After the morning exercise, Gu Ranle was busy and sat in the yard to boil medicine for three people.

After the soup was ready, she put the ones for Mr. Luo and Li Shenzhi into insulated lunch boxes respectively and had someone deliver them to them. She sent Mr. Jiang's portion directly to his room.

After finishing all this, it was just past seven o'clock.

She went back to the house and prepared to go upstairs to take a shower.

The house was quiet, with only Aunt Wang busy in the kitchen.

Gu Ranle didn't stop, but went straight upstairs, opened the bathroom door, and let the warm water wash away his fatigue.

After washing up, she went into the study and took care of some things. Only when she felt her stomach start to protest did she close the computer reluctantly and go downstairs.

On weekdays, the restaurant is bustling at this time.

However, today, it seems particularly deserted.

Except for Mr. Jiang and Jiang Haisheng sitting quietly at the dining table, everyone else seemed to be nowhere to be seen.

"Where did everyone go?" Gu Ranle was puzzled and frowned unconsciously.

Aunt Wang happened to walk into the restaurant carrying a steaming meal. Seeing Gu Ranle's bewildered face, she sighed and explained, "The hospital just called and said Zhao Lili was beaten severely and is now receiving emergency treatment. Yueming and Lanshan rushed to the hospital as soon as they heard the news. The second young master was worried and went with them."

Zhao Lili was seriously injured?

Gu Ranle frowned even more tightly when he heard this, but he didn't take it to heart.

Given Zhao Lili's stubborn nature, she would definitely go gambling again if she got more than 10 million yuan.

She asked again: "What about Big Brother and Gu Zhenzhen? Why aren't they here either?"

"The eldest young master left home before dawn, saying he was going on a business trip. As for Miss Zhenzhen, she hasn't gotten up yet."

"On business trip?"

Gu Ranle's heart tightened. Yesterday she had specifically asked Gu Jingcheng if he had any plans for a business trip recently. He clearly said no, and his focus recently was on the project in cooperation with the Luo family.

Why did you suddenly go out before dawn?

"Did Big Brother tell us where he was going on his business trip?" Gu Ranle asked, trying to get more information from Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang shook her head. "No, the eldest young master just said that he would try to come back in the evening. If he can't come back, he will have to wait until tomorrow."

Gu Ranle nodded, but her heart was full of doubts.

She decided to call Gu Jingcheng after dinner to ask what was going on.

This sudden business trip and Zhao Lili's serious injury made her feel that things were not simple.

I hope she's just overthinking it.

She sat down next to Mr. Jiang and asked casually, "Grandpa, didn't you get enough rest last night?"

"I've had a good rest, I feel fine." Mr. Jiang responded quickly, with a barely perceptible hint of nervousness in his tone.

Gu Ranle nodded slightly, as if it was just a casual question and he didn't take it to heart.

She lowered her head and began to concentrate on eating her breakfast, her movements graceful and quick.

Seeing this, Mr. Jiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and began to eat slowly.

There were only slight sounds of clinking of cutlery and chewing in the restaurant, and the atmosphere seemed a little subtle.

Gu Ranle ate very fast today. She had put down her chopsticks almost before Mr. Jiang had finished half of his meal.

"Grandpa, I have to go out soon and can't accompany you. If you have anything, remember to call me." Gu Ranle stood up and said calmly.

"Okay, go and do your thing, don't worry about me." Mr. Jiang responded with a smile.

Gu Ranle took two steps, then suddenly stopped and asked casually, "What time did you go to bed last night?"

"It should be around twelve o'clock, isn't it, Lao Jiang?"

Old Master Jiang looked towards Jiang Haisheng. He was originally looking for Jiang Haisheng to confirm, but the moment his eyes met Jiang Haisheng's, he finally reacted.

Got tricked!

Jiang Haisheng secretly sighed and thought, you let your guard down, didn't you? You've been exposed, right?

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain, "Before Mr. Li left last night, the old man couldn't sleep. After Mr. Li left, he finally fell asleep. But he woke up again before dawn."

Hearing this, Gu Ranle looked at Mr. Jiang sharply, "Didn't you say you had a good rest? You actually lied!"

The corners of Mr. Jiang's mouth twitched, and he stammered, "I, I don't want to make you worry!"

"If you don't want me to worry, then worry less. Thinking too much will cause insomnia."

"I know, I know." Old Master Jiang responded with his head lowered, like a primary school student who had done something wrong.

Gu Ranle sighed, "After dinner, you can go to the yard to bask in the sun and take a nap.

After she finished explaining, she turned and left.

After getting into the car, Gu Ranle took out his cell phone.

She did not call Gu Jingcheng directly, but called the bodyguard she arranged for Gu Jingcheng.

The sunlight shines through the car window glass and quietly enters the car.

After listening to the bodyguard's words, Gu Ranle did not call Gu Jingcheng again.

She sat in the car, thought for a moment, and picked up the phone again.

There was chaos in the Jin Corporation's headquarters building at the moment.

First, the security system collapsed without any warning, and then the company's network system followed suit and fell into complete darkness.

The employees looked at each other, their hearts filled with anxiety and confusion.

"Chairman, this...is this a competitor doing something secretly?" the assistant asked anxiously.

Jin Heng, the usually calm and composed helmsman, now had a frown on his face and stared at the computer screen in front of him with sharp eyes.

Time passed minute by minute, but he remained silent, as if there was an unknown secret hidden on that small screen.

Seeing this, the assistant couldn't help but wonder: Is there something wrong with the chairman's computer?

Out of curiosity, he quietly stretched his neck and glanced at the computer screen.

However, this one look frightened him so much that he almost lost his voice.

On the screen, there was no garbled code, no warnings, only a creepy smiling face.

That smile seemed to have some kind of strange magic that made people unforgettable at first sight.

"Chairman..."

The assistant's face turned pale and he looked at Jin Heng helplessly, with an obvious tremor in his voice.

Jin Heng seemed not to have heard it and continued to stare at the screen without raising his head.

His eyes were deep, as if he could penetrate the screen and see the truth behind it.

"You go out."

After a long while, Jin Heng spoke without raising his head.

The assistant nodded, turned around and left in a hurry.

Jin Heng's eyes were still fixed on the computer. The assistant only saw the terrifying smiling face but did not notice that there was a line of small words below the smiling face.

——A dragon leaps up from the shallow water, and a tiger on the flat land gains power. The one who laughs last is not you shrimp dogs.

This line of words carries a strong sense of confidence and arrogance, and is full of irony.

Jin Heng frowned, trying hard to think about who he had offended to bring such a big disaster to the company.
