Chapter 463: terrifying speculation

Dịch máy

Li Tezhu deliberately lowered his voice. "Back then, Ning Tang was able to marry a beauty from a prestigious family, but Zhang Yuan still had a man she loved deeply. It was also through underhanded means. Zhang Yuan was drugged, and Ning Tang took advantage of her. Later on, she became pregnant. Originally, Zhang Yuan wanted to abort the child, but Ning Tang wouldn't allow it. He forcefully married her and made her stay at his home."

Huo Nanchen was puzzled by Li Tezhu's revelation and asked, "With Zhang Yuan's character, why would she bear a child for Ning Tang when she hated him so much back then?"

"Zhang Yuan married him at that time and intentionally got rid of the child. It wasn't until she became pregnant three years later that she decided to bear a child for Ning Tang."

Over the years, Ning Tang had taken the initiative to spread rumors that she was infertile. That was how much she hated Ning Tang.

"However, Zhang Yuan had no choice but to bear a child later on after Ning Tang coerced and enticed her."

Li Tezhu spread his hands. The identity of Zhang Yuan's first child had never been revealed. Now that Miss Ning wasn't her biological child, it was clear that there were many unanswered questions in the Ning family.

"Oh, right! Boss, can you guess who Zhang Yuan's childhood sweetheart was?" Li Tezhu took a long breath and said stiffly, "It was Gu Bo."

"Zhou Yunxi's husband?"

Huo Nanchen, who had remained calm throughout, was finally surprised when he heard the identity of Zhang Yuan's lover.

He suddenly remembered that before Zhou Yunxi had gone crazy, she had shouted Gu Bo's name.

The look in her eyes had been hateful and mournful.

"Yes." Li Tezhu continued, "When Zhou Yunxi was young, she had loved her husband deeply. Later, when she found out that her husband and Zhang Yuan were sweethearts, her love turned into hate."

Zhou Yunxi did not forgive Gu Bo after she found out about his relationship with Zhang Yuan.

For some reason, the meaning of Gu Ruochu's name rang in Huo Nanchen's ears.

Everyone had always thought that Gu Bo was an ordinary gambler. It turned out that he had a complicated past with Zhang Yuan.

A terrifying thought suddenly ran through Huo Nanchen's mind.

"Get someone to investigate whether Ning Zongxuan is related to the Ning couple as soon as possible."

Li Tezhu was shocked. Huo Nanchen's expression was very serious.

"You should also investigate Gu Bo as well. Find out where he is now."

How could a man like him abandon his family because of a gambling debt? Perhaps Gu Bo had run away because he had too many secrets to hide.

Huo Nanchen suspected that Gu Bo was the key to discovering the identity of Gu Ruochu's real parents.

"All right. I'll go right away."

Huo Nanchen did not tell Gu Ruochu about the information he had discovered. Instead, he wanted Li Tezhu to investigate Ning Zongxuan's biological relationship to his parents. Huo Nanchen wanted to unearth every secret before informing his wife about the new revelations.

Gu Ruochu drove to Huo Nanchen's office after she got off work at noon.

He had asked her to pick him up at his office.

The security guards helped her park the car. Gu Ruochu clutched her bag and opened the revolving door as she walked towards Huo Nanchen's office.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

She took out her phone as she walked and saw an unfamiliar number. She heard a crying female voice when she answered the phone.

"Miss Gu, please come quickly. Madam Zhou has gone mad. I can't control her!"

"..."

'Zhou Yunxi has gone mad?'

Gu Ruochu's expression changed, and her emotions were conflicted.

"Wait a moment. I'll be right there."
