Gu Zhi lifted her foot and bolted out of the door before Gu Ming could strike her again.

Liu Min immediately called out, “Zhizhi!”

Seeing Liu Min about to chase after her, Gu Ming locked the door and said coldly, “This is all because you’ve spoiled her rotten. You are not to go after Gu Zhi today!”

With that, Gu Ming slammed the door behind him, retreated to his bedroom, and took out his phone to open a group chat.

Back when he was the Chairman of the Gu Group, a nonchalant word from him would have people flocking to curry favor. Now, those who used to ingratiate themselves with him had all but disappeared.

Only a few remained in the chat group—individuals he had barely paid attention to in the past due to the lack of their ability. And now they were doing better than him. So even if he disdained mingling with these people, he had no choice but to endure it.

The more Gu Ming thought about his current penniless state and his inability to integrate back into the Gu Group, the deeper his resentment towards Gu Dai grew. He wished he could tear her to pieces.

Staring at the group chat, Gu Ming sent a message.

Gu Ming: Any quick ways to make money?

Friend 1: Well, Brother Gu, there are quick ways, but they’re not exactly legal.

Gu Ming’s brows furrowed as his fingers rapidly typed across the screen.

Gu Ming: 1 don’t care if it’s legal or not; I need money now!

Friend 2: Since you’ve said so, I’ll tell you. 1 recently heard about an ancient royal tomb. It’s bound to be filled with treasures. Sell those age-old antiques, and you’ll have your money, right?

Friend 3: Tomb raiding? Isn’t that a bit extreme? Aren’t you afraid of repercussions?

Gu Ming scoffed at the notion of “repercussions.”

Gu Ming: There’s nothing scarier in this world than not having money. Since this path to wealth is open, let’s prepare and act quickly!

As Gu Ming observed his friends discussing the intricacies of tomb raiding, he began fantasizing. Once he successfully raided the tomb, sold the antiques, and secured a large sum of money, he’d buy shares in the Gu Group and eventually oust Gu Dai. She’d end up destitute, wandering the streets.

In the darkness, the glow from his smartphone cast eerie shadows on his face, highlighting an expression that was a mix of gloom and madness.

After Gu Zhi ran out of the house, she stood at a distance, staring at the closed door. The slap she’d received earlier only deepened the well of resentment within her.

She picked up her phone and dialed Gu Si’s number. In her eyes, her aunt Gu Si was the most capable and cunning. Surely, she could rescue her from her miserable life and teach Gu Dai a lesson.

When Gu Dai returned home and didn’t see Gu Zhi, she turned to Wu Zhen with a puzzled look, “Where’s Gu Zhi?”

Wu Zhen spoke softly, “Miss, she went to the adjacent house. I saw her sneak out, so 1 didn’t stop her. But I had someone follow her.”

Gu Dai nodded, “When she comes back, act as if you’re unaware that she left. Be as you usually are.”

Wu Zhen, “Understood, Miss.”

Gu Dai went upstairs and made a call to Chu Min.

The moment the call connected, Chu Min picked up, “What’s up, Boss? Any instructions?”

Gu Dai: “Keep an eye on Gu Ming and Liu Min. Report any movements immediately.”

Chu Min: “Absolutely, Boss!”

After he agreed, he then hesitated, as if debating whether to say something more.

Detecting Chu Min’s hesitant breathing, Gu Dai, who’d come to understand him over the years, guessed what was troubling him. “If there’s something on your mind, just say it.”

Chu Min quietly said, “Boss, the previous incident with Song Ling and Jiang Yue has created quite a stir online. Surprisingly, public opinion has swung in favor of Song Ling within days, even boosting Song Corporation’s stock significantly.”

Gu Dai yawned, speaking indifferently, “Is that so? I’ve been too busy to keep up with news.”

Chu Min nodded vigorously, then remembered that Gu Dai couldn’t see him and quickly added, “It’s true, Boss. Just check the entertainment news; Song Ling is still trending!”

Though she wasn’t interested, seeing Chu Min’s excitement made her cave. She opened the news and skimmed through a few headlines..
