Chapter ?214 Dream High And Gu Rong's Connection
The doctor assured him. "I will call you as soon as they get conscious."
"You better do it," he coldly ordered him.
The doctor cried with his threat.
Why are two people chasing after me? And both are so intimidating!
Not only Yating, but Jun was also keeping tabs on the two men to squeeze the answers from them. The doctor was sandwiched between two dangerous men who wanted nothing but judges to wake up from their pathetic state.
Yating hung up and rested his head on the back of his chair. His eyes glowed with threat.
How dare manipulate the results and try to make Ai lose?
"Mr. Gu, i-it feels too cold here. Can you please calm down?" The hacker sweated and requested. "I am freezing here."
Yating hired the same hacker who attacked Sky's systems to take revenge from Jun. Right now, Yating gave him another mission and that was to track down the cul threw him an icy and perilous stare. "I won't calm down until I get a name. That's why you are here, and you haven't given me a name yet."
Even though the judges were admitted to the hospital, Yating refused to lie low.
The hacker gulped. "Because there is no name yet. You told me to track if there was any transfer in those corrupt judges' bank accounts, but there isn't any suspicious transaction of any bribe money. Neither before nor during the Summit. Even now, there is nothing."
Yating narrowed his eyes.
So whoever bribed them decided to transfer the money after the results were confirmed. Or maybe…that person never intended to give any money and simply threw a bait to make them greedy.
But then couldn't the judges just expose that person if they didn't fulfil their side of the deal?
"Did those fuckers meet anybody before the week of the Summit or during the Summit itself?"
The hacker's fingers flew on his keyboard, and he tracked down their movements as much as he could. He shook his head after going through some camera feeds. "Prior to the Summit, they didn't meet any such suspicious person. Not that I can see from their phone records or in all the places they went to during that week. It was all work related stuff."
"During the Summit?"
"No. I have the Summit's footage too. They didn't meet anybody who seemed to be giving them any instructions. There is only the part where I can see them entering a room and then a woman later sticking her ear to the door."
That is Xing Bi, he thought.
Yating sighed in frustration. "Then how did they meet that culprit!? They should have met him somewhere where he told them to make Ai lose in exchange for money. He couldn't have just popped out of thin air."
He got up. "I am heading out. You keep finding any clue you might get about the one who bribed the judges."
The hacker shuddered with the coldness and bobbed his head.
Yating went out to take a breath of fresh air.
If the hacker cannot find that culprit, then my only option is to wait for those fuckers to wake up and confess, he clenched his hands in his pocket. ?
The staff passing by Yating were shocked to see him in such a bad mood.
What happened to our Chief Editor? Isn't he always so amiable?
Yating ignored their gazes and headed to the President's office to meet him to talk about getting Ai back to Dream High by some or the other way.
The secretary smiled. "President will be back at any moment. Please wait, Mr. Gu."
Yating sat on one of the chairs and exhaled as he was left alone. He was waiting for the President when a phone on the desk rang with a call.
Did he forget his phone? He frowned.
At first, Yating didn't bother but when his gaze fell on the caller's name, he snapped his head back to it, blinking hard. The name was upside down, but he could still make it out.
The President then stepped in and smiled. "Hey Chief Editor. My secretary told me you were here. I hope I didn't make you wait for long."
He sat on his President's chair opposite him and faced. "What's wrong? Why do you look so sullen?"
Yating lifted his gaze and asked, "Why is my father calling you?"
The President froze and when he noticed his phone flashing with Gu Rong's number, he quickly hung up. "Ah…what? I think you are mistaken."
"That was my father's name," the temperature rapidly dropped, "Why was he calling you? What do you have to do with him?"
He stiffened and broke into a cold sweat. "That's…"
"Do you two know each other?" Yating asked with a chill in his voice.
"No, Yating. That's not how it is."
"Then why would my father, Gu Rong, call you out of nowhere? What would he have anything to do with you?"
The President was in a pinch.
Yating dangerously smiled at his silence. "Fine then. I will ask him myself."
"Yating, wait! Don't go! I-I will tell you everything!"
Yating stopped, who had almost stormed out of his office. "What is going on?"
He sighed. "Well…your father and I indeed know each other. Gu Rong was the one who told me to arrange a job for you at Dream High here."
He froze. "What the hell…Why would he do anything like that? He hated me for not agreeing to take over his business. He never supported my dream of working in the publishing industry!"
"Well, he doesn't. So he wanted to make sure that you are within his reach even if you don't inherit his business."
"Excuse me? Within his reach? I don't understand," Yating tilted his head.
The President wiped his forehead. "He arranged a job for you here and also became the secret shareholder of Dream High. Right now technically, Dream High is Gu Rong's company."
