Chapter 54: Little Perverted Kitty~
The worker death and injury case at the Luohai Commercial Building turned out to be much simpler than expected.
The reason other people kept getting controlled by the dead worker’s family was simply because their methods were too gentle and too considerate toward them.
Their kindness was being taken advantage of.
But Gu Zhiren had always acted quickly and decisively. The moment he arrived, he directly explained the pros and cons of the situation to the family.
He also brought out the autopsy report and confronted them with it. Although the worker died at the construction site, he had consumed alcohol beforehand.
Then Gu Zhiren showed evidence proving that the worker had been having an affair outside his marriage. Before the accident, he had a serious fight with the woman involved, the kind where both sides wanted to ruin each other.
There were clear reasons to question the worker’s mental state.
If the family wanted to continue making trouble, they could keep going. But if they did, not only would they fail to get proper compensation in the end, they would also have to pay a huge amount of money to the Gu Group for damaging the company’s image and delaying the project.
And obviously, they could not afford such consequences.
So very quickly, they made the smartest choice.
The dead worker’s family causing trouble nonstop, the sudden worker accident, and his own car crash. All three events happened at the same time.
Gu Zhiren did not believe this was just a coincidence.
These matters still needed further investigation.
After finishing the problems at the Luohai Commercial Building, Gu Zhiren returned home with his family.
After everyone showed concern for him and talked for a while, he opened the wooden door to his study room and sat at the desk as usual. Mu Yi’s phone and bag were placed neatly on top of the desk.
If someone asked whether he was curious, then yes, he really was curious.
For example, he wondered whether Mu Yi had selfies saved on her phone, or perhaps a personal diary.
In his memory, Mu Yi used to keep a diary before.
Curious as he was, Gu Zhiren’s upbringing did not allow him to secretly search through another person’s belongings.
Trying his best to suppress his curiosity and ignore the items, he slowly turned on the computer and opened the Egg Bun Novel website.
The homepage was filled with all kinds of novel recommendations.
But Gu Zhiren ignored them all and entered his bookshelf, opening the only novel he had saved.
The title was “Miss Bai Qiu Who Refuses to Lose”.
The cover seemed different from before. Now it showed a white-haired, red-eyed girl sitting on steps beside a black-haired boy. They were both wearing the blue-and-white school uniforms commonly seen on campus.
The girl was smiling brightly while resting her chin on the boy’s shoulder. The boy had turned his face away, but his eyes were still secretly looking at her.
Both of their faces were red, though the boy’s face was even redder.
“Mmm...”
Gu Zhiren completely could not remember what the old cover looked like anymore.
But as for this current cover, it was pretty good.
He did not spend too much time admiring it. Instead, he opened the novel and checked the date of Mu Yi’s latest update. He discovered it had been updated around five in the afternoon yesterday.
Thinking about the timing, that seemed to be right before the car accident happened.
Or rather... shortly after they finished arguing.
Looking at the four chapters Mu Yi had voluntarily updated, Gu Zhiren lightly raised his eyebrow and narrowed his eyes slightly. A small shy yet happy smile slowly appeared on his face.
Updating so many chapters at once was obviously her way of trying to make peace with him.
But why did she not just say it directly back then?
Could it be that his angry expression scared her too much, so she did not dare say anything?
Was he really that scary?
Probably not, right?
Thinking this, Gu Zhiren frowned with a complicated expression. As he recalled how he acted earlier, he could not help shaking his head again.
He felt that his guess was correct.
After reflecting on it for a while, he noticed it was already close to two in the morning. After some thought, he decided to read a little of Mu Yi’s novel to relax before going to sleep.
After all, the newest four chapters happened to be about the movie theater scene.
He was quite curious about it.
Time passed second by second, and the roughly eight-thousand-word plot was quickly finished.
The novel’s style was still as light and fresh as ever, and the story was almost exactly what Gu Zhiren had imagined.
Basically, Huo Qiu invited Bai Qiu to the movie theater, wanting to see her embarrass herself, only to get outdone by Bai Qiu once again. But in the end, one careless action from Huo Qiu still managed to make Bai Qiu shy.
There was not a single explicit scene in the whole chapter.
“She’s clearly full of dirty jokes and even reads that kind of manga... Mu Yi, don’t tell me you secretly write erotic stories in private too?”
Thinking back to the manga book in Mu Yi’s house, Gu Zhiren could not help making a comment.
Recalling the final scene where Bai Qiu became shy, the usually proactive girl had, for the first time, become passive instead. Her blushing and racing-heart reaction clearly showed the feelings of a girl deeply in love.
For a moment, Gu Zhiren became very curious about Mu Yi’s state of mind when writing that scene.
It was obvious that the scene...
Was completely based on their movie theater date.
After staying silent for a while, Gu Zhiren closed the browser. But then he suddenly noticed a compressed file on the computer desktop and remembered that it was a collection of files Mu Yi had given him not long ago.
Now that he thought about it, she had even specially included a document full of erotic stories for him.
Could it be...
Gu Zhiren slightly raised his eyes, a playful bad smile appearing on his face. Without hesitation, he extracted the compressed file and opened the extra document Mu Yi had included.
The Abnormal Love History of the Female Player Queen, The Doctor’s Road to Corruption, The Caring Trash Fox Lady Gets Properly Disciplined Again Today, The Goddess of Light Somehow Became the Evil God’s Beloved...
Seeing these titles, Gu Zhiren’s smile slowly froze. He suddenly had no desire to open them at all.
Rolling his eyes, he still forced himself to suppress the disgust and resistance deep inside his heart. One by one, he opened the erotic stories and quickly skimmed through them.
After comparing the writing styles for a while…
Although there were slight differences in tone here and there, it was still obvious they were written by the same person.
A smile slowly appeared on his lips as he folded his hands together.
“Mu Yi, oh Mu Yi... I really underestimated you. You truly are quite the naughty little kitty~”
The level of explicit content was far greater than that manga book, and this one document alone contained thirty erotic stories.
Gu Zhiren rested his head on his left fist and once again looked through the titles from top to bottom. Halfway through, his eyes already started hurting.
If these had not been written by Mu Yi, he would never have tolerated looking at them for more than two seconds.
Then he turned back to the novels Mu Yi wrote on Egg Bun website.
Does the Blond Guy Not Deserve True Love?, The Romantic Downfall of the Ice Queen Heiress, Childhood Friends Are Definitely True Love, Miss Bai Qiu Who Refuses to Lose...
Just from the titles alone, the first impression was completely different.
“You can tell she worked really hard. If nobody compared them side by side, who would believe they were written by the same author? That’s honestly impressive, Mu Yi.”
Gu Zhiren leaned back against the chair with his fingers pressed together, admiration showing in his narrow eyes.
His gaze accidentally landed on the date shown on the computer screen. He slightly adjusted his sitting position, and the moment he saw Wednesday displayed there, a memory flashed through his mind.
Today was already Wednesday.
Earlier, he had promised to send Mu Yi back to Ganlan City. He disliked breaking promises.
Gu Zhiren had already started looking forward to Thursday’s birthday celebration.
Turning his head to glance at the bag and phone on the desk, he thought for a moment and quietly muttered,
“I should return these to her while I’m at it. Otherwise, she probably won’t even be able to enter her rented apartment.”
