Chapter 41 Who is the Mole
The night gradually fell, and the crowd finished work poured out from different types of buildings. The cold wind blew hard on the faces of the passersby who were in a hurry. They wrapped their coat more closely unconsciously, curled up their necks, and rushed to the subway entrance quickly.
The lights in the CEO's office of the Gu Group were still on. Standing in front of the large French window and looking out at the dark night and the passers-by, Burke looked solemn.
"Knock, Knock, Knock.." There were a few rhythmic knocks on the door of the office.
"Mr. Gu, David is here." Mike reported outside the office.
"Let him come in." The voice of Burke came through the door is cold, as if there was a chill that sent shivers down one's back.
Waiting outside the door, David felt inexplicably uneasy, his heart beating fast. Although this new president was young, he did not take him seriously. He only thought that this young man was not powerful enough to take any new action. The method and mind of Burke since he took office were hard to guess, and made his scalp tingle, for fear that he would find out what he had done.
"David, please." Mike turned around and nodded politely to David, then opened the door of the president's office and gestured him to come in.
Mike asked someone to take him over, but Mike didn't explain the reason. Mike just said that Mr. Gu was looking for him for something. David muttered in his heart. He had always been careful and careful when working with the Yuan Group. The Hetian Real Estate Project was flawless. Such young business inexperienced man, it was impossible to discover it, but there was a hidden uneasiness in his heart. He felt even more uneasyHe felt as if something had happened.
"David?" Mike reminded when he saw David stood still with a panic look on his face.
David managed to stay calm and collected, but his legs were involuntarily trembling due to nervousness.
David hesitated for a while and finally stepped into the office.
The moment David entered the office, the door was lightly closed by Mike, who was just outside the office. There were only two of them in the room. It was so quiet that David seemed to hear his breathing getting more and more rapid.
David, who was nearly sixty years old, but didn't hold much shares of the Gu Group, he had struggled hard with Burke's grandpa, At that time, he was still a diligent and honest young man, following Burke's grandpa wholeheartedly. Afterwards, the Gu company grew stronger and more eye-catching in the business circles. Burke's grandpa let him own a small part of the stock of the Gu Group, which was also a reward and reward that he had struggled for these years.
Although the Gu Family treated him well, with the Gu group's performance, the annual bonus was enough for him and his family to live a luxurious life. However, his disappointing son, relying on his rich family and some connections with the Gu Group, was arrogant and lazy from an early age, only knew to eat, drink and play, and was a complete Playboy.

Thinking of this, David couldn't help sighing. He blamed himself for his busy work in early years. He only had a son in his middle age, so he naturally spoiled him and let him do whatever he wanted. Otherwise, he wouldn't be spoiled by such a spendthrift.
"Take a seat, David." Standing in front of the floor to ceiling window, Burke slowly turned around, as usual, cold and unruly. He walked slowly to the desk, pulled open the back chair and sat down.
Hearing this, David was absent-minded. He quietly walked to the reception sofa next to the desk and sat down. The strong aura of Burke suppressed him, making him even more nervous, as if he could not breathe.
Although he was one of the members of the board of directors, he had already retired. Except for some major projects, he was basically not involved in the management of the Gu Group. He usually only invited the directors of various enterprises to play golf, and seldom had any contact with Burke. Therefore, he always thought that the man in front of him was just a paper tiger. After all, he was too young to be as fierce and outstanding as it was said.
But it was quiet in the room at the moment. There were only two people, David and Burke. The strong spirit and the unpredictable expression and tone of Burke made David's opinion change. Perhaps, he had underestimated the strength of the young man in front of him.
"David, you have worked in the Gu Group for so many years. You are my senior official. I should have called you uncle." Said Burke indifferently.
"Mr. Gu, I can't take it." David became even more uneasy. He knew that the reason why Burke asked him to come here was not just to have a chit chat with him and call him uncle or nephew.
Burke leaned forward a little, his elbow leaning on the table, his fingers locked together, looking at David on the sofa.
"How's your son going recently? I heard that David loves your son very much. "
David froze when he heard his son was mentioned. He was too nervous to say a word.
Noticing that David was in such a panic, Burke already got an answer. "Then let me speak it out for you," he said slowly
"Your son is a playboy, playing in Macau and gambling all the year round. You have spent a large amount of money on the last few years, which is too much for you, right?"
"What?" David's hands began to sweat.
"I heard that your son was kidnapped by the local Mafia force last month because of his huge gambling debt. He required to pay his debt and pay his money. Now your son have returned to the inland safely. He even booked the whole place of Tianjiao nightclub last night. I have seen the amount of debt your son has to pay. With your fortune, even if repaid it, I'm afraid he can't live in such luxurious way. " Burke's cold tone and a series of questions made the defensive line in the David's heart collapse.
"My people have already checked that David's assets are not reduced but increased in recent days. How did your son come back to mainland smoothly? Where did he get the money to redeem himself?" Burke slowly stood up, grabbed the folder at his hand and began to read.
David was paralyzed with fear. His face was livid with rage. He kept silent and stared at the coffee table in front of him.
