Shen Yao, watching Xia Qingtian catch up with Erya and Xia Shang, pursed her red lips unwillingly. Noticing Mr. Gu was still beside her, Shen Yao raised her hand, tucked her hair behind her ear, and said with a light smile, "Aren't you going after the beauty, Mr. Gu?"
"No matter, there's something I want to confirm with you," Mr. Gu said, looking at Shen Yao.
"Oh? What is it?" Shen Yao blinked her large eyes, her exquisite makeup accentuating her features, making them more profound and captivating.
"I've heard that Gou Wen never sends gifts to living people," Mr. Gu's gaze was heavy. "Are you planning to make a move against Xia Qingtian?"
Upon hearing Mr. Gu's words, Shen Yao raised her hand to cover her lips and chuckled lightly. "I've long heard that Mr. Gu knows everything. I thought it was just superstitious gossip, but I didn't expect Mr. Gu to know so much."
"So, you have indeed set your sights on Xia Qingtian. The killer in the mirror maze, was that your person?" Mr. Gu asked.
"Mr. Gu, there's always an exception to everything," Shen Yao smiled charmingly at Mr. Gu. "I sincerely hope Xia Qingtian becomes that exception."
If Xia Qingtian's life was robust enough.
"Furthermore, I'm not the type to pick up a rock only to drop it on my own foot," Shen Yao shrugged. "This Gou Wen Feng Qing Lou was created by me. Even if I wanted to kill someone, I wouldn't do it on my own turf and ruin my own reputation.
Besides, I'm more interested in you, Mr. Gu, than in Xia Qingtian."
"Oh?" Mr. Gu asked directly. "I'm nothing more than a businessman, what makes Gou Wen interested in me?"
"You don't need to be so modest, Mr. Gu," Shen Yao extended her fair jade hand, her fingertips lightly touching Mr. Gu's chest. "You, yourself, are very much to my liking."
"Then you might be disappointed," Mr. Gu said, pushing Shen Yao's hand away. "I'm a very picky eater."
"Then I truly envy Xia Qingtian," Shen Yao did not feel disappointed by Mr. Gu's rejection. Instead, she slipped a black business card into the breast pocket of Mr. Gu's suit. "Mr. Gu, whenever you want to try something new, feel free to contact me. In our Gou Wen Feng Qing Lou, we have no shortage of beauties."
After saying this, Shen Yao stroked Mr. Gu's shoulder, adding a meaningful emphasis to the pressure of her palm, and then swayed away.
Mr. Gu watched Shen Yao's retreating back, his gaze deepening.
It seemed he really needed to bring Xia Qingtian back to Z City as soon as possible.
He really couldn't figure out how someone like Gou Wen had set their sights on Xia Qingtian. Could it be because of that mine?
Before Mr. Gu could fully comprehend, he heard Xia Qingtian calling him: "Gu Yaoyang, what are you dawdling over there for?"
Hearing Xia Qingtian call his name, Gu Yaoyang's lips curled up subconsciously, revealing a faint smile as he walked over.
Standing in the shadows, watching Gu Yaoyang and Xia Qingtian walk away side by side, Shen Yao's gaze deepened.
A cruel smile touched her lips, and she turned to leave.
She figured that after tonight, Gu Yaoyang would have to change his tastes, no matter how picky he was.
After all, with the Miao family making a move, Xia Qingtian was sure to die!
At this moment, a voice from a staff member came through Shen Yao's internal receiver. It turned out that Uncle Yu Er was unwilling to accept one failure and asked Shen Yao to create another opportunity for him. He planned to bring people to directly eliminate Xia Qingtian on the spot.
This time, no matter how powerful Xia Qingtian was, she wouldn't be able to escape his direct attack with armed men.
"Insane." Shen Yao frowned displeasantly. She had already given Uncle Yu Er a chance by turning a blind eye before.
It was Uncle Yu Er, this useless fool, who couldn't seize the opportunity, not only causing her so much trouble but also daring to propose firing guns directly in her Gou Wen Feng Qing Lou.
Was this not madness!
"Tell him to scram," Shen Yao said irritably. "Failing to grasp the opportunity is his own problem. Tell him to leave Gou Wen Feng Qing Lou immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Anyway, with the Miao family already making a move, Uncle Yu Er, this useless fellow, was no longer needed.
To be precise, the entire Yu family had no more use.
Thinking of this, Shen Yao turned off her internal communication device and headed straight for her top-floor office. After activating the anti-reconnaissance signal jamming device, she opened her phone and dialed a number in her contact list: "The Yu family has no more use. Are there any of our people left in the Yu family?"
"There's one more, [Lilian], her current identity is the long-lost daughter of the Yu family, [Yu Zixuan]," the other party replied. "Later, she will marry into the Yue family through a marriage alliance."
"The Yue family?" Shen Yao was silent for a moment before saying, "The Yue family still has some value for now. Protect her first, and don't touch the Yu family. But this pawn, Uncle Yu Er, should be completely abandoned."
"Yes." After learning that the fool Yu Yueqiang had been captured, they had already prepared to abandon the Yu Yueqiang and even the Uncle Yu Er line.
"I saw Mr. Gu today. Next, I want to merge Yu Linwan's Wan Qing Entertainment with our current Qi Meng Entertainment Company in L City, and have Yu Linwan directly cooperate with Song Junhan to formulate a cooperation plan specifically targeting Gu's Entertainment," Shen Yao said while flipping through the documents on the desk.
"Okay, I'll report it upwards."
"Mm," Shen Yao narrowed her eyes slightly. Although she couldn't leave the capital for the time being, she had many chess pieces outside. As long as she utilized them effectively, there was nothing she couldn't accomplish. "Also, has the master's itinerary been confirmed? When will he arrive in the capital?"
"Due to problems with new energy research, the master will not return to Country Z for the time being. His return time is yet to be determined. The one who will visit on behalf of the master this time is the young master," the person on the other end of the phone said. "The young master will arrive in Z City next week."
"Z City?" Hearing this city, Shen Yao was also stunned. "Not the capital?"
"No," the person on the other end of the phone said. "This time, the young master specifically requested to go to Z City."
"Alright, I know. I'll arrange for the reception," Shen Yao took a deep breath and turned the document in her hand to the page of [Song Junhan].
Shen Yao narrowed her eyes slightly.
This time, she was giving Song Junhan an opportunity to climb higher for free, and she hoped he would seize it.
On the other side, Uncle Yu Er, who heard that Shen Yao not only wouldn't help but also told him to quickly take his people away from Gou Wen Feng Qing Lou, was furious.
This was too much!
Did she not even consider who they, father and son, were working for when they took over that dark line!
Now that there was a problem, and his son had been brutally murdered, Gou Wen actually turned her back and refused to help with such a small favor!
"Bitch!" he cursed, trembling with rage, his eyes red. He had to kill that slut Xia Qingtian today, or he wouldn't be able to swallow this grievance!
That little slut had cut off his lineage, and he wanted her to die a terrible death!
"President Yu, look at that car, that's the car they arrived in!" someone with sharp eyes recognized Mr. Gu's car in the parking lot of Gou Wen Feng Qing Lou at a glance.
"Hmph, let's go take a look!" Uncle Yu Er commanded coldly.
