After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Chapter 670 - 660: The Materialization of Fear Towards Jiang

The person who ca was naturally not the old man of the Gu Family.

After all, it’s just a granddaughter. Even though she is sowhat valued, it’s not to the extent that he would personally drag his old bones here to apologize.

However, the visitor’s identity held so weight; it was Gu Qiantong’s uncle, Gu Weizhen.

The uncle-nephew duo had less than a ten-year age gap and maintained a relatively close relationship in the large and complex Gu Family.

Although Gu Bingshen was angry at his granddaughter, Gu Qiantong, for causing such a big ss, he wasn’t planning to simply abandon her. Sending his youngest son, who had a decent relationship with the eldest granddaughter, was a well-considered decision.

If it were another branch of the family, who might also be free but were competitors with the main branch, they might not be as sincere; they might even trip her up.

Gu Weizhen was the best choice, and he had no complaints about being hurriedly dispatched.

But whether it was Gu Bingshen, who stayed in the main house monitoring progress via video, or Gu Weizhen, who rushed to Aibosi Manor straight off the plane, both felt a heaviness in their hearts after witnessing Gu Qiantong’s state.

To offend the Aibosi family and be caught red-handed—they had already predicted before seeing her that Gu Qiantong would not be in good shape.

However, before the Gu Family representatives arrived, Gu Qiantong should not have suffered any private punishnt.

Such is the tactical restraint in conflicts among powerful families.

But reality was far beyond their expectations.

Looking at his distressed niece, Gu Weizhen was seeing her in such a sorry state for the first ti.

She was still in the evening gown from last night’s dinner party, but the hem was stained, her shoes were disheveled, and while her diamond wristwatch and expensive jewelry remained, even the most extravagant of them dimd against her smudged makeup and face clouded with despair.

The niece bore no injuries, not even scratches, but she looked worse than if she had been physically hurt.

"Tongtong?"

Originally, Gu Weizhen intended to scold the girl in front of the Aibosi family mbers to display so strictness.

Yet, calling her na now took on a cautious tone, feeling as if she might collapse under any sternness.

"Tongtong?"

After calling several tis, Gu Qiantong’s unfocused eyes finally regained so clarity, and she realized who was standing before her. "Uncle!"

Gu Weizhen had to extend his arms to catch the niece that suddenly lunged at him, feeling as though the grip on his suit jacket was as desperate as if she were clinging to a lifeline, and he dared not forcefully retrieve his wrinkled garnt.

Detecting a faint indiscernible sll along with a lingering perfu scent, he inhaled again, suddenly plagued by an unthinkable suspicion.

"Tongtong, you..."

He hoped she hadn’t lost control of herself.

Yet catching sight of a nearby figure through his peripheral vision, he quickly swallowed his words.

Finally managing to calm her to loosen her grip, Gu Weizhen hurriedly pulled her away from himself.

Not that he was disdaining his niece, but... alright, he was a bit!

Aibosi Koli couldn’t personally accompany soone like Gu Weizhen, especially to fetch Gu Qiantong. Moreover, with Hemier still unconscious, the other second son was directly excluded from this matter, so accompanying him was Vini.

Seeing her old friend looking like such a ss, Vini couldn’t help being stunned.

This was truly... quite disgraceful!

Yet even when eting Gu Qiantong’s guilt-ridden eyes seeking forgiveness, her heart remained unmoved.

Or rather, ever since learning that Gu Qiantong had utilized her friendship to aid Wu Hua in such a grave misdeed, she had erased Gu Qiantong from the list of her friends.

She could have told her the truth earlier, could have allowed them to take precautions and avoid the current scene, but she chose a path of no return.

"Vini!"

"Miss Gu should call Miss Aibosi instead, Vini is a na only my friends can use." As her eyes swept over the tearful-looking Gu Qiantong, Vini turned to the frowning Gu Weizhen, "Miss Jiang and Mr. Shen are still waiting for you two, please don’t waste ti here."

Before arriving, Gu Weizhen had already learned from his father the foolishness Gu Qiantong committed on Aibosi family property.

Colluding with outsiders harboring ill intentions towards the Aibosi family to set a trap on Evans Family territory, all for a man!

If she were his own daughter, he’d truly be furious.

The prestigious daughter of the Gu Family, needing a man!

More explicit details were withheld by Aibosi Koli from consideration of Jiang Lingxi, as the matter also involved a human life.

But even just what was said was severe enough.

As he pondered how to apologize and compensate, Gu Weizhen didn’t notice Gu Qiantong trembling upon hearing Miss Jiang’s na.

Vini noticed but pretended not to see it.

They had no choice but to go.

Avoidance was futile, facing it was inevitable. If only she had known this was coming!

The grandniece was most likely already at the residence where Miss Jiang and Mr. Shen were staying.

Only a few steps ahead, Gu Weizhen finally realized his niece hadn’t followed and turned back to witness the sheer terror etched on her face.

"What now?"

Acting as the one cleaning up the ss, he had already set off to personally apologize. Yet, the perpetrator of all this fuss hesitated?

"I’m not going, Uncle, you’re here to take away, aren’t you? Please, I don’t want to see them!"

"Gu Qiantong," Gu Weizhen sternly used her full na, "now is not the ti for rebellion!"

"Do you know what Jiang Lingxi did? She killed soone! I saw it with my own eyes!"

Gu Weizhen’s face changed instantly.

With the Gu Family headquarters overseas, unlike the peaceful Hua State, in business dealings, he had once carried a gun for protection and hired rcenaries who wouldn’t blink at killing to safeguard himself.

He had indeed witnessed death firsthand.

But Jiang Lingxi, he had checked her information before coming; she was younger than his niece and a celebrity.

Murder, and on Aibosi family grounds?

It sounded inconceivable.

Yet, being familiar with Gu Qiantong, he knew she wouldn’t tell such a lie just to escape trouble in a situation like this.

"Miss Vini, is what Qiantong said true? Aibosi Old Madam didn’t ntion this on the phone with my father."

"Jiang Lingxi killed soone who deserved it." Vini succinctly replied, gesturing for them to proceed.

She was a bit worried Miss Jiang might beco impatient from waiting.

Drawing a deep breath, Gu Weizhen instructed the two bodyguards accompanying him, "Escort the eldest miss."

Refusal was not an option; strength would prevail in this instance.

Miss Aibosi’s ssage was clear: no room was left for negotiation.

For the impending eting with Jiang Lingxi, he knew he must alter his approach.

An audacious young girl capable of killing with her own hands—he had only seen such in the rcenary squads born from chaos.

Yet upon finally eting Jiang Lingxi, he realized just how inadequate his ntal preparation had been!
