n Chao listened to Yin Li’s words, his eyes squinting again.
"It is said that after Su Xiaofeng’s car accident last ti, she suffered from amnesia, even if we call her over now, it wouldn’t be much use," Yin Li said, feeling a bit regretful about this.
n Chao had not seen Su Xiaofeng since her accident, and now, hearing about her amnesia, he felt sowhat irritated, "I believe that apart from finding clues on her, the Dragon King and Gu Yecheng must have other connections."
"My lord, if we can prove that the Dragon King is indeed the young master of the Gu Family, wouldn’t that an the young master has a hold on both the underworld and the law-abiding world?" The Dragon King was the number one master in the underworld, while the young master of the Gu Family was the heir to the Gu Family, one in the underworld, the other in the legitimate world.
"Now that the Gu Family is in trouble, Gu Yecheng must be too busy to get away," n Chao naturally had an understanding of the recent news about the Gu Family.
"It’s said that soone released an anonymous letter, claiming that the incident back then was masterminded by the Family Head of the Gu Family. My lord, should we do sothing about this? If it really was the Gu Family’s doing, they are our enemies." The lord was a direct victim of the explosion case that year; if the Gu Family was the mastermind, as the Family Head of the Xu Family, he should naturally seize the opportunity to make a move.
n Chao’s eyes glanced outside, his gaze as dark and unfathomable as the deep sea, and after a long ti, he finally said, "Let’s go, to the Gu Family."
"My lord, you an to..."
"As one of the victims of the incident, of course I must et with the mastermind from back then."
n Chao, along with his n, went directly to the Gu Family. Upon seeing n Chao arriving with his people, Ye Fei imdiately inford Gu Yecheng.
"Young master, the Family Head of the n Family is here, and his approach seems aggressive. I’m afraid he does not co with good intentions."
Gu Yecheng nodded, "I know, have them wait outside for a mont, I’ll co out shortly." Gu Yecheng put down a few bottles in his hand, then picked up a cloth to wipe them down.
In the living room, n Chao sat in a chair, his subordinates standing behind him.
n Chao was wearing a dark green coat, adorned with a hat.
The butler had so tea brought over, and n Chao took the teacup, gently scraped it with the lid, and took a slight sip.
The butler stood by, observing the young Family Head.
In the span of a few months, the young Family Head seed even more imposing, with every move exuding a decisiveness that gave off an illusion of ruthlessness.
When Gu Yecheng ca out, n Chao had just placed his teacup on the table.
"Family Head n, do you have business here?" Gu Yecheng, dressed in a black coat, sat down briskly, his eyes like an eagle’s as he looked at the other party, his lips curled into a smile.
Sitting there, he exuded a sense of majesty as if he ruled over all he surveyed.
"Gu Family young master," n Chao’s legs were crossed, one hand resting on his leg, "I heard that the mastermind behind case 319 has been found. I wonder who was the mastermind back then?"
"I am still investigating that matter," Gu Yecheng’s legs were also crossed, "I will make sure those victims from that year are given an explanation."
"That’s nice of you to say, Gu Family young master," n Chao said with a light smile, "but I have heard that it was Elder Gu who conspired with external forces to orchestrate an explosion that would destroy our achievents. And letters of Elder Gu colluding with external forces have also surfaced. With so much evidence pointing to your Gu Family’s involvent, your apparent nonchalance now, young master Gu, wouldn’t imply you are trying to protect your own relatives, would it? If so, how does the Gu Family intend to address this to the families of the deceased and the victims?"
"My grandfather was also frad; he was not the one behind the scenes," Gu Yecheng took a sip of his tea, "The real mastermind is soone else, but it’s definitely not my grandfather. I know what kind of person he is."
"He’s your grandfather, of course, you’d cover for him," n Chao sneered, "but I must remind you, Gu Family young master, that what you sow, so shall you reap. If by any chance you are concealing the truth, there will be consequences."
"I’m just being realistic," Gu Yecheng’s thin lips barely moved.
"I hope so. Then I wish you, young master Gu, early success in cracking this major case, and giving us victims from back then the explanation we deserve."
"Rest assured, I have never given up on this matter," Gu Yecheng nodded.
"I hope the findings you co up with will not disappoint us. If you, young master Gu, are intent on protecting your relatives, it would be truly disappointing to us and to your Gu Family, or perhaps to you personally."
After saying a few words, n Chao left.
Ye Fei did not understand why n Chao had co and asked Gu Yecheng with confusion, "My lord, what does he an? Does he believe that Elder Gu was the mastermind, or does he not?"
At first, it was thought that the n Family Head had co to cause trouble, but with just those few words, his intentions beca difficult to discern.
"He ca to see the Gu Family’s stance," Gu Yecheng said with a smile. "Now, everyone in the Imperial Capital is watching the Gu Family. Regardless of whether Grandfather was the mastermind back then, in many people’s hearts, they hope he was. That way, they all have a reason to deal with our Gu Family."
Human nature is like that, if you’re too excellent all the ti, there are always those who want to replace you and beco the excellent one.
Regarding this matter, there were many who enjoyed the spectacle, and just as many who laughed at the misfortune.
The phone rang, it was a call from An Yi.
After taking the call, Gu Yecheng said to Ye Fei, "Let’s go, An Yi has found out that Haige is getting very close to a man who has returned from overseas, and now it can be preliminarily confird that the man is He Xiuze, who was presud dead in the explosion incident."
...
Sitting in a corner of the café, Haige looked at the man in front of her, tears flowing incessantly. "Xiuze, is it really you? You didn’t die?"
She had shed so many tears over He Xiuze’s death back then.
He Xiuze, wearing glasses, looked lean and gentle, refined and elegant.
The bright-eyed boy from back then, how much had the corners of his eyes been tinted with the vicissitudes and sophistication of the world?
"Gege," Xiuze adjusted his glasses. "I was rescued by soone when the explosion happened, so I was lucky enough to survive. But I can assure you that the mastermind back then was Elder Gu. It was him colluding with others that led to the explosion incident."
"Xiuze, I don’t want to hear about this right now. I just want to know where you’ve been all these years, whether you’ve married and had children, and why you haven’t co back to find ." Haige’s eyes were brimming with tears as she looked at him. "Xiuze, do you know, ever since the explosion, I’ve been living a life worse than death? Every ti I close my eyes, I think of you; I really miss you so much."
Xiuze reached out and held Haige’s hand. "Gege, I’m sorry. After being rescued, I thought about coming back to find you. But so many people died at the site. If I hadn’t died and suddenly reappeared, others would definitely be suspicious. So, Gege, I couldn’t co back, nor did I dare to. I was afraid that if I ca back, I’d be captured as a traitor."
"Gege, I’m sorry. The reason I dared to return now is that I heard news that the mastermind behind the incident had been caught, so I dared to co back. I haven’t married these years; I’ve been thinking of coming back one day to marry you. Gege, would you like to leave with ? From now on, it would be just the two of us together, getting married, having children, living our lives."
Listening to Xiuze’s words, Haige cried and laughed at the sa ti. "Xiuze, do you know how long I’ve waited for this sentence? After you, no other man has caught my eye. I always thought if you were alive, you would definitely co back to marry , and you really did co back."
"I have co back." Xiuze’s eyes revealed worry. "But eting you, people will definitely notice. They will surely capture ."
"Xiuze, was the incident back then related to you?" Haige looked at him.
"Gege, do you trust ? At that ti, all I wanted was to show my research results to the teacher and everyone. I had no other intentions."
"Xiuze, as long as you say that you had nothing to do with the incident back then, I believe you. You know I’ve always trusted you, dreaming that you would co back to life."
"Gege, thank you. I knew you’d definitely trust ."
"He Xiuze," Gu Yecheng ca with his n right over. "I really didn’t expect you to dare co back."
He Xiuze looked at the young man in front of him, then towards Haige. "Gege, who is this?"
"This is Gu Yecheng, Elder Gu’s grandson." Haige introduced He Xiuze. "Acheng, Xiuze said he wasn’t the mastermind, and he had no involvent in the incident back then. For this matter, do you have evidence? If there’s no evidence, you can’t just suspect people. We can’t suspect Xiuze just because he didn’t die."
"Yes, Young Master Gu, you can’t just casually arrest a scapegoat and try to exonerate Elder Gu." A middle-aged man, also accompanied by people, ca in.
Gu Yecheng looked at the newcor, who was the rising star in the Imperial Capital, Shen Quanwu.
"What brings you here, Mr. Shen?" Gu Yecheng narrowed his eyes.
Shen Quanwu took out an official docunt. "I’m sorry, Young Master Gu. Since the suspicions against Elder Gu have not been cleared, and it’s possible that he was the mastermind of this case, after a unanimous decision from above, all matters related to this case will be handled by from now on. You should understand the higher-ups’ intention, Young Master Gu; it’s to have the Gu family and yourself understand the need to avoid conflict of interest."
Gu Yecheng scoffed, "If that’s the higher-ups’ will, I will of course respect it. As such, I’ll leave this case to you, Mr. Shen, and I eagerly await your investigation results."
"Don’t ntion it, I will certainly handle it diligently to clear Elder Gu’s na as soon as possible." Shen Quanwu’s smile carried a hint of mockery.
Gu Yecheng gave He Xiuze a aningful look, but without saying a word, he left the scene with his n.
