Everyday people covet my beauty
Chapter 26
Qi has not left.
He was always curled up at the steps of the villa entrance, looking longingly at the windows on the second floor of the villa, those optical cards were still thrown at his feet, and Qi didn't even reach out to pick them up.
The sky was getting darker, orange lights were lit up in the windows on the second floor, and there was a light rain in the sky. The icy cold raindrops fell on Qi's face and body, condensing into transparent drops, which made him see It sounded like weeping.
The robot housekeeper in the villa used to come out from time to time to take care of the flowers and plants, and throw out some garbage in the villa, but every time it came out, Qi couldn't wait to stand up from the ground, looking at it pleadingly over the fence with his toes on his toes, So after two or three times, the robot housekeeper didn't come out, and there were only flowers and trees left in the garden, exuding the smell of grass and trees mixed with soil in the increasing rain.
When Gu Yuan came out of the dark night with an umbrella in the rain, Qi still squatted motionless on the steps of Gu Qingxuan's villa, which caused Gu Yuan's footsteps to pause slightly.
Why every time he came to the master's place, he could always see some inexplicable things on the steps?The last time it was a lunch box, this time it was simply a living person...
He looked at Qi with the light from the villa. When Gu Yuan's gaze fell on Qi, Qi's head, which had been lowered quietly, suddenly lifted up. He stared straight at Gu Yuan. A pair of pupils are almost like cold stars, shining brightly.
"Go away." Qi said coldly, his face was full of guard and hostility.
Gu Yuan didn't walk away, instead, he took two steps forward. When his footsteps reached the steps, Qi jumped up like a furry cat. He quickly raised his hand, The dagger popped out from his wrist.The color of this dagger was dull, and it was so dark that it couldn't reflect a ray of light. A faint shadow wrapped around the dagger silently, giving people an extremely dangerous feeling.
"Go away!" Qi emphasized his voice, he held the dagger firmly, and the black shadow cast by the hedge behind him slowly stretched, winding around his ankles soundlessly, climbing up like a snake all the way, and after a while , half of Qi's body was hidden in the thick darkness.
He looked at Gu Yuan vigilantly, Gu Yuan laughed mockingly, and a blast of extremely cold air shot toward Qi's wrist like an arrow.Qi's body turned slightly to one side, and he deftly avoided the cold air.
Gu Yuan let out a soft "Huh", his eyes aroused a little interest, he turned and flicked the handle of the umbrella in his hand, the water droplets condensed on the umbrella surface instantly formed into ice beads, and moved towards the Lasing away in the direction of Qi!
With several crisp sounds of "Ding Ding Dang Dang", Qi swiped away several ice beads with his dagger, but all the remaining ice beads hit him with crackling crackles.Qi's face turned pale, and the black shadow on his body rose like mist, but disappeared in an instant. From the ankles to the wrists to the back, a layer of ice quickly formed on most of Qi's body. Covered with light hoarfrost.
He still held the dagger in his hand, but after being frozen in the ice, the dagger was useless.
Gu Yuan glanced at the dagger in Qi's hand with distaste, and said contemptuously, "It's just a hidden guard who hasn't been trained yet... What right do you have to let me go? Have you found your master? Is anyone willing to recognize you?" ?”
The last two sentences were whipped on Qi's body like a whip.His eyelashes trembled slightly, and he glared at Gu Yuan angrily: "Father won't let me go!"
Qi said solemnly, like a declaration, but Gu Yuan couldn't help laughing because of his seriousness: "What? What do you call your master? Dad? What is your master like..."
When he said this, Gu Yuan suddenly stopped smiling. He looked at Qi who was standing on the steps like a hedgehog, and then looked at the lights in the villa not far away, and suddenly remembered that his master asked him about dark Wei's business.
"...He can't be your master." After a moment of silence, Gu Yuan said firmly.As he spoke, he observed Qi quietly, and sure enough, he saw the child's expression as if he had been kicked by a puppy. Gu Yuan felt relieved all of a sudden, and he said leisurely, "Goodbye, little one." Child, you are not qualified to crawl at his feet."
Qi continued to stare at him stubbornly, but Gu Yuan had lost interest in talking to him. He directly reached out and pushed Qi who was frozen in the ice aside, walked to the front of the villa and rang the doorbell.
"Master, it's me. I have something to report to you." Consciously or unintentionally, Gu Yuan used his body to cover Qi who was frozen in the ice not far away. He thought that Gu Qingxuan would not look up today. Yes, just doing it out of an abundance of caution.However, what surprised him was that Gu Qingxuan actually raised his head, and glanced behind him through the monitor.
"...Master?" Gu Yuan was extremely nervous, but his tone was still calm, as if nothing had happened.Gu Qingxuan took a look, but didn't see Qi's shadow, so he thought that the child had already left, so he lowered his head again: "Come in, I'll ask the housekeeper to open the door for you."
Soon, there was a soft "click" sound from the metal gate of the villa, and the gate that had blocked Qi for a long time opened back, and Qi's eyes widened suddenly.Gu Yuan was about to lift his foot to go in, when he noticed the look in his eyes, he turned his head and gave him a slight smile, then deliberately, slowly, walked into the door step by step.
And Qi was still frozen in place, obviously only a few steps away from the gate he had longed for, but he could only stand there motionless, watching the gate open and close, and the people who walked in just cared about it. It's just Yuanyuan, it has nothing to do with him...
"Owner."
When Gu Yuan walked into the room, Gu Qingxuan was leaning on the sofa and reading a book.He didn't wear shoes, and stepped barefoot on the long animal hair carpet. His skin was as delicate as ice jade, but his nails were slightly pink. When Gu Yuan knelt down to kiss it, he almost felt that he was blaspheming.
"what happened?"
Gu Qingxuan asked lazily, his voice was as soft and smooth as fine silk.He closed the book, and Gu Yuan saw that it said "Encyclopedia of Plants". Gu Qingxuan's long and slender finger slowly slid across the line of words, but Gu Yuan only felt that his finger was on the tip of his heart.
"Master..." As soon as the words came out, Gu Yuan was startled to realize that his voice was hoarse.
He looked up at his master, Gu Qingxuan's eyes were as black as glass, and he fixed him with a smile that was not a smile, but this one glance seemed to see through the turbulence deep in his heart.
Gu Yuan tried his best to calm down, but the white frost silently climbed up from the glass window, and the translucent ice patterns criss-crossed the window randomly and disorderly, just like Gu Yuan's heart.
Gu Qingxuan smiled softly, Langxuan was as touching as broken jade, he looked away indifferently, and beckoned the robot to bring a pot of tea.
"How is the Gu family?" Gu Qingxuan asked casually. Gu Yuan quickly lowered his head as if he had received a big order. Among the rose bushes, a cold and sweet aroma splashed.
"The conflict between Gu Congzhang and Gu Chen has been suppressed for the time being." Gu Yuan said in a low voice, "The package that the master gave me before... can you give me some more super power stones inside?"
"What do you want that thing for?" Gu Qingxuan took the tea from the butler, poured himself a cup, and gave Gu Yuan another cup.When Gu Yuan took the cup, his fingers accidentally brushed against Gu Qingxuan's. The soft touch made his mind tremble, but after reacting, Gu Yuan hastily suppressed the turmoil in his heart. He took a sip of tea and said as briefly as possible: "...I want to kill someone."
"Murder?" Gu Qingxuan seemed to be smiling, and his laughter made Gu Yuan couldn't help but take another big mouthful of tea.The warm tea was poured down, but it didn't extinguish the flame in my heart, but made it even hotter.
Gu Qingxuan rested leisurely on the long soft sofa, holding a delicate and delicate white porcelain cup, curling smoke came out of the porcelain cup, carrying a faint fragrance.
"How much do you want?"
These words made Gu Yuan's hands tremble unconsciously. Gu Qingxuan's indifferent tone seemed like he could give him as many super energy stones as he wanted!
He quietly looked at Gu Qingxuan, his master was raising the teacup and taking a sip, the light was shining on his hand and the teacup.Obviously, Gu Yuan's hand touched the porcelain cup, and he knew very well how smooth and delicate the texture of the porcelain cup was, but under the light in the room like mercury pouring down the ground, Gu Qingxuan's slightly raised fingertips were brighter than the color of the porcelain cup Run.
"If you want to kill someone, then one power stone is enough." Gu Yuan almost exhausted his life's greatest self-control to restrain himself from kissing the lustrous fingertips directly.He held the porcelain cup tightly, letting the slightly hot side of the cup burn his palm: "But if you want to kill a whole family, you need at least a hundred energy stones; if you want to kill a whole country..."
Gu Qingxuan raised his eyes and glanced at him: "A person from the same country?"
Gu Yuan was silent for a moment: "...Tianyao, the country that destroyed Adules."
"So that's it." Gu Qingxuan put the porcelain cup in his hand on the tea table, the sound of the bottom of the cup colliding with several sides made Gu Yuan's heart skip a beat.
"Greed is not a good habit." He sighed in a low voice, and Gu Yuan immediately fell to his knees with a plop, begging: "...Master..."
"Hush, drink tea." Gu Qingxuan shook his fingers, and Gu Yuan felt his heart sink to the bottom of the valley. He was about to speak, but suddenly felt a cool energy surge up from his lower abdomen. !
That energy surged from Gu Yuan's lower abdomen, and when it hit the Tianling Gai all the way, it suddenly turned around and turned around, as if a waterfall had emerged out of thin air, washing Gu Yuan from head to toe, and even his spleen and lungs were soaked. Feeling clean and thorough, he took a deep breath, and the pores all over his body seemed to open together, and his whole body seemed refreshed as if he had been rinsed with ice water in the dog days.
"This... this is..." Gu Yuan's eyes widened in surprise: He felt that his ability, which had just been promoted to the fourth level, had suddenly increased a bit, and it was not far from the level of the fifth level. !
Gu Qingxuan smiled slightly and shook the tea in his hand: "How does this tea taste?"
"...Excellent." Gu Yuan's mind settled down a bit, he lowered his head, looked at the tea in his hand in disbelief, and wanted to take another sip tentatively, but Gu Qingxuan flicked his fingers ahead of time, pouring out every drop of the tea in his cup. All that was left was turned into light smoke.
Gu Yuan couldn't help being a little disappointed, but because the master did it, he obediently put down the porcelain cup.Seeing Gu Yuan's disappointed expression, Gu Qingxuan said lazily: "No matter how good this tea is, it's a foreign thing. It's usable and you can't be greedy for too much. With your current ability, you can only digest it in one sip."
"If you drink too much and your body can't bear it, you will become...like Lu Qing that day."
Thoroughly exploded into a torn apart firework.
Gu Qingxuan took another sip of the tea in the cup: "How much of this kind of tea can I give you, enough to destroy the country?"
Gu Yuan raised his head in astonishment, he couldn't believe what he meant.He stammered hoarsely, "Master...Master..."
However, Gu Qingxuan just smiled back at him, and in the dazzling lights of the room, the person who smiled seemed to be a charming charm, irresistibly alluring.
When Gu Yuan came out of Gu Qingxuan's villa in a state of anxiety, Qi was still outside the door.
The frost on his body had already melted, and melted into water drop by drop. The rainwater mixed with the melted water had soaked his clothes, sticking to his body, and he could vaguely see his skinny ribs, which could be counted.
Qi crossed the iron gate and looked at Gu Yuan, and at the two-story building behind Gu Yuan, the expression on his face was frozen, but there was a faint longing.
Gu Yuan stood at the door of the villa and looked at him, the child was still holding a dagger in his hand.In an instant, a very tempting idea suddenly appeared in his heart, which drove him all the way to the door, squatted down near the gate, and asked the child in a low voice: "Do you want to come in?"
Qiyi looked at him without blinking, the vigilance in his eyes was so intense that he could hardly melt away.Gu Yuan didn't take it seriously, he knocked twice on the fence door, and said slowly to the child in front of him: "Do you know why I can come in, but you can't?"
The child still didn't speak, but the action of clenching his lower lip subconsciously revealed his inner thoughts. While pushing the door out, Gu Yuan said to the air as if talking to himself: "... Who would want a useless servant?"
He smiled and closed the fence door forcefully. Qi, who had taken two steps forward and wanted to take the opportunity to sneak in, was suddenly blocked from the door.He suddenly turned his head to look at him, but Gu Yuan didn't seem to care, shaking his head and laughing.
"You, you, what do you think you can be used for? It's just a hidden guard who hasn't been trained yet... Are you able to protect your master? Or do you have to be protected by him?"
Qi's hands were clenched unconsciously, he endured for a while, and finally couldn't hold back and said: "I...I will kill people!"
right!That's it!Gu Yuan's smile deepened slightly.He turned his head, looked at the thin and slender child whose back was as straight as a blade, and said word by word: "If that's the case, why don't you kill someone and show me?"
— Then kill someone and show me?
Obviously when Gu Yuan said this, his tone was normal, but it made Qi take a step back involuntarily as if he saw a poisonous snake spitting out a letter.He looked up at Gu Yuan, seemed a little scared, but still said loudly: "I will not kill someone for you! You are not my father!"
As soon as these words came out, the corners of Gu Yuan's lips tightened. An impulse drove him to look back, wondering if Gu Qingxuan would notice them at the entrance of the villa... However, if he turned his head away, , everything will be revealed in an instant.After all, this semi-finished dagger is just a child who doesn't know how to do it!The entanglement of interests between people and the work of coercion and temptation are not feasible for the secret guard. Even if Gu Yuan wants to borrow a knife to kill someone, he can only wear Gu Qingxuan's tiger skin.
What he gambled on was Gu Qingxuan's "won't care".
Gu Yuan hid his face in the shadows, the expression on his face did not fluctuate at all, but his hands were already quietly clenched into fists, and the palms were covered with cold sweat.
If it wasn't because he didn't have any power of his own, why would he try to lure a child in such a way.But besides this child, where can he find a knife that won't backlash, is absolutely obedient, and won't cause trouble for himself and his master?
"I won't force you, but do you really think that you can win the master's favor by waiting outside the door of this villa for a lifetime?"
Gu Yuan stared at Qi quietly, for a long time, Qi finally lowered his eyelashes, the long eyelashes covered his skin blackly, making him look even younger.
"...Who do you want me to kill?" Qi asked in a low voice, Gu Yuan looked at the dagger in his hand, and smiled softly: "I want you to...kill my father."
Qi suddenly raised his head and stared at Gu Yuan incredulously. Gu Yuan approached him with a smile, put his hand on his lips and shushed: "It's not the one in the villa, it's my master...how can I Will it hurt my master? In fact, I will not allow anyone in this world to hurt him... even myself."
He spoke softly and slowly, seemingly tender and affectionate, but his voice was clearly cold: "Come with me, little dark guard, if you can kill that person, my master will be very happy. "
After finishing speaking, Gu Yuan didn't look at Qi again, and walked directly to the end of the path.Qi hesitated behind his back for a moment, and finally bowed down!Picking up the light cards scattered on the ground, he cherished them in his chest, and then reluctantly looked at the lighted windows on the second floor of the villa, and they turned into a black shadow again, neither far nor near. The ground is dotted behind Gu Yuan.
In the villa, Gu Qingxuan suddenly raised his head and looked out.
"What's the matter, sir?" The robot butler asked him kindly not far away, Gu Qingxuan stared at the night outside for a moment, then shook his head: "It's okay."
"Maybe I feel wrong."
For a moment just now, he actually felt that the child named Qi hadn't left, but was outside the door, watching him from a distance.
Gu Qingxuan flipped through the book in his hand, but couldn't read it for a while, finally he frowned, and asked the housekeeper: "Is the child at the door still there?"
The robot butler went to have a look, and soon reported back: "He is gone now, sir."
Then it was obviously my feeling was wrong.
Gu Qingxuan didn't say anything more, but immersed his mind in the books in front of him: He has already experimented with some plants similar to those in the cultivation world, and he doesn't know if the remaining plants have special medicinal properties?
……
At midnight, the Gu family's old mansion has long been immersed in the quiet night.Gu Chen and his younger brother Gu Yang were not asleep yet, they were sitting around in Gu Chen's study, reading the documents handed in by Gu's family one by one.
To be precise, the only person reading the documents was Gu Chen, and Gu Yang was his assistant, handing him the documents or pouring a cup of tea.To be honest, the job of being a deputy really doesn't need to take up any attention, so after a while, Gu Yang slipped away unknowingly, and his mind was preoccupied with other things.
The previous rumors of "killing his own mother" did not affect Gu Chen's status in the Gu family at all, but a series of "coincidences" happened one after another later, making Gu Congzhang gradually begin to doubt Gu Chen's ambitions.
Everyone knows that for the crown prince of a family, no force from the outside world can destroy him, unless his father no longer supports him, the crown prince's golden throne will really start to shake... And doubts about the prince's ambitions are often the beginning of father and son's suspicion and relationship breakdown.
Do you want to seize this opportunity?Gu Yang quietly looked at his elder brother, Gu Chen had just finished reviewing a document in his hand, and was fluently signing his name on it with a signature pen.Skillful and beautiful signature, but the cold word "Gu Chen". He, Gu Yang, is also a member of the Gu family, but he can't even touch the corners of these signed documents!
It can be said that all the power of the younger generation of the Gu family is concentrated on Gu Chen alone. These brothers are also the heirs of Gu Congzhang, but they can't even find a place to stand.A better one like Gu Yang, who can still play the title of deputy, helping Gu Chen serve tea and water, pretending that he still has something to do, and a worse one like Gu Ya, even this false power is Ripped off without mercy.
Who doesn't want power?Who doesn't want status?Gu Chen was only born a few years earlier than them, so why should they be trampled under his feet for the rest of their lives!
Gu Yang was thinking about something, so he forgot to refill Gu Chen's cup.After Gu Chen signed a document, he put down the pen and stretched, wanting to drink some water to moisten his throat, but he drank it all.He frowned, put the empty cup heavily on the table, and said in a low voice, "Gu Yang!"
Gu Yang woke up suddenly when he heard his elder brother's shout, so he jumped up and said, "Brother? Brother! I'm here!" Glancing at the water glass in his hand, he rushed over and said, "I was blinded and didn't see it just now! Bro, do you want it cold or hot? Do you want a cup of coffee or milk instead?"
"The tea will be fine." Gu Chen said.
Gu Yang immediately rushed out the door with the cup in his hand. At this moment, a black shadow passed behind him quickly, and neither of them noticed.
Gu Chen looked at his nails, and thought of his younger brother's flustered look just now, he couldn't help but snorted softly, thinking: his younger brothers are really more stupid than the other, if they are placed in the family, they will be killed every minute. Those clan elders were swallowed skinny and boneless.Fortunately, I am here, able to protect them well...
Although I was a little tired, there was nothing I could do. After all, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!
Gu Chen was thinking complacently, but when he was thinking like this, he didn't know at all that his stupid brother was thinking about how to replace him.
Soon, Gu Yang quickly placed a cup of freshly brewed tea on Gu Chen's table.Gu Chen took a sip, and when he reached out to get the signature pen again, he suddenly found that his pen was gone.
"Where's my signature pen?" Gu Chen frowned and turned it over on the table, but he couldn't find it. He looked at Gu Yang: "Have you seen my pen? I put it here just now..."
Gu Yang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "I didn't take it, brother!"
"I didn't ask if you took it, I just asked if you saw it..." Gu Chen was talking impatiently when he suddenly heard an extremely loud explosion from a place in the Gu family's mansion!
"What happened?"
"What's wrong?! I seem to hear something!"
When the Gu family's sons rushed down from every corner of the Gu family's mansion, they saw Gu Congzhang standing in front of a pile of sparking broken metal. His face was ashen, and his hands clenched into fists kept shaking. ——The sharp-eyed Gu Chen noticed that there was still half a twisted and deformed thing that looked like a steering wheel among the pile of black scrap iron that could no longer see its shape.
Having just experienced a car accident, he immediately became nervous: "Father, are you okay? Is it an explosion? Get away from that thing..." Gu Chen said, walking forward quickly to get Gu Congzhang out of the side of the car When he walked away, his hand was stretched towards Gu Congzhang's arm, but their father took a cold step back in front of everyone.
"The thing that should stay away from me is you." Gu Congzhang looked at Gu Chen's eyes, as if he was looking at something disgusting: "I think you are so sad and confused, your mother's death is not me No mistake, you actually want to take this opportunity to kill your father!"
Gu Chen was really taken aback when he heard this: "I didn't! Father, you..."
"No?! Take a good look at what this is!" Gu Congzhang slammed the thing in his hand in front of Gu Chen. It turned out that this was the reason for his trembling hands before!
Gu Chen took a closer look, but saw that it was nothing but the signature pen he had just lost!He subconsciously said: "This pen can't be mine... I was still using it to sign just now... Gu Yang was with me just now, and was also helping me find a pen... If you don't believe me, you can ask Gu Yang, father ..."
However, when he looked towards his younger brother Gu Yang, he found that Gu Yang's eyes had moved elsewhere.
What does he mean?
Before Gu Chen could understand why Gu Yang refused to look at him, Gu Congzhang's voice sounded coldly: "Fortunately, I was in this car today. When the killer came over, I blew it up myself to save it. My old life! Gu Chen, Gu Chen, it's a pity that you did all the planning, but you didn't expect your old father to do such tricks in the car he was sitting in!"
"This matter really has nothing to do with me, father! I was just grading documents in the study!" Gu Chen racked his brains to find a convincing reason to clear himself of the suspicion, but when he found a sufficient reason, Before the evidence, Gu Congzhang had already stared at him sharply, and said in a cold voice: "Your mother's funeral has just passed, if you think she is too lonely in the underworld, and you must send another person to accompany her, I will be happy to help you." One hand, fulfill my son's filial piety to his mother!!"
He really believed that this matter had something to do with him!
After seeing Gu Congzhang's expression clearly, Gu Chen's back was soaked in cold sweat. He really knew his father too well. Looking at Gu Congzhang, he clearly wanted to kill him!
"How could I do this? Such an approach will not benefit me or the Gu family at all!" Gu Chen said without hesitation. He knew that he had no time to hesitate any longer, so he simply used the most intuitive theory of interests.He had hoped to dispel Gu Congzhang's suspicion a little bit, but Gu Congzhang's expression became more calm after hearing his words.
"My death may not be good for the Gu family..."
...but, to you? !
Thinking about it, Gu Congzhang looked at his eldest son with a very special eye. He now realized very clearly that Gu Chen had grown into a young man: handsome, young, talented, and... extraordinarily ambitious exuberant.
As his eldest son, his right-hand man, Gu Chen's status in the Gu family has always been only under Gu Congzhang.If one day Gu Congzhang had an accident, the candidate who could succeed him as the head of the family would hardly think of anyone other than Gu Chen. Everyone in the Gu family basically thought so, even Gu Congzhang had always been I think so, but today, this kind of thought that seems to be conventional makes Gu Congzhang feel trembling.
Gu Chen has grown up, but he, Gu Congzhang, is not yet old. A young man full of ambition and confidence, is he really willing to have another strong iron fist on his neck?Even if the owner of that iron fist is his own father?
When Lu Qing was still alive, Gu Chen, who had both parents, might still be used to treating himself as a child, but now that Lu Qing has passed away, can Gu Chen really still think so?
Gu Congzhang didn't dare to gamble, even if Lu Qing came back to life now and Gu Chen suddenly became seven or eight years younger, he wouldn't dare to gamble either.
He looked at Gu Chen, his eyes had become as cold as ice and snow, as hard as stone.
An extremely dangerous feeling made Gu Chen's scalp almost explode. Knowing that he could no longer speak, he quietly turned his gaze to his younger brothers, and eagerly motioned for them to stand up and say something for him. sentence.However, the younger brothers who had always been stupid in his memory suddenly became smart at this moment, and all of them shrank like quails and refused to make a sound.
Gu Ya, Gu Hai, Gu Yang, the three younger brothers Gu Chen looked over one by one, but they all avoided his gaze, and no one even dared to give him a comforting look.
Gu Chen only felt that his heart was frozen in his chest, and something as heavy as iron was pressing heavily on his stomach, which made him uncontrollably nauseated: he always thought that he was the only one in his family. Because of this, he was worried every day, and took the responsibility of several younger brothers on his shoulders... Now, it seems that he is the smartest person in the Gu family?He is clearly the only fool in his family!
Look at his younger brothers, how smart they are, how thoroughly they have done the four words of being wise and protecting one's life.
Gu Chen watched them sadly, but unexpectedly saw vague excitement in Gu Ya's eyes—excitement, his mother just died a few days ago, and now his elder brother was suspected by his father and was almost in danger, Gu Ya Why get excited now?Why can he be excited?
Almost instantly, Gu Chen suddenly realized the real reason for the silence of the younger brothers: the position of the Patriarch of the Gu family is so attractive, if there is a chance to occupy it, how could anyone be willing to give it up?The reason why they stood still and were respectful brothers and sisters was because for many years, the stamp of "the next head of the family" had always been blatantly stamped on him, Gu Chen, and the others didn't even have the slightest right to wishful thinking.
But now, Gu Chen seems to be about to fall, and once he falls, will Gu Congzhang, the next Patriarch of the Gu family, choose among those bloodlines that are [-] miles away?
With a "boom", Gu Chen's mind suddenly brightened. He suddenly understood that he was going to die today. His father, his younger brother, and all his relatives did not want him to live. He Gu Chen How can He De, how can he break free from the will of so many people?
Just wait, you all just wait, don't you think that if my father gave up on me today, tomorrow you will have a good end?
Gu Chen couldn't help laughing suddenly: he saw Gu Yang, the fourth younger brother who was still serving him tea and water courteously just now, with lowered eyes, carefully and greedily staring at the Gu family ring on his finger!
Gu family ring!This has always been a keepsake worn by the young master!So you actually have such a great charm!
"Gu Chen! What kind of nerves are you getting here all of a sudden! Where's your stability? It's all in the dog's stomach?!" Gu Congzhang sternly said, Gu Chen laughed softly, wiped his tears and straightened his waist, and took his hands from his fingers. Wiping off the Gu family ring that never left him, he was about to throw it fiercely on his father's nose, when he suddenly heard a gentle voice behind him:
"Patriarch, it is impossible for the young master to do anything that would endanger you, because in the past few days, the young master has been discussing things with me in his free time."
Gu Chen's movements stagnated, he turned his head in surprise, and found that Gu Yuan was slowly walking down the stairs step by step, he was rarely wearing glasses today, his pale silver eyes were reflected in the bright lights of Gu's house, it was almost It is as clear and beautiful as the moonlight in the evening.
When Gu Congzhang saw Gu Yuan's eyes, he was slightly stunned for a rare moment. Instead of getting angry, he lowered his voice and said kindly despite being angry, "What are you doing here?"
"Because the young master didn't do anything wrong." Gu Yuan said softly: "From last night's dinner until just now, I have been discussing with the young master about the construction on Carbene, and the young master knows that I have traveled there before. We discussed a lot of related issues.”
As he spoke, he actually turned on his personal terminal and brought up messy manuscripts for Gu Congzhang to read: "...I haven't had time to sort it out, but the situation has probably come out...Patriarch, young and old, it is really impossible for him to have time go do something else..."
Gu Congzhang silently stared at the projections of those manuscripts, or stared at Gu Yuan's eyes behind the light curtain through the blurred projections. No one knew what Gu Congzhang was staring at, but everyone could find that the raging fire on him The burning anger had never started, and it suddenly became smaller and smaller.
"He doesn't have time and can't explain anything! He might find someone else..." Gu Yang, who was most anxious, opened his mouth in a hurry, and quickly shut his mouth under Gu Chen's half-smile eyes. Shen glanced at Gu Yuan gratefully, then took a deep breath, and said to Gu Congzhang calmly: "If this is the case, father, it is impossible for my signature pen to appear here. Father, do you know that I am Yes, how could I do such a stupid thing!"
He gripped the Gu family ring in his hand with such force that he almost broke the ring in two: "...There is no doubt that what happened this time was that a villain with ulterior motives secretly planted me, trying to make us father and son centrifugal..."
Gu Chen pursed his lips, looked up at Gu Congzhang, his height was affected by his mother, he was half a head lower than his father, he used to be dissatisfied with this, but today he is very grateful.
Gu Congzhang looked at his eldest son, and found that although Gu Chen's expression was calm, there was an unspeakable sadness in his eyes that he tried his best to hide. He turned his gaze, but met Gu Yuan's silver-white pair s eyes……
The silvery white eyes are exactly the same as that of his hateful mother!
A wave of anger suddenly surged in his heart, but it quickly dissipated. Gradually, Gu Congzhang felt a little bit dispirited.
his mother is dead
He was always curled up at the steps of the villa entrance, looking longingly at the windows on the second floor of the villa, those optical cards were still thrown at his feet, and Qi didn't even reach out to pick them up.
The sky was getting darker, orange lights were lit up in the windows on the second floor, and there was a light rain in the sky. The icy cold raindrops fell on Qi's face and body, condensing into transparent drops, which made him see It sounded like weeping.
The robot housekeeper in the villa used to come out from time to time to take care of the flowers and plants, and throw out some garbage in the villa, but every time it came out, Qi couldn't wait to stand up from the ground, looking at it pleadingly over the fence with his toes on his toes, So after two or three times, the robot housekeeper didn't come out, and there were only flowers and trees left in the garden, exuding the smell of grass and trees mixed with soil in the increasing rain.
When Gu Yuan came out of the dark night with an umbrella in the rain, Qi still squatted motionless on the steps of Gu Qingxuan's villa, which caused Gu Yuan's footsteps to pause slightly.
Why every time he came to the master's place, he could always see some inexplicable things on the steps?The last time it was a lunch box, this time it was simply a living person...
He looked at Qi with the light from the villa. When Gu Yuan's gaze fell on Qi, Qi's head, which had been lowered quietly, suddenly lifted up. He stared straight at Gu Yuan. A pair of pupils are almost like cold stars, shining brightly.
"Go away." Qi said coldly, his face was full of guard and hostility.
Gu Yuan didn't walk away, instead, he took two steps forward. When his footsteps reached the steps, Qi jumped up like a furry cat. He quickly raised his hand, The dagger popped out from his wrist.The color of this dagger was dull, and it was so dark that it couldn't reflect a ray of light. A faint shadow wrapped around the dagger silently, giving people an extremely dangerous feeling.
"Go away!" Qi emphasized his voice, he held the dagger firmly, and the black shadow cast by the hedge behind him slowly stretched, winding around his ankles soundlessly, climbing up like a snake all the way, and after a while , half of Qi's body was hidden in the thick darkness.
He looked at Gu Yuan vigilantly, Gu Yuan laughed mockingly, and a blast of extremely cold air shot toward Qi's wrist like an arrow.Qi's body turned slightly to one side, and he deftly avoided the cold air.
Gu Yuan let out a soft "Huh", his eyes aroused a little interest, he turned and flicked the handle of the umbrella in his hand, the water droplets condensed on the umbrella surface instantly formed into ice beads, and moved towards the Lasing away in the direction of Qi!
With several crisp sounds of "Ding Ding Dang Dang", Qi swiped away several ice beads with his dagger, but all the remaining ice beads hit him with crackling crackles.Qi's face turned pale, and the black shadow on his body rose like mist, but disappeared in an instant. From the ankles to the wrists to the back, a layer of ice quickly formed on most of Qi's body. Covered with light hoarfrost.
He still held the dagger in his hand, but after being frozen in the ice, the dagger was useless.
Gu Yuan glanced at the dagger in Qi's hand with distaste, and said contemptuously, "It's just a hidden guard who hasn't been trained yet... What right do you have to let me go? Have you found your master? Is anyone willing to recognize you?" ?”
The last two sentences were whipped on Qi's body like a whip.His eyelashes trembled slightly, and he glared at Gu Yuan angrily: "Father won't let me go!"
Qi said solemnly, like a declaration, but Gu Yuan couldn't help laughing because of his seriousness: "What? What do you call your master? Dad? What is your master like..."
When he said this, Gu Yuan suddenly stopped smiling. He looked at Qi who was standing on the steps like a hedgehog, and then looked at the lights in the villa not far away, and suddenly remembered that his master asked him about dark Wei's business.
"...He can't be your master." After a moment of silence, Gu Yuan said firmly.As he spoke, he observed Qi quietly, and sure enough, he saw the child's expression as if he had been kicked by a puppy. Gu Yuan felt relieved all of a sudden, and he said leisurely, "Goodbye, little one." Child, you are not qualified to crawl at his feet."
Qi continued to stare at him stubbornly, but Gu Yuan had lost interest in talking to him. He directly reached out and pushed Qi who was frozen in the ice aside, walked to the front of the villa and rang the doorbell.
"Master, it's me. I have something to report to you." Consciously or unintentionally, Gu Yuan used his body to cover Qi who was frozen in the ice not far away. He thought that Gu Qingxuan would not look up today. Yes, just doing it out of an abundance of caution.However, what surprised him was that Gu Qingxuan actually raised his head, and glanced behind him through the monitor.
"...Master?" Gu Yuan was extremely nervous, but his tone was still calm, as if nothing had happened.Gu Qingxuan took a look, but didn't see Qi's shadow, so he thought that the child had already left, so he lowered his head again: "Come in, I'll ask the housekeeper to open the door for you."
Soon, there was a soft "click" sound from the metal gate of the villa, and the gate that had blocked Qi for a long time opened back, and Qi's eyes widened suddenly.Gu Yuan was about to lift his foot to go in, when he noticed the look in his eyes, he turned his head and gave him a slight smile, then deliberately, slowly, walked into the door step by step.
And Qi was still frozen in place, obviously only a few steps away from the gate he had longed for, but he could only stand there motionless, watching the gate open and close, and the people who walked in just cared about it. It's just Yuanyuan, it has nothing to do with him...
"Owner."
When Gu Yuan walked into the room, Gu Qingxuan was leaning on the sofa and reading a book.He didn't wear shoes, and stepped barefoot on the long animal hair carpet. His skin was as delicate as ice jade, but his nails were slightly pink. When Gu Yuan knelt down to kiss it, he almost felt that he was blaspheming.
"what happened?"
Gu Qingxuan asked lazily, his voice was as soft and smooth as fine silk.He closed the book, and Gu Yuan saw that it said "Encyclopedia of Plants". Gu Qingxuan's long and slender finger slowly slid across the line of words, but Gu Yuan only felt that his finger was on the tip of his heart.
"Master..." As soon as the words came out, Gu Yuan was startled to realize that his voice was hoarse.
He looked up at his master, Gu Qingxuan's eyes were as black as glass, and he fixed him with a smile that was not a smile, but this one glance seemed to see through the turbulence deep in his heart.
Gu Yuan tried his best to calm down, but the white frost silently climbed up from the glass window, and the translucent ice patterns criss-crossed the window randomly and disorderly, just like Gu Yuan's heart.
Gu Qingxuan smiled softly, Langxuan was as touching as broken jade, he looked away indifferently, and beckoned the robot to bring a pot of tea.
"How is the Gu family?" Gu Qingxuan asked casually. Gu Yuan quickly lowered his head as if he had received a big order. Among the rose bushes, a cold and sweet aroma splashed.
"The conflict between Gu Congzhang and Gu Chen has been suppressed for the time being." Gu Yuan said in a low voice, "The package that the master gave me before... can you give me some more super power stones inside?"
"What do you want that thing for?" Gu Qingxuan took the tea from the butler, poured himself a cup, and gave Gu Yuan another cup.When Gu Yuan took the cup, his fingers accidentally brushed against Gu Qingxuan's. The soft touch made his mind tremble, but after reacting, Gu Yuan hastily suppressed the turmoil in his heart. He took a sip of tea and said as briefly as possible: "...I want to kill someone."
"Murder?" Gu Qingxuan seemed to be smiling, and his laughter made Gu Yuan couldn't help but take another big mouthful of tea.The warm tea was poured down, but it didn't extinguish the flame in my heart, but made it even hotter.
Gu Qingxuan rested leisurely on the long soft sofa, holding a delicate and delicate white porcelain cup, curling smoke came out of the porcelain cup, carrying a faint fragrance.
"How much do you want?"
These words made Gu Yuan's hands tremble unconsciously. Gu Qingxuan's indifferent tone seemed like he could give him as many super energy stones as he wanted!
He quietly looked at Gu Qingxuan, his master was raising the teacup and taking a sip, the light was shining on his hand and the teacup.Obviously, Gu Yuan's hand touched the porcelain cup, and he knew very well how smooth and delicate the texture of the porcelain cup was, but under the light in the room like mercury pouring down the ground, Gu Qingxuan's slightly raised fingertips were brighter than the color of the porcelain cup Run.
"If you want to kill someone, then one power stone is enough." Gu Yuan almost exhausted his life's greatest self-control to restrain himself from kissing the lustrous fingertips directly.He held the porcelain cup tightly, letting the slightly hot side of the cup burn his palm: "But if you want to kill a whole family, you need at least a hundred energy stones; if you want to kill a whole country..."
Gu Qingxuan raised his eyes and glanced at him: "A person from the same country?"
Gu Yuan was silent for a moment: "...Tianyao, the country that destroyed Adules."
"So that's it." Gu Qingxuan put the porcelain cup in his hand on the tea table, the sound of the bottom of the cup colliding with several sides made Gu Yuan's heart skip a beat.
"Greed is not a good habit." He sighed in a low voice, and Gu Yuan immediately fell to his knees with a plop, begging: "...Master..."
"Hush, drink tea." Gu Qingxuan shook his fingers, and Gu Yuan felt his heart sink to the bottom of the valley. He was about to speak, but suddenly felt a cool energy surge up from his lower abdomen. !
That energy surged from Gu Yuan's lower abdomen, and when it hit the Tianling Gai all the way, it suddenly turned around and turned around, as if a waterfall had emerged out of thin air, washing Gu Yuan from head to toe, and even his spleen and lungs were soaked. Feeling clean and thorough, he took a deep breath, and the pores all over his body seemed to open together, and his whole body seemed refreshed as if he had been rinsed with ice water in the dog days.
"This... this is..." Gu Yuan's eyes widened in surprise: He felt that his ability, which had just been promoted to the fourth level, had suddenly increased a bit, and it was not far from the level of the fifth level. !
Gu Qingxuan smiled slightly and shook the tea in his hand: "How does this tea taste?"
"...Excellent." Gu Yuan's mind settled down a bit, he lowered his head, looked at the tea in his hand in disbelief, and wanted to take another sip tentatively, but Gu Qingxuan flicked his fingers ahead of time, pouring out every drop of the tea in his cup. All that was left was turned into light smoke.
Gu Yuan couldn't help being a little disappointed, but because the master did it, he obediently put down the porcelain cup.Seeing Gu Yuan's disappointed expression, Gu Qingxuan said lazily: "No matter how good this tea is, it's a foreign thing. It's usable and you can't be greedy for too much. With your current ability, you can only digest it in one sip."
"If you drink too much and your body can't bear it, you will become...like Lu Qing that day."
Thoroughly exploded into a torn apart firework.
Gu Qingxuan took another sip of the tea in the cup: "How much of this kind of tea can I give you, enough to destroy the country?"
Gu Yuan raised his head in astonishment, he couldn't believe what he meant.He stammered hoarsely, "Master...Master..."
However, Gu Qingxuan just smiled back at him, and in the dazzling lights of the room, the person who smiled seemed to be a charming charm, irresistibly alluring.
When Gu Yuan came out of Gu Qingxuan's villa in a state of anxiety, Qi was still outside the door.
The frost on his body had already melted, and melted into water drop by drop. The rainwater mixed with the melted water had soaked his clothes, sticking to his body, and he could vaguely see his skinny ribs, which could be counted.
Qi crossed the iron gate and looked at Gu Yuan, and at the two-story building behind Gu Yuan, the expression on his face was frozen, but there was a faint longing.
Gu Yuan stood at the door of the villa and looked at him, the child was still holding a dagger in his hand.In an instant, a very tempting idea suddenly appeared in his heart, which drove him all the way to the door, squatted down near the gate, and asked the child in a low voice: "Do you want to come in?"
Qiyi looked at him without blinking, the vigilance in his eyes was so intense that he could hardly melt away.Gu Yuan didn't take it seriously, he knocked twice on the fence door, and said slowly to the child in front of him: "Do you know why I can come in, but you can't?"
The child still didn't speak, but the action of clenching his lower lip subconsciously revealed his inner thoughts. While pushing the door out, Gu Yuan said to the air as if talking to himself: "... Who would want a useless servant?"
He smiled and closed the fence door forcefully. Qi, who had taken two steps forward and wanted to take the opportunity to sneak in, was suddenly blocked from the door.He suddenly turned his head to look at him, but Gu Yuan didn't seem to care, shaking his head and laughing.
"You, you, what do you think you can be used for? It's just a hidden guard who hasn't been trained yet... Are you able to protect your master? Or do you have to be protected by him?"
Qi's hands were clenched unconsciously, he endured for a while, and finally couldn't hold back and said: "I...I will kill people!"
right!That's it!Gu Yuan's smile deepened slightly.He turned his head, looked at the thin and slender child whose back was as straight as a blade, and said word by word: "If that's the case, why don't you kill someone and show me?"
— Then kill someone and show me?
Obviously when Gu Yuan said this, his tone was normal, but it made Qi take a step back involuntarily as if he saw a poisonous snake spitting out a letter.He looked up at Gu Yuan, seemed a little scared, but still said loudly: "I will not kill someone for you! You are not my father!"
As soon as these words came out, the corners of Gu Yuan's lips tightened. An impulse drove him to look back, wondering if Gu Qingxuan would notice them at the entrance of the villa... However, if he turned his head away, , everything will be revealed in an instant.After all, this semi-finished dagger is just a child who doesn't know how to do it!The entanglement of interests between people and the work of coercion and temptation are not feasible for the secret guard. Even if Gu Yuan wants to borrow a knife to kill someone, he can only wear Gu Qingxuan's tiger skin.
What he gambled on was Gu Qingxuan's "won't care".
Gu Yuan hid his face in the shadows, the expression on his face did not fluctuate at all, but his hands were already quietly clenched into fists, and the palms were covered with cold sweat.
If it wasn't because he didn't have any power of his own, why would he try to lure a child in such a way.But besides this child, where can he find a knife that won't backlash, is absolutely obedient, and won't cause trouble for himself and his master?
"I won't force you, but do you really think that you can win the master's favor by waiting outside the door of this villa for a lifetime?"
Gu Yuan stared at Qi quietly, for a long time, Qi finally lowered his eyelashes, the long eyelashes covered his skin blackly, making him look even younger.
"...Who do you want me to kill?" Qi asked in a low voice, Gu Yuan looked at the dagger in his hand, and smiled softly: "I want you to...kill my father."
Qi suddenly raised his head and stared at Gu Yuan incredulously. Gu Yuan approached him with a smile, put his hand on his lips and shushed: "It's not the one in the villa, it's my master...how can I Will it hurt my master? In fact, I will not allow anyone in this world to hurt him... even myself."
He spoke softly and slowly, seemingly tender and affectionate, but his voice was clearly cold: "Come with me, little dark guard, if you can kill that person, my master will be very happy. "
After finishing speaking, Gu Yuan didn't look at Qi again, and walked directly to the end of the path.Qi hesitated behind his back for a moment, and finally bowed down!Picking up the light cards scattered on the ground, he cherished them in his chest, and then reluctantly looked at the lighted windows on the second floor of the villa, and they turned into a black shadow again, neither far nor near. The ground is dotted behind Gu Yuan.
In the villa, Gu Qingxuan suddenly raised his head and looked out.
"What's the matter, sir?" The robot butler asked him kindly not far away, Gu Qingxuan stared at the night outside for a moment, then shook his head: "It's okay."
"Maybe I feel wrong."
For a moment just now, he actually felt that the child named Qi hadn't left, but was outside the door, watching him from a distance.
Gu Qingxuan flipped through the book in his hand, but couldn't read it for a while, finally he frowned, and asked the housekeeper: "Is the child at the door still there?"
The robot butler went to have a look, and soon reported back: "He is gone now, sir."
Then it was obviously my feeling was wrong.
Gu Qingxuan didn't say anything more, but immersed his mind in the books in front of him: He has already experimented with some plants similar to those in the cultivation world, and he doesn't know if the remaining plants have special medicinal properties?
……
At midnight, the Gu family's old mansion has long been immersed in the quiet night.Gu Chen and his younger brother Gu Yang were not asleep yet, they were sitting around in Gu Chen's study, reading the documents handed in by Gu's family one by one.
To be precise, the only person reading the documents was Gu Chen, and Gu Yang was his assistant, handing him the documents or pouring a cup of tea.To be honest, the job of being a deputy really doesn't need to take up any attention, so after a while, Gu Yang slipped away unknowingly, and his mind was preoccupied with other things.
The previous rumors of "killing his own mother" did not affect Gu Chen's status in the Gu family at all, but a series of "coincidences" happened one after another later, making Gu Congzhang gradually begin to doubt Gu Chen's ambitions.
Everyone knows that for the crown prince of a family, no force from the outside world can destroy him, unless his father no longer supports him, the crown prince's golden throne will really start to shake... And doubts about the prince's ambitions are often the beginning of father and son's suspicion and relationship breakdown.
Do you want to seize this opportunity?Gu Yang quietly looked at his elder brother, Gu Chen had just finished reviewing a document in his hand, and was fluently signing his name on it with a signature pen.Skillful and beautiful signature, but the cold word "Gu Chen". He, Gu Yang, is also a member of the Gu family, but he can't even touch the corners of these signed documents!
It can be said that all the power of the younger generation of the Gu family is concentrated on Gu Chen alone. These brothers are also the heirs of Gu Congzhang, but they can't even find a place to stand.A better one like Gu Yang, who can still play the title of deputy, helping Gu Chen serve tea and water, pretending that he still has something to do, and a worse one like Gu Ya, even this false power is Ripped off without mercy.
Who doesn't want power?Who doesn't want status?Gu Chen was only born a few years earlier than them, so why should they be trampled under his feet for the rest of their lives!
Gu Yang was thinking about something, so he forgot to refill Gu Chen's cup.After Gu Chen signed a document, he put down the pen and stretched, wanting to drink some water to moisten his throat, but he drank it all.He frowned, put the empty cup heavily on the table, and said in a low voice, "Gu Yang!"
Gu Yang woke up suddenly when he heard his elder brother's shout, so he jumped up and said, "Brother? Brother! I'm here!" Glancing at the water glass in his hand, he rushed over and said, "I was blinded and didn't see it just now! Bro, do you want it cold or hot? Do you want a cup of coffee or milk instead?"
"The tea will be fine." Gu Chen said.
Gu Yang immediately rushed out the door with the cup in his hand. At this moment, a black shadow passed behind him quickly, and neither of them noticed.
Gu Chen looked at his nails, and thought of his younger brother's flustered look just now, he couldn't help but snorted softly, thinking: his younger brothers are really more stupid than the other, if they are placed in the family, they will be killed every minute. Those clan elders were swallowed skinny and boneless.Fortunately, I am here, able to protect them well...
Although I was a little tired, there was nothing I could do. After all, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!
Gu Chen was thinking complacently, but when he was thinking like this, he didn't know at all that his stupid brother was thinking about how to replace him.
Soon, Gu Yang quickly placed a cup of freshly brewed tea on Gu Chen's table.Gu Chen took a sip, and when he reached out to get the signature pen again, he suddenly found that his pen was gone.
"Where's my signature pen?" Gu Chen frowned and turned it over on the table, but he couldn't find it. He looked at Gu Yang: "Have you seen my pen? I put it here just now..."
Gu Yang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "I didn't take it, brother!"
"I didn't ask if you took it, I just asked if you saw it..." Gu Chen was talking impatiently when he suddenly heard an extremely loud explosion from a place in the Gu family's mansion!
"What happened?"
"What's wrong?! I seem to hear something!"
When the Gu family's sons rushed down from every corner of the Gu family's mansion, they saw Gu Congzhang standing in front of a pile of sparking broken metal. His face was ashen, and his hands clenched into fists kept shaking. ——The sharp-eyed Gu Chen noticed that there was still half a twisted and deformed thing that looked like a steering wheel among the pile of black scrap iron that could no longer see its shape.
Having just experienced a car accident, he immediately became nervous: "Father, are you okay? Is it an explosion? Get away from that thing..." Gu Chen said, walking forward quickly to get Gu Congzhang out of the side of the car When he walked away, his hand was stretched towards Gu Congzhang's arm, but their father took a cold step back in front of everyone.
"The thing that should stay away from me is you." Gu Congzhang looked at Gu Chen's eyes, as if he was looking at something disgusting: "I think you are so sad and confused, your mother's death is not me No mistake, you actually want to take this opportunity to kill your father!"
Gu Chen was really taken aback when he heard this: "I didn't! Father, you..."
"No?! Take a good look at what this is!" Gu Congzhang slammed the thing in his hand in front of Gu Chen. It turned out that this was the reason for his trembling hands before!
Gu Chen took a closer look, but saw that it was nothing but the signature pen he had just lost!He subconsciously said: "This pen can't be mine... I was still using it to sign just now... Gu Yang was with me just now, and was also helping me find a pen... If you don't believe me, you can ask Gu Yang, father ..."
However, when he looked towards his younger brother Gu Yang, he found that Gu Yang's eyes had moved elsewhere.
What does he mean?
Before Gu Chen could understand why Gu Yang refused to look at him, Gu Congzhang's voice sounded coldly: "Fortunately, I was in this car today. When the killer came over, I blew it up myself to save it. My old life! Gu Chen, Gu Chen, it's a pity that you did all the planning, but you didn't expect your old father to do such tricks in the car he was sitting in!"
"This matter really has nothing to do with me, father! I was just grading documents in the study!" Gu Chen racked his brains to find a convincing reason to clear himself of the suspicion, but when he found a sufficient reason, Before the evidence, Gu Congzhang had already stared at him sharply, and said in a cold voice: "Your mother's funeral has just passed, if you think she is too lonely in the underworld, and you must send another person to accompany her, I will be happy to help you." One hand, fulfill my son's filial piety to his mother!!"
He really believed that this matter had something to do with him!
After seeing Gu Congzhang's expression clearly, Gu Chen's back was soaked in cold sweat. He really knew his father too well. Looking at Gu Congzhang, he clearly wanted to kill him!
"How could I do this? Such an approach will not benefit me or the Gu family at all!" Gu Chen said without hesitation. He knew that he had no time to hesitate any longer, so he simply used the most intuitive theory of interests.He had hoped to dispel Gu Congzhang's suspicion a little bit, but Gu Congzhang's expression became more calm after hearing his words.
"My death may not be good for the Gu family..."
...but, to you? !
Thinking about it, Gu Congzhang looked at his eldest son with a very special eye. He now realized very clearly that Gu Chen had grown into a young man: handsome, young, talented, and... extraordinarily ambitious exuberant.
As his eldest son, his right-hand man, Gu Chen's status in the Gu family has always been only under Gu Congzhang.If one day Gu Congzhang had an accident, the candidate who could succeed him as the head of the family would hardly think of anyone other than Gu Chen. Everyone in the Gu family basically thought so, even Gu Congzhang had always been I think so, but today, this kind of thought that seems to be conventional makes Gu Congzhang feel trembling.
Gu Chen has grown up, but he, Gu Congzhang, is not yet old. A young man full of ambition and confidence, is he really willing to have another strong iron fist on his neck?Even if the owner of that iron fist is his own father?
When Lu Qing was still alive, Gu Chen, who had both parents, might still be used to treating himself as a child, but now that Lu Qing has passed away, can Gu Chen really still think so?
Gu Congzhang didn't dare to gamble, even if Lu Qing came back to life now and Gu Chen suddenly became seven or eight years younger, he wouldn't dare to gamble either.
He looked at Gu Chen, his eyes had become as cold as ice and snow, as hard as stone.
An extremely dangerous feeling made Gu Chen's scalp almost explode. Knowing that he could no longer speak, he quietly turned his gaze to his younger brothers, and eagerly motioned for them to stand up and say something for him. sentence.However, the younger brothers who had always been stupid in his memory suddenly became smart at this moment, and all of them shrank like quails and refused to make a sound.
Gu Ya, Gu Hai, Gu Yang, the three younger brothers Gu Chen looked over one by one, but they all avoided his gaze, and no one even dared to give him a comforting look.
Gu Chen only felt that his heart was frozen in his chest, and something as heavy as iron was pressing heavily on his stomach, which made him uncontrollably nauseated: he always thought that he was the only one in his family. Because of this, he was worried every day, and took the responsibility of several younger brothers on his shoulders... Now, it seems that he is the smartest person in the Gu family?He is clearly the only fool in his family!
Look at his younger brothers, how smart they are, how thoroughly they have done the four words of being wise and protecting one's life.
Gu Chen watched them sadly, but unexpectedly saw vague excitement in Gu Ya's eyes—excitement, his mother just died a few days ago, and now his elder brother was suspected by his father and was almost in danger, Gu Ya Why get excited now?Why can he be excited?
Almost instantly, Gu Chen suddenly realized the real reason for the silence of the younger brothers: the position of the Patriarch of the Gu family is so attractive, if there is a chance to occupy it, how could anyone be willing to give it up?The reason why they stood still and were respectful brothers and sisters was because for many years, the stamp of "the next head of the family" had always been blatantly stamped on him, Gu Chen, and the others didn't even have the slightest right to wishful thinking.
But now, Gu Chen seems to be about to fall, and once he falls, will Gu Congzhang, the next Patriarch of the Gu family, choose among those bloodlines that are [-] miles away?
With a "boom", Gu Chen's mind suddenly brightened. He suddenly understood that he was going to die today. His father, his younger brother, and all his relatives did not want him to live. He Gu Chen How can He De, how can he break free from the will of so many people?
Just wait, you all just wait, don't you think that if my father gave up on me today, tomorrow you will have a good end?
Gu Chen couldn't help laughing suddenly: he saw Gu Yang, the fourth younger brother who was still serving him tea and water courteously just now, with lowered eyes, carefully and greedily staring at the Gu family ring on his finger!
Gu family ring!This has always been a keepsake worn by the young master!So you actually have such a great charm!
"Gu Chen! What kind of nerves are you getting here all of a sudden! Where's your stability? It's all in the dog's stomach?!" Gu Congzhang sternly said, Gu Chen laughed softly, wiped his tears and straightened his waist, and took his hands from his fingers. Wiping off the Gu family ring that never left him, he was about to throw it fiercely on his father's nose, when he suddenly heard a gentle voice behind him:
"Patriarch, it is impossible for the young master to do anything that would endanger you, because in the past few days, the young master has been discussing things with me in his free time."
Gu Chen's movements stagnated, he turned his head in surprise, and found that Gu Yuan was slowly walking down the stairs step by step, he was rarely wearing glasses today, his pale silver eyes were reflected in the bright lights of Gu's house, it was almost It is as clear and beautiful as the moonlight in the evening.
When Gu Congzhang saw Gu Yuan's eyes, he was slightly stunned for a rare moment. Instead of getting angry, he lowered his voice and said kindly despite being angry, "What are you doing here?"
"Because the young master didn't do anything wrong." Gu Yuan said softly: "From last night's dinner until just now, I have been discussing with the young master about the construction on Carbene, and the young master knows that I have traveled there before. We discussed a lot of related issues.”
As he spoke, he actually turned on his personal terminal and brought up messy manuscripts for Gu Congzhang to read: "...I haven't had time to sort it out, but the situation has probably come out...Patriarch, young and old, it is really impossible for him to have time go do something else..."
Gu Congzhang silently stared at the projections of those manuscripts, or stared at Gu Yuan's eyes behind the light curtain through the blurred projections. No one knew what Gu Congzhang was staring at, but everyone could find that the raging fire on him The burning anger had never started, and it suddenly became smaller and smaller.
"He doesn't have time and can't explain anything! He might find someone else..." Gu Yang, who was most anxious, opened his mouth in a hurry, and quickly shut his mouth under Gu Chen's half-smile eyes. Shen glanced at Gu Yuan gratefully, then took a deep breath, and said to Gu Congzhang calmly: "If this is the case, father, it is impossible for my signature pen to appear here. Father, do you know that I am Yes, how could I do such a stupid thing!"
He gripped the Gu family ring in his hand with such force that he almost broke the ring in two: "...There is no doubt that what happened this time was that a villain with ulterior motives secretly planted me, trying to make us father and son centrifugal..."
Gu Chen pursed his lips, looked up at Gu Congzhang, his height was affected by his mother, he was half a head lower than his father, he used to be dissatisfied with this, but today he is very grateful.
Gu Congzhang looked at his eldest son, and found that although Gu Chen's expression was calm, there was an unspeakable sadness in his eyes that he tried his best to hide. He turned his gaze, but met Gu Yuan's silver-white pair s eyes……
The silvery white eyes are exactly the same as that of his hateful mother!
A wave of anger suddenly surged in his heart, but it quickly dissipated. Gradually, Gu Congzhang felt a little bit dispirited.
his mother is dead
