Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Before everyone could realize it, Gu Shen had already started reforming the Gu hotel. At the same time, Gu Electronics was undergoing a drastic shake-up as well. Many of the higher-ups were quietly fired.

Although the commotion Gu Shen caused was huge, outsiders felt like he was just making futile efforts.

Gu Shen did not care about them.

If he wanted to see the light at the end of the channel, he had to endure the doubts and darkness of the channel itself.

However, soon Gu Sheng became the center of attention.

After running into someone and causing death, Gu Sheng drove away. This accident wasn’t suppressed in time to stop it from spreading out. Soon the driver’s identity was found out and put online, which dealt a heavy blow to the reputation of the Gu Corp.

Gu Shen sat in the office and listened to Gu Yi’s report quietly. His gaze landed on the phone screen. It happened to be the news report of Gu Sheng’s accident.

“Master, Old Master Gu wants you to make a trip back to the Gu Mansion tonight.”

Gu Shen looked up and put down the phone. A trace of coldness flashed past his eyes. “Get some people to keep Gu Sheng on the headline.Also, release some of the things he has done before to add fuel to the fire.”

Gu Yi nodded. “Yes.”

Gu Hai always had absolute authority in the Gu family. At night, everyone in the Gu family, including the relatives, arrived at the Gu family’s mansion on time.

Gu Yi drove the black Maybach into the mansion. Yan Xi got out of the car first, then helped Gu Shen into his wheelchair.

The mansion was brightly lit, and the street lamps on both sides were turned on. The warm yellow light looked very warm from afar, but when the outer layer was peeled off, what was hidden inside was coldness and ruthlessness.

Gu Shen held Yan Xi’s hand. “Gu Sheng is going to shift the blame to me. If you come back with me, you won’t be treated nicely. Aren’t you afraid?”

“What is there to be afraid of? You are with me.”

Yan Xi had heard about the accident Gu Sheng caused. To begin with, Gu Shen was not liked by Old Master Gu in the Gu family. If everyone blamed Gu Shen for what happened, Old Master Gu would definitely believe them. At the very least, Yan Xi could help Gu Shen say a few words.

“Stay with me.”

He wouldn’t let anyone bully his wife.

In the hall, everyone from the Gu family had already gathered around. Old Master Gu sat on the sofa, holding his walking stick without saying a word. As soon as Gu Shen entered, many pairs of gloomy eyes swept over.

Gu Sheng was the first to speak up. He looked at Gu Shen darkly. “My good nephew is finally back. Do you have to make us wait every single time.”

“Twas delayed by something at the company.”

“Alright, let’s not talk about that.” Gu Sheng stood up and slightly hunched his body. “Gu Shen, the Gu family has treated you well for so many years, right? I’m also your uncle, but in the end, you hurt me like that! Are you planning on getting rid of me so that you can take control of the assets under my

name?”

Yan Xi’s grip on the wheelchair tightened.

What a good “preemptive strike”!

Gu Shen’s tone was calm and he did not seem panicked at all. “What are you talking about, Uncle? We’re family. Why would I hurt you?”

“If you really treated us as family, you wouldn’t have hurt me and the Gu family! Do you know that because of you, the Gu family’s profits fell by 30% this time?! How are you going to compensate the Gu family for their losses?!”

Yan Xi glared at him coldly, almost gritting her teeth.

This was the first time she had seen Gu Sheng. His eyebrows were drooping and he looked gloomy. His gaze when he looked at Gu Shen was full of malice.

Ugly people were indeed malicious.

She was about to speak when Old Master Gu cast his gaze on Gu Shen. “No matter what, the Gu family is of paramount importance. It’s foolish of you all to fight and quarrel like this.”

Gu Shen nodded slightly. “You’re right. However, I didn’t do what Uncle said. Everything in the Gu family is connected. If Uncle gets affected, my company will, too.”

“Cut that crap…”

“Now that the matter has blown up, it’s best if Uncle admits having caused the accident. This way, he can still salvage the Gu family’s reputation and minimize the Gu family’s losses.”

Gu Shen cut Gu Sheng off. He looked over with a deep and solemn gaze, like a wolf cub that had finally revealed its original appearance after lying dormant for a long time.

Gu Sheng realized that he was terrified. He pinched his palms and said, “You just can’t wait to send me to jail and watch me die. Have you been coveting my company for a long time? Let me tell you something, I wasn’t the one who caused the accident and escaped. I have no idea what you are asking me to

admit..”
