Chapter 575 The beginning of a big drama(1/2)
Ling Yan didn't know how she managed to hear the other person tell the whole story. Her heart felt like it was being thrown into a fire and was constantly suffering. She couldn't imagine the pain Gu Xichen endured at sea.
"Miss Ling, please don't worry. Mr. Gu will be fine. If he contacts you, please tell us. We are all very worried about him."
Ling Yan nodded numbly in response. After hanging up the phone, she quickly flipped through the message the man sent her last night. He was obviously talking about what he had eaten at night, and he also took a picture of the sea view for her to see, and talked to three other people.
The child said good night, but just a few hours later, she was told that he was in flames and his whereabouts were unknown.
Ling Yan clutched her chest, pain and tears bursting out instantly.
"No, he will definitely not leave us, mother and son..."
She murmured, still refusing to believe that this was the truth.
At this moment, a huge fire broke out on a huge cargo ship on the sea. When the fire was halfway through, the sky above the sea was dark and a huge rainstorm fell. The rain extinguished the fire, leaving most of the cargo ship in a dark mess.
Drifting on the sea like a ghost ship.
Under the moonlight, a few sneaky figures ran to the bedroom on the third floor to check. The room had been burnt to ashes. How could there be anything left?
"Where is the other person? The fire started next door to him. He should have been burned to death."
"Look for him quickly. If he's not dead, we have to help him."
"If he dies, the company will belong to our boss. He said he would not treat us badly."
"We are going to be developed."
"Keep your voice down, there are other living people here."
Several men were chatting in low voices, their voices full of pride and excitement, as if they had seen glory and wealth waving to them.
The nearby ship arrived three hours later, and the person who got off the ship was Haitang. She rushed into the ruins crazily, and the ashes scattered everywhere by the rain made people's hearts feel dark.
"Where is Mr. Gu?" Haitang turned around and angrily asked the remaining crew members on the ship: "Where is he? Have any of you seen him?"
"Assistant Hai, the fire started in the room next to Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu may be... in danger." Someone responded boldly.
Haitang's eyes changed, and she shouted excitedly: "Why didn't you put out the fire in time? Did you go to save Mr. Gu immediately?"
"We wanted to save him, but by the time we went to save him, it was already too late." Some people were also worried and anxious.
Haitang immediately spoke: "I want you to wear all the equipment you need to go into the sea, and you must find Mr. Gu."
Everyone looked at each other, obviously unwilling to sacrifice their lives.
"Whoever finds Mr. Gu, the company will reward five million..."
"I'll go..."
"I'll go too."
In an instant, everyone who could move decided to go to the sea to find someone.
Haitang stood at the burned plywood and looked in the distance.
In fact, no one knew that this dangerous situation was man-made.
And the person who caused all this was Gu Xichen himself.
Gu Xichen investigated something a month ago. The real culprit behind the murder of his parents had been revealed by one of his companions. He turned out to be his father's most trusted cousin at the time, who was currently under his supervision.
The company's second largest shareholder, Gu Tiancheng, is the son of his grandfather's eldest brother and is Gu Xichen's uncle.
Gu Xichen has had a good relationship with him since he was a child. He is also like a charitable elder who has helped him grow up. Gu Xichen treats him well because he knows that the scar on Gu Tiancheng's back was left by saving his father.
He trusted him even more, so much so that now he has let Gu Tiancheng and his family join the company to hold important positions in various departments, and Gu Tiancheng's equity has reached 20% of the company, second only to his 47%
.
At the same time, Mr. Gu still had 15% left. Gu Tiancheng's son had been increasing Gu's equity through various means for the most time. This was a dangerous signal. Gu Xichen was keenly aware of the situation of Gu Tiancheng's family.
Ambition.
However, because of their good relationship for more than ten years, he couldn't immediately turn around and inquire, and because his grandparents regarded Gu Tiancheng's family as his best relatives, and they kept in close contact during the holidays. If Gu Xichen didn't have any evidence,
, and nailed them to the cross of sinners, lest he become the one being blamed.
Gu Xichen now regrets that he trusted their family so easily, allowing his company to become a platform for them to make profits, allowing their ambitions to continue to expand, and now it has directly threatened his position as CEO.
However, regret is useless, Gu Xichen always likes to find ways to solve difficulties directly.
Now, he decided to put on a good show, first let their ambitions surface, and then secretly collect various evidences to prove their crimes.
When Gu Xichen heard that his father was seduced by Gu Tiancheng's words, he was really angry and wished he could immediately cut Gu Tiancheng into pieces.
However, Gu Tiancheng has been actively working hard to maintain his good character. He is also very famous in various charity lists. He has made various donations, built schools, and helped rebuild disaster areas. He has been hailed as a representative figure by major media. Gu Xichen was also very famous back then.
support his charity
As long as he said he wanted to donate, he would sometimes let him do it in the name of the company, and sometimes let him do it in his own name. The person who contributed the money was Gu Xichen, because at the time, he really thought that this uncle was a rare person.
He is a good person and he must fully support his career.
Now it seems that Gu Xichen feels that this is his conspiracy. He deliberately placed himself on a high platform, letting all the praise and applause support his beautiful persona and hide the darkness behind him.
When he stood in the radiant light, Gu Xichen would have to pay a high price to kick him back to hell. Maybe if he didn't handle it well, his company would really change hands.
Gu Xichen was also planning all this, and finally the opportunity came to him.
A fire caused the enemy to mistakenly think that he had fallen into the deep sea forever.
However, he needs to perform this scene alone, because his opponent is a fake good guy.
Gu Xichen believed that even if he died, Gu Tiancheng would not attack his relatives because he had no rivals anymore and he would not risk his reputation anymore. He was a very cautious person.
Maybe, because of his death, he will be even more kind to his family, because he needs to do a good job on the surface to make people in society think that he is a kind and righteous person.
When Gu Xichen made this choice, it was actually very painful.
Because he hid it from all the people who mattered most to him and hid alone in the darkness.
He didn't dare to imagine whether his grandparents, Ling Yan and the children could bear the pain of losing him, but he still had a glimmer of hope, because no one could find his body, which could be considered a hope for his relatives.
Only his most trusted confidants know about his plan, and they will cooperate with him in acting.
In order to prevent the company from falling into the hands of the bad guys, in order to tear apart Gu Tiancheng's mask of disguise, and for the sake of his parents' blood feud, Gu Xichen can only tolerate it all for the time being. When he returns, the truth will be revealed, and the masks of the bad guys and good guys will be shattered.
when.
Ling Yan drove like crazy and arrived at Mrs. Gu's house, where the children were sleeping. As soon as Ling Yan stepped in, she found that at around three o'clock in the morning, Gu's house was already brightly lit, and a group of people had arrived.
When another group of people appeared, Ling Yan with disheveled hair, Mr. Gu was holding the old lady and crying together. Her three children were standing beside them helplessly, with tears stains on their little faces.
"Ling Yan... something happened to Xi Chen." Mrs. Gu said with tears streaming down her face when she saw her.
Ling Yan was also suffering from great pain and despair in her heart. However, she was old at the top and young at the bottom. She could only bear the tears with strength.
"Grandma, didn't you say you haven't found him yet? He will be safe and sound." When Ling Yan spoke out, she realized that her voice had long been hoarse, and her tears couldn't stop falling.
"Ling Yan, Xi Chen must have been killed by the group of enemies who killed his parents. Those people were so insane. It wasn't enough to kill my son and daughter-in-law. They also took away my grandson's life. These bastards."
After Mrs. Gu finished speaking, she burst into tears again.
Mr. Gu's face was also very sad, and he said painfully: "Xi Chen is not here, I will go back to the company. I must guard the company for him and wait for him to come back."
Only then did Ling Yan realize that with his absence, the family had lost its backbone. This huge family business could only be supported by an old man who was over seventy years old. This was really sad.
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked in quickly from outside the door, it was Gu Tiancheng.
"Uncle, aunt, I'm sorry, I just dealt with some things. When I heard that Xichen had an accident, the company's shareholders were panicked. Fortunately, with my comfort, they have stabilized their emotions. We must first deal with Xichen's accident.
Try your best to hide it, otherwise, the company's stock will definitely fall to the bottom
." As soon as Gu Tiancheng stepped in, he showed an anxious expression. He first told what he had done, and then what he was going to do next: "Uncle, the company can't fail. Xichen hasn't been found yet, prove him.
There is definitely hope of living, as long as we hold on to the company, he can come back at any time."
"Tiancheng... the company is counting on you. You are the veteran of the company and the second shareholder. You know everything about the company. You must help Xichen support the company." Old Mrs. Gu is also very fond of Gu Tiancheng.
Having lost her son's trust, she once regarded Gu Tiancheng as his son's substitute. After adding Gu Tiancheng and being filial to them, she could only rely on him now.
Ling Yan stood beside her and hugged her three children tightly. The three little guys leaned against her quietly. Although they were sad, they could not express it and could only cry silently.
"Ling Yan, please forgive me..." After Gu Tiancheng comforted the two elders, he came over to comfort Ling Yan: "Don't worry, I will definitely send more people out to look for Xi Chen, and we will definitely find him."
"Can you call the police and ask them to help find him?" Ling Yan raised her head and asked pleadingly.
"I'm afraid this won't work." Gu Tiancheng's face was serious: "My two elders and I have decided to conceal the news of Xi Chen's accident. His accident occurred on the high seas, and no police from any country will take over. Besides, if Xi Chen is okay,
, he will definitely come back immediately. If something happens to him, I hope you and the children can be strong. After all, this huge industry still needs you and the three children to inherit it."
Ling Yan's expression was frozen. Gu Tiancheng's words were full of words, she wanted to say, could her husband come back?
Ling Yan buried her head in the children's young shoulders in pain. At this moment, she was so heartbroken that she couldn't say a word. Only the children's small bodies could make her feel a trace of warmth.
"Ling Yan, don't worry. My uncle is also very sad. Xichen is a very good man. He is responsible, responsible and capable. We all feel sad to lose such an excellent family member, but there are always many things in life.
When an accident occurs, all we can do is accept it, but don't worry, Xi Chen is no longer here, and I will take good care of all of you on his behalf." Gu Tiancheng squatted in front of Ling Yan, comforting her and her gently.
's children.
Ling Yan shook her head in pain, tears staining her cheeks and the children's clothes.
She absolutely did not believe the fact that he had left forever.
