Although the Gu family's stock market was brought under control, other projects still suffered heavy losses due to Chu Yiting and Senior Brother Zhai.
With the Gu family father and son absent, many people in the company are feeling uneasy, and quite a few have started secretly looking for jobs, wanting to change jobs.
As for the Gu family's situation, it's none of Senior Brother Lin's business for now; let's put it aside for the time being, as Chu Yiting suggested.
Senior Brother Lin picked up his son from school and went to the Chu family's house. They had dinner there, and his son played with Tang Bao while he, Chu Yiting, and the others went to the study to discuss the day's events.
"Tsk, I didn't expect the Gu family to have a backup plan!" Chu Yiting sneered, his handsome face with its sharp features showing a cold expression.
Although I already knew how the Gu family got away with their crime when I called Tang Bao earlier, I still praised them for managing to resolve this crisis.
At least, the Gu family members aren't fools; they knew they had considered the consequences when they did this.
Senior Brother Lin sighed and spread his hands helplessly, "After all, we can't prove that they were the ones who tampered with these things, so we can only release them for now!"
Chu Yixi, however, was not worried at all, and said nonchalantly, "Actually, it's not completely useless!"
"Um?"
Senior Brother Lin looked at Chu Yixi with a puzzled expression, feeling that he didn't quite understand what Chu Yixi was saying.
Chu Yiting glanced at his third brother, a sly smile curving his lips. "Then let's continue to apply pressure! This time, we can add those nine families!"
Those nine families didn't believe the Gu family was innocent. Even if they were innocent, they still needed to find a scapegoat, didn't they?
Moreover, they even asked to use Sugar Baby, hoping it could help them resolve their current crisis.
Tang Bao is a member of the Chu family. In order to please the Chu family and work with them to deal with the Gu family, it would be a way to show off, wouldn't it?
Chu Yixi nodded in agreement, "That's a good idea!"
Master Lin then asked with concern, "Have the people from those nine families come knocking on our door to beg for our help?"
"It's still early. After all, we don't have a very good relationship with them, so they'll definitely want to prepare more gifts and ask us to come over!"
Although Chu Yiting didn't take those nine companies seriously, he didn't care since they needed his help.
He couldn't refuse such a freebie, especially since it all belonged to Tang Bao, so as the older brother, he naturally couldn't refuse.
Senior Brother Lin laughed rather unkindly, "Hmm, we must prepare more gifts and make them bleed a lot! It would be best if they resented the Gu family, the culprits, for causing them to lose so much money!"
The Gu family has caused them so much trouble, and Senior Brother Lin certainly doesn't want them to have a good life; he hopes they'll become increasingly unlucky.
Unfortunately, their family has always had good fortune, so it's quite difficult to see them suffer misfortune.
Chu Yifan scoffed and said sarcastically, "Those who reap what they sow!"
The Gu family themselves pushed these families to the opposite side, so how could they not take advantage of it?
Especially Xue's father, who offended Tang Bao because he suspected the Chu family's intentions, must be regretting it now.
Therefore, if Xue's father were to join the fight against the Gu family, he would absolutely not refuse, and might even bring in the other eight families, just to help them resolve their current crisis.
He was really looking forward to seeing how the Gu family would handle the upcoming crisis!
The next day, the Gu family father and son, who had been detained for 24 hours, were released.
The Gu family head and Gu Ziming looked at the Daoist people with immense joy and pride on their faces and in their hearts. Their arrogant demeanor made the Daoist staff extremely unhappy.
Even though they knew perfectly well that these were the people who were helping the evil cultivator Liu Zixing, they had no choice but to release them for the time being because they had no evidence.
As he walked out of the office building, the head of the Gu family stretched arrogantly at the entrance, his demeanor full of provocation.
However, this was not the place for them to talk, so the father and son left the Taoist temple and went home.
Mrs. Gu and Lin Xinyi had been waiting for their arrival at home.
Although the father and son had reassured them that everything would be alright before they were arrested, they still couldn't help but worry.
Madam Gu, in particular, was very dissatisfied with Lin Xinyi and tormented her relentlessly over the past twenty-four hours.
Lin Xinyi was even more excited than Madam Gu to see Gu Ziming return, because with Gu Ziming back, she no longer had to worry about being tormented by Madam Gu.
It's already winter, and the outside temperature is below zero, but Madam Gu made her stand outside in thin clothes and not go in unless the head of the Gu family and Gu Ziming came home.
Lin Xinyi caught a cold after standing all night, but she wisely didn't show it when facing Gu Ziming.
At this point, you should first show concern for the situation of the Gu family father and son, instead of immediately complaining, as that will only lower your impression of them.
Because they still needed to discuss things and wanted to avoid Mrs. Gu and Lin Xinyi, the Gu father and son only exchanged a few pleasantries with them before heading to the study.
"We're fine, we still have some things to discuss. You must be tired from yesterday, so if there's nothing else, go and rest!"
Having worried for 24 hours, the pampered Madam Gu was naturally exhausted, and without saying much, she went upstairs to rest.
Lin Xinyi's eyes were red, and she looked at Gu Ziming with a wronged expression.
Gu Ziming, however, did not notice Lin Xinyi's flushed cheeks due to her cold. He gently patted her head and said in an almost commanding tone, "You should go and rest too. Dad and I have something to discuss!"
Lin Xinyi opened her mouth, but in the end she could only obediently nod in agreement.
Even Madam Gu has gone upstairs. If she keeps bothering Gu Ziming and causes trouble, it will probably ruin her image as a considerate person.
"Okay, I'll wait for you in the room!"
Gu Ziming nodded, completely unaware of Lin Xinyi's hoarse and muffled voice, and then went upstairs to the study with his father.
Lin Xinyi watched Gu Ziming's retreating figure, her lips trembling with reluctance. She was still unwilling to go to her room like this.
The Gu father and son entered the study and closed and locked the door.
The head of the Gu family patted his son Gu Ziming on the shoulder and laughed triumphantly, "Hahaha, son, we owe it all to you this time. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to get out so easily!"
If Gu Ziming hadn't taken precautions and made preparations beforehand, he definitely wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed.
Gu Ziming's lips curled into a smug smile. "Of course! Dad, I will definitely make the Gu Group surpass the Chu Group!"
He was no worse than Chu Yiting; he just had a few less years of experience and wasn't given the opportunity to showcase his talents.
