As a newly appointed official, Gu Shao cleaned up his own ranks and uncovered Gu Chen's criminal activities during his tenure.
Gu Chen is embroiled in lawsuits and could potentially lose everything and spend his life in jail.
Yan Jian, being prepared for any eventuality, resorted to both theft and robbery.
Then he got arrested.
It sounds ridiculous and laughable, but like Wang Juan's death, nothing he does would surprise anyone.
While camping, Zhou Sheng said, "Gu Shao's ruthless attitude is somewhat similar to Yan Can's."
After leaving the Yan family, Yan Can slaughtered his entire clan; one died, and two others awaited their fate.
After returning to his wealthy family, Young Master Gu went on a killing spree, driving out Gu Chen and sending Old Gu to the ICU.
As soon as Zhou Sheng finished speaking, he felt a strong killing intent descend upon him.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, He Yu quickly said, "How can Young Master Gu be compared with Yan Can? His 'achievements' are too exaggerated. The downfall of the Gu family was clearly due to Yan Can's schemes and Young Master Zong's power."
Wang Yue also realized what was happening, and quickly made a few sarcastic remarks about Gu Shao, while subtly praising Yan Can and Zong Lian.
This is not because they are flattering them.
That's the truth.
Without Yan Can's scheme and Zong Shao's suppression and dismantling of the Gu Group, even if Gu Shao were ruthless, he could only anger the Gu family members to the point of fainting, while the Gu Group would not be affected in any way.
Now, however, the entire Gu Group is on the verge of collapse.
This is the most devastating blow to the Gu family.
Zhou Sheng coughed and promptly corrected his mistake under Zong Lian's death stare.
"I was wrong, cousin. I shouldn't have compared Young Master Gu to Yan Can."
"They don't look alike at all!"
Zong Lian gave a lukewarm "hmm".
"My tent is all set up, what are you guys still doing?"
Yan Can's voice came from inside the tent, sounding muffled. Zong Lian immediately got up and went over.
Zhou Sheng breathed a sigh of relief after he had walked away.
"That scared me to death."
His cronies mocked him online.
"Serves you right!"
"If you want to die, next time you might as well say that Young Master Gu and Yan Can are a perfect match..."
Before the dog friend could finish speaking, Zhou Sheng pounced on him and covered his mouth.
I'm begging you.
"Stop adding fuel to the fire!"
Buddies: Ha.
The two-day camping trip ended quickly, and Yan Can went back to the examination hall.
The scorching June sun witnessed the battlefield of youth.
Yan Can firmly held the top spot in the joint examinations with his ability to consistently rank first, leaving behind a powerful and high-profile legend of a genius in the academic world.
It was at this juncture that the Gu Group declared bankruptcy.
The war between Gu Chen and Gu Shao is not over yet, but the root of their fierce struggle has already withdrawn from the battlefield.
Of course, this is only how outsiders perceive it.
Gu Shao once told people that he simply wanted to see the Gu family destroyed.
Afterwards, those who paid attention to this matter unanimously labeled him a "madman".
After all, Gu Chen had stepped down, Chairman Gu was in the ICU, and the Gu Group was already in his pocket. Yet he was happy to see the downfall of the Gu Group, and he was even one of the instigators.
...
"Kill him, and I'll give you whatever money you want."
When Gu Chen found Yan Jian, he was disheveled and fighting for food with a group of stray dogs.
Upon hearing the word "money," Yan Jianli immediately displayed a crazed expression.
"I need to see the deposit first!"
"Can."
Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; even if the Gu family goes bankrupt, Gu Chen's personal assets are still a very large sum.
Buy two worthless lives for a pittance.
It's a really good deal.
Yan Jian went crazy for money and had no idea that Gu Chen was killing two birds with one stone.
Young Master Gu deserves to die.
Yan Jian deserves to die too.
But they all underestimated Young Master Gu's skills.
Yan Jian didn't even get close before Gu Shao knocked him to the ground.
"Before accepting the order, didn't you ask about the strength of the target you were supposed to kill? Or did he not say at all?"
Yan Jian wasn't stupid; he immediately understood what Young Master Gu meant.
Gu Chen wanted him dead.
Yan Can's words came true again.
But he just wouldn't!
Even if he dies, he'll take people with him.
Young Master Gu: "I'll give you double the money, go do what you want."
Yan Jian asked him why.
Gu Shao said, "Because I have money."
Yan Jian: "..."
These damn rich people!
But no matter whether he has money or not, he won't let Gu Chen go.
But before Yan Jian could approach Gu Chen, Yan Can approached him first.
"Where are you going? To kill someone?"
Yan Can was still the same; even though they hadn't seen each other for a long time, she knew everything he had ever done.
“Look me in the eyes.”
Yan Can's words were like a divine revelation, forcing Yan Jian to raise his head.
"Aren't you curious?"
"Do you think I'm possessed by a ghost?"
These words startled Yan Jian at first, then he realized what she was talking about.
"Being curious is a good thing."
"Because I am not your poor daughter Yan Can. She is long dead, and I am the judge who came to avenge her."
Yan Jian was completely stunned.
His face was deathly pale, his nerves were on edge, his scalp tingled, and his whole body was ice cold.
He clearly believed Yan Can's words.
He couldn't possibly not believe it.
He knew better than anyone what Yan Can was like, the one who had almost been beaten to death by him many times.
He knew better than anyone what Yan Can, who had nearly killed him many times, was like.
"Don't be so tense, relax."
"I'm not going to kill you right now."
Yan Can smiled gently and said something while looking at Yan Jian's shocked gaze.
"Go do what you want to do, I'll be here waiting for you."
