The villain is too crazy, the little ancestor is not going to do it anymore

Gu Jingcheng's change of words made Li Shenzhi feel helpless.

If you ask him directly whether he likes Gu Ranle, it is easy to answer and he can handle it easily.

But now, the lowering of expectations from "love" to "like" seems to relieve him of pressure, but in fact it has the opposite effect.

This is a life-threatening question, an elaborately laid trap. If you are not careful, not only will you be severely beaten, you may never be able to step into the Gu family's door again.

He was thinking about how to start the conversation.

"how?"

A meaningful sneer appeared on Gu Jingcheng's lips, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if he could see through people's hearts. They were fixed on Li Shenzhi, and every slight emotional fluctuation could not escape his scrutiny.

"Is this question too heavy or too light for you to ask?"

Li Shenzhi: “…”

He had never dealt with Gu Jingcheng before, and he didn't expect that he had such a sharp tongue.

It seems that the Gu family's blood not only flows with tenacity and wisdom, but also hides such a ruthless sharpness.

“It’s complex, not difficult to answer.”

Li Shenzhi's voice was steady and powerful, his dark eyes met Gu Jingcheng's gaze, and the aura emanating from his body did not diminish even though he could not see.

He spoke slowly: "My feelings for Gu Ranle go beyond the secular definition of 'like'. She is the light in my darkness and the hope in my despair. From the moment she pulled me out of the quagmire, she has been a part of my life. I respect her choice, and similarly, when the opportunity comes, I will grab it without hesitation. I hope to spend the rest of my life with her and get married."

Ah!

Upon hearing this, Gu Jingcheng sneered even more, with deep sarcasm in his eyes.

"Li Shenzhi, can you please have some dignity? If there is no conspiracy behind your words, I might believe you a little."

Li Shenzhi: “…”

"You secretly planned to acquire Li's shares, and due to the shortage of funds, you even set your sights on the marriage account of the two families. In order to get that huge sum of money, the only way is for you to marry Lele. So, this is what you call "love" that transcends the secular definition? That's really valuable!"

Li Shenzhi was powerless to refute because what he said was the truth.

But he made it clear to Gu Ranle from the beginning that the marriage was for the money in the marriage account.

The reason why I was so sentimental just now was just to leave a good impression on this brother-in-law, so that he would not be in trouble in his pursuit of his wife in the future.

Obviously, this sensational move not only failed to achieve a good effect, but on the contrary, put him in a more embarrassing situation.

The air seemed to freeze at this moment, and the atmosphere between the two was extremely tense.

But Gu Jingcheng did not flare up further. Instead, he took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress his inner anger.

"Li Shenzhi, listen carefully," Gu Jingcheng bit his teeth, his eyes carrying a warning, and he spoke word by word, "If you want to become the son-in-law of the Gu family, you not only need to be sincere to Lele, but also need to have enough sincerity and responsibility. You'd better put away those cleverness and calculations! If you really want to treat Lele, prove it with your actions, otherwise, you will never step into the door of the Gu family again!"

After saying that, Gu Jingcheng turned and left, his steps firm and powerful, every step seemed to declare his determination.

At the moment he was about to step out of the door, he stopped, without looking back, and just coldly said the last sentence:

"Leave my house immediately!"

The atmosphere inside the house was bad, and the view in the yard did not bring much relief.

Gu Ranle and Yunxi met for the first time. Neither of them was the type to get along easily, and they fell into awkward silences from time to time during the conversation.

In addition, Yunxi was in a state of anxiety and was distracted frequently, which made the conversation more difficult to proceed smoothly and there were many awkward silences.

Seeing this, Gu Ranle found an excuse and politely ended this awkward interaction.

Before leaving, she sent a message to Gu Jingcheng, briefly explaining the situation.

"Sister, where are you going?"

Passing by a mobile home, Gu Xiuyuan's voice suddenly rang out.

She turned her head and saw Gu Xiuyuan's head sticking out of the half-open window.

There was still foam on his head and water on his face.

Gu Ranle frowned, "Why are you taking a shower here?"

This is the residence chosen by Gu Yueming and Gu Lanshan, which only has two bedrooms.

"I haven't cleaned up my place yet, so I need to borrow Gu Xiao's bathroom to take a shower. Where are you going, sister? Wait until I finish my shower and I'll join you."

As he said this, he retracted his head and started washing his hair without even closing the window.

Gu Ranle: “…”

Is this something she can watch?

This kid really doesn't treat her as an outsider.

Gu Ranle knocked on the glass. "Close the window. Be careful of the paparazzi who are lying on a big tree outside the courtyard wall. If they do, you will be all over the Internet. I'll go to the pond and take a look. Come find me after you take a shower."

"it is good!"

Over at the pond, the survey has been completed.

It rained so heavily last night that even if there were some traces left, they were washed away by the heavy rain.

At the police station, the technical department conducted rigorous testing and confirmed that the surveillance video copied from the Gu family was intact, without any editing, and truly restored last night's thrilling crime scene.

At one o'clock in the morning, the night was as dark as ink, with wind, rain and thunder.

At this time, a man in a black raincoat quietly appeared in front of the Gu family's gate, looking suspicious.

Seeing this, the seven loyal guards inside the gate barked wildly, trying to drive away the uninvited guests, but their roars were soon swallowed up by the raging wind, rain and thunder.

After observing for a while outside the door, the man climbed over the gate and broke into the Gu family yard.

He held a big machete and started hacking at Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei soon fell powerlessly in a pool of blood, motionless.

He then swung the machete at several other innocent dogs. The entire atrocity lasted for 15 minutes and 39 seconds, which was outrageous.

After chopping the dog, the man did not flee immediately. Instead, he tried to break into the guard room, but found the door locked. After some efforts he failed, so he gave up and walked deeper into the yard.

At the same time, Gu Ranle, wearing a raincoat, hurried down from the fifth floor and plunged into the pouring rain.

She first went around to the residence of sisters Gu Yueming and Gu Lanshan, carefully checking whether the doors and windows were intact.

After confirming that everything was safe, she went to check on Aunt Wang's residence next door, and then walked towards Butler Zhao's residence.

Butler Zhao's residence was not far from where Wang Ma and the others lived. Just as Gu Ranle finished her inspection and left, the man appeared outside Butler Zhao's door like a ghost.

Just then, the lights in the house suddenly came on, and the man panicked and fled in a hurry.

He ran along a path, but suddenly changed direction at a small fork in the road and ran towards the pond.

Multiple surveillance cameras near the pond clearly captured him reaching the edge of the pond without retracting his feet, stepping on empty air and falling directly off the steps into the pond.

Not long after, Gu Ranle also came to the pond along another path, just a few meters away from where the man fell into the water.
