The next day, in the VIP ward of the First People's Hospital.
"Unacceptable! How dare someone injure my son! Today, I will ensure you have nowhere to be buried!"
Gu Qingyuan, with a face ashen, looked at Gu Chenjie lying on the hospital bed, his anger erupting uncontrollably.
Last night, he had learned through unofficial channels that all the people he had sent out had been arrested, and they were all considered war criminals. He knew it wouldn't be long before he was investigated for harboring them.
As his fury reached its peak, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Uncle Gu, I've come to see Young Master Gu..."
Upon hearing this voice, Gu Qingyuan's forehead veins bulged.
He turned to see Lin Tianai and Mu Hanqi!
It was all because of Lin Tianai that his son had suffered such pain and torment, and now she dared to appear before him!
Suppressing the urge to kill him, he walked to the side, his back to Lin Tianai.
Lin Tianai didn't think much of it. She placed the fruit basket and gifts aside and said softly, "Young Master Gu, although I don't know why you've suddenly become like this, I still have to apologize for Ye Longlin's actions last night. I'm sorry."
Hearing this, Gu Qingyuan, his face grim, walked up to Lin Tianai and spoke in a low voice, "Do you really not know why he's like this?"
Lin Tianai was taken aback, her eyes blank. Should she know?
Mu Hanqi frowned, "Hey! Old Man Gu, you're quite something. Your son becoming like this might be his own doing!"
Despite a slight apprehension towards Mu Hanqi, the enraged Gu Qingyuan didn't think too much of it. He slapped Lin Tianai across the face.
"Slap!"
"To hell with his own doing! My son's hand is crippled, and his legs are broken! You tell me it's his own doing? Don't think I don't know that all of this is because of you, Lin Tianai! If it weren't for you, how could my son have ended up like this?"
"Mu Hanqi, if you really want to confront my Gu family, you're not qualified!"
"Kaihe has been arrested, and Chenjie has become like this. You know best whether Lin Tianai is involved in these two incidents. Why are you pretending to be concerned now?"
Mu Hanqi's phrase "his own doing" had completely ignited Gu Qingyuan's rage!
At this moment, he was not the CEO of Gu Corporation, but an enraged father, a very enraged father!
No one had expected Gu Qingyuan to act so suddenly!
"Mr. Gu, no matter how this happened, you should find the person who did this to Young Master Gu, not take your anger out on us!" Mu Hanqi said with a gloomy expression.
Gu Qingyuan scoffed, "From the very beginning, when my son pursued Lin Tianai, nothing like this ever happened. Since Ye Longlin appeared, all sorts of incidents have been endless. Everyone's troubles start with her, Lin Tianai!"
"Thump, thump, thump."
Footsteps sounded from outside the door.
"You'd better apologize, and then let my wife return this slap, or your son won't make it through today."
Swish, swish, swish.
Three pairs of eyes fell on the doorway. Ye Longlin, hands in his pockets, his gaze icy, fixed on Gu Qingyuan.
"Ye Longlin!!"
Gu Qingyuan finally saw the real person!
He had only seen photos before; this was his first actual meeting!
"You'd better listen to me, because those who don't listen to me are already dead."
Ye Longlin walked in and casually closed the door, a faint, elusive smile playing on his lips.
"Ye Longlin, what are you talking about? Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Gu. We can't afford to offend Mr. Gu; a single word from him can bring down the Ju Ling Group!" Lin Tianai knew things had gotten serious when she saw Ye Longlin.
No matter what the situation, he was always so reckless, and now he was facing the top financial magnate of Star City!
Ye Longlin glanced at her indifferently, "Every time something happens, all you do is apologize. Ask Uncle Lin, if there were no other choice, would he hand over the Ju Ling Group to you?"
This statement hit home!
Lin Tianai's heart ached, and she lowered her eyes, a look of grievance on her small face.
After all, Lin Tianai was just a recent graduate, her disposition still immature. To be precise, she had a beautiful exterior but lacked practical skills.
When faced with trouble, she only thought of de-escalating the situation, but the business world was like a battlefield; it wasn't that simple.
Ye Longlin looked at her, sighed helplessly, and taught her with earnest words, "The kind are bullied, the strong ride the weak. If you don't have a powerful background, you must arm yourself."
"It's like a street punk; you could pull anyone from a crowd and their achievements would be higher than his, but why are people still afraid of street punks?
Similarly, between a street punk who has taken lives and an ordinary one, who would people be more afraid of?"
Simple logic is understood by everyone, but how many people can actually achieve it?
Mu Hanqi looked at Ye Longlin with admiration. He was indeed the man she admired; a simple sentence revealed the essence of the matter.
"Stand aside and watch!"
Ye Longlin said sternly to Lin Tianai.
Lin Tianai stood aside aggrievedly, "Okay."
Mu Hanqi rubbed her forehead. Big sister, your persona is crumbling! You're the aloof CEO of Ju Ling Group!
"You are the first person to ignore me, and you will be the last."
Gu Qingyuan's eyes flickered with murderous intent. Without a word, he took out his phone and made a call.
"Ju Ling Group. Within three hours, I want to see their stock price collapse. Furthermore, anyone related to the Lin family, I want them to never be able to rise again!"
Ye Longlin shook his head slightly, "To me, you are nothing more than an ant."
At the same time.
The nine great families on the southern border of Star City gathered at Hao Hai Villa, the occasion of extremely high规格.
Among them, a beautiful middle-aged woman, dressed in grand attire, stood at the forefront.
"Esteemed guests, we have been in opposition with the Star City business community for so many years. Today, the Grand Protector has come out of seclusion, achieving the Five Dao Realm. Let all rejoice!"
"However, it was only last night that I learned that my son, Gu Kaihe, has been imprisoned again, and my eldest son, Gu Chenjie, has had his legs and right hand crippled. Let us use this matter to announce to the entire Star City that the Family Alliance is officially established!"
As soon as her voice fell, the hundreds of people present felt an invisible pressure permeating the air, like Mount Tai bearing down.
"The Grand Protector has come out of seclusion!!"
In an instant, the pressure vanished.
An old man in a simple linen Tang suit appeared before everyone.
"Welcome, Protector, upon your emergence!"
The patriarchs of the nine great families cupped their hands in salute.
The middle-aged woman took a step forward, "Did Protector Xu successfully break through to the Five Dao Realm?"
Without confirmation, they dared not speak casually.
The old man nodded, "Naturally."
A trace of killing intent flashed in the middle-aged woman's eyes, and she nodded, "Since Protector Xu has emerged, please accompany him to Star City to avenge my son!"
The middle-aged woman was Feng Yueying, Gu Qingyuan's wife!
