Chapter 6. Gu Sheng silently thought, hoping he would never...
Gu Sheng silently hoped that he would never have to use this gun.
He pushed the gun away, then took out the small box and opened it.
To Gu Sheng's surprise, the box contained a gun exactly the same as the one he had just used.
Do we need two of the same gun?
Gu Sheng picked up the gun from the box, and the moment he touched it, he sensed something was different.
This gun needs to be lighter.
Gu Sheng subconsciously thought that although the two guns looked the same, their internal structures were very different.
After thinking it over, Gu Sheng was stunned. When did he know the structure of a gun?
However, Gu Sheng immediately realized that since he didn't know these things before, the sudden appearance of this knowledge could only be due to the system.
This is a garbage system; it just crams useless knowledge into it, and the problem is, this knowledge is passively triggered.
Even if Gu Sheng actively tries to think about it, he still can't figure it out.
It's not just knowledge, but also abilities he didn't have before, which were passively triggered; he couldn't use them even if he wanted to.
Gu Sheng silently put the gun aside and pushed it away a little, afraid that his hand might suddenly make some movement again.
After mentally cursing the system, he looked at a card that had been revealed after he picked up the gun.
Gu Sheng picked up the card and looked at it, only to find that it was actually an instruction manual.
The instruction manual says that this is a specially made handgun that can use special bullets. People hit by these special bullets will go into a state of shock, just like they are really dead.
Gu Sheng thought about his new identity and roughly knew what the gun was for.
"Myself" would definitely use a real gun when facing bad guys, but this one when facing good guys.
However, Gu Sheng didn't want either gun. He put both guns back in their original positions and then locked the box.
I stared at the box for a while.
Gu Sheng sent a message to Li Jianshi.
He explained the situation and expressed his desire to hand over the two guns to him.
Li Jianshi replied to the message as quickly as ever, but what he replied was: "Keep it, we don't have any bullets anyway, just keep it as a souvenir for you."
Gu Sheng shouted in his heart, "Who wants this kind of souvenir?!"
Moreover, although the real gun was empty, the other one was. In addition to the gun, the small box also contained three items that appeared to be specially made bullets.
However, since Inspector Li had already said so, Gu Sheng couldn't insist any further, fearing that saying too much would arouse Inspector Li's suspicion.
In the end, he could only put the box back where it was.
Putting down his phone, Gu Sheng felt his mind was in turmoil. He was already troubled by the surveillance issue, and now he was even more annoyed.
Frustrated to the extreme, Gu Sheng looked at the surveillance camera in front of him and suddenly had an idea.
He followed the cable to the monitoring host, then brought over a basin of water and poured it over the monitor.
In a flash, the screen wall went dark.
Gu Sheng unplugged the power cord, then took the basin and left.
Let's leave it at that for now.
Let bygones be bygones; at least we won't have to worry about surveillance anymore.
After that, Gu Sheng began his house-hunting journey.
After looking at apartments with real estate agents for several days, Gu Sheng realized that finding an apartment was a real hassle.
It's so hard to find a house that suits your taste.
After looking at countless properties, another real estate agent called that day.
Gu Sheng lay on the sofa in the living room, not wanting to move or answer the phone.
Gu Sheng had already replaced everything in the living room. He was rather carefree; once things were changed, he felt there was nothing wrong with it.
He was exhausted after running around for so many days.
Gu Sheng suddenly felt that whether a house was haunted or not didn't seem to matter that much anymore.
Finding a house also depends on fate. Fate cannot be forced, and you can't rush it. So, just let it be.
The phone finally stopped ringing.
Gu Sheng sat up and picked up his phone.
As Gu Sheng held his phone, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't checked what Li Jianshi had mentioned.
However, before searching for that matter, Gu Sheng first searched for Li Jianshi online.
After quickly scanning the search results, Gu Sheng learned that Inspector Li's real name was Li Qingyue, and he was the youngest inspector in history.
The Chief Prosecutor is the third-highest-ranking officer in the Public Security Bureau after the Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner, holding a very high position. There is more than one Chief Prosecutor; Li Qingyue is in charge of major criminal cases and is considered one of the more powerful among the Chief Prosecutors.
Judging from the information found online, his resume is very impressive. He has handled nearly a hundred major cases without a single failure.
Some say he is the most likely candidate to become the next Commissioner of Police.
However, Gu Sheng felt that there must be some exaggeration involved. The so-called perfect record might just be that the failures were not made public.
However, just looking at the cases that have been made public is enough to demonstrate how capable Li Qingyue is.
Gu Sheng lay back down on the sofa, staring at the ceiling, his heart filled with uncontrollable anxiety.
Wouldn't it expose his true identity if he were to deal with such a powerful person?
Will Li Qingyue discover that he is not the person in Li Qingyue's memory?
What would happen if they were discovered?
Gu Sheng didn't dare to think about it too much. He silently decided to have as little contact with Li Qingyue as possible in the future.
After investigating Li Qingyue, Gu Sheng began to investigate what major events had occurred in the area where he lived in the past.
Gu Sheng lives in a place called Green Water Garden Pavilion, which is a relatively old villa area.
As a result, Gu Sheng only searched for "Green Water Garden Pavilion" and before even searching for the specific address, he already found some incredible things.
The first news item that caught Gu Sheng's eye was: "Shocking! The head of the Gu family was murdered in a revenge killing, and his eldest son and his family were killed in a gruesome manner."
This is a news article from ten years ago, accompanied by a family photo. Gu Sheng recognized the person sitting in the middle of the photo; it was the old man he had met when he first transmigrated. The old man in the photo didn't look that old yet.
The news article contained little substantive content; it merely introduced the Gu family and included a few netizens' speculations about the murderer.
The news report didn't specify the exact location of the crime scene, so Gu Sheng continued flipping through the pages and came across another news story that surprised him.
"Shocking! Two years later, the Gu family has been targeted by another vendetta. The new chairman of the Gu Group has been assassinated."
Gu Sheng clicked to take a look, and then discovered something that surprised him even more: the murderer who killed Gu's eldest son had not yet been caught.
The younger brother died later.
Gu Sheng looked through some follow-up news and found that neither of the two cases had any further developments.
Although there are news reports every year that the murderer has been found, they are all fake news.
In other words, the murderer has not been caught yet.
The murderer was clearly targeting the Gu family; Gu Sheng felt that he most likely had a grudge against Old Master Gu.
Looking back now, I wonder if Grandpa Gu arranged for Gu Sheng to come here to lure the murderer out of him.
Since both of Grandpa Gu's sons were killed by the murderer, the murderer would most likely not let go of Gu Sheng, this son who suddenly appeared.
However, since Old Master Gu is dead, no one knows what he was thinking.
Gu Sheng thought for a while and then thought of someone: Gu Hecheng.
If others don't know, does Gu Hecheng not know either?
He is the current president of the Gu Group. Does he have no thoughts about Gu Sheng, who suddenly appeared and took away his shares?
Maybe he deliberately let Gu Sheng stay here.
However, despite harboring various conspiracy theories in his mind, Gu Sheng actually had a good impression of both Old Master Gu and his adopted nephew.
Gu Sheng had only met Grandpa Gu two or three times. The old man gave Gu Sheng a very kind feeling. When Gu Sheng saw the old man, he would think of his own grandfather who had passed away.
As for Gu Hecheng, although he had only met him once, that one meeting left a deep impression on Gu Sheng.
Gu Hecheng looked like the kind of person who wasn't good with words and was very serious and proper.
Just then, a knock sounded on the door.
Gu Sheng was puzzled. Who would come looking for him?
Gu Sheng didn't make a single friend after he came into this world.
When it comes to people he knows, he can only think of Li Qingyue.
Could it be Inspector Li?
He opened the peephole and looked outside, then couldn't help but widen his eyes. Standing outside was none other than Gu Hecheng.
I never expected that the person I was thinking about would suddenly show up at my door.
Gu Sheng couldn't figure out what Gu Hecheng wanted by suddenly visiting, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should open the door or not.
Gu Sheng hesitated for a moment.
The knocking sounded again, this time much more urgent than before, indicating that the person outside was getting impatient.
Gu Sheng still didn't open the door, and then his phone rang.
It was an unknown number, but Gu Sheng instinctively felt that it was Gu Hecheng calling.
He looked out through the peephole and, sure enough, saw Gu Hecheng holding a phone.
Gu Hecheng must have heard the phone ringing; the door had to be opened.
Gu Sheng took a deep breath and then opened the door.
After seeing Gu Sheng, Gu Hecheng put away his phone and frowned, saying, "Why are you so slow?"
Gu Sheng said expressionlessly, "Toilet." After saying that, he ignored Gu Hecheng and turned back to sit down in the living room.
Gu Hecheng left the bodyguard outside, went inside himself, and then closed the door.
Gu Hecheng didn't sit down. He stood beside the sofa, placed his hand on it, and said, "Have they all been changed?"
Gu Sheng's heart tightened. Did that mean that nothing here could be exchanged?
To Gu Sheng's surprise, Gu Hecheng said, "You bought this? It's of very poor quality."
Gu Sheng looked at Gu Hecheng. Although his face remained expressionless, he was furious inside. What did he mean by "too low quality"? He had gone to several shopping malls to choose this. It was the best value for money in terms of both workmanship and price.
Gu Hecheng continued, "I'll have them buy new ones and send them over tomorrow. Let's make do with these for now, and then we'll find a craftsman to make a custom one."
What does this mean? Another batch tomorrow, and then another custom order? Does that mean buying one sofa three times? Is this how you spend money?
While it's true that you can spend money like that if you have it, Gu Sheng was very unhappy about being rejected like that, and he only replied with two words: "No need."
Gu Hecheng didn't insist. He simply sat down on the sofa with a clearly disdainful expression and said, "Whatever."
Then the two fell silent.
Gu Sheng glanced at Gu Hecheng and asked, "Is there something wrong? If not, hurry up and leave."
Gu Hecheng didn't answer immediately. He tapped the sofa armrest rhythmically with his index finger for a while before finally saying, "I just came to see if you're still alive."
Is this a wishful thought for his death?
Thinking back on his previous suspicions, Gu Sheng's gaze toward Gu Hecheng turned hostile. He had indeed deliberately arranged for him to stay here.
Gu Hecheng noticed the change in Gu Sheng's emotions. He looked at Gu Sheng, paused for a moment, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean any harm to my uncle." He paused and said, "I'm just not good with words."
Gu Sheng looked at Gu Hecheng with some surprise, not expecting him to apologize. However, Gu Hecheng was really bad at speaking, even worse than Gu Sheng.
Gu Hecheng looked at Gu Sheng and said, "You are the last bloodline of the Gu family. I promised Grandpa that I would protect you, but I never expected that you would encounter such a thing. I asked the police department, and they said it was just a common home invasion robbery. However, I think things are not that simple."
Gu Sheng was puzzled. What did "the last bloodline of the Gu family" mean?
Isn't Gu Hecheng a member of the Gu family?
Gu Hecheng continued, "I should have come to visit you after the incident, but I encountered some business troubles a few days ago." As he spoke, he rubbed his temples, looking like he hadn't been having a good time lately. "I just couldn't get away, so I delayed until now. I apologize to you for my negligence."
Seeing that Gu Hecheng was so agreeable, Gu Sheng didn't know what to say. In fact, he didn't need to apologize; those things had nothing to do with Gu Hecheng.
Gu Sheng chose to change the subject, saying, "You said it's not that simple, what do you think?"
Gu Sheng knew, of course, that things weren't that simple, but what Gu Hecheng said was definitely not the same thing that Gu Sheng knew.
Sure enough, Gu Hecheng said, "I believe this was done by the people who killed my father and uncle back then."
Gu Sheng was not surprised by Gu Hecheng's answer; he had guessed that Gu Hecheng would connect this matter with the two cases.
Gu Sheng said, "Your father and uncle? They're in this house..."
