What? All the female protagonists have systems, but I don't?

North City, Gu Family!

Gu Qingyi returned home and entered the living room, where she saw her grandfather, Gu Weijun, sitting in the seat of honor with a serious expression. Her parents sat beside him, heads bowed, not daring to breathe.

Behind his grandfather, Long Haochen stood to one side with his hands behind his back.

"Grandpa, I'm back!"

Gu Qingyi immediately spoke softly, as she keenly sensed that something seemed amiss.

"Hmph, so you finally know how to come back?"

Gu Weijun didn't give Gu Qingyi a friendly look, but spoke coldly.

"Why did you leave the company with Haochen, and he's already home, but you're only coming back now?"

Gu Weijun questioned her, and if Gu Qingyi's answer did not satisfy him, then he would surely be punished according to family rules.

"This one……"

Gu Qingyi pondered for a moment before giving her answer.

"Grandpa, you know about some things at the company. There's a mole in our Tengyuan Group. Today I contacted an employee who provided me with clues about the mole, which is why I came back at this time."

Gu Qingyi lied. After all, if her grandfather knew that she had actually been shopping with Lin Yuan for more than two hours, he would probably break her legs and might even dismiss her from her position as president of Tengyuan Group.

"Snapped!"

As soon as Gu Qingyi finished speaking, Gu Weijun slammed his cane hard on the ground, causing cracks to appear on the smooth floor, demonstrating the great force the old man had used.

"Look at this! These are the good daughters you two have raised! They've already learned to lie!"

"You, kneel down!"

Seeing her grandfather's anger, Gu Qingyi naturally didn't dare to say anything more and obediently knelt down in front of him.

Of the entire family, Grandpa was the strictest. Although he had retired and was now at home enjoying his retirement, he still held the power of life and death over the family. In the Gu family, no one dared to obey his orders.

"After you left the company today, you went to Wanjia Plaza and then went shopping with that scoundrel from the Lin family, didn't you?"

"Grandpa, are you investigating me?"

Gu Qingyi wasn't surprised when she heard this. With the Gu family's capabilities, investigating someone would be very easy. What surprised Gu Qingyi was that her grandfather would use this capability on her.

"Before this, you accepted that brat from the Lin family's confession, didn't you?"

"You betrayed me?"

Gu Qingyi looked at Long Haochen. There were very few people who knew that she had accepted Lin Yuan's confession, and Long Haochen was one of them. It must have been Long Haochen who told her.

“I didn’t betray you, Qingyi. I’m doing this for your safety! Lin Yuan is no good person at all. You’ll definitely suffer if you stay with him.”

"Whether I suffer a loss or not, I know what I'm doing, and it's none of your business!"

"Shut up!"

Gu Weijun struck the floor with his cane once more, making a crisp sound. He looked at his granddaughter with a look of disappointment and grief, and said...

"Grandpa arranged for Haochen to stay by your side to protect your safety, but you still did something so dangerous. You have really disappointed Grandpa."

"Grandpa, I can explain these things."

Gu Qingyi hurriedly said, not forgetting to glare at Long Haochen as she spoke. The thing she hated most in her life was being controlled by others, and Long Haochen's act of informing on her had undoubtedly crossed her bottom line.

"Fine, I'll hear how you try to justify yourself!"

Gu Weijun snorted and looked at his granddaughter kneeling on the ground.

"Grandpa, actually everything I did was for Tengyuan Group!"

“Tengyuan Group is your life’s work, and I can’t bear to see it decline. Recently, Tengyuan Group has been facing setbacks in every aspect of its development, and many core secrets have been leaked. It is imperative to eliminate the mole within the company.”

"According to my investigation, among these moles is Chen Zhibao. He is colluding with the Lin family's Tianxing Group. My contact with Lin Yuan, whether it was accepting her confession or going shopping with him, was all just to get close to him and to get evidence from him that Chen Zhibao was colluding with the Tianxing Group."

"What did you say?"

After Gu Qingyi finished speaking, Gu Weijun immediately asked, his expression incredulous, to confirm again.

"You just said, who is the mole in the company?"

Gu Qingyi subtly pursed her lips. Sure enough, her grandfather started to get anxious as soon as Chen Zhibao's name was mentioned.

Grandpa values ​​friendship above all else. Now that he has learned that his friend has betrayed him and the company they co-founded, he has indeed stopped pursuing the past. She has achieved her goal of diverting attention and is now striking while the iron is hot.

"It's Chen Zhibao, Grandpa Chen!"

As Gu Qingyi spoke, she observed her grandfather's expression.

After confirming his answer, Grandpa slumped back in his chair like a deflated balloon. After a long while, he looked at Gu Qingyi and then spoke.

Are you sure you're not mistaken?

"Grandpa, this matter concerns the company's development. How could I possibly make a mistake in something like this? Don't you trust my abilities?"

Gu Weijun did not answer. He did not doubt his granddaughter's abilities. His granddaughter's abilities were even more outstanding than his own son's. Otherwise, he would not have let Gu Qingyi take over the position of president of Tengyuan Group after Gu Qingyi graduated.

"Do you have any evidence?"

"Although we don't have absolute evidence yet, we have some clues. I believe that by following Lin Yuan's connection, we can more quickly find evidence of Chen Zhibao's collusion with outsiders."

Gu Qingyi said with absolute certainty.

"Okay, okay, get up. Grandpa misunderstood you before and blamed you without even knowing the facts. It was Grandpa's fault, and Grandpa apologizes to you."

"It's okay, I love Grandpa the most."

Gu Qingyi stood up and said with a smile.

Crisis resolved.

"Haochen, I'm worried that Qingyi might get hurt if she's out with Lin Yuan alone. You must protect her well."

"Don't worry, Grandpa Gu, I will definitely protect Qingyi well."

Long Haochen also said with a smile.

Based on Gu Qingyi's answer, he understood that Gu Qingyi's acceptance of Lin Yuan's confession was merely a temporary measure, with ulterior motives, not genuine feelings. This greatly relieved him.

"Tomorrow is the birthday of that old geezer from the Ye family. Qingyi, take a gift and go with Haochen."

Gu Weijun looked at Gu Qingyi and began to speak.

With his granddaughter taking charge, he could save himself a lot of trouble, and with Long Haochen by his side, he could be completely at ease.

"understood."

Gu Qingyi replied.

Although he didn't like Long Haochen following him, it was absolutely not something he could bring up at this time, as his grandfather didn't like others opposing him.
