CHAPTER 89: RUTHLESS METHODS

It’s this small section of text that blocked Quan Jin’s apology and the offensive words he couldn’t retract!

Because she deleted him.

Gu Yuan glanced at the Hemler Clock in front of her; it was 12:11 AM.

At this time, the other person was probably asleep or at a late-night party, likely not checking their phone, so Gu Yuan didn’t rush to reply.

She first warmed a glass of milk, took a shower, applied some skincare, and only after comfortably sitting in bed did she pick up her phone to reply.

Gu Yuan: I’ve learned from your grandmother, indeed deleted too hastily, sorry.

After replying, Gu Yuan was about to put her phone down to do a foot mask and sleep.

But before she could set her phone down, it buzzed with a "vroom".

She picked it up and saw that the other person had replied instantly!!

Must Love Even in Death: Yanyan Sister, you’re still up?

Gu Yuan hadn’t expected this; she thought this Crown Prince would be busy with evening activities or already asleep, yet he replied instantly!

"Vroom vroom"

It buzzed twice more.

Must Love Even in Death: Staying up late will lower your immunity, disrupt metabolism, reduce immune factors, and make you prone to illness.

Must Love Even in Death: Staying up is bad for the liver and will decrease memory.

Must Love Even in Death: You shouldn’t stay up late.

Gu Yuan: "..."

After a long pause—

Gu Yuan replied: Okay.

And then typed another line to send: I heard Young Master Quan has a project underway, and will be arriving in Sui City soon. To show my sincerity, I’d like to invite Young Master Quan to a meal. Not sure if Young Master Quan would be willing to honor me with his presence.

After sending the message, Gu Yuan waited patiently for a while.

After nearly two minutes, there was still no reply.

Asleep?

Busy?

The moment a meeting is mentioned, there’s no reply, Gu Yuan couldn’t help but chuckle.

What’s the point of this online back-and-forth chatter?

One way to solve this issue is for both parties to meet, go over dating requirements, a romantic relationship is impossible, but this connection is treasured by Gu Yuan.

She turned off her phone and went to sleep.

The next day.

After freshening up, Gu Yuan headed out.

Old Bai and Dao An were waiting downstairs.

Sitting in the car, Dao An reported some work matters to Gu Yuan, and finally mentioned one thing: "President Gu, regarding Li Yan at the police station, the Quan Family has intervened."

Gu Yuan was momentarily surprised: "What did the Quan Family do?"

Dao An said: "Someone from the Quan Family came forward, extending Li Yan’s one-month detention to six months."

"Six months?" Gu Yuan sneered, seemingly even more surprised than before: "What are the Quan Family thinking, trying to please me?"

Dao An was puzzled too!

He also only found out this morning; the police station specially called to inform him that Li Yan’s one-month detention had been extended to six months!!!

Originally, the consequences of Li Yan’s actions required only one or two months of detention.

But Li Yan had offended Gu Yuan, and whether it was to account for Gu Yuan’s status or the anger from watching the surveillance, the police station didn’t take it lightly, detaining Li Yan for a month.

This was quite a decent accountability.

Who knew this wasn’t ruthless enough, and in no time, people from the Yanjing Quan Family extended their reach here, increasing Li Yan’s mere one-month detention to six months...

"Did we find out if it was the work of the head of the Quan Family?" Gu Yuan couldn’t guess.

Those people’s intentions are hard to fathom.

Dao An shared what he found: "Upon learning of this arrangement, I thought it was somewhat exaggerated, and after inquiring, found out it was the Crown Prince’s doing. I think this Crown Prince is trying to show goodwill to President Gu."
