In fact, not only Meimei, but also Second Master Gu, the old master, and Gu Beiwang, the eldest uncle, all had angry expressions on their faces.

I thought those people wouldn't dare treat me like that, but in fact... ha, if that's the case, then you were the ones who were heartless first.

Snap!

The old man slammed his hand on the table in anger, shouting, "Looking north, facing north!"

"Dad, what is it?"

Gu Beichao also looked at his father, waiting for him to continue.

The old man spent most of his life on the battlefield, so his military and bandit mentality was definitely strong.

"From now on, investigate those people thoroughly. I'm personally giving you authority; you can access their files as you please."

hiss.

The consequences of the old man's words were already predictable.

Throughout history, who among those who hold official positions, regardless of rank, can be truly clean and honest?

The old man's deliberate delegation of power is determined to stir up the waters, and no one can escape unscathed!

It's strange, those people just asked for it.

Commander Gu and his second uncle naturally had no objections. Once the privileges were granted, things that could not be investigated beyond their authority before could now be investigated upon request. It could be said that there were only benefits and no drawbacks.

This incident, along with the Su family's affair, will likely lead to a complete reshuffling of the entire Kyoto landscape once the investigation is complete.

However, this is for the best.

The cycle of division and unification is a natural phenomenon.

It's time for a reshuffle!

Otherwise, some people can't see their own place and fantasize about things that are impossible.

Little did they know that such wonderful things could not be obtained by mere wishful thinking; they required a combination of favorable timing, location, and human factors.

They may be deliberately ignoring the principle that water overflows when it is full.

The Gu brothers exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's meaning, and then smiled at each other.

How could brothers who grew up together not understand each other's meaning?

They're a bunch of old foxes, each one secretly plotting something.

Well, to be precise, it's those people who should be feeling nervous and uneasy now.

Meimei's mood finally calmed down, and she let go of his hand: "Son, come on, let's go back and wash up properly. Mom has prepared some mugwort leaves, you can use them later."

Mugwort?

Well, this guy's gotten superstitious.

Gu Ziling's lips twitched a few times, but seeing her mother's expression, she couldn't bear to refuse and nodded in agreement.

"good!"

It's just a brazier with mugwort leaves; stepping over it won't cost you any meat.

The most important thing is to put my mother's mind at ease.

How could a son not understand his mother's anxiety during this time?

Therefore, we should try our best to comfort her now, so as not to make her too anxious and cause her any problems.

It's really not worth getting sick over a few petty scoundrels.

"By the way, where are my brother and sister-in-law?"

Meimei wiped the tears from her face with her hand: "She went to headquarters."

When the Ye father and son left, the young couple followed, probably to discuss something.

indeed.

At this very moment, in the Chief of Staff's office at headquarters.

"Chief of Staff Ye, what exactly are you thinking?"

"What do you mean, what do you think?" Ye Yutang, sitting in his office chair, was almost stiff with laughter as his daughter questioned him.

Ye Wanying glanced at it and said, "Of course, it's about Aunt Zheng..."

cough.

Who else could it be besides her own mother?

Okay, when his wife was mentioned, Chief of Staff Ye's stiff smile instantly turned into a silly grin: "Um, what happened to your mother?"

Hehe, what else?

"The time is ripe. Are you sure you don't want to take him down?"
