Chapter 1069 - 1072: Will Never Leave You 9
Yan Fengchi nodded, "Brother, who else knows about your illness so far, aside from us?"
This matter must absolutely not be revealed to others for the time being.
As long as others are unaware, the Gu Family will not be thrown into chaos, and they can concentrate all their manpower, material resources, and financial resources to tackle this illness and cure my brother’s health!
Gu Shaocheng felt a warmth in his heart; he clearly knew that his brothers would never abandon him, yet they were even unwilling to prepare a backup plan. He really wanted to call them foolish, but the words just wouldn’t come out. His eyes already brimmed with liquid, and as a man doesn’t shed tears lightly, he tilted his head to let those tears roll backward and slowly uttered, "Gu Buyu knows about it."
"That time when we found the listening device in the toy Gu Buyu had someone sneak in, Chenxing and I mentioned my illness during our chat, so apart from you and Chenxing, he’s the only one who knows."
"However, I have his two sons and one daughter completely under my control; he doesn’t dare to make any rash moves for the time being." If his illness continues to worsen to the point everyone can see it, then there will be no guarantees.
"Although Gu Buyu didn’t dare to go public with it, he’s been very active behind the scenes recently."
Nan Baihao abruptly stood up, "I’ll take my men to City A and butcher him right now, kill him to silence him!"
Bai Wuqing saw him about to leave and reached out to grab his arm, "Come back."
"Second brother, now that the bastard knows about our older brother’s illness, what if he spills the beans? I will get rid of him now, once and for all, to remove future troubles!"
"Use your brain!" Bai Wuqing pulled him back into the chair and pushed him down, "He’s of the Gu Family, nobody of the Gu Family can be touched recklessly. The brother is the Clan Leader; they can plot against the brother, but he cannot touch them, otherwise, it would chill the hearts of the entire Gu Family!"
"Is it that easy to be the Sect Leader of the Gu Family?"
"The big brother can be high and mighty, can be unparalleled, can control the manpower, financial resources, material resources of the entire Gu Family, can summon wind and rain and turn beans into soldiers, these are the rights given to the Sect Leader by all members of the Gu Family!"
"But with rights come obligations!"
"As the Sect Leader, you can’t just scheme against your own kin, ’murder does not go beyond debts’, but the big brother cannot kill people bearing the Gu surname, unless they have made mistakes, and even then, evidence must be presented, and they must be dealt with according to the family law!"
"Even by the Gu Family’s law, what Gu Buyu has done over the years doesn’t warrant death; he’s simply been up to some chicken-stealing and dog-snatching. Not only has Gu Buyu done these things, but other branches of the Gu Family have done the same."
Nan Baihao pulled at his hair in frustration, "Why so many rules and restrictions? When he plotted against the brother in the past, nearly causing the elder brother to fall off a cliff to his death, isn’t that enough to kill him!"
Bai Wuqing sighed, "Do you have evidence? Even if we know he did it, what of it? You need to produce evidence. Little Secretary A adamantly refused to testify and even went as far as to bite his tongue to commit suicide. Those thugs are nothing but a bunch of gangsters found by Gu Buyu through indirect means, where will you get the evidence to prove his involvement? He has made his moves imperceptibly, and as a person confined by illness for a long time, his thoughts are even more meticulous than ours; how are you going to convict him?"
Nan Baihao grew more and more irritated, "If not openly, can’t I do it covertly? Just as the brother secretly has control over Gu Buyu that cripple’s two sons, I’m not stupid, I won’t just barge in and kill him in broad daylight!"
