Chapter 76 - 76 Discovered
76 Discovered
“For now, he’s only suspicious. Previously, Twelfth Brother found out that a lot of their activities coincided, and that’s likely what caused Huo Jinyan to investigate Little Ning.
“Ninth Brother, have you noticed anything else unusual about him recently?”
Ninth Brother shook his head. “No. He had investigated some people in secret, but they’re all ordinary people. However, Boss’ history and background are rather more complicated, so that might be why he’s latching on to her.”
The corners of Gu Chen’s lips curled into a scowl. “Possibly. After all, he finally caught a trace after investigating for so long. He definitely won’t give up here until he’s thoroughly investigated her.
“Though, it did buy us quite a lot of time. Is everything going well on Fourth Brother’s side?”
“It’s going smoothly.”
Gu Chen nodded. “Then continue following him.”
Ninth Brother paused for a moment before saying, “I think they might have discovered me.”
Gu Chen was a little surprised. “They managed to discover you even with your capabilities?”
“Yes, Huo Jinyan and that a.s.sistant of his are very vigilant.”
“It’s fine, continue to keep a tab on him. There are benefits to being discovered as well; the more time he wastes on unnecessary things, the more time we have, and the smoother things will go.”
Ninth Brother nodded. “Don’t you need to tell Boss that we’re here?”
Gu Chen frowned and glanced at him. “I only told her that Twelfth Brother and I are here. You guys wait for a while and settle the matters at hand first; don’t scare her.”
Ninth Brother nodded.
“Is Boss having a hard time recently? It looks like she’s taken on a few more part-time jobs. Is she that short of money?”
Gu Chen quietly nodded.
“Then why aren’t you guys helping her out? What’s the point of buying over that café at a steep price and then letting her work there part-time? That pittance of a salary isn’t even enough to pay for her mother’s hospitalization.”
Gu Chen rolled his eyes. “Don’t you let this matter leak out. She doesn’t want us to interfere and wants to resolve it herself. We purchased the café in the hopes of keeping her closer so that we can protect her all the time. If this leaks out and it scares her off, we won’t even be able to keep an eye on her, much less protect her.”
Ninth Brother rolled his eyes back at him. “What’s there to scare her off? She used to be a young lady who handled projects worth tens or even hundreds of millions of yuan. Scaring her off simply because you bought over a café? You’re looking down on Boss too much.”
Gu Chen brushed him aside. “What would you know? Get lost.”
Ninth Brother kicked him and then slipped away post-haste.
Gu Chen watched helplessly at his shrinking back.
Actually, it was not that he was afraid of scaring Lu Ning off; rather, he did not want her to feel like she was a burden. She was the sort who did not like to trouble others.

Lu Ning leaned back and stretched her neck.
“So tired! There seems to be more people today.”
Xiaowen rotated her arms.
Lu Ning looked at her and smiled. Then, she eyed the full trash can not far away.
“I’ll go clear the trash.”
“Okay, take it easy.”
“Yeah.”
Lu Ning picked up the trash bag and tied it up before going to the back door.
The trash was always left in the corner at the back. Somebody would come to collect it.
It was already autumn; as soon as she opened the door a gust of autumn wind blew in. Lu Ning unintentionally shivered.
She put the trash to the side and was about to head back in when she heard some noise from the street and subconsciously looked over.
Is that… Old Zhu?!
Old Zhu had been pressed against the wall by someone; that person had a large build and appeared rather fierce. He did not look like someone to be trifled with.
“I don’t give a d.a.m.n about your situation! Return the money, you hear?! If you don’t, don’t blame us for being rude! I wonder if your son’s oxygen tube is still plugged in…”
Old Zhu was about to break down from fear and pleaded for clemency.
