Chapter 115: 115 He is Playing Psychological Tactics With Me_1

“Those who tread by the river bank often, will probably end up with wet shoes.”

In spite of my utmost caution,

Some imperfections were still captured by Gu Yuanzhou.

The footage he showed me was taken from the CCTV of Shuang’an Bank, which conspicuously showed me entering the safety deposit box area.

Although my heart was in tumult, I knew I had to maintain a calm outward appearance, repeatedly reassuring myself that the things I took were originally mine.

How could I be guilty for taking my own possessions?

This thought quickly restored my calm.

“President Gu, are you investigating me?”

Gu Yuanzhou’s inscrutable eyes, as cunning as a fox, stared at me,

“Is there a problem with me investigating my own employees?”

“So, it seems President Gu doesn’t even trust his own employees?”

“I trusted you, but you seem to be betraying my trust!”

“President Gu, that is a public bank and there is nothing unusual about my visit. I did not even interfere with my work.”

“I’ll give you one chance to explain everything you’ve done clearly!”

Gu Yuanzhou said in a solemn voice.

I knew he was just bluffing, so I quickly feigned ignorance,

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, President Gu!”

“Still playing tough?”

His face grew colder.

I jutted my chin up. I will not be cowed!

Why should I admit to anything just because you intimidated me? I’m not that gullible.

Unless you have strong evidence to confront me with, I will never admit to anything.

Your psychological tactics are useless on me!

Now, my morale is quite high.

“Looks like you won’t back down till you’ve hit the Yellow River!”

Gu Yuanzhou was getting irritated. He threw away the pen in his hand and picked up another document.

“Some records retrieved from the bank showed that you entered Shuang’an Bank twice, and with my wife’s key, you took out two important assets from the safety deposit box… You’d better confess clearly, otherwise, if I report this, you’ll be put in prison for theft.”

Gu Yuanzhou’s words conveyed a chilling warning.

I was slightly overwhelmed.

Nonetheless, I quickly composed myself.

I recalled that I had rented an annual safety deposit box from the bank. I had only paid the rental for the box and did not register the valuables inside.

Although Gu Yuanzhou was aware of the existence of such a safety deposit box, he never asked what I had stored there.

The bank didn’t have specific information, and he didn’t have any data in his hands either, so I surmised that,Yôur favorite 𝒏ovels at n/𝒐(v)el/bin(.)com

He most likely knew I opened the safety deposit box, but had no idea what I had taken.

I took a deep breath.

“Yes, I did take some things, but they were small gifts from Mrs. Gu before she passed away.”

“What things?”

“President Gu, these matters are private between Mrs. Gu and me, and I don’t believe they need to be disclosed!”

“So, this is the reason for your resignation? You plan to run away with these things?”

“President Gu, you know very well why I resigned!”

With my tenacious and unyielding attitude.

Gu Yuanzhou realised that I wouldn’t be so easy to deal with.

He changed his strategy,

“You should know that after the death of my wife, all her belongings belong to me. Unless you can present her will or other legally relevant documents, your actions will be regarded as theft!”

I didn’t expect Gu Yuanzhou to be so cunning, blocking all my possible exits.

Of course, I could not produce any such will…

After a moment of silence, I went back to my office.

And then I brought out those items,

They were only small pieces of jewelry taken from the safety deposit box at the bank, besides two property deeds which I had pawned on the black market.

There were also a few pieces of jewelry and gold ornaments for the children, not many, just around four to five items.

I returned these small gold objects to Gu Yuanzhou.

“Just these! If President Gu does not agree to give them to me, I’ll return them to you!”

Gu Yuanzhou simply picked up his daughter’s little bracelet and looked at it for a while, then looked up at me.

“You’re short of money?”

“President Gu… I’m just looking to keep these as souvenirs, it’s not about the money.”

When Gu Yuanzhou looked at me again, his tone had softened significantly.

“If you don’t resign, I can consider not calling the police! After all, it’s an internal matter of the company, there’s no need to spread it outside.”

It seems that Gu Yuanzhou is using this matter to manipulate me.

If I insist on resigning, with his ruthless style, he would definitely take me to the police station.

Looking at the cold expression on the man’s face, I could only compromise,

“Fine!”

My capitulation satisfied Gu Yuanzhou.

He picked up the jewelry on the table,

“I’ll keep these for now, and I’ll have finance provide you with monetary compensation.”

His meaning was, he would pay me the financial equivalent of these pieces of jewelry, as if buying the jewelry off me with money.

Though I was reluctant, I couldn’t out-argue him.

“President Gu, never mind the money… Can I keep the little bracelet? I really like Xiaoyi’s child, I want something to remember her by!”

Gu Yuanzhou decisively rejected me,

“I don’t want my daughter’s belongings to fall into other people’s hands, you understand, right!”

I said nothing, just watching as he put the small bracelet into the drawer.

However, the outcome of today was comparatively mild. He didn’t call the police, nor took any actions to punish me.

I guess he must have started suspecting me when the security guard delivered my employee card, and then took action against me after reviewing the bank CCTV footage.

But after this, I can’t be careless anymore, or else I will give him a handle to exploit.

“Alright, you can knock off now!”

He was finally willing to let me go.

“President Gu, I have a question!”

“Speak!”

“I’ve heard… Little Juanmao is dead. Some people suspect that you’re involved.”

Gu Yuanzhou sat upright, his hands clasped together, watching me for a long time.

“Did Shen Yishu tell you this?”

“President Gu, it doesn’t matter who said it! Anyway, I’ve heard about it.”

Gu Yuanzhou got up and came over to me,

“This is why I don’t want you to associate with that Shen. He’s shortsighted and lacks vision, following him won’t end well.”

“That’s my private business!”

Perhaps my words enraged Gu Yuanzhou. He replied coldly,

“There are so many successful men out there and you don’t want them, opting for a poor boy?”

Although I don’t like Shen Yishu, and we’re not in a romantic relationship.

But Gu Yuanzhou’s words made me very uncomfortable. Weren’t you also a poor boy once?

“President Gu, rich men tend to be overly confident! They play around a lot, often changing their preferences. Such men are not suitable for marriage.”

Gu Yuanzhou retorted sarcastically, “Do you think poor men won’t fool around?”

I didn’t want to argue with him anymore. “President Gu, I will take my leave!”

He lowered his head to flip through documents, then added,

“Move back in tonight!”

“This isn’t too good, right! I’m not on good terms with Miss Ye, living together would be awkward!”

I knew that after this matter, my relationship with Ye Mengyan had fallen apart. It would be tough living together in the future.

But Gu Yuanzhou responded,

“I’ve made other arrangements for her, you don’t have to worry about this.”

Gu Yuanzhou’s arrangements puzzled me. Ye Mengyan was his lover, yet he was ignoring her.

Why does he want me living by his side, what does this mean?
