“They’re bad people!” Before Xiang Jiechao could speak, the little guy tearfully accused, “Grandpa is sick, the teacher said kids should help others, Xiao Shu let mom give Xiao Shu’s medicine to Grandpa, they… they didn’t return Xiao Shu’s medicine, they even shot mom with a gun! They’re bad people! Waaaaah!”
Xiao Shumiao was terrified by the gunshot that struck near her mom’s feet, she clung to Gu Junzhu’s neck, sobbing uncontrollably.
Lingyue stood in front of Xiao Shumiao, his dark, beautiful eyes were fixed on the people opposite him, a raging fire of anger burned within.
That intense, fierce glare didn’t belong to a child of few years, rather it was like a defiant young wolf, poised to strike, ready to devour.
The sight of his gaze filled the guards with shame and fear.
They didn’t know the child’s background, but he was so young and yet his eyes were so fierce, what would he be like when he grows up?
After listening to Xiao Shumiao’s intermittent story, Gu Junzhu looked at Xiang Jiechao, his lips curling up ever so slightly, “Brother Xiang, you’re quite intimidating! My wife and son kindly wanted to lend you their medicine to treat Uncle Xiang, and you actually shot at my wife! Just a few days ago, I was wondering how Brother Xiang could raise a daughter like Xiang Bingzhi who’s as cruel and heartless as a beast, now I’ve finally figured it out. The beam is crooked because its support is crooked!”
Xiang Jiechao’s face turned an instant pale.
First he insulted his daughter as cruel and heartless as a beast.
Then he said, the beam is crooked because its support is crooked.
Wasn’t that just a roundabout way of calling him a heartless, cruel beast too?
Even though he and Gu Junzhu were of the same generation, he was twenty years older.
Being called a beast by a young man in his twenties in front of everyone, Xiang Jiechao was so shamed he felt like digging a hole and hiding in it.
Right now, he really despised Gu Junzhu.
If it weren’t for Gu Junzhu, his daughter would still be all right now. How could she have ended up in prison?
He just wanted to blow Gu Junzhu’s brains out with a single shot.
But he didn’t dare.
Gu Junzhu didn’t come alone.
He had the Xie brothers at his side, not to mention the dozen or so bodyguards watching intently.
Never mind whether he had the ability to blow Gu Junzhu’s brains out, even if he did, he still wouldn’t dare.
If he dared to kill Gu Junzhu, the men of the Gu family would tear him apart.
He was so angry he saw black before his eyes, yet he feared Gu Junzhu’s capabilities, so he forced a smile and tried to sound as gentle as possible, “Xiao Zhu, is this your wife? It’s all a misunderstanding! I didn’t know her, I thought she was just an ordinary passerby. Just now, Uncle Xiang suddenly had an asthma attack, it was an emergency, I acted impulsively, Brother Xiang wants to apologize to you and your wife, please don’t take it to heart. I’ll definitely prepare a big gift and personally visit your home to express my thanks and apologies!”
“Bad person!” Before Gu Junzhu could respond, the little guy turned his head towards him from Gu Junzhu’s arms, his voice still full of tears, “Hypocrite! Big bad guy!”
Gu Junzhu patted the child’s bottom, a smirk playing across his lips, “Brother Xiang, see? Even our five-year-old recognizes the hypocrisy in your words! You still need more practice in lying! Keep working on it!”
Xiang Jiechao could no longer maintain his smile. His face darkened, “Gu Junzhu, I’ve already explained everything clearly, I didn’t know your wife’s identity when you were not here!”
“I suspected your wife was the assassin who wanted to kill my father. I was too nervous about my father’s safety, I just wanted your wife to leave. When she refused, I fired a warning shot!”
“You’re Uncle Gu’s son, you should know that people like my father and Uncle Gu need to be extremely vigilant in their protection, they can’t be negligent!”
“I know I was too nervous about my father’s safety, I wronged your wife, I’m willing to apologize, and I’m also willing to thank you handsomely, what else do you want?”
