CHAPTER 32: HE WAS TOO LATE

Brother Yu, the President Gu you’ve been searching for is actually here in Ancient Water Village. Xiong Yao couldn’t help feeling excited at this moment.

He quickly found Chi Yu’s private phone number and dialed—

’Sorry! The number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later...’

Xiong Yao: ?

What the heck, Brother Yu, why aren’t you answering at the critical moment!!

He dialed again, but still heard the unavailable message through the receiver. Xiong Yao was getting frantic but couldn’t get through.

"Damn it, is it really destined by heaven?" Xiong Yao muttered in frustration and then thought of Yi Shu.

Yi Shu might already be near the orchard at the back mountain by now. Xiong Yao immediately called Yi Shu.

On his way to the orchard, Yi Shu received a call from Xiong Yao. He found a spot to sit and answer: "What’s up? Is the internet down again?"

The internet in Ancient Water Village was usually okay, but it rained heavily last night, causing some issues, hence today’s intermittent connectivity.

Xiong Yao replied excitedly: "No, no, no, the internet is great today, and we should be thankful for it!"

Hearing Xiong Yao’s excitement, Yi Shu became suspicious and asked, "What’s going on?"

Xiong Yao said, "I saw President Gu."

Yi Shu: "..."

The call went silent for a few seconds. Yi Shu didn’t say a word, knowing Yi Shu wouldn’t believe him. Sure enough, Yi Shu’s voice came through: "Xiong Yao, are you bored? Chi Yu isn’t around so you can’t joke like this."

Yi Shu meant well, to prevent Xiong Yao’s cleverness from backfiring and getting fired. Given Chi Yu’s unpredictable temper, if he got upset, Xiong Yao could be easily replaced, and Yi Shu couldn’t protect him.

Xiong Yao understood Yi Shu’s concern and stopped beating around the bush: "I know you don’t believe me. I was stunned when I saw the video too, couldn’t believe President Gu is the owner of the farm! I was afraid it was just a resemblance, but then I saw Dao An next to the owner."

Yi Shu: "..."

Thinking Yi Shu still didn’t believe him, Xiong Yao became more excited: "Who is Dao An? Dao An is President Gu’s secretary! So Yanyan is President Gu!!!"

After he finished speaking.

Yi Shu’s excited voice came through the receiver: "If it’s true, you’ve made a huge contribution."

Xiong Yao was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Yi Shu said, "I’ll go find Chi Yu. Don’t reveal President Gu’s identity to anyone. Since we’ve just found out, it shows that President Gu doesn’t want everyone to know her identity."

Xiong Yao replied, "I understand that."

After hanging up, Yi Shu stood up, patted his backside, and sighed towards the sky, "Amitabha, finally found President Gu, and hopefully the cloudy days are over."

God knows what tough times these past few months have been...

...

Half an hour earlier.

Chi Yu went to the storeroom in the orchard, and as expected, it was a wasted trip.

Even if Yuanyuan had indeed been here, he was too late.

’Woof’

Chi Yu looked down: "Shut up."

Huang: ’Woof’

Chi Yu frowned, using his foot to push it away: "Get away from me."

From leaving the village chief’s house to the orchard storeroom, the little yellow dog had been following closely behind Chi Yu, the bell around its neck jingling.

At this moment, Chi Yu stood under a mango tree, gazing at the storeroom in the distance for quite a while. Retracting his gaze, just as he was about to head back, he suddenly heard a wet splashing sound.

Chi Yu looked down and saw the little yellow dog lifting its leg to pee, aiming right at Chi Yu’s shoes.

Chi Yu: "..."

After two seconds of silence, Chi Yu lifted his foot and kicked the dog’s rear, and the little yellow dog barked at Chi Yu a few times:

’Woof woof woof.’

Those barks seemed to taunt: What’s wrong with me taking a piss here, big guy?
