Gu Dajun's testimony was detailed and factual, and every report he made was verifiable. This immediately alarmed Commander Yang, who is now verifying each report one by one.
If solid evidence is found, Gu Yong might not only be dismissed and demoted, but could also end up in prison.
Gu Yong has built up some connections in the military over the years.
Gu Yong soon learned that Gu Dajun and Gu Daikui had betrayed him.
It's impossible not to feel disheartened.
From the moment Gu Yong noticed something amiss to the aggressive approach of the Northwest Military Region personnel, he quickly realized the seriousness of the situation.
These days he's been racking his brains trying to figure out how to clear the Gu brothers of suspicion.
At first, some people agreed to help, but as the matter progressed and more and more evidence was uncovered, the truth became clearer and clearer, and those who had initially agreed to help backed down.
Some kind-hearted people would even remind Gu Yong that not only should this matter not be carried out, but he should also restrain himself and stop making such a fuss, lest he get implicated.
Most people remained silent, then quietly blocked Gu Yong, stopped answering his calls, and avoided him altogether.
One of Gu Yong's comrades, who was far away in the Southwest Military Region, was also asked by Gu Yong to help him. At first, he readily agreed, thinking that it was just a child making a small mistake and that the Northwest Military Region was using it as an excuse. He first scolded the Northwest Military Region and then patted his chest to guarantee that he would mediate between them.
When she learned the truth, she was furious. She first scolded Gu Yong for being dishonest and for hiding the truth from her.
Later, he even gave Gu Yong a severe scolding, expressing his disappointment and frustration.
They can call him old and blind, call him blind and deaf, but they're all his own flesh and blood, how could he do something so foolish and biased? He drove his virtuous wife and two promising sons out of the Gu family and severed all ties with them! Yet he's pampered his two sons who are worthless, narrow-minded, and short-sighted?
They're calling Gu Yong brainless. What else do they want to do besides wait for the results from higher-ups? They actually think they can protect those two idiots?
He was a rude person to begin with, and in the end, he directly asked Gu Yong if he had been bewitched by those two idiot sons. Such a serious matter, if Ming Zhe didn't protect himself, he should at least make an attitude, say that he didn't know that the two idiots had committed such a thing, and admit his mistake and apologize!
How dare they shamelessly beg for help everywhere?
Finally, he directly said he wanted to sever ties with Gu Yong. Such a muddle-headed comrade-in-arms, even his wife and two sons who had suffered alongside him all this time could be driven away so coldly. These old comrades-in-arms felt heartbroken watching this.
Gu Yong was severely criticized and ultimately had his friendships severed; one can imagine how he felt.
That was bad enough, but when they got back to the military compound, the Gu family patriarch and matriarch, Fang Dani, and their two daughters-in-law were crying and wailing, grabbing Gu Yong's clothes and forcing him to release Gu Dajun and Gu Daikui as soon as possible.
What do the old man, the old woman, and Fang Dani know? In their hearts, their son and man are the highest-ranking leaders. How could such a small matter stump them?
The two daughters-in-law knew the seriousness of the problem, but he was their husband, the father of their children. If something really happened, how could they live?
Gu Yong was her only hope, so naturally she would cry and complain whenever she saw him, and even bring the child out.
The children hugged Gu Yong and cried, wanting their father.
Gu Yong couldn't stand being at home for even a minute; he had to go to the office.
But as soon as he arrived at the office, he received another piece of bad news: the Gu brothers had dealt him the final blow.
It's said that the person who instigated Aunt Xie to poison her was sent by Gu Yong! Because that person was Gu Yong's confidant, and no one else could command him!
It was Gu Yong who, out of resentment that Xu Ningyan had instigated Jiang Yuan to divorce him and that their two sons had severed ties with him, devised this plan to teach Xu Ningyan a lesson.
Jiang Zhiyuan only wanted to marry Xu Ningyan, but he was not satisfied with his daughter-in-law and felt that it was Xu Ningyan who was causing trouble, which led to the current state of their father-son relationship.
So he had someone drug Xu Ningyan because he didn't want to break ties with Jiang Zhiyuan and wanted Xu Ningyan to appear to outsiders as having died of illness.
After Xu Ningyan dies, he will find a way to introduce a suitable girl to Jiang Zhiyuan who will not go against him, so that he can restore his father-son relationship with Jiang Zhiyuan.
Gu Yong asked them for this medicine after learning that Gu Daikui's wife, Zhang Yanan, had a cousin who was supposedly a descendant of a royal physician.
They were confused for a moment, and they didn't want to go against Gu Yong's wishes, so they gave him the medicine.
Therefore, the real culprit is Gu Yong; they are innocent.
This devastating news came from Gu Yong's trusted subordinates.
As soon as the bad news was delivered, Gu Yong's face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood before collapsing to the ground.
Fortunately, his men were there and quickly took him to the hospital.
Now, some in the Northwest Military Region are starting to believe Gu Daikui and Gu Dajun's testimonies, finding them logically plausible.
Most importantly, the person who went to meet Aunt Xie was indeed Gu Yong's confidant.
When he left the army for Jingshan County, the reason he gave his superiors was that he had received a special order from Gu Yong to carry out a special mission.
Gu Yong is still lying unconscious in the hospital. When he wakes up, he will be subjected to an investigation by the military region.
After listening, Xu Ningyan breathed a sigh of relief, hesitated for a moment, and asked Jiang Zhiyuan, "Do you think this is a betrayal and frame-up by Gu Dajun and Gu Daikui? Or is it really Commander Gu's original intention?"
She had initially believed that Gu Dajun and Gu Daikui were the masterminds, but after hearing these words, she was no longer sure. Could it really be Gu Yong?
Jiang Zhiyuan scoffed: "Does it make a difference whether it's the Gu Yong brothers or the Gu Dajun brothers?"
Xu Ningyan came to her senses; she had almost been led astray by Gu Dajun and his brother!
Yeah, what difference does it make who it is? Anyway, none of the three of them—father and sons—are good people, and none of them can escape responsibility for this matter!
Gu Dajun may have framed him, but Gu Yong definitely knew something inside. After all, that was his confidant, and he went out to do business under his name. Did he really not know anything at all?
Who would believe that?
Anyway, the father and son are locked in a love-hate relationship, like dogs fighting each other, and it would be best if they could expose more and more of each other's illegal activities!
"With such conclusive evidence, what will become of the father and his two sons?"
Xu Ningyan was very curious.
Jiang Zhiyuan thought for a moment: "If his confidant can hold his ground and refuse to implicate Gu Yong, or even turn around and accuse the Gu brothers, Gu Yong might be dismissed and demoted! As for the Gu brothers, Gu Dajun and Gu Daikui, they were accomplices in the previous murder-for-hire case, so it depends on which of the two brothers has a lighter sentence! I reckon Gu Dajun is in trouble; his past isn't clean, and he can't withstand an investigation!"
"As for Gu Daikui, he's not very bright. He just talks a lot and says he can distance himself from Gu Yong and Gu Dajun. Plus, he's the first to report Gu Yong, so he'll probably be able to keep his job."
