"This Hou Bing is no ordinary man!"
After sending Hou Bing away from the police station, Zhou Dong turned to Wan Yunting and Pang Yuan and said, "His psychological resilience is extremely strong. Without evidence, there's nothing we can do with him."
Wan Yunting frowned and said, "Let's summon my eldest sister tomorrow to ask her about it!"
Pang Yuan and Zhou Dong, along with Niu Qiuling, were taken aback. Wan Yunting glanced at them and turned to leave.
Leaving the three of them exchanging bewildered glances, Niu Qiuling quickly followed him out of the police station and drove back. "You don't seriously suspect that your eldest sister and that Hou Bing did it, do you?"
Wan Yunting, driving, was expressionless and did not reply.
"Alright."
Niu Qiuling could imagine his current mood, so she didn't press further.
Upon returning home, Wan Yunting, holding his clothes, suddenly said to Niu Qiuling, "When you question my eldest sister tomorrow, let me know immediately if there are any issues."
Niu Qiuling was startled. "Aren't you going?"
Wan Yunting shook his head and went in to take a shower...
The next morning, after his morning run, Wan Yunting brought Niu Qiuling some breakfast and then headed directly to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department.
A short while later, Guo Liang arrived with Guo Kainen. After Wan Yunting treated him, he asked Guo Liang, "Mr. Guo, when will that Gao Jiaming arrive in Huadu?"
"He'll be here by noon."
Guo Liang had his assistant wheel Guo Kainen out first and then said to Wan Yunting, "Why don't you come with me to meet Gao Jiaming directly?"
Wan Yunting shook his head. "I'd rather not meet him directly. Just find a suitable place, and I'll watch from the side. At the same time, you can inquire about Gao Zhe's situation!"
"I understand."
Guo Liang nodded, knowing that Wan Yunting wanted to find out Gao Zhe's current condition from Gao Jiaming!
During the lunch break, Wan Yunting received a call from Guo Liang, who said he had picked up Gao Jiaming and they were having lunch at a restaurant, asking him to come over now.
Coincidentally, Su Ke'er arrived. Wan Yunting pulled her along and they headed directly to the restaurant called Bogao, a rather upscale star-rated restaurant.
"Brother Yunting, are you alright?"
Seeing Wan Yunting bringing her to such a high-class restaurant, Su Ke'er asked curiously, "Why are we eating in such an expensive place?"
"I haven't been here before, so I thought we could try it," Wan Yunting said with a smile, naturally not revealing his purpose for being there.
He pulled Su Ke'er into the restaurant, and following Guo Liang's instructions, Wan Yunting went directly to the second floor. He immediately saw Guo Liang sitting across from a man in a suit and tie at a table by the window, discussing cooperation.
So, Wan Yunting pulled Su Ke'er to a table one seat away from Guo Liang's and ordered a few of the restaurant's popular dishes with the menu.
Su Ke'er was happy and giggled, "Brother Yunting, are you going to give me a surprise?"
However, Wan Yunting's attention was entirely on Guo Liang and the others opposite him. Gao Jiaming was making eye contact with him, which allowed Wan Yunting to read his words from his lip movements. They were currently discussing work matters.
"Brother Yunting, what are you looking at?"
Seeing his unusual behavior, Su Ke'er also turned to look at the seat behind him. When she saw Gao Jiaming, she felt he looked familiar...
At that moment, a young man dressed in branded casual wear and wearing sunglasses walked up. He walked directly towards Guo Liang and Gao Jiaming, but as soon as Su Ke'er saw him, her expression became panicked, and she immediately withdrew her gaze and lowered her head...
However, the young man spotted her at a glance, and Su Xing'an's lips curled into a wicked smile.
"Xing'an, why are you in Huadu?"
Gao Jiaming asked Su Xing'an. Guo Liang was curious, but Gao Jiaming had already informed him that a friend would be joining them for dinner, and that it was the Su family from Shenzhen!
"I'm here to handle some matters."
Su Xing'an shifted his gaze from Wan Yunting and Su Ke'er to where they were, then sat directly beside Gao Jiaming. He introduced himself to Guo Liang, "This is the son of Su Chengping, the chairman of Su Yun Group, Su Xing'an!"
"So, it's Young Master Su. A pleasure to meet you." Guo Liang immediately greeted Su Xing'an very politely.
If the Gao family was a powerful family in Shenzhen, then the Su family was an old family. Su Yun Group and Gao Shi Group formed a leading conglomerate, and the relationship between the two families was very close, making them esteemed families.
"Mr. Guo, please don't mind, I'm just here for a free meal."
Su Xing'an had no airs of a wealthy young master. He waved his hand at Guo Liang, called a waiter, and ordered a meal for himself. Then, with a wicked smile, he asked the waiter, "What is the most expensive red wine you have here?"
"Hello, our most expensive red wine is Screaming Eagle, vintage '96, priced at 1.3 million!" the waiter said.
"One bottle," the generous Guo Liang said.
Su Xing'an then smiled and said, "And get one bottle for the table over there too!"
Guo Liang immediately turned to look at Wan Yunting, who was sitting at that table, and was stunned. Gao Jiaming also looked curiously at that table. Since Su Ke'er's back was to him, he could only see Wan Yunting clearly. He asked Su Xing'an confusedly, "Is he your friend?"
"Don't know him!"
Su Xing'an smiled and shook his head, leaving Guo Liang puzzled as to what he was doing.
Gao Jiaming simply shook his head and smiled, "You rascal, playing tricks on people again. Mr. Guo, let's not mind him and continue discussing your company's plans for this project."
"Alright."
Guo Liang didn't pursue the matter further and continued chatting with Gao Jiaming. Su Xing'an, however, leaned back in his chair, occasionally looking at Wan Yunting with a playful smile...
This made Wan Yunting curious. He naturally didn't know who that young man was, but his playful gaze made Wan Yunting feel a bit strange. He then saw Su Ke'er burying her head on the table, fearful of being seen by Su Xing'an behind her, which made Wan Yunting ask curiously, "What's wrong?"
"Ah, nothing..."
Su Ke'er slightly raised her head and reacted, shaking her head and smiling awkwardly. Just then, the waiter started bringing the dishes one by one. Wan Yunting smiled, "Let's eat."
"Okay..."
Su Ke'er nodded. While eating, she was extremely nervous, not knowing why her brother had appeared here.
Wan Yunting continued to pay attention to Guo Liang's table. At that moment, a foreign waiter pushed over a table with a bottle of red wine, precisely the expensive Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon.
However, Su Ke'er was focused on eating, and Wan Yunting was still watching Guo Liang's table. The foreign waiter greeted them and then began to showcase his wine-opening skills, which also drew gasps from guests at the next table, as it wasn't ordinary for someone to be willing to open a million-dollar bottle of wine.
"Thank you."
Seeing the foreign waiter pour two glasses of red wine and place them in front of each of them, Wan Yunting said thank you, his attention entirely on Guo Liang's side. He smiled at Gao Jiaming, "So, President Gao, I'll head back to my company this afternoon and sign the cooperation project."
"No problem."
Gao Jiaming raised his wine glass. Guo Liang also raised his. Su Xing'an, eating his steak beside them, glanced at them and also raised his wine glass, smiling, "Congratulations on your successful cooperation."
"Haha, good..."
Gao Jiaming and Guo Liang smiled and took a sip of the red wine. Seeing that it was about time, Guo Liang then smiled, "It is my honor, Guo Mou, to cooperate with President Gao."
"Mr. Guo, you jest."
Gao Jiaming ate his food, waved his hand, and smiled, "I'm just a small manager in the company."
Su Xing'an beside him smiled, "Uncle Ming, have you become so low-key now?"
Gao Jiaming glanced at him, "What do you know?"
"Heh heh, don't think I don't know that you want to compete with Gao Zhixiong for the chairman position of your Gao family's group!" Su Xing'an said with a wicked smile, as if he knew everything.
Gao Jiaming immediately gave him a glare and snorted, "Can't even shut your young mouth with a million dollars worth of red wine, can it?"
"Haha..."
Su Xing'an burst into laughter. Guo Liang, meanwhile, looked at Gao Jiaming in surprise. It seemed that even within the Gao family, there was no harmony...
