Chapter 898: The Elopement Never Happened, Right

“Anyway, this Xin Cheng Energy project is so problematic. To this day, I still don’t understand why Gu Juexi wants to tender this project,” Xiao Yaojing expressed her opinion, “It’s understandable if it’s some other profitable project, but this one? Its future is bleak!”

PA Wen pushed her into the elevator. He could not fathom his CEO’s motive as well.

PA Wen was already on his way when Gu Juexi was informed about the issue. He put his cutlery down and stepped outside.

“I’m on my way to handle the matter, I think it’s manageable,” PA Wen reported while driving.

“You go over and find out who the minister is. If he asks for money, give it to him,” Gu Juexi commanded.

“What?” PA Wen was stunned and confused. He asked cautiously, “CEO, we’ve gone through all the procedures accordingly, why should we pay him?”

“Do as I say. I hope they are mentally prepared since they dare to beard the lion in his den,” Gu Juexi said coldly. His absence did not imply that these people could crow on their own dunghill.

“CEO, this—”

“Remember to turn on your recorder, I’m sure the Anti-Corruption Department would love a new case to be handled,” Gu Juexi said icily.

PA Wen got the picture instantly.

“So, CEO, how much should we give them?” PA Wen was calculating the amount that was enough to strip the minister of his job.

“When they mention a number, you give them ten times that amount.” Gu Juexi was tapping the table lightly. “You scrutinize this Xin Cheng Energy project and keep a tab on any suspicious activities, I don’t want anyone to mess with it.”

His remark implied that the Energy project was sustainable and worthwhile in the latter days, but PA Wen could not figure out what the benefits were exactly.

“Okay, I understand,” PA Wen said finally and adjusted his earphones. “How is Xixi?”

“She’s much better. Off you go.” Gu Juexi ended the call but did not go back to his room right away.

Wen Jie came out of her room, saw Gu Juexi outside and sat beside him. “Juexi—”

“Mom, if you don’t intend to tell me what really happened, I suggest you call it a day and rest,” Gu Juexi said softly. He wanted to be cold-blooded to get the truth but he could not do so with his own mother.

Wen Jie grabbed Gu Juexi’s hand, stopping him from leaving. “Juexi, why do you insist on investigating the past and things that happened so long ago? You and Weiwei are so happy together now, isn’t that enough?”

Gu Juexi looked down at his hand then back at his mother who stared at him in anticipation. “Mom, Ye Shu thinks it is not enough.”

If it was enough, Ye Shu wouldn’t have set all this up.

“The person who harmed Ye Di was not apprehended and you know who he was. Mom, if you don’t feel like telling me, I won’t pester you. I’ll investigate it myself,” Gu Juexi said. He pushed her hand away and turned to leave.

“Juexi.” Wen Jie stood up and looked at Gu Juexi’s back. “Stop your investigation, please. Ye Shu doesn’t know anything, so please don’t investigate anymore.”

Gu Juexi turned around to look at Wen Jie, looking surprised. “Ye Shu doesn’t know anything?”

Wen Jie took a few steps and held Gu Juexi’s hands. “As long as you give up your investigation, no one will know what happened. Why bother? It will ruin your—” Wen Jie halted abruptly.

“I will continue my investigation. At least, I want to know the reason why he hates me so much,” Gu Juexi said resolutely. He hunched slightly to look at his mother. “I can see that you don’t love Ye Shu. The elopement never happened, right?”
