Chapter 160: Quick Ways to Earn Money

Translator: _Min_

Gu Zhi lifted her foot and bolted out of the door before Gu Ming could strike her again.

Liu Min immediately called out, Zhizhi!

Seeing Liu Min about to chase after her, Gu Ming locked the door and said coldly, This is all because youve spoiled her rotten. You are not to go after Gu Zhi today!

With that, Gu Ming slammed the door behind him, retreated to his bedroom, and took out his phone to open a group chat.

Back when he was the Chairman of the Gu Group, a nonchalant word from him would have people flocking to curry favor. Now, those who used to ingratiate themselves with him had all but disappeared.

Only a few remained in the chat groupindividuals he had barely paid attention to in the past due to the lack of their ability. And now they were doing better than him. So even if he disdained mingling with these people, he had no choice but to endure it.

The more Gu Ming thought about his current penniless state and his inability to integrate back into the Gu Group, the deeper his resentment towards Gu Dai grew. He wished he could tear her to pieces.

Staring at the group chat, Gu Ming sent a message.

Gu Ming: Any quick ways to make money?

Friend 1: Well, Brother Gu, there are quick ways, but theyre not exactly legal.

Gu Mings brows furrowed as his fingers rapidly typed across the screen.

Gu Ming: 1 dont care if its legal or not; I need money now!

Friend 2: Since youve said so, Ill tell you. 1 recently heard about an ancient royal tomb. Its bound to be filled with treasures. Sell those age-old antiques, and youll have your money, right?

Friend 3: Tomb raiding? Isnt that a bit extreme? Arent you afraid of repercussions?

Gu Ming scoffed at the notion of repercussions.

Gu Ming: Theres nothing scarier in this world than not having money. Since this path to wealth is open, lets prepare and act quickly!

As Gu Ming observed his friends discussing the intricacies of tomb raiding, he began fantasizing. Once he successfully raided the tomb, sold the antiques, and secured a large sum of money, hed buy shares in the Gu Group and eventually oust Gu Dai. Shed end up dest.i.tute, wandering the streets.

In the darkness, the glow from his smartphone cast eerie shadows on his face, highlighting an expression that was a mix of gloom and madness.

After Gu Zhi ran out of the house, she stood at a distance, staring at the closed door. The slap shed received earlier only deepened the well of resentment within her.

She picked up her phone and dialed Gu Sis number. In her eyes, her aunt Gu Si was the most capable and cunning. Surely, she could rescue her from her miserable life and teach Gu Dai a lesson.

When Gu Dai returned home and didnt see Gu Zhi, she turned to Wu Zhen with a puzzled look, Wheres Gu Zhi?

Wu Zhen spoke softly, Miss, she went to the adjacent house. I saw her sneak out, so 1 didnt stop her. But I had someone follow her.

Gu Dai nodded, When she comes back, act as if youre unaware that she left. Be as you usually are.

Wu Zhen, Understood, Miss.

Gu Dai went upstairs and made a call to Chu Min.

The moment the call connected, Chu Min picked up, Whats up, Boss? Any instructions?

Gu Dai: Keep an eye on Gu Ming and Liu Min. Report any movements immediately.

Chu Min: Absolutely, Boss!

After he agreed, he then hesitated, as if debating whether to say something more.

Detecting Chu Mins hesitant breathing, Gu Dai, whod come to understand him over the years, guessed what was troubling him. If theres something on your mind, just say it.

Chu Min quietly said, Boss, the previous incident with Song Ling and Jiang Yue has created quite a stir online. Surprisingly, public opinion has swung in favor of Song Ling within days, even boosting Song Corporations stock significantly.

Gu Dai yawned, speaking indifferently, Is that so? Ive been too busy to keep up with news.

Chu Min nodded vigorously, then remembered that Gu Dai couldnt see him and quickly added, Its true, Boss. Just check the entertainment news; Song Ling is still trending!

Though she wasnt interested, seeing Chu Mins excitement made her cave. She opened the news and skimmed through a few headlines..
