Chapter 1002 - 1005: Promise Me, Don’t Cry 9
He rose to his feet and, before leaving, managed to throw down an order.
"Everyone, kneel in silence, wait for my return to make a judgment!"
Under the dark night sky, in the larger courtyards of the Gu Family, from a distance, everyone was kneeling, yet not a single sound was uttered, nor did anyone speak out of turn. Personal guards armed to the teeth controlled the entire scene, ready to execute anyone on the spot should they harbor any disruptive thoughts.
Kneel in silence!
This night, before Gu Shaocheng returns, no one is allowed to leave!
Nor is it permitted to pass on any information or relay messages!
How many disloyal people are still within? He doesn’t have the time to investigate thoroughly!
Among these people, indeed one or two, with their heads bowed, secretly took out their phones, only to discover that there was not even a single signal on their phones, growing anxious inside.
------------------------------------------------------------
What to do?
How can the message be sent out?
----------------------------------------------------------
A fury raged, soaring to the heavens, igniting the expansive sky in flames.
The car drove for less than two minutes before stopping at the front of a villa nearby.
As the car door opened, an oppressive aura burst forth. Gu Shaocheng alighted from the car, followed by a procession of armed guards: "Sir, the target is inside this villa. However, the identity of the other party..."
The identity of the opposition made them hesitate to act rashly.
"But the villa is already completely surrounded, and all signals inside have been jammed." The people inside are trapped like turtles in a jar, now awaiting just an order from the sir!
Initially thinking that the sir would have reservations, his face remained devoid of any expression, decisively giving a gesture and command.
"Do not disturb the old master." This was the utmost respect he could show!
"Yes!"
The next second, the well-trained personal guards broke through the door!
A group of people quickly took control of everyone inside the villa, young and old, big and small, all were "invited" to the main hall!
Gu Shaocheng enthroned himself in the primary seat, with a disdainful gaze scanning the 11 people in the main hall, including Gu Silian, who was caught unawares, and not taking any of them seriously. Besides Gu Silian and her husband Cao Ying, there were nine servants. Among these nine servants, aside from two middle-aged women, all the rest were men.
Gu Silian, the eldest daughter of Gu Shaocheng’s crippled third uncle, Gu Buyu, and granddaughter of Gu Ting, would be his cousin. Gu Ting was the younger brother of Gu Shaocheng’s grandfather, who had retired here in his old age, usually passing time fishing and gardening. Gu Shaocheng held respect for him, occasionally joining him for fishing. He remembered that Gu Silian had only married three months ago and the couple moved to City E to reside. The purpose, well, with a slight guess, he could fathom: with Gu Ting getting on in years, they moved by his side to display their filial piety, eyeing the old man’s favors in reality.
At this moment, Gu Silian, dressed only in her pajamas, was brought out from her sleep, sour-faced, berating Gu Shaocheng, "Gu Shaocheng, what are you trying to do, scaring who in the dead of night?"
