Facing Lu Anning's questioning, Gu Zhiwei did not get angry but laughed instead.
"Even if it was your eldest brother, he wouldn't have the guts to speak to me in such a tone. Ayue, how dare you? Do you really think that just because you have a few shares, you have the ability to challenge me? Go back obediently. Children shouldn't ask questions about adult matters."
"That's my mother. I have the right to know the real cause of her death."
Gu Zhiwei remained unmoved: "Remember! You only have one mother, and she's staying at the Gu family now. Besides that, I don't want to hear any other inappropriate voices. Don't think that just because you're my long-lost daughter, you can challenge my bottom line again and again. If I really want to touch you, this kid may not be able to protect me."
Sensing the dangerous aura coming from the side, Gu Zhiwei remained indifferent.
"Young Master San, don't look at me like that. I'm telling the truth. Back then, just as I was able to make you disappear for over twenty years before returning to the Gu family, now, I can also make you disappear quietly in Kyoto. What the Gu family needs is a well-behaved and obedient Fifth Young Lady. Do you understand?"
A cold palm slapped Lu Anning's shoulder, and the powerful aura from the superior made Lu Anning breathless.
She was completely shocked by Gu Zhiwei's words, and a terrible thought flashed through her mind.
Could it be...
She staggered and took a half step back, and was supported by Tang Jingyuan.
Gu Zhiwei was very satisfied with Lu Anning's reaction and his smile deepened.
"You're all smart kids. I'm telling you one last time: Don't investigate further. The consequences are beyond your ability to bear. Ayue, ask yourself, is there really nothing in this world that you care about?"
His eyes wandered, sometimes looking behind Lu An Ning.
Lu Anning's face turned pale. He understood the implication in his words and felt a fear he had never felt before.
"Do you think you can dominate the world in Kyoto?"
"We'll know if it's possible after we give it a try. The question is, can you afford the gamble? Since you're so capable, you might as well find out what I did before I took over the family business. If you really can't find out, you can always ask your second brother where he learned all these skills."
Lu Anning was full of doubts, and in the end he could only watch Gu Zhiwei get in the car and leave.
Gu Zhiwei's cold and majestic voice came from the car: "Aunt Li is an elder of the Gu family. If you don't like her, ask her to report back to the Gu family tomorrow."
With just a few words, everything was exposed.
Lu Anning quickly followed. At the alley entrance, she watched the black Cullinan disappear into the night and regretted her hesitation.
She should be more decisive!
"Ningning, it's useless. You just saw it. Even if we caught him, he remained indifferent. He even had a perfect explanation in mind."
"But he clearly sent Aunt Li to monitor me. He's trying hard to cover up what happened back then. There must be some unknown secret. Maybe it's directly related to my mother's death."
"He won't admit it. Didn't you hear the threat in his words just now?"
"I'm not afraid!"
"But I'm afraid."
Tang Jingyuan suddenly hugged the person in front of him tightly. He had seen too much cruelty in human nature, especially seeing Gu Zhiwei's appearance today, he dared not take any risks.
For over twenty years, he had been searching intently. Given his strength, how could he allow his child to wander around for so many years? If Lu Yunxi hadn't taken the initiative to find the Shanggu family, Lu Anning didn't know when he would have known his own life story.
Judging from Gu Zhiwei's attitude just now, he obviously knew all this and allowed it to happen.
It can be seen that peace is dispensable to him.
If An Ning's actions affected Gu Zhiwei's interests, he couldn't guarantee that Gu Zhiwei, as a father, would not harm his own daughter.
Just now, when he left, he seemed to have seen through what Lu An Ning was concerned about.
When such a person goes crazy, blood ties mean nothing to him.
He can't joke about An Ning's safety!
"I can't let anything happen to you again. I was scared when I fell into the sea, and before that I almost fell from the building. I don't want to worry anymore."
Tang Jingyuan sighed deeply: "Sometimes, I don't know what to do to protect you."
Lu Anning took a deep breath, understood the worry in Tang Jingyuan's words, and took the initiative to hug him.
"Go home!"
Under the streetlights, two slender shadows walked hand in hand toward the brighter light. At the corner, unseen, a dark gray commercial vehicle parked in the shadows. Through the darkened windows, a pair of eyes stared directly in the direction the two had left, their expressions complex.
Everything that happened in the alley just now was seen by the people in the car.
It was not until the people got into the car and completely disappeared into the night that a cold female voice was heard from inside the car.
"Walk!"
She lowered her head and realized that in just a few minutes, pinch marks had appeared on the palms of her hands.
The woman dialed the number: "Get ready. I want Gu Zhiwei to bleed some money in the overseas stock market tonight."
The light passed over the woman's face, and a bloodthirsty smile flashed across her face.
That night, the overseas stock market witnessed a fierce battle between two powerful rivals, a clash of gods. Overnight, the Gu family lost nearly 100 million yuan.
Early in the morning, Gu Zhiwei, with a gloomy face, asked someone to call Gu Yue to come to his study to see him, but was told that Gu Yue had not returned all night. Gu Zhiwei's face darkened several degrees.
