Chapter 1006: Executing the Mission
Gu Lin widened his eyes, staring at Gu Chen in disbelief. He hadn’t expected that Gu Chen was scheming against them all along.
"You designed this plan for us to plot against you? How can you be certain that we would follow your plan?" Gu Qing found it utterly absurd.
Gu Chen chuckled softly, a hint of coldness in his gaze. "I’m not sure you’ll act according to my plan, but I’m sure you’ve always wanted to deal with me, to seize my position."
"So, you deliberately left the small leather ball at the old house, didn’t you? You used us to go after Guan Lei. If it succeeded, everything would be fine. If it failed, you could blame it on us, right?" Gu Lin’s neck veins bulged as he growled.
Gu Qing, with eyes red from anger, continued, "That day, you deliberately didn’t resist, and you let Shen Xi come to save you. It was all to have a reason to distance yourself from us in advance, so you could rightfully eliminate our second branch from the Gu family! Throughout the entire plan, either the Guan family or our second branch would be cleaned up, and you would emerge unscathed, with your hands clean from start to finish! Gu Chen, you are despicable!"
At this point, Gu Qing finally understood what their father had once said. Gu Chen was exceptionally skilled at manipulating people’s minds. It was because Gu Chen understood their weaknesses, that a few words were enough to lead them along his plan.
Gu Chen could achieve the desired results by using others, without lifting a finger himself.
Gu Chen chuckled softly, admitting, "Yes, it was me. If you have to blame someone, blame yourselves for wanting to scheme against me. Otherwise, none of this would have happened. Ever since I learned about the Liu family joining forces with the Guan family’s third and fourth branches to assassinate the general, I’ve been thinking about this. It’s great, you’ve all been obedient. Every step was within my expectations."
