Led by Ke Ting, Lei Jingqian approached Gui Xiaoxu while observing him.
"Boss, this is Captain Lei Jingqian from the Military Special Force Investigation Division," Ke Ting introduced, then stood behind Gui Xiaoxu.
Standing up from his seat, Gui Xiaoxu reached toward Lei Jingqian and said, "Captain Lei, please have a seat."
After shaking his hand, Lei Jingqian sat down across from Gui Xiaoxu and responded, "Thank you for sparing so of your ti today, CEO Gui."
Pretending not to know the purpose of Lei Jingqian’s visit, Gui Xiaoxu calmly asked, "Captain Lei, when you made this appointnt, you told my assistant that you had so questions for ."
Nodding at him, Lei Jingqian said, "CEO Gui, I know you are very busy, so I won’t beat around the bush. Do you know anything about underground organizations?"
Gui Xiaoxu shook his head. "I have only heard about them, but I have never had anything to do with them. Captain Lei, why are you asking this?"
Lei Jingqian studied Gui Xiaoxu’s expression for a while but didn’t detect any flaws or lies, so he continued, "CEO Gui, have you been in contact with your second uncle recently? Do you know where he is now?"
Gui Xiaoxu shook his head again and calmly answered, "The last ti I t him was ten years ago, when my grandfather passed away. Since then, the first branch of my Gui family hasn’t had any contact with the second and third branches."
"Why are you looking for my second uncle? Does he do sothing?" Gui Xiaoxu asked curiously.
Before coming, Lei Jingqian had already conducted a deeper investigation into Gui Xiaoxu and the entire Gui family. However, the more he investigated, the more mysteries he encountered.
For example, the disappearance of the mbers from the second and third branches of the Gui family.
Staring at Gui Xiaoxu, Lei Jingqian thought for a mont before asking another question. "Then have you ever heard of the Xue Wu Gang?"
Rubbing his chin, Gui Xiaoxu said with uncertainty, "Based on the na, it sounds like a group na of mountain bandits in a costu drama would use. However, I never heard of or t any group with that na in reality."
When Lei Jingqian heard this, he examined Gui Xiaoxu’s expression more closely, but found only a hint of doubt and curiosity in his cold eyes.
’Does he really know nothing about the underground organizations? Then... Who is the Pavilion Master of the Bu Gui Pavilion?’ Lei Jingqian wondered.
Glancing at his watch, Ke Ting whispered, "Boss, it’s almost ti for your eting with the finance departnt."
Overhearing him, Lei Jingqian asked, "CEO Gui, can you please answer my last question?"
Gui Xiaoxu gestured for him to continue. "Captain Lei, please ask."
Staring at Gui Xiaoxu, Lei Jingqian slowly asked without missing any small changes in Gui Xiaoxu’s expressions, "Do you know that your second uncle is the owner of the Xue Wu Gang?"
When Lei Jingqian said this, Gui Xiaoxu skillfully displayed the perfect blend of shock, confusion, and disbelief on his handso face.
After a few seconds of silence, he asked in disbelief, "Captain Lei... is what you said true? So the reason you are asking about my second uncle is because he was doing sothing illegal?"
Lei Jingqian nodded, and Gui Xiaoxu fell silent.
After a brief pause, Gui Xiaoxu’s face paled slightly as he muttered, "I never thought Second Uncle would dare break the law. If my grandfather knew this in the afterlife, he would be very disappointed."
Seeing his complexion turn slightly ashen, Lei Jingqian frowned slightly. ’I never expected this CEO Gui looks like those pretty boys in the entertainnt circle. Weak and too delicate. This kind of ordinary businessman wouldn’t have the courage to deal with underworld organizations.’
Reaching this conclusion in his mind, Lei Jingqian stood up, extended his hand, and said, "CEO Gui, thank you for your cooperation. If we need further information, we will contact you."
Gui Xiaoxu shook his hand and nodded. "Of course. Feel free to find anyti. You can contact my assistant directly to make an appointnt."
"Alright. I will take my leave then."
Turning to Ke Ting, Gui Xiaoxu said, "Assistant Ke, please see Captain Lei out."
"Yes, Boss." Gesturing politely to Lei Jingqian, Ke Ting said, "Captain Lei, please."
After giving Gui Xiaoxu one last look, Lei Jingqian followed Ke Ting to Gui Xiaoxu’s private elevator. Once they left, Gui Xiaoxu calmly stood up and returned to his office.
A few minutes later, Ke Ting walked into the office and reported, "Boss, Lei Jingqian and his n have left."
Standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows, Gui Xiaoxu took a puff of his cigar and humd in acknowledgnt.
Seeing him calmly smoking while looking outside, Ke Ting asked, "Boss, do you think Lei Jingqian believes your words?"
Hearing this, Gui Xiaoxu sneered. "Lei Jingqian won’t believe so easily. He will investigate whether what I said is true or not."
Frowning slightly, Ke Ting asked, "Boss, should we do sothing about that?"
Gui Xiaoxu took another puff of his cigar, then put it out in the ashtray and said calmly, "Go manipulate Lei Jingqian’s investigation results to match what I just told him today."
Realizing what he intended to do, Ke Ting nodded. "Understood."
Without wasting ti, Ke Ting hurried out of the office.
Left alone, Gui Xiaoxu muttered, "Today’s eting should get off Lei Jingqian’s radar for now. But this is not a solution. The Bu Gui Pavilion can’t stay closed forever. Maybe if I can use this opportunity right, I can really cut off this troubleso matter from the roots."
Just as he was thinking about his next move, Gui Xiaoxu’s phone screen lit up. Seeing a ssage from Gui Ying, Gui Xiaoxu unlocked his phone and read it.
[Co back early today. Your seal needs to be suppressed again.]
After reading the WeChat ssage, Gui Xiaoxu smiled faintly and replied: [Got it.]
