The old man shook his head silently a few times; it was definitely not possible at the moment.
Uncle Gu's face immediately showed disappointment, and Mei Mei's tears fell even more profusely.
Clearly, Meimei hadn't noticed the conversation between Chief of Staff Ye and Commander Gu in the car earlier.
Currently, no one from the Gu family faction will participate in the open actions regarding this matter. Instead, the Ye family will take the lead to confuse the public.
The old man had apparently received a notification from his eldest son, which is why he hadn't gone out or made any moves until now.
Otherwise, the person would probably have been released long ago.
After all, the influence of the Gu family patriarch is obvious, so who would dare not give him face?
However, the Gu family members were not fools, and the old man was even less so. Now was not the time to use their privileges. The best course of action was to wait quietly and wait for the person behind the scenes to make another move.
I refuse to believe that now that person has made a move, they can just let it go like this.
As for privileges, once they're used, they're gone forever, so they'll never be abused until the very last moment.
Meimei wasn't unaware of the old man's head shaking. Naturally, she hadn't considered this before, but now she must have figured out the reason. However, facing her own son, she still felt a pang of heartache.
"Dad, what about Xiaoling... what will happen to Xiaoling?"
Over the years, it has been rare to see Meimei show such a helpless side. Usually, Meimei is a free-spirited, proud, and confident woman, both at home and outside.
Now, her eyes are red and swollen from crying, her hair is messy, and her face is covered with tear stains. She looks extremely haggard, as if she has aged ten years in an instant.
"What do you mean, 'what to do'? You still don't trust your son's character? He's upright and has nothing to fear. I'll see who dares to play those dirty tricks behind his back!"
Clearly, the old man's meaning was obvious: if the people behind this arrest someone, then arrest them; but if they do anything to their grandson without any evidence, then don't blame the Gu family for taking action.
Gu Jia definitely has the ability to do so!
More than enough!
Anyone with common sense knows that this incident is just the beginning, merely opening a crack in everything.
As long as the Gu family doesn't fall, Gu Ziling will be fine.
Unless, Gu Ziling really did something!
When the old man spoke, Meimei breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Dad, what's the plan for my eldest brother?" Once she sorted things out, Meimei was able to easily grasp the key points.
"Yes, I discussed it with that kid Yutang. He sent someone to check on Xiaoling's condition first."
There's no doubt about the relationship between the Gu and Ye families.
With the Ye family taking action, the Gu family should simply observe and wait.
Yingying, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly seemed to have thought of something and spoke up:
"Grandpa, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, I have an idea."
The old man looked at his granddaughter-in-law and said, "Tell me about it!"
"How about we play the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?"
"oh?"
Ye Wanying curled her lips and slowly explained, "Since someone wants to target the Gu family, their status must be quite high. If you count carefully, there are only a handful of them."
Surely there must be a reason why they want to harm the Gu family?
The Gu family has been powerful and wealthy for generations.
They were a prominent family a century ago, and their heritage is something outsiders cannot fully comprehend.
Naturally, this will also attract the greed of some people with ulterior motives.
As soon as Yingying said this, everyone present, except for a certain little guy, understood.
