MANOEUVRE

CHAPTER 701 - GU YUAN'S TASKS

Zhou Luo looked at Ann Xu in dissatisfaction, Hall Master Xu, what did you call me for?

Ann Xu said, Since Hall Master Zhou already knows about the matter between me and Zhang Shi, then I won't hide it from you. Actually, I have my own difficulties.

Ann Xu's words made Zhou Luo burst into laughter: Trouble? I think your problem is that you can't become John's lackey immediately!"

Ann Xu sighed and said, What Hall Master Zhou saw was just the surface phenomenon. Ever since the Sect Leader talked to us the other day, Zhang Shi has been trying to convince me to join John, so I had no choice but to pretend to agree. Now that the situation has developed to this point, I definitely won't join John, so I invited Hall Master Zhou here.

Zhou Luo hesitated for a moment before saying, Now that Zhang Shi's betrayal to Lin Ming has become a fact, and you are suspected of being an accomplice, I can't believe your words for the time being. I want to hear your plans for the future.

Ann Xu said, It's like this, now that I've joined John with Zhang Shi, I believe that John and the others have already lost their vigilance towards us. I can go deep into the enemy camp and get their information, and then inform the gang leader and Hall Master Zhou.

Hearing Ann Xu's plan, Zhou Luo was a little tempted, but she immediately snapped out of her reverie, Then it's settled. You don't have any proof in your words, so I can't trust you for now. I'll wait for you to show some sincerity.

Ann Xu smiled and said, Of course, please speak up for me in front of the gang leader. After all, I'm risking my life right now.

Zhou Luo stood up. Then it's a deal. I'll tell the Sect Master about what happened today and take my leave first.

Xu An walked Zhou Luo back to the bar after seeing her off. Looking at the red wine in his glass, he said to himself, Although I don't have to worry about Lin Ming for now, the real test is only starting now. It's not easy to be a double agent.

After leaving the bar, Zhou Luo told the story of Zhang Shi and Ann Xu to Lin Ming and also told Lin Ming about Ann Xu's idea of going deep into the enemy camp. When Lin Ming heard this, he flew into a rage.

Lin Ming took a deep breath and said, For now, you don't need to worry about this. You have to protect your own safety. Leave the rest to me.

Although Zhou Luo really wanted to do her own thing for this matter, she needed Lin Ming's help to manage the internal affairs of the Goldfinch. Thus, Zhou Luo resolutely carried this heavy burden on her shoulders and started to head towards the Goldfinch base.

Lin Ming angrily hung up the phone and scolded, Zhang Shi is indeed ambitious. I was worried that he would betray me, so after I became the Sect Leader, not only did I expand his power, the benefits I gave him were more than double the previous ones. I never thought that he would still have such evil intentions. Damn it!

Tang Wan comforted him, "In the end, this matter is still based on the brilliant methods of John and the rest. In order to expand the scope of Binjiang City, they set their sights on Zhang Shi, who is easily rebellious.

Furthermore, the current situation isn't very good for us. People like Zhang Shi who know how to use the wind to their advantage will certainly move in the direction of maximizing benefits. But fortunately, that Ann Xu didn't truly betray you.

After listening to Tang Wan's explanation, Lin Ming felt slightly gratified, I bet Zhang Shi still doesn't know that Ann Xu has shown us his sincerity and is still in the dark. Finally, there's something that makes me happy.

Hee Lu said, Now that we know about Zhang Shi's betrayal, it's better for us to plan ahead so that we won't be caught unprepared.

Wu Tie nodded, What Miss Hee said makes a lot of sense. However, on the surface, we still need to pretend that we don't know anything. At least we can't let Zhang Shi find out anything.

Tang Wan analyzed: This matter still needs a long term consideration. Now that Zhou Luo is in your place to manage Goldfinch, I believe she will not disappoint you.

Lin Ming sighed. This girl has always been under my protection. It's about time for her to do something for me. I hope she won't let me down.

On the other side, Gu Yuan also found John through the phone. It was not a villa, but a normal coffee shop.

Gu Yuan's hope failed in an instant and he sat opposite John: I didn't expect you to be such a person who understands the taste of life.

John took a sip of the coffee and said, Young Master Gu has filtered it. Did Young Master Gu come to find me because he has thought it through?

Gu Yuan's eyes revealed a murderous look, That's right, I've decided to join your team.

John looked at Gu Yuan with interest. Oh, can you tell me the reason why Young Master Gu changed his mind?

Gu Yuan leaned back in his chair and said, There's no reason. As everyone knows Lin Hao, I am useless now. I believe any man would not be willing to continue like this.

John laughed, So Young Master Gu is a hot-blooded man. I am not mistaken.

Cut the crap, what do you want me to do next?

John said, According to our investigation, the stock's failure was due to a woman called Ling Qiuyan. Does Young Master Gu know her?

Ling Qiuyan. Gu Yuan repeated the name in his mouth and continued. He is the director of Tianyu Group, since when did Karl become interested in this unknown junior? "

John shook his finger and said, It's not that Karl is interested in this person, but our master is especially interested in Ling Qiuyan. Young Master Gu should be clear about Karl's name, and he should be clear about the fact that very few people are willing to give in to Karl's efforts. Furthermore, Karl is already very old, so we need to absorb fresh blood.

Seeing that John had told him all his thoughts, Gu Yuan asked tentatively, Aren't you afraid that I'll tell this news to Lin Hao after you've told me so much?

John said confidently, Of course I'm not afraid, because I believe Young Master Gu came to find me because he has no other choice. For the sake of our courtesy, I hope that Young Master Gu can do something for me.

Don't tell me you want me to bring Ling Qiuyan here?

John looked at Gu Yuan in surprise and said, Young Master Gu is really smart, that's what he meant.

The moment he said that, Gu Yuan's heart instantly rose to his throat.

John, are you testing me?

Of course not, I know Young Master Gu's heart very well. It's just because Young Master Gu got such important information from me, so of course he has to pay the same amount of chips.

Gu Yuan sneered: I didn't expect you foreigners to be so ruthless when doing things.

Young Master Gu, I believe it shouldn't be a problem for you to bring Ling Qiuyan here. I look forward to your good news.

Seeing that John was about to leave, Gu Yuan asked, Where do I need to take Ling Qiuyan?

John stopped and replied, Contact me when things are done. I will tell you the location. Young Master Gu, don't let me down!

Looking at John's proud back, Wu Tie clenched his fists in anger: Isn't it just bringing Ling Qiuyan over? Alright, I promise you!"

With that, Gu Yuan left the coffee shop aggressively and advanced towards the Tianyu Group.

John returned to the mansion and found Karl. At this moment, Karl was still unable to leave the stock market due to the failure.

John said, Mr Karl, I've already investigated the people who have seen through our stock market.

Karl's eyes lit up as he asked, Who is it?

It's the director of Tianyu Group, called Ling Qiuyan.

Director? Karl laughed while patting his head. I, Karl, a dignified economic storm, was defeated by a Director. What a joke, a huge joke! "

A murderous look suddenly appeared in Andelu's eyes as he stared at John and said, Jack, I wonder if you could do something for me.

Mr Karl, please speak.

Bring that Ling Qiuyan over, I want to meet her.

John said with confidence, Mr Karl, don't worry. I have already dealt with this matter. I believe we will bring Ling Qiuyan here soon.

John's answer was somewhat unexpected to Karl, but once he thought about Karl's ability to do things, this matter was logical.

Who did Mr John send?

I wonder if Mr Karl still remembers the Gu Yuan that I mentioned to you not long ago? He has agreed to join our ranks, and in order to test his loyalty, I asked him to do this for Ling Qiuyan. "

Karl looked at John in admiration, Awesome, awesome! Not only can we capture Ling Qiuyan, but we can also make Gu Yuan lose all face in front of Wu Tie and the others, and affect the unity of the three families. This Shi San Bird's plan is really beautiful.

Thank you, Mr Karl, for your praise.

At this moment, the phone rang. Seeing that, John said his goodbyes and left Karl's line of sight.

Karl quickly answered the phone and politely said, Master.

On the other end of the phone, Xu Jie said, Karl, I heard about your stock situation at home. I wonder how it is going?

Seeing that Xu Jie had got straight to the point, Karl braced himself and said, The stock issue is indeed my fault, causing the company to lose a lot of money. But don't worry, Master, I will make up for this money as soon as possible.

Xu Jie said without care, It doesn't matter, compared to you, it's nothing. Besides, you created more than 90 million for the company, so I called you to not waste too much energy on this. Don't forget the task I gave you.

CHAPTER 702 - TOOK AWAY THE WILD GEESE

Xu Jie's words made Karl feel relieved. He felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart, Thank you Master, thank you. In addition, I have already investigated who found the stocks, and I will make a move on them soon.

Karl, I still have to warn you, the situation at home is not like overseas, China is a country that values the law. If you really do something that involves you, not to mention I didn't remind you, even I can't save you.

What Xu Jie said was just to tell Karl not to overdo things. The smart Karl obviously knew what Xu Jie meant and said firmly.

Master, don't worry. I know my limits.

Alright, you just have to hang on for a little while longer. After I finish my work here, I'll go back home. Before that, I'll need you to put in a bit more effort.

Don't worry, Master.

Xu Jie hung up the phone in satisfaction. He looked at the two brothers, Shang Pin and Shang Jing, and said, I believe that Karl will do things for me with his feet on the ground this time.

The two brothers, Shang Pin and Shang Jing, couldn't help being deeply impressed by Xu Jie's foresight.

Xu Jie continued, I believe Karl will not let that Ling Qiuyan go easily. I think I have to remind John to keep Ling Qiuyan safe so as to avoid Karl going overboard. After all, this is a talent we have to nurture.

With that, Xu Jie gave John a call and told him his intentions. After getting John's assurance, Xu Jie happily put down the phone and leaned back in his chair.

After the death of Karl in the country, his face was filled with a vicious look. His mind was filled with images of how to destroy Ling Qiuyan.

Karl finished the red wine on the desk in one gulp. He couldn't help but feel ecstatic. I'd like to see who you are!

Gu Yuan, who received the order, walked in front of the Tianyu Group door alone. Currently, the alliance of the three great families had already formed, and when the security guards at the door saw Gu Yuan arriving, not only did he not extend his hand to stop him, he even enthusiastically greeted him and asked.

I wonder why Young Master Gu is here at Tianyu Group today?

Looking at the hospitable security guards, Gu Yuan answered, Nothing much, just strolling around. By the way, are President Yu and Lin Hao here?

What a coincidence, President Yu and Minister Lin just went out for a while ago. They haven't come back yet, if anything happens to Young Master Gu, I'll call Minister Lin right now and tell him that you're looking for him.

As he said that, the security guard took out his phone from his pocket and pressed a series of numbers. Just as he was about to press the dial button, he was stopped by Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan smiled and said, I believe President Yu and Lin Hao must have some business to attend to. There's no need to be in such a hurry to call them back. I'm just here to take a look.

Young Master Gu, do we need to send two people to follow you?

Gu Yuan waved his hand and walked towards the building while puffing out his chest: It's okay, I can't lose it.

Seeing that he didn't use his enthusiasm, the security guard felt a little disappointed. He didn't pay too much attention to Gu Yuan's purpose in coming and went back to his post.

Andelu laughed coldly. Since Lin Hao and Yu Yuchen were both not in Tianyu Group, it was a good opportunity for him to make a move. In order to pass this rare opportunity, Andelu directly sat on the elevator and walked towards Leelee's office.

At this moment, Ling Qiuyan was engrossed in her work and did not notice the approaching danger at all.

At this moment, Ling Qiuyan knocked on the door and spoke without turning her head. Gu Yuan gently opened the office door and walked in. He looked at the busy Ling Qiuyan and was worried that Lin Hao would come back at any moment.

Ling Qiuyan looked up in dissatisfaction. Just as she was about to say something nasty, she saw Gu Yuan. Although she had never had a good impression of Gu Yuan, for Yu Yuchen's sake, she still forced herself to treat Gu Yuan with respect.

Young Master Gu, if you're looking for President Yu, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. She just left not long ago. If there's nothing else, please take your hand away. I still have work to do.

Although Ling Qiuyan tried her best to maintain a calm attitude as she talked to Gu Yuan, from Gu Yuan's point of view, she could still smell a hint of coldness in his tone.

Director Ling, you're wrong this time. I'm not looking for Yu Yuchen, I'm looking for you.

Ling Qiuyan laughed. Seeing that Gu Yuan didn't want to take his pen away, she put it on the table.

Oh, really? Why can't I remember that Young Master Gu and I were friends before?

Seeing Ling Qiuyan turn serious, Gu Yuan took his hand down, Now that the three great families have teamed up against John and the others, it is common knowledge in the world that Director Ling works for Yu Yuchen, and I am a member of the Gu family. No matter what, Director Ling and I are friends.

Obviously, Ling Qiuyan didn't have the slightest interest in making friends with someone like Gu Yuan. It could be said that she was deeply disgusted.

For a famous person like Young Master Gu, I, as a small director, am unable to afford it. I believe that Young Master Gu didn't come to find me to reminisce about the past. Just say what you want to say openly.

Seeing that Ling Qiuyan didn't like him, Gu Yuan suppressed the anger in his heart and said, Director Ling, your reputation is no less than Yu Yuchen's right now. You were the first to discover the hidden danger in the stock market and saved the economies of the three families.

Ling Qiuyan didn't care that much about Gu Yuan's praise. She said coldly, I only happened to discover it, I don't intend to use it as a contribution. But, I still have to thank Young Master Gu for his praise.

Seeing Ling Qiuyan make some concessions, Gu Yuan got down to business. Even if you don't know much about the world, I believe Director Ling has heard of John, right?

Hearing Gu Yuan mention John, Ling Qiuyan naturally thought back to the scene when she met John last night. After a short period of sluggishness, she said, Of course I know, isn't he in the same group as the bank's mastermind, Karl? Why did Young Master Gu suddenly ask this?

Nothing much, not long ago, John found me and invited me to join Karl.

Gu Yuan's words made Ling Qiuyan more and more uneasy. Then what is Young Master Gu's answer?

Gu Yuan looked at Ling Qiuyan and said, I, Gu Yuan, am someone who believes that Director Ling knows who I am. I know that even though my abilities aren't all that outstanding, I still know how to repay favors and favors. If Lin Hao hadn't invited me to join, I think I would probably end up like Xu Rong now.

Ling Qiuyan said expressionlessly, It seems that Young Master Gu knows his place.

Of course, I know my own abilities. Ever since John and the rest arrived, we have been in a difficult situation, the bank has been robbed and the house is in turmoil. If it wasn't for Director Ling's foresight, I'm afraid I would have lost out on the stock market. So, the reason I came to find Director Ling today is to get Director Ling to join John with me.

When she heard about Gu Yuan's real purpose, Ling Qiuyan slapped the table and stood up. She glared at Gu Yuan and said, Gu Yuan, do you know what you're saying right now? Right now, the three great families are at a critical moment of survival, yet you want to turn to John for the sake of your insignificant personal interest. Don't you feel ashamed?"

Gu Yuan said calmly, A wise man knows his place. To be honest, I also want to stay and help Lin Hao defeat John, but Lin Hao's Hero Aura has already covered me completely. Rather than listening to Lin Hao's orders, I might as well find another way.

Hearing Gu Yuan's daydream, Ling Qiuyan walked down and stood in front of Gu Yuan.

I never thought that Uncle Gu, who was famous in Binjiang City, would actually have such a submissive son. It really makes people look at him in a new light.

Seeing that Ling Qiuyan had insulted her father, Gu Yuan did not hesitate to smack Ling Qiuyan hard in the face and knock her down to the ground.

Leelee, I didn't come to find you because I value you. If it wasn't for Andelu wanting to meet you, I wouldn't have come here so painstakingly. Lin Hao and Yu Yuchen aren't here right now, so if I wanted to take you away, it would be as easy as flipping my palm!

The usually cold Ling Qiuyan gave people a feeling that she was sacred and inviolable. Now that she was slapped in the face by Gu Yuan, of course she wouldn't swallow her anger. She struggled up from the ground and swung her hands towards Gu Yuan, but in Gu Yuan's eyes, Ling Qiuyan's attack was no different from a baby's.

Gu Yuan grabbed onto Ling Qiuyan's neck tightly and said, Fuck, I know you don't like me, Gu Yuan, but so what? Aren't you completely submissive to my treatment? Let me tell you, you'd better behave, or else I'll make you suffer! "

Under Gu Yuan's terrible threat, the noble Ling Qiuyan could only give up and obediently let Gu Yuan lead her out of the office.

The staff member was at a loss when he saw Gu Yuan kidnap Ling Qiuyan out of the office. He didn't know why the situation had turned out like this as he stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do. Only the few people called Security Department and told Wang Sisheng what they saw.

Wang Sisheng, who received the call, instantly became spirited. He brought a pair of security guards to guard the hall while Gu Yuan kidnapped Ling Qiuyan and walked down from the elevator.

Seeing that the exit was tightly surrounded by security guards, Gu Yuan knew that dragging it out would only make things worse. He decided to just leave it at that and put more effort into it. Ling Qiuyan was in pain and her expression turned ugly.

Wang Sisheng saw the situation and asked, Gu Yuan, do you know what you're doing?

Of course I know. All you have to do is worry about Ling Qiuyan's life. As long as you let me go, I guarantee that I won't hurt Ling Qiuyan.

Wang Sisheng frowned, Gu Yuan, you have to keep your word!

CHAPTER 703 - GUEST BY DOOR

Of course, now is the time for you to show your sincerity.

Wang Sisheng waved his right hand and the security guards let go of the door. Gu Yuan carefully moved forward and his strength gradually decreased.

Ling Qiuyan said, Gu Yuan, I know you must have your reasons for doing this. As long as you look back now, there's still time.

Gu Yuan said with disdain, Director Ling, don't try to persuade me. Instead, I think you should consider your own safety.

Under the cover of Ling Qiuyan, Gu Yuan slowly left the building. When they received Wang Sisheng's notice, Lin Hao and Yu Yuchen also rushed back at this moment.

Seeing that it was exactly like Wang Sisheng had said, Yu Yuchen flew into a rage, Gu Yuan, let go of Ling Qiuyan. We can do anything we want!

Seeing that Yu Yuchen and Lin Hao had come back, Gu Yuan said loudly, How funny, you think I can still turn back now that things have come to this point? I'll tell you the truth, I've already promised to join hands with John, and soon, you'll all be dead, hahaha.

Gu Yuan's impudent laughter echoed in everyone's ears, causing them to shudder in fear.

Lin Hao seemed to be able to see through it. From the beginning to the end, he didn't say anything too impulsive and just stabilized Gu Yuan's emotions.

Just like this, Gu Yuan safely retreated to the front door. Just as he was about to open the door, two SUVs sped up and stopped in between Gu Yuan and Lin Hao, blocking their line of sight.

The ones who opened the car door were John and Han Mu: What are you guys waiting for? Get in here quickly!

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment before he got into the car with Ling Qiuyan and left.

Yu Yuchen hurriedly informed Wang Sisheng and the others to drive the car to catch up, but she was stopped by Lin Hao.

Now that life was in danger, Lin Hao was out of the ordinary and made Yu Yuchen angry: Lin Hao, what are you doing? Don't tell me you're not in a hurry when Ling Qiuyan is taken away?

Lin Hao pinched his chin and pushed back the crowd saying, I'm sure John must have come prepared to pick Gu Yuan up. If we chase after him now, I'm afraid we would be the ones to regret it.

Yu Yuchen didn't care that much and ordered Wang Sisheng to set off immediately. Although Lin Hao was present, Wang Sisheng still listened to Yu Yuchen's suggestion and led his men to chase after them.

Lin Hao shook his head and said, Now that Wang Sisheng has gone to catch up, let's go back to the office and wait for news.

Yu Yuchen helplessly looked at Lin Hao and could only return to the office with him.

Yu Yuchen, who was sitting on the chair, was puzzled by Lin Hao's actions today. She asked, Normally, when someone is taken away, you would argue and argue to rescue them. What happened to you today? I feel like you're not paying attention at all, or is it because Ling Qiuyan isn't someone important that you're acting like this?"

Lin Hao smiled and explained, Nothing like that. Think about it, why did Gu Yuan suddenly turn to John and kidnap Ling Qiuyan?

Yu Yuchen thought for a while and said, Needless to say, you saw Gu Yuan's performance at the family dinner the other day. His dissatisfaction towards everyone was revealed in his words. It's reasonable for him to do such an outrageous thing.

Lin Hao shook his finger: I don't think so. It's a fact that Gu Yuan is dissatisfied with us, but if he sold himself to John, I believe he wouldn't be able to do such a thing.

Yu Yuchen looked at Lin Hao doubtfully, Do you mean that Gu Yuan did that on purpose?

Lin Hao nodded and told Yu Yuchen the story that Loong Xiu had discovered that night. As if Yu Yuchen had just woken up from a dream, her hatred towards Wu Tie was greatly reduced.

I didn't think that Gu Yuan would make such a huge sacrifice in order to get the information. It seems like I was wrong about him.

Yeah, I never thought of that. At the beginning, I was still suspicious and thought that Gu Yuan was just putting on an act. However, from Gu Yuan's actions just now, I was able to determine his intentions.

What do you mean?

"Think about it, if you were Gu Yuan, when both you and I are not in the building, it would be the best time to make a move, so you could definitely use a reason to invite Ling Qiuyan out and secretly take her away. However, Gu Yuan didn't do that and instead kidnapped Ling Qiuyan with great fanfare, as if he was telling everyone that I, Gu Yuan, had pledged allegiance to John.

Listening to Lin Hao's logical analysis, Yu Yuchen gradually understood Gu Yuan's good intentions, You're right. This way, not only will John's suspicions towards himself be dispelled, but we have also successfully drawn a clear line between us. This Gu Yuan's IQ isn't low either.

Lin Hao laughed, You have never looked up to Gu Yuan, so for him to do such an outrageous thing, you will naturally misunderstand his intentions. Fortunately, I'm by your side.

Yu Yuchen glared at him and said, Although we know about Gu Yuan's plans, I'm still worried about Ling Qiuyan's safety. She's in the enemy's camp right now, so if something really happens, I'll regret it for a long time.

Lin Hao said confidently, Ling Qiuyan won't be in any danger for now.

Why do you say that?

Ling Qiuyan is just a woman and doesn't pose much of a threat to John. I think that John would ask Karl to kidnap Ling Qiuyan because of Karl, and the reason might very well be because he lost face due to the previous stock issue. In order to protect his own dignity, he still has to resort to some necessary means.

Yu Yuchen became even more worried. Then based on what you said, doesn't that mean Ling Qiuyan will suffer physical pain?

I don't think so. Remember what happened to Gao's vice president? It can be seen how capable Ling Qiuyan is, but now, it is the same. Although Karl views her as a thorn in his side now, I believe Ling Qiuyan will use her own methods to protect herself.

After listening to Lin Hao's judgement, Yu Yuchen's breathing calmed down, Now that Ling Qiuyan has also been captured, if Karl is taking advantage of some loophole, I probably wouldn't be able to react in time, and now that Goldfinch doesn't have any extra manpower, Ling Qiuyan has also been captured, and Liu Tie is also deep into the enemy camp. Now that things are difficult, what should we do?

Hearing Yu Yuchen's words, Lin Hao's confidence decreased a lot. He didn't expect his situation to be so worrisome, especially since it was his worst business war.

Lin Hao said, In order to ensure the smooth progress of Gu Yuan at John's side, I've decided to act out a show.

What show?

Lin Hao said with a smile, Of course it's to make sure Gu Yuan will never be able to go home.

Not long after, Wang Sisheng brought the security guards covered in filth to Yu Yuchen's office.

Looking at the dejected Wang Sisheng, Yu Yuchen asked, I'm asking you to chase them, not to run them. How did you become like this?

Wang Sisheng and the others looked at each other, lowered their heads, and said in shame, President Yu, we did catch up quite smoothly in the beginning, but we didn't expect that John and the others would end up taking us around the mountain road. Plus, our driving skills aren't that good, so we lost them and came back after a few turns.

At this moment, Yu Yuchen remembered Lin Hao's words to stop her. She felt a little embarrassed and quickly said, Take the security guards to take a shower. This time, I will give the people who are on duty an extra overtime.

When they heard the overtime pay, Wang Sisheng and the others smiled. After saying their goodbyes, they left the office.

Yu Yuchen looked at Lin Hao, who didn't seem to be amused, If you laugh, then I won't give you a salary this month!

Lin Hao spread his hands and said, Now that I'm with a rich woman, even if I don't get a salary in my entire life, I still believe that I have money to spend.

Didn't you say that you won't let Gu Yuan go home? What are you going to do?

Lin Hao looked at the time and noticed that it was almost time for dinner. He picked up his clothes and said, This is just the right time. Let's go. It's time for us to go to the Gu family for more people.

You want people?

With questions all over her mind, Yu Yuchen let Lin Hao get on the car and the two of them drove back to the Gu family.

When Father Gu saw Yu Yuchen and Lin Hao arrive, he invited them into the room and ordered them to prepare dinner.

Seeing how enthusiastic Father Gu was, Yu Yuchen found it difficult to keep her mouth open. She could only say some insignificant things.

Looking at Leelee's hesitant appearance, the old man could guess that the two of them had something to discuss here. He went straight to the point, Sofia, Andelu, if you two have something to say, just say it.

Yu Yuchen and Lin Hao looked at each other and said with difficulty, Uncle Gu, the two of us do have something to do here, but I hope you won't be angry after hearing it. Everything is more important to your health.

Did that brat Gu Yuan do something wrong again?

Seeing that Yu Yuchen couldn't open her mouth, Lin Hao said, Uncle Gu, the thing is like this, Gu Yuan kidnapped a director in Tianyu Group today, and the person who came to help Gu Yuan is called John, so I suspect that Gu Yuan and John have reached a consensus and are ready to attack us at any time. Tonight, the two of us presumptuously came here to warn Uncle Gu, so we must be careful of Gu Yuan's every move right now.

Father Gu was just as he thought. When he heard that Gu Yuan and John were working together, he flew into a rage. I didn't expect Gu Yuan to be able to do such ungrateful things. He really didn't let me raise him for nothing!

Seeing that her father was furious, Yu Yuchen hurried forward to comfort him. She glanced at Lin Hao, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction, as if she was blaming Lin Hao for his actions.

At this time, Gouzi was suffering greatly in his heart. Listening to Lin Hao's and Gu's prejudice towards Gu Yuan, he really wanted to tell everyone about the tracking device, but when he thought about Gu Yuan's good intentions, he gave up and gloomily stood to the side.

CHAPTER 704 - FACIOCAL CARR

After a while, Father Gu calmed down a little, and Yu Yuchen and Lin Hao left in peace. When they left, Father Gu in Yu Yuchen's eyes had long since lost his domineering aura, and there was only endless disappointment and despair, as well as the disappointment of having his son become a dragon.

Even though the car had already started, Father Gu still stood in the wind and did not leave for a long time. Yu Yuchen knew in her heart that Gu Yuan's actions had dealt a great blow to Father Gu, making it impossible for him to recover.

Seated in the car, Yu Yuchen was a little regretful that she had come to look for her father. She said, I didn't expect that Gu Yuan's incident would cause so much harm to Uncle Gu.

Lin Hao also felt guilty, but he didn't care too much about it in order to let the plan proceed smoothly. We are doing this because we have no choice. I believe that when the truth is revealed, Uncle Gu will be proud of Gu Yuan.

Yu Yuchen nodded, Now that we have suffered heavy losses, what should we do?

Lin Hao guessed: Currently, Gu Yuan has already rebelled, so I believe that the matter regarding Goldfinch will also progress. We should wait for news from that side.

Yu Yuchen nodded. That's all we can do now. Let's go.

Lin Hao stepped off the pedal and drove Yu Yuchen towards the mansion.

Gu Yuan looked at John and said, I didn't expect that your movements would be so fast. I just gave you guys the information and you guys came to pick me up from the Tianyu Group. I'm quite surprised.

John, who was sitting in the first passenger seat, said, The famous Young Master Gu sent us a message, how could we neglect him?

Gu Yuan smiled, You guys came at the right time. If you came a little later, I'm afraid I would have been taken by Lin Hao.

No matter what, Young Master Gu has passed the test and successfully became one of us. Now, I will bring you to see Mr Karl.

The closer they got to Karl, the more nervous Gu Yuan became because not only would they directly arrive at the address of John and the others, but now that Gu Yuan had completed his final goal of entering the enemy's camp, what he needed to do now was to get the information of John and the others and notify Gouzi.

Looking at the huge mansion, Gu Yuan was also a bit amazed. The security of the villa was no less than his own home, although the place he lived was a little remote, but for John and the others, it was just right and proper. No wonder it was harder than ascending to heaven to find a place for John and the others to live.

Seeing Gu Yuan standing there in a daze, John asked, Young Master Gu, what's wrong with you?

John's question brought Gu Yuan back from his thoughts. Gu Yuan smiled and said, Nothing, I just didn't expect that you would choose to stay here. No wonder Lin Hao and the others have no clue about your residence.

John smiled and said, Although the location of this villa is a little remote, it is just right for us. Not only that, when we bought this villa, we saved a lot of money, so it can't be any better to use it as our temporary residence. However, compared to Young Master Gu's home, it is still a bit unsatisfactory.

Gu Yuan waved his hand and said nonchalantly, These are not the problem. Since I have chosen to rely on you, the consequences have already been decided. The suffering is nothing at all. As long as Lin Hao and the others are eliminated, I will be satisfied.

John was quite satisfied with Gu Yuan's words. He stretched out his hand and said, Young Master Gu, please come this way. I will take you guys to see Mr Karl now.

Gu Yuan didn't hold back and followed behind John towards the mansion.

Andelu had been waiting for a long time. Seeing John bringing back Gu Yuan and an unfamiliar woman, he guessed her true identity and walked down personally.

John said politely, Mr Karl, I've brought Young Master Gu and Ling Qiuyan.

Karl nodded. Actually, Karl didn't have much interest in whether Gu Yuan would come and seek help. His goal was to punish Ling Qiuyan. In order to take into account John's face, Karl inevitably greeted Gu Yuan.

Karl put the cigar in his hand on the table and stretched out his hand, Hello, Young Master Gu. My name is Karl.

This was the first time Gu Yuan met Karl's real body. The impression Karl gave Gu Yuan was that of a wise man, worthy of the title Economic Storm.

Gu Yuan held the hand that held the Andelu and said, I have long heard of Jack's fame. Seeing that he's really extraordinary today, it seems that I still need Jack to teach me about economics when I have time.

Karl laughed, I'm just at the initial stage. I've never heard of it being so powerful. Young Master Gu, please excuse me.

Karl walked to Ling Qiuyan's side and said, So you're Ling Qiuyan?

Ling Qiuyan said without changing her expression, Mr Karl, I didn't think that a weak girl like me would see through your scheme, right? However, Mr Karl was also out of my expectations for certain things, such as kidnapping an unknown woman like me.

Ling Qiuyan's words successfully angered Karl. Karl said angrily, I advise you to be more honest. You're in my hands now. If you make me unhappy with another sentence, I'll kill you!

Ling Qiuyan turned a deaf ear to Karl's threats and walked directly to Karl's ear. Wu Tie and the others thought that Ling Qiuyan was playing some tricks, but they were stopped by Karl's hand gesture just as they were about to go forward to protect her.

Ling Qiuyan whispered, Mr Karl, don't think that I don't know what you're thinking right now. I'm sure you want to kill me. But have you thought about it? If I die, do you think you'll still have something to eat?

What do you mean?

Your master should know that I have seen through your stock, so he will definitely notice me. If you make a move on me at this time, I believe you will soon be persecuted as well.

If I don't get rid of you, sooner or later you will take my place. By then, only death awaits me.

Ling Qiuyan laughed, Mr Karl, why are you so silly? You captured me to get rid of me, and they want to capture me to nurture me, and then replace you, I have a method that is perfect for both sides, and during this period of time, I will hide my ability, pretend to be useless, and believe that you will grow interested in me, and then throw me away. If that happens, not only will you keep your position, I will also leave peacefully.

Ling Qiuyan's idea successfully aroused Karl's interest. Aren't you afraid that we will take care of you secretly when you leave this place?

It's not too late to talk about this later. I'd like to know your answer right now.

Karl stood where he was and pondered over Ling Qiuyan's words. Finally, he said, Okay, we will follow your plan. But in order to make the matter more realistic, I need to make you suffer a little.

With that, Karl threw a heavy punch at Ling Qiuyan's abdomen. Ling Qiuyan couldn't bear the pain any longer and took a few steps back.

Karl flew into a rage: I have received a lot of fame, but now I have fallen into your hands. If this gets out, where will I put my face? I think it would be better to let you stay here forever!

Compared to Karl's current actions, no one cared about the conversation between Ling Qiuyan and Karl. Only John had a strong feeling towards Karl and Ling Qiuyan's words.

Watching Ling Qiuyan being ruthlessly beaten by Karl, Gu Yuan suppressed his anger and stood aside silently. He clenched his fists tightly. This feeling of helplessness made him feel extremely painful.

Another punch came. Although Karl was an economist, his strength was not to be underestimated. This time, he directly knocked Ling Qiuyan to the ground. Ling Qiuyan also vomited a mouthful of blood due to her heavy injuries.

John, who was standing by the side, was afraid that there would be more deaths, so he immediately stepped forward and pressed Andelu's fist and said, Jack, Leelee, you've already taught me a lesson. I think we should just let this go.

Karl looked at John suspiciously, What do you mean? If we let Ling Qiuyan live, it's very likely that we'll meet some economic opponents. In my opinion, we should settle this as soon as possible, so as to not cause too much trouble!"

John was now burdened with the problem of protecting Ling Qiuyan. Against Karl's overbearing attitude, John had no way of telling what Xu Jie had said to Karl and could only say it from other aspects.

Mr Karl, now that Ling Qiuyan has already been captured by us, I will make Liu Xin and the rest take good care of her. Mr Karl, now that Ling Qiuyan has already been captured, I will make Liu Xin and the rest take good care of them.

Seeing that John insisted on his opinion, in addition to the agreement between him and Ling Qiuyan, Karl gave him a favor.

Since Mr John has already said so, we will do as you say. Remember, you must not let Ling Qiuyan escape.

Karl's reaction made John suspicious, but fortunately, Karl still agreed to his request.

Mr Karl, don't worry. If Ling Qiuyan runs away, I will definitely take full responsibility.

Karl wiped his hands and said, Alright, I'm a bit tired too. I'm going to rest first. You guys can take care of these things.

With that, Karl took off his glasses, placed them on the table, and walked up the stairs towards his bedroom.

John instructed, Liu Xin, Wang Rui, you two have worked hard recently. Take good care of Miss Ling. Han Mu, arrange a bedroom for Young Master Gu.

The three of them replied and went to do their own business.

Seeing that Ling Qiuyan only suffered physical pain, Gu Yuan's worried heart finally calmed down. If Ling Qiuyan really had an accident, he would feel bad about it.

CHAPTER 705 - A NEW ROUND OF COMPETITION

John looked at Gu Yuan and said, Young Master Gu, you're tired too. I'll take you to your bedroom now to have a rest.

Gu Yuan didn't shirk away, a series of mental pressure was placed on his back. Gu Yuan also felt a little tired, so they went upstairs together into the bedroom Han Mu had arranged beforehand.

Thinking about Ling Qiuyan's condition, Gu Yuan felt uneasy. He kept tossing and turning in his bed, and even though he had successfully snuck into the enemy camp, he was still a little worried about his safety, so he couldn't fall asleep for a short period of time.

When Lin Hao escorted Yu Yuchen home, he found Lin Ming and the others already waiting at the door.

Seeing Tang Wan and the other two arrive, Yu Yuchen got off the car hurriedly, took out her keys, opened the door, and the five of them walked in together.

Lin Hao asked, Why are you in such a hurry? Looks like something happened on your side.

Lin Ming revealed a troubled expression, Since everyone is here, I won't hide it from you all. Now I have received the exact information that Zhang Shi has betrayed us and that Ann Xu agreed to Zhang Shi's request and volunteered to take on the position of double agent.

Lin Hao laughed, Actually, the situation on our side is more or less the same. Gu Yuan not only went over to John, but also kidnapped Ling Qiuyan. Now, we have suffered heavy losses.

Compared to Lin Ming's, Lin Hao's news was like the difference between heaven and earth.

Tang Wan also said in surprise, What did you say? Gu Yuan went over to John's group?

Yu Yuchen nodded her head in agreement.

Hee Lu flew into a rage and shouted harshly, I already knew Gu Yuan was a person who acted according to the wind. Hee Lu was furious, she yelled harshly, I already knew Gu Yuan was a person who took the wind by acting according to the wind.

Lin Hao held a different point of view and said, Although Gu Yuan has joined John, I have a feeling that this will not be so simple.

Lin Ming and the other two asked at the same time, What do you mean?

Lin Hao told the three of them about Loong Xiu's tracking and what happened at Tianyu Group during the day. After the three of them heard this, they came to a realization.

Tang Wan analyzed, According to what you said, it's very likely that Gu Yuan faked to go with John to prove his ability, and his real purpose is to pass on the information to us.

After listening to Lin Hao's words, Hee Lu realized that she had misunderstood Gu Yuan. She looked a little embarrassed, I didn't expect that Gu Yuan would carry so many misunderstandings and resolutely go deep into the heart of John and the others. It really makes people look at him in a new light.

Lin Ming was a bit worried. Even if Gu Yuan went to John for us, you guys have seen John's strength, I don't think Gu Yuan will have a good time over there either. From the kidnapping of Ling Qiuyan, you can tell that it's very possible that John ordered him to do it in order to test Gu Yuan. Even if Gu Yuan got the latest information, it would still be a problem for him to pass it on to us.

Lin Ming's words hit the nail on the head, causing the fire of hope in everyone's hearts to drop.

Lin Hao said confidently, We don't need to worry about this. Since Gu Yuan already has this realization, he will probably think of what happens next. Luckily, we have spies with John, so the situation is slowly getting closer to our side.

Lin Ming, the situation on your side is more difficult now, you can't get out of it, I'm worried that Zhou Luo will find it difficult to fight against Zhang Shi and Ann Xu alone. If we send outsiders into Goldfinch to interfere, it will be easy to turn the tables, and we will only let Zhang Shi reap the rewards.

Even though Zhou Luo had been protected by me for so long, I believe that she can definitely resolve the Goldfinch issue this time around. Now that we are seriously lacking in manpower, I believe that Karl will definitely not let go of such a great opportunity. We should be cautious.

Lin Hao said, Lin Ming's words are very reasonable. Now that Ling Qiuyan has been kidnapped, Zhang Shi, Xu An, and Gu Yuan have all pledged allegiance to John. Karl will definitely take action. It's best for everyone to be careful in this period of time so as to avoid any more accidents.

Everyone nodded, and Lin Ming protected Tang Wan and Hee Lu as they left the Yu Family.

For Yu Yuchen's safety, since the arrival of John and the others, Lin Hao had always been sleeping at Yu Yuchen's house, and today was no exception.

Yu Yuchen, who was wearing a gauze nightgown, said seductively, Minister Lin, don't you want to protect me close to your body?

Seeing Yu Yuchen's mesmerizing look, Lin Hao also lost his ability to resist. Thinking about the current situation, his heart instantly turned cold.

My President Yu, what time is this? You still have the time to joke with me? I advise you to rest well, for these few days are destined to not be peaceful.

Wu LI giggled. She looked at Lin Hao, who was curled up on the sofa, and said, Then Minister Lin will continue to mess with you on the sofa. Don't blame me for not giving you benefits.

Lin Hao smiled and covered himself with the clothes. He closed his eyes and started to rest.

Yu Yuchen looked at Lin Hao with a satisfied expression and whispered, You did well. If you had really agreed, I wouldn't have let you succeed.

After saying that, he turned around and walked to the second floor, returning to his bedroom.

As the night went on, the sleepy Karl walked out of the room and went to the refrigerator to get a drink. As soon as he came out of the bedroom, he saw a person sitting on the sofa with something in his hands, reflecting a unique light under the moonlight.

Aware that someone was coming, John quickly put away the chain and pretended to admire the moonlight as he looked out the window.

Karl smiled, This is the first time I've seen someone appreciate the moonlight sitting in a room.

John smiled awkwardly, Mr Karl, you don't have a sense of humor at all.

Karl opened the refrigerator and took out two cans of beer. He handed one to John and said, What, you're thinking of Snowy again?

John took out the pendant without any hesitation, Yeah, now I can only think about it with the token she gave me.

Karl persuaded, John, it's not that I'm talking about you, Xiao Xue has been gone for almost five years. In these five years, you've never cared about matters of the heart and have only focused on your career. I'm worried that you'll still be alone in the end.

John didn't seem to mind and said, Mr Karl, I only know that you're an economist. Since when did you become a relationship consultant?

Karl smiled amiably and said, Don't mock me, I just don't want you to be stuck in this mess forever.

John put away the chain, looked at Karl and said, Don't talk about me, it's already so late, don't you want to go up to sleep?

Karl shook his head: "Originally, I just wanted to go downstairs to get a bottle of beer, but when I saw you sitting here, I took the beer. In the time I had to talk to you, my sleepiness had completely vanished.

John said innocently, From what you're saying, you're going to use me as a scapegoat?

Not at all. It's already so late, aren't you going to rest?

John shook his head, I don't know how many nights like this have passed. My biological clock is now in complete chaos and I don't have a fixed working time. Otherwise, I wouldn't be sitting here in a daze in the middle of the night.

If that's the case, why don't we discuss our next plan?

As the Andelu got to the point, John' expression became serious, Jack, please speak.

Now that Gu Yuan, Zhang Shi and the others have joined our side and Ling Qiuyan is in our hands, this is a great opportunity for us. In order to avoid another tragedy like the one before, I need you to plan an assassination.

This bold idea made John's eyes light up. Mr Karl, are you sure you want to do this? Who are you trying to kill?

Yu Yuchen.

Karl blurted out. Although the death of our little master has a great relationship with Lin Hao, it's not hard to see that Lin Hao did it for Yu Yuchen's benefit. If that's the case, of course we'll have to choose the softest one, such as Yu Yuchen.

Mr Karl, you should know that Lin Hao is almost always by Yu Yuchen's side. Talking about assassination is easier said than done.

Of course I know that, don't misunderstand my meaning. I'm not asking you to take action personally, I'm only doing this for the sake of pretending to attack next, to interfere with Lin Hao's line of sight. It doesn't matter if the assassination will succeed or not.

Mr Karlson gradually understood the meaning of Andelu's words, I understand Jack' intention now. It just so happens that Zhang Shi has just come over to us, so we'll leave this matter to him to handle.

I don't need to interfere too much in order to let whoever is in charge to believe that you have a plan in mind. What I want is just the result.

With that, Karl left John's field of vision and walked towards the bedroom.

After his conversation with Karl just now, John felt that Karl wasn't as unforgivable as he had imagined.

Mr Karl.

Hearing John's call for him, Karl stopped and looked at John. What's wrong?

Mr Karl, thank you for the persuasion just now.

Karl was relieved to see that it was John who had thanked him for what he had done. What is there to thank you for? We are all on the same side.

"Mr Karl, there are some things that are not as simple
