Chapter 939: Defeating The Yun Family
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Ha. I, Yun Qi, have the guts to say this in front of anyone because the Yun family has that confidence!” Naturally, Yun Qi had brought quite several people with him when he went out. He looked at Gu Jingze at this moment and immediately scoffed, “Ultimately, you’re in the prime of youth. Since you dared to come here of your own accord, then don’t blame me for being rude!” With a quick wave of his hand, the people behind him immediately took out their guns from the trunks of the cars.
When it came to weaponry, the Yun family was definitely not lacking. At present, they were pointing their weapons directly at Gu Jingze without an ounce of hesitation. There were ten guns aimed at him alone. Yun Qi sneered and looked at Gu Jingze. “You’re not as careful as your grandfather. That’s why you’re not suited to be the head of the Gu family.”
Gu Jingze said, “Yes. The reason I’m not careful is because I never plot schemes.”
Yun Qi froze and looked at Gu Jingze standing at gunpoint right now. With one command from him, Gu Jingze would immediately be shot numerous times until he became a hornets’ nest. However, Gu Jingze continued standing there with a calm expression as if nothing would happen at all. His arrogant manner made Yun Qi less and less confident.
Just then…
Gu Jingze suddenly raised his hand.
The moment he lifted his fingers, countless people immediately surged forth from the surrounding undergrowth. They had guns in their arms and pointed them towards the center in unison. The number of people forming the human barricade was many times the number of people inside.
Yun Qi and the butler who was still wailing on the floor felt their hearts turn cold. Yun Qi swayed slightly and was nearly about to retreat.
“You…” He looked at Gu Jingze who smiled. “We can give it a try and see who turns into a hornets’ nest first.”
However, just then, a figure dressed in a suit re-emerged from inside.
Yun Qi squinted his eyes. He was confused at first. The figure became clearer to him as he looked at it and he realized in surprise that the person who had come… was the President of M Nation whom he had met earlier.
“Mr… Mr. President…”
He walked over and looked at Yun Qi before casting his gaze at the people behind Yun Qi. “Do you know what crime it is to hold a president at gunpoint like this?”
It was truly… a grave crime.
The Yun family’s subordinates quickly lowered their guns.
The president looked at Yun Qi. “What did you just say? When did you, Yun Qi, make decisions for M Nation? Could it be that you behave a certain way in front of me and behave another way in private? You told me resolutely that the Yun family’s loyalty to M Nation knows no bounds. But in actual fact, you want to be a landlord and acc.u.mulate wealth?”
“That’s… that’s not what I want…” Yun Qi did not know how to explain. Putting aside the fact that he was trapped right now, it was impossible for him to try and retaliate with weapons when faced with the President.
The President said, “From today onward, the Yun family is barred from partic.i.p.ating in all construction projects. You can forget about doing related business too. All the powers of the Yun family are revoked. Dedicate yourselves to your own businesses if you want to be a landlord. Don’t ever touch business like this ever again.”
“I… I…”
“Why? Do you refuse?”
Of course, the Yun family dared not refuse.
Yun Qi had no choice but to say, “Yes… I understand. Mr. President, from today onwards, our family will definitely reflect on our misdeeds behind closed doors. I misspoke today. I was careless, very careless.”
He glanced at Gu Jingze beside him. Back then, he had worked with Gu Jingze to push him up the ranks and into the position of the head of the Gu family. Initially, he had wanted to oust that old fellow, Gu Xiande, out of the position. He had thought that the Gu family would potentially be much less of a threat without Gu Xiande. However, he had not expected Gu Jingze to be a young fox just as Gu Xiande had been an old fox.
He said, “Fine, fine. I admit defeat this time. I won’t interfere with the affairs of the Gu family anymore.”
Gu Jingze’s gaze fell to the butler lying on the ground.
The butler immediately felt s.h.i.+vers run down his spine. He looked up at Yun Qi who seemed not to acknowledge him at all. He immediately understood that the golden days of the Yun family were gone.
He withstood the pain and fell to his knees with a thud in front of Gu Jingze.
“Mr. Gu, President Gu, Master Gu, it was my mistake. I should not have instigated my family’s old master. I deserve to die. I beg you to spare my life.”
There was no way he could have thought that Gu Jingze would actually dare to oppose the Yun family. He did not care for reputation and did not fear to trigger a huge war either.
“I shouldn’t waste your bullets with my lowly life. Let me off just this once…”
Gu Jingze scoffed. “That’s right. You nearly caused a huge blunder and instigated a war between the Gu family and the Yun family. I don’t know how a person like you could have become the Yun family’s butler.”
Yun Qi lowered his head to look at this good-for-nothing. He gritted his teeth furiously and immediately told them to raise their guns. “This man put the Yun family up to this. It’s a heavy crime. Kill him.”
“Ah… Old Master, Old Master…” The butler turned pale from fright and hastily pleaded for mercy.
Gu Jingze said, “Forget it. It’s true indeed that it isn’t worth it to waste bullets on a person like this. I’ll hand him to the Yun family to deal with on your own. I still have some matters to discuss with Mr. President. I will be leaving first.”
Yun Qi said, “Sure, sure. Go ahead, go ahead. I will go back to reorganize the family business. I won’t have time to a.s.sist you again for the time being.”
Yun Qi watched Gu Jingze’s men retreat as Gu Jingze walked in the direction of the presidential office with the President. He stood there and registered what was happening only now.
Gu Jingze had formed an alliance with M Nation. M Nation had probably intended to completely revoke the Yun family’s powers a long time ago, but could not do so without help. Now, they had permitted Gu Jingze to make use of them and had therefore formed an alliance with him.
The President had deliberately asked Yun Qi to come to the presidential office to make him leave his house. After leaving his house and before entering the presidential office, they would usually confiscate all weaponry to prevent potential threats to the President. In the process, the staff at the presidential office found out the number of weapons and informed Gu Jingze so that he could get ready and block the road directly. Gu Jingze made him say treasonous words so that the President could obtain a legitimate hold over him.
Ha. Sure enough, he had lost…
After the Yun family’s powers were revoked, the entire M Nation quaked.
And the people who had attended the gathering immediately got anxious.
Han Chengen saw the news in his room and stayed silent for a long time.
Fine, fine. Gu Jingze was formidable.
In that case…
It seemed to him that to keep this secret under wraps, he had no choice but to resort to some drastic actions.
“Get someone to keep an eye on Gu Jingze’s departure details. The moment he enters the airport, I’m going to destroy him…”
“Sir, if we do that… the Gu family will definitely not let us off. Even the President of M Nation won’t let us off either…”
“Pack up your belongings. We… we’re going to leave M Nation.”
“Sir…” Everyone gaped as they looked at Han Chengen.
Han Chengen closed his eyes. “I must protect Zichen’s secret. I won’t allow her to return to her former life. I promised to make her happy for the rest of her life. I…”
“Chengen, what exactly is my secret…” Just then, a voice at the doorway shocked everyone…
Han Chengen turned his head. “Zichen…”
