The most urgent task is to rescue them first.
Thinking of this.
Gu Weiguo said to Gu Qingqing, "Qingqing, don't worry, Grandma and the others will definitely be fine. Don't worry, after all, we are the Gu family. Those people from the police station would never dare to do anything to your grandma and the others."
"There are more important things to do right now!"
"Huh? What could be more important than saving Grandma and the others?"
Gu Qingqing looked puzzled: "Are Grandma and the others really alright? Those people won't torture Grandma, will they? You know, Grandma is so old. She's always been pampered since she was little. She's never suffered like this before. I really feel so sorry for Grandma and Mom."
Gu Weiguo patted Gu Qingqing's head and gently comforted her, "Qingqing, don't worry, your grandma and the others will definitely be alright."
"As for the more important matter next... naturally, it's to dismiss all these servants!"
"Huh? Dismiss these servants? Why?"
Gu Qingqing was stunned. She had always been waited on hand and foot since she was a child and had never done any housework. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth.
They need someone to take care of their basic needs: food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.
But now her father says he wants to dismiss these dozen or so servants.
This startled her.
"If we send them away, who will take care of our food and shelter in the future?"
Gu Weiguo said, "Qingqing, I learned some very important news tonight, and this news is very unfavorable to our large families."
"Huh? What news?" Gu Qingqing was startled and asked quickly.
Gu Weiguo said in a deep voice, "The higher-ups are going to settle scores with our big families, so we must keep a low profile and find a way to escape from here."
"Then our first step is naturally to dismiss these servants, otherwise I'm afraid someone will come to investigate our family's extravagance and excess tomorrow."
Gu Qingqing was immediately frightened upon hearing this.
No matter how scheming, ruthless, or wicked she was, she was still just a 15-year-old girl. So, when she heard the news, she was also frightened and turned pale.
"Dad, is what you're saying true? Are the authorities really going to settle scores with our big families? How could they do this? We haven't done anything wrong. All this wealth is what our ancestors worked so hard to earn."
After her anger subsided, Gu Qingqing asked anxiously, "Dad, what should we do now? Should we run away? But where can we run to?"
Gu Weiguo said, "Naturally, they fled to Hong Kong Island. I also met with other people tonight, and they all said they wanted to flee to Hong Kong Island as well."
"Most importantly, your maternal grandparents have connections to get ferry tickets to Hong Kong Island, and they also have connections to transport all our family assets there!"
"I was planning to discuss this with your grandmother when I got back tonight, but I didn't expect to find out that they had been arrested."
"Alright, Qingqing, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to go and dismiss those lowly servants!"
"By the way, Qingqing, what I just told you, you must not tell anyone, because it's top secret. I paid a great price to find out."
"We absolutely cannot let anyone else know."
Gu Weiguo was about to leave after speaking, but Gu Qingqing called him back:
"Dad, how about this, I'll help you get rid of these lowly servants, and you should quickly find a way to rescue Grandma and Mom. I'm really worried about them."
Gu Weiguo was stunned. He looked at Gu Qingqing and asked, "Qingqing, are you sure you can do it?"
Gu Qingqing patted her chest and said, "Dad, don't underestimate me. It's just dismissing a dozen or so servants. This is simple. I can definitely do it."
Gu Weiguo thought about it and realized it made sense. It was just a dozen or so servants; his precious daughter could definitely handle it.
Moreover, he is very anxious now and wants to go to the police station to see what exactly happened.
I hope his mother and wife don't get bullied.
So he said, "Alright, Qingqing, I'll leave this to you. I'll go to the police station to see what's going on."
After Gu Weiguo finished speaking, he opened the study door and quickly walked out.
As for Gu Qingqing, after Gu Weiguo left, her face immediately regained its arrogance, and there was no trace of the worry and fragility she had shown just now.
She stepped out of the study and coldly said to the servants who were pretending to be busy, "All of you servants, come here to me!"
