Chapter 80: At This Moment, Gu He'an Misses Qin Yan Immensely

~8 min read 1,483 words

Gu He'an looked calmly at Lin Yan before him; her makeup was exquisite, she was dressed in beautiful, fashionable clothing, and her figure was curvaceous.

Without a doubt, she was a gorgeous rose; any man would take an extra look at her, and although he loved her too, the rose was delicate and unwilling to please him in that sort of matter, which truly made him miss that one night he spent with Qin Yan.

That night, Qin Yan sat on top of him, just like an epiphyllum blooming in the night; although he could not see her face clearly, she emitted a faint fragrance that fascinated him.

As long as Qin Yan could soften her stance this time and return to his side, he could overlook her previous antics.

After the indictment was submitted, the case had already been filed, and the court had even sent a subpoena to Qin Yan, preparing to select a date for the hearing, yet he still hadn't waited for Qin Yan to come and apologize.

His cell phone rang with a few dings, pulling back his thoughts; he tapped to check it, but it wasn't a message from Qin Yan, which made him irritable.

The text messages were a few refund notifications.

The total amount was exactly one hundred million.

He furrowed his brows; it was the money Qin Yan had donated, and it had actually been returned.

Generally, money used for charitable donations could not be returned, let alone such a huge sum.

"What's wrong? Why is your complexion so poor?" Lin Yan brought in some documents, and seeing his expression was off, she asked in confusion.

"Something is not right."

"What's not right?" Lin Yan reached out to check his phone and discovered the money had all been returned; she was stunned, "This money was taken back; it seems she knows she's afraid! The donation must have been an excuse from the start, and this money was long ago embezzled by her!"

Was that so?

Gu He'an was somewhat uncertain.

But this account that returned the funds was an official account, not like a private one.

The office door was knocked on, and before Gu He'an could say "come in," the head of the Public Relations Department ran in.

"President, it's bad; the Seedling Foundation has issued an announcement, and now our Gu Corporation is in trouble!"

"What do you mean?" Gu He'an furrowed his brows; he found this refunding account somewhat familiar, but for a moment, he couldn't recall where he had seen it.

"Because you want to sue Ms. Qin Yan, and at the time, among the projects Ms. Qin Yan donated to, there was the Seedling Foundation, and the parent company of the Seedling Foundation has invested in our Gu Corporation.

Because of this matter, after the foundation issued a notice on their official account that they would withdraw their capital, their subsidiary companies will never cooperate with Gu Corporation again in the future.

What's worse is that several other foundations have also issued notices and are even going to sue our Gu Corporation; if we don't handle this matter well, our reputation will be ruined."

When Qin Yan made the donation, she used Gu He'an's account and wrote down Gu Group; originally, this donation plan could have provided excellent publicity for Gu Corporation and even improved its reputation.

But now that Gu He'an wanted to sue the donor, Qin Yan, and the foundation was refunding the money, there was undoubtedly someone behind this manipulating things.

The goal was also very obvious: to ruin Gu Corporation.

Gu He'an grabbed his scalp, which was aching; he thought this was a private matter and never expected it would implicate Gu Corporation.

And he had paid even less attention to what projects Qin Yan had donated to, nor had he anticipated that an official entity would step forward, let alone kick Gu Corporation while it was down, leaving Gu Corporation once again at the center of public opinion.

Perhaps it was because his mood was bad, but he felt the pain in his leg injury intensify again.

The doctor Lin Yan found for him had also prescribed medicine, but it was only effective for two hours after taking it, and afterward, the pain would surge back in a dense, overwhelming way, disturbing his peace of mind.

He used to have this feeling before, but it would be relieved after taking the medicine Qin Yan prescribed; she would perform acupuncture on him, make him delicious Medicinal Cuisine, and even take care of him like a child, attending to every detail; afraid he would be bored, she would even read to him.

At this moment, he missed Qin Yan immensely.

"First go and suppress the public opinion; just say that all of this was maliciously guided by Qin Yan, that the President was completely unaware, and that she is taking revenge because of the marriage matter!" Lin Yan said.

Gu He'an frowned; was she pinning all the blame on Qin Yan?

Lin Yan looked serious, "President, right now, protecting Gu Corporation is the most important thing, and this matter was also caused by Qin Yan, so she should bear the consequences!"

She had finally obtained shares in Gu Corporation, and she didn't want the stock price of Gu Corporation to fall.

"President, at this critical juncture, this is the only way," the head of the Public Relations Department urged.

Gu He'an nodded helplessly, and after the head of the Public Relations Department went out, he called Yao Wen and told him to withdraw the indictment.

He could not let Gu Corporation be ruined because of one woman.

"I was just about to call you; there is a more troublesome matter now." Yao Wen's tone was urgent, "He'an, the share transfer agreement you had Qin Yan sign previously was not approved by the Industry and Commerce Bureau."

Gu He'an stood up abruptly in surprise, "How could it not be approved? Is it a problem with the documents, or?"

"It's that Qin Yan didn't have any shares at all; I had someone check, and those shares had long been transferred by her. The initial procedures were handled by you and the Industry and Commerce Bureau, so what is going on here?

Didn't you say Qin Yan only held ten percent? But in the records, she transferred an amount of twenty percent of the shares."

"Who did she transfer the shares to?"

"To the person in charge of a small company, surnamed An."

"Surnamed An?"

Gu He'an earnestly recalled Qin Yan's social circle; he didn't know anyone surnamed An.

"Investigate, you must find that person." Gu He'an hung up the phone and irritably swept all the documents on the table onto the floor.

Why, why did Qin Yan have to play with him like this!

"Brother He'an, how could this be? You even went to check back then; Qin Yan only held ten percent, and you also made arrangements with the Industry and Commerce Bureau, saying that as long as Qin Yan signed the share contract confirmation, the documents could be submitted, right?"

Lin Yan was also very shocked when she heard this news.

Qin Yan actually possessed twenty percent of Gu Corporation's shares!

And Gu He'an had missed it entirely.

"How would I know?" Gu He'an was also stunned by this news, and his head began to ache.

He saw that Yao Wen had sent a few more document screenshots, and when he tapped to check the date on the documents, it was actually the day after he and Qin Yan registered their marriage.

If he hadn't left to find Lin Yan that night, but instead had Qin Yan sign the contract, would the outcome have been different?

Suddenly, he thought of something and turned around abruptly to walk out.

"Brother He'an, where are you going?" Lin Yan followed behind him, and seeing his face was pale, she was somewhat worried.

"I'm going to verify something!"

Because he was too urgent, his footsteps were somewhat unsteady; Lin Yan wanted to support him, but she was pushed away by him.

Lin Yan's expression was ugly, and she wanted to say that he should be staying in the company right now to handle the company crisis, but Gu He'an didn't look at her again and left with hurried footsteps.

His emotions were very wrong.

Could he be going to look for Lin Yan?

She hurried to follow him, watching him drive back to where he lived, but instead of going home, he went to find the property management to pull up the surveillance footage.

She walked into the surveillance room and saw Gu He'an with bloodshot eyes, both of his hands trembling.

"He'an, are you alright?"

Lin Yan was puzzled; what on earth had he seen to make him so emotionally agitated?

Gu He'an's face turned pale, "So, she knew."
