Chapter 49: A good mood was ruined

  "Jialan, you've been missing for days and I'm worried to death..." Qin Hao sighed: "I myself have been searching on the sea for several days..."

  "Thank you for caring about me so much." Gu Jialan said lightly, but towards Qin Hao, this playboy, Gu Jialan didn't have a single good feeling.

  "Jialan, are you free? I'll treat you to a meal." Qin Hao looked at Gu Jialan with hopeful eyes.

  Gujalan shook his head: "Sorry, I'm busy tonight."

  "It doesn't matter, tomorrow is fine too." Qin Hao smiled and said.

  "Tomorrow I'm busy too." Gu Jialan frowned slightly.

  "What about the day after tomorrow?" Qin Hao's face was really thick-skinned.

  "Qin Hao, I've told you countless times already, it's impossible between us, so please don't come bother me again, okay?"

  "Jialan, I'm puzzled, where am I not good enough for you?" Qin Hao's face turned somewhat unsightly, his own father was a famous real estate tycoon, his own uncle was the vice governor, with such an illustrious family background, wasn't he good enough for Gu Jialan?

  Gu Jialan slightly shook her head: "Qin Hao, I'm not good enough for you." After finishing speaking, Gu Jialan raised her hand to glance at her watch: "Sorry, I have another appointment, excuse me." After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the sedan.

  "Gu Jialan, stop right there!" Qin Hao shouted loudly and chased after Gu Jialan with a swift kick.

  Zhou Tian and other security guards immediately blocked Qin Hao's way.

  "Get out of here! Stinky security guard!" Qin Hao cursed angrily.

  Zhou Tian and other security guards' responsibility is to protect Gu Jialan, no matter how Qin Hao scolds or yells, they just block him from disturbing Gu Jialan.

  Gujalan seemed to ignore Qin Hao's shouting and opened the car door, getting in by herself. Then she waved at Lin San who was standing outside: "Get in."

  "Ah?" Lin San was stunned and hesitated for a moment: "I'll just take a ride with the security guards."

  "Come on, I'm your boss, I tell you to get in the car, don't give me any lip."

  Lin San nodded and opened the car door, sitting down beside Gu Jialan.

  The driver got into the driver's seat, started the Mercedes-Benz and slowly drove away.

  Zhou Tian and the security guards immediately abandoned Qin Hao, who was still shouting, got into a business car and chased after the Mercedes-Benz.

  Qin Hao stood at the entrance of the building, his body slightly trembling, his face pale with anger, staring in the direction where Gu Jialan had left, a hint of murder flashing in his eyes, and he muttered to himself: Gu Jialan, I will get you sooner or later!

  Ming Zhu Hotel

  Room 18, VIP Suite No. 1 inside.

  Lin San and Gu Jialan sat face to face at a dinner table, with a sumptuous feast spread out before them.

  "Miss Gu, this...this is too much food, just the two of us can't finish it all..." Lin San gazed at the full table of dishes and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

  Gujalan smiled: "If it weren't for the limited space on the dinner table, I would have wanted a few more dishes."

  Lin San moved the corner of his mouth and didn't speak again. With different identities, their views on things were also different. In Lin San's view, the two of them eating a table of dishes slowly was really wasteful, but in Gu Jialan's eyes, this young lady with thousands of gold, it was a matter of course.

  "Lin San, I toast you a glass, thank you for saving my life." Gu Jialan raised a cup of red wine.

  Lin San hastily picked up his wine glass and lightly touched it with Gu Jialan, then tilted his head back and poured the wine into his mouth.

  "Come on, have some food." Gu Jialan raised her hand and picked a crab for Lin San.

  Lin San thanked him with a sentence and began to peel off the crab shell.

  Gujalan looked in a good mood today and pulled Lin San to talk a lot.

  "Bang!" The door of the room was suddenly pushed open with force.

  Gu Jialan furrowed her brow, looked up towards the entrance and was immediately stunned. She saw Qin Hao leading a group of men in black clothes walking in with an air of arrogance. Outside the door, there were sounds of arguing and fighting.

  "Qin Hao, what are you doing!" Gu Jialan's face sank.

  Lin San stood up from his seat and stood beside Gu Jialan, vigilantly staring at Qin Hao. As long as Qin Hao dared to be unfavorable to Gu Jialan, Lin San would immediately make Qin Hao look good.

  Qin Hao glanced at Lin San, a flash of murderous intent in his eyes. Qin Hao had already recognized that the Lin San standing beside Gu Jialan was the same security guard who had pushed him and injured his waist on the cruise ship a few days ago. Even now, every night when Qin Hao slept, his waist still ached slightly. Qin Hao took a deep breath and looked at Gu Jialan: "Jialan, you call this a date? Having dinner with this little security guard?"

  "It's none of your business who I have dinner with." Gu Jialan said coldly.

  Qin Hao's face sank: "Jialan, my heart is as clear as the sky and earth, why can't you just give me a chance?"

  "Qin Hao, I don't have any feelings for you at all. It's absolutely impossible for me to like you. You might as well give up on that idea." Gu Jialan said with a frown, this Qin Hao was really annoying, she had already made her words so clear, yet Qin Hao still wouldn't take the hint, his face must be incredibly thick-skinned.

  Qin Hao suddenly pointed at Lin San and said in a cold tone: "Is it because of this stinky security guard that you don't like me?"

  "This has nothing to do with others, I really don't have any feelings for you. If you continue to pester me like this, we won't even be able to be friends." Gu Jialan said word by word.

  Qin Hao furrowed his brow, and his face suddenly looked unpleasant.

  "Qin Hao, if you have nothing else to do, please leave. I still need to eat." Gu Jialan gave the order to drive him away.

  Qin Hao sneered: "Gu Jialan, are you really so heartless?"

  "Get out!" Gu Jialan's tone gradually turned icy.

  Qin Hao gazed at Gu Jialan for a moment, then suddenly sneered: "Gu Jialan, this is what you asked for. One day I'll make you kneel down and beg me to marry you!" After that, he waved his hand and left the suite with several bodyguards.

  Soon after Qin Hao left, Zhou Tian and other security guards rushed into the suite in disarray: "Miss Gu, are you okay?"

  Gu Jialan glanced at Zhou Tian and others: "What happened just now?"

  Zhou Tian's face flashed with anger: "Just now, that Qin guy suddenly appeared in the corridor with a large group of bodyguards and had them block our way. Afterwards, Qin led his people into the suite. Miss Gu, I apologize, I failed today." Thinking about it, Zhou Tian felt extremely stifled. It wasn't that Zhou Tian and the other security guards were incompetent, but rather that Qin Hao's bodyguards outnumbered them by a large margin - three times as many, to be exact. Earlier in the corridor, Zhou Tian and his team had clashed with Qin Hao's group of bodyguards, and they had suffered significant losses due to being outnumbered.

  "Today is an accident, not your responsibility." Gu Jialan said with a wave of her hand. After being stirred up by Qin Hao, Gu Jialan no longer had the mood to eat with Lin San, so she just gave him two sentences and stood up to leave the suite.

  Zhou Tian and Lin San led the security guards in escorting Gu Jialan out of the hotel.

  Qin Hao was humiliated by Gu Jialan in public, and he was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. In his heart, he secretly vowed: I must make Gu Jialan regret it!

  Ding Dawei was finally caught by police after being on the run for a month.

  After a month of investigation by the police, Ding Da was found to be involved in many illegal cases, including hiring assassins, money laundering, colluding with evil forces, and bribing government officials. It can be said that Ding Da's crimes were very serious.

  Three days later, the provincial high court held a trial for Ding Dawei's case.

  Due to the conclusive evidence, the court quickly made a judgment on Ding Dawei: sentencing him to death and confiscating all his property.

  A week later, Ding Dazhao was executed by firing squad.

  Upon learning of Ding Da's execution, Gu Changfeng was overjoyed, thinking that now no one would ever harm his daughter again.

  Ding Dawei is dead, so Gu Jialan no longer needs a large number of bodyguards to protect her. However, for safety's sake, every time Gu Jialan goes out shopping or strolling and returns home, there will be several bodyguards secretly protecting her, just in case.

  Lin San has been having a pretty relaxing life these days, spending most of his time in the office drinking tea, smoking, and reading newspapers, occasionally taking a short nap on the sofa. It's not that Lin San doesn't want to work, it's just that there really isn't any work to be done.

  Lin San sat on the windowsill, looking out at the street below, humming a tune in boredom.

  "Knock knock knock." A faint knocking sound suddenly came from the doorway.

  "Come in." Lin San turned around and walked over to sit down on the chair.

  "Hey!" The office door was pushed open, and Secretary Gao Xue walked in with a form: "Deputy Director Lin, autumn is approaching soon. The company has decided to purchase a batch of autumn security uniforms. This is the list for your review." As she spoke, Gao Xue placed the form on the desk.

  Lin San picked up the form and took a look: "300,000? Does autumn security clothing need that much money?"

  "The company has certain requirements for security uniforms, the fabric must be of high quality and the workmanship must be fine, so the cost is slightly higher," Gao Xue explained.

  Lin San muttered to himself, thinking: "The Ding Sheng Group is indeed wealthy and extravagant. For the first quarter alone, they want 300,000 yuan for security uniforms. Calculating this way, wouldn't that be over a million yuan spent in a year?"

  "Deputy Director Lin, if you think it's okay, just sign on the form. Then I'll submit it to the finance department for financial settlement," said Gao Xue.

  Lin San nodded and picked up the pen, scribbling a few strokes at the bottom of the form to write his name. He put down the pen and handed the form over to Gao Xue.

  Gao Xue and Lin San exchanged a greeting before she took her form and left.

  Lin San opened the drawer, took out a pack of cigarettes from inside, pulled one out, lit it up and started smoking. These days, Lin San had nothing to do and was bored, so he started smoking, usually finishing a pack a day. Sometimes, Lin San also enjoyed the numbing sensation that came with smoking.

  "Ding ding ding......" The phone on the office desk suddenly rang.
