After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

"Brother, please tell me the truth."

With tears in his eyes, Shen Liang finished recounting the whole story.

It turns out that Shen Liang was also one of Old Master Bo's mercenaries.

However, as a low-level mercenary, he did not have the opportunity to meet Old Master Bo alone.

As mercenaries, they are under the command of their mercenary leader and are only responsible for carrying out their orders.

He was also very shocked when he saw Shen Yao appear in Paris.

Later, after making inquiries, he was even more shocked to learn that Shen Yao and Bo Yuxiu had actually gotten married.

Back then, when Gu Tianyou hired some thugs to teach Shen Yao a lesson, Shen Liang disregarded the rules and appeared in time to save Shen Yao.

After returning to the team, he was confined by the leader for half a month and banned from all activities for a year.

Later, when he learned that Shen Yao's condition had stabilized and that she had divorced Gu Tianyou, he finally felt relieved.

Shen Liang's subsequent actions were mostly conducted overseas.

He knew very little about Shen Yao.

It wasn't until I saw Shen Yao at the hotel in Paris.

He then learned that Shen Yao had once again become embroiled in the power struggles among wealthy and influential families.

He wanted to tell Shen Yao to leave Paris as soon as possible.

However, during missions, he cannot leave the group and can only watch helplessly as everything unfolds.

“Yaoyao, although your brother feels sorry for you, the Bo family is too complicated. They have deep involvement in politics and the military. It’s better for you to leave them.”

"Brother, was Bo Yuxiu's death an accident, or were you involved?"

For some reason, Shen Yao asked that question.

Shen Liang sat there uneasily, feeling the gaze of Shen Yao.

"President Gu and Old Master Bo joined forces to try and break you and Bo Yuxiu up. Bo Yuxiu became alert and sent people to track them down, inadvertently discovering Shen Dequan's actions. As for who is behind Shen Dequan, I still don't know."

After hearing Shen Liang's words, Shen Yao felt like her brain couldn't process what he was saying.

Originally, she was just asking casually as a probe.

Unexpectedly, I learned such astonishing news from Shen Liang.

"Yaoyao, none of these people from the wealthy families in Shenzhen are clean. Be extremely careful when dealing with them, understand? Especially Gu Tianyou, it seems he's started targeting you again recently."

"okay, I get it."

Shen Yao's mind went blank. Recalling many details from the past, she felt a chill run down her spine.

In the future, she will most likely face the entire powerful Bo family.

Will she be able to save the baby in her womb?

Just then, Shen Liang's phone rang.

He hurriedly walked to the side and listened.

A short while later, he quickly walked back to Shen Yao.

"Yaoyao, I'm going to the airport. I may not have the chance to come back to China again. Take good care of yourself."

As he spoke, Shen Liang turned around and began packing his luggage.

Shen Yao wanted to help him, but Shen Liang told her to leave quickly.

"It's so late, you should go home quickly. I know you have your own career now and are respected by many people, so I'm relieved. Go on your way. Someone will come to pick me up later, so don't let them see you."

As he spoke, he shoved Shen Yao out of the room and closed the iron door.

Shen Yao stood in front of the cold iron gate, whispered "Take care, brother," and then turned and left, getting into her car and driving away from the abandoned factory.

Hearing the car drive away, Shen Liang slumped onto the cold floor and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He pulled a doctor's prescription from his pocket: late-stage liver cancer.

He doesn't have many days left to live.

Therefore, he was ruthlessly kicked out by the mercenaries.

During his most impoverished and destitute period, he was recruited into the mercenary army.

They would spend their money on extravagant lifestyles and gambling.

It seemed that only in this way could he vent his inner turmoil.

Every time he went to see Shen Yao, he would dress up deliberately and never mention what he had done.

He always said that he would quit after finishing this one deal.

But once you're on that pirate ship, how can you get off so easily?

Year after year, working day and night, risking their lives.

Ultimately, however, he died young.

He looked at the bank card in his hand and smiled. "Yaoyao, I've never been a good brother. Before I leave this world, let me be a good brother."

That night, Shen Yao tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Several times he wanted to call Gu Tianyou and question him about whether Bo Yuxiu's death was related to him.

However, she also felt that if she asked him that, Gu Tianyou would definitely say no.

"Am I thinking too badly of Gu Tianyou?"

Shen Yao lay in bed, reflecting on herself.

Lost in her thoughts, she fell asleep.

Next month.

Shen Yao became even busier.

She wanted to complete the company's IPO and the hospital's opening as soon as possible, before her pregnancy became too obvious.

Gu Tianyou seemed to have encountered something during this past month and did not bother Shen Yao.

In fact, Gu Tianyou did encounter some trouble.

Ye Ying'er has made some shady moves in the real estate business again.

The Gu family's real estate business has suffered losses amounting to tens of billions of yuan.

People within the company have also split into two factions in response to the changing situation.

The first option is to abandon the real estate business segment and sell it off as a package to reduce the burden on the Gu Group.

The second group is to stop expanding and seek new funding.

Gu Tianyou felt a splitting headache as he listened to the two factions arguing incessantly.

"Shut up!"

He slammed the pen heavily on the table.

He glared angrily at everyone present.

"You all need to come up with a plan, outlining the pros and cons of your proposed solution! Meeting adjourned!"

Out of the office.

Gu Tianyou stormed back to his office, plopped down in a chair, and rubbed his aching temples.

Chen Jie came over at this moment and refilled his coffee.

"Mr. Gu, please have some coffee."

Gu Tianyou took the coffee, took a sip, and looked at Chen Jie.

"If it were you, what would you choose?"

Chen Jie scratched his head and said cautiously, "President Gu, I think that since there is no room for profit growth in the real estate sector, continuously investing funds is like filling a bottomless pit. It would be better to give up as soon as possible and switch to an area with more room for growth."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Gu Tianyou cautiously, afraid that he might say something wrong and anger his boss.

“Yes, the real estate market has become saturated after decades of development,” Gu Tianyou murmured, making a decision with great pleasure.

"Chen Jie, contact the legal department and the finance department to come up with the best solution for selling the real estate as soon as possible."

"Yes, Mr. Gu!"

Since it's not making money and is constantly draining us dry, we should temporarily abandon this business.

Gu Tianyou would not allow the downturn in the real estate market to drag down the entire Gu Group.

After giving his instructions, Gu Tianyou noticed that Chen Jie showed no sign of leaving, which puzzled him.

"Why don't you leave?"

Chen Jie took out his phone from his pocket and showed one of the photos to Gu Tianyou.

"Mr. Gu, it seems Miss Shen went on a blind date."
