Chapter 1333 Yun Rui Juanchen: Having a child with someone else so soon

Gu Yunqian sat on the leather chair in the office, a cigar between his fingertips. The smoke swirled in front of his eyes, blurring the emotions in his eyes.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office was the bustling city night scene, with neon lights flashing, but they could not illuminate his deep thoughts at the moment.

"Mr. Gu, this is the report on Qi Ruixiang's recent movements that you requested." The subordinate placed a document on the desk with a respectful tone.

Gu Yunqian raised his hand to signal his men to step back, picked up the document, and slowly opened it.

When he saw that "Qi Ruixiang accompanied Yang Xiaotang to a private hospital for a prenatal check-up, and the B-ultrasound showed that the fetus was six weeks old and developing normally", the fingers holding the cigar paused, and a barely perceptible sneer flashed in his eyes.

Continuing to read, "After the prenatal check-up, Qi Ruixiang personally sent Yang Xiaotang home and stayed downstairs of her apartment until midnight that night. During this time, he drove to the Old Street Osmanthus Cake Shop to buy low-sugar osmanthus cake for pregnant women." Seeing these details, Gu Yunqian couldn't help but sneer and put out his cigar in the ashtray. Sparks flew up and quickly went out, just like his attitude towards this matter at the moment.

"You just broke up with my sister, and then you turned around and had a child with another woman. Qi Ruixiang, Qi Ruixiang, you really are..." Gu Yunqian didn't finish his words, but his words were full of sarcasm.

He had always been pessimistic about the relationship between Qi Ruixiang and Gu Yunxi, always feeling that Qi Ruixiang was too ambitious and not sincere towards Gu Yunxi. Now it seemed that his judgment was correct.

Gu Yunqian leaned back in his chair, crossed his hands on his abdomen, and the scene of stopping Gu Yunxi and Qi Ruixiang from interacting before emerged in his mind.

At that time, Gu Yunxi was angry with him, saying that he didn't understand feelings and that Qi Ruixiang was really good to her.

Should he inform Yang Bin about this?

The next second, he picked up the internal phone on the table and dialed the number of the branch manager. His voice was filled with unquestionable majesty: "From today on, all business of the branch will report directly to me. No need to go through anyone else. Do you understand?"

The branch manager on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded, "Understood, Mr. Gu, I'll arrange it right away."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Yunqian stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the night view outside the window, and his eyes became sharp.

Qi Ruixiang’s incident was just a small episode. What he really cared about was the progress of the “Nightingale Project”.

He walked to his desk, opened the encrypted folder on his computer, and retrieved the relevant information about the "Nightingale Project."

The screen lit up, reflecting his serious face. "Project Nightingale" was a secret project launched by Miaoyin Media last year. It was publicly advertised as a new media technology development project, but in reality, it involved core commercial secrets and even concerned the future development direction of the industry.

Gu Yunqian's fingers tapped rapidly on the keyboard, and the dark web login interface appeared on the screen. He entered a complex string of codes and logged into the "GStar" account.

This account is his identity on the dark web. With this identity, he roams around the dark web, collecting various intelligence to protect the "Nightingale Project".

Entering a secret forum on the dark web, Gu Yunqian skillfully found an encrypted chat box and sent a message: "How is the situation around 'Nightingale'?"

Soon, the other party replied: "Mr. Gu, we have recently discovered that unidentified individuals have attempted to access Nightingale's core data. We have traced some of the IP addresses to overseas and suspect that they are the work of foreign organizations."

Gu Yunqian frowned, his fingers paused on the keyboard for a moment, and replied: "Continue to track them. Be sure to find out the true identities of these people and the organization behind them."

"clear."

After closing the chat box, Gu Yunqian's gaze fell on the list of core members of the "Nightingale Project" on the screen. When he saw the name "Lin Xu", his eyes became deep.

Gu Yunqian opened another encrypted file, which contained the evidence he had collected about Lin Xu in recent days.

There are encrypted call records between Lin Xu and unknown persons abroad, surveillance screenshots of him secretly copying the core data of the project, and information about him entering the country using a fake identity.

He spent a lot of time to collect these things in his hands. It was true that the more a young man dug, the more he got!

These days, more and more people are attracted to sister-brother relationships, and even spies are trying to cater to their tastes. If he can win over Gu Yunxi, this beautiful girl, then the next step is to coax her into defecting...

Gu Yunqian picked up his phone and called the head of the security department. His voice was serious: "Strengthen the company's internal security, especially the technical departments. Strictly check all people entering and leaving, and do not allow any suspicious people to approach. In addition, do not allow electronic equipment to pass through."

"Yes, Mr. Gu, we will do it immediately."

At this moment, Gu Yunxi had no idea that there was a spy hiding beside her, nor did she know that a conspiracy against her and the "Nightingale Project" had been discovered by her brother.

She was sitting in front of the computer, looking at some of the information about the "Nightingale Project" that Qi Ruixiang had left on her computer, frowning, trying to find more clues about Lin Xu's disappearance.

What she didn't know was that her brother had built a safety barrier for her and was secretly protecting her and the projects she cared about.

Qi Ruixiang is still worried about how to balance his responsibility to Yang Xiaotang and his complicated feelings towards Gu Yunxi, and he has no idea that a bigger crisis is quietly approaching.

Gu Yunqian looked out the window as the night deepened. He knew that the days ahead would not be peaceful; a war without the smoke of gunpowder had already begun.

But he is confident that with his own abilities and deployment, he will win this war and protect everything he wants to protect.

He picked up the document on the table and looked through Qi Ruixiang's movement report again. The mockery in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a deep thought...

Gu Yunxi stood in front of the wardrobe, her fingertips tracing over the navy blue suit jacket. The fabric was crisp; it was a gift from Qi Ruixiang, who had said, "You look more impressive in a suit than in a skirt."

At that time, she was still laughing and complaining that he didn't understand romance, but now she was facing the mirror, carefully buttoning the buttons to her collar one by one, her fingertips slightly white due to the force.

The woman in the mirror no longer had the softness of the past in her eyes, but was replaced by a cold determination.

Her hair was neatly pulled into a low bun, revealing her slender neck, and her face was only lightly painted with lipstick, which made her originally pale face look a little sharper.

She took a deep breath in front of the mirror, and replayed the phone call from Qi Ruixiang a few days ago in her mind - he said, "Yang Xiaotang and I have a child." She said "Congratulations" calmly, but after hanging up the phone, she locked herself in the room and stared at the sycamore tree outside the window in a daze for the whole night.

That kind of calmness was never true relief.

She was just used to wrapping her emotions in calmness, and used to playing the role of "Gu Yunxi" in front of others - the rational, independent, and not easily vulnerable Gu Yunxi.

But only she herself knew that when she heard the news, her heart felt like it was being tightly gripped by something, and the pain was so severe that she could hardly breathe.

It’s not that she wasn’t sad, but she quietly transformed that sadness into a more determined force - she wanted to find out the truth about Lin Xu’s death, uncover the truth about the “Nightingale Project”, and find out what role Qi Ruixiang played in all of this.

The most direct way to achieve all this is to get close to the core of power.
