1633 Fight Alone

From the moment Qiao Xi went downstairs until she left, Gu Zheng did not even look at her. Instead, he raised his eyes to look at He Tingchen. I still have something on in my company. Let's eat together another day.

He Tingchen smiled and nodded. Alright! I'm going to my company too, so I'll leave first. I'll contact you when I have time!

Gu Zheng nodded, and he was instantly the only one left in the living room. He stood up and walked to the dining hall to take a seat. He elegantly finished his breakfast and looked at Qiao Xi's breakfast with a cold gaze.

On the other hand, Qiao Xi was even angrier when she arrived at the company.

Suddenly, her cell phone vibrated. It was a message from Gu Yao. It was a piece of news from Li City: [The necklace that's worth hundreds of millions, Scorching Heart, disappeared at the He Corporation's donation ceremony!

[Qiao Xi, look at this piece of news. Even a fly can't get past the He family's security system. How did that necklace disappear? That sly old fox, He Weinian, must have hidden it!]

Looking at Gu Yao's message, Qiao Xi's eyes narrowed.

Gu Zheng had installed a GPS inside Scorching Heart. They had been too busy recently and did not have time to look at it, so He Weinian took the initiative to attack.

At this moment, everyone was discussing this matter online. The current market price of Scorching Heart was above 300 million. Moreover, Scorching Heart was a donation. The money from the auction had to be donated. 300 million could completely change a small mountain village, but it had disappeared now.

After losing Scorching Heart, He Weinian posted an apology online and called the police to look for the necklace.

Qiao Xi's heart suddenly thumped as she smelled something unusual.

Could it be that He Weinian wanted to frame Gu Zheng? Then did He Tingchen come to the Gu family to

Qiao Xi immediately called Gu Yao. Gu Yao, go look for Gu Zheng immediately and ask him if he knows about the He family's scheme!

After a while, Gu Yao called back. Gu Zheng said that he doesn't want me to interfere in the He family's matters. Qiao Xi, are you suspecting that He Weinian wants to push the blame on Gu Zheng?

I'm not suspecting anything. Qiao Xi was extremely sure. I'm sure!

F*ck! Gu Yao exploded. Then what should we do? Could it be that Gu Zheng has already been schemed against?!

Only then did Qiao Xi understand why Gu Zheng invited He Tingchen to their house but was unwilling to tell her the reason. He was tempting He Weinian to take the bait. This move was indeed very dangerous. If he was not careful, his reputation would be ruined. Hence, Gu Zheng was unwilling to tell her about it because he was afraid that she would be implicated.

Once this crime was pinned on Gu Zheng, not only would he have to compensate, but he would also have to bear the infamy of stealing. He might even go to jail. Gu Corporation would even be divided up by others. The consequences would be unimaginable.

Qiao Xi's expression was gloomy. After a long silence, she said, Since Gu Zheng has already decided, let's not participate in it for now. We'll listen to him.

There's a GPS on Scorching Heart. The necklace is still in the He family's residence, Qiao Xi said in a low voice. We can't cause trouble for Gu Zheng. He must have his own plans.

As long as He Weinian was not eliminated, Gu Zheng would always be in danger. Instead of being on guard all day, it was better to take the initiative to attack and solve this hidden danger.

Qiao Xi took a deep breath. She could understand Gu Zheng's thoughts, but they were husband and wife. They should face everything together. It was better than Gu Zheng fighting alone, right?

What should she do if he failed?

At this moment, the netizens angrily posted their comments: [The money from auctioning Scorching Heart was supposed to be donated to a poor mountain village. The climate there is cold, and the roads are muddy. There's even no internet. Children have to cross a huge mountain to go to school. They have to leave their homes at four in the morning to reach the school on time.]

[The village in the deep mountains is isolated from the world. It's too difficult to walk out of the mountains. Not only can the 300 million yuan from auctioning Scorching Heart repair roads, but it can also build schools and surrounding houses so that every child can go to school.]

[I went to that mountain village a few years ago to teach. The classrooms were leaking, and the children's bags and textbooks were all wet. They need six hours to go to and from the school every day. If they take a shortcut, they can only cross a bridge that's connected by a rope. Every year, someone will get into an accident on the bridge. This 300 million can help them build a stable bridge, but the necklace was stolen. There's not enough money at all!]

[Who's so heartless as to steal the donated necklace? Those who can attend the auction are either rich or noble. To them, 300 million is just the price of a villa and a year's pocket money. However, to the people in the mountains, it's their lifelong hope!]

[The person who stole the necklace will die a horrible death!]

Someone posted a few photos of the poor mountain village in the comments section. It angered everyone even more. They all berated the thief who stole the necklace.

The residents of the small mountain village were waiting for the 300 million yuan to escape their predicament, but that thief had ruined everyone's hopes. Who knew how long it would take for the next donation?
