“He…he said a couple of days ago that a friend needed to talk to him, so he went out…I…I haven’t seen him for several days.”
"Friends? What friends?!"
Gu Chen pressed closer, his voice so oppressive that He Yue'er could hardly breathe.
"It's...it's his group of card-playing friends..."
He Yue'er's voice grew softer and softer.
"A fellow card player?!"
Gu Chen's face instantly darkened to the point of being almost dripping with gloom.
Is there anything else he doesn't understand?
That good-for-nothing younger brother must have gone gambling again!
Gambling is a bottomless pit!
What wouldn't he do for money?
"Investigate immediately!"
Gu Chen yelled at Wang Ma, the nanny who was trembling with fear, "Go ask! Ask his bunch of cronies where Gu Ruijie is!"
"Yes...yes, Second Young Master!"
Wang Ma scrambled out of the room.
The atmosphere in the living room was extremely oppressive.
Gu Wanwan's heart began to pound as she looked at her second brother's murderous expression.
Could it really be... Third Brother Gu Ruijie?
How could he be so audacious as to steal from his own post?
Soon, news arrived.
"Second...Second Young Master...he found out..."
The person in charge of the investigation was panting heavily, his voice trembling.
"The third young master... he lost a lot of money at an underground casino in the western part of the city a few days ago and is now heavily in debt..."
"That's what the casino said: if he doesn't pay back the money within three days, they'll... they'll chop off his hand..."
Black Panther Casino!
The largest underground casino in Haicheng!
That's a place that eats people up without spitting out the bones!
motivation!
Now, the motives match up perfectly!
He stole money from his family to pay off his gambling debts!
Only he, who grew up in this family since childhood and knows his parents' habits very well, could possibly know the switches of those one or two secret rooms through constant exposure!
That beast! That traitorous beast!
"Bang!"
Gu Chen kicked over the mahogany chair next to him, his whole demeanor like a furious lion.
"Gu Ruijie!"
He growled through gritted teeth, each word like ice coated with deadly poison.
"I'm going to skin him alive today!"
"My son..."
Upon hearing the words "chop off her hand," He Yue'er was terrified and collapsed to the ground, wailing, "What a terrible thing! What terrible thing have I done..."
Upon hearing all this, Gu Tianyou, who had been in a semi-demented state, suddenly revealed a terrifyingly fierce glint in his eyes.
He suddenly struggled to sit up on the sofa, grabbed the ashtray on the table, and smashed it hard on the ground.
With a crisp "crack", the ashtray shattered into pieces.
"This is outrageous...this is outrageous!"
"What a rebellious son I raised! My family fortune has been squandered by my own son!"
Overwhelmed by anger and humiliation, Gu Tianyou temporarily suppressed his grief, replacing it with a raging murderous intent.
"Walk!"
Gu Chen grabbed the coat draped over the sofa, his eyes filled with a murderous glint.
"To hell with 'Black Panther'!"
"I want to see if he's got the guts to spend the Gu family's money!"
Gu Tianyou also stood up, cursing incessantly: "Kill him! I'll beat this little beast to death today!"
He Yue'er originally wanted to try to persuade her.
After all, we haven't gotten to the bottom of things with Gu Ruijie yet.
I don't even know if he stole it.
As a result, the father and son both exuded a murderous aura, so much so that she was too scared to speak.
The driver of the Gu family was so frightened by the menacing aura emanating from the father and son that he didn't dare to breathe loudly and stepped on the gas.
Like an arrow released from a bow, the car tore through the night and sped off towards the west of the city.
Inside the car, the air pressure was so low it could suffocate a person.
Gu Tianyou's eyes were bloodshot, and he repeatedly chewed on those words: "Beast...you little beast..."
Gu Chen sat in the passenger seat, his face ashen.
He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, but his eyes behind the lenses were like two bottomless, icy pools, completely still.
In the back seat, He Yue'er was already sobbing uncontrollably.
Gu Wanwan pursed her lips tightly, her face was deathly pale, and her eyes were filled with unconcealed panic and deep disgust.
That third brother is a complete and utter good-for-nothing!
He has caused a terrible disaster, and now he's dragging the entire Gu family down with him and making them look bad!
"Tianyou, Chen'er, you...you should go easy on me later."
He Yue'er finally couldn't hold back any longer, her voice trembling with tears as she pleaded, "Ruijie... he must have been confused for a moment, blinded by greed! Let's find out the truth and bring him back first, please... please don't let anyone die!"
"Shut up!"
Gu Tianyou turned his head sharply, his bloodshot eyes glaring at her: "You still have the nerve to plead for that unfilial son? If you hadn't spoiled him since he was little, turning him into a lawless brat, would he have dared to do such a despicable thing as stealing from the family?!"
Before He Yue'er could speak again, Gu Wanwan's cold voice rang out, tinged with impatience.
"Mom, what's the point of saying all this now? When he stole, didn't he think about how he would drag the entire Gu family down with him? If he really cared about you as his mother, he wouldn't have gone to the casino!"
One sentence left He Yue'er speechless, and she could only cover her face, suppressing her sobs.
Gu Chen glanced coldly at Gu Wanwan in the rearview mirror without saying a word, but his eyes revealed a hint of approval.
This younger sister, though sometimes thinking she's clever, is clear-headed when it matters and is far more useful than her mother, who's blinded by maternal love.
