After leaving the Jiang Group, Gu Chen let out a heavy sigh.
"Master."
Zhao Bo followed behind him and asked respectfully, "Are we going to the Zhou Family now?"
"The Zhou Family? No need." Gu Chen said calmly, "I have my own plans."
"As long as the Zhou Family remains unpunished, I will feel like I have a fishbone stuck in my throat!"
Zhao Bo gritted his teeth and said.
In the past few days, he has learned about the humiliation Gu Chen had suffered. Although he doesn't know why his master had to endure for so long with his strength, Gu Chen is now his faith. The Zhou Family actually dared to embarrass them in Zhou City, and even caused a public uproar about the annulment of the engagement, ruining Gu Chen and his father's reputation and leaving them with no face.
He simply couldn't tolerate this humiliation and hatred!
"I also wanted to deal with the Zhou Family the way I dealt with the Jiang Family, but that wouldn't be fun." A sharp glint flashed in Gu Chen's eyes as he said, "The most extreme way to deal with an enemy is to first make them arrogant, then make them despair, instill fear in them, and finally force them to make a desperate, even hopeless, gamble!"
Ma Gang interjected at this moment, saying in a deep voice, "Boss, I know, it's about subduing the enemy without fighting, it's from military strategy!"
Gu Chen smiled slightly, then looked at Ma Gang and said, "It's the same idea, but not the same principle."
In his past life, he was tricked by Zhou Xue'er and broke his leg. His father also went to the Shangjing and suffered all kinds of humiliation because of this. In the end, he was forced to his death. Besides the Gu Family, the Zhou Family was also the biggest culprit!
How could Gu Chen let the Zhou Family be destroyed so easily!
Water overflows when it is full, and the moon wanes after it is full.
The Zhou Family is now dreaming of becoming the leading family in Zhou City!
Let it expand first, and when it reaches its fullness, that will be the day of its destruction!
"I'm going back. Ma Gang, you, Zhu Jun, and Jiang Qi go to the black market. You're my people now, Lu Fan will take care of you. Remember, don't forget to cultivate. In a few days, I'll need your help."
"Yes!"
The three nodded, then Ma Gang asked, puzzled, "By the way, boss, there's something I don't understand."
"You say it," Gu Chen said calmly.
"If it was resolved so easily today, why did you let us have a 20-game winning streak? With your and Brother Zhao's abilities, all our grueling training has been completely in vain."
"Madness!"
It was Zhao Bo who spoke. He looked coldly at Ma Gang and said, "Since you know that Master is from the Heavenly Pivot Sect, how can you not have someone by your side? Three Late-stage Initiation Realm cultivators are already top-tier combat power in Zhou City. Master is not only training you, but also announcing his presence to all forces in Zhou City! Do you understand?"
After being reprimanded by Zhao Bo, Ma Gang immediately shrugged and muttered, "Got it! They're just pawns and lackeys! Just there to boost morale."
"Following me, even as a lackey, is a million times better than fighting in underground boxing matches." Gu Chen stood with his hands behind his back, his face cold, and said, "If you don't want to choose this path, I won't force you."
Gu Chen wasn't exaggerating when he said that. Among those who followed him on his adventures on Heavenly Nether Star back then, even the servants and men became prominent cultivators in their own right!
Sensing the displeasure in Gu Chen's voice, Ma Gang immediately shivered and said in a panic, "This subordinate absolutely did not mean that!"
During the past few days in the black market, Lu Fan treated Gu Chen with utmost respect. Even the Water Cloud Sect behind him had begun to contact Gu Chen. As a young Grandmaster, even if they had never heard of the Heavenly Pivot Sect, that identity alone was incredibly useful.
Moreover, Gu Chen is young but composed, with the demeanor of a seasoned veteran. He is fair in rewarding and punishing, and the three of them, including Ma Gang, have undergone a complete transformation in the past few days under his guidance. How could they possibly give up the opportunity to follow Gu Chen!
You guys go first!
Gu Chen waved his hand.
Ma Gang and his two companions immediately took their leave.
"Come with me," Gu Chen said to Zhao Bo, then hailed a taxi to go home.
After being chased by the people of the Wuji Manor, Gu Chen hadn't been home for several days, and Gu Beichi must have been extremely worried. Moreover, Gu Chen had an important matter to attend to upon his return this time—something he had always wanted to do since his rebirth!
Once downstairs, Gu Chen glanced at his balcony and said, "In a little while, do exactly what I told you in the car."
"Yes." Zhao Bo nodded, and then followed Gu Chen upstairs.
Gu Beichi didn't go to the company today, but he received a call from Gu Chen half an hour ago and is waiting at home.
"Chen'er!"
As the door opened and Gu Chen walked in, Gu Beichi immediately took two steps forward, looked him up and down, then placed his hands on Gu Chen's shoulders and said in a trembling voice:
"Where have you been these past few days? Your father was so worried about you!"
Seeing the faint tears in his father's eyes, Gu Chen felt a pang of self-reproach.
During this time, due to the conflict with the Zhou Family, Gu Beichi was constantly worried about Gu Chen's safety. Although he didn't openly ask what Gu Chen was doing or say many words of concern, in his heart, Gu Chen was his everything.
A father's love knows no bounds; his love is selfless!
Seeing that Gu Chen was safe and sound, he finally felt relieved.
"Dad, I can restore your meridians!"
Suddenly, Gu Chen's words caused Gu Beichi's entire body to tremble violently!
"What did you say?" Gu Beichi stared at Gu Chen in shock!
"I said, I can restore your meridians!" Gu Chen said, emphasizing each word. "But I need to take your pulse and determine which medicinal herbs you need. The recovery period may be long or short."
"That's not what I meant!" Gu Beichi's expression shifted several times, his face turning ugly as he said, "How do you know about my meridians? Did your uncle contact you? That bastard, we're in this state now, and he still won't let us go! He's trying to provoke you, to provoke this cripple like me!"
"Dad, it wasn't Gu Changfeng. He didn't contact me."
"That's Uncle Liu?" Gu Beichi became even more agitated, his eyes wide with anger.
Uncle Liu stood in the dining room, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"Dad, it's not Uncle Liu either." Gu Chen gripped his father's arms tightly, trying to control his emotions, and said, "I know all this. No one told me; in fact, I've known for a long time!"
Gu Beichi was struck dumb. He immediately released Gu Chen, stumbled backward, and sat down on the sofa.
He clutched his head, writhing in agony!
As if recalling some embarrassing past, her chest heaved and her body trembled uncontrollably.
"Dad!"
A look of reluctance flashed in Gu Chen's eyes, but he stepped forward, placed his palm on his father's back, and sighed.
If he hadn't been reborn, he would have already lost a leg at this point and wouldn't have known these secrets.
But in his previous life, after his father died, he was also persecuted by the Gu Family. It was from that time that he finally learned why his father was expelled from the Gu Family!
