The Long Chase For The President's Spouse

Chp. 64B

Chapter 64B: President Wants Some Time Alone

Sitting in his office, Zhang Heng appeared calm on the surface but his heart was in a frenzy! Were these people really the elites that he had personally hired? How could all of them be so slow?!

On the surface, the elites accepted their president's request to search for his assistant but they didn't dare to neglect the work they had on hand. Zhang Corporation had a large market value business deal. If there was even a slight mistake, who would take the responsibility for it? Moreover, it was impossible to guarantee that the president wouldn't shrink from his responsibilities and put the blame on them.

During work, they searched for any relevant information regarding his assistant and analyzed the footage from the surveillance camera near Gu Zhun's apartment. They would investigate any suspicious people loitering around the neighborhood at night. However, they had to take advantage of their lunch break to secretly discuss their work.

The president wanted some time alone, so he told them not to bother him if there wasn't anything important... (By important, he was referring to Gu Zhun)

Gu Zhun, why did you leave without a word? Was it something that I did? Did you dislike the endless social gatherings? Or did you feel very helpless and embarrassed by that baffling dance challenge that Ye RuiXi issued? It's alright since I will set things straight!

I even berated Ye RuiXi. He was a grown up yet he still wanted to dance and compete!

Come back quickly! My heart can't bear this any longer!


The silence was broken by the sound of someone knocking on the door.

The veins on the president's forehead bulged. Who was it that had nothing better to do than to knock on his door at this time?

"Reporting, President!"

"What do you want to report?! Didn't I mention that..."

"President, it's regarding the matter you've instructed us about Gu Zhun..."

"Speak!"

The employee stood stiffly and started to report.

................................................................. A lengthy speech was omitted.


Zhang Heng cut to the chase and said: "Did you all find him?"

"Yes!"

"Where?" You talked so much about the process to find him but what I care about is his whereabouts!

"He is in Japan!"

...

He is... in Japan?

Zhang Heng was baffled. If he wanted to avoid him, why would he choose to go to a place that was related to him?

Moreover, they agreed to try and take the next step there...

"..."

Zhang Heng left the office and called Gu Li: "Sis, I want to ask you about Gu Zhun..."

Inside a cafe—

Gu Li added sugar as she stirred the bitter coffee with a teaspoon.

"So, Gu Zhun is in Japan?"

Zhang Heng nodded his head. It was apparent that even Gu Zhun's sister was doubtful about her brother going to Japan without leaving any explanation ....

"Sis, did you know why Gu Zhun always avoids me?"

Gu Li took a sip of coffee and said: "Wasn't it because you made him unhappy?"

Zhang Heng raised both hands to express that he was wrongfully accused!

Zhang Heng continued: "Usually, Gu Zhun doesn't respond when I tease him and sometimes, he would intentionally distance himself from me... He even left on his own during the last dinner party..."

"Actually, that child isn't hiding from you. He is just avoiding his own feelings..."

"What do you mean?"

Gu Li took out an old photo from her bag. It was a family portrait of her and her parents standing beside a young Gu Zhun. He looked really young, like he was an elementary school student.

Gu Li pointed at the two adults in the photo and said: "These are my parents and they divorced a long time ago. At that time, I was eighteen years old and Gu Zhun was eight."

Zhang Heng kept quiet. He waited for Gu Li to divulge the past; the pandora box that no one dared to open—

"Initially, they sent a lump sum of money for our daily expenses. But it gradually came to a stop when they each had a new family and abandoned us at the old house in our hometown. We were being taken care of by our relatives, who also got sick of us later on. I had to quit school a few months before the National College Entrance Exam, and took the graduation certificate that my principal had handed me out of pity in order to look for a job. Afterwards, I struggled and worked hard all the way till this day. But it wasn't just mewho was affected, Gu Zhun was the one who was really affected by this. He really loved his parents but one day, his parents got into a fight and by the next day, he never saw his parents again. I told him the truth because I didn't want to lie to him that our parents went on a trip..."
