Eric was detained by Wayne on this side, but Lily on the other side was so anxious that she walked in
the living room. She was not at ease. At the time, Eric left in a hurry and his face was not good. She
always felt that something will happen at Gu family.
She did not know much about Eric's parents and his grandfather, Wayne Gu. But she could tell that he
was not an easy-going person after seeing his words to Claire in the Gu family last time. This time,
such a thing happened. The punishment to Eric would be not easy.
"Girl..." Joe couldn't help but said when he saw Lily walking back and forth in front of him, "Sit down
first. Grandpa was dazzled by you."
"How can I sit still?" Lily said worriedly. "It's almost midnight. He hasn't even sent me a message. I'm
worried about him."
"I know what you are worried about." Joe stood up and walked to Lily. He pulled her to sit on the sofa
and stared at her. "What happened to him? Besides, it's not a big deal. Mr. Gu couldn't beat his
grandson half to death for such a thing, could he? Don't think too much."
Joe's words didn't make any sense to Lily. On the contrary, she became more and more worried.
She could image the scene in which everyone in the Gu family opposed to them. A group of people
surrounded Eric and made remarks, while he kept insisting on his own opinions.
She knew his character. She was afraid that if he insisted too much, he would irritate everyone in Gu
family. At that time, he would have a hard time.
At this moment, the mobile phone on the tea table rang. As soon as he heard the mobile phone ring,
Lily quickly took it over and saw that it was from Ellison. She felt a little disappointed.
"Hello, brother Ellison." She answered the phone.
"Are you worried about Eric?" Ellison's lazy voice came from the other end of the line as if he was
talking to a stranger.
Lily frowned slightly. "Brother, do you have any news about him?"
"Well, there is one piece of news..."
"How is he?" Before Ellison could finish his words, Lily could not help interrupting him.
"Haha..." Ellison laughed in a low voice. "Nothing serious. He just got some family rules and was
grounded. I'm afraid he can't get out in these two days. Let me tell you."
"Confined?" Lily raised her voice unconsciously. She didn't expect the Gu family would do such a thing!
"Yeah, that's the traditional Chinese law. He was grounded and he can't eat or drink, until he
compromise." Ellison explained indifferently.
"Can't eat or drink until he compromise." hearing this, Lily felt that she was really crazy. According to
the temper of Eric, how could he compromise? It meant he would be starving for several days.
Even though a tiger doesn't eat its cubs, this punishment is too much. What if it makes people starve
and faint in the room, no one will find out?
"Take it easy. Eric is not that easy to compromise." "He's so strong. It's okay for him to be hungry for
three or five days."
"How can I take it easy?" Lily refuted subconsciously, "If he don't eat or drink for three or five days, how
is he going to be hungry at that time?"
Ellison's low laughter again from the phone. Ellison continued, "You'd better go to the Gu family
tomorrow morning. It's not appropriate for me to do it."
"I want to go now." Lily blurted out.
"It will only make things worse if you go now. You can go tomorrow." Ellison tried to persuade her.
After thinking for a while, Lily answered, "Okay."
After talking a few more words with Ellison, she hung up the phone. Although she got the news about
Eric, she was still very worried.
She turned to Joe, "Grandpa, let's go to the Gu family tomorrow."
"Okay." Joe nodded. He had listened to her conversation and figured out what she had said, so he was
more in love with Eric.
Lily frowned and sighed. She stood up and went upstairs.
Looking at her back, Joe shook his head helplessly. Nobody had ever thought that such a thing would
happen at this critical moment, and it even overshadowed the scene that AF Company favored
investment in the city.
It was indeed a little tricky. If he couldn't deal with it well, it would directly affect the reputation of both
Gu and Qiao families, and even lose the opportunity to cooperate with AF Company.
After hanging up the phone, a light smile appeared on Ellison's lips, but then he retracted it. He raised
his head and looked at the male assistant standing in front of the desk.
"Have you found out anything?" His voice was a little low.
"I found it," The assistant nodded and handed him a pile of documents. "These are all the pictures that
were taken last night, as well as the information about the photographers and the newspaper that
published this news."
"Yes." Ellison took the papers and waved his hand. "You can leave now."
"Yes." As soon as he finished speaking, the assistant turned around and left the office.
Lowering his head to read the information in his hand, Ellison smiled coldly. Since he saw the news this
morning, he knew that there must be someone who did it deliberately. He didn't expect that it was a
little girl.
It seemed that the two women of the Qiao family were both very calculating. The bigger one wanted to
kill someone, and the small one wanted to destroy their reputation.
Putting down the documents in his hand, he leaned against the back of the chair and lifted his feet, with
his legs crossed on the desk. He rotated the cellphone in his hand, as if thinking about something.
When he received the call from Eric before, he was a little surprised. Generally, he would not call him
with that special number unless there was an emergency.
But he didn't expect him to be locked, the Gu family's style a little bit conservative.
Thinking of this, the smile on Ellison's face became more and more obvious. If Eric could be fully aware
of this matter, it would not be a bad thing.
After thinking for a while, he put down his cell phone and called the landline.
"Come in." After saying that, he hung up the phone.
After a while, the assistant who had just gone out came in again.
"What's up, Mr. Ellison?" The assistant asked respectfully.
"Go and ask this newspaper to publish these photos." Ellison selected several photos that he had just
watched and handed them over to the assistant. "Spend some money and make them the headlines
tomorrow. Don't let anyone know who you are."
The assistant frowned, somewhat puzzled, but did not ask too much. Whatever the boss said, he would
do it. So he nodded and said, "I see."
"And..." Ellison continued, "If someone investigate this, I think you don't need me to teach you how to
do, do you?"
"Okay, Mr. Ellison." The assistant nodded. What he meant was obvious. Being his personal assistant,
how could he not know?
However, those who took the pictures might suffer a lot.
"Okay, go ahead with your work."
"Yes." After taking the order, the assistant went out again.
After the office door was closed again, Ellison smiled satisfactorily. Although it was immoral to do so, it
was not a bad thing.
He took up the phone again and turned it in his hand. He then dialed a number with a smile on his lips.
The phone was picked up as soon as it rang.
"I have asked someone to look into the photos," He said 'honestly', "We'll have the results by
tomorrow."
"So long?" Eric's doubtful voice came through the phone.
"Why don't you just find it out yourself?" Ellison retorted bluntly. "Eric, I also have something to deal
with. Why didn't you call me earlier and ask me for help? Now you blame me for being slow."
"I didn't mean that." Eric explained, "I just want to know who took the pictures, we could be taken even
in a secret place."
Ellison smiled and naturally looked at the pile of documents on the desk. In fact, as soon as he saw the
news this morning, he had done what Eric asked him to do. He just didn't want to tell Eric in advance.
And he naturally had his own purpose of doing so.
"We'll know the answer tomorrow." Ellison replied perfunctorily and then changed the topic, "By the
way, Lily just called and I spilled the beans by accident. I told her you were grounded."
"Why did you tell her that?" There was a touch of anger in Eric's voice.
"I didn't mean it." Ellison said sadly, "She might go to the Gu family tomorrow."
"Got it." On the other side of the phone, Eric was silent for a long time before answering.
"It's not convenient for me to show up in the Gu's, so you have to deal with it by yourself." "If Lily goes
there tomorrow, how will your grandpa and your parents treat her?"
After a long silence on the other side of the phone, Eric said, "I'll look into it. Help me find out the
person who took the pictures, and use your power to seal up the newspaper!"
The last part of the sentence revealed a sense of domination.
Hearing that, a smile at the corners of Ellison's mouth. He held his mobile phone in one hand and
played with his pen in the other. "I see. Tomorrow… I will give you the answer you want. But, Eric, I can
only help you once or twice. You still have a long way to go. I can't always help you with this kind of
thing."
After a few words with Eric, he hung up the phone. Only then did Ellison smiled with satisfaction. If he
wanted Eric to grow up quickly, he had to use some potent medicine.
