The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 320 I Just Want "ME"

At the end of November, ME company.

"Can anyone tell me? Why hasn't such a big person been found yet?!"

In the editor-in-chief's office, the cold-faced CEO Gong Ming was facing the computer on the table with fear and trepidation. Every time the person on the computer screen raised his voice, he would lower his head a little.

"Father, I have already sent more people to look for it everywhere."

"I've been looking for a month, where's the person?!" Gong Xun said to his eldest son on the computer with an angry face.

Gong Ming lowered his head, not knowing how to answer. A month ago, he received news that Zhou Chongguang had disappeared in the United States. His father was so angry that he almost demolished the study room at home.

For fear that his father would lose his mind, he took the initiative to take over the matter and started looking for him in the United States. However, he could not find his brother in either Los Angeles or Shanghai in the past month.

It's really strange!

At this time, Gong Xun spoke again: "He must have returned to China. If the media knew that he was not dead, then our Gong family would be doomed!"

Gong Ming also knew the seriousness of the matter, but after hesitating for a moment, he still said, "Father, Chongguang... must be aware of the seriousness of the matter. He certainly wouldn't deliberately spread the word that he's still alive."

"Can you give me a guarantee? A year ago, the body disappeared at the funeral, and a year later, he appeared alive. Who wouldn't suspect that it was a fake funeral? Wouldn't they suspect the purpose of the fake funeral? Was it just a joke?"

Listening to his father's furious questioning, Gong Ming was speechless for a moment. After a few seconds, he said guiltily: "Chongguang...had plastic surgery."

"Dyeing your hair is called plastic surgery? What's the point of all those surgeries on your face? Can't you still see it at a glance?"

It would have been fine if this had not been mentioned, but Gong Xun got even angrier when the topic of plastic surgery came up.

According to his idea, if it comes to plastic surgery, he might as well do a drastic one, make some harsh cuts on the face, even if it means disfigurement... After all, the child is not his own, so he won't feel sorry at all.

However, Gong Ming, the son who was in charge of this matter, was reluctant to destroy his younger brother's face. He arranged for his younger brother to go to the barber shop for a haircut and told Tony that a slight trim would be enough...

The problem is that after hearing this, Tony at the barber shop will cut the customer's hair into a way that even his own mother can't recognize him, as if he had undergone a head transplant surgery. On the contrary, a doctor who really has the ability to transplant heads will strictly abide by it after hearing the request, and will really trim it.

Well... Actually, when Gong Ming saw his brother after the plastic surgery, he once doubted whether he had spent the money on the plastic surgery but only dyed his brother's hair.

So when he heard his father mention this matter, he lowered his head guiltily again.

Gong Xun took a few deep breaths, his face turned cold again, and he said, "Did I tell you that since the incident at the funeral last year, some people have begun to suspect us, and even this year some people have begun to secretly test us."

No one is a fool. The disappearance of a body at a funeral is too rare and abstract, especially when it happened in the Gong family. It is hard not to doubt whether Zhou Chongguang is dead or not.

If the Gong family hadn't spent a large sum of money to silence the hospital in advance, the matter would have been exposed long ago.

However, even so, some people began to wonder if something had happened to the Gong family. In the past year, the Gong family has dealt with several waves of people trying to test them, and both "ME" and Constanly have been subjected to varying degrees of commercial sniping.

This kind of thing has happened in the past, and doing business is always unavoidable, but the frequency this year is much higher than in previous years, and the entire Gong family's industry has been affected.

Gong Ming naturally knew about these things, so he could better understand his father's anger about Zhou Chongguang's disappearance.

A year has passed and the incident has gradually cooled down. If it is delayed for another one or two years, the impact will almost disappear. Then we can come back with an urn in a low-key manner and say that our brother's body was stolen and suffered inhumane torture. Even though the Gong family will be embarrassed, at least they can make up for it.

But now with my brother's real disappearance, everything has become unpredictable.

Seeing that Haodaer didn't say anything, Gong Xun thought for a while and then said, "Especially the Ye family. That woman Ye Chuanping has been quiet. She is the one we need to be most careful of. Once something happens to Zhou Chongguang, she will be the one who bites the hardest!"

Gong Ming thought about the several dealings he had with Ye Chuanping last year. One was the Shenggu acquisition, where he won by stepping on Ye Chuanping's face. Another time was Gu Yuan's engagement, where he witnessed with his own eyes as a guest the scene where Ye Chuanping was almost humiliated. Thinking of this, he still had a sense of superiority.

But he also knew that now was different from the past. The Ye family would only lose face, but the Gong family would lose their lives, so he hesitated for a moment and said, "I understand. I will increase the number of people to search, and then keep an eye on the group of people led by Ye Chuanping's son. If Chongguang really shows up, I will intercept him first."

"Yeah." Gong Xun nodded, then fell silent and looked at his eldest son. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just hung up the phone.

Gong Ming let out a breath, and his whole body instantly relaxed. When his father looked at him without saying anything just now, he broke out in a cold sweat on his back. He knew what his father was going to say, but fortunately, he didn't say it.

"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Chongguang, he is my brother after all." Gong Ming murmured as he looked at the computer interface after hanging up the video.

……

Sinan Mansion.

Gu Li held a courier box and placed it next to the coffee table. Lin Xiao, who was fiddling with his phone, saw it and asked, "Gu Li, what did you buy?"

"Hehe, a secret weapon." Gu Li said mysteriously.

"Weapons?" Tang Wanru put down the banana in her hand and asked in surprise, "Pistol or landmine?"

"It could also be a laser sword." Lin Xiao took over the conversation, and after just a glance, he put his eyes back on his phone.

Gu Li was speechless and said, "Are these violent things the only things on your mind? Besides, can I buy these things?"

"No violence? Could it be a pornographic weapon?" Tang Wanru picked up the cardboard box and began to unpack it.

Nan Xiang, who was painting her nails, raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Could it be that you prepared this fun thing for Gu Yuan..."

Having said this, she didn't say anything else. She just turned her head and looked at Lin Xiao with a look that said, "You know what I mean."

"..."

Gu Li, who was about to take a sip of wine, was almost choked by Nan Xiang's words. He rolled his eyes at her and said speechlessly: "They are not in their right minds, and neither are you!"

At this time, Nan Xiang had already opened the courier box and took out a silver thing that looked like a headband: "Is this your weapon?"

As she said that, she put it on her head as if it were a headband, then picked up her phone and started taking selfies.

Seeing this, Gu Li walked over and took the "headband" off her head and explained: "This is a pair of glasses!"

"Glasses?" Several people said in unison, their tone full of confusion. Gu Li smiled, put on the strange glasses in his hand and said, "Remember what I said before about taking the documents at Gong Ming's birthday party?"

"I remember." Lin Xiao nodded, and said in disbelief, "Are you serious? And, you want to use this pair of glasses that look like a headband to steal documents from Gong Ming's house?"

"Have I ever lied? And, this is called taking." Gu Li, who looked like a space-time warrior after putting on the glasses, said confidently, "I have already investigated and planned. During Gong Ming's birthday party, everyone will be in the lobby on the first floor. Gong Ming's study is on the fourth floor. After we sneak up to the second floor, we will face a corridor full of infrared rays, and this pair of glasses can help us see infrared rays..."

"..."

Gu Li told the sisters about his plan, but after listening to him, they all looked speechless.

"After it's over, we're like the midnight phantoms, just like Daredevil disappearing in the wind and climbing walls."

"Armpit Hair Man?"

The three words Tang Wanru uttered instantly embarrassed Gu Li, who was intoxicated with herself. After a moment of daze, she rolled her eyes and said, "Can you speak? That's called Daredevil."

At this time, Lin Xiao's face was full of rejection. She waved her hands and said, "Gu Li, I always thought you were joking, but I didn't expect you to be serious. Let's not talk about how Gong Ming will react when he finds out. Jian Xi will definitely say that I am joking."

"Can you be a little more motivated? You keep talking about Jian Xi's shortcomings all the time. Are we still good friends?"

"Yes...but..."

Gu Li interrupted the guy who valued women over friendship and looked at Nan Xiang and asked, "Nan Xiang, what about you?"

"I..." Nan Xiang looked at Gu Li, then at Lin Xiao, wondering whether she should tell her boss about this.

While she was hesitating, Tang Wanru waved her hand and said, "I'll join! I won't put love before friendship, and besides, Armpit Hair Man sounds cool!"

"It's Daredevil!" Gu Li corrected, then laughed, "Look, they are still like sisters. It's worth my worrying about her health a while ago."

"..."

When this was mentioned, Tang Wanru's expression froze. She had been tortured by those secrets a while ago, and was struggling with herself every day. She finally made up her mind two days ago that she must keep the secret this time, but when Gu Li reminded her of this, she began to avoid looking at the people in front of her again.

Three good girlfriends are all intertwined together.

I really can't hold back these secrets any longer!
Seeing that Lin Xiao and Nan Xiang were still hesitating, Gu Li thought for a moment and asked, "By the way, Lin Xiao, you have been living with me for a while. Does Jian Xi have any objection? Or are you having a conflict?"

As soon as the words fell, Nan Xiang, who was beside Lin Xiao, brightened up. Jian Xi had a conflict with her best friend? Was there any chance for her to get a bargain?
Lin Xiao sighed and shook his head when he heard this, "No, Jian Xi is just a little busy recently. He is often not at home when I go there."

"Really?" Gu Li raised his eyebrows. Why did these words sound so much like the scene where his wife's husband has someone else outside?

However, Jian Xi already had a mistress, and now she had made no secret of it. Although Gu Li was very angry for her best friend, it was not appropriate to say anything more since things had come to this point.

But now after hearing Lin Xiao’s words, she couldn’t help but wonder if Jian Xi was going to have a new love again?

She was not the only one who had the same idea. Nan Xiang also began to have wild thoughts.

She knew that her boss had not been in the company much recently. Since he was not busy with Lin Xiao and herself, could it be that he was only busy with Lin Quan? Or was he busy with Xiao Wu?
……

At the Ye family, in Ye Chuanping's study.

After reading the documents in his hand, Ye Chuanping rubbed his temples and sighed to Jian Xi who was sitting on the sofa opposite the desk: "Although I expected your company to spend a lot of money, I didn't expect it to be spent so quickly."

"Haha, there's nothing we can do, Aunt Ye. The market is heating up now, and many people have jumped in. If you want to earn more in the future, you have to spend more now."

Jian Xi, who had been here many times, did not carry it as usual. He took the orange he had just brought from the living room and peeled it while smiling, "We have only just started. We will spend more in the future."

Ye Chuanping nodded, knowing the situation in her heart, but soon she smiled and said, "But at present, it seems that your valuation has been soaring, and it will double by the end of the year. It has only been a short time, and it has already exceeded 100 million."

"It's all fake, all fake." Jian Yiyuan said modestly while taking a bite of orange.

After a pause, he brought up the main purpose of his visit today: "By the way, Aunt Ye, how are the preparations going at the Gong family?"

Ye Chuanping did not answer immediately. He tapped the table with his fingers and said after a long pause, "At present, it is only enough to eat ME. Gong Xun has been on guard. If it really comes to a critical moment, he can even cut off ME's hand to protect himself."

At this point, Ye Chuanping looked at Jian Xi, frowned and said, "Jian Xi, I've always been curious about why you care so much about this matter. What's the purpose? How much do you think you can get from me?"

"How much is the reward?" Jian Xi smiled. After eating the last orange slice in his hand, he thought for a moment and said seriously, "Aunt Ye, if you can only eat one "ME", then it's too little, because the reward I want is exactly "ME"."

"..."

The study room fell into silence. Ye Chuanping quietly looked at Jian Xi in front of him, his son's good brother. Because of the business cooperation in the past year, he could be regarded as his own son. No matter what, judging from the abilities he had shown so far, he would be a great help to his son.

However, when she heard the compensation the other party wanted, she felt confused in addition to the initial shock.

Jian Xi smiled, crossed his legs and said, "What's wrong, Aunt Ye? Compared with all the industries of the Gong family, only one "ME" should not be too surprising, right?"

"Reason." Ye Chuanping's fingertips, which had just stopped tapping on the table due to surprise, began to make regular, crisp sounds again. She looked at her good nephew and said again, "Reason, I need a reason."

Upon hearing this, Jian Xi smiled and took out a file bag from his pocket. Since he didn't bring a bag, he stuffed the file bag directly into his suit pocket, and now it was wrinkled.

It was unsightly, but that didn't matter because he didn't care what was inside.

Jian Xi stood up and put the file bag on Ye Chuanping's desk, then sat back on the sofa and smiled, "It's more than 500 kilometers from Los Angeles to San Francisco, and the drive takes about six hours. It takes nearly twelve hours to fly directly from San Francisco to Guangdong Province in my country, and then take the green train from Guangdong Province to Shanghai, which takes nearly twenty hours..."

Ye Chuanping listened to him with a frown on her face. Suddenly, something occurred to her and she quickly opened the crumpled file bag on the table.

At this time, Jian Xi continued, "It will take almost two days just to get there. Aunt Ye, do you think the corpse of the Gong family is in good spirits?"

After opening the file bag, Ye Chuanping only took a look inside, then raised her head and said in shock: "Zhou Chongguang is in your hands?"
