Chapter 1226 I Won“t Betray His Trus

It appeared that if he wanted to leave this place… he would really have to think through it carefully.

—

It was actually Lin Che's first time at the so-called headquarters.

The headquarters was not the Gu Industries building. That was the place where Gu Jingze worked. But this place seemed more like a palace.

It was after going in that she realized that the facilities inside were very unique. There were many security and safety measures that looked very high-end.

Qin Hao followed alongside Lin Che and carefully briefed her. "This place already has more than a hundred years of history, so there are some old gothic elements in its architectural features. Back then, this area was occupied by Westerners. That's when we built the headquarters here. We've continued to use it until now. But the interior has been completely revamped."

From the outside, this place looked like a typical cafe, except that it occupied a very large area. Perhaps Lin Che had passed by it before and seen people outside taking wedding photographs with the building behind them as their background. She had thought that this place was probably a special building that had been used as a hotel in the past and was now under conservation. But she did not expect this place to be the headquarters of the Gu Industries.

"Madam, look. All the glass here is bulletproof glass. It can resist a very large degree of force. Some forms of artillery can't even break through it and get into the building. The regular operations of the headquarters are conducted upstairs. Downstairs… there's another private room reserved for the master's use. Now… since President Gu isn't around, you can use it too."

Lin Che looked at Qin Hao. "Assistant Qin, thank you for trusting me so much and telling me all this."

Qin Hao said, "Madam, President Gu has absolute trust in you. That's why we also have absolute trust in you. In the past, President Gu told us that if anything happened to the family… we should let you take over everything."

Lin Che looked at him. "Are you saying that Gu Jingze already told you this before?"

Qin Hao nodded. "I don't know whether he said this to the others. But he did tell me this directly. He said that I could hand all these matters over to you. President Gu has no secrets when it comes to you. Thus, I won't have secrets when it comes to you either."

Lin Che's heart twitched.

Qin Hao said, "Furthermore, look at the people under President Gu. All of them have absolute trust in you. You can rest assured. Since you're able to obtain their trust, it means that you're worthy of this trust. You won't disappoint President Gu."

Lin Che did feel a bit anxious inside. But it was not the time for her to feel anxious now.

She nodded and said to Qin Hao, "I'll try my best."

She asked, "At the moment, we haven't found Gu Jingze yet?"

Qin Hao said, "Given President Gu's wisdom, he will hide very well if he wishes to. It may not be very easy for us to find him. But the fact that there has been no bad news now means that President Gu has probably gone into hiding. I think you don't have to worry."

Could she really?

How could Lin Che possibly not worry?

But hearing him say this, she did indeed feel slightly comforted. She inhaled deeply. She felt that there were many things which she had yet to accomplish. This was really not the time for her to be occupied with her sadness.

Meanwhile.

Because something had happened back home all of a sudden, Gu Jingyu could not pick Su Wan up.

But he nevertheless sent his driver to Su Wan's place.

Su Wan was still in the dorms when she received the call. Over the phone, the driver said respectfully, "Miss Su, Mr Gu has send me to pick you up."

Su Wan asked, "Pick me up? Where are you now?"

"I'm already downstairs."

Seeing as she had not really gotten herself ready, Su Wan could only quickly start to tidy up now.

When her classmates returned to the dorm, they saw that she was packing her luggage.

"No way. Are you moving out?"

"Hn. I may not be staying here for the time being."

"The car downstairs… can't be here to pick you up, right?"

"Which… one?"

"Ah. Looks like it's really here to fetch you."

Her roommates looked at her. Their expressions immediately turned disdainful, but they continued putting up a front and saying envious words. "Seriously. Did you get a boyfriend? Good gracious, we're so envious of you. You managed to get a boyfriend so soon, and you're even going to live together right now."

"Precisely. He has such a great car. Your boyfriend must be very rich too."

Su Wan could not possibly miss their sarcasm. She ignored them and casually packed up. Then, she said, "I'll be leaving now."

She lifted her bags and went out hurriedly.

Her roommates scoffed.

"She must have gotten a sponsor."

"I saw. The person driving the car was an old man."

"Eh. I'm so jealous. I hate the situation. A new star in the film industry may just rise like this in the future."

"It's your fault for not looking for a man."

"I'm not that shameless, alright? Besides, I can't bring myself to sleep with that kind of old man either."

So many beautiful girls in school moved elsewhere after getting sponsors midway through school. It was no longer a strange sight to them.

It was all because there were many beautiful girls here. There were also many wealthy men with their eyes on this place for the precise purpose of finding women to keep as mistresses.

After going downstairs, Su Wan immediately left in the car.

When she arrived at the place, she saw that it was a stand-alone villa.

It was much bigger than the villa she had imagined. From afar, it looked like a courtyard. At the front, there were more than ten garages. She did not know if all of them had cars parked inside.

After coming downstairs, the butler said, "Miss Su, right? Third Young Master isn't here today. There are some things he has to settle at home. He has gone to deal with them. You can move in first. The room is ready and everything has been prepared. Third Young Master may come back tonight."

"Oh, thank you…"

Hearing that Gu Jingyu was not around, Su Wan heaved a huge sigh of relief. If they met now, she would not know how to face him.

After all… now, Gu Jingyu was unexpectedly the man who had "sponsored" her. He was her financial backer…

After going in, she saw that the room was massive. To her surprise, they had already helped her prepare many pieces of clothing. When she opened the closet, there was a bunch of clothes that looked incomparably luxurious, from pajamas to undergarments to outerwear. She was amazed for a moment.

Everyone said that the Gu family was different in C Nation. The reason why no one dared to provoke Gu Jingyu was not only because he was a superstar and an artist as precious as a national treasure. It was also because his family background was too robust.

She sat on the bed, which had a very nice texture. She stroked it gently, feeling uneasy. However, just then, she heard a sound from outside.

"Gu Jingyu, are you here? Are you here or not?"

Su Wan froze…

It was actually… Lin Che?

She hastily walked out. As expected, Lin Che had unexpectedly walked in.

She immediately saw Su Wan…

Lin Che herself froze.

"You…"

Su Wan felt a wave of guilt and shame.

She felt as if she had been caught in the act, leaving her with no place to hide.

"I'm sorry, Sister Che… Gu Jingyu and I… I didn't want to. If you want to hit me or scold me now… I'm fine with anything. Go ahead and hit me…"

"Me?" Lin Che stretched out her hand and pointed at herself. "Why should I hit you?"

"Aren't you and Gu Jingyu together in a relationship?" Su Wan asked.
