Chapter 232 Head-on Confrontation



The world has never been at peace, let alone now that things are really chaotic in Europe.

Gong Changhong and Gong Changfan exchanged a glance, and in the end, Gong Changhong gave the decision to Gong Changfan, the head of the family, "What do you think?"

Gong Changfan is more afraid of Gong Chengjue getting into trouble than anyone else!

He had no children, so Gong Chengjue was like his child. Moreover, he had promised the old man that he would smoothly transition the family business to Gong Chengjue.

"Let's talk about this after you return from abroad." Gong Changfan was still reluctant to let Gong Chengjue act as bait. What if, what if something really serious happened?

Gong Chengjue hummed in agreement. "Second Uncle." He looked at Gong Changhong and said, "There's a private matter I'd like to discuss with you first."

Gong Changhong looked at him. "What private matter?"

"Su Ziqing is not allowed to register for marriage with anyone."

Gong Changhong: "I can agree to this in China, but abroad..."

“As long as the domestic authorities agree, that's fine.” Gong Chengjue added, “If, if she gets married, I hope you can send someone to stop it…”

The act of sending someone to stop it wasn't just about one person; Gong Chengjue could do it himself.

Instead...

Just think about Gong Changhong's identity, and you'll know what he's referring to.

Gong Changhong looked at Gong Chengjue, "Send troops?"

“Of course, we’ll find a pretext,” Gong Chengjue said.

Anyway, he will absolutely not let Su Ziqing get married, never!!

"Third brother, just say yes to him." Gong Changfan looked at his nephew and never imagined that he was so infatuated with Su Ziqing.

“Okay!” Gong Changhong agreed.

Blocking Su Ziqing's wedding didn't make Gong Chengjue feel any more at ease. He stood up and said, "Then I'll go back first..."

Just then, the steward came to report that Gong Changming had arrived in a rage.

Since the old man passed away, most of the other members of the Gong family have wisely moved out. This is the Gong family's stronghold, but the head of the family is now Gong Changfan, not the old man. It's different now.

Gong Chengjue sat back down, curious to see what Gong Changming had come here so angrily for.

Gong Changfan looked at the butler and said, "Let him in."

Gong Changming, dressed in a suit, saw the three people sitting in the Gong family's living room. He smiled coldly, first glancing at Gong Chengjue, whom he hated the most, before finally fixing his gaze on Gong Changfan.

"What, I don't even have the right to enter my own home anymore?! You're acting all high and mighty as the head of the household." Gong Changming sneered.

"What are you saying, Second Brother? The rooms in the house are cleaned every day, and you are welcome to come back and stay anytime." Of course, it's only temporary.

"Heh, so it was just my imagination that I was being stopped at the gate?" Gong Changming sneered.

"What else could it be but a misperception?" Gong Chengjue said calmly. "We should have informed them of our return first. Uncle isn't always free; he has to keep everyone company if they want to see him."

"Chengjue." Gong Changfan coughed lightly, then looked at Gong Changming, "Second brother, what brings you here in such a hurry?"

Gong Changming glanced at the three of them, then fixed his gaze on Gong Changhong, his expression suggestive, "So I've already been sidelined? Even when things happen at home, I'm not allowed to participate?"

Some things, as long as they haven't been exposed, have to be kept hidden and concealed.

Gong Changhong looked at him and said, "It's just some family matters. There's no need to make a fuss. Besides, you're very busy these days, so how could I dare to bother you?"

“If you call, I will make time for you no matter how busy I am,” Gong Changming said.

“If it’s something important, of course I wouldn’t let you, Second Brother, be absent.” Gong Changhong said meaningfully.

Gong Changming snorted, "We used to be good brothers, but ever since the old man passed away..."

The hearts of those present sank. How dare he even mention the old man's death? He had caused so much chaos around the old man's passing!

"I was impulsive before, and now I apologize to you all." Gong Changming apologized inexplicably, leaving everyone wondering what he was up to.

"Changhong, Changfan, we're family, right?" Gong Changming said, trying to appeal to family ties after apologizing.

"Blood ties cannot be faked." As for feelings... is there really a family that drags its clan down like this? Gong Changfan's smile was somewhat fake.

Gong Changming looked at Gong Chengjue, "Chengjue, what do you think?"

"I dare not question the bloodline of the Gong family." As for his family? The family that spent hundreds of millions to buy his life? He dared not accept such a family.

Having gained everyone's approval as a family, Gong Changming suddenly frowned and asked, "Then why did you steal my business?"

Gong Chengjue feigned ignorance, "Me, stealing your business?"

“N City Port!” Gong Changming uttered these four words.

Gong Changfan and Gong Changhong looked at Gong Chengjue with puzzled expressions, as if asking what was going on.

Gong Chengjue, on the other hand, looked completely at ease. "The port of N City is under martial law. Everyone knows that. What's wrong, Uncle? Is there a problem with your business?"

Do I need to explain what the word "martial law" means?

At this point, if one is acting in accordance with proper standards, how could something go wrong?

"You had my goods seized, and then you immediately started doing business with someone else. Now my goods haven't even been delivered yet, but you've already stolen the order." Gong Changming glared at Gong Chengjue hatefully.

"Is Second Uncle joking?" Gong Chengjue asked, looking completely puzzled. "You mean I deliberately withheld your goods and then stole your customers?"

"Gong Chengjue, stop pretending!"

"I'm sorry, my business is too diverse, and there are many things I can't do personally. Which company are you talking about, Uncle?"

Gong Changming suddenly fell silent.

Gong Changfan and Gong Changhong looked at Gong Changming, "That's right, Second Brother, which company is yours?"

Looking at the three of them, Gong Changming suddenly realized he had dug a hole for himself. He pursed his lips and said, "It's not my company, it's your sister-in-law's nephew's company."

"Isn't this a bit biased, Second Uncle? In terms of family ties, I'm your nephew, aren't I?" Gong Chengjue smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. "Is Second Uncle planning to go directly to the head of the family to complain about me?"

"There are too many companies that use the port of N City. Second Uncle, just tell me the company name and I'll have someone check it out."

"So you're admitting you control over the port in N City?" Gong Changming sneered.

Gong Chengjue looked puzzled. "What? Has the family now banned individuals from doing port business?"

Gong Changming originally intended to come to Yin Gong Chengjue and, incidentally, continue to sow discord among the families, but upon seeing Gong Changfan and Gong Changhong, it seemed that they both knew about it.

His heart sank. Had the three of them really trusted each other this much?

The Gong family has its own family business, but since it is family business, no one would complain about having too much money. The scale of their private business depends on their own abilities, and this part is generally not known to the family.

Gong Chengjue actually confessed to his family? Isn't he afraid of having his property confiscated?

Doesn't he realize that when the N City port incident happened last time, could Gong Chengjue have kept it a secret?
