Guan Lei’s lips curled into a smile at the pandemonium unfolding before him. “Since the Guan family can’t benefit from this, then let the Gu and Liu family co down with us!” he said.

The next day, news of the Liu family receiving bribes spread like wildfire, and their initial lead in becoming the top general was lost.

With the once highly acclaid Liu family ousted, a new candidate quickly erged. However, in the struggle, both the Guan and Gu families suffered setbacks.

Guan Yi, ard with evidence provided by ng Yu, successfully cleared his na from the investigation.

Yet, the mastermind behind the sche, the Gu family, faced no repercussions, as those deserving punishnt had long been handed over by the Guan family and t their demise.

Gu Chen, having just recovered from his injuries, barely had ti to catch his breath before investigators arrived at his door to inquire about the assault on Guan Lei in his laboratory.

Despite his pallor, Gu Chen maintained a smile and denied, “I played no part in this incident. I certainly don’t possess the ability to infiltrate the Imperial Capital Military University.”

The visitors politely said, “Mr. Gu, we are just following procedures. Please cooperate with our investigation.”

Gu Chen calmly rose from his seat and replied with a smile, “Absolutely!”

With that, he instructed Qian Tong with a serious expression, “I’ll go with these officials. Take care of things at ho.”

Qian Tong nodded in acknowledgnt.

Soon, news of Gu Chen being taken in for questioning spread among many.

No one had expected that while the Guan family was grappling with a crisis, the Gu family would soon follow.

When Gu Chen saw his little leather ball in front of him, confusion crossed his face. He asked the people across from him, “What’s the aning of this? Why is my stuff here?”

After exchanging glances, the person in the middle smiled and said, “Since Mr. Gu admits it’s yours, it makes things easier. We found this in the laboratory and wanted to ask why your belongings were at the scene of the attack on Guan Lei.”

Gu Chen leaned back in his chair, slightly furrowing his brows in amusent, saying, “How would I know? Maybe soone stole my stuff? Gentlen, please investigate this thoroughly. It’s crucial to find the person who stole from . Otherwise, with soone freely entering and leaving the Gu residence, my personal safety cannot be guaranteed. Thank you!”

With a few words, Gu Chen positioned himself as a victim.

The officials, observing Gu Chen’s nonchalant deanor, continued their questioning. “Where were you on the day Guan Lei was attacked? What were you doing? Do you have any witnesses?”

Gu Chen spoke calmly and at a steady pace, appearing completely unruffled, “On that day, I think… I was at ho, admiring pictures of my favorite girl, then I went out to handle business affairs for the Gu Group.”

Gu Chen lowered his head and coughed softly before continuing, “Officials, everyone knows, that even if I wanted soone to attack Guan Lei, I wouldn’t do it myself, let alone leave such a significant item at the scene. Officials, I’m not a fool.”

Though the officials knew Gu Chen had a point, nonetheless, they found his belongings at the scene. “Mr. Gu, we’ll verify your claims. But for the ti being, we’ll need you to stay here.”

“This is your job, and I understand. However, I hope you gentlen can clear my na as soon as possible. I still have a lot of work to do. If I spend my ti here today, I’ll have to work overti on company matters tonight,” Gu Chen said, maintaining his unwavering smile.

The officials couldn’t help but marvel at how Gu Chen, even on foreign turf, remained calm. Indeed, he was the smiling fox of the Gu family.

While things were tranquil for Gu Chen, the Gu family was in turmoil.

Gu Qing and Gu Lin, along with their n, confronted Qian Tong.

Glaring nacingly at Qian Tong, Gu Qing sneered, “Such a loyal dog. Your master is done for, yet you’re here guarding his ho.”

“Young Master Gu Qing, I advise you to speak less, or when Master Gu returns, every word you say will be your death warrant!” Qian Tong retorted coldly.

Gu Lin approached Qian Tong with a pitying look and mocked, “Do you think he’ll co out? Let tell you, he won’t. The Guan family will pin the bla for attacking Guan Lei on him, and he won’t escape.”
