Chapter 967: Private Dealings

work, but ever since Gu Yi Han became the editor-in-chief, she feels like work is as terrifying as a flood of ferocious beasts.As if fearing the worst, she had barely settled into her office when Edit...But soon Liu Xu's words slapped Gu Ke Yu again, making her realize that some people won't turn back until they hit a wall.

"Miss Gu, the reason I'm calling you today is that I really need your help! To be honest, I'm desperate and have run out of options. Right now, only you can save me!"

Faced with those fabricated photos before, Liu Xu didn't have the slightest remorse. She called not to apologize to Gu Ke Yù, but simply because she was being threatened and wanted Gu Ke Yù to save her from danger.

She didn't even mention the scandal that had caused so much trouble for Gu Ke Yu before, as if all the blame wasn't on her at all, she didn't even seem to want to talk about it.

Hearing the pleading in Liu Xu's voice on the phone, Gu Ke Yu felt a surge of anger. If she were standing in front of Liu Xu right now, she might just tear that vicious fox apart.

Gu Ke Yu took a deep breath before barely suppressing the fire in her heart. She gripped her phone tightly and said coldly to the other side: "Even if I could do this, I wouldn't want to help you. Besides, I'm not sure if I could handle it well!"

"Miss Gu, please don't jump to conclusions so quickly. You will definitely be interested in what I have to say next."

Liu Xu quickly explained to Gu Ke'yu, taking a deep breath and then continuing: "Miss Gu, you should be as curious about Jiang Yinghan's background as I am. If you help me this time, I promise I will thoroughly investigate for you and definitely find out Jiang Yinghan's background."

"Don't you remember what Jiang Yinhang said before Do you really want to let him get your press card revoked"

Gu Ke'yu was once again conquered by Liu Xu's train of thought. Things had developed to this point, and she not only showed no signs of restraint, but instead became more and more courageous. In another way, didn't she really care about her journalist credentials

On the other end of the line, Liu Xu didn't answer Gu Ke Yu quickly. After a moment of silence, she lowered her voice and said, "I've always wanted to investigate this. I've worked hard for so long, and I don't want all my efforts to be in vain. If I can't get this done, what's the point of being a journalist"

"Even if you investigate other news stories, you can still be a good journalist. Why do you have to cling to Jiang Yinghan so tightly" Gu Ke'yu said to her helplessly, his voice softened by a few points. Liu Xu spoke with a hint of crying in her voice, and Gu Ke'yu always felt uncomfortable hearing it.

Like a cute and innocent girl like her, it's easy to get what she wants by acting coquettish. Even someone as ruthless as Gu Ke Yu couldn't help but be a little more lenient towards her.

“No, this is different. Investigating Jiang Yinghan’s background was the first assignment I received as a journalist. If I fail even my first assignment, I definitely won’t be able to do anything else well in the future.” Liu Xu said resolutely, with a hint of her own insistence.

After hearing her words, Gu Ke'yu still didn't agree immediately. She didn't say anything, but the scale in her heart had already started to waver.

It wasn't just out of sympathy for Liu Xu's situation, or a reluctance to see her persistence challenged. It was more because Jiang Yinghan's recent performance had aroused an undeniable curiosity in Gu Keyu's heart. He could even handle those previous online scandals, so what couldn't he accomplish

This feeling of bewilderment clung to Gu Ke Yu stubbornly. She was so eager to know who Jiang Ying Han truly was. Otherwise, his current presence would only make her feel inaccessible.

But out of her moral principles, Gu Ke Yu was still somewhat wavering. She kept thinking and struggling, and didn't immediately agree. Liu Xu also fell silent, waiting anxiously on the other end of the phone for Gu Ke Yu's next response.

If I agreed to Liu Xu's plea today, would it be a betrayal of sorts towards Jiang Yinghan in some way Would I feel less confident and righteous when facing him again in the future

But Gu Ke'yu was also intensely curious about Jiang Yinhang's mysterious background. Her curiosity and rationality were locked in a constant tug-of-war.

Okay, I agree to what you just said.

In the end, Gu Ke Yuyi's curiosity got the better of her. She gritted her teeth and gave her answer, but in her heart, she prayed that Jiang Yinghan wouldn't blame her too much after knowing this!

"Really"

Liu Xu couldn't help but question Gu Keyu again, her voice still trembling slightly. It seemed she hadn't expected Gu Keyu to actually agree to her request at all.

"That's great!"

Compared to the excitement and joy of Liu Xu, Gu Ke'yu seemed overly silent. She always felt that after agreeing, she had clearly betrayed Jiang Yinghan.

Soon, the next challenge came, making Liu Xu unable to be as happy as before. The two of them now stood on the same battle line, facing Jiang Yinghan's mysterious background.

Before this, Liu Xu had also inquired privately about Jiang Yinghan's background, but because the other party's confidentiality measures were too perfect, they didn't reveal any clues in their daily life. Even after so long of inquiring, she still had no leads.

Even in her daily interactions with Jiang Yinghan, Gu Ke'yu didn't forget to implement her plan. She would subtly inquire about his background, but Jiang Yinghan would simply raise an eyebrow slightly and a smile would appear on his face at the sight of Gu Ke'yu's expression.

He then playfully and vaguely refused her, saying, "You'll know when you marry me."

Faced with his answers, Gu Ke'yu always felt awkward and helpless, so later he simply stopped asking him.

As the timeline stretched day by day, Gu Keyu and his team still made no progress. Liu Xu's attitude toward this matter changed from initial excitement and anticipation to dejection, and finally returned to a state of lifeless tranquility.

The more things developed, the more restless Gu Ke'yu's uneasiness became. She always felt that what she did was a betrayal of Jiang Yinghan's trust.

"It's rare for us to finish work this early today. We still have some time before dinner, why don't we go grab a cup of coffee together"

The crew of "Thousands Mountains Snow" finished their afternoon shoot in a short while. As the weather gradually became hotter, everyone sped up their work as much as possible. very insecure feeling made Xu Zhuoning unable to help but scream, subconsciously clutching Ouyang Chu's neck beside her, closing her eyes and not daring to look again. Ouyang Chu's body finally gave...
