Chapter 96: The truth behind the Gu family incident, "The Secret Art of the Seven Stars"
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen seemed to be lost in thought.
"Is it that the leader of the Netherworld Branch is too low-ranking to know what's going on behind the Gu family, or am I overthinking it?"
"No, the system has confirmed that this dead baby is indeed a demon, and that the Gu family does have a terrifying background."
"I don't know what happened to make such a remarkable family fall to this point..."
He thought about it but came to no conclusion. He turned around and found that everyone in the Gu family still looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
The main reason was that they thought the situation was resolved twice before, but the situation was reversed each time. So even though they saw the dead baby escape this time, everyone still didn't dare to relax.
"There will be no danger for the time being." Jiang Chen waved his hand.
"Pack your things and come with me to Jiangbei City later. The relevant personnel will make arrangements for you."
"The Gu family would like to thank Master Jiang this time. We will definitely reward you handsomely!" Gu Youmin stood up and spoke with a bow.
Although he is over ten years old, he is well-built and looks more energetic than some young people.
Even though he had just experienced such a terrifying thing, his eyes were still sharp and bright, and he naturally exuded an aura that was intimidating. This was the performance of someone who had been in a superior position for a long time.
Jiang Chen looked at him calmly without saying a word.
Gradually, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Gu Youmin's forehead.
At a certain moment, he felt like he was standing in front of a man-eating tiger. The bloody mouth seemed to be hanging above his head, and it could swallow him up with just a slight opening and closing.
"Boss Gu, do you have anything else you want to tell me?" After a long while, Jiang Chen spoke.
"Master Jiang, can you please have a moment with me?" Gu Youmin breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as Jiang Chen stopped talking, the pressure he felt kept increasing, and he was almost unable to bear it.
"Xiaochen, what are you doing..." Sister Hong asked.
Jiang Chen glanced at her without saying anything. Gu Youmin smiled bitterly and said, "I have something to say to Master Jiang."
The two walked into the largest villa and went up to the living room on the second floor.
The rest of the people consciously either waited outside or went home to pack up their things.
In the reception room, Jiang Chen sat down with a swagger. Gu Youmin also sat beside him, a little hesitant. "Master Jiang, it's not that I don't want to talk about this, but knowing this person is like being infected with a curse that is difficult to escape."
Jiang Chen glanced at the Dark Alliance blood symbol on his arm, then touched his pocket, which had been filled with increasingly bright red and moist characters these days. He seemed to have confirmed something before nodding.
"you say."
Curses, he had too many.
"...Xiaoya should have told you about her grandfather. Back then, he didn't do anything wrong to be expelled from the family tree."
"He's crazy."
"My business was just starting to pick up, and one day my father said he wanted to go back to his hometown. I didn't pay much attention to it, but the next day I heard that he wanted to bury himself alive in the ancestral tomb!"
Hearing this, Jiang Chen's pupils dilated slightly.
It is indeed crazy for a living person to want to bury himself in a grave.
"No one could persuade him. The night I was born, my father told me that he was the one who would be doomed for this generation. For the sake of the Gu family, he asked me not to stop him."
"He had already developed serious mental problems by then, and I sent him to a mental hospital the next day."
"But when I finally finished negotiating a contract, I went to see him again and he was gone. I couldn't find him, and the hospital surveillance didn't show him leaving."
"I suddenly remembered what he said that night, so I rushed to the village that night and found two old men to go to the ancestral grave together. Sure enough, a new grave had been built there. When we dug it up, we found my father lying in it. He had been suffocated to death."
