Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself-Chapter 1635 - The Plan Has Already Begun

1635 The Plan Has Already Begun
“The president has been too busy recently. He’s afraid that he won’t be able to take care of you, so he sent you here to stay for a few days. The matter will definitely be settled in a week at the latest.”

Qiao Xi’s heart was heavy. No wonder Gu Zheng looked at her with a reluctant expression when he wanted to eat glutinous rice balls last night!

“Don’t worry, it’s just a small matter. The president was just afraid that you would be upset, so he hid it from you.” Song Shiyu smiled obsequiously. “Just treat it as a holiday. The president will come and pick you up in a week.”

Qiao Xi looked out of the window. There was an artificial lake outside, and there were many flowers, plants, and trees planted around it. The scenery was pleasant. The interior of the villa was luxuriously decorated, and it was enough to show how diligent the builder was. This seemed to be a princess’ castle.

“Then tell me, what does he want to do?” Qiao Xi suppressed the uneasiness in her heart.

Song Shiyu looked helpless. “Even if you know, you can’t do anything. The plan has already begun.”

Qiao Xi was puzzled. “The plan started in just one night?”

She knew Gu Zheng’s ability, but she was still worried and wanted to do something for him.

“Young Madam, you’ve been asleep for three days.”

Qiao Xi widened her eyes in shock.

She slept for three days?

Qiao Xi took out her phone and instantly saw the notification.

[The latest developments on the missing Scorching Heart. Gu Corporation’s President, Gu Zheng, has been taken away by the police for investigation!]

The moment this news was released, the internet instantly exploded. The police found Scorching Heart in Longwan Residential, and Gu Zheng was immediately taken away by the police. In the eyes of the netizens, the thief had already been caught.

Scorching Heart was not just a necklace. It was the hope of the people in the mountains. However, Gu Zheng, the richest man in Li City, actually stole it. He clearly did not lack the 300 million, but he stole Scorching Heart. He was treating the donation as a joke!

The netizens’ curses were almost overflowing. Qiao Xi’s heart ached. No wonder he said that she could not stay in Longwan Residential. That place should have been sealed off by now.

Qiao Xi hurriedly opened Qin An’s chat box. Qin An had already told her the news from the outside world. Gu Corporation’s stock market had plummeted, and the president had been arrested. Everyone was dispirited. Every day, people would come to the company’s entrance to splash paint and hold banners.

“I’m the creator of Scorching Heart. I can prove his innocence.” Qiao Xi’s voice was slightly choked.

“Young Madam, you’re indeed the creator of Scorching Heart, but even if you stand up and testify, who will believe you? Since the president has come this far, he has a way to escape. Believe him, alright?”

Qiao Xi closed her eyes and did not dare to look at the netizens’ curses. When had Gu Zheng ever been scolded like this? He Weinian’s move was putting Gu Zheng in the eye of the storm.

“There should be other reasons for him to send me out of Li City, right?” Qiao Xi suddenly asked.

Song Shiyu looked a little flustered.
“Now that Gu Zheng has been captured, if I stay in Li City, He Weinian will definitely look for me to discuss a deal. As long as I agree to his request, he can let Gu Zheng off. Or rather, He Weinian’s target from the beginning was me. Scheming against Gu Zheng was just part of the plan. Gu Zheng was afraid that I would fall for his trap, so he sent me away, right?” Qiao Xi stared at him with a burning gaze.

Song Shiyu’s expression changed.

Qiao Xi was extremely sure. “Not saying anything is equivalent to admitting it. I’ve been unconscious for three days, and the plan has already reached the end. I can’t interfere anymore. If the plan goes smoothly, he can escape in a few days. At that time, it’ll be meaningless for He Weinian to look for me.”

Song Shiyu: “…” Damn! Young Madam’s guess was too accurate! He did not say a word, yet she had guessed everything herself!

Qiao Xi did not say anything else. She looked at the location of Scorching Heart and was relieved.

…

At the police station.

Gu Zheng was wearing a suit and sitting leisurely on a chair. He was clearly a suspect, but he did not look disheveled at all. Instead, he exuded a noble aura that made others not dare to offend him.

On the first day of the plan, He Weinian reported him for stealing Scorching Heart and brought the police to search for the necklace in Longwan Residential. He was taken away by the police, and Longwan Residential was also sealed off.

Right on the heels of that, a few higher-ups of Gu Corporation sold their shares. The company’s shares plummeted, and everyone in the company was in a panic.

In the Gu family’s old residence, not only was He Wenxian not blamed, but she was also valued by Old Master Gu and Gu Weiming. It seemed that they had long known about He Weinian’s plan.

It was the third day now. The results of the jewelry appraisal were about to be released. At the same time, He Weinian was probably looking for Xi Xi.

In the He family’s villa.

“Have you found her?”

“Sir, Miss Qiao was secretly sent away by Gu Zheng. We’ve searched the entirety of Li City, but we can’t find her.”

“Trash! Hurry up and investigate!”
