Old Master Gu was indeed not stimulated, but as soon as he heard the word "mole," his old brows immediately furrowed, and he asked hurriedly:
"What mole? Why do you think there is a mole in our family?"
Gu Zhi recounted the phone call Shen Lifeng had made to her that day and said:
"The fact that Lu Yanshen and I were going to register our marriage that day was only known to the people of the Gu family and the Lu family at the time. How could he have known?"
"And why did he call me at such an opportune moment?"
"The Shen family does not have the ability to reach into the Lu family and arrange a mole there, so it is only possible that they have their mole in the Gu family."
Old Master Gu was very angry that Shen Lifeng had not only called Gu Zhi privately but also asked Gu Zhi to give up the opportunity for an arranged marriage to Shen Yuyao.
After scolding them several times, he said, "That makes sense!"
Gu Zhi added:
"I ran into Shen Yuyao when I was buying my wedding ring yesterday, and she actually recognized me."
"I had never met her before, so how could she know me?"
"When I asked her how she knew I was Gu Zhi, she was very flustered and said that a guest at the ancestral recognition banquet had sent my photograph to Shen Lifeng, but she couldn't say which guest it was."
"In any case, she was clearly lying."
"That is how I was able to determine that there is a mole in the Gu family."
"Then you weren't bullied by her yesterday, were you?" Old Master Gu asked anxiously.
He was, of course, happy that his granddaughter was so smart.
He now completely believed that there was a mole in the Gu family.
He was just worried that his granddaughter had been bullied.
"I have seen her at banquets several times, and I have seen her acting all 'tea-like' when talking to others. I am worried that you were bullied by her verbally."
He did not expect that Grandfather would even know the term "tea-like," which was so trendy.
Gu Zhi chuckled:
"No, Grandfather, please don't worry. I won't let anyone bully me, not even verbally. Besides, Nian Nian was there yesterday too."
Old Master Gu thought that Gu Zhi saying she wouldn't let anyone bully her was just to comfort him.
After all, his granddaughter was just a young lady.
And she was currently sitting in a wheelchair.
But he heard that Jiang Nian was there.
He had met Jiang Nian; she was his granddaughter's bestie, and her tongue was not forgiving at all, plus she was quick to explode.
Furthermore, Jiang Nian knew a bit of self-defense, so even if she got into a physical altercation with another girl, she likely wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
Only then did Old Master Gu believe that his granddaughter had not been bullied yesterday.
"Leave the matter of the mole to me," Old Master Gu said with a stern face.
He, an old man, could still handle such a small matter well.
Gu Zhi, of course, did not doubt her grandfather's ability.
The Gu family villa was full of surveillance cameras, so it was easy to find out if someone working in the house was acting suspiciously.
Old Master Gu asked his secretary to check the surveillance cameras.
Secretary Zhao was his confidant.
In less than half an hour, Secretary Zhao brought people over, escorting an aunt surnamed Feng who was responsible for cleaning.
Secretary Zhao:
"In the surveillance footage, she is the only one who has been acting strangely these past few days, always stealing glances at the living room."
"When you were talking to the Young Lady about the arranged marriage, she was also cleaning near the living room."
"We have already discovered from her mobile phone that she sent messages to Shen Yuyao several times."
"She was the one who told Shen Yuyao that the Young Lady and the head of the Lu family were going to register their marriage at three o'clock that afternoon."
"She was also the one who took candid photos of the Young Lady and sent them to Shen Yuyao."
Aunt Feng was already scared to death.
She had not expected to be discovered.
She had already knelt down and cried, saying:
"It was Shen Yuyao who bribed me, saying that as long as I sent her a message about the Young Lady, she would give me ten thousand yuan."
"I was blinded by greed, and I thought that the information I was telling her wasn't a secret—I wouldn't know if it were a secret anyway—and some of the news would be publicly announced, so I felt it didn't matter and I really sent it."
Gu Zhi asked:
"When did she bribe you?"
Aunt Feng:
"It was the second day after you, Young Lady, were brought back."
Gu Zhi stopped talking.
She had bribed someone so early.
At that time, the ancestral recognition banquet hadn't even been held, let alone the arranged marriage with Lu Yanshen.
Shen Lifeng had the attitude of absolutely not acknowledging her at that time and would never have let Shen Yuyao bribe someone to send news about her.
And Shen Yuyao was so "tea-like."
It seemed that Shen Yuyao had done this on her own.
Old Master Gu was already scolding her:
"Even if it's not a secret, you can't send it! Your character is the problem! Today you dare to send this, and in the future, if you really hear any secrets, you'll dare to send those too!"
"Has my Gu family ever treated you poorly?"
"Secretary Zhao, handle this as you see fit. I don't want to see her again!"
"Yes!" Secretary Zhao immediately took people and escorted Aunt Feng away.
No matter how much Aunt Feng cried and begged, saying that her family was in difficulty and she wanted to continue working at the Gu family, it was useless.
Old Master Gu was not a fool. After Aunt Feng was escorted away, he said indignantly to Gu Zhi:
"What does that Shen Yuyao want? Bribing someone so early—Shen Lifeng didn't even acknowledge you at that time, yet she still bribed someone to know your news."
Gu Zhi: "I guess she feels that since I am Shen Lifeng's biological daughter after all, she won't be at ease until all of Shen Lifeng's property falls into her hands."
Other than that, she couldn't think of any other possibility.
"Right! That must be it!" Old Master Gu immediately agreed.
He also felt there was no other possibility.
It wasn't until four o'clock in the afternoon that Gu Zhi left the Gu family to return to the Banshan Villa.
Uncle Zhou had long ago sent a driver in a Rolls-Royce to pick her up.
But the car was blocked by another vehicle not long after it left the Gu family gate.
It was Shen Lifeng and Shen Yuyao.
And Shen Lifeng's current wife, Sun Qin.
"Madam, should I call for help?" the driver asked.
With just one phone call, the Lu family's bodyguard could arrive immediately.
Not to mention that this was at the gate of the Gu family.
There were plenty of people inside the Gu family as well.
Gu Zhi said calmly, "A small scene, no need."
Shen Lifeng and the others had arrived three hours ago.
Seeing that the Gu Corporation's stock had hit the daily limit today, the three of them were even angrier.
And they were extremely jealous.
Everyone knew that as long as one was associated with Lu Yanshen, it meant huge benefits.
Not to mention this kind of binding arranged marriage.
If only the Shen Group's stock could hit the daily limit like that!
And as long as Gu Zhi and Lu Yanshen did not divorce, the Gu Corporation's stock would continue to rise!
Shen Lifeng and Sun Qin wanted even more for Gu Zhi to divorce and give this opportunity for an arranged marriage to Shen Yuyao.
Shen Yuyao herself, of course, wanted it even more.
It just so happened that Shen Yuyao received a message from the person she had bribed.
It said that Gu Zhi had returned for her Return Visit today, and that Lu Yanshen had accompanied her, but Lu Yanshen had already left the Gu family.
Because Gu Zhi was currently living at Lu Yanshen's place, they didn't dare to go to the Lu family to find Gu Zhi at all.
They were afraid that if something went wrong, it would provoke Lu Yanshen's disgust.
But now Gu Zhi was at the Gu family.
Shen Yuyao immediately told this news to Shen Lifeng and her mother, Sun Qin.
The three of them came looking for her just like that.
However, Old Master Gu was not someone to be trifled with.
They felt it would be easier to start with Gu Zhi, who was from the countryside and must be shallow and stupid.
Even though she had clashed with Gu Zhi yesterday, Shen Yuyao still did not believe that Gu Zhi was truly not stupid.
Shen Lifeng and Sun Qin didn't believe it either.
They all thought that Old Master Gu must have given her pointers in advance.
That was why the three of them didn't go directly to the Gu family to find Gu Zhi in front of Old Master Gu.
Instead, they waited outside the Gu family for Gu Zhi to come out.
