The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 344 Another Multiple Choice Question

March 5th, Saturday, Sinan Mansion.

Just after the Chinese New Year last month, this garden house was very deserted because there were few people. However, when the midday sun shone through, the quiet and deserted place also seemed peaceful and harmonious.

At that time, the breeze was gentle and the mood was comfortable.

But now, no matter how warm the sun is in early spring, no matter how vigorous the vitality of the sprouting green plants in the garden is, it cannot cover up the solemn, gloomy, and even slightly desolate atmosphere in the house.

The door to the living room was pushed open, and Gu Yuan's leather shoes made a dull sound as they stepped on the oak floor, breaking the depressing atmosphere in the room that made it difficult to breathe.

"Gu Li, are you okay? Why did you come back just now?"

Gu Yuan's voice sounded a little anxious, but when he saw his girlfriend drinking champagne slowly on the sofa, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

"I have to put on a full show. I can't faint in the interrogation room one second and be released from the hospital the next day, right?"

Gu Li raised his eyelids and replied casually, then slowly turned the pages of the "Monthly Sutra" on his knees.

Opposite her, Gu Zhun leaned on the sofa, looking up at the ceiling without any reaction.

Gu Yuan sat down beside Gu Li's legs, and after taking a closer look at his girlfriend's condition, he frowned and said, "Didn't the auditor take you away? Why did you end up in the interrogation room?"

"How should I know?" Gu Li smacked his lips, took a sip of champagne and said easily, "Maybe it's because I don't know anything about it?"

"Are you injured?"

"Come on, have you watched too many TV dramas? Do you think this is ancient times? You'll be beaten with thirty sticks before going to class?" Gu Li smiled, "Besides, this is just a summons at most, and I didn't kill anyone or rob. It's just a financial problem, it's not that serious."

"Your situation is not serious?" Gu Yuan said in a deep voice, "Sheng Gu's 200 million financial loophole was pinned on you. The first time, they went straight to the company. What about after that? Did they ask the police to break down the door?"

"You really think highly of me! But the police got involved before the audit was even completed. Maybe next time they will break into the house."

Gu Li didn't show any panic on her face. After finishing the last sip of the wine in the glass, she put the glass on the coffee table and continued, "But it's okay. I have a certificate issued by the hospital. They shouldn't arrest me again in the short term. At worst, I can be released on medical parole."

"Medical parole is only available after sentencing. You should be on bail pending trial." At this time, Gu Zhun, who had been looking at the ceiling, suddenly spoke up.

After saying this, he looked at his elder sister and future brother-in-law opposite him, sighed, shook his head, and poured himself a glass of wine.

Gu Li glared at his brother in annoyance, but Gu Yuan didn't care whether his girlfriend would be released on medical parole or on bail pending trial in the future, because he couldn't accept either.

But he still asked, "So you were so relaxed about your sudden admission to the hospital? Didn't they suspect you were faking illness?"

Gu Li, who was also pouring himself a drink, looked a little unnatural when he heard this, but he quickly took the opportunity to adjust his expression and said, "So what if I suspect you? It's just a preliminary summons. Besides, I have made arrangements in advance at the hospital."

Gu Li's vague words did not make Gu Yuan too suspicious. He knew that the other party had been preparing for Shenggu's financial loopholes during this period, including the answers given during the interrogation. Pretending to be sick was probably something the other party had planned, so it was normal to arrange for the hospital in advance.

At this moment, Gu Li was a little dazed as she looked at the wine in the glass. Her younger brother had asked her this question before, and she had also fooled him by pretending to be sick.

But only she herself knew that she was not pretending to be sick.

When she fainted at the door of the interrogation room, she didn't know whether she should be happy or sad at the last moment.

She knew about her illness last year, but at that time she had a lot of things to do and could not spare the time to seek treatment, and she did not want others to know about her illness.

She had the heavy burden of taking care of her family in front, the tumor behind, and a bunch of troubles from her boyfriend, best friend, and younger brother in between. It was under such heavy pressure that she suddenly exploded at Gong Ming's birthday party that night and scolded everyone.

But it must be said that after scolding her that night, she did feel that her body seemed to have improved a lot and she felt relaxed all over.

Just with her best friends... Gu Li felt sad, but sometimes she thought it was good this way. If her best friends still lived with her, maybe she wouldn't be able to hide her illness.

After all, she might not have cleaned up the blood stains in the toilet properly...

Time, oh, time, what I lack most now is time, Gu Li sighed in his heart.

"Ugh!"

Gu Yuan also sighed at this time, and looked at his girlfriend and said, "Why did the auditors suddenly come to our house? How did Shenggu's financial loopholes get exposed?"

"I don't know." Gu Li shook his head, "I didn't think it would be so early."

"Could it be Gong Ming?"

"No, it's not like that. Gong Ming told me about this at the beginning. If he wanted to expose it, he would have done so long ago. Besides, the auditors suddenly came to the company without even saying hello, which is not a good thing for Gong Ming."

Gu Li shook her head and analyzed again. She was very familiar with the feeling of being stabbed suddenly. She had been stabbed several times before. But this time it made her even more confused. The purpose was to put her in jail.

Gu Zhun put down his wine glass, crossed his legs and continued to help analyze: "And as mentioned before, Shenggu was acquired by the Gong family. If the Gong family exposes this matter now, it will be risky for them. They might accidentally implicate the Gong family. After all, the problems of ME are no less serious than those of Shenggu."

"That was done by someone outside? Who would be so hostile towards you?" Gu Yuan said with a frown.

"Your mother."

"..."

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and said angrily: "What are you talking about? My mother is so bored that she wants to send you to jail?"

"You asked yourself who is so hostile to me." Gu Li shrugged, "I can't think of anyone other than your mother. She doesn't want to see me and you hanging around together all the time."

"Impossible, my mother is not that kind of person! Unless she doesn't want me as her son anymore!" said the romantic and filial son righteously.

Although saying this makes it seem like his left and right brains are fighting each other, it is not surprising, because he and his girlfriend are both in the same boat, and he and his biological mother are also mother and son through the same umbilical cord.

There will always be times in life when people are playing two-timing.

Gu Li snorted and sneered: "Okay, I just said that, but..."

She paused for a moment, then narrowed her eyes and smiled at Gu Yuan: "What if it's really your mother who wants to send me to jail?"

"..."

The classic question of who is more important, biological mother or wife, arises again. Although Gu Yuan has not married Gu Li yet, in his heart, the other party has long been his life partner. Otherwise, do you really think that what he said at the beginning that the other party was already a part of his body was just talk?
The two titles of a romantic and a filial son were imposed on him at the same time, especially when the two objects did not get along, it would become a fatal curse that kept shrinking around his head. People will always make such damn choices in this life.

At this time, not only Gu Li was looking at him, but even Gu Zhun was staring at him as if he was watching a show.

"Fortunately, I like men." Gu Zhun looked at me with some sympathy. It was really hard to be a man. Fortunately, I would not have to face such a life-threatening problem in the future.

The child has become homosexual. Are there other issues more important in the parents' minds?
After a long battle between his left and right brains, Gu Yuan finally faced Gu Li and said the answer given by one half of his brain:
"Anyway, I will stand by your side. At worst... we will fight again on the battlefield!"

In an instant, sunlight shone in from the window, the faint fragrance of flowers from the garden drifted in, and the chirping of birds outside also came in. The atmosphere was no longer depressing, the sight was no longer gloomy, and even the tumor in my chest didn't seem to hurt anymore!
"Puchi! Hahaha!" Gu Li laughed out loud, and even Gu Zhun and Gu Yuan were infected and started laughing.

But as Gu Li laughed, she had to drink some wine to hold back the tears that were about to fall from her eyes.

"Why are you talking so seriously?" Legendary dog ​​trainer Gu Li scolded and patted her boyfriend, "Do you really think I want to compete with your mother? It hasn't come to that yet. I know this has nothing to do with your mother."

"No matter who it is, I'm on your side!" Gu Yuan restrained his smile and said seriously.

"Okay, I know, I'm touched too." Gu Li nodded in response after adjusting her mood, but she soon sighed again, "But if this continues, I think you should say these words to me when you visit me in prison in a few months."

"Sister, don't be so pessimistic. We still have time to find a turnaround." Gu Zhun, who had been eating dog food, also spoke at this time.

"Yeah Gu Li, there is always a way."

"Then tell me, what should I do now?" Gu Li said helplessly, "Sell everything I have to fix the loophole, and then beg the mastermind to let me go? Please, I don't even know who attacked me now."

As soon as she said this, Gu Yuan and Gu Zhun fell into silence.

Seeing this, Gu Li shook his head. Just as he was about to get up and get some wine to drown his sorrows, Gu Yuan spoke after thinking for a while.

"Gu Li, don't you think Sheng Gu's financial problems this time are very similar to the ones Gong Ming's family had?"

Gu Li paused, frowned, and waited for him to continue.

"I know that when you were the financial director, you always wanted to find out the financial problems of ME and get hold of something against the Gong family, although you never succeeded." Gu Yuan's words made Gu Li's face flash with embarrassment. He had been investigating for so long but hadn't found anything crucial. In the end, he had to go to Gong Ming's house to steal the account book, but still ended in failure.

Gu Yuan continued, "Although I am reluctant to replace you as the financial director, I think this may be an opportunity, so I have been investigating this matter during this period."

"Have you found out?" Gu Li asked subconsciously, but soon she sighed, "What can I do if I find out? I am in a difficult situation now, and I am going to drag the Gong family into the water with me? Then I will simply speed up the process of digging my own grave."

If he had not gotten into trouble with Shenggu, he could have used this so-called handle to take back Shenggu, but in the current situation, he estimated that he would not have enough time to drag the Gong family down, and it was probably all over.

After all, my father died too suddenly, and I didn't successfully take over his network of connections. How could a weak woman with only money and who was about to go to jail have the ability to take away the Gong family?

Gu Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "We have found out that ME has indeed lost a large sum of money, and there are some inexplicable and toxic financial products to cover up the flow of this money. Don't you think..."

Gu Li's face changed. She realized something. Sure enough, she heard Gu Yuan continue, "Is this very similar to Sheng Gu's financial problems? Both companies lost a large sum of money at the same time, and the way they covered it up was also very similar. Isn't it a bit too coincidental?"

The living room fell into silence. Gu Li's expression changed, and his eyes were sometimes clear, and sometimes more confused.

Gu Zhun, who was also listening, thought of something at this time and said, "Yes, sister, do you feel that Sheng Gu's problem and ME's problem appeared in front of us almost at the same time? You have been investigating for almost a year and still can't figure it out, but just when you are about to get the Gong family account book, Sheng Gu's problem appeared. Is this a diversion, or is there any other purpose?"

"..."

The atmosphere in the room became solemn again. After a long while, Gu Li finally spoke: "Gong Ming deliberately left Sheng Gu's financial confirmation letter there for me to find. This was 100% his way of diverting my attention."

"But diverting attention is just the purpose of the Gong family because they don't want me to continue investigating the Gong family's problems." Gu Li continued, "They won't really expose this matter."

"Then we've reached a dead end." Gu Zhun frowned and patted his shoulders with both hands. "Could it be that the Gong family has internal disagreements and has gone too far?"

The three of them were confused by this question. Gu Li tapped the cup wall with his fingertips. After thinking for a while, he suddenly asked Gu Yuan, "How did you find out all this? I remember that I had a lot of difficulties when I was looking for it, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of stealing the account book."

"This..." Gu Yuan looked a little strange for a moment. He hesitated after looking at his smart girlfriend before continuing, "Is it difficult?"

"..."

"The financial system is indeed encrypted, but I didn't encounter the kind of situation you said where everyone was giving me trouble. Although it took some effort, I feel it's okay."

"Gong Ming gave you the authority?"

"How come? I haven't asked him, but there is someone in the financial system who has the authority."

"Others won't stop you? Will they give you permission?"

"I didn't block them, but I borrowed the permission of another person on the pretext of checking the financial situation in the past two years, and I happened to be able to see content from a longer period of time."

"Is that person a man or a woman?"

"female."

"..."

Gu Li felt like she was about to spit out blood. She didn’t even feel jealous or suspect that her boyfriend was using a beauty trick. She just wanted to say:
"What kind of man-loving world is this?!"

"..."

Gu Yuan was also a little speechless. He had heard Gu Li say before how difficult the situation was and how the company from top to bottom was holding back. He thought this was like a spy mission and had made a lot of preparations.

He even wondered if he could ask his biological mother for help and ask her to help him think of a solution.

But the result doesn’t seem to be that hellishly difficult?

There are difficulties, but not many.

No need to ask my mother for help.

"Well, so, what you should do next..." Gu Yuan coughed lightly, then retracted the look that looked at his girlfriend as if she were a piece of trash and asked.

"Go find Gong Xun!" Gu Li replied in a loud voice.
