The next moment, he was angrily retorted by the Gu family's grandparents, "We have nothing to do with you. Your Xu family is so powerful that you have become brothers with the lower five families. If you want to become the lower five families, you will become our enemy."
When mentioning the Lower Five Clan, Ke Gongde instinctively brought up his backers, "I'm from the Lower Five Clan, not an enemy spy. You can't just accuse me of something just because we're enemies. I had an affair with Fu Xiangling, I admit it. I framed Gu Wanwan and Fu Jingchen purely because I couldn't stand their arrogance, not because I was an enemy spy..."
"Right now, the Upper Five Clan is in its heyday, and the Upper Five Clan is severely weakened. If you deal with me, the Lower Five Clan will not let it go."
He naively thought that if he brought up the Lower Five Eunuchs, Gu Wanwan and the others would be quite afraid.
As long as they don't define him as an enemy spy and don't eat peanuts immediately, the following five powerful families will have no problem getting him out.
When he comes out later, he is a brave man again, and he can continue to fight against the crazy husband and wife.
He had underestimated Sister Wan and Brother Chen's intelligence when he heard Gu Wanwan say in a resounding voice, "I have reason to suspect that the lower five families have been infiltrated by enemy spies. They are evil and stirring up trouble. Can I report it to the special authorities for a thorough investigation? They'll definitely dig up something."
Fu Jingchen's half-smiley eyes fell especially on Ke Gongde and Li Wute. "My wife has a point. This isn't just a struggle between two families. Someone wants to disintegrate from within. We can't rule out the possibility of many enemy spies lurking around us. For example, Xu Luoxue's Xu family is very suspicious. Another example is Gu Yarou's second wife. It's because they colluded with the lower five families to frame the Gu family's grandparents for being demoted, so they could take power and become officials themselves. Later, they continued to infiltrate our upper five families. Think about it carefully."
Gu Yarou saw that they were getting more and more excited and talking too much, which was too outrageous. She had no memory of any enemy spies infiltrating the Lower Five Family before. It was obvious that Gu Wanwan was maliciously destroying the reputation of the Lower Five Family and using this to suppress her, the lucky girl.
Everyone in Beijing knows that Gu Yarou is a guest of honor of the Xiawu family. If something happens to the Xiawu family, can she escape responsibility?
"Wanwan, you misunderstood me. I simply wanted to mediate the conflict between our families."
Xu Luoxue felt confident when she heard this. "We are contributing to the peace between the upper and lower families. Unlike you, who are making unreasonable demands and causing deeper conflicts within the family, we are doing this for the good of the Gu family."
Gu Peichuan sneered, "You helped the Wu family to frame my grandparents and send them down, causing the separation of my brothers and sisters in the Gu family. You abused my sister and brother, and took over my Gu family. This is all for the good of my Gu family. Thank you. Do you want this kind of good for you? Anyway, I don't want it!"
He Shuyan wanted to help explain, but was stopped by his brother with a look. His brother told him not to get involved. Could it be that even his brother suspected that Yarou and Xu Luoxue's family had ulterior motives?
Ke Gongde's expression was torn. He was not able to accomplish anything but made more trouble than success. He failed to intimidate the crazy couple and instead dragged the next five families into trouble.
Honestly speaking, the internal situation of the Lower Five Clan was not that simple. He had never expected that Gu Wanwan would hit the nail on the head and reveal the deepest secrets of the Lower Five Clan.
Li Wute was in a dilemma. Now, the power of the Red Flag Commune had been eliminated and only he was left. If Ke Gongde was handed over to the special department, it would be impossible for him not to spit out something. He was worried that the secrets in the mountains and forests of Qingshan Village would soon be exposed.
"Ke Gongde, you are such a mean person! You instigated us to insult Gu Zhiqing and Captain Fu. I, Li Wute, really misjudged you. How could you knowingly break the law and get Fu Xiangling pregnant? You are hopeless. A scourge like you deserves to be fed peanuts. I hope Director Sheng will punish you and will not let Ke Gongde off!"
He spoke righteously, accusing Ke Gongde of crimes, and completely killed his brother for the sake of justice, which really won the favor of the villagers.
Ke Gongde understood the threat in Li Wute's eyes. The other party meant that he had given up on him and wanted him to find an opportunity to end his life. Only a dead person would not reveal the secrets of the next five families.
