Originally, although Gu Anrou seemed to be in a hopeless situation, she still had Lu Chuanbai's support.
But now, Gu Anrou had even fallen out with Lu Chuanbai? What a mess.
"Anrou, you'd better make a phone call. Even if Lu Chuanbai has no good feelings for you and is angry with you, now it's the Gu family that's in trouble. If you call him to inquire about the Gu family's situation, it can also show that you're filial to the Gu family."
"As long as you stick to this point, he won't stand by and watch the family perish."
There was a glimmer of hope in Gu Anrou's eyes. "Okay, Yahan. You're so smart. No wonder you're an actress. You have so many tricks up your sleeve."
Saying that, she started to make the call.
Song Yahan: …
Well, should she be grateful for this compliment?
Was this really a compliment rather than a sarcastic remark calling her a scheming bitch?
Looking at Gu Anrou's stupid and not-so-sweet look, Song Yahan shook her head. Forget it. She was too lazy to argue with this stupid girl. After all, if she weren't stupid, how could she be so easily exploited?
On the other side, Lu Chuanbai looked at the incoming call from Gu Anrou and hesitated for a moment whether to answer it.
He had already returned to the outside of Xu Qingqing's ward and was still standing in the corridor, too afraid to go in.
Xu Yan was inside taking care of Xu Qingqing and didn't want to see the Lu brothers at all.
As for An'an and Yi Yi, Lu Fenglin had to accompany them for the time being.
Finally, he answered the call.
Gu Anrou's sobbing voice immediately came through. "Brother Chuanbai, now the Gu family is in crisis. Only you can save the Gu family. Brother Chuanbai, you were right to scold me. I know I was wrong. I don't want anything to happen to the Gu family. Brother Chuanbai, please help me, okay?"
After Gu Anrou finished her sobs, Lu Chuanbai slowly said, "The other side has a lot of evidence against the Gu family. I'm afraid it will be very difficult for the Gu family to get through this time. You can only transfer the assets as soon as possible and try to save as much as you can."
"However, Uncle Gu isn't stupid. Maybe he has other ways to deal with it. Instead of begging me here, you'd better go and accompany your father. After all, the Gu family will belong to you in the future."
"If this family business is gone, it will also be a loss for you."
Gu Anrou was in disbelief. "Brother Chuanbai, is the situation of the Gu family really that serious? Even you can't do anything? Brother Chuanbai, are you lying to me? How could this happen?"
"Brother Chuanbai, you just meant that someone is trying to deal with our Gu family, right? Who could it be? Have you found out anything on your side?"
Lu Chuanbai didn't say a word. He had indeed found out something, but it didn't mean he would help the Gu family.
Moreover, the other side was extremely wealthy, and the evidence they had was abundant. Even if he were willing to invest money to help the Gu family through this crisis now, he didn't know when this money would be recovered.
Many orders had been cancelled, which meant that all the goods were stuck in their hands. The Gu family also had other businesses. Now the hotels under the Gu family's name had been boycotted. If the Gu family's crisis wasn't resolved quickly, the monthly losses of the hotels alone would be a large amount of money.
"The information of the other side is very mysterious. I can't find out much for now. You can only ask your father if the Gu family has offended anyone recently."
"As for me, I can only guarantee that if the Gu family goes bankrupt, I will find you a suitable job so that you won't starve to death."
After saying that, Lu Chuanbai hung up the phone.
Gu Anrou was stunned.
She looked at her phone, unable to believe that these words had come from Brother Chuanbai.
What?
He would guarantee that she wouldn't starve to death?
What kind of guarantee was this?
Find her a job? Did she need a job? What she needed was money, hundreds of thousands of pocket money every month, so that she could spend it recklessly.
How could things turn out like this? If she really had to go to work, with her abilities, she might not even be able to find a job that paid ten thousand yuan a month.
It was only at this moment that Gu Anrou realized the seriousness of the situation.
Right, it was that person!
Gu Anrou got up and, avoiding Song Yahan, called the mysterious man.
"Hey, what's going on with your Gu Corporation? Why are there so many negative news reports about it? Gu Anrou, are you trying to screw me over?"
Before Gu Anrou could say a word, the other side started to scold her.
"Isn't it you who is trying to deal with our Gu family?" Gu Anrou retorted, but subconsciously felt that the other side wasn't pretending.
"What the hell? I need your Gu family. Why would I deal with it? Are you out of your mind? Hurry up and solve the problems of your Gu family. Don't drag me down."
The man said angrily, with a very bad attitude towards Gu Anrou.
"Brother Chuanbai said that our Gu family may have offended someone. Your information network should be very extensive. Can you help us find out who our family has offended?"
The man was a bit impatient.
He didn't have any powerful connections. The person who could make a move like this must be from the business world.
If he had such a wide business network, would he still need the Gu family to help him smuggle cultural relics and share the money with them?
What a stupid girl.
Now the man felt that he had made a mistake in choosing Gu Anrou.
Although this woman was stupid and easy to exploit, she was really stupid.
Gu Anrou's call was hung up. At this moment, she didn't know who to turn to.
In the ward, Xu Qingqing was checking the online revelations about the Gu Corporation with a smile on her lips.
She sent a message to Tang Li. "How's it going? Have you found any evidence that Gu Anrou tried to harm me?"
There was no need to doubt. She knew it was Gu Anrou who had done it. It was just a pity that there was no evidence.
Her intuition told her that there should be someone else behind Gu Anrou. Otherwise, with Gu Anrou's intelligence, she wouldn't have done things so perfectly.
Tang Li called her directly. Xu Qingqing answered the call.
"Qingqing, I've found out that there's a mysterious phone number that has been in frequent contact with Gu Anrou recently. But I can't lock down the identity of the person for now because this phone number wasn't registered with an ID card. However, I can find out his approximate address. I'll sort it out and send it to you in an email later."
"Also, I've found out that there were two large sums of money transferred out of Gu Anrou's account. But the other side seems to have a professional money - laundering place, so I can't find out specifically who the money was given to."
"I'm sure now that it was Gu Anrou who hurt you. But you need to note that there's a powerful group behind Gu Anrou that has been helping her."
Xu Qingqing pursed her lips slightly. "Okay, I see."
She got up and wanted to go to the toilet, but found that there was still a person standing in the corridor. Her face turned cold. She said to Xu Yan in the room, "Brother, can you get rid of this annoying person?"
Xu Yan got up and walked towards the corridor. Seeing Lu Chuanbai still standing there against the wall, Xu Yan felt a bit complicated.
His sister had suffered because of these two brothers. But now seeing Lu Chuanbai like this, it was hard to say that he didn't have some sincerity.
