Chapter 648: Taking out his anger on his own father is already the most passive form of revenge.
Zhou Yichen had some doubts and planned to ask Elder Ge for clarification. At that moment, Elder Ge was having a heart-to-heart talk with someone who was both unexpected and not unexpected to him.
“Now that Zhou has returned to Kyoto, your grandson won’t last more than a few days before leaving. Old Gu, have you thought it through and decided not to try anymore? Based on my few interactions with him, that kid probably won’t come back to Kyoto after this time, and you’ll really never see each other again.”
Grandpa Gu slowly accepted the tea offered to him, and shook his head almost imperceptibly. "No, let him go. The Gu family already owes them a lot. How can we shamelessly ask him to forgive us and call me grandpa again? It's better that he's gone. This place is ultimately a place of sorrow."
The old man looked much more haggard and aged than before.
Since the arrival of the spy mother and son Chu Ge and Gu Xian in the family, the Gu family has completely fallen into ruin. He didn't have much energy left to pursue power, and now that he knows his only grandson is still alive, he has even fewer regrets.
As long as he is a descendant of the Gu family, what does it matter if he doesn't have the surname Gu?
"Ugh!"
Old Ge sighed deeply, then nodded and sat down. "It's best if you can figure it out. It's actually a good thing that the child isn't around. He has a significant position in the Hong Kong underworld now. If we force him to stay, he'll definitely cause trouble because of his deep-seated hatred. It's better to set him free than to cause endless trouble in the future. As long as he's alright, that's fine!"
Both old men knew that the Gu Liannan who had returned was no longer the same Gu Liannan. Having grown up in the environment of the Hong Kong gangsters, he had transformed into someone cunning and resourceful. In fact, if this incident were taken seriously, he could be ruthless enough to gather a group of people to take revenge on the Gu family until they were destroyed.
Right now, simply venting his anger on his own father is the most passive form of revenge.
There was no point in saying more, so Old Master Gu composed himself and started talking about other things.
"The Zhou family's lad is not bad either. It's a good thing that Lian Nan can be friends with him. Things in this world are truly wonderful. Who would have thought that after 20 years of going around in circles and being so far apart, they could still become friends? I, this old man, am really grateful to Zhou Yichen."
"That's right. It's a kind of luck. It leaves the child with something to remember him by in the mainland. Maybe he can come back to visit more often when the country's policies allow it in the future."
Old Ge smiled and went along with him, but in his heart he was thinking that Chu Xin, that clever little devil, was the biggest contributor, but he didn't say it out loud.
It wasn't that she didn't trust her old friend's character, but she was afraid that if Gu Beizhan found out and did something reckless in his current madness, Chu Xin wouldn't have the good temper to tolerate him, and he might accidentally kill someone.
Grandpa Gu never expected that Ge Shaoting would still care about this place, but he agreed with what Grandpa Ge said.
"He is Chinese after all, his roots are here. If that day ever comes, I will be gratified even if I am no longer here."
"Thank you so much for taking care of this matter and preventing it from becoming too ugly!"
"Hey, it's nothing serious, no need to thank me. Besides, I didn't go to any trouble. Lian Nan didn't break any laws in the mainland, but his identity as a gangster who smuggled himself into the country is a bit dangerous and can't be known by outsiders. I'm afraid he'll be targeted by someone with ulterior motives and cause trouble, so I can only lock him up for now."
However, the police need to drop the case quickly. After all, Yin Yin's remains are still in Liannan. If they really find out about his various disturbances, he might end up in jail.
As Old Ge spoke, he thought of Gu Beizhan, that stubborn fellow, and sighed repeatedly.
He ignored advice and went to Henan Province. When he saw people paying respects to his father-in-law and brother-in-law, he acted irrationally and went looking for the people behind them. If it weren't for his meddling, none of this would have happened.
Now that Gu Liannan has returned as Ge Shaoting, he is eager to kneel down and beg for forgiveness, but also disregards his father's objections and reports the matter to the police to have him detained.
The various baffling actions left Mr. Ge speechless. He really didn't know what Mr. Ge was trying to do. Had his brain been turned to mush during the two years he was in a coma?
Speaking of his good-for-nothing son, Old Master Gu's face darkened considerably. "He made the decision to report the case to the police on his own, and he was very determined to pursue the matter. Even I couldn't make the decision unless he withdrew it himself. It's truly a misfortune for my family. How could I have given birth to such a rebellious son? If I had known this would happen, I would have preferred to have been poisoned to death!"
The old man was furious. He had been deceived by treacherous villains in the past, and now that bastard was bothering his grandson with gifts every day. He really wanted to beat him to death.
Unfortunately, the Gu family is no longer what it used to be. After a series of events, the old man has completely retired. Apart from the cook, there is no one else he can use, so he is powerless to even beat his son.
"There's no rush. Zhou Yichen should be able to resolve this soon. He's become much more astute in the past year and won't be so stubborn. He might just meet with Lian Nan today and get your son to drop the case tomorrow. Let's just wait and see!"
Old Ge comforted his old friend, and even felt a little excited thinking about how that good-for-nothing Gu Beizhan was about to suffer.
