Chapter 353 Safe Deposit Box
After hanging up the phone, Father Gu hurried downstairs.
The cake prepared for him was knocked over on the ground without being touched. The restaurant on the first floor was in chaos, the children were confronting each other, Wu Yue had already left, and for a moment, Father Gu couldn't figure out who knocked over the cake.
But there was no need to pursue the matter of spilling the cake now. Father Gu looked at Mrs. Gu who was still crying and asked, "Who is your favorite child?"
When Mrs. Gu heard these inexplicable words, she stopped crying in fear.
She had never been very wise, but she was always clever. She was shrewdly thinking that even though the family relationships were in a mess now, she couldn't speak carelessly, so as not to ruin her relationship with the children.
"Every child is my favorite." Mrs. Gu saw Gu Xueying dodging on the side, and after thinking for a moment, she added, "Except this little bitch!"
Father Gu had a cold face, and his eyes wandered over the four children. Knowing that he could not count on his wife, he spoke directly to Gu Fengchuan and said, "The car will come to pick us up soon. We will go to see the Red Dragon King together. You be good. After the crisis of the Gu family is over, you will take over all the affairs of the Gu Family Group in the future."
Gu Fengchuan was full of dissatisfaction before, but it was only because his status as heir was threatened. After hearing this, he seemed to not be so resentful towards his father for hiding the fact of his illegitimate child.
"Okay, Dad."
Gu Yuji, however, continued to watch the fun and said, "Big brother still trusts dad so much that he is not afraid of being sold and still helps him count the money."
Father Gu couldn't stand his son's weirdness anymore, so he walked over quickly and grabbed his collar with both hands: "You are well fed and well fed at home, and since you like painting, we hired a famous teacher to teach you. What on earth has made you unhappy? Open your eyes and look outside. How many people want to live a life like you, but they can't!"
Gu Yuji laughed loudly: "What a good day! What a good day! Father and son don't look like father and son, brother and sister don't look like brother and sister. People outside really want such a life of selling their children for fame!"
Father Gu said viciously: "How clean do you think the outside world is? Even if many people want to sell themselves, they can't get a good price! If you continue to be crazy like this, I will no longer have you as my son!"
Gu's father's threat sounded like a joke to Gu Yuji.
"You think I'm begging to stay in this filthy den?"
Seeing that he couldn't get through to him, Father Gu turned around and glared at his second son, Gu Shuangbai: "You also have a share of the Gu family's assets. You should keep a close eye on this brat during this period of time and don't let him cause any trouble!"
Gu Shuangbai was just looking for excitement, not really disregarding everything, so he immediately agreed, raised his hand and asked a trusted servant to come over, hold his brother down and lock him in the house.
Father Gu turned to look at Gu Xueying again and said, "The child in your belly was specifically requested by Lord Dragon King. There can't be any mistakes. You should be more careful during this period and stay away from those two brothers."
Gu Xueying nodded with red eyes. She had never thought that her child would be put on the table like this, but now she had nothing except the Gu family, her lifeline. She did not have the confidence to ignore it.
The Gu couple took Gu Fengchuan into the car. The driver who came to pick them up was a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses late at night.
Gu Fengchuan was sitting in the passenger seat and could clearly see the long scar on the right side of the man's face, which stretched from the corner of his eye to the base of his ear. For some reason, his heart skipped a beat and he felt that this journey might not be smooth.
"Driver, where is the Dragon King taking us?" Father Gu asked.
He was prepared that the other party would not answer, but he did not expect the driver to speak.
As soon as the voice came out, everyone present felt as if their ears were cut by a knife. The driver's voice was really too hoarse and unpleasant.
"Hunan Province."
"What are you doing there?" The Gu family members were puzzled. The driver smiled and said, "Xu Youyou is there, didn't you notice? Ever since Xu Youyou appeared, your Gu family has been getting worse and worse. She is the source of your Gu family's troubles. Only by taking away all her luck can you save your Gu family from this decline."
When Gu's parents heard this, they were very happy. The couple had no feelings for Xu Youyou, a child who had never called them mom and dad. Instead, they were very attached to money.
If sacrificing Xu Youyou could gain long-lasting, peaceful wealth, they rushed forward faster than anyone else.
Gu Fengchuan was the only one in the car, and he still felt that something was wrong, so he couldn't help asking, "Since Lord Dragon King wants to perform a ritual, why did he ask all three of us to go?"
Gu's parents couldn't help but become suspicious because of their son's question.
The driver let out a deep laugh. "You and Xu Youyou are blood relatives. We need the freshest blood from you as a trigger. Otherwise, how can you harm her?"
When Father Gu heard this, he nodded immediately: "Yes, if we really want to deal with this stinky girl, we can only use this method."
Everyone present seemed to have no other ideas about how to deal with the matter so far. They took it for granted that since it was just a trigger, not too much blood would be used.
On Xu Youyou's side, after coming up with such a wonderful idea, she asked Old Lady Wu to take action in the shortest possible time. With the guidance of the old man and Xu Youyou's retelling, after a series of tedious procedures, a safe deposit box actually appeared in the originally empty cellar.
"Thank goodness Miss Xu for having a good memory. My father told you so much in the dream, and the steps were so complicated, but you were able to remember them exactly." Old Mrs. Wu said with emotion.
Xu Youyou couldn't tell the truth, so she could only say, "I've had a very good memory since I was a child, and you, old lady, have strong execution ability too. You didn't make any mistakes in so many procedures."
Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "When I was young, I wanted to learn these magic skills, so I couldn't help but pay more attention to them. It's a pity that the old man doesn't want us, his children, to continue doing these things. He wants us to live an upright life."
Suddenly, a sobbing sound came from Xu Youyou's ear: "My good daughter, why do you feel so much older..."
Xu Youyou felt emotional. The old lady has been very busy these days. She has to stop Wu Xiaoguang and worry about the old man. How can she not become haggard?
"Auntie, you didn't let me bring outsiders into the cellar, but you brought outsiders in yourself!" Wu Xiaoguang came in from somewhere, and when his eyes fell on the ancient and intricately designed wooden safe in Xu Youyou's arms, he immediately stared at it.
"Was this treasure found in the cellar? This is a treasure of our Wu family, how can we let outsiders take it away!" Wu Xiaoguang accused Old Mrs. Wu with confidence.
