Not long after he said that, Jiang Zhiyuan came home that evening, and his expression was off.
However, upon seeing Xu Ningyan, his expression immediately softened. Seeing her worried look, he quickly waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'll go wash my face first, and then we'll eat."
When Aunt Wang saw Jiang Zhiyuan return, she wisely got up and went home, leaving the unmarried young couple alone.
After Jiang Zhiyuan finished washing his face and sat down, Xu Ningyan served him a bowl of soup: "Have a bowl of soup first."
Jiang Zhiyuan took two sips of soup before starting to eat.
Xu Ningyan had just picked up a potato slice when she heard Jiang Zhiyuan say, "Gu Yong's men came to me today, asking me to save Gu Yong this once, no matter what, for the sake of our father-son bond, otherwise Gu Yong might be dismissed and demoted!"
Xu Ningyan was very puzzled: "Gu Yong only protected the Gu brothers, and he suffered such a terrible fate? What about the Gu brothers?"
Jiang Zhiyuan's expression turned cold: "The Gu brothers have pushed all the blame onto Gu Yong!"
What?
Xu Ningyan felt that her worldview had been shattered!
What kind of predatory move is this?
Gu Dajun and Gu Daikui actually betrayed Gu Yong.
Heavens above, earth below! Which deity has opened their eyes this time?!
Xu Ningyan tried hard to make her expression serious, but she failed.
So she lay completely flat, revealing a surprised smile: "Such a good thing, uh, something to be surprised about? That's really pitiful!"
Jiang Zhiyuan glanced at Xu Ningyan helplessly: "The smile on your face isn't one of pity."
Xu Ningyan waved his hand: "None of that matters. Quick, tell me what happened?"
Jiang Zhiyuan then explained in detail.
It turns out that the Northwest Military Region's intervention this time not only thoroughly investigated this matter, but also uncovered the previous case of Gu Dajun and Gu Daikui hiring someone to kill Jiang Zhiyuan. They delivered two sets of materials, clearly presented to Commander Yang of the Beijing Military Region, as a buy-one-get-one-free deal.
Although the person who was arrested has never confessed, the testimonies of the others and various pieces of evidence make it less important whether that person has confessed or not.
The brothers Gu Dajun and Gu Daikui will definitely not escape the charge of hiring someone to commit murder.
Moreover, the Northwest Military Region did something particularly disgusting, but also particularly gratifying.
They deliberately misled the Gu brothers, pretending to be casual, and let them overhear the conversation between the people investigating them when they went out for a smoke.
They said that although the person they instructed did not confess, the other evidence was sufficient.
Most importantly, Gu Yong has given up on the two brothers and is now going to see Jiang Yuan and Jiang Zhiyuan every day, hoping to get them back!
The investigators also deliberately poked at the two men's sensitive spots, saying that anyone in their shoes would know to protect themselves and abandon their two good-for-nothing sons to avoid being implicated.
Besides, even if those two are useless, don't we have two better sons? Even a fool knows which one to choose.
They also said that Gu Yong was confused before, but now he has finally seen things clearly.
He muttered a few more words, such as that children born to the first wife are not as good as children born to the second wife.
Those words struck right to the heart of the Gu brothers.
I don't know if Gu Dajun believed it or not, but Gu Daikui certainly did.
Gu Daikui was a hot-tempered, brainless person who was easily swayed.
What he finds most intolerable is being told that he and Gu Dajun are not as good as the Jiang brothers, and that his own mother is not as good as Jiang Yuan.
Hearing that Gu Yong was going to abandon them and try to win over Jiang Yuan and Jiang Zhiyuan to get them back, he believed it even more.
After all, his older brother, Gu Dajun, had told him countless times what kind of person Gu Yong's biological father was, and that he should never trust Gu Yong's biological father and just appease him on the surface.
The fact that Gu Yong could abandon Jiang Yuan and her son back then, and then turn a blind eye to their grievances for their sake, shows that he is a person who only cares about himself.
Just coax him and make more money off him, using his influence. But don't actually treat him like your father, because one day he might abandon you and your brother.
From a young age, Gu Daikui never listened to anyone else, except Gu Dajun. Although he wasn't very bright, he remembered Gu Dajun's words perfectly.
The words of those investigators have now struck a nerve with Gu Daikui and Gu Dajun.
Gu Daikui recalled Gu Dajun's words and understood everything.
Gu Yong is the kind of person who would do something like this!
If Jiang Yuan and Jiang Zhiyuan come back, then what about his biological mother and the brothers?
After working hard for more than a decade, am I going to be reduced to nothing again?
Gu Daikui was so enraged that he lost his mind.
Gu Daikui knew that if the charges were proven, neither he nor Gu Dajun would have a good ending, and their wives, children, and mothers would all be implicated.
Only Gu Yong will be fine! He can deny everything and claim ignorance! Then, after severing ties with the brothers, he'll still be the high and mighty Commander Gu!
Why?! Why should they suffer while Gu Yong is perfectly fine?
Gu Daikui's mind was clearer than ever before.
Even if they're going to hell, they'll drag their biological father, Gu Yong, down with them! After all, didn't Gu Yong say he favored him and his older brother the most? Wasn't it so they could kick their own flesh and blood out of the Gu family?
Then let's fall heavily from this height together, just for the sake of our brothers one more time!
After figuring it out, Gu Daikui quickly declared that he would report it!
He reported that his own father, Gu Yong, had hired someone to commit murder, protected the murderer, misappropriated military supplies, abused his power, and mistreated and persecuted his subordinates... and so on!
The reviewers were stunned on the spot!
They only wanted to make a small opening, but they didn't expect Gu Daikui to release the entire flood!
This incredible achievement just fell right on his head!
They exchanged glances, said nothing more, and began to interrogate him relentlessly through the night!
Gu Da Kui's actions were not kept secret from Gu Da Jun.
Gu Dajun knew immediately what had gotten into Gu Daikui! He himself didn't really believe that Gu Yong wouldn't try to save them, but in the current situation, he was afraid that even if he wanted to, he was powerless to do so.
However, Gu Daikui's outburst provided him with a new idea.
Since Gu Yong is powerless to save the brothers, he might as well sacrifice himself and pave a way for them to survive! It would be his duty as a father to his children, wouldn't it?
Compared to Gu Daikui, Gu Dajun was much more cunning. He immediately followed Gu Daikui's lead and rose up in rebellion, taking the initiative to report his own father in order to seek leniency.
Gu Daikui's report was all bark and no bite; it sounded impressive, but there was hardly any evidence.
On the other hand, Gu Dajun spoke with great detail, including the time, place, and people involved, showing that he had paid close attention.
The interrogators, their hearts pounding as they took down the statements, felt a chill run down their spines. This Gu Dajun was nothing like Gu Yong's son; he was even more ruthless than Gu Yong's enemy! He was keeping track of his father's weaknesses for future use!
This is truly the most filial son in the world, the kind who is devoted to his father to the point of death!
