Chapter 156: Gu Ying's Mind
"Elder Kong, please take charge of the situation. We're going to the Wang Family!"
Zhou Fan stood up and said to Kong Fei, then casually left the meeting room with Gu Feifei, Zhang Long, Han Huan, and the others.
Han Huan, in particular, grabbed Wang Liang with one hand and carried him out as if he were a little chick.
"Everyone, please sit down for now. As for how to deal with you, we'll wait for Elder Gu to return before we discuss it!" Kong Fei hadn't expected Han Huan, who was with Zhou Fan, to be so violent. 'At first, I thought he was just a paper-pusher!'
'It seems the people around this kid are no simple characters.'
The Wang Family of Jiang Province was a family of moderate size. Although they had the powerful backing of the Capital City Wang Family, the connection was too distant. As such, they could at best be considered an ordinary upper-class family in Jiang Province.
But recently, the Wang Family had skyrocketed. They had taken over the Gu Group, one of the top corporations in Jiang Province, and leaped into the ranks of the province's powerhouse families. An endless stream of visitors came to their door every day. Wang Liang's parents, Wang Tianqing and Gu Ying, had smiles that could reach the heavens.
"It won't be long before we become one of the top families in Jiang Province. We'll see if the Capital City Wang Family still dares to look down on us then!" Gu Ying said happily to Wang Tianqing, having just seen off a group of guests.
"This is all thanks to my wife's brilliant plan, and for getting in with someone like the Grand Elder. Otherwise, we never would have had such a great opportunity!" Wang Tianqing said with a sincere expression, but inwardly he was thinking, 'How can I bypass Gu Ying and contact the Grand Elder directly? If I can get the Grand Elder's continued support, I won't have to answer to Gu Ying anymore!'
Wang Tianqing had no feelings for Gu Ying. In fact, when she proposed that they cooperate with the Grand Elder to seize all the Gu Family's assets and place Gu Changkong under house arrest, he had been utterly shocked.
'Has this woman lost her mind?'
'For all these years, she's not only controlled my every move, forbidding me from seeing other women or keeping a mistress, but now she even wants to scheme against her own family?'
Therefore, faced with such a ruthless woman, Wang Tianqing feared that she might one day use the Grand Elder to get rid of him, too. He had to make the first move.
"Darling, don't you worry. The Grand Elder will help us. With his methods, we'll be number one in Jiang Province in less than three months. Then we won't have to go to the Capital City; the Capital City Wang Family will come to us. After all, their Eldest Young Master is already dead!" Gu Ying said, completely oblivious to Wang Tianqing's thoughts and still wearing a smug expression.
"My wife, it's truly my honor to have married you!" Wang Tianqing said this aloud, but what he was thinking was, 'Screw you! I'm terrified you'll get rid of me along with everyone else!'
Just then, the sound of screeching tires echoed outside. The couple exchanged a knowing smile, assuming it was another family from Jiang Province coming to pay a visit.
"Kick the door down!" Zhang Long ordered the bodyguards behind him from inside the car.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
The bodyguards were fierce. With a few thunderous kicks, they smashed the Wang Family's main gate open. A convoy of seven or eight SUVs then drove into the Wang Family's courtyard.
Seeing this, Gu Ying sensed that something was wrong. She hurried out with a group of people. Beside her were two men in strange attire.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass on the Wang Family's property?" Gu Ying demanded, standing at the front with her hands on her hips, her expression ice-cold.
Wang Tianqing, however, did not step forward. Years of intuition told him that anyone who dared to show up so arrogantly when the Wang Family was at the height of its power would not be easy to deal with.
THUD!
Han Huan stepped forward and casually tossed the still-unconscious Wang Liang onto an empty patch of ground in the courtyard. At the same time, Zhang Long's bodyguards surrounded them, staring menacingly at Gu Ying and the guards beside her.
"Liang, what happened to you?" Seeing the unconscious Wang Liang, Gu Ying rushed forward, calling his name and shaking him until he finally woke up.
"Mom, it was her! Gu Feifei brought outsiders to steal my company, and she had someone knock me out! You have to get justice for me!" After waking up and seeing Gu Ying, Wang Liang hugged her and began to sob loudly, as if he had suffered the greatest injustice in the world. He then turned, pointed at Gu Feifei who had walked up to them, and roared in anger.
"Gu Feifei, what is the meaning of this? Are you trying to rebel? Don't forget you're a member of the Gu Family! It's one thing not to help the family, but to bring outsiders to attack your own home? How can you face your grandfather?" Gu Ying flew into a rage. She stood up, glared at Gu Feifei, and immediately took the moral high ground with her questions.
"Auntie, let's skip the nonsense. Where is my grandfather? Hand him over, then surrender the shares your son is holding, and I'll let this matter go. Otherwise, don't blame me for what happens next!"
After everything she had been through, Gu Feifei was no longer the naive little girl she once was. How could she be intimidated by a few words from Gu Ying?
