Inside the ancestral hall.
The lights were brilliant, as bright as day.
Gu Chen stood tall and elegant in the middle of the ancestral hall, exuding a chilling aura.
Gu Changxuan felt a little guilty when he met Gu Chen's gaze, his face tense. "Gu Chen, what are you trying to do? This isn't a place where you can act recklessly!"
"Uncle, will you return the person to me yourself, or do I have to do it myself?" Gu Chen's tone was indifferent, but the chill in his voice sent shivers down one's spine.
At this moment, an elderly man who was about the same age as Gu Changxuan stood up and said tremblingly, "Gu Chen, are you really going to go against our entire clan for the sake of a woman?"
Don't forget, everything you have now is thanks to the Gu family. Without the Gu family, you are nothing!
Gu Chen's lips curled into a slight smile, but to the members of the Gu family, that smile sent a chill down their spines.
His icy gaze fell on Gu Changxuan again. "Speaking of which, I really have to thank the clan leader for choosing my father to run the Gu family business. Otherwise, my father would not have met my mother, and I would not exist in this world."
To express my gratitude, I'd like you all to experience the good life my mother lived back then, okay?
The ancestral hall fell silent. Gu Chen's father, Gu Zhi, had rebelled against the family after meeting his mother, Jian Shi, and was gradually showing signs of breaking away from the family's control.
In order to regain control of Gu Zhi, Gu Changxuan used many methods.
In the end, Gu Zhi's love for Jian Shi became a kind of perverted existence, especially after he found out that one of the twins was not his child. He still maintained the image of a refined and elegant businessman in public, but at home he was like a demon.
And Jian Shi went from being his wife to being his captive.
Even Gu Heng's ability to escape from the Gu family and the final car accident involving Gu Zhi's family were orchestrated by Gu Changxuan, the clan head.
Some of the people present may not have participated in the process, but no one was unaware of it.
If Gu Chen were to truly seek revenge for those things, none of them would be innocent!
In the silent ancestral hall, the crackling and popping of the eternal lamps in front of the rows of memorial tablets seemed particularly jarring and eerie.
Gu Changxuan gritted his teeth and slammed his hand on the armrest of the chair. "Gu Chen, how dare you! Your father himself attempted to betray the family, and I did not punish him according to the family law. I even allowed him to be enshrined in the ancestral hall after his death, which is already an extraordinary act of mercy."
Is your current attitude an attempt to follow in your father's footsteps?
Gu Chen turned his head, his deep, dark eyes meeting Gu Changxuan's, a chilling smile playing on his lips. "Now, the clan leader may proceed with the family discipline against me."
"You..." Gu Changxuan choked for a moment. He never expected Gu Chen to be so direct.
Moreover, after taking Ye Ruan away, he originally planned to take Gu Chen directly, then dispose of Gu Chen without anyone knowing, and have a substitute replace Gu Chen.
But to their surprise, Gu Chen woke up as soon as they got him to the ancestral hall.
Qiu Shun even brought all the people of Gu family with some status to the ancestral hall, so that he could no longer make a move against Gu Chen.
"Fine, very well!" Gu Changxuan gritted his teeth again. "Bring on the family discipline!"
As soon as Gu Changxuan finished speaking, Gu Pei respectfully handed a jade flute with a bright green hue to Gu Changxuan.
Gu Changxuan brought the jade flute to his lips, and a series of notes flowed out, but the sound was not pleasant at all. Instead, it made people feel as if something was scratching at their heart, causing indescribable irritability and discomfort.
As Gu Changxuan played the instrument, his sinister gaze remained fixed on Gu Chen.
The Gu family originally started out in the pharmaceutical industry.
An ancestor passed down a kind of Gu technique. After the Gu family went into seclusion here, they set a rule that all clansmen who were selected to do business outside the family must be infected with Gu worms to prevent them from betraying the family.
Although Gu Chen was not chosen by the family, he was present when Gu Zhi died. In order to survive, the Gu worms will automatically seek out the person with the closest blood relation to the original host and transfer to him.
This is why, after Gu Chen resolved the issue of whoever took over the old house, the old house side felt comfortable letting him take over the Gu family business.
Because they believed they had a trump card that allowed them to control Gu Chen.
