Chapter 842: Eight hundred and thirty-seven words that kill, finally loosened up

Talking about other things, this boy seemed truly indifferent.

However, when the conversation turned to his girlfriend, the boy instantly became different.

In a moment, the boy was stunned.

Then his face showed great anger, and even a hint of fury.

"So what? I love her, and that’s enough," he said, visibly annoyed, to Gu Chen.

Clearly, Gu Chen’s words had offended him and made him feel uncomfortable.

But this was exactly what Gu Chen intended to do; he wanted to upset the boy and also to make him understand the reasoning behind it.

Gu Chen continued relentlessly, "Fine, you say your love for her is enough, and I’ll take your words for granted for the moment."

"But there’s another problem. Have you ever thought about it?"

"A few years from now, when you get out from the agreement, will she still love you as much as you love her?"

A girl has only so many youthful years to waste waiting for you.

The misdeeds you’re doing now are infringing upon interests worth nearly millions.

How many years do you think you need to spend inside under such circumstances?

Do you think you can get out in a short time?

By then, what do you expect her to do? Wait for you outside for several years?

Okay, even if she really waits for you, will you have money when you get out?

Can you provide a life for her then?"

"When you are without money or power, how are you going to survive in society? After the two of you get together, are you planning to just scrape by day by day?"

When you can’t find a job, what’s your plan then?

Are you still thinking of doing these dishonorable deeds, only to be caught and sent back to prison?"

Gu Chen bombarded him with a series of questions, questions that this sixteen- or seventeen-year-old boy had never considered.

Once Gu Chen posed these questions, it became clear that the boy was visibly overwhelmed.

He was, after all, not mature enough to consider such messy situations. Once Gu Chen finished speaking, the boy was completely taken aback.

"Have you ever given serious thought to everything I’m telling you now?

Do you think you’re being responsible towards her? What has she done for you?

And what have you done for her?

More importantly, how should she face you in the future, facing someone who has been to prison?"

Even if she can face you, what about her family? Her friends?

How will they look at you?

You might be able to withstand those disdainful glances, but can your girlfriend stand them as well?

When she faces all those strange and disdainful looks, what kind of pain do you think she will endure?"

Gu Chen told him all of these things and the reasoning behind them.

Now, after hearing all that Gu Chen had said, the boy’s entire demeanor had changed.

You could tell that at this moment, he seemed completely confused.

He had never thought about the things Gu Chen was telling him; he hadn’t realized that the matters behind them were so complex. He was somewhat lost, apparently unsure of what to do.

Perhaps when it came to other topics, he might have truly been indifferent, but when it came to his girlfriend, he was instantly dumbfounded.

He really didn’t know what to do, nor did he know what his next steps should be.

It seemed like whatever he did was wrong.

At that moment, he stood there dumbfounded, his face showing nothing but bewilderment.

"If you still can’t understand what I told you today, then it’s likely you’ll never have the chance to figure it out."

Gu Chen continued to address him, his gaze sharp and penetrating.

Standing there, he didn’t dare to look Gu Chen in the eye.

When facing Gu Chen, he felt as though he was facing his girlfriend.

His eyes were filled with guilt and a touch of panic.

It seemed he was very worried that in his current state, he simply couldn’t face his girlfriend.

"Who is the owner of this small workshop? Where is it located?"

Gu Chen repeated the initial question once more.

After he asked the question, hesitation was clearly visible on the man’s face.

It seemed he didn’t know whether to speak or not.

If he spoke, he felt he would be committing betrayal, but if he remained silent, he felt he would be letting down his girlfriend.

Now he was hesitant and somewhat conflicted.

At this point, Gu Chen said to him, "You can think about it a little more, but I recommend you don’t take too long to decide, because it’s very possible that some questions will need to be pondered in prison."

Gu Chen actually didn’t have the heart to bully this young man, but the issue was too grave.

He had to investigate the matter thoroughly until all was clear.

So even his speech was quite forceful.

He didn’t beat around the bush with many issues and asked them directly.

He could feel the immense pressure he was imposing on these young men.

It made them not even sure how to face Gu Chen.

It was evident that they were starting to become afraid.

"I don’t know who he really is, but he asked us to call him Brother Qiang."

"He’s a decent person who often treated us to meals. I only got to know about him through a friend’s introduction at the beginning.

He’s not very old, in his thirties, I guess.

Usually, he doesn’t come to manage us directly.

He just sends someone every day to pay us, but as for the workshop’s location, I really don’t know. However, I heard it might have been converted from a paper factory,"

Under the pressure, the young man eventually gave in and revealed all this to Gu Chen.

After listening, Gu Chen nodded his head.

"Congratulations, you’ve done something you won’t regret for the rest of your life."

Gu Chen could tell that the young man was very sincere when he said this, so it was unlikely that he was lying.

If that was the case, then the problem was relatively easy to solve.

He immediately headed to Ji Pianran’s company.

At the same time, he made a call to Old Yuan, asking him to help check how many paper mills had been converted.

Upon reaching Ji Pianran’s company, he found that all the employees were discussing something animatedly.

Everyone was chattering, appearing very unsettled.

Gu Chen didn’t concern himself with this; after all, it had nothing to do with him.

He went straight upstairs to the office of Ji Pianran.

Knocking on the office door, he heard Ji Pianran’s very despondent voice from inside.

"Come in."
