After Gu Suian appeared, the unreasonable assistant became much more obedient, his shoulders drooping like a timid little quail egg.
"President Gu," the assistant said softly.
Gu Suian ignored him and instead gave her secretary a look.
The secretary nodded slightly, then turned and left.
Less than half a minute later, several men in suits walked in, their expressions serious and their attitude professional, and they began to search the entire room meticulously.
Song Lindi paused for two seconds, then smiled and walked up to Gu Suian. He acted like a well-behaved junior in front of Gu Suian. "Brother Gu, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault for being so immature. I made a small mistake, which delayed the filming schedule and bothered you. Actually, I could have handled it myself. I feel really bad for taking up so much of your time."
Gu Suian only gave him a look, offering neither comfort nor blame, only a vague "hmm," as if she didn't take him seriously at all.
Song Lindi showed no dissatisfaction with this attitude and tentatively took another step forward. "Brother Gu, I clearly told you just now that I want to become more independent and try to achieve something for you and Grandpa. I didn't expect to cause you trouble again. I'm sorry."
Song Lindi bit her lower lip, her eyes slightly lowered, looking both self-reproachful and sad.
Gu Suian finally looked at him, her attitude neither warm nor cold, still not giving a direct answer, only saying, "I will investigate thoroughly."
Wen Feiran stood to the side, trying to minimize her presence. Suddenly, she widened her eyes and glanced at them, then, afraid of being discovered, she immediately lowered her eyes, exuding a stealthy air.
It seems Meng Jingxiu was right; Gu Suian does indeed take good care of Song Lindi, personally handling these kinds of matters for him. But who is Song Lindi's grandfather?
Wen Feiran was really curious, so he peeked again, only to be caught red-handed. Gu Suian was looking at him with a deep gaze, his pupils were dark, and there were many emotions in his eyes that Wen Feiran couldn't understand.
!!!!
Wen Feiran acted like a student caught doing something wrong by the head teacher, immediately standing at attention, eyes downcast, pretending nothing had happened.
A full half minute passed before he noticed the intensely perceptive gaze had moved away, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He dared not act up in front of Gu Suian anymore and obediently waited for him.
Gu Suian gave him a sense of security; with Gu Suian involved, Wen Feiran knew he would definitely get a fair explanation.
Someone was rummaging through a handbag on the table when they paused, took out a ring.
"This is it!" Song Lindi's eyes lit up with joy. "I knew it was a misunderstanding! How could Feiran be the kind of person to do such a thing!"
His assistant, standing next to him, reacted quite differently. The color drained from his face instantly, his lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Gu Suian's secretary returned quietly and whispered, "According to the surveillance footage, the man with this handbag brought Mr. Wen in two hours ago. Ten minutes later, he left alone. Half an hour ago, the same man came in again. Apart from that, no third person appeared. And this handbag was always carried by this man, which means that during Mr. Wen's rest, the ring and handbag were always with him. There is no possibility of theft."
The secretary paused, then delivered the fatal blow in a completely emotionless tone, "But we can't rule out the possibility that the thief is crying 'stop thief!'"
Assistant. "..."
Song Lindi hesitated, glancing at her assistant with disbelief in her eyes. The assistant shook her head frantically, stammering, "I really didn't! I just forgot! You have to believe me!"
Wen Feiran crossed her arms and snorted coldly, "Now you know what it feels like to be distrusted, right? Serves you right!"
Even the most clueless assistant would understand the key point. He could vaguely sense that Gu Suian was protecting Wen Feiran. Wen Feiran's attitude was crucial. He wanted to rush over to seek forgiveness, but Wen Feiran was frightened by him and subconsciously hid to the side. Gu Suian naturally put his arm around his shoulder, switched positions, and protected Wen Feiran behind him.
The assistant could only stagger to a stop, his body swaying twice, his left leg tripping over his right, and he fell heavily to the ground.
"Although the truth hasn't been fully investigated, one thing is certain: this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Mr. Wen from beginning to end," the secretary added, "I've already called the police. They will investigate the matter thoroughly and pursue legal action."
The assistant panicked completely, breaking out in a cold sweat. She looked at Song Lindi with pleading eyes. Song Lindi, who had just been uncompromising, couldn't help but say, "Isn't it unnecessary to make such a big deal out of this? If word gets out, it won't look good."
Wen Feiran was the person involved, and only he had the right to forgive. Song Lindi, however, looked at Gu Suian, saying, "This is on the set of an advertisement shoot. Even if it has nothing to do with this, unscrupulous media might make baseless accusations and smear the Gu Corporation."
Wen Feiran was reminded.
He had come to realize the paparazzi's skill in spreading nonsense, and it was indeed possible that the Gu Corporation was involved.
He and Gu Suian were strangers, yet Gu Suian had taken the initiative to stand up for him and seek justice. He should return the favor. Wen Feiran cleared his throat and said softly, "How about we..."
He only said a few words, Gu Suian suddenly turned around. He had always kept his emotions hidden, but now he conveyed his feelings directly to Wen Feiran. He seemed very shocked, his eyes filled with disbelief, mixed with a complex mix of pain, joy, and sadness.
Wen Feiran was stunned. When he tried to look, Gu Suian lowered his eyes with suppressed emotion, his emotions erupting like a volcano. His broad shoulders trembled uncontrollably. But when he looked up again, the snow had already covered the volcano, making it impossible to see anything.
"Don't worry about me." Gu Suian's gaze fell on him. "If you really want to settle this privately, then don't call the police."
