Chapter 355: Chapter 355: Having a Baby is Top Priority
The moment the private detective hung up the phone and was about to track down Gu Wei’s location, he heard a cold voice from behind: "Looking for me?"
The detective’s body stiffened. He turned his head and cursed inwardly: Damn!
With over a decade of experience, he had rarely been discovered, yet today, he had blown his cover, and he had no clue where he went wrong.
Gu Wei approached him, reaching out for his camera.
For some reason, he obediently handed over the camera.
Gu Wei opened the camera, checked the photos for a while, and then said faintly, "Private detective?"
"Yes, that’s right."
"Pretty professional."
Was that a compliment?
The private detective actually felt quite pleased.
"I’ve been doing this for over a decade."
"Not bad, but it’s a shame you ran into me. I hail from a counter-surveillance background."
The private detective involuntarily exclaimed, "Bro!"
"Who hired you?" Gu Wei asked.
"That’s... There’s a confidentiality agreement in this line of work; we can’t disclose client privacy."
Gu Wei stared into his eyes: "Let me guess then, someone with the surname Liu?"
The detective’s eyes shone, but he continued to guard the secret, "Bro, it’s... it’s hard to say."
"I guess it’s not Liu Yong, right?"
"It’s not Liu Yong, really not."
"Of course, it’s not Liu Yong. He wouldn’t be dumb enough to approach me in person. So I guess it’s his nephew, a young man, right?"
Liu Yong’s nephew was a driver in the compound.
The detective’s eyes lit up again, "Bro, if you were in our profession, you’d definitely make it big."
"You know what I do?"
"I... I know." If he didn’t know that, how could he even continue in this line?
"You must have investigated many officials, right? You’ve probably extorted quite a lot of money with that information, haven’t you?"
The evidence they gather would never end up with the disciplinary inspection department but rather become a tool for blackmail and extortion, such as affairs, infidelity, and bribery.
"Bro, we... we just scrape a living this way; we never thought about upholding justice, that’s not for the likes of us to consider."
Gu Wei returned the camera to him but confiscated the memory card inside, "Go back, and don’t follow me again."
"Bro, my card!"
Gu Wei suddenly gave him a stern look, and the detective instantly cowered.
"Bro, please have some mercy."
Gu Wei clapped his hands, and two bodyguards came out and threw the detective into the elevator.
Gu Wei could have thrown the man out himself, but by having the bodyguards do it, it emphasized his status.
...
Liu Xiangshang, the nephew of Liu Yong, received the refund from the private detective: I’m sorry, but we cannot take on this job.
Liu Xiangshang was baffled: Why not?
He texted back, but the other side had already blocked him.
Liu Xiangshang promptly reported to Liu Yong: The private detective said they couldn’t investigate and won’t take our case anymore.
Liu Yong had been prepared for this outcome.
A mere private detective trying to investigate Gu Wei? That was pure fantasy; he probably didn’t just fail to find anything but ended up exposing himself too.
But Liu Yong didn’t care; he was already arch-enemies with Gu Wei, so being exposed was just being exposed.
...
It was already 11 o’clock when Gu Wei got home.
When Su Meixi saw him return, she felt somewhat guilty and hurried over to hand him slippers, "Husband, you’ve had a hard day."
Gu Wei took the slippers and put them on, jokingly saying, "Isn’t it all for the grand plan of our family’s reproduction!"
"That... was the treatment tiring?" she also took his briefcase for him.
"What’s tiring about it? The medical staff are the ones who have it tough; I just lie there and follow the procedures."
Su Meixi snuggled into his embrace for a while, then kissed him, "Husband, do you want to drink something? Or eat something? I’ll prepare it for you."
"The doctor said, having supper too often has even more serious consequences."
"Ah, then let’s not eat. Having a baby is more important."
"You hypocritical woman, I thought you really cared about me, but in reality, you care about the future child."
"Let’s not talk about this anymore, we’ll do our best, and if it’s really not meant to be, let’s leave it to fate."
The two of them were affectionate for a while, and then Gu Wei went to take a shower, ready to go to bed.

Xi Wanfen had been keeping an eye on Liang Zhanbai these days.
In the past, when she had a crush on him, she was accustomed to searching for him in the crowd and paying attention to him.
But there weren’t many chances to see him.
Now that they were on the verge of breaking up, she could see him quite often.
Once, she stood by the window looking towards the main entrance; it was the clinic doctors’ off-duty time, and she saw Liang Zhanbai’s car drive out.
However, at the hospital entrance, his car stopped, and then Dang Li got into his car.
Her heart ached.
They hadn’t formally broken up yet, had they? How could he turn around and be with another woman so quickly?
One day, she finally waited for him in his consultation room.
When she saw him, his expression was still indifferent.
"I have something to say to you, come here for a moment," Xi Wanfen walked into one of the consultation rooms inside. It was after work hours now; no one else was around.
Liang Zhanbai followed her in.
Xi Wanfen looked at him; he was still that sunny, young, and handsome doctor who was irresistibly charming.
"What do you want to say to me?" Liang Zhanbai asked indifferently.
Xi Wanfen’s tears flowed, "You’ve changed."
"I have always been like this, and you have always been like that. We haven’t changed. We just temporary altered ourselves because we once liked each other. After being together for a while, we just reverted to our true selves."
"What is my true self?" Xi Wanfen asked him.
"You are a second-generation official, a young lady of wealth, pampered by everyone since childhood, a little Princess who can’t endure the slightest hardship," said Liang Zhanbai.
Xi Wanfen’s eyes moistened, and she revealed her thoughts: "My plan was like this: we each buy our own houses before marriage, your parents would live in the one you bought, and you would live in the one purchased by my family. We would live separately from your parents, but it would be convenient to take care of them."
Liang Zhanbai gave a faint smile, "You’ve thought it through very well, but we’re not going to get married."
"You want to break up with me?" Xi Wanfen asked.
Liang Zhanbai said, "My dad cares about face; he said that never before has he been so humiliated on a trip to Yun City. He wanted to meet your parents but didn’t get a chance.
So, your family is high-ranking officials, grand and unreachable; while ours is just ordinary folk, and even from out of town, I guess we deserve to be looked down upon. If I don’t break up with you now, should I wait for you to laugh at my family for failing to reach your level?"
Xi Wanfen said, "My parents didn’t refuse to meet your parents; they just told me to think things over carefully. Moreover, the issues between us weren’t resolved. Once our parents meet, our problems would become even harder to resolve."
Liang Zhanbai said, "It’s too late for anything now, let’s break up."
