"Fair?" Hearing the man's words, Gu Shi Ming could not help but laugh bitterly and shake his head, "You have been living in the business world for more than ten years already, tell me, do you think you have the word 'fair' for you?"

"So I won't allow anything to go wrong with myself," his gaze unhurriedly swept across Gu Shi Ming's wrinkled face. "If I want to make the rules, then I have to stand at the highest point."

"If you want to stand at the top, not everyone can do as you wish."

The corner of Xi Jin Cheng's lips curled up lightly. His smile carried a hint of impudence, and he said slowly: "Whether or not I can do it, I don't need to trouble you."

After saying those words, he felt somewhat irritated. They were all matters of no great importance, yet they had wasted so much of his time. He got up and prepared to leave.

Seeing that the man wanted to leave, Gu Shi Ming squinted his eyes. He knew that if he did not poke a hole in the man's heart, he would not continue the conversation.

Then, with an elusive smile, he asked, "Do you remember what I just said? This is a small party, and above it is a carnival, but below it there are undercurrents, and a lot of things are happening quietly out of your sight. "

With a lack of interest, Xi Jin Cheng straightened his clothes and sneered: "What does it have to do with me."

"There are many times when you feel that it has nothing to do with you, but in reality, all of these are inextricably linked to you," Gu Shi Ming said as he revealed a smile, "For example, the Ye An Ran that was pushed into the ocean."

As he had expected, the man stopped in his tracks as soon as he heard the name.

The tall silhouette was shrouded in darkness, and after a long while, he finally turned around. His gaze was so cold that it was as if he could examine him completely. "How much do you know?"

If he could grasp the other party's key points, he could grasp the bargaining chips. With a bargaining chip, he wouldn't have to negotiate properly with the other party.

The smile on Gu Shi Ming's face held some confidence. Although he did not know about the relationship between Ye An Ran and Xi Jin Cheng, he believed that the information in his hands was precisely on the weak point of a man.

"This is my territory. Everything is happening right under my nose," he said, smiling up into the man's eyes. "How much do you think I know?"

"I'm afraid there's more than just knowing. There's also a connection that you can't get involved in."

From beginning to end, Xi Jin Cheng had always pondered on one question, whether or not the matter of Ye An Ran falling into the water had anything to do with him.

In the end, this matter was happening on Gu Shi Ming's territory, it would be difficult for him to not know, but he clearly knew yet he did not react, which made Xi Jin Cheng suspicious.

But from the looks of it, the other party's intentions were clear as well. Why did Gu Shi Ming ignore the accident that nearly occurred on his boat?

"How is it," Gu Shi Ming smiled slyly, as if he was an old cunning fox. "Do you want to make a deal with me?"

There were skits on TV, causing the audience below to laugh out loud, but Gao Min stared at the screen without showing any reaction.

At that moment, she was no longer in the mood to watch TV. She did not know what to do for Gao Jian, and did not reply for a long time.

Forget about the news, he couldn't even get through to Gao Jian no matter how hard he tried.

When she saw that take as if she was sitting on pins and needles, she was unable to calm down no matter what. After thinking for a while, she decided to go to the place she and Gao Jian had agreed on beforehand.

Gao Min thought as she randomly stored the things in her leather bag. Her hair and makeup were all gone as she rushed towards the door with her head lowered.

It just so happened that at this time, Ye Xin Ai jumped down from the stairs and was about to go out in a hurry when she bumped into her.

"Aiyo," Gao Min was knocked back two steps, as she pointed at Ye Xin Ai's forehead with a bit of hatred, "Why are you still so impatient with your words, without even a hint of gentleness. If I were to marry into the Sheng Jia in the future, who knows how I would laugh at you."

Hearing Gao Min's scolding, she stuck out her tongue, smart enough to change the topic, "Mom, are you going out too?"

"You don't say." Gao Min was already a little worried, and wasn't in a good mood when she spoke, "If not, why would I take the bag?"

It was rare that Ye Xin Ai did not get angry with her, but with a "Oh", she left a "Then I'll be leaving first" and quickly went out the door.

Seeing her unsteady movements, Gao Min could not help but sigh, and muttered to himself: "With such childish behavior, what should I do?"

Just as she was about to go out, Aunt Qin called out to her from behind.

"Madam, sir has something to talk to you about."

In other words, ever since Ye Sheng Nian had gotten angry at her in the courtyard and even slept with her, he rarely spoke to her again. Even when he was eating, he would call a servant to bring him to his room so he could eat alone.

She didn't know why Ye Sheng Nian had called her out at this time, nor did she know. If it was a normal day, she would have added a bit of joy. But now, under her eyes, she had an especially urgent matter. Facing this man's call, she felt a bit irritated.

She frowned, not willing to let go of the leather bag in her hands. She asked, "Did Sheng Nian say what it was?"

Aunt Qin shook her head, as if she was unaware of the situation, "Mister only called Madam over, not saying anything else.

"I know."

Gao Min could not help but panic in her heart. As she walked up the stairs quickly, she took three steps and went upstairs. She did not even knock on the door before she opened the door and walked in. She only wanted to quickly deal with Ye Sheng Nian so that she could reunite with him.

The house was filled with the smell of medicine, maybe it was because Ye Sheng Nian had been taking the medicine for a long time, causing people to feel uncomfortable.

Ye Sheng Nian laid on the bed and coughed non-stop, as if he wanted to cough out his heart and lungs at the same time.

Gao Min frowned, she tried her best to hide the restlessness in her heart, and asked softly: Sheng Nian, what are you looking for me for?

Hearing the woman's voice, he acted as if he hadn't heard anything. He didn't even raise his eyes as he asked hoarsely, "What have you been busy with recently?"

When he suddenly asked about his own matters, Gao Min was actually somewhat unable to react in time. There was something he had been hiding from Ye Sheng Nian in the beginning, but now that he was asked about it, he couldn't help but stutter in reply: "That's right. There are a lot of things in the company that we can't help but worry about, including Xin Ai. "

With that said, Ye Sheng Nian did not have much of a reaction, his chest was heaving from coughing, he glanced at her and closed his eyes, then suddenly asked: "Where are you going with the bag?"

"There's something I need to do." Gao Min was frightened by that gaze and subconsciously avoided it, not daring to meet his gaze.

"There's no need to go." Ye Sheng Nian said straightforwardly.

Gao Min was confused by her words. Whether it was when Ye Sheng Nian called her here or when she said these words, everyone was at a loss. She asked angrily: "What do you mean by that?

"Don't think that I don't know anything," Ye Sheng Nian couldn't suppress the itch in his throat, and coughed twice. "Don't do too many shameful things behind your back."
