Qin Xiang thought Lu Ning must be being kept by Gu Yan's cousin.

Lu Dongyou's expression was unreadable: "Are you sure?"

"Brother, think about it. Actually, there were already clues in City A. Now Lu Ning has come to Yunjing and is working at this company. She has also become a shareholder of the company for no reason. There must be something fishy going on."

Lu Dongyou knew very well that this method was indeed frequently used within the industry.

You can easily start a small company and use the money to give to your lover; it's all small change.

But Lu Dongyou never expected that Lu Ning would actually manage to climb up to the heir of the Gu family. She's really got some guts!

Seeing that her older brother actually believed her words, Qin Xiang's eyes flashed with smugness: "Big brother, we have to think of a way. If Lu Ning has someone to back her up, won't she always be looked down upon by Lu Ning!"

"If she dares, I'll find a way to meet with that person from the Gu family and talk about Lu Ning."

He was, after all, Lu Ning's own brother. If she was keeping his sister as a mistress, she couldn't just refuse to see him.

We can't let Lu Ning make another mistake.

-

Lu Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief when she came outside.

The person in charge couldn't help but complain: "Lu Ning, your older brother has gone too far! Before Lawyer Feng arrived, how did he mock and suppress you? And now he's changed his tune so quickly, even turning around and morally blackmailing you! It's as if you forced them to steal our trade secrets!"

I'm so angry.

Lu Ning looked up at Attorney Feng and said, "Thank you so much this time, and thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work, it's just my job."

Seeing Lu Ning's polite demeanor, Attorney Feng recalled the Lu family's attitude earlier and realized that the Lu family was indeed quite biased.

But with that Ji family member backing Lu Ning up, ten Lu families wouldn't be enough to make a dish.

Last time, Ji Chiqian was probably in a car accident with this girl, right? He was the one who cleaned up the mess and asked her to keep it a secret.

I finally met the girl from the Ji family who was so protective of her.

After exchanging contact information with Attorney Feng, Lu Ning left.

Lu Ning remembered that Gu Yan had mentioned his cousin earlier, and she should ask him about it, but she felt it was inappropriate to ask Lawyer Feng.

It would be better to go back and ask Gu Zifeng.

Strangely enough, Gu Zifeng also has the surname Gu.

Lu Ning returned to the company with her colleagues. The artificial intelligence project was mostly completed, and she needed to check the progress to see if there were any problems.

With Attorney Feng representing the company, everyone felt confident, and their work efficiency improved significantly.

Lu Ning sat in front of the computer, writing code and testing their project data.

When Ji Chiqian arrived, he saw her wearing glasses and sitting in front of the computer, working diligently.

Her hands skillfully typed code on the keyboard, her serious expression making her look a little dazed.

Gu Zifeng stood to the side and said in a low voice, "Lu Dongyou contacted me through an intermediary, saying he wanted to talk to me about Lu Ning. It seems that they became suspicious after Attorney Feng went there today."

Ji Chiqian withdrew his gaze: "Go see him and see what he can talk about."

"Alright, I'll go over and probe Lu Dongyou to see if he's found out anything from Gu Yan. I'll be going now."

Gu Zifeng left after he finished speaking, since Ji Chiqian was actually the major shareholder of the company.

He was an openly obvious shield, so Lu Dongyou immediately targeted him.

Ji Chiqian sat in his office, turned on his computer, and began to check the artificial intelligence project to see if there were any problems.

Time flew by, the sun set, and it was completely dark outside.

After Lu Ning finished the test, she rubbed her neck. Her colleagues had all gone home.

She looked up and saw that the boss's office light was still on.

Could it be Gu Zifeng?

Lu Ning walked over and knocked on the door. A man's cold voice came from inside: "Come in."

It was Ji Chiqian's voice?

Lu Ning pushed open the door and saw Ji Chiqian sitting in front of the computer, wearing a white long-sleeved shirt with the sleeves rolled up to reveal his well-defined forearms.

She asked in surprise, "It's you?"

"Why can't it be me? You're so disappointed to see me?"

Ji Chiqian leaned back in his chair, his gaze fixed on her.

Lu Ning leaned against the door: "I thought it was Gu Zifeng, but it was you. It seems you're quite a responsible consultant."

"Come here, have you found any problems on your end?"

Lu Ning walked over and stood in front of the table: "We did find a small problem, we'll need to have a meeting later to fix it together."

Ji Chiqian tapped on the table: "Come and see if the problem I found is the same as yours."

Was he also testing it?

Lu Ning walked around the table and went straight to his side.

Ji Chiqian stood up and gave his seat to Lu Ning. He got up to pour a glass of water and placed it next to her.

Lu Ning spun the mouse and glanced at the error he had found: "As expected, you also think there's a problem with this. I was a little unsure just now."

It has to be admitted that Ji Chiqian is still a bit better than her.

The man bent over, looking at the computer screen: "Actually, this is quite easy to see..."

He rested one hand on the edge of the table, explaining the problem calmly and patiently.

Lu Ning was listening attentively at first, but then she suddenly turned her head and noticed that they were standing very close together.

He bent down, almost as if he were holding her in his arms.

Lu Ning immediately lost her focus. She grabbed the water glass next to her and took a few sips, as she was thirsty anyway.

Ji Chiqian then stopped and glanced at the cup in her hand: "Thirsty?"

Lu Ning nodded.

He smiled and said, "This is the cup I drank from."

He drank it?

Lu Ning's face flushed considerably, and she quickly put down the cup: "Then I'll pour you another cup."

"No need, let's go eat."

Ji Chiqian straightened up and distanced himself from the two of them, as if the momentary ambiguity between them had never existed.

Lu Ning also stood up from her chair: "It's getting late. I'll go back to my dorm first, so I don't miss my chance to get back."

The dormitory has access control.

Ji Chiqian glanced at the time; it was indeed a bit late. He remembered that the dormitories at Yunnan University closed at 11 p.m.

He said, "I'll take you home."

Lu Ning left the company with Ji Chiqian, and she sat in the passenger seat.

The car was quiet, and Lu Ning felt a little uncomfortable. She took the initiative to start a conversation: "Didn't Gu Zifeng come today?"

"What do you want from him?"

"You know which lawyer he hired for the case? Attorney Feng, that very famous lawyer!"

Ji Chiqian replied calmly, "Yes, I know."

What is the relationship between Gu Zifeng and Gu Yan?

Lu Ning knew that Gu Zifeng was quite wealthy, but she didn't expect him to be related to the Gu family of Yunjing.

Ji Chiqian's car stopped at the traffic light: "Why do you ask that?"

"Gu Yan went to the court with Qin Xiang today. He said something strange, which meant that Attorney Feng was able to take on this case because of his cousin."

Lu Ning didn't mention what Gu Yan said about her having an affair with someone.

Ji Chiqian knew he couldn't hide it.

He thought for a moment and then said, "He is indeed Gu Yan's cousin."

Lu Ning was somewhat shocked: "Gu Zifeng is the heir of the Gu family in Yunjing?"

She hadn't expected Gu Zifeng to have such a powerful background!

She looked intently at the man driving beside her: "I didn't expect your good brother to be so rich."

Ji Chiqian replied somewhat guiltily, "It's alright, I guess."

"Then why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"It's not necessary."

Lu Ning thought about it carefully and realized that it seemed unnecessary; she guessed that Gu Zifeng didn't want to reveal his identity either.

Not long after, the car stopped outside the school.

After Lu Ning got out of the car, she waved to him and said, "Drive carefully."

"Lu Ning, instead of spending time with your sugar daddy, you're going on a date with this penniless guy. Aren't you afraid that Young Master Gu will find out and dump you?"

Qin Xiang reeked of alcohol mixed with perfume, clearly having just returned from a bar.

Ji Chiqian's face instantly turned cold.
