Gu Shao woke up with a start from the dream. His eyes were still filled with terrifying anger and grief.
In the dream, Gu Xi had been imprisoned by the Lin people and used as a hostage. In the dream, on a rainy night, Gu Xi had fallen lifelessly in front of him and ended up dead.
Even though he knew that none of this had happened, Gu Shao still found it hard to calm down from the overly realistic dream experience.
Gu Shao recalled the dream that Gu Xi had told him about.
Perhaps, this was the dream that had once terrified Gu Xi.
Gu Shao wasn't sure if Gu Xi had also experienced this dream and escaped from the Lin people to find him.
However, at this moment, Gu Shao was glad that the girl had found him.
After a long time, Gu Shao gradually calmed down and recovered from the effects of the dream. However, when he recalled the scenes in the dream, Gu Shao's heart still ached.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door.
"Come in," Gu Shao said in a low voice.
Xu Fei, who was at the door, was stunned. He carefully pushed the door open and entered the office, only to see their CEO lying on the sofa. He was sitting up with his head lowered and rubbing between his eyebrows. He didn't know if he was feeling unwell or something else, but the room was frighteningly cold.
Xu Fei carefully inched over.
Gu Shao's head was still lowered and he didn't see who it was.
When he heard footsteps approaching, Gu Shao asked, "Are Xixi and that brat here?"
Gu Shao's voice was filled with dissatisfaction.
When he first found out that Gu Xi was dating that bastard, Sheng Xiuyan, Gu Shao didn't directly force them to break up. However, he didn't hide his dissatisfaction and Sheng Xiuyan's disdain for him either.
At first, even he thought that after being rejected a few times, the impulse between the two would fade. Who would have thought that under Gu's "pressure," that brat actually persisted?
In the past three years, Gu Xi had always turned a blind eye to the relationship between Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan.
Fortunately, the two of them were well-behaved and did not do anything out of line.
In the end, that brat was so bold that he dared to stay out all night with Gu Xi!
Even if it was just a school tour, he still couldn't tolerate it!
Hearing Gu Shao's words, Xu Fei was dumbfounded.
"Xixi?" Who was Xixi? He never knew that there was someone with the word 'Xi' beside the president.
Also, who was the 'brat' he was referring to? Why did he feel that the CEO's tone was filled with disdain and displeasure when he mentioned this name?
Hearing Xu Fei's voice, Gu Shao realized that something was wrong. Half a year ago, he sent Xu Fei to S City to be in charge of the branch there. He shouldn't be here now.
"Why are you here?"
"Huh?" Xu Fei was stunned. He secretly wondered if the CEO was in a daze.
Xu Fei thought for a moment and reminded him, "Yesterday, during the final test of the SCNN-1 project, you and the project team worked overtime until almost one o 'clock in the morning to complete the final test. Because it was too late, you directly rested in the office."
"Office?"
Hearing Xu Fei's words, Gu Shao raised his head and looked around. Only then did he realize that he was not in his own room, but NTN's office.
The style and layout of the office made Gu Shao feel a little different. Last year, in order to make an office space for Gu Xi, the small conference room next door and the layout of his office were adjusted a little. The overall style of the office was also brighter. Now, it felt more like it was a long time ago.
Also, didn't the SCNN-1 project already go on the market a few years ago? If he remembered correctly, the 13th chip of the SCNN series was released last month.
Gu Shao realized that something was wrong. He looked at Xu Fei next to him. Fang also looked a little younger than he remembered.
Gu Shao frowned deeply. He quietly looked for the phone next to him and checked the date. The time displayed on it was actually eight years ago!
"Pre- CEO?"
"Do you have the documents from the past few days?"
"Yes, there are a few that you signed." Xu Fei found it strange, but he still handed a few documents to Gu Shao.
Gu Shao flipped open the documents. The date on the signature was indeed eight years ago.
— — What is going on?
Did he realize that he was back eight years ago? Or did he enter a parallel universe?
Gu Shao did not believe that something so inconceivable could not be explained by science. However, if he did not show it, it would not have happened.
Gu Shao began to quickly organize the current situation in his mind.
Xu Fei did not know what Gu Shao was thinking. When he saw his boss holding the documents with furrowed brows, he thought that there was something wrong with the documents. He was nervous and did not dare to say anything.
Suddenly, Gu Shao thought of something. He raised his head and looked at Xu Fei.
"Did a fourteen-year-old girl come looking for me?" Gu Shao asked. There was a sense of urgency in his voice that could not be ignored.
"A girl? Looking for you? "Xu Fei was even more confused. He shook his head without hesitation." No. "
There were many people who came looking for their CEO to discuss projects, but there was definitely no fourteen-year-old girl.
Gu Shao's frown deepened. — — Previously, Gu Xi had come here at this time. Just a few days ago, Gu Xi should have found this place. At the time, he had something to do at the last minute, so he had temporarily left the girl in Xu Fei's care. But Xu Fei actually said no.
Could it be that in this world, Xixi did not come looking for him?
Thinking of that dream, Gu Shao suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart.
— —
Seeing Gu Shao suddenly stand up from the sofa, Xu Fei was shocked.
Before Xu Fei could say anything, Gu Shao had already picked up his phone and walked quickly to the door. He did not even have time to put on his jacket.
Xu Fei quickly chased after him. "CEO, are you going out?"
"I'm going to take care of some things. You don't have to follow me." After a pause, Gu Shao said, "Tell the driver to wait for me downstairs."
"Okay, okay. Where are you going?"
"Lin."
Gu Shao coldly said these two words and entered the elevator, leaving Xu Fei confused.
Lin? Which Lin?
— —
After leaving NTN, Gu Shao did not go directly to Lin. Instead, he called Wang Wu, Wang Lu, and the others over.
Gu Shao told them all the things they had investigated. These were all things he had asked Wang Wu and the others to investigate about Lin and how Lin Ke treated "Lin Xi" in the previous world. Now, they had found evidence.
"Confirm Lin Xi's situation in Lin. Also, give me the evidence as soon as possible." Gu Shao ordered.
"Yes." Wang Lu and the others answered in unison, but they could not hide the strange look in their eyes. This was the first time Mr. Gu had told them all the questions they were investigating so clearly and pointed to the questions with the answers.
Wang Lu vaguely felt that something was wrong. He could not help but ask, "Sir, that girl is …?"
Almost all the questions Mr. Gu had asked them to investigate revolved around Lin and the girl named "Lin Xi".
Gu Shao did not beat around the bush and said directly, "My daughter."
Wang Lu and the others were shocked.
— —
Since there was already a clear result to guide the investigation, the people who went down this time were able to verify it very quickly.
In less than half a day, a thick stack of documents was handed to Gu Shao.
Taking the documents, Gu Shao went to Lin without hesitation.
This was the second time Gu Shao had stepped into Lin in both worlds.
However, it was different from the previous "visit". This time, he was invited into Lin. Seeing Lin Yize coming down from upstairs, Gu Shao stepped forward and punched him.
With a "bang", Lin Yize fell backward on the coffee table behind him, accompanied by Song Xin and Xu Jiaofeng's exclamations.
Lin Yize was obviously stunned by Gu Shao's punch, and his hypocritical smile froze on his face.
Before he could speak, Gu Shao kicked him a few times as if he did not understand.
Gu Shao only stopped when Lin Yize's servant reacted and stepped forward to stop him.
Lin Yize climbed up from the bed in a sorry state and shouted at Gu Shao without thinking, "Damn it, what are you doing?"
"I'm venting my father's anger," Gu Shao said coldly.
Lin Yize wanted to continue cursing, but when he heard the word "father", he was stunned.
"What do you mean?" Lin Yize's expression froze. He frowned and asked Gu Shao.
Gu Shao did not waste any time and said bluntly, "Lin Xi is my daughter."
This sentence was completely in the tone of a statement.
Lin Yize was dumbfounded.
Of course, he knew that Lin Xi was the daughter his wife gave birth to after having an affair with Gu Shao. He even planned to use Lin Xi to threaten Gu Shao to do things for him at the right time.
But how did Gu Shao know?
Lin Yize was terrified, but he pretended to be surprised and retorted, "President Gu, you must be mistaken. Lin Xi is our child. I gave birth to her while I was with my wife. There was no mistake at that time. How could she be your daughter?"
After saying that, Lin Yize snorted coldly, "I've never heard of President Gu having a child. Even if you do, you should go to the police station, not me."
His words seemed reasonable, but Gu Shao did not waste any time talking nonsense with him. He threw a stack of documents in front of Lin Yize and Song Xin.
"I don't think I need to explain what these are."
These were evidence that Lin Yize had tried to abandon Lin Xi several times over the years and put Lin Xi in danger. He had even forged Lin Xi's organ donation application and almost made Lin Xi and Song Xin exchange lungs. It was exactly the same as what Gu Shao had thrown in front of Lin Ren in the modern world. The difference was that Lin Xi had been sent to Zhang Qiang's house in the countryside and had almost been forced by Zhang Qiang. In the end, she had accidentally burned down Zhang Qiang's house in order to protect herself.
Lin Ren's expression when he saw this was exactly the same as before.
Wang Lu and the others stood behind Gu Shao, their eyes full of doubt. When Sir had asked them to investigate this, they had been puzzled. How did Sir know all this? But now, looking at Lin Ren's expression, it was obvious that all these things were true.
Song Xin and Xu Jiaofeng were already frightened, but Lin Yize was still persevering.
"I really don't understand why President Gu took out these things. Even if we didn't take good care of that child, that's our Lin Family's business. It seems to have nothing to do with President Gu."
Gu Shao looked at him coldly. "Do you need me to take Lin Xi to do another paternity test?"
Even if they went to the legal stage, with the paternity test between him and Xixi, and Lin Xi's actions over the years, the only one who would win the lawsuit would be Gu Shao.
Lin Yize was speechless for a moment. After a moment of silence, he suddenly sneered. "So what if that's the case? That child is just a product of our imagination. Furthermore, Lin Xi is related to us by blood, but she was also given birth to by my wife. We don't agree to suddenly appear and try to snatch the child away. "
Lin Yize's attitude was firm, but Gu Shao's was even more firm.
"I'll take her away today. You'd better cooperate, or else …"
"Or else what?"
Gu Shao narrowed his eyes and slowly recounted how Lin Yize had personally killed someone during the fight and even tried to make Song Shishan take the blame.
After hearing this, Lin Yize's expression changed drastically. "You're slandering me!"
"How do you think I found out?"
Gu Shao's rhetorical question successfully shut Lin Yize's mouth. Gu Shao wasn't involved in that incident. If Gu Shao knew about it, it meant that he had some evidence.
Suddenly, Lin Yize felt a chill run down his spine. That incident was his deepest secret. Once it was discovered, he would be finished!
Song Xin, who knew some of the truth, also lost all color in her face at this moment.
The atmosphere was in a deadlock.
—
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.
The person who came in was Lin Xi, who had just finished school. Today was the school day for several kinds of small groups. Normally, the students would end school a little later, but because of the rumors, no one wanted to be in the same group as her, so she simply left early.
When she saw that Lin Yize, Song Xin, and the others were all there, and there seemed to be some people she didn't know, Lin Xi felt a little apprehensive. At this moment, the obviously strange atmosphere made Lin Xi hesitate to enter.
On the other side, Gu Shao immediately saw Lin Xi push open the door and enter.
When he saw that Lin Xi was fine, Gu Shao finally breathed a sigh of relief. His heart was filled with excitement, as if he had just regained something he had lost.
— Fortunately.
At this time, although Lin Xi looked the same as when he first found him, a little thin and small, and there was a little injury on his forehead that was probably caused by Zhang Qiang that had not yet healed, overall, his condition was still good. His pair of tea-colored eyes were still bright, and there was a strong spirit in them.
She wasn't as broken and broken as she was in his dream.
When she sensed that someone was walking towards her, Lin Xi was stunned for a moment. When she raised her head and saw the person's face clearly, Lin Xi was puzzled for a moment, and then her eyes suddenly widened.
"I know!" Lin Xi was a little excited as she pointed at Gu Shao. "It's Gu Shao! The person in charge of NTN, no! "
— Gu Shao, the big boss of the electronic technology field! He was one of the people she admired the most! She still had a book in her bag that Gu Shao had written about the future of electronic technology.
But why did this person come to see her? Also, she felt that the atmosphere wasn't so good.
Although she was excited, Lin Xi's heart was full of questions.
Seeing the girl's excited face, as if she had seen her idol, Gu Shao smiled gently. Then, he leaned over slightly and looked at Lin Xi at eye level.
"It's me." After a pause, Gu Shao said, "I'm your biological father."
The Lin Xi of this world obviously didn't know about her background, so when she heard Gu Shao's words, her jaw almost dropped in shock.
"Yes, yes —" Lin Xi subconsciously took half a step back.
"You're my father?"
"Yes."
"…" Lin Xi found it difficult to accept this sudden "truth" for a moment. To be precise, she couldn't digest it.
However, when she looked at Gu Shao's eyes, Lin Xi subconsciously felt that he wasn't lying to her.
Moreover, when she looked closer, Lin Xi realized that the person in front of her really looked like her, and the color of their eyes was the same.
It was no wonder that when Lin Xi saw Gu Shao's photo in the news, she felt an indescribable sense of familiarity.
"No, I didn't find you earlier," Gu Shao said Lin Xi.
This sentence was said by the Lin Xi of every world.
He was the one who didn't find her earlier, causing her to suffer so much and causing him to miss out on her growth.
When she heard Gu Shao suddenly apologize to her, Lin Xi was shocked and shook her head nervously.
"Is it really my father?" Lin Xi asked again.
"Yes."
"Then …"
"I'm here to take you away from here and live with you, Dad, okay?" Gu Shao asked in an inquiring tone.
Lin Xi was silent for a few seconds.
If it had been in the past, she might have rejected Gu Shao. After all, this father who had suddenly appeared was just a stranger to her. However, when she recalled the terrifying memories of being sent to Zhang Village, Lin Xi yearned for Gu Shao's words.
"Then …" After hesitating for two seconds, Lin Xi asked Gu Shao, "Will you raise me well? It won't be long before I become an adult. "
This sentence was very similar to what this girl had said when she tugged on his sleeve at the company.
Gu Shao suddenly found it funny.
However, he heard Lin Xi say, "If so, I will repay you in the future."
"Yes." It was fine as long as she didn't mention anything about buying the tomb.
"Okay then." Lin Xi nodded.
"It's their side …" Lin Xi looked uncertainly at Lin Yize and the others.
"I will take care of it."
It was fine as long as this girl agreed to leave with him.
Gu Shao turned to look at Lin Yize and the others again. When they met Gu Shao's gaze, their faces were obviously bleak.
"Give you all one day to prepare. Tomorrow, I will personally come to deal with the matter of changing the child's guardian." After saying this coldly, Gu Shao left Wang Lu and the others here to "cooperate" with Lin Xi to make preparations.
Even if she was unwilling, Lin Yize had no choice but to let Gu Shao have the evidence of life and death.
— —
Gu Shao brought Lin Xi to the house that the two of them lived in in the Modern World.
Stepping into an unfamiliar house, Lin Xi was a little nervous.
"Don't be afraid, this place will be yours from now on," Gu Shao said gently to Lin Xi.
Then, Gu Shao introduced the layout of the house to Gu Xi, as well as the use of each room.
"This is your room." Gu Shao brought Lin Xi to her room.
Gu Shao had ordered people to decorate it in a day. It was exactly the same as Gu Xi's room in the Modern World. However, due to the lack of time, there were still some things that needed to be added slowly.
Lin Xi was very surprised when she saw her room.
The room was decorated very warmly, as if it was specially prepared for a girl. Moreover, the layout made her feel very comfortable.
"Was this … specially prepared for me?" Lin Xi looked at Gu Shao, but did not ask the rest of her question.
Perhaps because she had experienced some things, the current Lin Xi was not as bold as when she came to find Gu Shao in the Modern World. She even seemed to be a little restrained.
Gu Shao smiled at Lin Xi.
At this moment, Aunt Mei came out of the bathroom with cleaning tools.
"Sir, it's basically cleaned up."
"This is Xiao Xi, right?"
"Yes," Gu Shao responded and introduced her to Lin Xi. "This is Aunt Mei, so you can call her Grandma Mei. She was invited from Grandpa to help take care of you."
Looking at the kind-looking Grandma in front of her, Lin Xi said softly, "Grandma Mei, hello."
At the same time, she was very curious about "Grandpa" that Gu Shao mentioned.
A smile flashed across Gu Shao's eyes. Lin Xi said, "We still have Grandpa, Eldest Uncle, Eldest Aunt, Youngest Uncle, Gu Yanlin, Gu Yanxiao, and Gu Chenyi. Gu Chenyi is younger than us by three days."
"Get used to it first. In a few days, I'll bring Master Gu's residence to visit Grandpa and the others."
"They're looking forward to meeting you." Whether it was in the Modern World or in her dreams.
"Okay …" Lin Xi responded softly, but she was very nervous.
Lin Xi entered her room and began to pack the things she had brought. Gu Shao instructed Aunt Mei to make Xu Xianshi and Gu Xi's favorite dishes.
— —
The procedures for the change of guardian were completed very quickly. After completing the preliminary procedures, Gu Shao immediately brought Lin Xi to register her household register and changed her name.
"This is your new name." Gu Shao pointed at the two words on the household register. "Gu Shao means' Gu 'and' Xi 'means' cherish '."
Finally, 'Lin Xi' became 'Gu Xi'.
Although Gu Xi didn't say it, she liked her new name very much. She especially liked the way Gu Shao said the word 'cherish'.
— —
Gu Xi lived in this new house for a few days and finally got used to the new environment. However, she still felt a little restrained when facing Gu Shao.
Looking at the present Gu Shao gave her, Gu Xi bit her lower lip and hesitated to accept it.
This' Dad 'of hers was very nice to her. He was so nice that he was meticulous. However, the more he was like this, the more uneasy Gu Xi felt.
"You really don't have to give me anything," Gu Xi said softly. Gu Shao had already given her enough. If he gave her another present, she would feel guilty.
After all, he had watched her grow up. How could Gu Shao not see through Gu Xi's thoughts? He smiled.
"Open it first and see what it is. If you don't like it, then don't accept it," Gu Shao said.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xi hesitated and opened the gift box.
To her surprise, it wasn't a gift of toys or expensive jewelry. Instead, it was a complete set of teaching materials. There were also a few basic technical books that were hard to buy!
— — She liked it!
However, how did Gu Shao know what she was thinking?!
Gu Xi looked at Gu Shao with a face full of emotions. "How did you know?"
The smile on Gu Shao's face widened. "Because I'm your Dad. Of course I know."
After saying this, Gu Shao raised his hand and rubbed Gu Xi's head.
In the modern world, Gu Xi had grown up. Gu Shao naturally couldn't touch her head casually like a child. This time, he was reliving the good times of the past.
This time, Gu Xi stiffened for a moment, but she didn't avoid it.
The warmth of Gu Shao's palm made her feel very at ease.
— —
After Gu Xi got used to it, Gu Shao sent her to Old Master Gu's place.
When Gu Xi arrived, Old Master Gu's behavior was exactly the same as in the modern world.
Not long after, a sycamore tree was also planted in front of Old Master Gu's residence in this world.
After settling Gu Xi in, Gu Shao began to focus on dealing with Lin and Xie Hongbo's matter.
With his previous experience, Gu Shao made it much easier to punish Lin Yize, Gu Yaobai, and Xie Hongbo this time. At the same time, he was also much more ruthless.
Using the evidence he had, Gu Shao swiftly and decisively destroyed Lin and Sun's business and sent the three of them to prison.
Because Gu Shao had submitted a lot of evidence this time, Xie Hongbo's sentence was much heavier than in the modern world.
The difference was that Lin and Gu Yaobai's business involved a lot of illegal transactions. This time, Gu Shao sent the two of them to Country Q's prison.
Country Q's prison was different from China's. Country Q's prison was both heaven and hell.
It would be too easy for them to die. This time, he would let them know what it meant to live in a state worse than death.
In the study, the phone rang. It was Wang Lu calling.
"Sir, Song Xin has lost her mind."
"Is that so?" Gu Shao sneered. "Then send her to the mental hospital."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Shao looked at the picture on the table again. It was a picture of Gu Ren a few days ago. His gaze became distant.
Recently, Gu Shao would occasionally feel dizzy and dazed. It was hard to explain, but he could feel that he might not be able to stay in this world for too long. Perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, he would be pulled out of this world very soon.
This kind of feeling became more and more obvious in the next few days.
On the last day, Gu Shao locked himself in the study.
After he left, the original "Gu Shao" in this body should wake up.
Gu Shao was not sure if the other "him" knew what had happened in the past six months or if he would retain the memory of this short period of time.
Opening the book in front of him, Gu Shao put a picture of Gu Xi alone in it and left a message for "himself" next to it: [This is my baby daughter. Love her well.]
And the first thing he did when he arrived in the modern world was to let Song Xin have a taste of everything that "Lin Xi" had experienced in the dream. In the past few years, he had let Song Xin recuperate in the hospital after the artificial lung transplant. She had been living a good life.
As for the second thing, it was to break a certain bastard's leg!
…
After a moment of dizziness, "Gu Shao" slowly opened his eyes on the chair. At this moment, the gentleness in his eyes was gone, replaced by coldness and seriousness.
"Gu Shao's" gaze fell on the book in front of him. He saw the girl's picture and the line of words. The handwriting was his, but it was not written by him.
In the next second, vague memories began to emerge in "Gu Shao's" mind.
At this moment, the door of the study was pushed open. A girl ran in and jumped in front of him. "Dad, it's time to eat."
