Mr Fu, I Really Love You

Chapter 1237 - Ah Zhan’s Death Was Really Timely

Chapter 1237: Ah Zhan’s Death Was Really Timely

Following Gu Qingcheng’s “death”, the connections associated with Gu Qingcheng’s relationships vanquished too!

He had paid for his peace with too many... lives. Gu Qingcheng had feelings for those people. They were once a part of Gu Qingcheng that he couldn’t bear to discard.

The thing criminals feared most was having people they cared about!

But when Gu Qingcheng was still an army ammunition dealer, the person he pined most for was Yun Liuli!

This was why people had seized that weakness of his, causing him to nearly die.

After Gu Qingcheng died and became Jacob Bellucci, what he pined most for were those people who used to risk their lives with him, people who were already dead.

But Jacob Bellucci had no weaknesses, so he could live peacefully.

Gu Qingcheng narrowed his eyes as he watched Yun Liuli getting off the horse with Lin Nuan and kneeling on one knee as they received the sacred decree.

His peripheral vision swept his surroundings. Seeing that only Fu Huai’an’s assistant Little Lu was around, he asked calmly, “Did something happen recently?”

Gu Qingcheng had been in that circle for a long time, so he was more sensitive towards danger than anyone else. He could sniff danger from a distance...

This was also one of the reasons Gu Qingcheng managed to stay alive although he had acted so ruthlessly all these years.

Tang Zheng had been saying in a half-joking manner that the heavens were blessing Gu Qingcheng, and even the Grim Reaper could do nothing about him.

Fu Huai’an looked up at the screen, a smile appearing on his lips. It looked as if he was casually chatting with Jacob Bellucci. “Mm, Li Muyang’s right-hand man, Ah Zhan, is dead, so we might have a situation in the US!”

Gu Qingcheng nodded in silence, looking in Yun Liuli’s direction.

Ah Zhan’s death was really timely. Gu Qingcheng had just passed away... and at this juncture, when his organization was taken over by Cen Mo, Ah Zhan passed away...

Never mind what the US government would do. Those people eagerly eyeing the De Niro family were probably dying to make a move!

It might be difficult for Li Muyang... to see the light of day again!

Unless Li Muyang died!

Gu Qingcheng had died, and Jacob Bellucci was merely a photographer who could do nothing except give his opinion.

“Then there’s no need to keep Li Muyang alive. In case it gets troublesome later on...” Gu Qingcheng turned his head sideways, and his gaze met Fu Huai’an’s.

Behind those glasses, Gu Qingcheng seemed to truly have transformed into Jacob Bellucci. His aura as Jacob Bellucci didn’t change at all as he spoke those hair-raising words.

“Mm, don’t worry about these things...” When Fu Huai’an spoke, there was a warm smile in his eyes. “Focus on dating!”

Gu Qingcheng nodded, then turned back to continue looking at Yun Liuli.

It was rather risky to be speaking these words to Fu Huai’an in such an aboveboard manner. But... Gu Qingcheng couldn’t afford to lose anyone connected to him anymore, not even one! Hence, he had to remind Fu Huai’an.

For Ah Zhan to die at this juncture... it was clearly giving Li Muyang a chance to stand before people again.

Li Muyang had never been an ordinary character. If he was so much as given a tiny bit of hope, he would be able to turn things around. He wasn’t the master of the De Niro family for no reason.

It was extremely easy to kill someone...

Although there would be troublesome matters following that, it wasn’t as worrisome as having Li Muyang personally come out and stir matters up.

Gu Qingcheng reminded himself that this was the last time. It was the last time he would ask Fu Huai’an about these matters...

After today, he would be Jacob Bellucci, and he wouldn’t touch anything that had to do with Gu Qingcheng.

Else, he would be letting down those good pals who gave up their lives to help him lead a peaceful life.

It wasn’t known what Gu Qingcheng saw that made him smile in a Jacob Bellucci-way... a faint smile, one that made one feel very comfortable seeing it.

Little Lu looked over, following Gu Qingcheng’s gaze, and saw that Yun Liuli was clasping her hands together and apologizing to the production crew members. Lin Nuan flicked Yun Liuli’s forehead with a smile before getting onto her horse to film the scene again.

In Little Lu’s memory, he didn’t recall ever seeing Gu Qingcheng sitting under the sunshine in an aboveboard manner like this!

The Gu Qingcheng in his memories had lived in darkness, as if he was the king of darkness, never once putting himself at risk by stepping into the sunshine.

Today, Gu Qingcheng got a new lease on life. Sitting under the sunshine... he looked so peaceful that it was hard to associate him with the person who once killed ruthlessly in the darkness!

Little Lu sighed inwardly. Now that Gu Qingcheng had truly extracted himself from the quagmire, he only hoped that Gu Qingcheng would be able to live peacefully from now on so that those many people hadn’t sacrificed in vain.

Yun Liuli and Lin Nuan’s progress at filming wasn’t very smooth. Although the director hadn’t shouted at them, Lin Nuan could tell that there was a problem. She stood behind the monitors and said something to the director, and she could be seen nodding her head repeatedly.

After that, the director announced that they were done filming for the day...

Director Hu had chosen Lin Nuan himself, and he had a lot of confidence in his choice. He felt that Lin Nuan merely lacked experience. Actually, her acting was pretty good already, but Director Hu wanted something deeper, so he asked Lin Nuan to go back and mull it over!

Director Hu said that he was in no rush and asked Lin Nuan to take it slowly. He joked that since the investor was Lin Nuan’s husband, they were merely wasting Fu Huai’an’s money anyway.

It was rare to meet such a good-tempered director. Lin Nuan asked Director Hu not to worry, for she herself also felt that she could do much better!

This time, Lin Nuan showed a keen interest in acting in a movie.

Just as Yun Liuli said, after they were done shooting... the four of them went to Lu Jinnan’s newly opened hotpot restaurant in two cars.

Since it was a hotpot restaurant owned by one of them, the taste was secondary. Most importantly, the place was clean, and they could talk properly in a suite.

Little Lu didn’t intrude on them. After driving them there, he hailed a cab and left by himself.

...

“Lu Jinnan owns this restaurant, so it’ll be convenient for us to talk...”

Once they entered the suite, Fu Huai’an spoke those words to Gu Qingcheng.

Gu Qingcheng removed Jacob Bellucci’s mask but continued speaking very little. He sat with Yun Liuli and didn’t eat much himself, for he was busy putting food on Yun Liuli’s plate.

Gu Qingcheng wasn’t so fond of hotpot. He had a preference for lighter-flavored foods, but Yun Liuli and Lin Nuan sometimes favored richer-tasting foods.

Perhaps wary of the fact that Yun Liuli and Lin Nuan were around, Gu Qingcheng didn’t wish to speak with Fu Huai’an about those vexing affairs, lest the two women worry for them. Hence, they only talked about how they had been living these days.

To Gu Qingcheng, this was a life he didn’t even dare dream of leading in the past. Now that it became a reality, he cherished it very much.

“Are you successfully quitting smoking?” Fu Huai’an asked Gu Qingcheng with a smile.

Once, Gu Qingcheng was astonished at how completely Fu Huai’an had quit smoking. At that time, he had asked Fu Huai’an whether he was successfully quitting smoking.

Fu Huai’an had replied that when he thought of Lin Nuan, it was successful...

Now, Gu Qingcheng experienced this first-hand for himself.

Gu Qingcheng nodded. “Mm! Successful...”

After the meal, the four of them said farewell at the entrance of the hotpot restaurant.
