Standing in front of the black car, Dongfang Yu’s mouth curved into a cold smile.
He had lived a long time, and sometimes, the warmth in his heart had actually vanished long ago.
What remained was nothing more than a disdainful attitude, looking down on everything.
Dongfang Yu got into the car with the cat, and the vehicle slowly left the deserted alley, heading towards the main road.
When he arrived at the apartment, he found Lin Fanpeng anxiously waiting at the door.
He frowned. What could this old man want from him again? It was truly bothersome.
His frown deepened in displeasure.
He walked toward his apartment as if no one else was around.
Lin Fanpeng followed him into the house, trotting along behind him.
He did not beat around the bush and stated his purpose directly.
Dongfang Yu sneered, "Lin Fanpeng, I can understand you saving your granddaughter—she’s in the prime of her life, young, and related to you by blood, but why are you so concerned about a woman over seventy? Could she be an old flame of yours?"
Dongfang Yu’s eyes took on a wicked slant as he raised one eyebrow, looking darkly at Lin Fanpeng’s flushed face.
Lin Fanpeng quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, it’s not like that. She’s not an old lover, just a partner. Actually, whether she’s dead or alive doesn’t matter to me, but she has documents and contracts of two of my companies in her hands. Now, she disappeared before she could set these affairs in order, so I am in a hurry."
"So what if she has disappeared. Just act as if she never existed."
"No, that won’t do. Those two companies are very important, and one of them is a gold mine. Plus, she has quite a few gemstones in her possession."
Unexpectedly, Dongfang Yu’s brows suddenly relaxed.
Lin Fanpeng was delighted, for indeed, like before, the Sect Leader still loved gleaming gold and sparkling gemstones.
Lin Fanpeng said ingratiatingly, "Sect Leader, the gold mine was originally prepared for you. It’s just that you haven’t shown up for many years, and I was not in a position to reveal myself, so I entrusted it to Ning Wanru.
Now that she has suddenly disappeared, and hasn’t had the chance to explain everything, I am quite anxious. But with your capabilities, Sect Leader, you definitely know where she is right now.
I hope that before she dies, I can get my hands on all the data of that gold mine and the coal mine, because I only have half of it, while the other half is controlled by her..."
Lin Fanpeng had earlier thought that Ning Wanru might get caught, but he was confident knowing that if she went in, it would be with more scare than harm.
And before that, she had placed those things in a secret location.
Only Ning Wanru knew about it.
But Lin Fanpeng never imagined Ning Wanru would disappear from the hospital.
And no one had discovered who was behind it.
So Lin Fanpeng did not dare to underestimate Gu Qingfeng.
This man, once he became ruthless, truly dared to do anything.
Dongfang Yu sat on the sofa.
His hands were tucked into the sleeves of his fur coat.
He looked lazy and relaxed.
Although the room was warm, he still felt an innate chill to his bones.
Every winter was a struggle, so much so that Dongfang Yu felt that living was a form of suffering.
However, today felt considerably better than usual.
Dongfang Yu held the White Cat in his arms and mused for a moment before asking, "How big is that gold mine?"
As soon as Lin Fanpeng heard the Sect Leader ask about the size of the gold mine, he knew there was a chance for his plan to succeed.
