Chapter 135 Criticism
Gu Jianjun's heart tightened, and he quickly said, "Dad, there's a misunderstanding. Let me explain. The police have already investigated and found out that it was all Zhu Cuihua's doing. That vicious woman wanted to harm Yan Xiao and the others. I really didn't know anything about it!"
Seeing that he was still trying to deny it, Old Master Gu sneered: "You say you didn't know anything? Then what about the documents Yan Xiao sent a couple of days ago?"
Gu Jianjun's expression changed, and he immediately knelt down and said, "Dad, this matter... is really... I was confused for a moment. I thought that Zhu Cuihua was Yanfeng's mother after all, and if something happened to her, it would also affect Yanfeng, so I kept it a secret. Dad, I was wrong, please forgive me this time!"
If Gu Jianjun had continued to argue, perhaps Old Master Gu would have been even angrier. But now that he had so readily admitted his mistake and explained the reasons, Old Master Gu's anger gradually subsided.
After all, Gu Jianjun's concerns were the same as his own.
All the forbearance and scheming were nothing more than for the sake of the Gu family's reputation.
Unfortunately, the children have grown up and all have their own thoughts now.
He's getting old, and ultimately he can't control them anymore.
"Gu Jianjun, I'm old now, and I can't help you anymore! From now on, don't come to me with your problems again!"
Grandpa Gu sighed deeply, his face full of exhaustion.
She turned and went back to her room.
Gu Jianjun, who was kneeling on the ground, slowly raised his head and watched his unsteady departing figure, a smile slowly curving his lips.
His eyes were full of smugness.
Sure enough, just as he thought, as long as he pinned all the blame on Zhu Cuihua, he could get away unscathed.
The old man has now severed ties with his elder brother's family.
Gu Yanxiao and the others have completely distanced themselves from the Gu family.
Even the most powerful old man nowadays can't bring himself to sever ties with me.
Otherwise, he would be a renowned commander, a general who once dominated the battlefield.
Now that he's old, he doesn't even have any children by his side, so how can he maintain his dignity?
As the old man said, we should never contact Gu Jianjun again regarding his affairs.
These words posed absolutely no threat to Gu Jianjun.
Anyway, as long as he stays in this old house, Grandpa Gu will be the one behind him.
Anyone who wants to deal with him has to think twice.
As for the old man's resources, now the old man only has Gu Yanfeng as his grandson. Who else can enjoy those resources besides Gu Yanfeng?
...
In the military region.
Gu Yanfeng had just finished his closed training and was full of anticipation that he would be able to make a name for himself in the military after the training ended.
This way, those who openly or secretly mocked him for getting to where he is today could see what was going on.
Even without Gu Yanxiao, Gu Yanfeng would definitely be an outstanding talent.
However, what he didn't expect was that when the training was completed, the results were announced, and the certificates of merit were awarded.
One by one, my comrades who trained with me went on to advance.
In the end, it still wasn't his turn.
Gu Yanfeng, who was arrogant and had long ago boasted that he would definitely get good results in this training, felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
He didn't dare to look up, afraid of seeing the mocking looks from his comrades.
Finally, just as the graduation ceremony was drawing to a close, Gu Yanfeng's name was mentioned.
However, as he excitedly raised his head, he realized what Feng Yuanzheng on the podium meant.
criticize?
Criticize him?
Gu Yanfeng stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"Comrade Gu Yanfeng abandoned his comrades and exposed the enemy during the last exercise, resulting in the annihilation of the entire unit..."
Before Division Commander Cai Pengyi could finish speaking, Gu Yanfeng abruptly stood up and said, "Reporting to the commander, this time, there was a real reason for the situation. I didn't know there was a second Blue Team in that exercise..."
"Gu Yanfeng, who gave you permission to interrupt your superior? What about your military discipline?"
Cai Pengyi's face instantly turned extremely ugly. Even a new recruit might not make this kind of mistake, let alone a veteran like Gu Yanfeng, who is a third-generation soldier.
A hint of disdain flashed in Gu Yanfeng's eyes. He was just a division commander; his grandfather was a high-ranking officer.
Give him a few more years, and Cai Pengyi's position might not be as high as Gu Yanfeng's. Why should he act like a superior in front of him?
However, this time, he did act impulsively.
What was originally a highly anticipated reward turned into a public criticism; for anyone, this would be a huge blow.
"I'm sorry, sir. I was just too excited for a moment and lost my composure. Please forgive me." Gu Yanfeng immediately put on a look full of guilt, as if he had truly realized his mistake.
Seeing his reaction, Cai Pengyi, though still angry, said nothing more.
After all, Gu Yanfeng was the grandson of his old boss.
Even if you don't like it, you still have to give your old boss some face.
Thinking of this, he said, "Gu Yanfeng, you said your mistake was because you didn't know there was a second Blue Team, but on the actual battlefield, do you think the enemy would let you know exactly how many of them there are? Besides, you abandoned your comrades..."
Gu Yanfeng lowered his head, listening to Cai Pengyi's wanton criticism of him on the podium, his eyes filled with resentment and malice.
What do you mean he abandoned his comrades? He clearly knew how to assess the situation. The enemy had already been shot and couldn't go far. He used the enemy as a target to lure the enemy away so that he could achieve better results.
These old-fashioned stubborn people simply don't know how to be flexible.
Unfortunately, he dared not say these words aloud again, and could only keep the resentment in his heart.
Finally, the graduation ceremony ended amidst a barrage of criticism and accusations against Gu Yanfeng.
As soon as the meeting was adjourned, Gu Yanfeng left without hesitation, unwilling to linger in this shameful place for even a moment longer.
He wanted to go back to his grandfather and have him teach Cai Pengyi a lesson.
I also want to ask Grandpa to think of a way to erase this criticism from my record, otherwise it will definitely affect my future promotion.
However, to his surprise, he was stopped as soon as he stepped out of the training base.
"Comrade Gu Yanfeng, regarding your previous military merit, the organization has some issues that need to be verified with you. Please come with us."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yanfeng's expression changed instantly. He subconsciously took a step back and stammered, "I don't know what you're talking about. What's your problem? Let me call my family first, and then we'll talk!"
