Chapter 250 Making the Maid Confess Everything
The atmosphere at the Gu family home was somber that night, and everyone looked unwell.
Only Luo Zhiwei was coaxed by Lu Jingxiao.
But... Lu Jingxiao's expression wasn't very good either.
Gu Yulin, the heir of the Gu family, shouted sternly, "Tell me, who gave you permission to do this?"
These people seemed to be new faces, and he wasn't very familiar with them.
He then looked at the butler: "When were these people hired?"
The housekeeper was quite frightened. What happened?!
He quickly explained, "I'll stay up all night. These people came in last month. A batch of maids were due for replacement, so... we hired a few new people... these are them."
He still doesn't know what happened, or what problems these maids could possibly have.
The Gu family's work is unique; the maids don't stay long and are replaced every few years. Sometimes, they don't even need to ask the master's opinion.
The housekeeper can make the decisions on his own.
I didn't expect this time...
Have you thoroughly investigated their backgrounds and identities?
The butler exclaimed in shock?
"this...."
Gu Yulin roughly understood that the butler was probably useless, which was why things had turned out this way.
He turned to the timid maids standing there, his eyes sharp and menacing: "You'd better tell the truth, or else..."
"Young Master, we really didn't mean it. We're just not familiar with the rules. Please give us another chance."
"Young Master, we know we were wrong, we really know we were wrong. You can deduct my salary, but please don't fire me."
"I didn't know Miss Luo was the eldest young lady. If I had known..."
If she had known, she wouldn't have done it.
"Since you still refuse to admit your mistakes, then you will all be expelled."
The Gu family doesn't need such a disloyal maid. Regardless of whether Weiwei is a member of the Gu family or not, even if she is a guest, she shouldn't be treated like this.
If Lu Jingxiao hadn't been nearby, things might have really gone wrong.
How dare these people?
They actually set their sights on Weiwei.
Old Master Gu's face darkened, and he glared at Gu Yulin with a sinister look: "You think that's enough?"
Expelled?
That would be too easy on them.
It hasn't been long, and these people have already come knocking on our door.
If we let this go so easily, then not just anyone can interfere in the Gu family business in the future.
Gu Yulin nodded slightly, probably understanding what the old man wanted to do, and immediately said, "I understand, Grandpa."
"I just notified my assistant to come over and take everyone away in a bit. I will interrogate them thoroughly."
Grandpa Gu gave a faint "hmm": "This matter must be thoroughly investigated. Are you just going to let it go so easily? Is this the method of your heir?"
Gu Yulin: "......"
I feel like I'm getting more criticism lately.
It was all these upsetting things that got him scolded. If he didn't vent his anger properly, he wouldn't deserve to be the heir.
"I understand, Grandpa. I will investigate this thoroughly and will not let it end so muddily."
"It's good that you know."
Seeing Gu Yulin being scolded because of her, Luo Zhiwei felt bad and quickly said, "Grandpa, don't blame my brother. This is my fault. I just couldn't hold back. Apart from the one who pulled me, the other two can be dealt with by a little questioning."
People who are truly afraid and panicked about being fired will not actually take action.
Therefore... only those with ulterior motives would try to retaliate against her in a panic.
"Thank you, Miss! Thank you, Miss!"
Another maid, overjoyed, bowed repeatedly to Luo Zhiwei, saying, "I'm willing to cooperate with the investigation. I really didn't mean it, I..."
"I'm willing to do it. I'm just here to work. I was really wrong."
If they had known that Luo Zhiwei wielded so much power in this family, they would never have spoken ill of her behind her back.
Only the maid who intended to push Luo Zhiwei downstairs remained silent.
Gu Yulin coldly ordered, "Take them away, especially her, and interrogate her thoroughly."
The butler looked over in shock, somewhat bewildered: "He Lianyi? How could you... You're usually so efficient at your work, how could you lay a hand on the young lady?"
He Lianyi feigned innocence and looked at the butler: "I don't know either. I didn't say anything, but Miss said she was going to complain to the master. I had no choice..."
"Uncle Butler, you know my family is very poor and I desperately need this job, I..." Unlike the other two who bowed, He Lianyi knelt directly on the ground.
It was as if the Gu family was making things difficult for her, forcing her to kneel down.
The housekeeper was also puzzled. He didn't believe that a hardworking and conscientious person would do something that would damage the reputation of the Gu family.
This isn't just a matter of losing face; it's a slap in the face to the Gu family.
The young lady has just been found and is being treated like this. Who would be satisfied with that?
Gu Yulin, his face cold, leisurely reminded, "Butler, this is not the time for the two of you to reminisce. Take him away!"
The last words weren't spoken to the butler; his assistant happened to walk to the door and was startled.
"yes."
The assistant quickly took the person away without hesitation.
Gu Yulin looked at Luo Zhiwei with apologetic eyes: "Weiwei, it was my fault for not keeping a close eye on the maids, I almost... I'm sorry."
"It's normal for accidents to happen. No one would investigate a maid's background before they've had any contact with her. I'm fine, don't worry about it, brother."
Although she didn't care, she couldn't help but suggest, "Brother, I heard you say before that your family is working for the country, so we should be even more careful about safety. As for hiring a maid... let's be careful together, one person might not be able to handle it all."
Grandpa Gu lowered his head and pondered for a moment before raising his eyes to agree with Luo Zhiwei's point of view: "Weiwei is right, regarding the appointment of maids in the future..."
He looked at Liang Yu: "Daughter-in-law, you and the second son should take good care of things. What happened today must not happen again."
Liang Yu nodded: "I understand."
Even if the old man didn't say anything, she would still do it, all for the safety of her family.
**
After a night of interrogation, Gu Yulin finally got the result.
"President, He Lianyi is Old Wang's woman."
who?
Gu Yulin couldn't immediately recall who Old Wang was.
"who is he?"
assistant:"......"
"He was Third Master's personal butler before his death. He left the Gu family after the seventh day after Third Master's death. I never expected that he would actually arrange for someone to be assigned to the Gu family..."
Gu Yulin then had a vague recollection. He only knew that his third uncle had a private butler, but they rarely had any contact, and he had almost forgotten the butler's name.
But he couldn't understand: "Why put someone in the Gu family?"
"What did the skeleton do to wrong him?"
How could you possibly do something that would betray your master?
Assistant: "...We haven't caught Lao Wang, so we don't know what his purpose is for doing this."
"But I have already sent people to arrest him, and I believe there will be results soon."
This is a top priority for the Gu family, especially since tomorrow is the family reunion banquet, and absolutely no mistakes can be made during this period.
Anyone who tries to undermine the unity of the Gu family must be nipped in the bud.
"I'm only giving you one day. You must catch them. If it affects tomorrow's family reunion banquet, you'll be in for a beating."
Gu Yulin's eyes were very cold; this was how an heir should be: bloodthirsty, serious, and aloof.
"Yes, I will bring the person over as soon as possible."
