It takes over ten minutes to drive from Heng City to the Gu Family, and over thirty minutes if there’s traffic.
But Chi Yu recklessly sped on his bike, taking less than eight minutes to reach the headquarters of the Gu Group.
The entire way, he truly rode as if his life depended on it, insanely and beyond help.
...
Inside the Gu Group.
In the president’s office, just over ten minutes ago—
A female employee brought in an ice pack for Gu Yuan to apply to her cheek. After it was placed on her face, Gu Yuan raised her hand to take over from the employee, saying, "Go do what you need to do, I’ll handle this myself."
"But President Gu, your face..."
"It’s nothing serious, please go." Gu Yuan’s voice was particularly gentle.
So gentle that it made the employee want to cry.
President Gu was not only capable but also strong. The slap mark on her face looked painful, yet she didn’t even flinch.
"...Alright... President Gu." Before the employee left, she glanced again at Gu Yuan’s cheek, feeling terribly sorry for her.
President Gu’s face, so exquisite and beautiful, was subjected to such abuse today. She wished the man arrested by the police would be detained for ten days or half a month, no, he should be detained for a few months.
But given the situation, since the perpetrator was President Gu’s biological uncle, he would surely be released after just one day.
The employee could only complain in her heart, but she absolutely didn’t expect that the situation would be resolved by tonight.
A few minutes after the employee left, the door was pushed open again.
Dao An hurried into Gu Yuan’s office, so worried that he disregarded his usual composed deanor at the company.
"...President Gu, how are you?" Dao An was extrely anxious.
"It’s not a big deal." Gu Yuan looked up at Dao An, who should have been accompanying Old Madam Quan at this mont, yet appeared in her office, causing her to lean back a bit: "Why are you at the company, didn’t I ask you to stay with Old Madam Quan?"
"I inford the old lady and excused myself for a while, the old lady is on her way. When I got the call from Qiu, I was totally confused." Qiu is the assistant responsible for Gu Yuan’s other affairs.
Qiu’s abilities are no less than those of Dao An, but each has their responsibilities. Qiu works mostly at the company, while Dao An follows Gu Yuan, running around.
"What are you worried about, how much could I lose on my own turf, it’s fine." Gu Yuan said nonchalantly.
Dao An thought about it and agreed, but it was true that President Gu had taken a solid slap from Wen Bo.
It hurt, evidenced by the red mark still lingering on President Gu’s face.
"Qiu briefly explained the situation to over the phone, I’m sorry President Gu, but in planning the daily schedule, I didn’t anticipate your uncle’s visit today, nor his causing trouble upon arrival."
This wasn’t the first ti; every ti Wen Bo visited the Gu Family, the whole place was in turmoil. But never like today, where President Gu confronted him head-on and didn’t give Wen Bo another chance to make a fuss, directly planning to have him sent to the police station.
It was simply gratifying.
"Don’t bla yourself, I didn’t expect it myself." Nonetheless, Gu Yuan was quite satisfied with her impromptu handling of the situation.
It was just a slap, after all, it wasn’t much to her.
Dao An stepped forward, picked up the ice pack on the table, and applied it to Gu Yuan’s cheek.
Gu Yuan let him, allowing Dao An to help her apply it. Dao An was ticulous in everything he did, including applying the ice pack, doing so with extre care.
While applying the pack, the office door was abruptly pushed open again, and a figure rushed in.
Gu Yuan hadn’t even had a chance to see clearly before Dao An beside her was pulled away, and then she saw the man before her, dressed in a theatrical costu, appearing so disheveled.
