Chapter 263: Mesmerize Him_1


    When I heard the doorbell ring, there was a momentary panic in my heart.<div>


    I was also worried that Gu Yuanzhou would wake up from his dream.


    I walked over to the window, gently lifted a corner of the curtain, and saw a strange middle-aged woman dressed as a maid standing outside.


    I deliberately opened my cor, unzipped my waist, messed up my hair, and thenzily opened the door just a finger’s width.


    Blocking the crack so that she couldn’te in, my voice also sounded decidedly impatient.


    “Who is it?”


    The middle-aged woman replied respectfully,<div>


    “I am the maid here… I came to clean!”


    Seeing the fear in her eyes, I knew she was easy to deceive.


    I’ve seen that look many times before.


    As long as I keep up my fa?ade, I can control the situation.


    I pretended to look inside for a moment, then turned back to the maid,


    “Ah, Gu Yuanzhou isn’t dressed right now, it’s not convenient… why don’t youe back tomorrow?”


    “Oh, okay, okay!”


    As expected, she was easily persuaded to leave with just a few words.


    After she left, I quickly shut the door tight.


    After adjusting my clothes, I returned to the couch, where Gu Yuanzhou was still deep in sleep.


    I picked up his phone again and went through the information on it.


    Then I took a picture of Song Zexi’s location and left the Maple Mansion in a hurry<div>


    Half an hourter, I arrived at an abandoned factory.


    In the smallest room inside, I found Song Zexi, who had been tied up…


    Song Zexi was tied up hands behind his back on the dirty floor, blindfolded, and gagged with tape.


    When he heard my footsteps, he nced nervously at me. I hurriedlyforted him,


    “Mr. Song, I’m here to save you. Don’t make a sound. The security guard has gone to the toilet.”


    When Song Zexi saw me, he looked astounded.


    However, he cooperated well and didn’t make a noise. I took out a pair of scissors and cut the rope on his hand, then quickly exited through the back door with him.


    It wasn’t until we had left the factory and hopped into a taxi that I was able to breathe a sigh of relief.


    We didn’t stop at all along the way.


    I knew that the effects of the drug wouldn’tst long, and the rope around his wrist wouldn’t keep Gu Yuanzhou restrained for too long.


    If Song Zexi went back to the Song family now, he would likely be attacked by Gu Yuanzhou again.


    After he got out of the car and saw the vast sea, Song Zexi hurriedly shook his head,<div>


    “I don’t want to leave A city, I need to go home!”


    “Mr. Song, I want to know, how did Gu Yuanzhou manage to kidnap you?”


    This question brought a look of anger to Song Zexi’s face that he could not conceal.


    “That man is simply a scum,st time he promised to meet in a restaurant to discuss business. But he set up an ambush, and after speaking less than three sentences, he kidnapped me. He is a hooligan who does not y by the rules. Be careful when dealing with him.”


    I nudged the conversation further,


    “So, you should have realized by now. Gu Yuanzhou is not the same as before, he is ruthless now, and you would only be safe if you leave A city.”


    Waving his hands around, Song Zexi vented his frustrations.


    “I won’t go, I won’t run! Gu Yuanzhou is just a petty man, everyone in A City needs to know that he obtained Huaxin Group through despicable means. I won’t let him have his way. I intend to get back what he took from Huaxin Group.”


    It was typical of youthful passion,Song Zexi couldn’t swallow his pride.


    I was much more calm than he was.


    I also knew very well that being angry was pointless now.


    You have to be one step ahead of Gu Yuanzhou to have a chance at winning.<div>


    “Mr. Song, forgive me for being blunt, but times have changed… The Song family can’tpare to the Gu family anymore. Now that you have lost Huaxin Group, what you need to protect is the Song family itself. Aunt Wu’s health isn’t good, she can’t stand the shock. Why don’t you take her abroad for a while, ande back when things have calmed down?”


    “Impossible! How can the Song family be inferior to the Gu family? Gu Yuanzhou is nothing but a stray dog, what can he achieve?”


    “Mr. Song!”


    “If it weren’t for my blind father supporting him, could he seed? He’s just a viin being overbearing!”


    Perhaps Song Zexi never dreamed that the Song family would fall to such an extent.


    He couldn’t ept that someone he once looked down upon had climbed up on his shoulders.


    He still thought he could turn the tables.


    “I still have a chance of winning, didn’t I give you the scandalous information? I will hold a press conference tomorrow to expose Gu Yuanzhou’s countless evil deeds. I’ll make sure his reputation is shattered, I don’t believe he can continue to be arrogant?”


    I tried my best, but I still couldn’t persuade him.


    So I tried another method.


    “Let’s do it this way! Aunt Wu’s health is not good, she’s been telling me recently that she wants to go to Wu Mountain Temple to pray for blessings for the Song family and for your father’s safe return. Why don’t you go with her today? I’m afraid that Gu Yuanzhou will intercept the scandalous information you gave me, so I’ve already sent it out in batches. You can’t get it now. And when youe back from Wu Mountain Temple, I’ll arrange these ns for you.”


    “Alright then!”<div>


    Maybe, out of gratitude for me saving him, he epted my arrangement.


    Maybe the drug worked well, and at this time Gu Yuanzhou had not woken up yet, Song Zexi made a call to Wu Lijuan.


    Wu Lijuan quickly rushed over.


    Seeing both of them board the express train to Wu Mountain Temple, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    Wu Mountain Temple is somewhat far from here, and they wouldn’t be back until three dayster.


    I went back to Xishan Residence to change clothes, and then made a call to Shen Yishu.


    Half an hourter, Shen Yishu arrived. It was exactly nine o’clock in the morning…


    Previously, I had asked Shen Yishu to investigate Gu Yuanzhou’s cohort of friends.


    The results should be in by now.


    Shen Yishu parked his car directly at the entrance. I crossed my arms and waited for him at the door.


    Seeing him getting out of the car, I pointed at the second-hand car and said,


    “Boss Shen, time to get a new car!”<div>


    Pushing up his sses, Shen Yishu replied with a sincere smile,


    “What kind of car does Miss Song like?”


    “Why ask me what kind of car I like? It’s not my car, I’m talking about you! With your current status, you could definitely afford an Audi!”


    “I don’t care, if I need to buy a new car to pick you up, I’m willing to switch!”


    “Shen Yishu, you’re impressive! Your words are bing smoother and more ttering!”


    “That’s right, how could I live up to your trust in me if I don’t make progress!”


    Actually, given Shen Yishu’s current capacity, he could well afford a luxury car, but that’s a story for another day. The matter I asked him to discuss today is very important.


    After stepping inside, he handed me a stack of documents,


    “ording to your requirements, the investigation isplete!”


    This information was crucial for me, it was the key to toppling Gu Yuanzhou.
