Chapter 1224: Threat (2)

The circle was only that big after all. Gu Lingsha's incident was already abuzz in City Z, and Mu Lingshi only listlessly watched things unfold.

"Do you know about Shasha?" Doris probed.

Mu Lingshi smiled. "I'm sure everyone in City Z does. You didn't call me here for coffee just to chat, did you?"

"You're quite a frank one." Doris looked impressed at Mu Lingshi. She lowered her head to take a sip and then continued, "I know that Gu Qiwu's looked for you before. Is he planning on acknowledging you as his daughter? Maybe even let you take over the Hui Gu Corporation? I heard that he's even secretly watched over your husband, Mu Lingmo, quite a few times now."
