Chapter 272 Investigating the Truth Regardless of the Consequences
On the other side, Gu Bin was taken away, but he was finally released today.
Gu Jianguo was heartbroken; this was his only son.
It would be terrible if anything went wrong.
Gu Jianguo had watched helplessly as his son was taken away, but because his company was also in trouble, he had no time to worry about his son.
I still feel a little guilty.
"Son, are you alright? Did they do anything to you?"
At this point, Gu Jianguo's concern was not very sincere to Gu Bin.
He scoffed, "It's nothing."
His eyes were full of hostility.
They ignored me before, so what's the point of saying all this now?
Seeing this, Gu Jianguo knew that his son was angry, so he couldn't help but try to appease him, saying, "Son, don't blame your father. What will we do if our family business is gone?"
"Although you suffered inside, you are still healthy, and the company is fine for the time being. Isn't this a win-win situation?"
If Gu Bin could listen to reason at this moment, he wouldn't be a spoiled brat.
But he could clearly see his father's doting on him, so his temper flared up instantly.
It was all utter nonsense.
"Am I less important than the company? What if I get beaten up if I go in? Do you know what kind of life I've been living these past few days? Don't you even think of any solutions?"
"How could I have a father like you? You've gone too far!"
Gu Jianguo was also a little angry. He had already been so humble and coaxing his son, why was it still not over?
"Alright, let's leave it at that. But we need to figure out a way to bring Gu Youran's company over."
If they don't merge Gu Youran's company into their own, their Gu family's company might collapse.
“She dared to have me thrown out of the company before, I will never let her get away with it.”
Gu Bin felt angry just thinking about it and wanted to teach Gu Youran a lesson.
He and his father were about to leave when Li Huaijin suddenly appeared and took him away.
You bitch!
I don't know what he said in front of these young masters of noble families, but it made him lose face completely.
“Good son, we need to think this through carefully. We can’t act rashly, or we’ll come out worse off.”
Gu Jianguo's words made sense, but Gu Bin was very unwilling: "Then what should we do?"
The thought that Gu Youran had been living a glamorous life outside all these years made him very unhappy and resentful.
Why should I?!
Gu Jianguo snorted coldly. He had already come up with a good idea. No matter what, he was still Gu Youran's biological father. Gu Youran could never get rid of him because of that.
I'm preparing to...
Gu Bin was overjoyed when he heard about the plan; he could only say that his father loved him the most.
Gu Youran, just you wait.
I'll make you wish you were dead!

After undergoing emergency treatment, Liang Hai finally regained consciousness in the hospital. However, the news of his recovery did not leak out, and many people were unaware of it.
Gu Hancheng and Gu Yulin sat in front of him. The three of them looked at each other and Liang Ran was the first to give in.
“I’ve already walked through the gates of hell. Ask me whatever you want, and I’ll tell you everything I know.”
Even he himself did not expect that he would survive after taking poison.
He thought his life was about to end there.
He may have experienced death, and that feeling was suffocating. He didn't want to go through it again. He didn't kill anyone or do anything to betray the country, so he should be able to confess and receive leniency.
"What do you mean by telling Weiwei that my third brother didn't commit suicide?"
Liang Ran knew they were going to ask this question. He sighed and slowly said, "I found out by accident. Gu Hanchi wanted to die. Before he died, he even tried to persuade Old Wang to stop. I just didn't expect... he would be killed by someone."
Gu Hancheng frowned even more: "You mean, my third brother was killed by Old Wang?"
"I only know one thing: the so-called treason is related to your brother; I'm the innocent one..."
Now, both Gu Hancheng and Gu Yulin could no longer sit still.
Gu Yulin became even more agitated. He rushed up to Liang Hai, grabbed him by the collar, and said, "You're really vicious! How could you say such a thing? How could anyone from the Gu family betray the country!"
That's nonsense.
Seeing his anger and embarrassment, Liang Hai didn't say anything, but felt a slight sense of death: "I've already experienced life and death, would I lie to you about this?"
"you....."
"If you want to investigate, then investigate yourselves. Anyway, the person is already dead. Does it really matter whether the truth is true or not?"
Liang Hai continued, "Old Wang's life or death is just a matter of your decision, there's no need to investigate too thoroughly."
"Perhaps, we can still preserve some dignity."
Gu Hancheng also stood up angrily. His third brother, even if he really killed someone, could never betray the country, never!
"I will definitely investigate what you said. I will not let a bad person go unpunished, nor will I wrong anyone."
"if....."
He didn't even dare to think about it, not even in the worst-case scenario.
Liang Hai glanced at Gu Hancheng indifferently and said in a flat tone, "Suit yourself. Now, can you let your good nephew let go of me?"
Gu Yulin then realized: "If you dare to lie to me about this, I will never let you get away with it!"
Did my third uncle betray the country?
That's impossible.
This person is definitely lying; they want to drag them down with them if they don't want to die.
That's outrageous!
"It doesn't matter. I've already died once, so whether what I say is true or false is up to you to decide."
Liang Hai didn't say much.
But he also added, "I'll say it again, I'm not a traitor. I just sold some of my company's R&D patents to Lao Wang, that's all."
He was also puzzled. Suddenly, rumors spread that he was a traitor, causing him to run around in circles. If it weren't for Old Wang's plan to kill him, he wouldn't have taken the risk of coming back to kidnap Luo Zhiwei for money.
I never expected... I'd be arrested, and then poisoned...
Is there anyone worse off than him?
Anyway, let him be like this for now, and leave the rest to them.
He admitted to the kidnapping.
But how many years can he be sentenced to?
Gu Hancheng looked at him coldly: "You'd better stay here and wait until you recover. We'll make a judgment on your kidnapping case."

When Gu Hancheng got home, he told his grandfather about it. The grandfather was furious and kept banging his cane on the ground: "Gu Hancheng, are you out of your mind?!"
"Can't you even tell that's such a lame excuse?"
His carefully nurtured son might make mistakes due to emotional distress, but he would never do anything to betray the country.
Gu Hancheng naturally knew that no child from the Gu family would ever betray their country.
There must be some misunderstanding here.
He needs to investigate thoroughly, whether it's to clear Gu Jia's name or to clear Lao San's name, he needs to investigate.
“Dad, I know, but since Liang Ran brought this up, we need to investigate,” Gu Hancheng said with a serious expression.
"Investigate! Investigate to the end! I will not let anyone who dares to mess with the Gu family in this matter get away with it!"
Old Master Gu was sharp and imposing, his aura even more chilling: "You two remember this: the Gu family has served the country for generations. Anyone who betrays the country, whether dead or alive, will be expelled from the Gu family."
He looked at Gu Yulin: "Go interrogate Old Wang about your third uncle's matter, regardless of the consequences. I need to know the answer."
"Yes, I'll go now."
