185: Chapter 185 The Domineering CEO in Disguise?

When Gao Qiqiang bought the address online, Zhao Yang asked a few more casual questions and discovered that he and Qin Yumo really were just acquaintances—he actually only had Qin Yumo's work number, not even her private number.

Zhao Yang was speechless.

"You are the big shot Gao Qiqiang, did you pick up the wrong script?"

But thinking about it carefully, it wasn't too outrageous.

Men remain boys until they die; it's normal to be at a loss when true love arrives. Not to mention Gao Qiqiang, even heroes who went down in history were still manipulated by the word 'love.'

"Wenhua Jiayuan, Building 3, 3601?" Gao Qiqiang looked at the address he had purchased, stunned for a dozen seconds, then turned his head to look at Zhao Yang, "This is Wenhua Jiayuan, right?"

Zhao Yang smiled, "Yes, you can see the balcony of 3601 when you get to the top of the building."

"I knew that kid was a scammer," Gao Qiqiang said with an annoyed expression. "How could Qin Yumo possibly have run off to a place like this?"

Zhao Yang was stunned, "Why is that impossible?"

"Isn't this your place, Brother Yang?" Gao Qiqiang stopped mid-sentence, stuck for a long moment before swallowing, "Qin Yumo... is she really here?"

Zhao Yang nodded, "Yeah, she hasn't been living here long."

Gao Qiqiang swallowed and rubbed his hands together, "Boss, then... I..."

"If you want to find her, just go find her."

Gao Qiqiang frowned, "That doesn't seem right, it would look like I'm stalking her. How about... I find a place to stay nearby, and when she comes out one day, I can 'accidentally' run into her?"

Zhao Yang thought for a moment and asked, "Does Qin Yumo know your real identity?"

Gao Qiqiang swallowed and gave a wry smile, "She knows, but not exactly accurately."

Zhao Yang frowned, "Old Gao, speak in a way others can understand."

Gao Qiqiang sighed, "It's like this: when we first met, I was going to the company's grassroots level to distribute benefits, and I was wearing a courier's work vest. Later, she must have kept thinking I was a courier, and I never had the chance to tell her the truth."

Zhao Yang slapped his forehead and leaned back on the sofa, "Fine. Old Huang is 'The Rich Girl Falls for Me,' and you, Old Gao, are 'The Dominant CEO in Disguise.' You're both something else; you're both protagonists."

Gao Qiqiang looked confused, "Boss, I don't understand."

"That's not important," Zhao Yang said with a smile. "Qin Yumo is a pretty good girl; I support you."

Gao Qiqiang grinned, "Then I'll find a place in the complex right away."

"I promised to be a guest at 3601 tonight, you can come with me later," Zhao Yang laughed. "Don't bother looking for a place, just stay here. When you're free during the day, help me warm up the cars. Those Red Beans in the garage haven't been driven in a long time; the fuel has probably gone bad."

"Alright, thanks, Boss."

"Tonight when you see Qin Yumo, tell her your real identity. Don't let her keep thinking you're a courier," Zhao Yang instructed.

Gao Qiqiang immediately said, "She's not a snobbish girl; I won't misjudge her."

Zhao Yang shook his head, "I'm worried that if you two really start dating, and she finds out you've been hiding things from her, she'll get Life Qi and run away, and then you'll end up in a 'chasing the wife through the crematorium' farce."

"Uh..." Gao Qiqiang imagined that scene, lingering fear in his heart, and said, "Then I'll tell her sooner."

Zhao Yang checked the time and said, "It's dinner time. What do you want to eat? My treat."

Gao Qiqiang thought for a moment, "Pork trotter noodles."

Zhao Yang laughed, "I actually know a place that has them, and the taste is authentic. Let's go."

Afterward, Zhao Yang drove Gao Qiqiang across half of the Magic City, and they each ate two bowls of pork trotter noodles. By the time they returned to Wenhua Jiayuan, it was already dark.

As the two were walking toward Building 3, they suddenly heard a scream from ahead, followed by Zhang Wei's angry voice, "Who has so little class, throwing things around!"

Zhao Yang's heart stirred—is it really such a coincidence?

This must be the scene where Zhang Wei gets hit in the head by a diamond ring falling from the sky.

In the original story, Qin Yumo discovered ambiguous calls with other women on Richard's phone and was very Life Qi, throwing the diamond ring Richard had given her out the window, which happened to hit Zhang Wei downstairs.

Just as he was thinking about the plot, Zhang Wei let out another scream, "Ah! Who is it? Not again, right? Why are you throwing things still?"

Zhao Yang paused, then suddenly realized—alright, Qin Yumo found the previous ring, and threw it twice.

Both were quite accurate, hitting Zhang Wei on the head both times.

Zhao Yang immediately walked a few steps faster and called out, "Zhang Wei, what happened to you?"

Zhang Wei clutched his head, grimacing, "I don't know who has no class, throwing things around, and twice too, it's too hateful."

"What kind of things?"

"Seems like stones. Let me look for them to secure evidence." Zhang Wei immediately lowered his head to look. A short while later, he stood up, holding the two diamond rings with a shocked expression, "Brother Yang, look... this... a diamond? My God, I got hit by a diamond?"

Zhao Yang said casually, "How does this look like Yumo's diamond ring?"

"Ah?" Zhang Wei thought about it, "It seems like this is the one she was wearing at noon. Why did she throw it down?"

Although Zhao Yang knew the reason clearly, he still shook his head, "I'm not sure, let's go up and ask. Oh right, let me introduce you—this is my fellow townsman and also my good friend, Gao Qiqiang."

Gao Qiqiang was wearing a high-end tailored suit, gold-rimmed glasses, a slicked-back hairstyle, and a shiny Rolex on his wrist; he looked like a big boss at first glance. Zhang Wei quickly stood up straight and said politely, "Hello, my name is Zhang Wei, I am a lawyer."

Gao Qiqiang smiled slightly and reached out his hand, "Hello, Lawyer Zhang."

Zhang Wei looked as if he had been electrocuted, making an expression of pure enjoyment, and enthusiastically grabbed Gao Qiqiang's hand, "Hello, hello."

Gao Qiqiang looked at Zhao Yang with a strange expression, as if asking: Is this guy okay?

Zhao Yang couldn't help but laugh, "Old Gao, you don't know, Zhang Wei is about to take the bar exam. Calling him Lawyer Zhang is wishing him success in passing the exam."

Gao Qiqiang realized, "Lawyer Zhang, I wish you success on your exam."

Zhang Wei looked touched, "Mr. Gao, thank you so much."

The three chatted as they went upstairs. After knocking open the door to 3601, Zhang Wei ignored Tang Youyou who opened the door and immediately rushed in, "Yumo, Yumo, why are you throwing rings around? You hit my head just now, and you hit it twice..."

Tang Youyou quickly grabbed him and made a shushing gesture, "Zhang Wei, don't shout, Yumo is upset right now."

Hearing this, Gao Qiqiang showed an anxious expression. Zhao Yang patted his shoulder and whispered, "Don't get carried away."

"Brother Yang?" Tang Youyou saw Zhao Yang behind him, remembered that Qin Yumo had mentioned inviting Zhao Yang, and her expression became awkward, "You're here?"

Zhao Yang nodded, "Yeah. Youyou, let me introduce you—this is my friend, Gao Qiqiang, Chairman of the Qiangsheng Group. He heard that Yumo also lives here, so he specifically came with me to take a look." He then turned to Gao Qiqiang, "Old Gao, this is Tang Youyou, a very talented actress."

Gao Qiqiang stepped forward and smiled slightly, "Hello, Young Miss Tang. I heard from Prosecutor Zhao that Qin Yumo lives here. Is she at home?"

"Ah?" Tang Youyou's expression turned strange, and she began to mutter to herself: Qin Yumo just chased away a gem merchant boyfriend, and immediately after, a big boss comes looking for her by name—and he's also Zhao Yang's friend. Why is there such a strong scent of gossip in this?
