Xue Liang was a little regretful. “Although he only came into contact with musical instruments in his 20s, with his talent, I believe that it won’t be long before he can completely reach the standard of a concert hall performer.”
Qiao Xi was slightly surprised. Gu Yao was really a diamond in the rut!
She glanced at Gu Zheng, who was beside her. His eyes were a little cold, probably feeling sorry for Gu Yao for the past 20 years.
Just then, Song Shijing reported respectfully, “President, I tried to use some tricks on Huang Lilan, but she still insists that she doesn’t know who the young master’s biological parents are. She said that he’s a child she found in the orphanage.”
Song Shijing was silent for a moment. “I don’t think she’s lying.”
If she still said the same thing despite being tortured, it meant that Huang Lilan was most likely telling the truth. Moreover, she was already locked in the dark dungeon. She probably only wanted to live a peaceful life. There was no need for her to endure torture to keep this secret.
Song Shijing had already investigated. Gu Yao was indeed adopted by Huang Lilan from the orphanage, but the orphanage had already closed down and the dean was missing. Moreover, that was 20 years ago. At that time, the internet was not developed, and the people in the orphanage had long gone their separate ways. There was no way to contact them. Even with Gu Zheng’s current power, it was very difficult to investigate.
An idea suddenly appeared in Qiao Xi’s mind. Perhaps the genes of some families were really powerful. Gu Yao was such a kind, cute, and smart child. His parents must be very outstanding too. They must have lost Gu Yao for some reason back then. They did not abandon him.
If they could find Gu Yao’s biological parents, he would have a way forward. Those who once mocked him for being naughty, ignorant, and incompetent would also be shocked by his powerful musical talent.
…
The next morning, Gu Zheng drove Qiao Xi to Li City University. When they arrived at the entrance of the teaching building, Gu Zheng was still not in a rush to leave.
“Senior!” Zhou Guanjin came out of the door. He pretended to casually greet Gu Zheng, but when he approached, his gaze suddenly changed. He lowered his voice and said, “Follow me!”
Gu Zheng paused, parked the car, and followed Zhou Guanjin into his office.
As soon as he entered, Zhou Guanjin asked with a mysterious expression, “Have you offended someone recently?”
Gu Zheng leaned lazily against the back of the chair and raised an eyebrow. “I’ve offended too many people. Which one are you talking about?”
Zhou Guanjin explained, “Stars has recently received a few orders to investigate you.”
“What’s the problem?” Gu Zheng’s expression was indifferent. It was no longer surprising to him.
“There’s a problem!” A strange look flashed across Zhou Guanjin’s eyes. He frowned and said, “Not only do they want Stars to investigate you, but they also found Ling Pavilion. They want to…”
“They want to kill me?” Gu Zheng asked indifferently. His tone was calm as if he had just said something unimportant.
Was such a small matter worth Zhou Guanjin’s mysteriousness?
Zhou Guanjin was triggered by Gu Zheng’s attitude. He widened his eyes and said, “Senior, someone wants to kill you! Aren’t you nervous at all? It’s possible that these assassins are in the university! There’s more than one of them!”
The corners of Gu Zheng’s mouth curled up into a disdainful smile. “So many people want my life. Looks like I’m quite important to them. Then let’s reveal some information to them so that the members of Stars can accept the money with a clear conscience.”
Zhou Guanjin was about to nod when he suddenly froze.
He wanted to reveal the news to the people who wanted to kill him? Senior was too arrogant, right?
After a while, Gu Zheng left Li City University. He did not care about this matter, but Zhou Guanjin was a little worried. His senior did not take his life seriously at all. He wanted to talk to Xi Xi and get her to persuade his senior to cherish his life!
Zhou Guanjin had that thought in his heart, so he looked up Qiao Xi’s class schedule on the university’s official website and ran to the classroom in advance to wait for Qiao Xi to finish her class.
A few minutes later, the bell signaling the end of class rang. Qiao Xi had a morning class today, and the break between classes was 15 minutes. It was enough for him to explain things to Qiao Xi.
He had just stood up and walked toward the classroom when he saw a boy hurriedly running in front of Qiao Xi. His eyes carried a trace of arrogance, and his actions were frivolous. He used an extremely confident tone to say loudly, “I like you!”
Zhou Guanjin: “!!!”
Before he could rush over, he heard Qiao Xi’s cold voice. “Go away!”
