Ye Yuzhen glared at Pei Yuanshao: "Speak, what is your purpose in coming to us today?"

Pei Yuanshao lowered his eyes slightly, making it impossible to discern the emotions in them.

Ye Yuzhen felt that this kid, like Gu Jueye, was a wolf cub with a very deep mind.

Working with this kind of person presents both risks and opportunities.

Therefore, you should still choose carefully.

Pei Yuanshao said, "As everyone knows, Gu Jueye is ostensibly an internationally renowned biologist, but in reality, he has secretly established a gene recombination base. I want to obtain the right to use that base."

Gu Tingjun and Ye Yuzhen were unaware of the nature of Gu Jueye's work.

All they knew was that Gu Jueye was a cell biology researcher who spent most of his time locked in the lab doing research.

Ye Yuzhen asked curiously, "What does the gene recombination base do?"

Pei Yuanshao slowly raised his eyes, his deep, dark pupils filled with a coldness, as unfathomable as the deep sea.

"Gene recombination, as the name suggests, is the fusion of human genes with the genes of a certain type of organism to create a new genetic species, such as a superhuman."

Upon hearing the words "superhuman," Gu Tingjun felt that they were too far removed from his own life.

However, he had also seen similar reports online.

It is said that there are people with special abilities all over the world. These people can use their thoughts to manipulate things in the material world, thereby achieving a certain degree of aggression.

Some highly capable individuals with special abilities can even manipulate the minds of ordinary people through their consciousness, causing them to commit suicide.

Similar cases are occasionally reported internationally, but whether they are true or not is unknown.

In fact, the country also has similar secret research bureaus, like Bureau A.

Gu Tingjun asked, "How do you want to cooperate?"

"Currently, apart from the direct line of the sixth branch, the second branch is the strongest among all the branches. Second Brother probably doesn't want to be subservient to others and work like a slave forever, right?"

"What do you mean? Do you intend to help me?"

"Second Brother, I've come to see you with the utmost sincerity."

Gu Tingjun frowned, puzzled.

"Why are you helping me? Have you fallen out with your father's side?"

Pei Yuanshao sneered: "I have lived for 29 years and have never had a father, nor will I ever have one in the future."

Gu Tingjun understood.

This kid wants revenge on Gu Zhizhou for abandoning his wife and children back then.

So he wanted to join forces with me to eliminate the Sixth Branch, but this kid doesn't seem like someone to be trifled with. Can we trust what he says?

"You really don't covet the Gu family's wealth? Is it just for Gu Jueye's laboratory?"

"I only want Gu Jueye's gene laboratory. As for the Gu family's assets, I have no interest in them. However, if my second brother wants to cooperate with me in business later, I would be happy to see it happen."

Gu Tingjun pursed his lips, lost in thought.

He was tempted, but he also felt a vague sense of unease.

If he ultimately fails, he will have completely offended the Sixth Branch of the family.

While Sixth Master was still alive, he had witnessed Sixth Master's ruthless methods since he was a child.

According to the rules left by the Gu family ancestors, if brothers turn against each other or have rebellious intentions, they will be expelled from the family and will have no further connection with the Gu family.

The temptation is great, but the risks are even greater.

I hesitated for a moment.

Ye Yuzhen anxiously winked at him repeatedly, but Gu Tingjun didn't look at her.

She said to Pei Yuanshao, "This is such a big matter, let's discuss it again."

Pei Yuanshao slowly stood up and straightened his collar.

Their gazes shifted to Gu Tingjun.

"Second brother, did you know that the real boss behind FK is Gu Jueye?"

"Isn't Jiangnan Yan the boss of FK?"

Pei Yuanshao chuckled: "Hehe, if the Jiang family really controls FK, why is Jiang Nanyan so subservient to Gu Jueye?"

Over the past decade, FK has created one miracle after another, successfully building an unshakeable business empire from an emerging industry. Although the Jiang family owns half of the shares, the real controller is Gu Jueye.

All major investments must be approved by Gu Jueye before they can be implemented.

Upon hearing this news, Gu Tingjun was shocked. The seventh brother was actually the mastermind behind FK.

How could such a big thing happen to no one in the entire Gu family?

“FK has been established for 12 years. At that time, Lao Qi was only 15 years old. My God, he actually secretly founded his own company at the age of 15?” Ye Yuzhen opened her mouth in astonishment.

Although she had long known that the seventh son was the most outstanding descendant of the Gu family, she never expected that he would not only achieve such brilliant results in biology, but also build such a large business empire.

No wonder Jiang Nanyan always followed him around, and the old master of the Jiang family doted on him even more.

So that's the reason.

Ye Yuzhen shook her head inwardly.

They say that heaven is jealous of beautiful women, but I never thought that heaven would be jealous of geniuses as well.

People who are too clever often die young.

After Pei Shaoyuan left

Ye Yuzhen pulled Gu Tingjun to the study.

“I think we can cooperate with him on this!” Ye Yuzhen’s eyes gleamed.

Gu Tingjun walked to the chair and sat down, looking thoughtful, still without making a decision.

"What if Seventh Brother isn't dead? If we side with Pei Yuanshao, when Seventh Brother comes back, given his personality, he definitely won't let us off easily."

Pei Yuanshao's offer was indeed tempting, but he was genuinely wary of Lao Qi's methods.

That young man looks young, but he's cunning and ruthless, and he doesn't care about his own family.
