My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy

Chapter 73: 73 He Dug Another Pit_1

I questioned angrily.

“She said she thought it was a maintenance worker from the property management company. Because there was a leak on the terrace, she had reported it to them before. But now that she thinks about it, something is off! She admitted she spotted a stranger just now in court. The property management company also sent someone and confirmed that they had indeed scheduled a repair, but not at night, they planned to come the next day.”

I was furious.

Because even if Wu Jun was lying, it looked flawless.

At this point, I vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a problem with the terrace leaking…

“Why has Wu Jun been released? What if she’s the killer?”

Wenya was furious.

After all the trouble of capturing Wu Jun, she was inexplicably set free. Wenya did not understand.

Su Peisheng shrugged.

“Apparently, Ye Mengyan bailed her out with one million.”

I sneered after hearing him,

“How could Ye Mengyan possibly have one million! It must be the handiwork of Gu Yuanzhou.”

Wenya asked, “So there’s absolutely no way now?”

“No, we just have to wait for the police’s results.”

Su Peisheng shrugged again.

“Geez, you’re useless, a lawyer who can’t even win a case!”

Wenya began to taunt Su Peisheng again.

Su Peisheng got a little angry,

“Can you stop trash talking? The case isn’t even over yet! Please, can you talk based on facts.”

“I’m the brainless one? It’s clearly you who is brainless, alright? How can you be so harsh and talk so rudely!”

Before anyone realized it, Wenya and Su Peisheng were quarrelling again.

The calmest person was Ding Yinuo. He sat leaning against the car window, his eyes deep and thoughtful. After a long while, he spoke.

“Don’t panic! The truth will reveal itself, sooner or later.”

After seeing Su Peisheng and the others off.

Ding Yinuo drove me to the company.

Actually, I had driven too. Gu Yuanzhou had given me a BMW. So, the two of us drove into the underground parking lot of the adjacent office building, one leading, the other following.

He parked his car very synchronously next to mine, then got out and leaned towards my car window to look at me.

“Hm?”

“Anything else?”

Ding Yinuo gave me a deep look,

“Stay calm! Don’t get yourself into any more trouble.”

“I know!”

After getting out of the car, I locked it.

Ding Yinuo walked with me for a couple of steps, seemingly wanting to say something, but in the end, he didn’t.

Only when I was about to get on the elevator did he say,

“Gu Yuanzhou probably saw us together earlier. You should think of a way to handle it. If he starts targeting you, you can quit and come to our company.”

“I know, goodbye!”

I waved my hand, and pressed the close button.

Ding Yinuo didn’t leave immediately, he just stood there, watching as elevator door slowly closed.

After I entered the company, I found everything was quiet.

Maybe it was because Annie had been fired.

A new wave of rumors spread through the company. I overheard a few female co-workers discussing while I was getting tea in the break room.

“I’ll tell you, President Gu dotes on his new assistant so much that he even fired Annie for her.”

“Yeah, yeah! I saw it with my own eyes! Annie has been plaguing us for years, it was so satisfying seeing her fired.”

“Yeah, she once took a liking to my four-leaf clover necklace and just took it without asking.”

“Last time it was her birthday, she wanted a camera that cost over forty thousand. She made us chip in for it as a gift. I spent two months’ worth of savings.”

“What do you guys think the assistant’s relationship is with President Gu?”

“Hehe, there’s no need to guess, it’s definitely *that* kind of relationship. Haven’t you noticed? She’s worked at our company for half a year without any notable progress, and yet, as soon as Mrs. Gu passes away, she’s promoted.”

“Ah, I heard that President Gu bought her a house and a car recently. From now on, she’s the queen of our company. We should really start sucking up to her.”

The conversation got more and more absurd, so I had to reveal myself.

I coughed lightly.

The female employees in the break room all stood up, greeting me one after another.

“Hello, Assistant Song!”

“Assistant Song, there are coffee beans over here that are really fragrant when freshly ground. Would you like a cup?”

“Assistant Song, I just bought some roasted chestnuts from outside. Would you like some?”

Seeing their flattering faces, I could well imagine how much exploitation they must have suffered from Annie.

I shook my head with a smile,

“Thank you all, but I don’t need anything. Please get back to work!”

I wasn’t Annie; I didn’t like to exploit others for personal gain.

Nor did I appreciate nepotism.

What I needed was a good cooperative atmosphere and harmonious relationships with my colleagues at the company.

That way, work would be more efficient.

After brewing the coffee, I brought it to Gu Yuanzhou’s office.

At that moment, Gu Yuanzhou was talking to Lawyer Zhou Chenming, discussing something.

It was probably about today’s case.

I didn’t go in, but listened from afar.

“President Gu, as long as the real culprit is not found, you will always be a suspect!”

“That’s not a problem! If the doubts are on me, then the public will keep an eye on me. This way, the company will always be in the limelight. Sometimes, even negative attention is still attention.”

“Should we hire a private detective to investigate this maintenance worker?”

“Wu Jun already stated that she only saw a silhouette moving towards the terrace and avoiding the cameras. Although we did call for a maintenance worker, he never showed. So, that silhouette wasn’t the maintenance worker, but the killer. But he could be anyone, so it’s hard to investigate.”

Gu Yuanzhou’s analysis was logical and strategical.

“I’m just worried that some ill-intentioned people will incite the negative attention to harm you physically! So, should we add more bodyguards?”

Gu Yuanzhou took out a cigarette from his pack, fiddled with it in his hand for a while, and said,

“No need for bodyguards!”

“President Gu!”

Zhou Chenming was obviously very worried.

“I said, no need for bodyguards…alright then, you can go. Keep an eye on the police’s movements recently, and notify me as soon as a suspect is found.”

“Understood!”

Zhou Chenming packed up his stuff and walked out.

At the door, I smiled and nodded to him, he also nodded back in acknowledgment.

I walked into the president’s office, placing the coffee in front of Gu Yuanzhou.

Gu Yuanzhou raised his head to look at me, his dark eyes staring at me for a long time.

At this time, I had already prepared my response in case he asked me why I was with Ding Yinuo — but…

However, he didn’t bring up the issue. Instead, he calmly said to me:

“By the way, get ready. There will be a guest coming to see you.”

A guest?

What guest?

Just as I paused in surprise, footsteps echoed from behind me.

Turning around, I saw a middle-aged couple walking towards me. The woman slapped me,

“You rascal, how could you go this long without calling me?!”
