Chapter 87: Lu Zhiyuan Suspects Gu Ci

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Nurses helped the little girl stand steady. She took a few steps, feeling a slight pain in her knee, but she could still walk without any abnormality. However, just a moment ago, she was clearly in too much pain to stand up.

The doctor said, “There’s nothing wrong. Where is the bone fracture?”

“I…I…” The girl was embarrassed and humiliated, pointed at and whispered about by the people around her. She turned around and ran away, her companion immediately chasing after her.

After the doctor and nurses left, Grandma asked Gu Ci, “Did it hurt when the orange hit your head?”

Gu Ci had experienced a concussion before, and Jiang Junlin was also concerned. “Let’s take an X-ray. If anything happens, I’ll make her bankrupt.”

Rubbing her forehead, Gu Ci smiled lightly and said, “An orange hitting the forehead doesn’t hurt.”

But when she hit the girl’s knee with the orange, it might not be the case. Gu Ci was not one to be taken advantage of. From childhood to adulthood, she was willing to sacrifice herself, even if it meant losing more than she gained.

When Gu Ci left the hospital, there was a group of girls waiting at the entrance, but she avoided them. They were all fans of Lu Zhiyuan, and upon hearing that she was at the hospital, they came to confront her.

Gu Ci asked the hospital director and left through a special passage.

Zhou Jinjin was itching with anger. “Cici, Gu Chuyun instigated them to come to the hospital and confront you. She pretended to be an insider, saying that you’ve been pestering Lu Zhiyuan and distracting him from training. She even posted several pictures of you entering and leaving the Global Center, spreading rumors that you live together. Don’t go to the square, the things she said were really offensive. It was Gu Chuyun using her alternate account, it’s so hilarious. I’ve seen her use that account two years ago.”

“I know.” Fanatic fans are the easiest to incite, and Gu Chuyun is still not tired of playing this trick.

Lately, she had been thinking about how to appease Lu Zhiyuan and give the Gu family some breathing room. But now Gu Chuyun thought Gu Ci had gone soft. Gu Ci would rather go bankrupt herself than let the Gu family off the hook!

Gu Group had just secured a loan, but now it was being targeted by capital. Within three days, the Gu Group faced a financial crisis. It was being targeted by international headhunters, and multiple teams resigned, creating chaos within the company.

Gu Ci raised an eyebrow. “This is unusual. Who is helping me?”

Jiang Junlin said, “Hualan Bank is an investment bank. They can’t casually target a listed company. Otherwise, it would ruin their integrity, making it difficult for them to establish themselves in the financial world in the future.”

Gu Ci didn’t care who was helping her behind the scenes. The Gu Group couldn’t withstand the onslaught of massive capital. They had to go through bankruptcy and restructuring. Gu Wenliang aged ten years overnight. The kingdom he built with Jiang Mingyue was instantly destroyed.

Gu Chuyun went to Grandma in tears, begging for her help, hoping Grandma would lend a hand. But when Grandma saw her, she said, “Chuyun, I’ve loved you for eighteen years, a whole eighteen years. Even though I found out you’re not Mingyue’s daughter, I never mistreated you. But when you didn’t lift a finger to help when you saw my life was in danger. What gives you the right to beg me now?”

“Grandma, I was wrong. I made a mistake. Please save the Gu family. The Jiang family and the Gu family, as well as the Lu family, all have family ties. If the Gu family falls, the Lu family won’t fare well either.” Gu Chuyun’s face was covered in tears.

Grandma disappointingly looked at her. “Apples don’t fall far from the tree. The saying holds true. Even if my eighteen years of efforts go to waste, our relationship as grandmother and granddaughter has come to an end. I don’t want to see you anymore.”

This was also to account in front of Gu Ci.

Gu Chuyun wiped away her tears, staring at Gu Ci with hatred. “Gu Ci, all of this is your doing. You intentionally targeted the Gu Group. You are also a member of the Gu family. How could you be so ruthless? If the Gu Group goes bankrupt, the eighteen years your parents raised you would be in vain. You’ve betrayed their upbringing.”

“Gu Chuyun, when you instigated Lu Zhiyuan’s fans to come to the hospital and confront me, did you ever think that the Gu Group would go bankrupt?” Gu Ci looked at her coldly. She approached Gu Chuyun and whispered, “I only wanted to teach the Gu Group a lesson. It’s you…who wanted the Gu Group to go bankrupt. You brought this upon yourself.”

“I won’t let you go!” Gu Chuyun’s eyes were filled with intense hatred. “I will make you pay!”

“I’ll be waiting!” Gu Ci replied calmly.

Jiang Junlin frowned and looked at Gu Chuyun’s back, saying calmly, “She is ruthless and cunning. Be cautious of her in the future.”

“I know.” Gu Ci had always been on guard against Gu Chuyun. Without Lu Shijie overseeing the Lu family, and with the nullification of the alliance between him and Gu Chuyun, there was no one to support Gu Chuyun. What else could she do to cause trouble?

Gu Group’s properties worth billions were auctioned off. Gu Wenliang and Lu Man’s assets were frozen and put up for auction. Gu Yaozu and Gu Chuyun were still okay. Gu Chuyun, being cunning from a young age, bought six properties with her newfound wealth. Some of them were luxurious mansions. She also had a trust fund overseas. The bankruptcy of the Gu Group didn’t affect her personal assets.

Selling these properties would only make a small dent in the Gu Group’s hole. Gu Chuyun didn’t want to sell them. With her trust fund and properties, she could still live a worry-free life.

But Gu Chuyun, who had grown up in luxury, always spent money extravagantly. How could she be satisfied?

She wanted to reclaim her glory and make Gu Ci experience unbearable pain.

After leaving the Jiang family, Gu Chuyun was determined. A car stopped next to her, and Lu Shijie was sitting in the car, calmly asking, “Gu Chuyun, want a ride?”

A greedy and malicious look flashed in Gu Chuyun’s eyes. She smiled sweetly, “Sure.”

At the Global Center, Lu Zhiyuan finished his training and was discussing with the technical team on how to improve speed when Li Jiang approached him.

“Third Young Master, I brought Miss Gu Ci’s report.”

Lu Zhiyuan raised his hand to interrupt him, then took Li Jiang aside and asked in a low voice, “How’s the investigation going?”

“During Gu Ci’s three years of high school, she only had one friend, Zhou Jinjin. Her life was highly regular, and her high school studies were extremely demanding. Gu Ci missed school a total of sixteen times in three years, all due to illness, and most of them were when she took leave after getting injured in fights with Gu Chuyun’s cronies. The hospital has records of it. Aside from that, she would go to the game center, go camping, and go cycling with Zhou Jinjin on weekends. After the college entrance examination, she stayed at home and didn’t go out. She definitely didn’t have the time to study medicine. I copied Gu Ci’s surgical technique and consulted a cardiovascular surgeon. The way Gu Ci performed the surgery was remarkably similar to Dr. North. After the thoracotomy, she re-diagnosed and changed the surgical plan, successfully treating Grandma. This kind of difficult surgery can only be done by Dr. North and a few authoritative doctors with extensive clinical experience. He doesn’t believe that an eighteen-year-old girl could perform such a surgery.” Li Jiang’s face also turned serious. The more he investigated, the more suspicious he became. “Gu Ci didn’t have the time to study medicine during her three years of high school. Even if she were an extraordinary genius, she couldn’t have managed her heavy high school coursework while studying cardiac surgery.”

Li Jiang had found clear evidence of Gu Ci’s whereabouts during her three years of high school, and the more Lu Zhiyuan looked at it, the darker his expression became. Gu Ci was Gu Ci, but she also wasn’t Gu Ci.

Although he had reconciled with Gu Ci, he didn’t ask her about studying medicine again. If Gu Ci didn’t want to talk about it, he couldn’t force it out. He had to investigate..
