Chapter 745 I Don't Think So
Gu Chengtian was all smiles. Before leaving, he patted Gu Junjie on the shoulder and said, "Jun jie, you are the pride of the Gu family. Don't worry, when you return, you will become my Wei family's heir!"
Gu Junjie's heart was ecstatic.
He hadn't expected that this charade would lead Gu Chengtian to hand over the succession to him, considering Gu Chengtian had a biological son of his own.
But Gu Junjie had no idea of Gu Chengtian's true intentions. If Gu Junjie managed to rescue Wei Linlin, the Wei family would highly value him, and the Gu family would rely on Gu Junjie to rise to prominence.
"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely rescue Wei Linlin!"
With that, Gu Junjie, brimming with joy, got into the car with Chen Xuan. The Wei family also sent their butler along for support.
At this moment, Gu Junjie was happier than anyone, as if a bright future and wealth were beckoning him.
The Wei family, on the other hand, was determined to rescue Wei Linlin. As for the Li family, they hoped to bring the Wei family onto their side.
Soon, Gu Junjie drove to the dilapidated building of the Second Shipbuilding Factory.
"Get out!"
Gu Junjie jumped out of the car and opened the door, impatiently telling Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan, tied up and finding it difficult to move, slowly alighted from the car.
"Hurry up, you useless idiot!"
Seeing Chen Xuan's sluggishness, Gu Junjie kicked out. However, Chen Xuan suddenly stumbled, causing Gu Junjie to kick the nearby wall instead, nearly twisting his ankle. He cried out in pain.
"Young Master Gu, what's wrong?"
Chen Xuan turned back, looking at Gu Junjie, who was painfully rubbing his ankle, with a mocking expression.
Chen Xuan's expression further infuriated Gu Junjie.
How could this guy have so much strength? Could that pill be ineffective? Oh my god!
Gu Junjie was scared, but the thought of Chen Xuan having taken the pill immediately reassured him.
Although the pill was bought from an advertisement on a utility pole, Gu Junjie had personally tested it, and it was very effective, rendering the person completely without strength. This was a method he had devised after much thought.
There would be no problems!
"We shouldn't delay any further, let's go up quickly!" the Wei family butler, who had accompanied them, said in a deep voice.
He was very nervous, cold sweat beading on his forehead, his fists clenched, and he swallowed hard as he looked at the building.
At this moment, Wei Linlin's endearing calls and smiles made the Wei family butler feel as if he had been injected with adrenaline.
To rescue Wei Linlin, he gritted his teeth and stepped forward.
"Alright, Butler Wei!"
Gu Junjie walked over, dragging the bound Chen Xuan upstairs, with the Wei family butler following closely behind.
The building was now abandoned, and the elevator was long out of order, so they had to climb the stairs. After a few minutes, they reached the seventh floor of the building.
As soon as they entered, they saw a group of burly men wearing hoods standing in the open space.
Wei Linlin was tied to a broken chair, her eyes blindfolded, and a rag stuffed in her mouth. Her face was sallow, indicating that her recent ordeal had taken a toll on her.
"Linlin!"
The Wei family butler, upon seeing Wei Linlin, quickened his pace and shouted urgently.
"Mmmph mmmph..."
Wei Linlin recognized the Wei family butler's voice, but with her mouth gagged, she couldn't speak and felt extremely anxious.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, a stern shout rang out.
A burly man pointed a saber at the Wei family butler, stopping him from advancing further. Another large man standing beside him placed a dagger at Wei Linlin's throat.
"I won't move, I won't move, please don't do anything to my young lady..."
The Wei family butler's expression changed, and he dared not take another step forward.
"Wise move!"
The man guarding Wei Linlin, fearing that Wei Linlin might cause trouble, raised the hilt of his saber and struck Wei Linlin on the back of her head, causing her to instantly lose consciousness.
"What have you done to my young lady?" the Wei family butler asked urgently.
"Don't worry, she's just fainted," the man said lazily.
Seeing this, the Wei family butler breathed a sigh of relief.
"Please don't hurt Linlin, I've brought the person you asked for!" Gu Junjie shouted, feigning extreme nervousness.
The Wei family butler, witnessing this, was full of admiration, thinking that Gu Junjie truly cared for Wei Linlin.
However, his thoughts were interrupted as he was suddenly struck on the back of the head and knocked unconscious.
This was all part of Gu Junjie's plan. If he didn't knock out the Wei family butler, he wouldn't be able to deal with Chen Xuan!
"Don't worry, I'll chop off this guy's arms and legs right now."
Saying this, Gu Junjie picked up a saber from the ground and raised it towards Chen Xuan.
Everyone watched the scene unfolding before them, their eyes filled with various glints.
Gu Junjie sneered, "Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan, this isn't my fault. If anyone's to blame, it's for offending someone you shouldn't have!"
Chen Xuan remained extremely calm and suddenly spoke, "Gu Junjie, can't you admit it even now?"
"What do you mean?" Gu Junjie looked at Chen Xuan.
"Alright, Gu Junjie, stop pretending. You were the one who kidnapped Wei Linlin, weren't you?" Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes, his expression seeming to have seen through Gu Junjie.
Gu Junjie glanced at the unconscious Wei Linlin and the Wei family butler, while Chen Xuan was also bound. His previous expression instantly shifted as he chuckled, "Kid, I didn't expect you to see through me."
"So it really was you. Why did you kidnap Wei Linlin!" Chen Xuan feigned ignorance.
Upon hearing this, Gu Junjie became enraged and yelled at Chen Xuan, "It's all because of you! If it weren't for you, how would my father have been imprisoned? How would the Gu family have gone bankrupt?"
"I went to bars to drink, and I, the great young master of the Gu family, couldn't even afford a bottle of 1982 Lafite!"
"Do you know? Even those women selling drinks at the bar dared to mock me!"
"Even Da Yong, whom I treated like a dog, dared to humiliate me!"
"All of this is because of you! You've turned me, Gu Junjie, into someone everyone can bully! I will get revenge on you!"
Chen Xuan sighed, his gaze suddenly sharp as he said sternly, "You can only blame yourselves. Who told you to oppose the Su family? Who told your Gu family to act like dogs for that person in Kyoto? Don't blame others."
"Don't forget, how many patients did your Gu family harm by selling fake medicine?"
"This is your Gu family's self-inflicted misfortune, and your father's as well!"
"Even now, you scoundrel, you dare to quibble!"
Gu Junjie kicked Chen Xuan in the chest, sending him tumbling to the ground.
Chen Xuan struggled and sat up, staring at Gu Junjie with a smile:
"What? Did I touch a sore spot? Look at the terrible things your Gu family has done, framing the Su family with fake medicines, and stealing the Gu family's prescriptions. Isn't this what you deserve?"
"It's only right that you weren't struck down by lightning from the heavens!"
"You..." Gu Junjie was almost driven mad.
Did this kid not realize his life was in his hands, to be so arrogant?
However, Gu Junjie soon understood. Chen Xuan was simply giving up any pretense.
He took a breath and, instead of being angry, smiled at Chen Xuan, saying, "Kid, curse all you want. Anyway, today I'll step on your corpse and curry favor with the Wei family. With the Wei family's support, my Gu family can rise again!"
"Also, the Su family will face the combined assault of the Wei family and the Li family, and other major families! They are doomed!"
"Is that so? I don't think so." Chen Xuan smiled faintly.
