Song Shiyu was confused. “Don’t you think a cold-blooded man like the president should have a tiger or a lion as his pet? Why would he have a dog?”
Gu Zheng was the god of Li City. Rumors had it that he was bloodthirsty, cold, and ruthless. Although he did not lose his temper easily, he was the God of Plague who must not be provoked.
Someone of his status was actually raising an abandoned dog? It was indeed different from his personality.
Song Shijing said seriously, “Shiyu, the president is not as cold as the rumors say.
“Actually, he’s very kind at heart. It’s just that the bad memories from his childhood had forced him to become cold. He wears a fake and cold mask to hide the softness in his heart. He’s afraid others will see through him.
“It’s only after Young Madam appeared that she slowly warmed up the president, allowing him to gradually remove his mask and become more human.”
…
Qiao Xi hugged the obedient dog and gently stroked its soft fur. “Haha… No wonder Xia Yunlou was so shocked when you spoke to her earlier. She definitely didn’t expect you to be raising a little black dog in the courtyard.”
A cold glint flashed across Gu Zheng’s indifferent eyes. “Xia Yunlou reminded me of something.”
“What?”

“There are spies in Longwan Residential.”
Gu Zheng’s voice was slightly cold, and the smile on Qiao Xi’s face gradually disappeared as she suddenly reacted.
That was right! As the mistress of the house, she didn’t even know that Gu Zheng had a puppy. How did an outsider like Xia Yunlou know so much?
Whoever it was guessed that Gu Zheng was keeping his illegitimate child in the courtyard, and he had only moved in a year ago. This was probably something that only the people from Longwan Residential would know, but who was it?
Gu Zheng’s eyes were deep, and his thin lips moved slightly. “Looks like I have to clean up the ‘trash’.”
…
Lu family.
Lu Yan lazily leaned on the sofa and took a sip of hot tea.
Suddenly, the assistant rushed in. “Young Master! Uh…”
Lu Yan suddenly opened his eyes. “What was Qiao Xi’s reaction?”
That secret had already been revealed to Xia Yunlou. A person like her who couldn’t hide anything would definitely not be able to refrain herself from saying it in public. Qiao Xi probably already knew about Gu Zheng having an illegitimate child.
According to his understanding of Qiao Xi, she would probably divorce Gu Zheng this time.
When Lu Yan thought about this, he smiled proudly. Divorced women needed comfort. He would take advantage of the situation and snatch Qiao Xi to his side.
Unexpectedly, the assistant stammered, “P-President Gu’s son is… is a dog!”
Lu Yan suddenly opened his eyes, thinking that he had heard wrongly. “Say that again?”
“It’s a dog! The so-called illegitimate child is just a dog!”
Lu Yan was puzzled for a moment. “Gu Zheng gave birth to a dog?”
Impossible! He had sent people to investigate, and they said that Gu Zheng was raising an illegitimate child in the courtyard. How did the child become a dog?
Coincidentally, a few guests of the Lu family came in at this moment. When they heard his words, they frowned slightly.
Although everyone in Li City knew that Gu Zheng and the Lu family were enemies, it was not nice to badmouth others behind their backs.
“I heard that Young Master Lu was as gentle as jade. Seeing you today, however, you’re nothing much. You appear polite on the surface, but behind the scenes, you’re badmouthing President Gu, saying he gave birth to a dog!”
Everyone else chimed in softly, “That’s right. Does President Gu’s son have anything to do with him? He even said that President Gu’s son is a dog. That’s too rude!”
Lu Yan instantly choked, unable to release the anger in his heart.
The people he sent to Longwan Residential definitely would not lie to him. So how did the illegitimate child suddenly become a dog? What exactly happened?
A moment later, another subordinate rushed in hurriedly. “Young Master, bad news! The people we arranged at Longwan Residential have all…”
Lu Yan suddenly sat up from the sofa, feeling uneasy.
“They were all beaten up by President Gu and chased out of Longwan Residential. Not a single one was left.”
Lu Yan narrowed his eyes.
Gu Zheng’s methods were swift and decisive. Not a single person was left behind?
He had gotten rid of all the spies within a day. It seemed like he had already sensed their presence but had pretended not to notice anything wrong. And this time, he got rid of all of them so irrationally.
Did he feel that there was no need for these people to stay, or was it because this matter had hurt Qiao Xi?
