Chapter 220: Chapter 220 Crisis Approaching (7)

The passengers in the car almost let out a collective gasp.

Xiaoliu’s eyes were bulging as she stared at Gu Nuan. She thought to herself that this woman was really ruthless. Only someone with a ruthless heart could have guessed this so quickly.

The others, upon seeing Chen Jiaming’s light chuckle, knew well that although Chen Jiaming wouldn’t openly confirm or deny it, Gu Nuan’s guess was undoubtedly correct.

Tengguang’s capital chain suddenly had issues, and then it was acquired by Changda at a low price. Anyone would understand that this was a setup. It was obvious who had a hand in Tengguang’s affairs.

And the reason someone would do such a thing was that certain people were too greedy, asking for too high a price, with their outrageous demands.

The big crocodile was simply teaching the little crocodile a lesson, nothing more.

At that moment, Gu Nuan’s mind was already pondering why it was necessary to take down Tengguang, to resort to such underhanded and sneaky tactics. It didn’t seem like something her father would do.

After realizing this shocking insider information, the car fell silent for the rest of the journey.

Most of them worked in finance, and harboring secret schemes was common practice.

Upon reaching the hotel, everyone was free to return to their rooms to rest. Their task was essentially complete, and they could all quietly await the celebration banquet hosted by Tengguang that night.

Zhong Qiaohui received a call from Xiaoliu and the others.

When on a business trip, it was natural to hope for a chance to hitch a free ride and enjoy the local scenery after work. The three women planned to take advantage of their freedom in the afternoon and take a stroll around the city.

They didn’t invite Gu Nuan, and Gu Nuan felt relieved by this. After all, all three of them were rich young ladies who paid by card when shopping—if they had asked her, Gu Nuan, to foot the bill, she truly wouldn’t have been able to afford it.

Gu Nuan was left alone in the hotel room. She opened her laptop and started working on her tasks while also waiting for a reply on her phone.

In the morning, Xiaoliu said someone was following them. When she glanced back, she almost thought it was Jiaming’s car.

Later, it seemed to her that Jiaming’s BMW wasn’t that color. Whether it was Jiaming’s car or not, she wasn’t too certain.

She had sent a text a long time ago, and he hadn’t replied. Was he perhaps turned off his phone, or was he on a plane?

Gu Nuan hadn’t expected that one day she would be so concerned about a man’s safety.

Normally, she would only have such concerns for her family.

It could only be said that Mr. Da Bai had unknowingly become one of her, Gu Nuan’s, family members.

Later, due to the fatigue of typing, Gu Nuan lay down on the bed and dozed off. When she woke up, it was almost four o’clock in the evening.

Picking up her phone, she suddenly saw a reply from Da Bai:

Nuannuan, I was halfway to chasing after you when my dad, being the worrywart he is, suddenly asked for my help with something. Wait for me, once I’ve done helping him, I’ll be able to come chase you by tomorrow morning.

Gu Nuan was surprised to see his message. She thought that there was no need for him to lie to her about this.

So, he really changed his itinerary on the spur of the moment because of his dad, or perhaps he had planned it all along.

Seeing that she didn’t respond, Da Bai suddenly confessed:

Yes, I was planning to see you and then attend to my dad’s task afterward, but then things changed unexpectedly on that end, and I had to detour there first.

It was clear that Da Bai knew his wife was super smart, and he couldn’t hide even the smallest lie from her.

Although he might seem casual and frivolous, without a serious bone in his body, Gu Nuan, after spending a long time with him, understood that inside, he was full of schemes and not at all as he appeared on the surface.
