Chapter 662 - Gunan's Hurdle
A loud crash echoed inside the luxurious suite on the penthouse floor of the LG Club.
Gunan panted heavily, surrounded by the broken remains of the newly purchased flat screen wall TV.
"Why is it there again?! Who is pushing out this news?! We already had it buried with another person's scandal!"
The intercom vibrated as the voice of an anxious man replied, "We are still looking for Guan Xixin. He was last sighted in the Guan Empire premises-"
"Useless fools! I told you to get hold of him! Why haven't you gotten hold of him yet?!"
"We have never seen Guan Xixin come out from the building. He probably stayed on the chairman's office the whole night. There are too many guards, way more than usual--"
"I don't need your excuses. Get him down immediately! After all the efforts I've done to stop this from getting bigger, it got blown up again. It must be him. Stop this news at this moment! Immediately!"
"Yes, Master."
Gunan gritted his teeth. "How about the people from the news company? I told you to silence those who got the tip so as to not make this mistake again. Make sure to silence them now. I don't care if you need to get your hands dirty."
"Yes, Master, I will see to it."
The call ended.
Gunan was seething in anger.
He had not slept a wink since yesterday. He was afraid that he would receive a call from his father. So all night, he tried to clean up everything in social media and personally handled the politician's scandal. After hyping up the news to make it more sensational, it finally pushed his own scandal under the table.
But now, all of those efforts were for naught!
Guan Xixin was obviously not stopping anytime! If this continued on, his father and master would not put a blind eye to it. His master might take matters to his own hands. With his master's personality, it was no doubt that he would take everything from Gunan. All of his hard work would be destroyed then!
Gunan ran his hands through his hair.
As his butler had said, the highest floor of the Guan Empire, the chairman's floor, had the maximum security possible. His men and his spies would not be able to go to the floor easily. Even the remaining nearest spies would not be able to make a move or else they would be noticed. Even though they knew that Guan Xixin was in that place, they could not approach him at all.
Gunan's eyes flashed darkly.
Since the man appeared in the Guan Empire, then he might as well get him himself. After all, he was still the newly appointed chairman of the Guan Empire despite the rumors circulating in the society.
Stretching his hand, Gunan reached for his coat and put it on. He passed by a mirror and saw his wretched self, including the golden pair of eyes.
He scoffed.
Right, he must arrange his appearance first.
He was the leader of the Guan Empire. He must show to everyone that these useless rumors were not going to take him down.
After getting a quick bath, Gunan put on a smart slim fit suit, put on his contacts, and was about to go out when the entrance door opened.
Lu Jin's eyebrows moved when he saw the clean and prepped up Gunan. He thought that Gunan would be in a panic state right now. But then his eyes caught a glimpse of the broken TV screen in the corner, he was proven right.
But why was he dressed up like this? Does he plan to go outside just when many people were after him?
Lu Jin frowned. "Where are you going?"
"To my Empire." Gunan walked past him.
"Wait." Lu Jin held his arm. "It's too dangerous for you to go out right now. The matter is brought up again. Aside from getting assaulted by the media, the Guan Family is suspecting you right now. They might detain you. "
Gunan pulled his arm away from Lu Jin's hold. "This matter will soon be buried again," he said with confidence. "The public will see this as an attack from the enemies of the Guan Empire. People will think that the enemies are just slandering me to harm the Guan Empire. The most important thing to do right now is to stop this news from reaching father's ears. You can help me out with that, right?"
"The scale is too big right now, way more than yesterday. Even if I stop the spies from reporting to father, that man will hear it from another source. It is better for you to stay here and prepare for the worst case scenario."
Lu Jin could see the situation clearly.
The people behind this scandal had no intention to stop today. For sure, they still have some cards up on their sleeves. He did not know how much these people knew about Gunan. But the fact that they have such evidences meant that they must have the means to bring down Gunan.
In the first place, Lu Jin felt that it was inevitable for the Guan family to notice the unusual coincidences that hid whatever happened many years ago.
But Gunan did not think so.
He felt as if he was looked down upon. His pride was already heavily wounded in the first place, so he was in a depressed mood.
He looked at Lu Jin firmly.
"So you too think that I can't handle this myself? I might be a person from the slums and have nothing compared to you, who is born with a father holding great power." His tone was condensing. "But I am also competent like you, Ah Jin. This matter will be stopped by me. I am just starting with my own career. This will be a great help to father once I overcome this."
