ligent, they involve foreign companies acquiring state-owned enterprises. The cooperating parties mentioned in the case studies include Huaxin Accounting Firm and appraisal agencies. We have collabora...In Wang Binghai's intricate web of connections, the most prominent name is Gu Ruandong's, and above it, obscured by mosaic tiles, lies a cloud of mystery—the Beijing Lu family, her grandfather.

Lu Kuò also saw the news and called, "Yáo Yáo, what's going on How did grandpa end up mixed up with Gu Ruǎn Dōng and the people from Sēn Bīng Industrial"

Lu Kuo was unaware of what had happened to Gu Ruandong recently, nor did he know about the recent tribulations Yaoyao had gone through. All he could see was the old master, who had always been upright and unwavering, suddenly entangled in these messy affairs.

"What on earth is Gu Ruandong doing" he asked again.

"Bro, come pick up Ruanruan. I'm going home first."

Lu YaoYao couldn't say it. To tell Lu Kuo that she went to the capital to beg her grandfather for help, asking him to save Gu Ruandong To tell Lu Kuo that she had dragged her grandfather into this vortex To tell Lu Kuo that she might have harmed the Lu family

This news obviously came from a leak, and it's aimed at Gu Ruandong and the Lu family. There is detailed evidence of Gu Ruandong bribing Senbing Industrial Group in the past.

This evidence, she was seeing for the first time.

Gu Ruandong was on the phone in his study at home. The lights were off, and he was hidden in the darkness. His voice came and went intermittently, as if he was talking to Baosang, Xu Zefang, and a few others.

His voice was the calm after a storm, a calmness that was unsettling.

"So back then, the shell companies Bao Shu used to launder money through the American banking system, one of them was under my name"

... Bao Shu once illegally sold weapons and traded large amounts of metal materials to war-torn countries, with some of the funds flowing into overseas accounts. One such account belonged to a shell company under Gu Ruandong's name. This shell company is currently...

The company has been deregistered.

He had always kept himself strictly separate from Boss Bao financially back then, never getting involved in any way. But he didn't expect that Boss Bao would have a trick up his sleeve, intending to restrain him and get him to work for Bao Sang.

The love he cherished so dearly was no more than this.

His voice was swallowed by the darkness. Lu Yaoyao stood at the threshold of the study, and with a click, she switched on the light. The figure standing by the window stiffened, turning to look at her, eyes still harboring a flash of darkness and malice before they could be concealed.

Their eyes met, and Gu Ruandong stared for a long moment before slowly pulling back his gaze. He tried to regain his usual composure, but it felt forced and stiff.

Yao Yao spoke first: "Gu Ruan Dong, both my grandpa and I trust you so much. Especially grandpa, he brought you back without any hesitation or doubt."

Her voice trembled, and she shook uncontrollably, leaning against the door for support.

Gu Ruandong strode over, wanting to hug her and explain that he had just found out about it too, betrayed by someone he trusted. But would explanations help The damage was done. Every step they'd taken together left its mark on him.

All he could say was: "Yaoyao, I will solve it."

Lu Yaoyao took a step back, preventing him from hugging her. "Gu Ruandong, you shouldn't have deceived us."

She finished speaking and went upstairs alone, locking her door, not wanting to say another word to him.

Actually, she didn't care how many mistakes he had made in the past. In business, let alone what he had done, even her father Lu Shaohang, how many things were truly clean and could withstand scrutiny

What bothered her was his deception and lack of honesty, which put both her and her grandfather in this passive situation.

The collapse of trust is the beginning of suspicion, and even past beautiful moments become evidence of his long-planned schemes.

He was exposed for everything, all connected to Bao Sang, all in the northwest.

What a coincidence, he went to the northwest to film for his grandfather, and he took her there for their honeymoon. Many things are too delicate to think about. As his friends said, Gu Ruandong never does a losing business.

Her phone was eerily silent all night. Besides Lu Kuang who called her once when he saw the news to ask what happened, no one else contacted her.

She called her grandpa, and his voice was calm: "It's alright, Grandpa will take care of it."

She called her uncle, and he also comforted her, saying it wasn't a big deal.

Call Lu Kuo and couldn't help crying. Lu Kuo is back in Beijing, his tone bad: "Stop crying, there are so many men in the Lu family, it's not your turn to worry."

Though everything stemmed from her, not a single person in her family blamed her. Instead, they comforted her, always treating her like a child and protecting her, even if she did something terrible.

The public has little interest in Gu Ruandong's various deeds, because his original image is already there, with no contrast. The focus of the public is on whether the Lu family, which has always been upright and honorable, has harbored or participated in illegal criminal activities in this incident.

Just like dominoes falling one after another, the investigation into Master Lu's family began with the patriarch and extended to Tingjing Finance. Regardless of the outcome of the investigation, the Lu family has been severely weakened, its foundations shaken.

She was frantic but helpless, could only watch and wait for news. She couldn't eat or sleep, just enduring it like this.

Gu Ruandong worked long hours every day, coming home late. She didn't care what he did or where he went, but he always came back every day.

One thing is to go upstairs and see her.

"Cuiping said, 'You haven't eaten today again'"

He sat beside her bed, asking her softly as if nothing had happened. Lu Yao Yao couldn't do that, but she also didn't have the energy to argue with him. She turned away from him, not wanting to acknowledge him.

"Yao Yao, wake up and have some porridge." He forcefully picked her up from the bed.

"Let me go." Lu Yaoyao struggled, unwilling to have any physical contact with him. The embrace she once craved now felt repulsive, even nauseating.

She always maintained a surface of decorum, never quarreling with him and never uttering a word against him in front of the Lu family. Even when his mother called, she simply said everything was fine.

But privately, she couldn't face him anymore.

At first, everyone in her family opposed their relationship, but she resolutely chose him because she loved him and believed he loved her too. However, when she discovered his love was ulterior, everything soured and became meaningless.

Her innocence and naivety were her undoing. A man like him, who emerged from the darkness, could never truly love a blank slate like her.

Gu Ruandong's eyes were bloodshot, and he held her tightly, refusing to let go despite her struggles.

"Yaoyao, no matter how angry you are with me, don't hurt yourself."

He held her in one arm, his hand cupping her chin, while the other hand scooped a spoonful of congee and fed it into her mouth.

He was strong, his grip on her jaw preventing her from closing her mouth. But she refused to swallow, the porridge running down her chin and onto the front of his shirt.

She hadn't eaten much these past few days, and was already exhausted. If this continued, her face would become even paler, and her breathing would become even more labored, as if she wouldn't be able to catch her next breath.

Gu Ruandong finally gave up and put down the spoon.

Stay by her side, put her to bed. Sit quietly on the edge of the bed and watch her. Don't leave.ts. Currently, for the chapters of "East Soil Big Sugar," over 5000 people are reading each chapter online. This is only from Migu Reading, and there are even more on many other websites. 。So, what I...
