Chapter 357 - 357: Keep Them Hanging

“That’s hard to say. We’ll see.” Gu Shaoting felt that one should never judge a book by its cover. He had already misjudged Tong Fei.

“Is Shu Pan okay now?” He Ming felt that it would be difficult for a woman to recover from such a thing. She would at least be a little traumatized.

“She looks fine but she’s still very scared inside. She’s been having nightmares.” Gu Shaoting sighed. There were faint dark circles under his eyes.

He didn’t even dare to fall into deep sleep nowadays. As soon as he heard Shu Pan stirring, he would get up to comfort her, just like a loving mother.

“Take it slow. Shu Pan seems to have changed her opinion of you after this incident. She relies on you now.” He Ming teased, hoping that his good friend would finally get his girl back.

“Yeah.” Gu Shaoting nodded as he casually tapped his fingers on his desk.

“Oh, then what about Lord Long? Do you need to talk to him?” He Ming suddenly thought of this person.

“Do you think it’s necessary?” Gu Shaoting raised the pitch of his voice.

“A local hooligan like him doesn’t have a code of conduct. I’m worried that he would cause trouble again.” He Ming had always been a thorough person.

“Don’t worry, I’ve already called Chief Han. The entertainment venues under

Lord Long’s name have been reported to be hiding drugs. They will all be shut down soon. He’ll have enough things to worry about.” Gu Shaoting looked like he already knew what would happen.

This was just a warning to Lord Long. Gu Shaoting wasn’t about to let him off.

He’d just keep him hanging for a while.

“That would be for the best. You don’t have to get your hands dirty.” He Ming chuckled. As expected of Brother Ting, his execution skills were top-notch.

“Yes, I wouldn’t want to dirty my hands by dealing with such a person.” Gu Shaoting said with disdain.

“Alright, your matter is almost settled. I’m going to take the next two days off. It’s my Empress Dowager’s birthday. We used to celebrate with a family meal but I don’t know what got into her this time that she wanted to host a banquet.” He Ming said helplessly.

He Ming’s mother had always objected to hosting birthday banquets because she felt that it was too troublesome.

But she suggested it this time, saying that she wanted to invite some relatives and friends to celebrate with her.

He Ming couldn’t help but feel curious. He asked his mother why she changed her mind this time. Who knew that her answer almost made him vomit blood…

His mother said righteously that he didn’t have a girlfriend before despite his age. If she invited relatives and friends to celebrate her birthday, everyone would just focus on why He Ming wasn’t married.

She was already upset about his lack of marriage, so she didn’t want to make things difficult for herself.

But things were different now. He Ming had a girlfriend now. She wanted everyone to meet Xiaomeng at her birthday banquet.

She was excited just thinking about it. Her wish of having grandchildren would probably come true soon.

He Ming really wanted to roll his eyes. So, it was his fault that his mother couldn’t entertain guests before? Was it a heinous crime to not have a girlfriend?

What a sin. It seemed that he had been an unfilial son.

“Good, make it grand. Make the old folks happy. Just let me know if you need any help.” Gu Shaoting stood up and patted He Ming’s shoulder.

After He Ming left his office, Gu Shaoting walked to the floor to ceiling windows. He also wanted his family to live in harmony but why was it so difficult?

Because of Shu Pan’s incident, there was now a barrier between him and Song Can which he still couldn’t get over.

He didn’t dare to imagine the consequences if Shu Pan found out that Song Can had tacitly agreed to the kidnapping and obscene photo-taking..
