Chapter 599: Second Old Master Gu Father And Son
“Time is good medicine. It will always heal a person’s wounded heart,” Gu Yuanli said calmly. “Little Shu had to go through this sooner or later. Whether it was earlier or later, there was no difference. Go and report back to the Ye Family. Following this, it will not be necessary for us to interfere with what the Ye Family does.”
“Yes!”
Just when Gu Yuanli finished his words, his cell phone rang. Second Master was calling.
“Father, are you looking for me?”
“Make a trip back. I have something to tell you.”
“Sure. I will come back immediately!”
Gu Yuanli put down the phone and was somewhat silent. After a moment, he said calmly, “Let’s go home.”
‘Yes, Second Master.”
The Gu Family.
In the Gu Family’s Linhu villa, Second Old Master Gu was sitting in the courtyard looking at the water lilies which had filled up the whole courtyard. The most beautiful water lilies in the city were cultivated here. They were so incredibly beautiful. However, Second Old Master Gu’s face looked unusually heavy.
“Father, are you looking for me?”
Second Old Master Gu narrowed his eyes and looked at his second son, who had always been the proudest. “Yuanli, you acted on Ye Ling. Did you ask me?”
“Father, Ye Ling was our old enemy. The earlier we get rid of him, the earlier we would have a peace of mind. Did I make a mistake?”
“Ghost City and Ye Ling were slowly having dealings in business. According to our plan, we should be waiting until three years later. Why did you take action earlier?” Second Old Master Gu’s voice was extremely cold and filled with questions. Gu Yuanli’s heart sank slightly.
His father had not asked about Ghost City’s matters since a long time ago. Why was he suddenly bothered by Ye Ling’s a.s.sa.s.sination?
“Father, if we act three years later, he will also die. What’s the benefit of living for another three years? He is dead, and the Ye Family is in a state of chaos. The Ye Family in Europe is not so capable, and it is exactly this which gives us the advantage. I cannot tell what the disadvantages are to us with regards to Ye Ling dying earlier.”
Second Old Master Gu frowned. “Ye Ling and the Mu family’s youngest son have a good relations.h.i.+p. Don’t think that I do not know that your plan had failed this time in Golden City. You had lost a lot of contacts. However, Ye Ling was safe and sound. If you did not handle the matter properly this time and left traces behind, the members of the Mu family would follow and track the clues to Ghost City. Yuanli, Father cannot save you.”
Gu Yuanli raised his head and looked at Second Old Master Gu. “Father, I will naturally ensure that not even a drop of water is leaked. Don’t worry.”
Second Old Master Gu looked at him calmly. “Yuanli, when you do things, you have to do it step by step.”
“Yes, I know,” Gu Yuanli said. “Father, you seem to be particularly bothered by the matter regarding Ye Ling. Last time, you did not care about his matter at all. Why did you suddenly have the interest to care about this matter?”
“I am not interested to care about this matter. I only hope that troubles will not arise with Ghost City in your hands.”
“Father, trust me. There will not be troubles arising.”
“Leave.”
“Yes!”
Gu Yuanli took his leave gently. Outside, he met Ah Xi. Gu Yuanli asked, “Ah Xi, is there anything that Father is interested in recently?”
“Second Master recently likes to watch movies when he has nothing on. There is also nothing that he is interested in.”
Gu Yuanli nodded his head and left the courtyard. He returned back to his own home.
Ah Xi walked over. “Second Master, are you angry?”
“Do you feel that… it really is suitable to hand Ghost City over to Yuanli?”
“Second Master, are you thinking about Young Master again?”
“If Yuanan is alive, how good would that be.”
Ah Xi said, “It is hard to fathom Second Young Master’s mind. He is like his biological father.”
Second Old Master Gu closed his eyes slightly. Ah Xi knew that he did not like to listen to this topic and did not continue on. “Second Master, since you have decided to hand it over to him, then just trust him. It’s been so many years, and nothing major has happened.”
“I have a premonition that Ghost City will never recover from the matter regarding Ye Ling!”
