Gu Juexi noticed how loyal the first patriarch was to the old Mr. Bai and was confident that the first patriarch wouldn’t be a threat to his mission.
The distribution map is not in the first patriarch’s study,
said Gu Juexi softly.
Aunt, First Patriarch, Second Patriarch, mind if I share my thoughts?
Nalan Chunbo who was still in the main hall asked as he stretched.
The second patriarch’s face fell, while the first patriarch looked on emotionlessly.
I need to know the second patriarch’s stand.
Nalan Chunbo heard Gu Juexi from his earpiece.
Nalan Chunbo leaned towards the table with one elbow on the desk, his expression calm.
It’s alright if you think it is inappropriate, Second Patriarch,
Nalan Chunbo said as he noticed the second patriarch’s expression darken.
Say it,
the first patriarch commanded.
The second patriarch leaned back in his chair and squinted at Nalan Chunbo who was seated beside Bai Ying.
Bai Ying continued to gently stroke her cat as if nothing concerned her. She was only there for the sake of being present, like how it had always been.
Nalan Chunbo stared at the second patriarch without saying a word.
Spit it out! Why do you stare at me?
The second patriarch snarled, slamming his hands on the table.
The profits that the Bai family made from the arms trades has had obvious growth since last year, but there is one thing that I don’t understand, Second Patriarch. Where did this profit growth come from and why has it not been disclosed to us?
What do you mean? Are you saying that I corrupted?
The second patriarch roared, fingers digging into the table.
Second Patriarch,
the first patriarch murmured, stopping the fight before it started, then turned to Nalan Chunbo.
Qian Yikun decided to let the accounts team prepare the accounts statement since last year. The second patriarch doesn’t know the details of each payment anymore.
I see. I have misunderstood the second patriarch then,
Nalan Chunbo said lightly, curving his lips, then continued,
by the way, did the first patriarch say Qian Yikun? Surely not the same Qian Yikun that I know?
The first patriarch narrowed his eyes but did not say a word.
You punk! Why are you here?
The second patriarch was a hot-tempered person and hollered at Nalan Chunbo without holding back.
I was just worried about getting cheated. It has happened before, hasn’t it? I owe my aunt for raising me, so shouldn’t I protect what belongs to her and be careful with it?
Nalan Chunbo asked easily with a smile on his face.
Nalan Chunbo was shocked when he heard Gu Juexi say from his earpiece:
It’s not with the second patriarch.
How did Gu Juexi know? It was so annoying that he couldn’t show his curiosity. He couldn’t deny that Gu Juexi was very smart. How did Gu Juexi figure out that the second patriarch was not the one when he had sensed nothing wrong from their conversation?
Meanwhile, it was Gu Juexi’s turn to be on duty again. It had already been 7 hours since Tam and Jack left to pick Ye Yuwei. If they were efficient, Ye Yuwei would be here within the next two hours.
Gu Juexi patrolled with the others while paying attention to his earpiece. He had to track down the distribution map before Ye Yuwei arrived. He would definitely have to be more careful, and it would be impossible for him to search all the places individually. He would have to figure out who the suspicious patriarch was only by what he would hear from his earpiece.
