Now, his reputation had been completely ruined, leading many to question his character! After all, he was attacked on his very first day in the new position, and the next day, the school was vandalized. Many people attributed all these crimes to him, making Gu Yan the subject of public scorn.

“We must find a way to remedy this,” Gu Yan said through gritted teeth.

Cleaning up this mess meant he had to dip into his own savings! What’s more, if not handled properly, it could impede his business operations.

“Find out! We need to uncover who was responsible,” Gu Yan called out in a low voice.

“After several checks, it’s said that it was a natural earthquake! Only the school grounds were affected, ” Elder Xi reported.

“What.” Upon hearing that, Gu Yan put down the cup he was holding, the tea spilling over. His eyes narrowed with menace as he said, “An earthquake struck only one specific part of S City?”

Listening to this, Elder Xi indeed found it hard to believe. But that was the findings they had received, outlandish as they seemed.

“There is another speculation – the headmaster, along with several professors, got drunk and smashed the place. You need to see it for yourself!” Elder Xi explained.

Upon hearing that, Gu Yan sank into the sofa, feeling a growing headache.

“Figure it out, continue the investigation!” Gu Yan gave an order in a deep voice, struggling to believe his bad luck. Why had all these “good things” happened to him?

“Understood, ” Elder Xi complied.

Gu Yan lifted his hand causing Elder Xi to pause.

“Also, check again! Investigate where Gu Chuyan went these past few days, and about that person we checked on before. Follow up on that matter and see if she went there,” Gu Yan ordered.

“Understood”, Elder Xi obeyed, then withdrew.

Gu Yan moved onto his wheelchair and slid out, mumbling, “Could it be that S City’s situation is about to change?”

He had risen to this position relatively easily! But peace never stayed. Now all the troubles had piled onto him.

“Mr. Gu, there’s someone outside claiming to meet you.” Elder Xi turned around, seeing him at the door, reported respectfully.

“Who is it?” Gu Yan asked.

Elder Xi spoke in a low voice, “It seems to be journalists, do you want to meet them?”

Gu Yan gestured for him to push him forward. As they moved out, there was no sign of the journalists.

“Bang!” Suddenly, a stray cat rushed from the opposite side, ran into Gu Yan, and hit him so hard he flew backward, crashing into a door panel.

“Mr. Gu.” Elder Xi stood aghast at the sight!

Gu Yan was knocked to the hospital due to the sound of his fractured leg…

Halfway up the hill, Xiao Family Pavilion

After having breakfast and taking her medicine, Gu Chuyan slept the entire day! When she woke up, it was already dusk. Lying in bed and looking at the setting sun, she felt a sense of unreality.

She sat up and blankly gazed at the scenery outside.

“Ah.” She moved, accidentally bumping her wound, and touched her forehead. “Ouch.” At that moment, the door was pushed open, and Xiao Mohan walked in.

“You’re back?” Gu Chuyan looked at him, feeling a bit awkward.

Having just woken up, she didn’t know who had changed her clothes. She didn’t want to think about it! In the whole estate, besides her and Xiao Mohan, there was only Han Changqing!

Thinking of this, Gu Chuyan wanted to burrow into a hole! Because of this, she decided she would never bring it up.

“Hmm, is your wound still painful? Let me see.” Xiao Mohan approached, sat down, touched her head, and bowed to look closely. His slender fingers carefully brushed the side of her wound.

“It’s just a small injury, nothing serious,” she replied.

“Let’s go to the hospital and have it examined again.” Xiao Mohan said in a heavy tone, clearly not reassured..
