Chapter 438: Introduction

I beg you, bless us. I promise to do more good deeds."Everyone says that if you have a sincere heart, the spirits will be moved. So she was very devout and asked Haojie to put money into the donation...Shao Hui stressed that they must absolutely not rush over to save people recklessly, and should not act hastily. Because the two men in front of him were now too calm, a calmness that made Shao Hui feel uneasy.

He considers himself skilled at observing others. During his time at the police academy, he had a specialized course in behavioral science, which he excelled in. Therefore, as long as he wanted to, he could discern someone's psychology through their minuscule facial expressions.

But Zhuo Yu'an and Lu Kuo in front of him, whether they were too good at concealing their thoughts or simply had no thoughts at the moment, made it impossible for him to see through them. The two were vastly different in style. Zhuo Yu'an remained expressionless, his eyes filled only with coldness, while Lu Kuo, as always, wore a smile and nothing else seemed to show in his demeanor.

He couldn't see through the true intentions of these two people, but he was certain that beneath their current calm, they were definitely brewing something. That's why he repeatedly emphasized to them not to act rashly and to trust the police.

Lu Kuo said, "Of course we believe you, Officer Shao, you must bring Tinglan back safely."

"If there's nothing else, Zhuo Yu and I will leave first. We'll leave the cleanup to you guys."

Without waiting for Shao Hui's response, he drove straight away, taking Zhuo Yu'an and his people with him.

After driving for a while, he confirmed that Zhu Yu'an’s words just now: “Give me Gu Ruandong’s phone number,” weren't hallucinations. He then spoke, "Gu Ruandong was in Macau the past two days for the opening of a casino he invested in. He should be back in the next couple of days. I'll try contacting him."

But Lu Kuo still couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure you really want to find Gu Ruandong"

Gu Ruantong is completely different from Zhuo YUAN'AN. Due to his grandfather and parents' work, Zhuo YUAN'AN does business according to rules and regulations, never taking shortcuts. You can see this from his emphasis on the company's legal team. Everything he does must be reasonable and legal, never exploiting loopholes. He even pays taxes every year, not even engaging in basic and reasonable tax avoidance, honestly paying what is due, avoiding any gossip. The company's products, both in terms of quality and service, meet the highest standards. Zhuoyuan Technology has come this far with few negative news stories because his personal style influences the company's genes to be upright and trustworthy.

But Gu Ruandong was completely different. He had no rules to speak of; wherever there was money to be made, there he would be. The vast Gu Group's business operations were intricate and highly sophisticated, many operating on the edge of legality. They appeared illegal yet remained surprisingly reasonable and legitimate, navigating both the black and white worlds with ease, leaving nothing he couldn't handle.

Although he and Zhuo Yu'an grew up together, they never really got along. They were like students in the same class – one was a good student, and the other was a bad student. They couldn't stand each other.

After Gu Jia's downfall, Zhuo Yunan and Lu Kuo were arranged by their parents to attend Qining High School. Zhuo Yunan completely severed ties with Gu Ruandong. On the other hand, Lu Kuo, who liked to socialize, kept in touch with Gu Ruandong.

After they grew up, both of them did well in their respective careers. Gu Ruan Dong once asked Lu Kuo to help him get in touch with Zhuo Yu An because Gu Ruan Dong had been very optimistic about Zhuo Yuan Technology a long time ago and wanted to invest.

But Zhuo Y uan immediately refused without hesitation. He didn't look down on Gu Ruandong's money, nor did he want his Zhuyuan Technology to be associated with a bad reputation.

Zuo Yu'an is indeed the kind of student who is upright and honest, from school to work, he is principled, serious, and takes things seriously.

...and then it was over.

Lu Kuo remembered that when Gu Ruandong heard his relay of Zhuo Yu'an's refusal, he didn't seem surprised or angry as expected. Instead, he burst into laughter and said, "This person is truly unchanged after so many years, quite boring."

Zhuo Yu'an can now turn to Gu Ruandong for help, probably because of Tinglan. He has given up all dignity and principles. Although he still appears indifferent and calm on the surface, only he knows how tormented he is inside, a pain that others cannot understand.

When Lu Kuò contacted Gu Ruǎn Dōng again, he was uncertain whether Gu Ruǎn Dōng was willing to help. On his way back, Gu Ruǎn Dōng heard Lu Kuò explain the situation and did not give a statement, only saying >>>

“Hey Have you heard of this guy How is Zhuo Yu’an connected to him I’ll be at the Jinhao World Club at 8 p.m. Come over.”

Lu Kuo looked at Zhuo Yu'an inquiringly, and when Zhuo Yu'an nodded, he replied: "Okay, we'll be there at 8 o'clock."

Given Lu Kuo's understanding of Gu Ruan Dong, this time Zhu Yu An bowed his head to him for help, he really didn't know what kind of tricks he would use to retaliate. On the way to the Jin Hao family club, Lu Kuo gave himself a heads-up in advance.

“That kid is a bit arrogant. No matter what he says then, just ignore him.” He was afraid that Zhu Yu would be overconfident and get into a fight after only a few words.

"It was me who asked him." Zhuo Yu'an said faintly, implying that no matter how the other party treated him, he had to endure it because he had something to ask of him.

Jin Haoshijia is a club owned by Gu Ruandong. Lu Kuo has been there several times, so he knew the place well and walked straight into Gu Ruandong's exclusive private room. It was before 8 o'clock, and two of Gu Ruandong's friends were already sitting inside. They both looked like gangsters, with two girls on either side of them as companions.

Although Lu Kuo and Gu Ruandong had a friendship, Gu Ruandong was a complex person with a wide circle of acquaintances. He would categorize his interactions and avoid unnecessary overlaps between his friends.

Before Gu Ruandong arrived, they all ignored each other and sat at their respective ends.

It was strange that Lu Kuo originally felt Zhuo YUAN's temperament was out of place with this environment. Zhuo YUAN was the type who, at first glance, was a business elite, carrying an innate sense of nobility and pride. To put it poetically, he was like a star in the sky, meant to be high above, overlooking all beings. The Jinhao Family Club, however, was like a big dye vat of the mortal world, with all sorts of people mingling together.

But what was strange to Lu Kuò was that Zhuo Yǔ'ān, sitting there, could blend in so well, completely losing his usual aloof and noble demeanor from the business world. He seemed as if he were born to thrive in this very environment.

What a great adaptability!

Gu Ruandong arrived late, and as soon as he came in, he said loudly: "I'm sorry everyone, there was a terrible traffic jam."

It was almost half an hour late.

His two friends, seeing him arrive, quickly got up to give him a seat.

"Here, Shao Gu, have a seat."

He waved his hand and walked straight toward Lu Kuò and Zhuó Yǔān.

"Here, let me introduce you."

He didn't even greet Zhuo Y uan, as if they were regular acquaintances, and introduced his two friends to Zhuo Yu an.

>"Da Jin and Da Fang often travel to Yunnan. Just tell them what you need to do."

To everyone's surprise, Gu Ruandong didn't make things difficult for Zhu Youan at all. His attitude was even quite good. as "the boss lady" had an intimidating effect. The employees in the shop immediately changed their demeanor when they saw her. 。The store manager came up to her and accompanied her to Jiang Mu's off...
