From the outside, the Gong family seems to be doing very well, having even secured a major overseas investment and gained control of nearly half of that country's energy resources.
What about reality?
They even went so far as to send assassins to kill people they couldn't see.
And it's like they're locked in a battle with Gong Chengjue, relentlessly pursuing him. Even though the current head of the family is Gong Changfan.
There's a kind of hatred that's so intense you wish the other person were dead. Gong Changming blamed all his misfortunes on Gong Chengjue.
"What are your plans, Uncle?" Gong Chengjue asked Gong Changfan.
Gong Changfan felt a little embarrassed. Although he was the head of the family, he still followed the old man's wishes and discussed many things with Gong Chengjue.
It must be admitted that Gong Chengjue is more capable than him in managing the family business.
Gong Chengjue truly lives up to his reputation as someone personally trained by the old man; honestly, even his own son doesn't receive this kind of treatment.
One reason was the special bond between grandparents and grandchildren, and another reason was that Gong Chengjue truly surprised the old man. He had originally groomed Gong Chengjue to be the eldest grandson to manage the company, but the more he groomed him, the more he felt that Gong Chengjue was capable of being the head of the family.
"And another thing is that we completely wiped out that shady assassination organization," Gong Changhong said seriously.
Gong Chengjue looked at him.
"The assassination order must be eliminated as soon as possible." Gong Changhong looked at him seriously. "This concerns your personal safety."
"Second Uncle, these kinds of organizations are all overseas. How easy is it?" This is even more difficult than getting Gong Changming to pay 100 million and then withdraw the assassination order.
Moreover, overseas organizations like these have intricate connections with all sorts of shady forces, engaging in shady activities. Some want to eliminate them, while others want to protect them.
"So, are we just going to have to be passive like this?" Gong Changhong was very concerned about Gong Chengjue's safety. "Chengjue, you need to add more bodyguards around you."
“I have enough bodyguards around me, and I care about my own safety. I will pay extra attention, but precisely because of this, they are starting to act desperately. We can no longer proceed with our current cautious approach; we must find a way to break through their defenses quickly.”
No one with an assassination warrant over their head would pretend to be indifferent and say, "I don't care," and Gong Chengjue certainly wouldn't either.
Because there was a real possibility of death, that's why he cut off all ties with Su Ziqing as soon as he learned of the assassination order, wanting to protect her.
However, what he didn't expect was that Su Ziqing actually planned to marry another man...
Is her safety more important, or is her being single more important? Of course, both are important!!
Because once Su Ziqing gets married, even if she gets divorced, her status as a second-time bride makes it impossible for her to become the future head of the family's wife.
The Gong family has rules that can be broken, but also rules that they adhere to to the death.
Gong Chengjue knew better than anyone else.
Su Ziqing had already given her approval to the old man, and the current patriarch Gong Changfan and Gong Changhong, an important elder of the Gong family, had also given their approval. Since they had agreed, the opposition or support of other family members was not so important.
However, all of this comes with a condition: you can break up, but you can't get divorced...
If Su Ziqing marries someone else, then it will truly be impossible for her to be with him.
He rejected both the possibility of separation by life and separation by death. He could not possibly allow Su Ziqing to marry someone else under the circumstances of a misunderstanding!
Gong Changhong looked at Gong Chengjue. Did he already have a plan in mind when he said that? And it must be a very dangerous one.
"what you up to?"
“Didn’t Second Uncle say they were going to have an illegal deal? I’ll handle that,” Gong Chengjue said, looking at Gong Changhong.
"no."
Gong Changfan and Gong Changhong both objected in unison.
Gong Changfan said with a serious expression, "I absolutely cannot let you do anything that puts you in danger."
"You can't go." Gong Changhong's expression was one of absolute certainty.
“I’m more suitable than anyone else.” Gong Chengjue looked at them. “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.”
Danger, of course, it is dangerous, but this may be a crucial link that allows them to strike directly.
"You want to catch Gong Changming in this deal?" Gong Changhong didn't even want to call him "Second Brother" anymore.
Gong Changming has completely lost his mind. Such a person is a cancer to the entire Gong family.
Gong Chengjue nodded.
"What if he doesn't show up?" Gong Changfan shook his head. "We're not sure if he'll personally show up."
“Even if he doesn’t show up, if I ruin this big deal, do you think he wouldn’t show up given how much he hates me?” Gong Chengjue looked at them, his mind made up.
He wanted to turn himself into bait.
"No, it's still too dangerous." Gong Changhong shook his head. He knew better than anyone how dangerous this was. It wasn't just putting his life in danger; it was practically gambling with his life.
Others can gamble, but Gong Chengjue cannot.
He was the next head of the family appointed by the old man.
Gong Changfan was merely a transitional figure.
The Gong family cannot afford to lose Gong Chengjue; otherwise, who knows how chaotic things will become? If things get even more chaotic, the Gong family may have to withdraw from the stage of celebrities.
Gong Changfan also strongly opposed it. Gong Chengjue's analysis was correct. However, they could not act so recklessly.
It was precisely because of these deep considerations that a long-term strategy was adopted.
However, the news that Su Ziqing was getting married completely extinguished Gong Chengjue's rationality.
Gong Changfan didn't know what to say.
Gong Chengjue wants both his beloved and the protection of his family. Originally, there wasn't much of a conflict, but now it's become a choice between two options...
"Do you have a better way?" Gong Chengjue asked, looking at them.
“A professional investigation team will handle this matter,” Gong Changhong said, looking at him. “The diplomatic process with foreign countries has already begun.”
Gong Chengjue shook his head, "This is too slow..."
“Chengjue.” Gong Changhong knew his reason for doing so, so he changed to a more tactful approach, “Miss Zhou…is actually quite good.”
As people get older, they see things more clearly. In fact, the Gong family all thinks Zhou Ruoling is a very good match.
Gong Chengjue shook his head firmly, "I only want Su Ziqing."
Gong Changhong wanted to say something more, but Gong Changfan gestured for him not to continue. Everyone has their own beliefs as they move forward, and for Gong Chengjue now, it is simply to be with Su Ziqing without any reservations.
"Uncles, although my proposal is risky, you must admit that if it succeeds, it can end the internal strife of the Gong family sooner."
Before the two could say anything, Gong Chengjue continued, "Do you think I'm any safer now? You might not even see me tomorrow..."
"What nonsense are you spouting?!" Gong Changhong glared at him.
Gong Changfan was also furious, "How can you curse yourself?"
But they knew it was possible; no one knew if Gong Chengjue would suddenly break down, or what the assassin would do next.
"I'm going abroad tomorrow to sign a project agreement." Gong Chengjue looked at them. "It's not like being in China."
