The car lights illuminated the open space in front. Gu Qinglan hugged Fu Tangli and leaned against the front of the car. The two looked at the night view under the mountain, with bright neon lights.

Gu Qinglan hugged her wordlessly and rested his chin on her shoulder.

Fu Tangli felt the warm and broad chest on his back, the mountain breeze was blowing, and a few stars were shining in the night.

She touched him with her elbow, "Ajin, where were you this afternoon?"

Gu Qinglan behind him stiffened slightly, and Fu Tangli felt it, "If you don't want to say it now, you don't have to say it."

Gu Qinglan turned her body and looked directly at her for a while, "If you want to know, I can tell you!"

He paused for a moment, then slowly said: "I went to see a person this afternoon. This person sent an email to Zhang Tianyi before. The content of the email mentioned Huang Yuan and Gu Yan, plus the things he brought back from France. Diary, he and I both suspected that there might be another hidden reason behind my mother’s death.”

Fu Tangli looked at him in shock, and it took a few seconds for him to react, "Is there another hidden reason behind your mother's death?"

Gu Qinglan: "Yeah."

"After my mother was diagnosed with depression, my father sent her to France for treatment..."

After hearing this, Fu Tangli digested it for a while, "So, you suspect that your mother's death is related to Gu Yan and Huang Yuan?"

Gu Qinglan: "Based on the evidence we have now, we can't be sure yet."

Fu Tangli: "Then you mean to join forces with Zhang Tianyi, who is responsible for bringing down the Huang family, while you investigate the cause of your mother's death?"

Gu Qinglan: "That's right."

Fu Tangli felt a little confused. There were no such things in the last life!

Gu Qinglan thought she was worried about him and comforted her, "Don't worry, I have a sense of discretion."

Fu Tangli couldn't explain it to him at the moment, so she could only nodded, "Then you should pay attention to your own safety."

Gu Qinglan reached out and tapped her nose, "Don't worry, I've got it covered."

"Zhang Tian's family is holding a banquet tomorrow night and we are invited to attend. Do you want to go with me?"

Fu Tangli shook his head, "I won't go. If you and Zhang Tian have something to do, I won't distract you!"

"I'm still waiting for you to come back at home."

Tomorrow night's banquet will focus on businessmen like them, and inviting family members is just a casual chat.

Hearing her last words, his heart softened.

Gu Qinglan lowered her head and held her face, "Okay, wait for me at home!"

In the afternoon of the next day, Gu Qinglan and Chen Yue went to Zhang's house after finishing their work. After getting in the car, he sent a message to Zhang Tianyi, "I have already set off, when will you arrive?" 】

Zhang Tianyi replied quickly, "You go there first, I will arrive later." 】

Gu Qinglan: [OK, see you then. 】

Chen Yue looked at Gu Qinglan in the back seat, then looked back, looking hesitant.

Gu Qinglan caught a glimpse and said, "If you have anything to say, just tell me!"

Chen Yue: "Mr. Gu, won't Madam attend tonight's dinner?"

Gu Qinglan: "Madam is cooking hangover soup at home and waiting for me to drink it when I go back."

Chen Yue was stuffed with dog food and could only smile, "Madam is not only beautiful, but also quite virtuous!"

Gu Qinglan narrowed her eyes slightly, "Chen Yue, even if you praise my wife to the extreme, I will not give you a salary increase!"

Chen Yue: "..."

Gu Qinglan: "Although what you said is true."

Chen Yue smiled in agreement, "Yes, Mr. Gu is right!"

When the two arrived at Zhang's house, the time was just right.

When Chen Yue got out of the car and opened the door for Gu Qinglan, the other people who had already arrived gathered around him holding wine glasses.

"Mr. Gu, you're here!"

Gu Qinglan pursed her lips and smiled.

Secretary Zhang had been waiting at the door early in the morning. When he saw Gu Qinglan arriving, he quickly came over to say hello, "Mr. Gu, you're here!"

Gu Qinglan: "Secretary Zhang."

Secretary Zhang: "Mr. Gu, please ask Assistant Chen."

After speaking, he led Gu Qinglan and Chen Yue inside.

As Secretary Zhang walked away, he whispered: "Mr. Lin has arrived and is chatting with Mayor Zhang!"

Chen Yue turned his head and looked inside. At a glance, he only saw Lin Shanhe and Zhang Weiguo talking in the hall, but not Gu Yan.

Gu Qinglan glanced at the hall and did not see Gu Yan. He calmly withdrew his gaze.

Secretary Zhang led them to the two of them, "Mayor, Mr. Gu is here!"

Hearing this, Zhang Weiguo stopped talking with Lin Shanhe and looked at Gu Qinglan with an enthusiastic expression, "Qinglan is here."

Gu Qinglan: "Mayor."

Zhang Weiguo: "You kid, why are you calling me so unfamiliar! This is at home, just call me uncle!"

Gu Qinglan smiled and said nothing. Secretary Zhang on the side handed him a glass of wine, and then retreated to Chen Yue.

He reached out and tugged on Chen Yue's clothes, signaling the two of them to get out.

Chen Yue went out behind him. As soon as he walked out, Chen Yue was pulled aside by him.

Chen Yue: "Secretary Zhang, why are you pulling me?"

Secretary Zhang: "I asked Gu Yan to persuade Mr. Zhang to come back tonight. Did Mr. Gu reveal any information to you?"

Chen Yue pulled away his hand, "How do I know?"

Secretary Zhang looked confused, "Didn't Mr. Gu tell you?"

Chen Yue was speechless, and then sighed, "I'm just a part-time worker. We, Mr. Gu, don't necessarily have to tell me what's on his mind!"

"Besides, he is Gu Qinglan. I don't dare to speculate on his thoughts without authorization."

Secretary Zhang glanced at him with hatred, "Why are you so..."

Chen Yue comforted him, "Don't worry, Mr. Gu and Mr. Zhang have a good relationship, and Mr. Zhang should be here!"

Secretary Zhang said with a sad face, "I hope so, otherwise my job as a secretary will be over!"

inside the living room

Gu Qinglan held a wine glass and toasted to Zhang Weiguo, "Uncle Zhang, here's to you."

Zhang Weiguo was in a good mood tonight. He responded to him and looked much better than before.

Gu Qinglan also paid tribute to Lin Shanhe, "Mr. Lin, you can do whatever you want."

Lin Shanhe's smile did not diminish and he responded symbolically.

Gu Qinglan didn't care, and then chatted with Zhang Weiguo. The two of them talked and laughed from time to time.

Secretary Zhang, who was outside the living room, glanced inside and sighed, "The mayor hasn't been this happy for a long time!"

Chen Yue ate the fruit on the plate. While eating, he looked around and wondered, "Hey, why didn't you see anyone from the Huang family?"

Secretary Zhang snorted coldly, "The Huang family will probably be here for a while tonight!"

Chen Yue: "What about the mayor's wife?"

Secretary Zhang: "Upstairs."

Chen Yue said "Oh" and continued to eat the fruit.

Secretary Zhang glanced at him, then looked at the door, looking forward to seeing something.

Chen Yue followed his gaze and saw nothing. Then he realized that he was waiting for Zhang Tianyi to appear!

On the way to the Zhang family mansion, a black Kawasaki motorcycle cut through the silent night sky like black lightning and drove in this direction.

The sound of the locomotive filled the sky, and soon the locomotive appeared near the Zhang family mansion.

Secretary Zhang's ears twitched and he immediately walked to the door. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a black motorcycle with a dragon swaying its tail and stopped steadily in front of him.

Before he could calm down, the person in the car chuckled softly, "Secretary Zhang, you are still so unafraid!"
