Chapter 399: Judge by Actions, Not by Heart; By Heart, No One is Perfect

Hmm…

‘Since we agreed on 48 hours, it can’t be a second less!’

Qi Guowei watched Liang Du’s retreating figure, then turned to Tang Jinghui and Qi Jiaseng. “You two should go check on Ziheng and Yue Xin.”

“After the open-heart surgery, he’s going straight into abdominal surgery. We’ll be lucky if the whole thing is over before dark. I’ll hold down the fort here, so don’t you worry.”

Hearing this, Tang Jinghui and Qi Jiaseng didn’t refuse this time.

“The doctor just said Ziheng’s surgery went smoothly. He was just wheeled out of the emergency room. The anesthesia probably hasn’t worn off yet. I’ll go check on him first, and once he’s settled, I’ll come back and wait with you.”

Although Tang Jinghui was here, his concern for Tang Ziheng hadn’t lessened in the slightest. He had people keeping watch over there, ready to notify him immediately of any developments.

“Alright.”

Qi Guowei nodded.

“Dad, I’ll go up and check too,” Qi Jiaseng said in a low voice. “Yue Xin is pregnant. I’m worried she might be emotionally unstable.”

“You should take your father-in-law and mother-in-law with you.”

Qi Guowei gestured toward Qiu Yanfeng. “They came all the way from Yanjing, happy to celebrate their grandson’s birthday, only to run into something like this. They must be worried sick about their daughter right now. Go and comfort them.”

Qi Jiaseng agreed, then followed Tang Jinghui away from the window.

Qi Guowei watched them leave. A short while later, a middle-aged man in plain clothes quietly approached his side.

“Director Qi, here is the file you requested…” the middle-aged man said in a low voice.

Qi Guowei took the file from him and began to read through it immediately.

Chairman of Zhen Cui Group, Chairman of Beichun Junlan Hotel, Director of Junyao Group, Director of Ruyi Airlines, Director of Xingchuan International Group…

The numerous titles made Gu Heng’s file look incredibly impressive.

“Have you clarified the source of his assets?” Qi Guowei asked quietly as he flipped through the pages.

“All his assets originate from the world’s largest multi-family office, the Bessemer Trust Company. According to our investigation, it appears to be an inheritance. All his assets are completely clean, with no issues regarding their source.”

The middle-aged man answered quickly, “As for who he inherited the fortune from, I’ve checked three generations of his direct and collateral relatives and found no one who fits the profile. The Bessemer Trust Company is headquartered in the United States, so it’s beyond our reach to find any valuable information.”

“As long as his background is clean and the source of his assets is clean, that’s what matters.”

“Nothing else is important.”

Qi Guowei quickly finished flipping through the few pages of the file.

“Director Qi, he’s so young yet sits on massive assets worth billions. He usually travels with a large entourage of bodyguards. Why would he happen to be traveling alone today, happen to encounter the accident, and then, on top of it all, risk his life to save them without a moment’s hesitation?”

The middle-aged man paused, his voice dropping even lower. “For so many coincidences to happen all at once, could it be…”

“What?”

“Are you suggesting he orchestrated this whole thing to deliberately get close to me?”

Qi Guowei lifted his eyelids. “By betting his own life?”

The middle-aged man fell silent, offering no reply.

The possibility was indeed minuscule.

If Gu Heng were some poor kid, it’s possible he might risk everything for a long shot.

But Gu Heng is a billionaire with endless wealth and luxury at his disposal. Would he really risk his life just to earn Qi Guowei’s favor?

That logic really didn’t add up.

“Or are you saying…”

Qi Guowei retorted, “that the heavy truck driver, Ma Shuai, if he truly had ulterior motives, could withstand 48 hours of non-stop interrogation from Liang Du and his team?”

“Director Qi, I was just speculating,” the middle-aged man responded in a low voice.

“I now know his background is clean, his assets are clean, and he is a great benefactor to our Qi Family. That is more than enough.”

“As for why he happened to be there, why he happened to not have bodyguards today, and why he would risk his life without hesitation to save them—none of that matters to me.”

At this point, a profound look entered Qi Guowei’s eyes as he said softly, “My friend, you must remember the saying: judge a person by their actions, not their intentions. If you judge by intentions, you will find no perfect person…”
