The finance director was at a loss on how to respond to Gu Yancheng’s instructions.

After a while, he figured that since Gu Yancheng was unconcerned about the arrival of the audit committee, there should be no problem.

Just like what Chairman Gu said, it was a good opportunity for his subordinates to learn from the auditors.

“Okay then, Chairman Gu. I will go back to my office.”

The finance director took a deep breath. He had yet to recover from his shock on learning about the news.

“Work hard and don’t worry about anything else.”

Gu Yancheng went back to his office. The mother of the fat boy went upstairs into his office.

She looked anxiously at Gu Yancheng. “Chairman Gu, is it true that you can bring my son’s murderer to justice?”

“That depends on what you want. Do you want her to go to jail, or do you want her to pay with her life?”

Gu Yancheng’s voice was light and casual.

The mother of the boy deduced that there were other ways to get even from his voice.

What other ways could there be?

Something was wrong. Why did Gu Yancheng ask her that?

“Chairman Gu, isn’t it natural for one to pay for taking a life with their own?”

Gu Yancheng let out a slight sigh. “You said she is the murderer, but do you have any proof? If you don’t, then how can you be so sure who is the murderer? You need definitive evidence for every case. You’re giving everyone in court baseless accusations. Words won’t be enough to convict the killer.”

“Then, what else can I do? I want her to die. She killed my son, so she deserves to die.”

The woman covered her face with her hands in anguish. Why did this happen to her and her son?

How was it fair for her son’s killer to carry on with life as if nothing happened?

How could she do that?

Why did her son have to die?

Why did some people have special privileges that ordinary folks like them did not seem to have?

The more she thought about it, the more indignant she felt.

“Are you really willing to kill her? Do you really want her dead?”

Gu Yancheng poured the woman a glass of tea and placed it in front of her.

The woman looked up at Gu Yancheng with her tear-stained eyes. “Yes, of course! If it’s possible, I want the woman who caused my son’s death to die. Even if I have to die with her, I still want her to pay with her life.”

Gu pretended to be moved by her words. “You’re a wonderful mother.”

After a long pause, Gu Yancheng reached out his hand and touched his arm.

Blood had oozed out from the gauze on his arm and was now slowly spreading across the fabric.

“Alas, what is the use in trying anymore? He’s no longer around!”

Gu asked the woman again, “Are you sure you want to kill her?”

The woman nodded. “Yes, I do.”

Gu Yancheng then asked, “Are you willing to go to jail for that?”

The woman nodded. “Yes.”

“Very well, I will arrange everything. Wait for my news in the meantime.”

The woman nodded her head profusely.

Gu Yancheng’s lips slowly curled into a sinister smile. Lu Qingxin, you made me lose everything.

From now on, I’ll take everything from you, including your life.

“Thank you, Chairman Gu.”

Gu Yancheng shook his head and pretended to rub his forehead as though he was in a fix. “I used to have a very cute son in the past too, but he was locked in a car under the scorching summer son by an evil woman. He suffocated to death in the car…”

The woman cupped her hands over her mouth in shock. “I’m sorry, I never knew.”
