Chapter 62: 62 He Saw Through Me_1
But I also will not carelessly spill the beans.
I just widened my eyes and stared at him, while desperately thinking of a plan in my mind.
“President Gu, I’m Song Xiaoyun! Don’t you recognize me?”
Gu Yuanzhou sneered.
He turned around and opened the laptop on his desk, and then pulled out a surveillance clip. After watching it, I broke into a cold sweat.
The scene was from a month ago;
That is, right after I was reincarnated into Song Xiaoyun’s body.
In the video, I grabbed Gu Yuanzhou’s arm, choking back tears, sobbing uncontrollably.
“Yuanzhou, I had a nightmare where Zhenyi and Xiaoyi were burned to death in a fire…”
Back then, I was so grief-stricken that my identity did not match Song Xiaoyun’s at all.
This video clip directly revealed my real situation at that time.
Watching the video, I was silent for a moment.
Did Gu Yuanzhou find out about my reincarnation? Otherwise, why would he suddenly bring out this video clip?
Silence.
A deathly silence.
Gu Yuanzhou turned off the video and looked at me,
“Can you explain why you reacted like that at the time?”
I sorted out my thoughts slightly,
“President Gu, I, um, I can’t really remember clearly what happened at that time.”
“Really?”
“Yes, that’s… I might have been possessed by a ghost at the time!”
Gu Yuanzhou sneered,
“What age is it? You want me to believe this?”
“It’s true, my birth chart falls on Yin Year, Yin Month, Yin Day, and Yin Time. According to fortune tellers, I am very prone to attracting ghosts. I was often possessed by ghosts when I was little. Especially by those who have just passed away…”
I fabricated it on the spot.
Gu Yuanzhou’s gaze slightly congealed but it still carried an element of disbelief.
“So, can you show me by getting possessed again?”
I was dumbfound, what kind of request was this?
Sure enough, this man was not so easy to fool.
He actually wanted to test it on the spot?
“This… it requires certain conditions! I don’t know exactly what they are. I can only say that it is accidental… It depends on whether the ghost is willing to possess me, . If someone recently passed away and the Yin energy has not dissipated, it’s easier for them to possess me. To summon them again, there needs to be a method to call upon the spirit, and I don’t have that skill…”
I racked my brain, imagining the horror movies I had seen before.
Just made up the story right there and then.
I knew what I was saying was full of holes, but Gu Yuanzhou listened earnestly.
After hearing me out, Gu Yuanzhou didn’t say much. He just told me, “Alright, go back to work!”
I sighed with relief.
I thought to myself, at least I managed to fool him for now.
In the afternoon, Ding Yinuo sent me a text message, “Check out the news!”
I opened the news on my mobile phone.
Today’s top news was again about the Golden Bay arson case, which had shot up to the top searches. Unlike before,
The headline referred now, to the nanny setting the fire. Although the trial hasn’t commenced yet, so Wu Jun is currently the main suspect.
Due to public opinion, this case will go to trial soon.
I replied to Ding Yinuo, “Did you buy a trending topic?”
“Of course! Otherwise, how can I force Gu Yuanzhou to show his face? I’d like to see the moment he gets sentenced to death in court.”
I went through the news again, and indeed many people were commenting below, speculating Monteng’s culprit was Gu Yuanzhou.
Suffice to say, due to this hot search, Zhenyi Company was at the pinnacle of public discussion.
But this time, Gu Yuanzhou seemed rather indifferent.
He did not rush to do any crisis PR.
After lunch, he was leisurely drinking tea in his office.
When I entered the office, his shiny black eyes were sizing me up.
“President Gu, our company is trending again, should we try to shift media attention by buying news of a scandalous affair of some celebrity?”
Gu Yuanzhou calmly put down his teacup,
“Go and urge the R&D department to release the new autumn line. Hold a press conference tomorrow, invite journalists, and ride on this wave of attention to boost our sales.”
His answer startled me.
This man’s psychological resilience is remarkable; he was truly impervious to any threat.
“President Gu, aren’t you afraid of negative rumors?”
Gu Yuanzhou gave a bitter smile,
“I have neither a wife nor kids now, what do I have to fear?”
I was taken aback, and after a while I said,
“But with the company being slandered like this, I worry…”
“Don’t worry, any publicity is good publicity… it’s better than being unnoticed and forgotten.”
Gu Yuanzhou said calmly.
His comments shocked me once again.
For a moment, I couldn’t tell if he was heartless, or too cunning?
Just as I was about to leave the office, he suddenly stopped me.
“Prepare yourself. Join me for a trip to Beilu Hill tonight!”
Upon hearing these words, my mind went blank.
This place is where Mrs. Gu’s memorial tablet is located.
“What do you want me to do there, Mr. Gu?”
“Didn’t you say that you can get possessed by ghosts? Well, I want to see if my wife can possess you again!”
“But, that requires calling upon the spirit!”
I resisted, as this itself was an unreasonable request.
“Don’t worry, I’ve invited a Taoist to perform the ritual! You don’t have to prepare anything, just come with me.”
“But…”
I wanted to refuse.
But Gu Yuanzhou did not give me an opportunity to back out.
“If you haven’t lied to me, then come verify it with me!”
“President Gu!”
“I want to see you at Beilu Hill at ten o’clock tonight!”
His tone was very serious.
The implication being that if I didn’t show up, it would mean I had been lying to him.
After work, I spilled all of my troubles to Wenya.
Upon hearing everything, Wenya let loose a torrent of curses,
“That jerk Gu Yuanzhou! After all the terrible things he’s done, isn’t he afraid of summoning a ghost that’ll take revenge on him?”
I shrugged, “They say that even ghosts are afraid of evil people.”
Jian Jing, on the other hand, remained calm. After a sip of her milk tea, she said in a collected tone,
“Ayun, I think this could be a good opportunity. You can pretend to be possessed and use this status to question him about why he killed you and your child. I don’t believe he would dare to lie to a ghost!”
Wenya also clapped and agreed, “That’s a good idea. People who believe in ghosts tend to fear them. If given a chance, he might speak the truth.”
The advice of my best friends seemed very reasonable.
I could take advantage of this opportunity to force Gu Yuanzhou to tell the truth.
Then, I could prepare to record his confession on my phone. This evidence could be used in court to convict him.
With these thoughts in my mind, I slowly regained my composure.
Around ten in the evening, I took a taxi to Beilu Hill.
As I got out of the car, standing in the pitch-black darkness, I could see a faint light glowing in front of the Yin Mansion from a distance.
