"Ah—" The old man and woman of the Gu family next to them, as well as Gu Dajun and Gu Da Kui's wife, Fang Dani, all screamed.
When Gu Dajun and Gu Daikui saw that Gu Zhixing was going all out, they also revealed their fierce glints.
Although they weren't very bright after serving in the military for so many years, they were still quite skilled in physical combat.
The two brothers grabbed the stools next to them without a second thought and rushed forward.
Gu Zhixing was facing two opponents alone, so he naturally lost the battle.
Before they knew it, Gu Zhiyuan and Xu Ningyan made their move.
The two seemed to have a tacit understanding; they glanced at each other and then chose their respective targets.
Gu Zhiyuan faced off against Gu Dajun, while Xu Ningyan touched Gu Daikui from behind.
With one kick each, Gu Dajun and Gu Daikui were knocked to the ground.
With one foot, Gu Zhiyuan pinned Gu Dajun to the ground, rendering him unable to move.
After Xu Ningyan kicked Gu Da Kui over, she signaled Gu Zhixing to hit Gu Da Kui in the back, and Gu Da Kui was immediately unable to move.
Qiao Aiyuan, Zhang Yanan, and Fang Dani all screamed and rushed over.
Xu Ningyan rushed into the kitchen, pulled out a knife, and held it to Gu Daikui's neck: "If any of you dare to move, I won't be able to hold this knife properly. It might slip and cut off a foot, an arm, a leg, or something. Don't blame me then—"
Qiao Aiyuan and the others immediately stopped, the whole family looking at Xu Ningyan in horror.
Xu Ningyan gestured to Gu Zhixing: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and avenge your brother! Your brother was attacked by more than a dozen people. He was lacerated on the back of his head and needed two stitches. He also needed about twenty stitches in his arm. If he hadn't been lucky enough to run into a doctor from the provincial capital who had been sent down to the county, his arm would probably be useless! Not to mention the injuries on his body and legs. If I hadn't arrived early and gotten him to the hospital quickly, your brother would probably have bled to death!"
"So, beat him to the same extent your brother was injured!"
Gu Zhixing's eyes were red, and just listening to it made his heart pound with fear, which showed how critical Gu Zhiyuan's situation had been.
Jiang Yuan, being a doctor, knew better than anyone else. Upon hearing Xu Ningyan's words, she immediately pulled Gu Zhixing's arm, rolled up his sleeve, and examined the scar.
Sure enough, on his left arm, he saw a long, hideous scar.
Looking at the back of his head, I found a scar where no hair had grown.
Tears streamed down her face. "You child! Such a terrible thing happened, why didn't you tell the family? Were you trying to break my heart?"
Gu Zhiyuan sighed and remained silent.
Xu Ningyan was annoyed by this kind of person who never spoke up. Why did he have to keep everything bottled up inside? Why didn't he say anything?
If she doesn't tell him, how will Jiang Yuan know how outrageous Gu Yong has been? How will she be able to give up completely?
Not to mention how to expose Gu Dajun and Gu Daikui's true colors, how to leave Gu Yong with no excuses.
Forget it, the big boss didn't have a mouth, so he grew one himself.
“How could Brother Gu dare to say that? If he hadn’t met me, he probably would have lost his life in Jingshan County! He spent a few days in the hospital and then a month recuperating in his hometown before he finally recovered!”
"Originally, someone was helping to investigate, but it turned out that someone was covering for them and cleaning up the mess! Those who hurt Brother Gu finally escaped to other places, but by the time they got there, they were all gone! The ones who were originally arrested also died mysteriously! At that time, Brother Gu was still considered a 'black five categories' member, so he didn't dare to investigate any further and had to give up! Aunt Jiang, isn't that strange?"
Jiang Yuan wasn't stupid! She immediately realized what was going on.
My first reaction was to look at Gu Yong.
Gu Yong guiltily avoided Jiang Yuan's gaze.
Jiang Yuan's calm expression finally cracked, revealing hatred: "Gu Yong, was it you?"
Gu Yong looked at Jiang Yuan with guilt: "I was confused at the time. I thought that at least the third brother's life wasn't in danger! They are brothers after all, sharing the same blood! If things really escalated, how would we get along and see each other in the future? Moreover, if this matter were investigated by someone who doesn't get along with me, not to mention the two brothers Da Jun and Da Kui, even I wouldn't be able to escape the consequences! I did this for the sake of our family, so I wronged the third brother!"
"I...I've already scolded the eldest and second eldest! I—"
Jiang Yuan slapped Gu Yong across the face again, coldly saying, "Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs! Gu Yong, you're worse than an animal! Da Jun and Da Kui are your sons, but aren't Zhi Yuan and Zhi Xing?"
"You're truly heartless! Gu Yong, how could you have the nerve to pretend everything was alright and act worried about my son while he was struggling for his life? Doesn't your heart ache? No, how could a beast like you have a heart!"
"Haha, I, Jiang Yuan, was truly blind and heartless! Of all the people I had chosen, I actually picked a beast in human skin like you!"
"Gu Yong, divorce! Not only divorce, but from now on, Zhiyuan and Zhixing will be my children alone, Jiang Yuan, and have nothing to do with you, Gu Yong, or your Gu family! Since you don't care about their lives, then you don't need to be their father!"
Gu Yong panicked: "I was wrong! I was just confused at the time! I regret it now, I really know I was wrong!"
Jiang Yuan stared into Gu Yong's eyes, enunciating each word clearly: "Gu Yong, you know my temperament! I'd rather die than live in dishonor! All these years, I've been fooled by your sweet words, swallowing my anger and humiliating myself! Who was I doing this for? It was all for Zhiyuan and Zhixing! But in the end, it turns out that you, their father, are the one who hurt them the most! Why should I continue to humiliate myself?"
"You'd better agree right now! Otherwise, you know what's going on! Whether you have an ambiguous relationship with Fang Dani or you're protecting Gu Dajun and Gu Daikui by hiring someone to commit murder, no matter which one it is, if I report it, do you think any member of your family can escape punishment?"
Upon hearing this, the Gu family members panicked.
"Dayong!"
"dad--"
...
They all looked at Gu Yong pleadingly.
Gu Yong felt a pang of heartache. Looking at Jiang Yuan's eyes, which were filled with disgust and hatred, he knew that it was completely over between him and Jiang Yuan, and there was no chance left.
A sharp pain shot through his chest, and a metallic taste of blood welled up inside him; he forced himself to swallow it.
Looking at her parents, Fang Dani, her two sons, and her daughter-in-law's pleading eyes, she looked up and saw her grandsons at the top of the stairs, who had also been awakened by the noise downstairs and were standing on the stairs in fear and unease.
He closed his eyes briefly. "I promise, I promise you, we'll get a divorce!"
Saying those words drained all of Gu Yong's strength, leaving him feeling completely powerless and wanting to fall backward.
He was supported by Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu, crying and wailing, "Dayong, Dayong, please don't be hurt! If anything happens to you, how will we live?!"
Fang Dani, disregarding her two sons who were still being beaten and trampled underfoot by the Gu brothers, rushed over to help Gu Yong: "Dayong, let me help you back to your room to lie down—"
Xu Ningyan spoke up: "Since no one can sleep, why go back to your room and lie down? Let's discuss how to divide the family property!"
"You!" The Gu family members glared angrily at Xu Ningyan.
"Don't you have any compassion? Can't you see how things are already? You're still thinking about giving up your family fortune?" Qiao Aiyuan said fiercely.
Xu Ningyan shrugged slightly: "Sorry, I really don't have any sympathy for you Gu family members! Besides, in your words, things have come to this, and you still haven't divided the family property? Are you waiting for me to back out or transfer the property tomorrow? Strike while the iron is hot. Since we're getting a divorce anyway, and the two families are never going to see each other again, let's finish dividing it quickly! Not a penny of what belongs to Aunt Jiang and her three children should be taken away!"
He then gestured to Gu Zhixing, "Stop fighting for now. Sit down and see how to divide the inheritance. If you're not satisfied, you can continue beating me—"
