Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Can You Really Disguise Yourself Without Any Flaws?

Hearing Huo Yu’s words over the phone, Lu Sheng immediately asked, "What’s going on?"

Huo Yu did not explain any technical operations or how he found out, but simply told Lu Sheng the investigation results and the conclusions drawn.

"That Gu Siyu, twenty-one years old this year, is a junior at a tier-two university in Beijing. She is the illegitimate daughter of Gu Mingsheng, the chairman of Shengda Group in Beijing."

Lu Sheng was taken aback: "...Illegitimate daughter?"

"Yes," said Huo Yu, "Gu Siyu’s mother was a former maid of the Gu Family, uneducated, coarse, selfish, and greedy. It’s unclear whether it was a deliberate scheme on her part or if Gu Mingsheng took a fancy to her, but during her employment, she slept with Gu Mingsheng and got pregnant."

"Gu Mingsheng found a reason to dismiss her, gave her an apartment in Beijing as compensation, and asked her to abort the child. But she secretly gave birth to the child, who is Gu Siyu, and since then has been asking Gu Mingsheng for money on the pretext of Gu Siyu."

"A year ago, Mrs. Gu from the Gu Family discovered the existence of Gu Siyu and her mother, causing an uproar. In the end, Gu Mingsheng paid Gu Siyu and her mother five million as compensation, asking her to leave Beijing and never appear again, and then brought Gu Siyu back to the Gu Family."

"Gu Siyu’s mother is fond of gambling. After getting that five million, she went to Las Vegas, where she not only lost all the money but also took out a high-interest loan of five million in Gu Siyu’s name. The loan eventually ballooned to seven million, and her mother absconded."

"A few months ago, debt collectors started looking for Gu Siyu. Gu Siyu is an illegitimate child, and her mother is seen as ’low-class.’ Mrs. Gu almost hated her to death and kept Gu Siyu in the Gu Family in order to torment her, making Gu Siyu’s life very difficult there."

"Even though Gu Siyu’s elder brother, Gu Weijian, treated her well and even got her a job as an Assistant Director in the marketing department of Shengda, her savings only amounted to a few tens of thousands. There was no way she could pay off a debt of seven million, so she has been constantly harassed by the debt collectors, and she dared not let anyone know."

"But half a month ago, a foreign transfer of seven million suddenly appeared in Gu Siyu’s account. This transfer was set with a 20-day delay in arrival, and before the money was actually transferred, the sender could withdraw it at any time."

"You told me that Gu Siyu arrived in Jiang City just half a month ago, and since then she has been trying to get close to Li Muchen, and later to you."

"That’s why I say that she must be acting under someone’s orders. The person who instructed her to do this is the one who transferred the money."

Huo Yu’s few words carried a massive load of information.

Lu Sheng finally understood why she felt a sense of contrast with Gu Siyu previously—it was not Gu Siyu’s true intention to do such things, she was just forced to.

In other words, Gu Siyu was just a pawn used to sabotage her relationship with Li Muchen. Figuring out who was behind this and who that person was targeting was the key.

"Is it possible to find information on that remitter?" Lu Sheng’s gaze darkened as she asked over the phone.

Huo Yu said, "That overseas account has identity encryption. We can’t find the exact identity information of the remitter, only the account’s IP location."

"Where is the account located?"

Just as Lu Sheng finished speaking, her shoulder was suddenly patted out of the blue.

She instinctively looked back and saw Chen Shu, with a bandaged right arm, who had unexpectedly appeared behind her, his face wearing a shallow smile.

His gaze was clear and innocent, his tone gentle and apologetic, "Sorry, Shengsheng, I was wondering where I could get a drink. I’m a bit thirsty."

Meanwhile, Huo Yu’s steady voice came through the phone, particularly clear in the suddenly silent air: "—It’s Suli."

...Suli?

At that moment, Lu Sheng’s grip on the phone faltered, her pupils contracting slightly. fгeewebnovёl.com

She didn’t know about any connection between Li Muchen and Suli, but her connection to Suli was through only one person—the man before her eyes.
