Chapter 51: Chapter 51: If You Really Are Her 1

I looked at Ding Yinuo in shock.
He hung up the phone immediately, tossing it onto the sofa.
“Don’t answer it!”
Everyone fell silent.
However, the phone started ringing again soon after.
It kept ringing.
Just like Gu Yuanzhou’s stubborn and overbearing temper.
Until it rang for the third time, I eventually picked it up.
Ding Yinuo kept signaling me with his eyes. I hushed him with a finger to my lips and walked outside with the phone.
As soon as I answered the call, I heard Gu Yuanzhou’s deep voice.
“Where are you?”
“Oh, I’m outside hanging out with some friends!”
“Get back to the company immediately!’ “President Gu, what’s the matter?”
“Emergency meeting! ‘
“Oh, alright!’
After hanging up, I gathered my bag and changed my shoes.
“l need to run!”
“Are you out of your mind? Are you just asking for trouble at this hour?” Ding Yinuo still disagreed strongly.
“l have to go! Don’t forget, I am Song Xiaoyun right now. As long as I don’t expose myself voluntarily, he won’t make a move on me. In contrast, if I stay here and avoid him, he will become suspicious.”
“Ayun, keep your phone on so we can contact you at any time. If you’re in danger, run immediately.”
“l know, I’m not a fool.’
Jiang Jing and Wenya hugged me in turn.
It was only Ding Yinuo who stayed cold, standing far off silently watching us.
However, when I left, he brought out the Lamborghini.
“I’ll drive you there!”
“Are you trying to make it obvious to Gu Yuanzhou that I’ve been hanging out with his enemy by using such a flashy car?”
“Can’t you just get off a block early?”
“Fine! ”
The mansions in Xishan are secluded, and it’s almost impossible to hail a cab here, especially since the buses have stopped running at this hour.
It seems getting in his car was the best option.
After getting in the car, he didn’t say much and just started driving.
We sped along.
Half an hour later, he parked in the underground parking lot of the building next to the Zhenyi Company.
As I opened the car door to get out, he called me,
“I’ll be waiting here, call me if anything happens.”
“Understood! ”
I slammed the car door shut and turned to leave.
Upon entering the company, 1 didn’t sense any impending crisis.
However, when 1 entered Gu Yuanzhou’s office, I found that Annie had beaten me there and was talking to Gu Yuanzhou.
As soon as I entered, she left with a laugh and a mysterious wave at me.
I realized something was off.
But I couldn’t put my finger on exactly what was wrong.
Gu Yuanzhou was smoking. Seeing me, he didn’t ask any unnecessary questions but simply stood up.
“Come on, let’s go to the meeting!’
“President Gu, it’s eight in the evening!’
It was not just after work hours but also unprecedented to have a meeting at this hour.
Gu Yuanzhou, while packing his briefcase, just glanced at me and said,
“Be ready to take notes!”
“Alright! ‘
I couldn’t read any emotion from Gu Yuanzhou’s gaze.
On our way to the meeting room, I noticed Annie secretly making a phone call.
A few minutes later, the meeting officially began.
All senior company executives were present.
The meeting wasn’t long. Gu Yuanzhou had arranged the work for the week very properly.
As soon as the meeting finished, Annie hurried in and whispered something to Gu Yuanzhou. I was standing nearby and heard everything quite clearly.
She said, “There are police officers waiting in your office.” Gu Yuanzhou nodded calmly and turned to leave.
From beginning to end, he did not show any signs of panic.
Calm, collected, as if whatever was about to happen had nothing to do with him.
By the time I rushed to the CEO’s office, two police officers were leaving with
Gu Yuanzhou.
All the other colleagues were shocked.
When 1 saw Gu Yuanzhou’s silhouette disappearing into the elevator, everyone started talking.
“President Gu has been taken by the police. What on earth has he done?”
“Did he commit tax evasion or something?”
No sooner had the words left the speaker’s mouth than the lady from the finance department came out to object,
“Don’t jump to conclusions! We have never evaded taxes.”
At this point, Annie purposefully walked over to me and said,
“Song Xiaoyun, as the CEO’s assistant, tell us what kind of trouble President Gu is facing.”
Knowing that Annie was hiding her phone behind her back, probably recording the conversation secretly, I decided not to give her any excuse to use against me. Addressing everyone, I said,
“Everyone, stop speculating. Go home and rest. President Gu will be fine. He’ll be back tomorrow.”
Soon, everyone dispersed.
Annie glanced at me with a bizarre smile plastered on her face.
I didn’t bother dealing with her anymore. After packing my things, I just left work.
I was about to go home when I remembered that Ding Yinuo said he would wait for me in the underground parking lot.
So I headed to the basement parking lot of the neighboring building.
Sure enough, he was still there!
When 1 got into the car, he was still on the phone with Su Peisheng, seemingly inquiring about the situation.
After hanging up, he looked at me.
“Did he suspect you?”
1 shook my head, fastening my seatbelt,
“No! He was taken away by the police, Wu Jun must have confessed, right?”
After all, with three lives at stake, if Wu Jun didn’t want to die, he would have to tell the truth.
Ding Yinuo hesitated for a moment before saying calmly,
“They didn’t use handcuffs!” “What does that mean?”
Ding Yinuo put out his cigarette,
“l just asked Su Peisheng. He said if it was a criminal offense and they were detaining him, they would use handcuffs.”
I recalled that when Wu Jun was taken away by the police, he was indeed handcuffed, but Gu Yuanzhou wasn’t earlier.
“So what does that mean?”
“Su Peisheng said, it might only be helping with an investigation!”
“Helping with an investigation, what does that mean?”
“It means, he’s not the murderer, in fact, he might not even be a suspect.”
“That’s impossible! Is Wu Jun lying to us?”
Ding Yinuo started the car,
“Don’t worry! We can wait for the results.”
I began to feel agitated again!
I wished the law would deal with Gu Yuanzhou as soon as possible.
“How could that be? What exactly is he up to?”
I couldn’t imagine how Gu Yuanzhou managed to evade punishment…
However, when I calmed down, I noticed the car was not heading towards my rented apartment.
Instead, we were headed back to the 168th villa in Xishan.
“Ding Yinuo, take me home first!”
“For next few days, you’ll be staying in Xishan Villa. Don’t go anywhere else!” He didn’t even bother to discuss it with me. He was so bossy.
“No way, I need to go back. All my clothes are there. I won’t go to your place…”
I was still feeling agitated, as if I had pent-up emotions that needed to be released.
Ding Yinuo said slowly and patiently, “Until Gu Yuanzhou is sentenced to death, you are my responsibility!”
“Ding Yinuo, this is none of your business!”
“Just now, Su Peisheng told me an even more important piece of information.
If you want to hear it, sit tight and stop fidgeting..”
