Chapter 61: Disguise

~4 min read 694 words

Fu Sijue furrowed his brows, momentarily finding it hard to accept.

"President Fu, I can guarantee the accuracy of this result," Shen Shu's expression was solemn and serious.

The matter is of great importance; even if he dislikes Gu Qingmeng, he wouldn't fabricate this case.

"President Fu, shall we continue the investigation?"

"Investigate," Fu Sijue narrowed his Phoenix Eyes and coldly spat the word.

Whether or not it involves Gu Qingmeng, the case must be pursued to a conclusion.

"We must not only investigate the people she has contacted during this period, but also examine the flow of funds in her bank account."

Fu Sijue stared expressionlessly at the computer screen, his gaze icy and devoid of any emotion.

Shen Shu nodded.

After Shen Shu pushed the door open and left, a figure with a solemn expression walked away from the president's office doorway.

Fu Sijue sat in the spacious office, suddenly recalling Xi Wan's words.

Perhaps Gu Qingmeng was never simple from the start; he had simply been blinded all along.

"Miss Gu, Shen Shu has discovered your meeting with Heihu; be careful in the coming days!"

After sending the message cautiously, a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on the man's face.

He glanced around as if fearing discovery, then pretended to be calm and continued working.

Gu Qingmeng received the message, her complexion slightly darkened, her brows tightly knit.

She had clearly concealed herself well, yet Shen Shu still uncovered it…

Gu Qingmeng quickly opened her phone and found that familiar number.

"I'm heading to you now; you all stay inside."

Delaying this any further would only make it harder to resolve; she needed to settle it before Fu Sijue discovered it.

Gu Qingmeng, being meticulous, wrapped herself tightly, took a taxi upon leaving, and deliberately lowered her voice to state the destination.

Gu Qingmeng frowned, followed the address Heihu had sent, and arrived at a dilapidated shanty.

"Miss Gu, you finally arrived; we've been waiting for you for days, thought you'd never come back to us."

Amidst the surprised gazes, Gu Qingmeng removed the sunglasses that covered half her face.

"I've told you that someone has been investigating you during this period; you still exposed yourselves—Shen Shu found you."

Gu Qingmeng's expression turned very sour; she hadn't expected these people to be so foolish.

Heihu squinted, sizing her up, "So Miss Gu, are you going to send us away now?"

"Of course, you may not stay any longer!"

Gu Qingmeng spoke resolutely.

"You may let us go, but our line of work is licking blood on the tip of a blade; you must give us some guarantee."

Heihu again flashed a greedy smile, rubbing two fingers together a few times.

"This matter is not up to you."

Gu Qingmeng's face hardened: "Don't forget, if Fu Sijue discovers what you did, it will be far worse!"

"We don't mind; even death would be a miserable fate, but Miss Gu is different—you'll be the future Madam Fu!"

A few thugs, who would do anything for money, wore a brazen demeanor before Gu Qingmeng.

Heihu stepped forward boldly, and Gu Qingmeng let out a cold laugh.

"What are you, daring to threaten me?"

As soon as the words fell, Heihu's expression changed: "What do you mean?"

"You all come in."

Accompanying Gu Qingmeng's words, several hulking men entered.

"So fond of money?" Gu Qingmeng said, looking at Heihu; her smile faded, turning into a cold, cruel expression.

From now on, the four of them, including Heihu, need not exist any longer.

"Initially I intended to keep you as four obedient dogs, but you disobeyed… My patience has limits, so you'll have to go first."

Gu Qingmeng's delicate face, seen by the men, resembled a demon; though she still smiled, the smile made their hearts shiver.

At that moment, Heihu felt a bone‑chilling cold emanating from the wealthy young lady he had always despised.

"Make sure to seal their mouths, don't soil your clothes, and leave no trace."

She ordered coldly.

Soon, the men swiftly dealt with Heihu.

Gu Qingmeng once again donned that pure white, gentle mask and walked out of the room.
