C18 Another Woman
Gu Jingjie's old face twitched in anger for a while, but he could do nothing as he looked at his innocent looking underlings. He knew that he had missed the best opportunity.
He had been hunted by his subordinates for such a long time, yet he couldn't find the murderer. How could he possibly catch him now?
"You bunch of pigs, if there was anything wrong with your father's body when the murderer tried to assassinate me, then you guys can just wait for your family members to be found!"
Gu Jingjie had a stomach full of anger, but he didn't know where to start. He had no choice but to howl at his subordinates.
He had been in a bad mood recently because of Gu Huainan. His subordinates were all beaten and scolded by him, but none of them dared to resist.
After Gu Jingjie had vented his anger, he finally opened the door and prepared to leave.
"Boss?"
At this moment, a timid voice called out to him, "There must be a killer's gun on this bullet shell. Maybe we'll even have fingerprints, if we're lucky. Should we go call the police?"
Call the police. If this matter were to be exposed, the higher-ups would definitely find the person who tried to assassinate him.
However, if the higher-ups were to interfere, wouldn't Gu Jingjie's past actions and the underworld dealings of the Gu Clan be investigated?
There was an unwritten rule among merchants that no matter what the deal was, one could not be caught red-handed in public.
"Pah!"
Seeing that Gu Jingjie's expression was off, the other subordinate ruthlessly slapped him in the face. "You're such a fool. Don't tell me you want our boss to take revenge?"
After that, the subordinate bowed as he fawned over Gu Jingjie. At this moment, the expression on his henchman's face became clear, "Eldest brother, don't mind this little brother. He was just trying to cover up his intentions."
Seeing his lackey's sullen face that was covered by his hands, and the fact that blood was seeping out of the corner of his mouth, Gu Jingjie's complexion improved greatly.
"Hmph, ignore him!"
With that, Gu Jingjie drove away in a swagger. Only then did his subordinates heave a sigh of relief. They silently wiped off their sweat and followed him out.
In the end, that lackey who had been beaten up, looked in the direction Gu Jingjie had left, his eyes filled with hatred.
From the corner of the second floor of the parking lot, a figure appeared in the shadows. He blew out the gun in his hand and looked at Gu Jingjie, who had just left, as an unfathomable smile appeared on his face.
Within the small villa, Hu Mei was on the balcony tidying up the clothes that had just been dried. The golden sunlight shone on her body, bringing with it a feeling of warmth and beauty.
Gu Huainan rested his chin on his hands as he quietly sat on the sofa and watched her busy herself, chewing gum nonstop.
After regaining his consciousness, what he could not bear the most was for Hu Mei to coax him like a child and give him a lot of snacks and toys.
He had no choice but to pretend that he liked chewing gum.
The chewing gum was sweet. It was not the mint taste he liked, but the fruit. However, this was still better than the endless number of snacks, yet he still pretended to like it and stuffed it away.
Compared to before, his body was much thinner and fatter!
"Huainan."
The tranquil moment was interrupted by Tang Zile's shout. Gu Huainan glanced at him without batting an eyelid, and immediately understood what he meant.
"Fox sis, I'm going out to play!" Can you take me there? I want to go to the amusement park! "
Gu Yinan said coquettishly, ignoring the clothes that were still busy in Hu Mei's hands. Her fair face was filled with innocence.
"Be good, Huainan. I have to pack my clothes now. I'll go later, okay?"
Looking at the pile of clothes in her hands that were not folded yet, Hu Mei felt a headache coming on.
Perhaps because of her habit of living alone, she was a woman with a slight obsession with cleanliness and obsessive compulsive disorder. He didn't want to see the habit of running out to play before he finished his work.
However, Gu Huainan had made up his mind. He didn't care about Hu Mei's busy life and kept looking at her with watery eyes. She couldn't bear to refuse.
Helpless, Hu Mei coaxed Gu Huainan, hoping he would give her time.
However, she knew that there was no reason or excuse for a "child" with a demented mind. She had to go, so she wouldn't listen to Hu Mei's explanation.
"Sister-in-law, why don't I take him out to play? You've cleaned up the house, and when we return, you won't be busy."
Just as Hu Mei was having a headache and Gu Huainan was pestering him endlessly, Tang Ziling walked over with a smile on his face.
"How can I trouble you? You've already helped us so much, we can't let you waste any more time …"
Before Hu Mei could finish her sentence, Tang Zile interrupted her, "Sister-in-law, what are you saying? Third brother has already given you quite a bit of trouble. If we don't help out, how can you bear it?"
Hu Mei was too embarrassed to refuse after hearing what Tang Zile had said. She could only nod and allow him to lead her to the amusement park.
Hu Mei watched as Tang Zile took Gu Huainan away before finally returning home. Looking at the pile of clothes, he felt even more guilty.
She was originally together with him for benefits, but by mistake, she received his and his brothers' sincere care.
Other than taking good care of him, she didn't know how to repay these people's kindness.
"Alright, she has already entered the villa. You don't need to maintain that obedient baby face of yours."
After stealthily looking back and seeing Hu Mei enter the villa, Tang Zile spoke to Gu Huainan. Hearing this, Gu Yinan's expression immediately became extremely cold. His handsome face was like a knife, giving off a chilling air.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I am really curious. It was rare to see my cold and quiet third brother make such a surprising change. Speak, who did you learn this technique for instantly changing your facial expression? "
Upon hearing Tang Zile's words, Gu Huainan looked around to make sure that no one was around before he quickly sent a fist flying towards his face.
"Speak like a woman, what is going on?" That old thing Gu Jingjie, how did he suddenly become so obedient? "
When it came to proper business, Tang Ziling wasn't as mischievous as he was now. He quickly reported his recent actions to Gu Huainan.
It turned out that after Su Qi found someone to scare this old fox, Gu Jingjie, he became suspicious and shifted his attention to Gu Dong.
From Gu Jingjie's point of view, Gu Huainan had already gone mad. Gu Dong, on the other hand, had brought his men and left the Gu Clan. He had also taken away some of the Gu Clan's elites as well as a large amount of funds.
Most importantly, Gu Jingjie was currently the Gu Clan's last person on the surface to take over the Gu Clan. If something were to happen to him, then Gu Dong's branch family would be able to take over the Gu Clan.
He had achieved it by overthrowing the Gu Clan and taking the place of the main branch of the Gu Clan!
"So, that old fogey thinks that you've really gone silly, and Gu Dong is the one behind all this." "Of course, including the scene where Second Brother acted in the parking lot, he has already put all these debts on Second Brother and Gu Dong."
Hearing this, the corners of Gu Huainan's lips curled up as he revealed a cold smile.
Old man, didn't you want to get the Gu Clan? And you want me to sign the contract that will transfer the Gu Clan to you through Hu Mei.
Then, I'll let you savor the whole process of a group falling in your hands!
Gu Huainan was not afraid that the Gu Clan would fall under Gu Jingjie's hands. Even if Gu Jingjie had sold out the Gu Clan and completely destroyed the entire clan, he still had the confidence that he would be able to completely combine the Gu Clan once again!
"Your mission is to divert that old fellow Gu Jingjie's attention and work together to suppress the Gu Clan, turning them into a fallen company, or even a failed one."
After thinking for a while, the two of them walked to the quiet forest at the back of the district. The lush and verdant trees were completely out of the way for outsiders, Gu Huainan said softly to Tang Zile.
If he really wanted to force this old man to the point where he had no other choice, he would have to give him the greatest amount of pressure and torture.
Hearing Gu Huainan's words, Tang Ziling trembled and looked at him in fear.
Tang Zile knew that Gu Huainan was about to take his uncle seriously.
Over the next few days, Gu Dong brought his elites to suppress the Gu Clan group fiercely. Although it seemed like he was the only one doing it, there was actually a lot of work for his brothers as well.
Of course, the one who had come up with this plan was none other than Gu Huainan.
Gu Huainan was the CEO who had managed the Gu Group for several years. He was well aware of the weaknesses and shortcomings of the Gu Group. It was as if he knew what he had on him.
With him acting as the compass, the secret attacks of the brothers had also stabbed Gu Jingjie's sore spot.
Other than being angry, what else could Gu Jingjie do?
It wasn't that he hadn't suspected Gu Huainan before, but Gu Huainan had behaved crazily to the public. He was still a 'retarded child'.
Gu Huainan wasn't a fool. It hadn't been easy for his brothers to attract Gu Jingjie's attention. No matter how stupid he was, would he just go up and tell Gu Jingjie that he had recovered?
Ever since the incident with Gu Huainan, Gu Dong's betrayal only made things worse for the Gu Group. With the addition of the secret attacks from his brothers, Gu Jingjie was even more at a loss for words.
"Dammit, who the hell is behind this!?"
Gu Jingjie's exasperated voice came from the office as he ruthlessly smashed the cup on the floor.
