The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise Novel - Chapter 439

Chapter 439: The Person Behind The Shop Is A Bigshot – 3

Gu Min felt something was wrong with Fu Zhi’s brain.

His father was not an idiot. All he was doing was teaching a liar a lesson. It was a heroic act, so how was there any possibility he would punish him because of a liar?

The more Gu Min thought about it, the more he felt he was doing everything a big favor. Then, he made a call to Mu Chenxi. It took Mu Chenxi a short while before she finally picked up the call. He had no idea why but she sounded dejected when she was talking and the alarm in his heart blared out.

‘Yo, yo, yo, yo. Is she crying? Please don’t cry! You’re already not good-looking, to begin with, and you will look even uglier when she cries!’

The silver lining was that Gu Min was not around Mu Chenxi right now. He did not have to see her crying face and he heaved out a long sigh of relief. Then, he comforted her, “What happened, honey?”

No sooner had the question spilled out of his mouth, than Mu Chenxi’s video call came in, and he became speechless.

There was a good chance that his love for Mu Chenxi might disappear soon because of her ugly face.

However, Gu Min had not forgotten to maintain his affectionate boyfriend persona. He accepted the call, and perhaps the effect of the Beauty Pills had not worn off yet, Mu Chenxi’s skin condition was not as terrible as Gu Min had imagined.

Mu Chenxi wiped the tears off her face and replied, “I’m fine.”

The moment she finished speaking, her assistant, who was tasked to take care of her, chimed in, “You’re not fine at all, Ms. Mu! You’re too kind!”

Gu Min raised his brows in curiosity.

Even though he came from a rich family, in reality, he was a movie critic who carried a lot of weight in the entertainment industry. He had plenty of ex-girlfriends, and he was fully aware of their tricks. All of them acted innocent and they just wanted one thing: His protection.

Nobody knew what had gotten into Gu Min’s brain, but he was particularly enthusiastic when he was coveting Mu Chenxi. Although he knew her true nature beneath her pretty skin, it still did not hinder him from taking a liking to her. Anyone who was familiar with Gu Min knew that he liked pretty actresses with good acting skills. If he ever came across someone that fulfilled all his criteria, he would become her personal prince charming.

He asked, “Is it Fu Zhi again?”

Mu Chenxi had told Gu Min the thing about Fu Zhi slandering the Mu Family in front of Puer Feather. Although she knew Gu Min was a sc*mbag and he was insincere to her, he was pretty good as a boyfriend. As long as she asked for something, he would try to get it for her. Therefore, Mu Chenxi told Gu Min that she wanted him to help her teach Fu Zhi a lesson at the gathering, as well as exposed Fu Zhi’s atrocity on his Weibo.

Most of the girls in Yu City dreamed of finding their prince charming in the capital.

She was not afraid that Gu Min might fall for Fu Zhi, for Fu Zhi was not good at acting at all.

“Yes. Not only Fu Zhi misled the public into believing that she’s Pure Feather, she also threatened Chenxi and said she’s going to send her into jail!”

Mu Chenxi tugged at her assistant and said, “Alright, shut your mouth!”

“It’s not that big of a deal at all. It’s just a stupid movie. How about this? You come to the capital and I will let you be the ambassador for “Glory”. Don’t you think it’s much better than that movie? Or perhaps I can invest some money to produce a drama with you being the female lead. I’m sure you’ve heard of my achievement, right? Quite a lot of actresses became famous after they joined my movie or drama.”

As for Fu Zhi, Gu Min was not afraid of her at all. “If you really don’t like her, I will ask my friends to attack her on Weibo after the gathering, okay?”

The entertainment industry was a place full of competitions and traps. Juniors had to respect seniors, while no matter how famous a celebrity or a blogger was, they had to watch their mouths. After all, if they want to stay alive in the industry, they must not offend any people, for those people might be someone with a big background or someone who came from an influential family.

Fu Zhi was not Pure Feather, Gu Min was certain of it. Therefore, he was certain that there was nothing she could do if his friends and he attacked her on Weibo at the same time.

Mu Chenxi could only nod in assent after what Gu Min had promised her.

After that, they hung up the call.

Gu Min had no idea why but the moment he saw Mu Chenxi was starting to fall for him, he became less interested in her.

That said, since he had promised her that he would go to Yu City, he still went to pack his stuff and get himself ready.

After roughly 10 minutes, he had finished packing his stuff. He thought about the stupid shop owner in Taobao, so he logged into his account. Then, he asked, [It has been 15 minutes, where is my father? I thought you said he’s coming to punish me?]

Fu Zhi sent a smiling emoji to him and said, [Honestly, I’ve never seen anyone like you who wishes to be punished so much. You’re really one of a kind.]

Gu Min was caught between laughter and tears. [If you can really make my dad come back, starting from now on I will call you mom!]

[Sorry. I don’t have a bad son who sells fake drugs and ruins my reputation.]

‘Yooo?’

[Do you believe that I can put a price on your head in the hacker alliance?]

At the same time, a series of footfalls rang out in the living room of the Gu Mansion.

Gu Min was so engrossed in his argument with Fu Zhi that he failed to notice the faint smell of death in the air. His fingers were still dancing fast on the keyboard as he said, “Hah! How dare this little b*tch fight with me.”

The footfalls came to a sudden stop. The person standing behind Gu Min took a deep breath and it seemed as if he was doing his very best to suppress something.

Gu Min continued, “What’s the matter? Has the cat got your tongue? Let me tell you, I’m the best debater in the world, and no one has ever defeated me before!”

The person behind him could not hold himself in anymore.

“You son of a b*tch, Gu Min! How dare you talk like this to the Gu Family’s guardian angel! The best debater in the world? Why don’t you just drop dead instead?!”

…

The moment Gu Min heard the voice, the smug grin on his face froze. He mechanically turned his head around and when he saw his father, the first thing he did was slap himself in the face.

When he felt the pain from his cheek, it was only then he realized that the person standing in front of him was none other than his father, who he could only see from the television.

Then, when he saw the 60 centimeters machete in his father’s hand, his blood turned cold.

A loud slap was carried through the hall and the cries of Gu Min resounded through the air.
