In a blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
Yi Bo and his friends had been living a life like a fugitive for more than half a year and felt exhausted and didn't want to go on like this any longer.
"When will these days of hiding from place to place end?" Zhao Zhen looked very haggard. No one would look good after half a year of not eating well or sleeping well, living in fear and hiding from place to place.
"Yes," Yi Hong sighed and said, "It's not a solution to go on like this. Life like this is too unbearable."
In fact, they had been found twice before, but Yi Bo had said during the negotiation with Mr. Xu that if anything happened to him or his family, the event would be sent to Gu Yueshan on a scheduled basis, because no one except him could modify the time, so even if the Xu and Jiang families found them, they would not dare to act rashly. The reason why their family had to keep running and hiding was because they were worried that the Xu family and the Jiang family would retaliate against them immediately after they found out that Gu Yueshan already knew about the incident.
But they have been hiding for more than half a year, and there is no movement in the country. Yi Hong guessed: "Could it be that Yi Wei did not tell Director Gu about this matter? Otherwise, it is impossible that there is no movement in the country."
"Would he hide something like this?" Yi Bo said, grabbing his hair. "But it is indeed possible. After all, we can never guess what Yi Wei is thinking, nor can we predict what he will do. Maybe he made some kind of deal with the Xu family or the Jiang family and deliberately hid it from Director Gu."
"What should we do next?" Zhao Zhen asked.
"If that's really the case... then I'll go talk to Mr. Gu in person." Yi Bo said.
"This is too risky. It would be safer for us not to return to China right now." Yi Hong was worried and did not quite agree with Yi Bo's idea.
"Now we can only take risks. Maybe we can negotiate terms with Director Gu. If he agrees to protect us, I will give him the evidence." Yi Bo grabbed his hair in annoyance and said, "We should have done this from the beginning..."
When Yi Bo was feeling annoyed, he suddenly thought that if Yi Wei had not handed the evidence to Gu Yueshan, then he might have really made a deal with the Xu family and the Jiang family. He could take this opportunity to expose him in front of Gu Yueshan, which could be regarded as revenge on him.
After Yi Bo made the decision, he immediately booked a plane ticket and started packing to return home. Because they had been hiding from place to place, they didn't actually have much stuff, so they packed up quickly and drove to the airport.
On the way to the airport, Zhao Zhen, because of the anxiety caused by hiding during this period, kept looking back, and then found that there was a car following them.
"There's a car following us!" Zhao Zhen said nervously.
Yi Bo looked at the rearview mirror outside the car window, then sped up, trying to get away from the car behind him.
In order to shake off the car following them, Yi Bo deliberately took a detour. However, as he was too nervous and had to look back while driving, Yi Bo did not immediately notice the car suddenly coming around the bend in front of him.
"Yi Bo! Car! Car!" Zhao Zhen screamed in fright.
Yi Bo immediately turned the steering wheel quickly, and without having time to brake, he crashed into the wall of a restaurant on the side of the road.
"ah!!"
Zhao Zhen's scream stopped after a loud bang.
………………………………
Back home, the Xu and Jiang families finally fell into the trap set for them by Gu Yueshan, and by the time they noticed it, it was already too late.
Mr. Xu and Mr. Jiang also knew that Gu Yueshan would start arranging these things so early, and it must be that Yi Bo had already given him the evidence.
After learning what had happened, Xu Hua fainted again. He almost died from the severe shock, but fortunately he was rushed to the hospital in time and was rescued. When she was still receiving treatment in the hospital, her eldest brother came to beg her to go with him to ask Gu Yueshan to let the Xu family go this time.
Xu Hua could only go with him to see Gu Yueshan in a wheelchair.
Gu Yueshan and Yi Wei were waiting for them. After they arrived, they were ready to listen to Mr. Xu’s personal account of everything that happened that year and the reasons why they kidnapped Gu Yueshan.
Back then, because Gu Yueshan was raised by his grandfather, he was not very close to his biological mother Xu Hua, let alone the Xu family. So Grandpa Xu and the other Xu family members were very worried that after Gu Yueshan inherited the Gu family's business, he might not be biased towards the Xu family. So Grandpa Xu wanted to direct and act out the kidnapping of Gu Yueshan, and then the Xu family would pretend to do their best to rescue Gu Yueshan. In this way, Gu Yueshan would naturally be grateful to the Xu family.
But something went wrong in the middle, because Gu Yuechuan knew about this and told his father-in-law, Mr. Jiang. Then Mr. Jiang also wanted to participate in Mr. Xu's plan and wanted to "rescue" Gu Yueshan together with the Xu family. Mr. Xu thought that since Mr. Jiang already knew about it, it would be safer for the Xu family to let him participate, so he agreed.
The reason why Gu Yuechuan told the Jiang family about this matter was actually that he had other plans. He had originally planned to expose the Xu and Jiang families after they kidnapped Gu Yueshan, so that his grandfather would definitely not let the Xu and Jiang families go, and he could divorce Jiang Shuqin and marry the woman he truly loved, because it was Jiang Shuqin who insisted on marrying him, and Xu Hua and Old Man Xu also forced him to marry Jiang Shuqin, so he hated the Jiang and Xu families and also hated Xu Hua. But he didn't know that the Jiang family had planted people around him, his intentions were exposed, and not long after, he and his lover died in a car accident.
In order to avoid being discovered by Gu Yueshan's grandfather, they looked for the real kidnapper who would not release the person without money. However, later, Mr. Xu and Mr. Jiang had a dispute over who should send someone to rescue Gu Yueshan first, which delayed the time for rescuing Gu Yueshan. Gu Yueshan found an opportunity to escape, but failed, which led to what happened later.
After listening to this, Yi Wei closed his eyes, feeling extremely angry. None of these people was worthy of forgiveness, whether it was Mr. Xu, Mr. Jiang, or Gu Yuechuan. Their original purpose might not have been to hurt Gu Yueshan, but because of their own selfishness, they almost caused Gu Yueshan's death, and also caused Gu Yueshan to suffer from a split personality and an ever-present crisis.
Gu Yueshan was also very angry, but he remained calm. He looked at Xu Hua and asked, "Do you know about these things?"
Yi Wei also immediately looked at Xu Hua, carefully observing her expression to see if she was lying.
"I don't know." Xu Hua shook his head weakly and said, "I really don't know. If I knew, I would never allow them to do this."
"I can swear to God that your mother really knows nothing about it." said Mr. Xu.
Xu Hua was indeed unaware of the situation. Even a tiger does not eat its own cubs. Xu Hua was not so cruel as to have such thoughts about her own son. Moreover, she was hoping that Gu Yueshan could inherit the Gu family business as soon as possible so that she could suppress Ye Feng. If she knew what they had done, she would never agree.
Yi Wei also saw that Xu Hua and Old Man Xu were not lying, and he felt a little relieved, because if even Gu Yueshan's biological mother was involved in this matter, it would be too cruel for Gu Yueshan.
However, although Xu Hua was unaware of it, it could not change the fact that Gu Yuechuan was also involved in this matter. Even if there is no such thing as a son paying for his father's debts in modern society, it will be difficult for Gu Heng to gain a foothold in the Gu family in the future.
"Are you here to plead for them?" Gu Yueshan asked Xu Hua expressionlessly.
Xu Hua hadn't seen Gu Yueshan for several months. She felt that Gu Yueshan seemed a little different from before, but she couldn't tell what the difference was. She did want to plead for him, but after listening to the whole process, she knew very well that no matter how much she pleaded, it would be useless and would only make Gu Yueshan more angry.
Xu Hua sighed and shook his head, saying, "I have nothing more to say. Do whatever you want. These are what they owe you."
Old Master Xu immediately turned his head nervously and looked at Xu Hua with a look for help.
"Then you can leave." Gu Yueshan said.
Xu Hua glanced at Old Man Xu. She opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing. She raised her hand to signal the maid to push her away.
"Second sister...Second sister!" Old Master Xu shouted loudly.
Xu Hua seemed not to have heard anything and did not make any response. She looked much older than before and her hair was much whiter. She used to look well-maintained, but now she looked like a really white-haired old lady.
Xu Hua thought with cloudy and lifeless eyes, what had she gained and lost in her life? What is the meaning of all this? In the end, everything she expected was in vain, and what she wanted to see would never be seen again. Perhaps from the very beginning, everything she did, thought, and expected was wrong, so the current result was destined.
Xu Hua slowly closed his eyes, tears rolled down his cheeks, and his mind was no longer filled with any thoughts.
When Mr. Xu saw Xu Hua leaving, he could only plead with Gu Yueshan and put all the blame on the Jiang family. Gu Yueshan calmed him down for the time being and planned to slowly deal with the Xu family after dealing with the Jiang family.
