"Anyone can set up a scheme," Gong Changming said, wiping the blood off his body. "Tsk tsk, so unafraid of the cold, how can he be worthy of being the next head of the family?"
"Okay, I promise you." Gong Chengjue finally said these words.
"Chengjue," Gong Changfan said sternly, stopping him.
Gong Chengjue looked at Gong Changming and said, "I can leave the Gong family."
"What a romantic," Gong Changming clicked his tongue twice. "But this is only my first condition. There is another condition."
Gong Changming looked at Gong Changfan and said, "Cancel the decision to expel Changsheng from the Gong family. Moreover, you are not allowed to expel my brother and me from the Gong family for the rest of your lives."
“You’re dreaming.” Gong Chengjue rejected his second condition outright.
He could agree to the first one, but the second one would be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains. Given Gong Changming's status, age, and business acumen, once he gets past this hurdle, Gong Changfan would be no match for him at all.
Gong Changming sat up straight. "You can consider it."
Gong Changfan, however, thought more deeply than Gong Chengjue and directly rejected the idea, saying, "Gong Changming, it's impossible for me to agree to both of your conditions."
It should be said that neither of these two conditions can be agreed to.
“I am the head of the family, and all decisions are in my hands. Forcing Chengjue to agree is useless.” Gong Changfan looked calmly at Gong Changming. “There is only one thing I can promise you, which is to let you leave the country and never come back.”
Upon hearing this, Gong Changming gave a cold laugh, "Gong Changfan, are you joking?"
Their eyes met, and Gong Changming said again, "Whatever, expelling me from the Gong family is fine, I have someone to accompany me anyway."
Then he looked at Gong Chengjue and said, “Don’t worry, I guarantee that every now and then, I will send you back footage of Miss Su’s scandalous scenes.”
Gong Chengjue stepped forward, almost striking again, but was stopped by Gong Changming.
“I’ll add some more to your bargaining chips, I’ll give you a billion, but you have to remove the kill order on Cheng Jue first.” Gong Changfan looked at Gong Changming. “A billion wasn’t much for you before, but it’s a lot for you now.”
Gong Changming, however, remained firm. He had never been afraid of Gong Changfan, and the person he wanted to talk to was not Gong Changfan, but Gong Chengjue.
“One night to consider,” he said.
Gong Changfan's expression changed drastically, "Gong Changming!"
"Gong Changfan, I'm not trying to be mean, but the position of family head you hold is truly that of a puppet." Gong Changming deliberately added insult to injury, "I don't even want to talk to you anymore."
Whether to expel him from the Gong family and hand him over to the police, or to negotiate, depends on their own thoughts.
Gong Chengjue left.
“Chengjue.” Gong Changfan followed out. “I have already sent all the members of the Gong family to search for Miss Su’s whereabouts.”
“It’s no use.” Gong Chengjue looked at Gong Changfan. “Uncle, he planned this step. He won’t let us find it easily. Even if we do find it… based on my understanding of him, if we don’t agree to his conditions, he’ll just kill us.”
Killing Su Ziqing in front of him, causing him pain, is something Gong Changming is absolutely capable of doing.
Hearing this, Gong Changfan fell silent. He looked at Gong Chengjue, understanding his pain, but...
“Gong Changming and the others have done so much, the family will never allow him to stay, Chengjue.” He secretly felt that he couldn’t let go of such an opportunity.
Why is everyone working so hard? Isn't it for the sake of the family?
Gong Chengjue looked at Gong Changming and said, "I understand."
He couldn't selfishly ask the family to be lenient with Gong Changming just because of him, and let Gong Changming stay in the Gong family. In less than three years, the entire Gong family would fall into Gong Changming's hands.
However, he himself could not stand by and watch Su Ziqing fall into Gong Changming's hands without trying to save her.
The thought of Su Ziqing being...
He can't calm down right now.
Looking at Gong Chengjue like this, Gong Changfan secretly felt that Gong Chengjue was too sentimental.
With such a large family, he was consumed by a woman...
But he also understood very well that he could not persuade Gong Chengjue.
Therefore, the only thing we can do is negotiate with Gong Changming, but we don't know how to proceed with these negotiations.
As the head of the family, he has his bottom line to uphold.
He couldn't just agree to Gong Changming's request...
"Your second uncle will be back by tomorrow at the latest. Why don't we wait a little longer?" We lost contact with Gong Changhong after that day, and now that such a big thing has happened to the family, we can only wait.
Fortunately, during the phone call that day, we mentioned that the results would be available in the next couple of days, and Gong Changhong also said that he would be back soon.
Gong Chengjue simply grunted in response.
Gong Changfan watched him leave, then returned to the room, intending to continue negotiating with Gong Changming.
What was most important to him? Getting Gong Changming to remove the kill order from Gong Chengjue's body.
Inside the room, Gong Changming remained calm, feeling confident of victory.
So when he saw Gong Changming return, he still believed that he had gained the upper hand.
However……
Gong Changfan, who was left with only two people, was not as easy to talk to as Gong Changming had thought.
On the contrary, Gong Changfan exuded a powerful aura.
What a joke! A person who becomes the head of a family is such a weakling that he can't even last a day, okay?
Gong Changfan is, after all, Old Master Gong's own son, not some random outsider. Having been influenced by his surroundings, he can even fake it perfectly.
Gong Changming crossed his legs and looked at Gong Changfan, "What, is there anything else you want to say?"
"Gong Changming," Gong Changfan uttered two words calmly.
"What, you're not calling me Second Brother anymore?" Gong Changming said sarcastically.
Gong Changfan lit a cigarette and handed it to Gong Changming, saying, "When I made the decision to expel you from the Gong family, the title of 'Second Brother' no longer applied."
Gong Changming did not accept it.
Gong Changfan stubbed out his cigarette and said nonchalantly, "Do you think you've gained the upper hand? Even now, do you still think you have a chance of winning?"
Gong Changming smiled, "What do you think?"
"There were some things I couldn't say when Chengjue was here, but now..." Gong Changfan smiled slightly, "Gong Changming, the condition I just mentioned is the only thing I can give you, as your brother."
"I've stated my conditions," Gong Changming shook his head, "If you can't meet them, then..."
"Go to jail?" Gong Changfan interrupted Gong Changming as if talking to himself. His face was cold, and he spoke threateningly, "You're overthinking things."
Gong Changming's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. "What do you mean?"
“I’ve learned some of your methods lately. Do you think I have no other choice, for example… to kill you?” Gong Changfan said the word “die” with his usual calm demeanor.
It was as if he were talking about something that was absolutely ordinary.
Gong Changming looked at him and said, "You couldn't possibly do such a thing."
