"Yicheng, I heard that the Gu Family’s pharmaceutical factory has run into problems. It seems the investors suddenly decided not to fund it anymore." Xu Nian’an’s first thought upon hearing the news was Pei Yicheng.
"Good news, isn’t it? Weren’t you aiming to earn more than the Gu Family?" Pei Yicheng knew full well that Xu Nian’an wanted to know more than just this, but he didn’t provide a direct answer.
"Yicheng, you know that’s not what I’m asking." Xu Nian’an stared intensely at Pei Yicheng and asked, "Yicheng, does this involve you?"
"What do you think?" Pei Yicheng responded with a question instead of an answer.
Xu Nian’an raised an eyebrow, got the hint, and didn’t ask further.
Xu Nianhua was greatly shocked when she heard the news.
Could her rebirth have caused a butterfly effect, changing everything?
True enough, her second brother is doing well, her eldest brother and his wife are loving each other, not only with Zhuangzhuang as a nephew but also expecting another child.
Is this really an accident?
"Do you think I did it?" Pei Yicheng raised an eyebrow, looking at Xu Nianhua’s inquisitive face, and he answered earnestly, "Nianhua, I believe it’s the Gu Family’s own mismanagement. It has nothing at all to do with me."
"That’s true." Xu Nianhua nodded in agreement. She had intended to expose the Gu Family’s deceitful practices as soon as the pharmaceutical factory started, but now it seems unlikely that the factory can even get up and running.
It’s said that the Gu Family has already collected many herbs and is just waiting for the final batch of funds to arrive before they transport the most crucial machine!
Perhaps the Gu Family is just facing retribution for their wrongdoings.
Xu Nianhua didn’t dwell on the Gu Family’s problems for too long. Regardless of what happens to the Gu Family, it has nothing to do with her as long as they don’t provoke her. Let them do as they please.
Of course, she wouldn’t mind giving them another push, but unfortunately, she’s still in school and has limited manpower at her disposal. She needs to think carefully about how the Gu Family collapsed in her past life.
"Nianhua, recently, I’ve also discovered something. Would you like to take a look?" Pei Yicheng revealed the findings Ling Dong shared to Xu Nianhua, almost making her eyes pop out in shock.
She thought Gu Mingzhu was only targeting her, but it turns out Gu Mingzhu has secretly done so much more?
Could a single girl like Gu Mingzhu have done all these things?
Who’s helping her from behind the scenes?
"Wild Wolf." Pei Yicheng seemed to understand Xu Nianhua’s confusion and explained the background of Wild Wolf, who got into trouble in the sixties, served some time, and then made quite a name for himself, albeit in shady dealings. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝘯𝘦𝘵
In South City, Wild Wolf owns several dance halls and mingles with various people from all walks of life.
"Why do you think Wild Wolf is so eager to help Gu Mingzhu?" Xu Nianhua wondered. Previously, in the Chili Sauce Factory incident, Wild Wolf supported Gu Mingzhu.
The thief incident was also Wild Wolf’s doing.
This Wild Wolf, it seems, isn’t lacking for money, so why is he so keen to help Gu Mingzhu?
"Perhaps there’s an even bigger secret behind it." Pei Yicheng couldn’t wrap his head around this either, so he redirected the conversation, saying, "The things Gu Mingzhu’s done, I’m telling you so that when you encounter her, you must be very cautious!"
Though Xu Nianhua sometimes appeared clever, she still underestimated the dark side of human nature.
