Chapter 146: The Flustered Feng Jia

Gu Chu found it funny. “Are they going to take my life?”

“Don’t joke around.” Lin Yu happened to run into a red light. He put his car in neutral and turned on his phone to look at his busy schedule. He frowned. “I’ll go over after I finish some work.”

Gu Chu didn’t mind. “There’s no rush. Do your own thing. If it’s necessary, I’ll show my identity at the site and ask them to help me.”

Lin Yu had no other choice but to say, “Okay.”

After ending the call with him, Gu Chu opened up her Wechat moments and looked at the likes and comments of her friends. She flipped through it but did not see any activity from Feng Jia.

She was so angry that she puffed out her mouth and blew on it. She mumbled, “Bastard.”

Gu Chu turned her anger into appetite and finished the remaining porridge. It was already eight or nine o’clock in the evening. She and her secretary were ready to wash up and go to bed. Gu Chu threw the trash into the trash can outside.

When she finished taking the rubbish out, she realized that there were quite a number of red flowers planted around the house.

The red flowers formed what looked like a sea of fire.

Gu Chu could not tell what kind of flower this was, but she could not help but think of the Red Flower Killer. Goosebumps immediately appeared on her back. She quickly walked into the room and when she saw her secretary, she said sinisterly, “Do you want to hear a bedtime story?”

…

The secretary was interested. “Sure, sure!”

But in the next moment, she lost all interest.

“My story is about a serial killer from twenty years ago. Every time he selected a victim, he would send three red flowers and then choose a day to kill them cruelly,” Gu Chu deliberately emphasized her words. The secretary’s face was as pale as death.

“His methods were extremely cruel, including, but not limited to, disemboweling them and then dumping them in the wilderness. Some of the corpses were already eaten by wild wolves when they were found. Most importantly, the murderer has yet to be found!”

Her tone suddenly rose, giving the secretary a fright. “Stop talking! I’m scared!”

…

Gu Chu was satisfied. “Right? When I first heard about this, I was also very scared.”

“So,” the secretary pouted. “You’re just trying to scare me?”

How could she have such a boss?!

Gu Chu pretended to dig in her pocket. “Do you know what the red flower looks like? Let me show you.”

“No! don’t want to see it!” The secretary was shocked and ran back to her room in fear.

Gu Chu burst out laughing and stopped teasing her. She took her cell phone and notebook, turned off the lights in the living room, and went back to the room.

She didn’t notice that when she turned off the lights, a black shadow flashed outside the window.

It was late at night, and everything was silent outside the window.

In the master bedroom of Jinyuan Residence, Feng Jia was breathing heavily, as if he had a nightmare. He suddenly opened his eyes and felt around him.

It was empty beside him.

He pursed his lips, picked up his phone, and called Gu Chu.

Gu Chu’s phone was off.

Feng Jia didn’t give up and called twice, but her phone was still off.

Gu Chu would turn off her phone when she slept. When he thought of the nightmare just now, his heart felt a little stifled.

When he came back to his senses, he lifted the blanket and got out of bed. He took out his suitcase from the cabinet. As he threw his clothes inside, he called his secretary, Susan.

Soon, Susan picked up his call. “CEO Feng.”

“Send me Gu Chu’s secretary’s phone number and book me the earliest flight to the capital.”

Susan didn’t ask further and immediately sent it to him.

Feng Jia called. The secretary’s phone was not switched off, but no one answered.

It was not until the third time that the phone was finally picked up by someone. A muffled voice sounded, “Hello?”

Feng Jia: “Zhou Xuan?”

The secretary was still in a daze. “Yes, you are?”

“Feng Jia,” Feng Jia explained the purpose of the call. “Is Gu Chu in?”

The secretary: “? !”

Her eyes widened. “Yes, yes!”

She answered while tugging on Gu Chu who was sleeping soundly beside her. “Director, CEO Feng is looking for you!”

Gu Chu was out the whole day today. When she was woken up, she was very annoyed. “Feng Jia?”

When he finally heard Gu Chu’s voice, Feng Jia’s heart relaxed. “Are you okay?”

“Of course I’m okay. I’m sleeping…” She took out her phone and looked at it. She narrowed her eyes and asked, “Do you know what time it is? It’s two o’clock in the morning. Why are you up at this time?”
