The staff of the villa stood trembling in a line. Gu Liao sat on the villa’s sofa and looked at everyone coldly. It seemed that it was time to ‘clean up’ the people at the villa.

“When did the electricity in the villa go out?”

“About seven in the evening, Young Master. The sky had just started to turn dark.”

“What about the surveillance cameras?”

“Young Master, the surveillance cameras have also been destroyed. We-“

Gu Liao waved his hand and signaled to his subordinates next to him.

Everyone cried out in surprise and watched helplessly as some of the people around them were thrown out.

“There’s no need for any unfaithful people in the villa. If you feel that the working at this villa is not comparable to the others, you can leave now.”

Gu Liao saw that some people were getting restless and waved his hand. “Since you can’t make your own choice, then I can help you do it. Throw them out.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

In an instant, the crowd became smaller. More than half of them had been expelled. Most of them were first sent there by Master Gu, well both his parents, actually.

He didn’t miss out on anything or anyone, yet Xie Ru had not returned home. These people were expelled as he was hoping that the big fish behind them would bite the hook early.

“Young Master, the people from the Xie family are here, as well as the old master and the people from the main branch. They’re all here.”

Gu Liao sneered. How soon.

“What kind of people are the people from the Gu Family? Bandits? Why is my precious daughter so pitiful to be treated like this by your Gu family?”

Qin Zhen began to cry the moment she saw Gu Liao. Tears and snot flew everywhere as she completely disregarded her image.

“Nephew, although the Xie family is not good at handling matters, we still have elders in our midst. Our two families have always been on good terms. It was not right for you to send Xie Wutong to Gray Bar.”

“Uncle Gu, what does this have to do with you? Isn’t this a matter between me and the Xie Family?”

Uncle Gu’s face turned red in anger. “This matter between you and the Xie family is also related to the relationship between our two families. Don’t you know how many people saw you send Xie Wutong to Gray Bar? Do you still want to quibble?”

“Quibble? I don’t have such ability. But such a powerful man as Uncle Gu might.”

“You-“

Seeing this, Qin Zhen hurriedly shouted, “My poor daughter is still lying in the hospital. How pitiful.”

“Enough.” The Old Master of the Gu family shouted angrily and slowly said, “Since the Xie family has come to our door, we should also make amends.”

“Please speak, Old Master.”

Xie Zhen saw that his goal had been achieved, so he stopped while he was ahead. He pulled Qin Zhen up from the ground and waited for the old master to continue.

“The Xie family interfered in the marriage between the Gu and Xie families by using a blind woman to marry Gu Liao. Our Gu family has accepted this. Xie Wutong was willing to give Gu Liao the medicine, so she had to suffer the consequences. This is the truth.”

“Then how about the reason the Gu family hid Gu Liao’s injury?”

Qin Zhen cursed angrily. If not for this, they wouldn’t have brought Xie Ru back from the countryside. It would have been better to let her live and die there.

“Hide? The Gu family never said anything about Gu Liao’s serious injuries. How did you find out?”

Qin Zhen stared at him and said, “Of course, it’s those online-“

“I’m afraid Madam Xie has forgotten that without the Gu family’s help, the Xie family wouldn’t have been able to survive the crisis.”

“Old Master Gu, we have no other intentions. It’s just a project. We’ll settle this once and for all.”

Xie Zhen smiled and glared fiercely at the howling woman beside him. If she messed up his plans, he would make this woman suffer.

“How straightforward. As expected of the person in charge of the Xie family. Our Gu family has given up on this project.”

After reaching an agreement, Xie Zhen decided to leave with Qin Zhen. They didn’t stop for even a moment, as if there was a ferocious tiger or beast behind them.

“In that case, I won’t stay any longer. Goodbye.”

Uncle Gu took a deep look at Gu Liao, and the smile on his face grew wider.

“Gu Liao, be careful.”

“Yes, Grandfather.”

Old Master Gu gave a final word of advice and left in his car.
