After completing my life's work, I achieved financial freedom.

Chapter 14 Mr. Gu, a bystander

A corner of the Grand Hyatt Hotel lobby.

Seeing the dramatic scene at the gate, she curiously poked Gu Bai's arm and asked.

"Gu Bai, do you know these security guards?"

"How could that be? I don't know them. Don't talk nonsense."

Gu Bai, with a serious expression, immediately issued a triple denial.

"Then why do they seem to be helping us?"

Xu Zhixia looked at Gu Bai suspiciously, but after a long while she couldn't see anything unusual about it.

But her sixth sense told her that this matter was related to Gu Bai.

"How are we supposed to get out of this blocked-off area?"

Xu Zhixia said with a hint of worry.

"Hmm, it should be ready soon."

As he spoke, Gu Bai glanced at his phone, which was displaying a WeChat chat window with the note: Financial Director.

Gu Bai: Boss lady, I saw this at the Grand Hyatt Hotel. Do you think it's the boss?

Below this sentence is a video posted by Gu Bai.

The image above shows Lin Tao and that woman embracing outside the hotel.

However, the video was not filmed on-site, but rather from a surveillance camera angle.

Perhaps it's because five-star hotels have better surveillance cameras; this video is incredibly clear.

Zooming in, you can clearly see Lin Tao's face, but unfortunately, the camera only captured the woman's back...

CFO: Are you still at the Grand Hyatt?! I'll be there in fifteen minutes, could you hold off for me?

"The time should be almost up..."

Gu Bai glanced at the time, his face full of schadenfreude, as if he were watching a good show.

This is not his fault; it was Lin Tao who started the trouble first.

Besides, at most he's just an enthusiastic bystander now.

Chinese people are naturally fond of gossip, so what's wrong with Gu Bai eating some gossip?

As for where this video came from...

Gu Bai could only say that money makes the world go round. Before eating, he was afraid that tripping Lin Pangzi would cause trouble, so he gave the security guard on duty some money to temporarily "maintain" the security camera.

Perhaps Gu Bai was too generous, because to express their gratitude, the security guards gave him a copy of the video.

After waiting for about two more minutes, a red Audi A5L screeched to a halt in front of the Grand Hyatt Hotel.

Upon seeing the car, Gu Bai gestured to Xu Zhixia beside him with his chin and said cheerfully, "Look, our reinforcements have arrived. We'll be able to leave here soon."

Xu Zhixia followed Gu Bai's gaze and saw only a red sedan. There was nothing else, and she didn't understand what Gu Bai meant for a moment.

"Oh right, I almost forgot, you haven't been with the company long, so it's normal that you don't know whose car this is. This car belongs to the company's CFO, who is also your boss's wife. There's going to be a good show later."

Just as Gu Bai finished speaking, a woman's sharp scream came from the direction of the car.

"Lin Tao!"

This shout not only reached Gu Bai and a few others who were paying attention to the situation, but also drew curious glances from the other guests who didn't want to get involved in the commotion at the entrance.

As everyone knows, Chinese people love to watch the excitement and gossip. When they saw two women at the scene, one of whom was trembling and hiding behind a crowd, they immediately started writing a long essay of no less than a million words in their minds.

"Where is that bitch?" The woman got out of the car, her arrogance undiminished. From five or six meters away, she threw her bag at Lin Tao's head.

As someone with maxed-out head dexterity, Lin Tao easily dodged the attack, then asked in bewilderment.

"What bitch?"

Although Lin Tao knew that his affair had most likely been exposed, anyone who had cheated knew that you could only keep up the act and never admit it unless you were directly exposed!

"You're still pretending!"

When the woman heard Lin Tao deny it, she went to his side and precisely grabbed his ear.

Ignoring Lin Tao's cries of pain, she glanced around. Several burly men who had come with Lin Tao couldn't withstand the pressure of her gaze and decisively revealed their trembling sister-in-law hiding behind them.

"Fine, you still say you didn't! You're dead meat, Lin Tao."

The woman raised her high-heeled foot and kicked Lin Tao in the shin.

The excruciating pain instantly traveled from his calf to his brain. The next second, Lin Tao clutched his calf and rolled on the ground, howling in pain.

Completely ignoring Lin Tao's life or death, the woman, wearing high heels, took a step and stood in front of her sister-in-law, grabbing her hair.

"what!"

The scream sent a collective gasp through everyone watching the spectacle...

This woman is way too fierce...

"This woman is either from Sichuan or Chongqing or the three northeastern provinces."

A middle-aged man not far from Gu Bai patted his large belly and said in a very confident tone.

"Judging by his height, he's most likely from Northeast China. This guy is really something, daring to marry a woman from this region."

The middle-aged man's companion, sitting beside him, added his own perspective.

This scene unfolded in various locations throughout the hotel lobby.

After all, eating melons is in the nature of Chinese people. Wherever there are melons to eat, a group of Chinese people will surely gather.

Just as the woman was grabbing her hair, preparing to slap the other woman across the face, the sister-in-law whose hair was being pulled managed to utter a complete sentence in a heart-wrenching voice.

"Sis! Stop hitting me! I know I was wrong! Stop hitting me, it hurts!"

Upon hearing this, the woman's hand, which had been raised high, froze in mid-air. Her face was filled with shock and disbelief, and her eyes held a hint of fear.

The others present were initially stunned by what they saw, but after a moment's thought, they realized what the word "sister" actually meant.

"Oh ho! This is interesting. This fat guy really has a death wish, marrying a woman from Northeast China and still daring to pull this stunt. Doesn't he fear being beaten to death at home...?"

The middle-aged man who was just patting his big belly now had the look in his eyes that seemed to regard a hero.

Those around the uncle nodded silently in agreement.

In this situation, regardless of whether the woman has forgiven the fat man on the ground, the fat man probably won't be able to sleep too soundly at night.

After all, if not handled properly, it can easily result in pieces scattered all over the place...

The atmosphere outside remained silent for a while before the woman raised her hand and slapped her younger sister's face with precision, though the force was not as outrageous as the angry blow she had delivered at the beginning.

"Come home with me first, and I'll settle the score with you then!"

The woman glanced at the growing crowd of onlookers around her, then pulled her younger sister toward the car. As they passed the fat man, she didn't forget to give him a kick.
