Fang Xinxin had told them her name when she was checking them into the hospital earlier. “You’re too polite, Chairman Gu.”

She played with the apple in her hands. “This is a fruit I bought for you both. There’s only one. To tell you the truth, my money tied up in investments. My cash flow is bad right now. And I don’t want to borrow money just to look good.”

She couldn’t tell people that she was poor.

Gu Guanqing was a little touched. “Ms. Fang actually kept a mere driver like me in mind. You’re not someone who flatters those above you and step on those below you. I understand your kind regards. Give the apple to the chairman.”

She slightly smiled. “I think since you and the chairman went through life and death together, he’ll want to share this fruit with you.”

Gu Linyuan’s bright and spirited eyes looked at Fang Xinxin with appreciation. “You’re right.” He looked at the IV drip in his hand and said, “Guanqing and I have IV drips, so it’s not convenient to eat it. We appreciate your kind regards, Ms. Fang. Can you please wash the fruit and cut it for us?”

This meant that he accepted Fang Xinxin’s kind regards.

“Of course.” Fang Xinxin opened her purse and took out the folded fruit knife. She went to the bathroom in the hospital room and washed the apple and fruit knife. Then she went back to the hospital bed, peeled the apple, and cut it in half before handing the pieces to Gu Linyuan and Gu Guanqing.

Crunch, crunch…… They gnawed on the apple halves.

Fang Xinxin looked at the two people who survived and couldn’t help but feel a little sympathetic.

Gu Linyuan met her kind eyes and smiled. “Ms. Fang is a person among dragons and phoenixes. Your investments must be major transactions. Even if you have a cash flow problem, it must be temporary.”

“You flatter me.” Her total investment was only 34 yuan.

“I owe you 100 million yuan and I will fulfill my end of the deal as soon as possible.” Gu Linyuan looked inquisitively at her. He felt that this young girl was very mysterious, but she held no malice towards him. “After the car accident, Ms. Fang asked me and my driver to remove the batteries from our phones. Did someone do something to my car?”

Fang Xinxin had no expression on her face. It wasn’t that easy to get her to talk.

Gu Linyuan’s expression turned solemn. “The news of my car accident must have spread already. If the person who wants my life thinks I’m dead, then he’ll let down his guard. And it will be easier for me to find out who it is. You’re helping me.”

She definitely was.

Fang Xinxin slightly nodded. “Based on our interactions, I think you’re a pretty good person. So, I did you a little favor. Consider it as a meeting gift.”

“This gift can’t be measured by money.” It wasn’t a small kindness like an apple. Gu Linyuan looked at her with certainty. “You seem to know more inside information.”

“Yes.” Fang Xinxin didn’t deny it. “Right now, you must want to know who wants to kill you. There are two choices. First, you can use all your time, energy, ability…… and various resources to investigate it. This will take a lot of money. The second is simple and readily available. You can buy the information from me. Of course, that costs a lot of money too.”

Gu Linyuan smiled bitterly. “I’ve built shopping malls for most of my life. I’ve offended a lot of people. There are a lot of people who want to kill me. They’re all old foxes. It will be very difficult to investigate it.”

He controlled his emotions. “Since you have the information available right now, why don’t I directly buy it from you? Name a price, Ms. Fang.”
