If Wu Qian'an had not suspected at the beginning that it was the aristocratic family who was behind the deal, then after a few months, not only had no deals been signed, but even the deals that had already been signed were unilaterally breached.

Even a fool would understand now that someone from a noble family has taken action.

Liu Shuya shook her head slightly: "I asked around, but I didn't find out anything. The person behind this is very well hidden."

"But one thing that is certain is that this person must be from an aristocratic family."

Gu Jinhe felt that things were not that simple: "Why are you so sure?"

In the capital, it is not only the aristocratic families that have this ability.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Shuya agreed with her statement. Indeed, it was not necessarily only the aristocratic families who had the ability to do this.

It’s just that they are used to ignoring other people, and if anything happens among the aristocratic families, they will suspect that someone in the aristocratic family is behind it.

But it seems that they have never thought that other families besides the aristocratic families also have this ability.

Although the eight great families have no shortage of money and power, their children cannot take the civil service examination. If they want to live a stable life, they can only have good relationships with those people.

Although we are not under the control of others, we will still give them some face.

If the people who deal with the Wu family are not from aristocratic families, then they can only be these capable people.

However, Gu Jinhe's mind flashed back to Linlang standing on the stage and singing in the villa hall that day.

If there is anyone who really has this ability, the eldest young master of the Bai family seems to have this ability.

There was also a reason for dealing with the Wu family. Gu Jinhe was not sure how long Linlang had sung that night, but before she left, she heard Linlang's hoarse voice. The people in the audience seemed not to hear it and still urged her to continue singing.

If it was true as Qin Yi said, that the young master of the Bai family was together with Linlang, when he knew the injustice that Linlang suffered that night, as long as he cared about Linlang at all, he would definitely not let it go.

Gu Jinhe had a hunch that this was related to the young master of the Bai family.

She looked at Liu Shuya, and seeing her frowning in thought, she knew that she was not clear about the relationship between Young Master Bai and Linlang.

It is impossible to find out who is behind the attack on the Wu family, nor is it known why they are targeting the Wu family.

This topic ended like this.

At this time, there were fewer and fewer people left in the hall, and it was getting late, so Liu Shuya finally left.

Gu Jinhe stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his back to the stars and the bright moon, watching the guests leaving the banquet hall one by one.

There was no emotion in his eyes.

Just after the last guest left the hall, Fu Huaiyuan walked towards Gu Jinhe.

Looking at the tall figure gradually approaching, Gu Jinhe narrowed her eyes slightly. When the person came closer, she suddenly asked, "Does the Wu family's business loss have anything to do with you?"

Fu Huaiyuan stopped. He was wearing a well-tailored suit. The black suit made his tall body look even taller. The gold-rimmed glasses on his face blocked his eyes, making it impossible to guess his emotions.

Fu Huaiyuan seemed surprised that Gu Jinhe would ask this question. He paused before asking, "Want to know?"

Gu Jinhe whispered, "I don't really want to know."

As soon as Fu Huaiyuan opened his mouth, Gu Jinhe knew that his guess was correct. It was indeed related to Fu Huaiyuan, and the young master of the Bai family who he had suspected before might also be involved.

Unknowingly, Fu Huaiyuan and the young master of the Bai family joined forces to deal with the Wu family.

The Wu family has been kept in the dark until now and has no idea why their people are targeting them.

Master Bai could easily guess that if he took action against the Wu family, it could only be because of Linlang.

What about Fu Huaiyuan?

What is he doing for?

For no reason, we have been living in peace and stability for so many years, why are we confronting the Wu family now?

Although doing so would not hurt the Wu family fundamentally, it would still make them anxious for a while. The key point was that the Wu family's reputation was more important than the loss of money.

What worries the Wu family the most is that they don't know who is behind this and what the reason is. Not knowing anything is the most frightening thing.

The heir Wu Qian'an is different from Fu Huaiyuan. Fu Huaiyuan took over the family business as soon as he became an adult, and it has been more than ten years now.

He has completely controlled the Fu family in his own hands, and the head of the Fu family also intends to delegate power to his son.

When Fu Huaiyuan took over the family, Fu Huaijing from the second house was just a child less than ten years old.

But Wu Qian'an is different. Although he is also the heir of a noble family, his situation is somewhat similar to Yang Lin's. Their father is still the head of the family.

They were only allocated a small part of the family business to manage, on the one hand to train them, and on the other hand to observe their abilities.

In recent years, Wu Qian'an has been doing things in a standard manner, without making any major or minor mistakes, and on the surface he seems to be doing just fine.

An elder from a branch of the Wu family once commented that Wu Qian'an was too mediocre, that he relied on brute force to do things, and that he would not be able to accomplish anything great.

This means that Wu Qian'an has no brains and cannot be the heir to the Wu family.

Faced with such denial, Wu Qian'an dared not take a single wrong step, for fear of leaving any evidence behind that would be caught by people from other branches, who would then tell others about it, causing him to lose all face.

So we can imagine that Wu Qian'an must have been having a hard time in the past few months.

Fu Huaiyuan looked at Gu Jinhe seriously with his deep eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. He spoke gently as if with temptation: "I once said that I will not lie to you. The questions you ask, I can answer with the truth."

Gu Jinhe was slightly stunned, then looked up at Fu Huaiyuan. His eyes were deep behind his glasses, but there was a serious look in his eyes, as if if she asked, he would definitely answer her.

After a few seconds, Gu Jinhe seemed to be burned by such a look. She looked away and saw the cake stand being cleaned up. There were more than ten layers of cakes and it was more than two meters high. One had to stand on a ladder to take down the stand one by one.

Gu Jinhe said: "You came back too late, and all the cakes have been distributed."

Fu Huaiyuan followed her line of sight and saw the cleaned cake stand. He thought for a moment and said, "Then you owe me a piece of cake."

Gu Jinhe looked at him with a little surprise: "I owe you a piece of cake?"

Fu Huaiyuan: "Yeah, I came to your birthday party, but I didn't even get to taste a piece of cake. Doesn't that seem unreasonable?"

Gu Jinhe really wanted to say that Fu Huaiyuan went to the second room not long after the banquet started, and he did not come back until the last guest left the hall after the banquet. If there was still a cake at this time, then the long table could only be filled with snacks.

But it doesn't seem appropriate to let people eat snacks as cakes.
