However, near the Gu Mansion, there were indeed many cars parked, all belonging to the guests.
But Gao Meiru was no fool; she took out a pair of binoculars and looked around. Newest update provided by novel·fıre·net
She suddenly noticed that there were almost a dozen cars downstairs, each with three men sitting inside, all dressed in black suits, their expressions indifferent, making it obvious they were assassin types.
In the nearest residential building, she saw that in two different windows, snipers were positioned with their rifles pointed this way.
If she wasn’t mistaken, one gun was aimed at her, and the other at Gu Hai...
"Dad, there are a lot of people outside, we are surrounded," she said, her face pale.
A flicker of shock passed through Gu Hai’s eyes.
"If you dare to fire, it will be a case of mutual destruction. However, chances are you won’t kill me before you get killed yourself," Gu Yixuan reminded him indifferently.
"You... What exactly do you want?" Gu Hai’s hand holding the gun trembled slightly.
"Didn’t I just say it? I want you to have nothing."
"This is revenge, isn’t it? Back then, we killed your mother, so you want to get back at us. Heh, if that’s the case, why don’t you just kill us outright?"
A shadow crossed Gu Yixuan’s eyes.
"Kill you? Wouldn’t that be letting you off too easily? I want you to live well and see how I live better than you, how I trample you underfoot. Also, you’ve enjoyed a lifetime of respect and wealth, and suddenly having nothing at all must feel terrible. The gaze and opinion of the outside world will be enough to crush you!"
Indeed, for people like them, what they cared about most in life was their face and their dignified bearing.
Now that even the substance was gone, it would be a lie to say their hearts weren’t suffering.
"You unfilial descendant, even if I die, I will not let you go!"
Seeing him so emotionally agitated, Gu Yixuan shook his head with a smile.
"I advise you to accept reality, which might be better for you. Looking at your robust health, you should be able to live another decade or so. If you obediently follow my arrangements, I might let you live out your old age in peace. Otherwise..."
The rest of the sentence was left unsaid, but they knew what it meant; there wouldn’t be a good outcome.
"Alright, I’ve already delivered the gift for today. I have no interest in your longevity banquet, so I shall take my leave immediately."
Gu Yixuan left holding Mo Ran, not at all worried that Gu Hai would shoot.
