Gu Weiguo said, "Mom, think about it. The higher-ups have already decided to target our large families. This is irreversible. However, we have been robbed. All of our Gu family's assets have been stolen."
“Once those higher up find out about this, they definitely won’t be looking at us anymore, but will be eyeing others instead. This will give us the opportunity to quietly transfer our assets.”
"Don't you think this is a good thing?"
"After all, our Gu family is a large family. The people above must know that our Gu family has a lot of wealth. But now that we have been robbed, all our century-old wealth has been stolen. Since they can't get any benefits from our family, they will naturally stop targeting us."
As soon as Gu Weiguo said this, Old Mrs. Gu's eyes lit up.
She said, "Oh, Weiguo, you're absolutely right. You're so smart; you figured it out so quickly."
“I think you’re right. In a little while, we’re not only going to report this to the police, but we’re also going to make a scene that everyone knows about.”
"The bigger the commotion, the more likely the higher-ups will believe that the Gu family's assets have been stolen, and then they will definitely stop keeping an eye on us."
Gu Weiguo nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I think too. This report must be made big enough so that everyone, even the whole of Beijing, knows about it. Although we may be ridiculed by others in the days to come, once we have transferred our assets and fled to Hong Kong, we can see who is laughing at whom."
"After all, the one who laughs last laughs best."
Gu Nini watched and listened the whole time.
Even she had to admit that this cheap second uncle was quite something.
They actually figured out so quickly that they could use the theft to divert attention from their family's situation.
Her scumbag father would never have imagined this.
At this moment, Old Madam Gu spoke up and asked, "Weiguo, is this matter settled? Tell me what we should do next? What's the plan? How do we use Fang Xueqing and her daughter as scapegoats?"
"What are your thoughts? Tell me!"
Fang Shuyuan was taken aback: "Are you going to make Fang Xueqing and her daughter our scapegoats?"
What's going on?
"And why are we transferring our assets? Fleeing to Hong Kong Island? Why is that?"
Fang Shuyuan was somewhat confused when she heard this.
There are many things she doesn't know yet.
Gu Weiguo explained, “Wife, I received some definite news at the banquet tonight: the higher-ups are going to target our large families. Therefore, we must transfer our assets as soon as possible and escape to Hong Kong.”
"Staying here will only lead to certain death. Not only will we be targeted by speculators, but we might even be left out in the cold, so..."
"Huh? A speculator? Eating peanuts?"
Fang Shuyuan was dumbfounded, then she hurriedly said, "Weiguo, what are we waiting for? Let's run! I don't want to die!"
She hasn't lived enough yet and doesn't want to be sold off like this, sent to be eaten like peanuts.
Gu Weiguo reassured them, "Don't worry, our family will be fine."
At this point, Gu Weiguo took a sip of water before continuing, "My initial plan is this: we will openly hand over the Gu family patriarchship to my eldest brother, and at the same time, we will hand over all two large factories to him. We will not take any shares, and he will hold 100% of the shares."
"As for us, we discreetly contacted the Fang family, which is your family's side, and used their connections to transfer our family's assets. Then, before anyone could react, we took a boat to Hong Kong Island."
"With our family fortune, it would be a piece of cake for us to gain a foothold in Hong Kong Island."
"Moreover, we can join forces with the Fang family to fight against the local families on Hong Kong Island. If possible, we can even form a marriage alliance with a local family on Hong Kong Island to quickly help us gain a foothold there."
As soon as Gu Weiguo spoke, Fang Shuyuan quickly asked, "Weiguo, are my parents leaving too?"
Gu Weiguo nodded and said, "Of course. Although their family is not as wealthy as ours, they are still one of the top families. They are also a family that has been named by the higher-ups. If they don't run away, staying here will only mean waiting to die."
Fang Shuyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then let's run together. If we go to Hong Kong Island and support each other, we'll definitely be able to quickly gain a foothold."
