Xu Jiashen is a cruel and ruthless person who does not value family affection. He would not even bother to look at the Xu family members being beaten to death, let alone going to jail.
In his eyes, nothing is more important than money, including family.
The attack on Chen Zhenxing this time was most likely because of the garment factory, but Qin Zheng did not intend to say that. If Ye Yun knew that Xu Jiashen did this for her, she would definitely come forward and put herself in danger.
"Don't worry, wife. You and Secretary Liu stay at home. Gu Jin and I will go and bring Chen Zhenxing back to you safely. Okay?"
He stroked the woman's back, again and again, with a gentle and soothing force.
Gu Jin glared at him.
"You can go if you want, why do you want to take me with you?" He looked as if he was afraid to go, and shook his head and said, "My father told me to stay away from Xu Jiashen's people, I dare not get close to them!"
Qin Zheng was not surprised, "Well, then you stay at home with Ye Yun and Secretary Liu."
"What about you?"
"I will go by myself."
"you……"
Gu Jin was surprised that Qin Zheng was so persistent. Did he have to go?
If they don't go, does Xu Jiashen really have the courage to get rid of Chen Zhenxing?
"Manager Gu, Director Chen is an acquaintance of yours after all. It's fine if you just watched him die without rescuing him, but are you going to stop others from rescuing him?" Liu Wan looked at him with tears in her eyes, her eyes full of indignation.
Gu Jin groaned.
"Do you know who Xu Jiashen is?" He laughed angrily and looked at Liu Wan with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
He is an inhuman guy. If you make him angry, you never know what he will do.
It’s not that he is afraid of Xu Jiashen.
Before his father went into business, he was well-known even in Beijing. After he went into business, he had accumulated a lot of connections in the local area. Why would he be afraid of a gangster who suddenly showed up?
It’s better to have less trouble than more.
They took a different path from Xu Jiashen. Lao Gu did business in a down-to-earth manner and his methods were aboveboard. Xu Jiashen also did not provoke him because of Lao Gu's identity and status. The two sides had no conflicts of interest on a daily basis and kept to themselves.
If Lao Gu and Xu Jiashen were rivals and fought each other for seven or eight minutes, the worst that could happen would be that both of them would suffer losses.
But that was Lao Gu.
The one with financial resources, status and identity is Old Gu, and Gu Jin is just a son.
A second-generation rich man who has no money and no status, but relies on the influence of his ancestors to be lazy every day and can only go back to inherit the family business and wait for death.
Old Gu is quite nice to his son.
Although they only saw each other a few times a year, and when they did, they only exchanged a few words of concern, he never restricted Gu Jin's freedom.
Even though every time she drank too much during the New Year's Eve dinner, she would always sigh and want him to go home and inherit the family business, and take the opportunity to teach him a lesson, but she still let him do his job outside and never forced him.
For an old father like this, Gu Jin really couldn't bear to let him sacrifice most of his fortune to work hard for him.
As a brother, he would follow Qin Zheng to meet Xu Jiashen without hesitation.
As a son, he has to take his father into consideration. At the very least, he shouldn't get himself into trouble and drag his father down with him.
Gu Jin turned around and wrote a letter.
"Send this to No. 56 Wutong Lane when it's daybreak. There's no one at home, so just give it to the nanny." He threw the letter to Liu Wan in a bad mood and pulled Qin Zheng out.
Qin Zheng didn't move.
His scrutinizing eyes lingered on Gu Jin's face, and his tone sank: "What did you write?"
"A letter of severance of relations."
Gu Jin did not hide it either. He spread his hands and said in a nonchalant tone, "Since I have chosen to be your brother, I can't let my father down again, right?"
“You’re really good.”
Qin Zheng frowned and snatched the letter from Liu Wan's hand and tore it to pieces.
Ye Yun's eyes were filled with a gentle smile, and she looked at Gu Jin and joked, "I thought your character was ruined."
"Tsk~ look down on me."
Gu Jin didn't care. The person who could shock him might not have been born yet.
He is not the only child in the Gu family. If something really happens to him, the worst that can happen is that Gu Yingying will marry into the family. There are plenty of people to carry on the family line for their family.
The night grew thicker.
The streets are like calm rivers, winding through the dense shadows of the trees. The dark night sky is like a giant net that covers the earth silently and dully.
Zhongxing Tower, located in the west of the city, is hidden in the dense forest, but is still brightly lit.
When his subordinates came to report, Xu Jiashen was sitting in the Buddhist hall, drinking tea leisurely.
The huge Buddha statue on the high platform was covered with yellow cloth, as if he was afraid that his deeds would be known by the Buddha, and he thought that if he covered the Buddha's body, the Buddha would not be able to see his sins.
Chen Zhenxing was placed unconscious on a chair opposite the long table.
Half of his body was lying on the table, with a cup of freshly poured hot tea in front of him, with wisps of mist rising up. If you didn't know better, you would think he was just dazzled by the fragrance of the tea.
Qin Zheng and Gu Jin walked into the Buddhist hall.
Hearing the noise, Xu Jiashen slowly put down the teacup in his hand. He looked up and did not see Ye Yun, but he was not surprised. Instead, he greeted Qin Zheng and Gu Jin with a smile as if he met old friends.
"Hello? What brings you two here?"
Although he was smiling, his eyes were full of calculation and consideration, and he extended his hand to make a gesture of invitation.
"Do you two mind taking a seat and having a drink?"
After that, he called Gu Jin again. Obviously, he recognized Gu Jin and pulled him closer, saying, "Nephew of the Gu family, I met your father not long ago, but I haven't met you yet. Come, bring your friend to sit down and have a cup of tea with your uncle."
"Don't worry, I'm just here with a friend."
With just one sentence, he completely severed his relationship with the Gu family, but Gu Jin was still smiling nonchalantly.
His attitude showed that what he did tonight had nothing to do with the Gu family, and it also indirectly indicated that they were not here to negotiate peace today.
"To be honest, Uncle San, I want to take someone away from you today. Do you think it's okay?"
Gu Jin has always known that one should speak the truth to real people and speak lies to ghosts. When meeting someone like Xu Jiashen, he should brag about him.
Praise him and make him happy.
He was in no mood to have tea with such a crazy beast and just wanted to leave quickly.
"Nephew of the Gu family, you are joking."
As if thinking they were overestimating their own abilities, Xu Jiashen sneered. The corner of his mouth, which had been slashed by a knife, twisted strangely, and his sinister face looked even more terrifying under the candlelight.
He no longer looked at Gu Jin, but stared straight at Qin Zheng with a look of calculation and displeasure.
"Some things need to be discussed with Qin's nephew."
"It's the first time I meet you, so please forgive me for not bringing any gifts." Qin Zheng spoke in a steady voice, looking straight at Xu Jiashen.
Before the other party breaks off relations, he will give them some face. Moreover, he and the Xu family have deep grievances and are not far from each other.
"What are you talking about? I invited you to be my nephew. How can I ask you to bring a gift?"
Although he said so, there was always a gleam in Xu Jiashen's eyes like a venomous snake hunting, and he stared at Qin Zheng motionlessly.
"My dear nephew, you should know what I mean. I am really sad that I didn't meet the person I wanted to meet in advance."
