Chapter 325: Chapter 325: I Love You (99)

Shi Xiaotian clasped his hands together, "Can you answer one more question for me?"

"Sure."

"If it hadn’t been for this incident, and I had confessed to you, would you resign because of me?"

Liang He pondered before replying, "It depends. Generally, I wouldn’t stay by your side unless I really liked you; then I would stay. Your position can be replaced by anyone, anytime. If you had understood this, perhaps you wouldn’t have been so impulsive."

Shi Xiaotian looked ashen, "It’s too late to say anything now, time cannot be turned back."

"I’ll pay you double your salary for this month. You may leave now."

She didn’t refuse, stood up, and bowed to him before leaving.

Liang He picked up his phone, transferred double the salary to Shi Xiaotian’s bank account, and then reposted a message on Weibo: [Recruitment: High-paying, hiring a male assistant manager. Requirements: Bachelor’s degree or higher, physically fit, no bad habits, family preferred, harmonious marital relationship preferred, cooking skills preferred, handsome preferred, unattractive need not apply. If you are confident and brave, send your details and ID scan through a private message. I will announce the selected applicants in a week.]

Once posted, the message’s popularity surged.

He watched as this Weibo post was widely shared and commented on, and his inbox exploded with messages in a short time. He silently put down his phone.

The doorbell kept ringing. Gu Lili was bathing leisurely and slowly dressed herself and wrapped her head in a towel before going to open the door.

The visitors were Director Ma Shijie from the city police department and two other officers.

"Director Ma?"

"Miss Gu, sorry to disturb your peace, I’m here on urgent business."

Almost without a second thought, Gu Lili knew why they had come, "Please come in."

Following her inside, Gu Lili turned up the heating in the living room, "Would you like some coffee or tea?"

"No need to trouble yourself, Miss Gu. Here’s the situation: a high-ranking leader’s wife has been acting erratically since returning from a temple visit. She seemed fine before, but now she’s almost insane. We’ve consulted over a dozen knowledgeable people, but none could provide any answers. We then thought of you and I was sent to request your assistance."

"Which leader?" She removed the towel from her head and wiped her hair, "Which one?"

"The Vice-Chairman of the Military Commission."

Gu Lili was astonished, "Such a high-ranking leader?"

"Yes, that’s why it’s really urgent. If you’re available, Miss Gu, could you come with me to City B?"

"Okay, I’ll change clothes and dry my hair."

"Sure, we’ll wait here for you."

Gu Lili went back to her room and quickly changed. Her hair still damp, she draped it over her shoulders, grabbed her usual carry-on items, and left with a shoulder bag.

She didn’t take the police department’s vehicle, but drove herself.

It was just turning dark when she drove from City A to City B.

It was raining mixed with snow in City B.

The car stopped at the military district compound.

Gu Lili got out of her car and entered the compound with Director Ma and the other two officers.

Normally, vehicles not belonging to residents of the military district weren’t allowed inside unless belonging to someone of significant authority.

Director Ma registered with the Guards, and the four of them walked in.

Guards could be seen everywhere, dressed in uniform, and the entire military district compound was filled with five-storey residences. From the outside, it was impossible to tell which housed the important figures.
