Since the old man had spoken, Mrs. Yu dared not disobey.
As soon as Mrs. Yu left, the old man called her and said, "You can come now."
Everyone looked at each other, wondering who the old man would ask to come
After a while, people came.
I know everyone in the Gu family, but I haven’t seen him for a long time.
This man's surname is Kong, Kong Chaoshan. He was my grandfather's most capable subordinate. Most of the Gu family's assets have been handed over to Gu Chengping, but there is still a part that Kong Chaoshan is in charge of.
Although Kong Chaoshan's surname is Kong and he seldom comes to the Gu family, he is still the person that Mr. Gu trusts the most.
Kong Chaoshan walked up to the old man and bowed to him.
"Everyone here please go to the study. This is not the place to discuss business." The old man was about to stand up with the help of crutches. Gu Chengdong and Su Ran, who was sitting next to him, hurriedly reached out to help him.
Zhu Huiyu was pale and panicked, and subconsciously looked at Gu Chengping for help.
Gu Chengping was worried that the old man must have something important to tell him when he called Kong Chaoshan. He was wondering if the old man was going to give Kong Chaoshan's property to him. But he met Zhu Huiyu's eyes. Gu Chengping's heart skipped a beat. Why did Huiyu look so bad? Could it be that Huiyu or the Zhu family had caused something to make the old man unhappy during his business trip
Gu Chengping deliberately fell behind, his eyes sharp, and asked Zhu Huiyu quietly: "Is it you?"
"I...how would I know." Zhu Huiyu didn't dare to admit it. When the old man told everyone present to go to the study, she knew that what happened today must be related to Su Ran, but she also held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that it had nothing to do with her.
"It's better if it has nothing to do with you." Gu Chengping gritted his teeth.
Gu Yunchen hesitated. If it was really that, he couldn't stop it. His grandfather was so serious, he must have obtained the evidence.
Gu Yunchen couldn't tell how he felt.
The old man sat down at the main seat, and the others took their seats one by one. The old man glanced at Su Ran and said to Kong Chaoshan, "Let's start."
Kong Chaoshan took out a stack of information from his briefcase and wanted to give it to the old man. The old man gestured to give it to Gu Chengdong and Gu Chengping.
The two took the information and looked through it, and Kong Chaoshan began to speak.
"At 2:46 p.m. on the eve of the Chinese New Year last year, an accident occurred on the escalator from the fourth floor to the third floor of a certain shopping mall..."
Gu Yunchen's heart sank to the bottom. It turned out to be this matter. So this was what Su Ran talked about with the old man last time
Gu Yunchen looked at Su Ran. Su Ran's hand was held tightly by Han Dong. They both looked very calm. Did they know this before they came
Why didn't you tell him
Zhu Huiyu's palms were full of sweat and she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
The Gu Chengdong brothers also looked extremely unhappy. Although they had not finished reading the information, they had a rough idea in their minds.
Kong Chaoshan continued, "The perpetrator is called Li Jun. He insisted that he just wanted to steal Lu Yu and Su Yicen's wallets and didn't mean to hurt anyone. But the police found out that Li Jun had sent a huge sum of money home before, a full 500,000 yuan. How could an unemployed vagrant who made a living by stealing get so much money? Li Jun's confession was inconsistent. He said that this was his savings over the years, but the bank didn't have any information about Li Jun's savings. Then he said that he borrowed from a friend, but he couldn't say who this friend was, and he couldn't make sense."
Han Dong knew all about these circumstances; Bai Yuming had already told him. Li Jun was unable to justify himself so he simply pretended to be dumb and refused to confess. The police couldn't do anything about him and were very curious about how Kong Chaoshan found a breakthrough.
"But this morning, Li Jun confessed that the 500,000 yuan was given to Li Jun by his wife's driver, Lao Song, who asked him to kill Su Yicen without anyone being able to find evidence. He would be given another 500,000 yuan after the killing." Kong Chaoshan looked at Zhu Huiyu and said, "Lao Song has been taken into custody by the police."
Zhu Huiyu lowered her head, her hands shaking.
"Zhu Huiyu, you...how could you do such a thing?" Gu Chengping simply couldn't believe that the person next to him actually hired someone to kill someone, but Li Jun's confession was clearly written, and Lao Song had already been arrested, so he had no choice but to believe it.
"Hui Yu, you are too confused. What deep hatred do you have that requires you to do this?" Gu Chengdong was also extremely annoyed. The Gu family actually had a murderer. This was a fatal blow to the Gu family.
"This matter has nothing to do with me. I don't know." Zhu Huiyu said softly. She slowly raised her head, looking distressed, and murmured: "I really don't know, I don't know..."
"Yes, I did have an argument with Su Yicen, but that's all in the past. I didn't expect Old Song to do this..." Zhu Huiyu said aggrievedly. Now she could only hope that Old Song would not give her away.
Su Ran watched Zhu Huiyu acting coldly. One million for a life. Lao Song is just a driver. Does he have so much money to help you hire someone to kill someone
The old man said calmly: "Hui Yu, you still have a chance now, explain the matter yourself."
"Dad, I really didn't do that. You have to believe me." Zhu Huiyu cried, "I am the daughter-in-law of the Gu family. How could I do such a stupid thing just because of a few words?"
The old man sighed and was completely disappointed with Zhu Huiyu.
Gu Yunchen saw this and advised, "Mom, just tell the truth!"
If he told the truth, apologized sincerely, and doubled the compensation, perhaps the old man could convince Su Ran not to pursue legal responsibility.
"What do you want me to say? Do you have to force me to admit something I didn't do? Yunchen, is there anyone who treats his son like you?" Zhu Huiyu said angrily.
The old man said solemnly: "It seems that you won't cry until you see the coffin."
Kong Chaoshan took out a recorder and pressed the play button.
Lao Song's voice came from inside: "Mr. Kong, I have no choice. I don't want to do this kind of thing. It's my wife who forced me to do it. The one million was given to me by my wife. Where did I get the money... Mr. Kong, you have to believe me and save me..."
Kong Chaoshan turned off the recording and said, "The police will not interrogate Lao Song for the time being."
Then Kong Chaoshan handed the recorder to the old man, which meant that Zhu Huiyu's life was now in the hands of the old man.
Zhu Huiyu knelt down in front of the old man: "Dad, I was wrong, Dad, please save me, I was angry and confused, Dad..."
She was somewhat confident that Old Song would not betray her. Kong Chaoshan was a very cunning man. He must have used some tricks to make Old Song tell the truth. But it didn't matter anymore. Now that the truth was revealed, her life and death depended on the old man's decision. She could only beg him to let her go.
The old man remained indifferent, his face gloomy.
Zhu Huiyu cried, "Dad, please consider that I have called you dad for more than 30 years, for my dead father, and for Cheng Ping and Yun Chen's sake. If I go to jail, how will Cheng Ping and Yun Chen hold their heads up in the future? Dad..."
The old man looked at his crying daughter-in-law expressionlessly and asked painfully, "You know that what you did would make Cheng Ping and Yun Chen lose face, bring shame to the Gu family, and make your dead father restless in the underworld. Why did you still do this?"
