“Oh? You know so much about Shi Tian and the kidnapping. Could it be that… you are also related to this kidnapping case? Two days ago, Captain Liang asked me if there were any other suspicious people who might be involved in the kidnapping case. It seems that I have really missed someone.”

Boom!

An Ge felt as if he was struck by lightning. His heartbeat accelerated as he looked at Gu Qingchen in disbelief.

“Don’t spout nonsense. I have nothing to do with the kidnapping case. I’m not familiar with Shi Tian either. I’m just curious.”

An Ge’s expression changed drastically. Finally, he no longer looked like a savior. He was panicking. He was afraid that Gu Qingchen would call the police in the next second and say that he had something to do with the kidnapping case.

“Oh? You have nothing to do with it? Hehe, judging from your tone just now, I really thought that you were very familiar with this kidnapping case. Everyone wanted Shi Tian to be arrested, but you were the only one who interceded on his behalf. You’re really very suspicious. Previously, Captain Liang told me to pay more attention to the people around us in the next few days. Those who appear to be unrelated but come out to intercede are very suspicious.”

An Ge’s heart sank. He had already been able to pass Hongfeng’s interview, so he was already very calm. However, now that he was suspicious of involving the kidnapping, he naturally could not remain calm.

If he was not careful, he would be implicated by Shi Tian. He absolutely could not do such a thing.

“Qingchen, you might have misunderstood. I don’t really understand the situation. Shi Wei and I are friends, so I just asked some questions out of curiosity. The Shi family’s matters have nothing to do with me. And Shi Wei, she’s the one who keeps pestering me. Actually, the person I’ve always liked is you. Qingchen, you mustn’t misunderstand.” An Ge said without any shame. He didn’t even need to make a rough draft. It was disgusting to hear such words coming out of his mouth.

After listening to An Ge’s words, Gu Qingchen sneered. There was obvious disdain and contempt in her eyes as she said indifferently, “Hehe. Handsome, you’re no acting anymore? Why did you cut ties with Shi Wei so quickly? It’s not like you at all. Aren’t you worried that one day, Shi Wei will become rich and powerful again? Don’t you think it’s too rash to change the bet so early?”

Gu Qingchen understood An Ge’s thoughts too well. He always wanted to rely on women to get to the top. A man like him was pretty much useless.

After listening to Gu Qingchen’s words, An Ge’s face darkened. His thoughts were exposed by Gu Qingchen. He could not accept Gu Qingchen revealed his original dark side.

“Gu Qingchen, I know that you’ve always hated me for not being with you and choosing Shi Wei instead. But you don’t have to use such words to slander me. I have always relied on myself. Let me tell you, Hongfeng Elite School has already sent me an invitation. Do you know what this means? This meant that Hongfeng thought that I was a rare talent, so they sent me an invitation. I am not as bad as you said. Gu Qingchen, I misjudged you. You really disappoint me!”

His words were righteous and full of emotion. Unfortunately, the person listening was Gu Qingchen. How could she be moved by his words? She would only think that An Ge was a hypocrite.

“The girls in Hongfeng don’t have as low an IQ as Shi Wei, and the boys in Hongfeng are very outstanding. How could you still think that you can get a rich girl with your tiny bit of talent? Hehe, I wish you good luck.”

After saying that, Gu Qingchen took big strides and left without holding back. To deal with a person like An Ge, she needed to strike down his confidence, expose his true colors, and step on him ruthlessly.

An Ge stood there, his face gloomy and uncertain. He was completely different from his usual appearance. He no longer had the image of a warm and handsome man.

“Gu Qingchen, I will make you regret it! One day, you will beg to stay by my side.”

An Ge looked at Gu Qingchen’s back and swore fiercely in his heart.

He did not have any feelings for Shi Wei, but he still had feelings for Gu Qingchen. He had always thought that only someone with her family background and looked like her was worthy of him.

Originally, he had wanted to be with Gu Qingchen. Unfortunately, the Gu family was in decline, so he had no choice but to change his plan.

What he didn’t know was that Gu Qingchen had also received an invitation from Hongfeng. On the other side, Shi Wei was also planning to enter Hongfeng.

During the weekend, there were many people in the Hundred Herb Hall, including Xiang Yang, Wen Qing and the others. They were all here, waiting for Gu Qingchen’s orders.

“Have you all finished handing over your work?”

Gu Qingchen was asking Xiang Yang. Xiang Yang needed time to hand over his accounting work.

Xiang Yang nodded and said formally, “We have all handed our works. I’ve already left my job, and so have the other brothers. Ms. Gu, we’ll all listen to your orders.”

Little Bean agreed, “That’s right. My boss knew that I was going to quit. He asked me to stay a few times, but I directly rejected him. From now on, I will be at your service. Hehe.”

The others also nodded. Anyway, they had quit their jobs just because of Gu Qingchen’s words.

Gu Qingchen looked around at the crowd and nodded solemnly, “Since everyone trusts me so much, I won’t let you down. From today onwards, you are my people.”

Wen Qing looked a little haggard, but he was still in good spirits. He must have been tired from taking care of his wife and son.

“Benefactor, we still don’t understand what you mean. What do you want us to do?”

Ever since Gu Qingchen helped him, Wen Qing had saw Gu Qingchen as his benefactor and treated Gu Qingchen with extra respect.

“That’s right, I do have a plan and I need your support.”

Gu Qingchen was straightforward, and everyone listened carefully. “You’re all from City Y, and you know City Y very well. I want to buy some land, and I need your help.”

“Land? Ms. Gu, why did you want to buy that?”

In this era, many people had not realized the importance of land. Most of the houses that people lived in nowadays were allocated by the state.

Gu Qingchen had rebirth. She was very clear about the direction of the country’s development. If she could be at the top of the trend, she would be able to quickly establish her own power.

If she went to buy land now, in a few years, real estate would be very popular. When she had land in her hands, she could make a lot of money.

“You don’t need to care about this. You just need to pay more attention to whether there is any land to be sold in City Y. You have to keep this matter as secret and handled in a low-key manner. If there are any suitable lands, you can inform me. Especially pay attention to the suburbs. If there are agricultural land, that would be even better.”

Although the city was booming now, in another ten years or so, agricultural land would be the king. With land in their hands, they would not have to worry about anything.

But now, Gu Qingchen did not care about that. She just asked them to pay attention to the situation in the suburbs.

“Okay, that’s easy. We are all people in City Y, so we could get a lot of rumors. Oh, I know that there is a lot of empty land west of Xicheng District. I passed by it when I was driving a taxi. It’s quite desolate there.”

West of Xicheng District?

Gu Qingchen’s eyes lit up!
