Guo Huining thought that she had thought that Uncle Dong was the boss, but it turned out that there was someone even more powerful than Uncle Dong, who had been watching her from the side …
Guo Huining calmly sat down opposite the man and asked with a smile, "What's your name? Where do you work? "
The man was sitting in a low-class food stall, but he looked as elegant as if he were sitting in a five-star restaurant.
His back was straight, and one look was enough to tell that he came from a good family and had a strict upbringing since he was young.
Guo Huining couldn't help but sit up straight.
The man looked Guo Huining up and down without batting an eyelid. He smiled and extended his hand. "You can call me Kevin. It's our first time meeting. Please take care of me."
Guo Huining shook his hand as well. "Hello, Mr. Kevin."
In the noisy food stalls, a few children screamed as they ran past, followed by a few parents who were chasing after them in exasperation.
There was a queue in front of every food stall, but no one was waiting quietly. They were either talking loudly or pushing each other.
The dining environment couldn't be considered good, but it had a lively atmosphere.
Kevin nodded. "Miss Guo wants to see me. What's the matter?"
Guo Huining picked up her phone and played with it. She said thoughtfully, "… You guys are the ones who want me to join you. You don't have to pretend like nothing happened, right?"
Kevin curled his lips, and his slender eyes formed a charming arc. He said, "Miss Guo, do you agree to join us?"
"Don't make it sound so bad." Guo Huining shifted on the chair uncomfortably. "It's not like I'm going to do anything illegal …"
Kevin put away his smile. She was already at the point where she was afraid of being followed, yet this woman still had fantasies.
He said calmly, "Miss Guo, it's important to know one's limits. If you don't use extreme measures, you won't be able to get what you want, not even in your next life. "
His words were so harsh that it was worse than a slap in the face.
Guo Huining felt that not only was her face burning, but her entire body was hurting.
She stood up abruptly and wanted to leave immediately. However, when she saw Kevin's dark eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, it was as if she had been immobilized. Her feet were rooted to the ground and she couldn't move a single step.
Kevin's face was expressionless, and he just looked at her without moving.
The diners sitting next to them felt a little strange at this time. They looked at Guo Huining and Kevin in surprise and muttered a few words, as if saying, "If you want to quarrel, go home. Why are you quarreling in public?" … …
Kevin looked at Guo Huining for a while, then stood up slowly and said, "Since Miss Guo still hasn't figured it out, I'll leave first." He then turned around and left.
Guo Huining gritted her teeth. She didn't want to chase after him, but her feet seemed to have a mind of their own.
Kevin knew that she was behind him, but he didn't stop. He maintained his normal pace and walked towards the elevator.
Just as the elevator door was about to close, he, Kevin, he didn't stop.
She opened her mouth to speak, but Kevin put a finger to his lips and shushed her. He then pointed at the surveillance camera in the elevator.
Guo Huining understood, and said nothing. to him. Huining's Kevin that out.
The two of them stayed silent until they got out of the elevator and walked to the sidewalk outside the building. Only then did Guo Huining say, "Mr. Kevin, what exactly do you mean?"
"I didn't mean anything." Kevin put his hands in his trouser pockets and shrugged. "As I said, it depends on what Miss Guo wants."
He looked up at the rare azure sky in the capital, took out a pair of sunglasses from his pocket and put them on. "There's an old saying in Huaxia, 'Only those who suffer the most hardship can become the best.' If Miss Guo wants to be the best, but is unwilling to work hard, then it's just a daydream. "
Guo Huining was furious. How was it possible that she was daydreaming?!
Huo Guanchen treated her so well!
Although he didn't confess, what if he took the initiative to say it later?
But she also knew that even though she had been by his side for several months, he was still indifferent. If she waited for him to take the initiative, she would probably have to wait until the end of time.
Guo Huining couldn't wait any longer. She was also afraid that Huo Guanchen would come back to her and remarry Song Jinning. If that happened, all her efforts would be in vain.
Her expression changed unpredictably. After a while, she finally said, "… Then what do you want me to do? Don't tell me it's actually a crime? "
Kevin snickered and glanced at Guo Huining. "Miss Guo is no stranger to breaking the law. Why do you have to pretend to be innocent? … I'm not interested in working with an ignorant, older girl. "
"You're calling me an ignorant girl?!" Guo Huining automatically removed the word "older" from her mind, but she was still bothered by the word "ignorant."
"Yeah, if you haven't thought about it, then you don't have to." Kevin stopped by the side of the road as if to hail a cab.
He turned back to look at Guo Huining. "My time is limited, and so are our human resources. I don't have time to waste with you, Miss Guo. Miss Guo, please find someone else. "
Guo Huining panicked and tugged at the corner of Kevin's shirt. "Mr. Kevin, I'm just a little worried … Is there no legal way? I just want to marry General Huo, and then things will be easier after that. "
With the title of the General's wife, whatever she wanted, there would naturally be someone who would be smart enough to give it to her. Why would she dirty her hands?
She instinctively felt that in order to become Huo Guanchen's wife, she still had to maintain her innocence. She couldn't do anything wrong, or she wouldn't be able to pass the background check.
Kevin turned around to face Guo Huining. His gaze was deep as if he could see into her heart.
He took a step closer and stretched out his index finger, almost touching Guo Huining's chest. "… Miss Guo, no effort, no gain. The more you want to gain, the more effort you have to put in. Even these kindergarten children understand this. Don't you understand, Miss Guo? "
As he finished speaking, his gaze turned cold. "Miss Guo, you can't be too greedy. If you don't want to give anything but want something that doesn't belong to you, then you might as well buy a lottery ticket and try your luck. Why do you have to plan and run into walls everywhere? "
Guo Huining was very indignant. She sneered. "Why don't you just say that you're not capable enough? Otherwise, how can others get so much without giving anything?!"
"Who? I've never met someone like that before. Miss Guo, why don't you tell me? "
"Gu Nianzhi!" Guo Huining blurted out. "Her luck is even better than winning the lottery! But look at what she gave up?! Why can't I do the same?! "
"… So it's Gu Nianzhi …" Kevin looked at her meaningfully. "You could've competed with anyone else, but why her? She's the one who won at the starting line! "
Guo Huining froze. "Are you sure? How can Gu Nianzhi be the one who won at the starting line? Her background is much worse than mine. She was born an orphan in an orphanage. Huo Shao found someone to pretend to be her father so that she could be with him. You don't really think that Lu guy is Gu Nianzhi's biological father, do you? "
At this moment, Kevin seemed to be very interested. His indifferent expression changed to one of interest. His dark eyes reflected the sunlight shining through the cracks in the trees, and the stars danced in his eyes, making his elegant and handsome face look even more lively.
"… I didn't expect Miss Guo to be so familiar with Miss Gu's matters."
Guo Huining turned her head. "Her fiancé is Guanchen's only son. How could I not know? We'll be a family in the future, and the relationship between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the most difficult. I'm not that much older than her, so if she throws a tantrum, even I have to keep my distance. "
Kevin's smile widened. "Looks like Miss Guo is determined to win General Huo's heart."
"If not … Why would I look for you?" Guo Huining threw caution to the wind. "I already know what you're up to, so let's see if you can help me. As long as I can successfully marry Guanchen, I'll owe you a favor. When the time comes … "
"There's no need for that." Kevin interrupted her. "I don't do things on credit. If Miss Guo can't pay me the price, then pretend I never came today. My people won't continue to interact with Miss Guo, and we'll say our goodbyes. "
As soon as he finished speaking, a normal taxi stopped by the roadside.
Kevin opened the door and got in. After giving the driver an address, he closed the door and left.
Guo Huining didn't even have time to say a word before she watched him leave. She was extremely frustrated.
She slapped the back of her head, thinking that she had been too indecisive.
If she was indecisive, she would only get herself into trouble.
Since she was already on board, why pretend to be innocent?
It wasn't like she didn't know those photos were already an invasion of privacy.
She was just pretending not to know.
She clenched her fists and went to the parking lot to get her car.
After getting in the car, she finally sent another text to Kevin: "… I'm on board."
Kevin sat in the taxi and read Guo Huining's text on his phone. His lips curled into a smile.
The driver in front was actually Uncle Dong.
He gripped the steering wheel with both hands and whispered, "Sir, how did it go?"
Kevin didn't reply to Guo Huining immediately. Instead, he put away his phone and said with a half-smile, "When I met up with Guo Huining, there were at least five people secretly watching us. That General Huo really thinks highly of Guo Huining. "
Uncle Dong laughed heartily. "Sir, you're still the smart one. You walked into the tiger's den and still managed to escape unscathed!"
Kevin looked out the window and snorted. "Guo Huining is hesitant. Her personality is really not likable. She's also jealous of Gu Nianzhi and can't stand her. Her heart is higher than the sky, but her life is thinner than paper. "
"She has the body of a servant and the life of a servant. She insisted on tiptoeing to be the daughter of a wealthy family." Uncle Dong said mercilessly. "Serves her right to fall into the pit."
Kevin nodded. "She can't get off the boat. We can begin the operation."
Uncle Dong drove the taxi around the Imperial Capital's traffic several times to shake off all the cars tailing them before driving back to their territory.
…
Huo Guanchen sat in his office and listened to his personal secretary's report. His brows furrowed.
"… Lost them? How did you lose them? You didn't activate the GPS? "
His personal secretary became embarrassed. "… Activating the GPS for domestic matters requires the approval of the Special Operations Forces. We haven't submitted the application yet."
Huo Guanchen glanced at him. "What about the surveillance cameras? There are so many surveillance cameras on the streets. Didn't you check them? "
"… I did." His personal secretary was troubled. "In the end, we discovered that at a certain intersection, there were suddenly many more taxis of the same model. Even their age was similar. The surveillance cameras didn't have high resolution, so we couldn't tell which one was the real one … "
"Oh? He has this kind of ability? "Huo Guanchen smiled and nodded." Alright, it seems like this person is indeed not ordinary. With this kind of ability, even if he's not the real mastermind, he's still one of the masterminds. Remember to keep an eye on Guo Huining. "
"Yes, Chief." His personal secretary breathed a sigh of relief, but asked again, "But Chief, why are we keeping an eye on them? Can't we just hand them over to the police and arrest them all? "
"… The police need evidence to arrest people." Huo Guanchen avoided talking about his true motives.
"They secretly took pictures of the Chief's whereabouts. They're already suspected of a felony …" Huo Guanchen's personal secretary said quietly.
"Let them." Huo Guanchen raised his hand nonchalantly. "What's there to be afraid of when they're so far away? Otherwise, why would they take the bait? You can leave. "
Huo Guanchen's personal secretary sighed and turned to leave Huo Guanchen's office.
After he left, Huo Guanchen looked up and stared blankly at the sofa area in the office.
…
December was a holiday in the West.
The days seemed to pass especially quickly.
It was going to be Christmas soon.
The Huaxia Imperial Capital was also decorated. "Jingle Bells" Christmas songs were played everywhere, and all kinds of Christmas decorations were sold like wildfire.
Santa Claus waved and smiled at passers-by at the entrance of the shops. The children couldn't help but come up to take photos.
Guo Huining had more photos in her hands.
She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the West Mountain Villa and looked at the photos of Song Jinning and a tall man going in and out of various shops to buy Christmas decorations. Her face was expressionless.
She only saw the man's back, and she knew who it was with a single glance.
It wasn't the first time. She realized that as long as Huo Guanchen was with Song Jinning, he would be perfunctory and lie to her.
However, if he wasn't with Song Jinning, Huo Guanchen was still quite good to her. He would pick up her call immediately. A while ago, she had something on her mind and was sick. In the end, Huo Guanchen put down his work and came to the West Mountain Villa to accompany her for two days.
Those two days were like a dream to her. However, as soon as she left, Huo Guanchen reverted to his old ways and frequently interacted with Song Jinning.
Guo Huining was so angry that her teeth itched. However, this kind of good and bad behavior made her unable to let go.
Her feelings for Huo Guanchen grew deeper and deeper. She knew she had no other choice.
After standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window for a long time, Guo Huining put on her coat and left the villa. She walked up the tree-lined path on the mountain.
As she walked, she turned on the Bluetooth headset connected to her phone.
Guo Huining heard herself say, "… Mr. Kevin, I agree to your conditions as long as you can make Song Jinning disappear."
