In the novel, there is not much mention about the Gu family, and the real appearance of the Gu family is only in the extras. Lin Yize mentioned it when he solved Gu Shao.
On the contrary, Xie Yaobai, an important collaborator of the male protagonist, wrote a lot in the text.
- There is no detailed description of Xie Yaobai's identity and origin in the novel, only that Xie Yaobai was acquainted with Lin Yize at a business party, and then the two began to cooperate.
Xie Yaobai's business has grown gradually thanks to the Lin family's power and convenience in logistics and transportation, and Lin Yize has also obtained a lot of secret information and 'convenience' through Xie Yaobai. The 'convenience' in Xie Yaobai's hands is described vaguely in the novel, but it can be roughly seen that there is a certain big man behind Xie Yaobai.
A few years later, Lin Yize and Lin's Group became the top existences in City B, and therefore had the strength to deal with Gu Shao.
And Xie Yaobai also rose in response to the 'east wind' of the Lin family.
It was mentioned in the process that Xie Yaobai and Lin Yize worked together to solve a family with deep experience.
The novel does not name which family this family is. After all, there are countless cannon fodders and villains that have been dealt with by the male protagonist over the years.
But think about it...
—Could it be that the family that was solved inside was the Gu family? !
Thinking of this possibility, Gu Xi's face changed suddenly, and she couldn't help shivering, but the thoughts in her mind began to become clearer.
Linking all of this together, the plots in the novels that were ignored by Gu Xi before still surfaced one by one.
If the Xie Yaobai in the novel is the current Gu Yaobai, then everything that will happen to the Gu family in the future and what will happen to Gu Shao in the future also makes sense.
Gu Yaobai's biological mother, Yang Wanni, was only an ordinary nurse at the medical station back then, and because of her outstanding appearance, she was taken in by a mysterious senior.
After that, Yang Wanni and several other good-looking young girls were often sent to the high-level executives, sometimes the other party's residence, and sometimes some places to have fun.
Due to the identity and oppression of the other party, Yang Wanni could only submit.
—
That night, Yang Wanni didn't fall asleep while on duty, but someone added some kind of potion to the water glass that could cause confusion and confusion.
That night, Yang Wanni was in her office, Gu Qinghua was in her ward, and the two did not meet at all.
However, someone forged the evidence of the scene and surveillance, making Yang Wanni believe that she was violated by Gu Qinghua, and went to Gu Qinghua.
And behind all this, there is actually a bigger conspiracy.
At that time, Gu Qinghua was only a middle-level in the camp, but he became famous because of his outstanding performance and repeated military exploits. He was very sharp and Gu Qinghua was very capable, and the future was immeasurable.
The high-level man was not used to Gu Qinghua's promotion so fast, and thinking that his future position and rights would be threatened, he concocted such a conspiracy to destroy Gu Qinghua in advance.
The other party did not expect that since Gu Qinghua found evidence so quickly, he proved himself innocent.
—
Yang Wanni didn't actually die of illness, she was killed by people.
That high-level person knew that relying solely on Yang Wanni and the children to frame Gu Qinghua might soon find out the truth, so they made Yang Wanni's death, and planned to create a situation where Gu Qinghua was put on by Yang Wanni, the explanation was unclear, and he was afraid Affecting his future, he secretly killed Yang Wanni's illusion.
Unfortunately, it didn't work.
Framed never, in order to deal with the aftermath, the big man had to let Yang Wanni die of illness.
—
It took a long time for the turmoil to subside, and the high-level executive also died for a while.
It's just that that person never got rid of the idea of destroying Gu Qinghua and the Gu family. Especially after looking at the incident, the Gu family and Gu Qinghua himself were not affected. Instead, their position was getting higher and higher, and the reputation of the Gu family was getting higher and higher.
The purpose of the man behind it was to destroy the Gu family, and it took him many years to do it.
As the biological son of the other party, Gu Yaobai has done so many things to frame the Gu family behind his back, and it is not entirely because the big man took advantage of it: under the same roof, Gu Yaobai has always lived under the guidance of others and the Gu family. Under the shadow of his own son, it was his long-cherished wish to destroy the glory of the three brothers of the Gu family.
As for Lin Yize, he also took advantage of the situation to destroy Gu Shao, causing Gu Shao to go bankrupt and ruin his reputation.
"too frightening… "
Thinking of all kinds of things that were written or not written in the novel, Gu Xi suddenly felt chills all over her body.
Originally, she thought that she was only living in a book of ancient abuse of love brains, and everything that happened was just because of the bloody love between the male and female protagonists, but she didn't expect that there were so many terrible things that she couldn't touch. .
What's even more frightening is that the person behind the person who wants to defeat the Gu family seems to be a teacher of Old Master Gu.
…
Gu Xi squeezed the spoon tightly in her hand, trembling slightly, her palms were covered in cold sweat, and she didn't even notice that her knuckles had been pinched white.
Gu Shao on the side noticed the strangeness of Gu Xi, and asked Gu Xi in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Gu Xi was recalled to God by Gu Shao's voice, and instinctively shook his head.
Then he subconsciously looked at Gu Yaobai's place on the opposite side, fearing that he would be found by the other side and quickly shrink back.
Gu Xi tried very hard to resist the urge to leave the dinner table and tell the story of the novel with Old Man Gu and Gu Shao - I can't say it right now. Telling things in the novel will only think that she is mentally abnormal. And it might even startle snakes.
"No, nothing." Gu Xi bit the spoon and whispered.
Gu Shao glanced at Gu Xi quietly, making sure that there was nothing wrong with Gu Xi, and then loosened his slightly frowning brows.
"I won't eat it if I can't finish it." Gu Shao glanced at the mountain of delicious food in front of Gu Xi and said.
He was worried that this girl would spoil himself by rejecting the kindness of the three boys, the old man and Gu Yanlin.
After that, Gu Shao gestured at Gu Yanlin and the three with his eyes.
"Okay." Gu Xi nodded.
—
Gu Yaobai and Gu Xue'er stayed at Gu's house until after dinner in the evening before leaving.
During this period, Gu Xi remained vigilant.
In the front hall of Gu's house, Gu Xi's hand kept tugging on Gu Shao's clothes subconsciously until she watched Gu Yaobai take Gu Xue'er away, and the other party's car gradually drove away and disappeared in the Gu's courtyard, Gu Xi was relieved. , the tight strings loosen slightly.
Until Gu Xi found out that Gu Shao, who was next to her, had disappeared.
Gu Xi looked around in a panic, but didn't see Gu Shao, so she asked a few people around: "Gu, where is my father?"
"My dad, the second uncle, the younger uncle and the others went to the study just now." Gu Yanxiao explained.
Gu Yanlin also explained: "It should be to talk about things."
I don't know what Gu Xi was thinking about in a daze just now, but he didn't even notice when the adults left.
However, seeing Gu Xi's stunned look at this moment, Gu Yanlin secretly thought it was funny again - Haha, my sister is too cute, would you be regarded as a blame brother if you want to poke her face
Here, Gu Xi didn't know what Gu Yanlin was thinking, and nodded earnestly.
"Let's go, I'll show you something fun." Gu Yanxiao and the others said when they noticed that Gu Xi was a little absent-minded and thought she was bored.
And what they call 'fun' is to take Gu Xi to Old Master Gu's place to see the various photos taken by the Gu family in the past.
Of course, there are also ugly photos of their respective youthful and ignorant days.
—
"Xixi, look at this, guess who it is?" Gu Yanlin asked Gu Xi, pointing to a somewhat dated photo in the album.
"My dad?" Gu Xi answered almost without thinking.
The photo should be of Gu Shao when he was a teenager. This is also one of the few photos of Gu Shao in this album, and it was obviously taken secretly.
"How did you figure it out? I thought you would guess it was my dad." Gu Chenyi on the side said in surprise.
The second uncle and his father look very similar, especially when they were teenagers, they are super similar.
When Gu Chenyi looked at the album before, he had made a mistake.
Gu Xi glanced at Gu Chenyi, then pointed at the person in the photo and said, "Well, my dad's eye color is different from my uncle's."
It really is…
Gu Chenyi: "..." So he is stupid.
"Next book, next book."
"How many books does Grandpa have, why do I think there are more than the last time?" Gu Chenyi flipped through the other albums and muttered.
Originally, several people who couldn't sit still didn't like to look at photo albums, and they were all pulled by the old man before.
But today Gu Xi came, and the three of them suddenly found this session very interesting.
"This is from a few years ago. This is eldest brother, this is Gu Yanxiao, this is me, and this..." The three of them pointed to the photos in the album and explained to Gu Xi what happened during the photo shoot. fun.
"Fuck!" Seeing a certain photo, Gu Chenyi almost jumped up.
"Gu Yanxiao secretly took pictures in my group, when did Grandpa actually type it out!"
Although Gu Chenyi desperately wanted to destroy the corpse, Gu Xi still saw it: the photo should be from two or three years ago. In the photo, Gu Chenyi was sitting on the toilet with a bowl of snail noodles in his hand.
A boy with good taste.
Gu Xi commented in her heart, then raised her eyebrows and looked at Gu Chenyi: "Do you want to be there?"
Gu Chenyi: "..." God is so immersive.
"I was framed by Gu Yanxiao!" Gu Chenyi howled, "It's too embarrassing!
Gu Yanxiao, who was on the side, glanced at Gu Chenyi lightly: "What do you mean by being framed by me? Isn't this what you want to eat, and you have to go to the toilet to eat?"
"It's not you yet."
At that time, Gu Chenyi had appendicitis surgery, the doctor didn't let him eat too much, but the problem was that he was hungry.
So he fooled Gu Yanxiao to buy food for him secretly.
He didn't even say he wanted snail noodles! This is what Gu Yanxiao bought at his own discretion.
He wouldn't eat if he wasn't so hungry that he was hallucinating.
But while eating, Gu Chenyi found that it was still a little delicious.
"If you didn't buy it for me, and you fooled me into saying that this thing smells so bad, it won't be found in the toilet... I'm a ghost who believed in you!" Gu Chenyi complained: I just blame myself for being too young.
Gu Yanxiao held back a smile, patted Gu Chenyi on the shoulder seriously, and said, "Don't worry, I won't send this ugly photo of you to those girls in school who like you."
"If you say that, I'm even more worried." Gu Chenyi gave Gu Yanxiao a blank look, and took the photo album: "No, I have to destroy it now, and also delete the one in your phone for me!"
Before Gu Chenyi could move, Old Master Gu's voice came from behind him.
"What to delete! This is the history of our Gu family." Old Man Gu glared at Gu Chenyi. He made a special trip to collect these photos and asked his subordinates to type them out. They will be full of memories in the future.
Gu Chenyi: "..." No, he doesn't want to be this 'history'.
"It's just that there is no regret." It's a pity.
Grandpa Gu sighed with great regret.
Neither of them saw Xixi as a child. The only photo they found was when Xu Jiaofeng from the Lin family deliberately took Gu Xi out to throw it away, and then was sent to the police station by a well-meaning reporter and took it for revelation. Photo.
In the photo, Gu Xi was dirty, with tears all over his face. He was still holding on to the lollipop that only half of the lollipop was left after the fall. His eyes were helpless and scared.
That photo, Mr. Gu, felt distressed when he looked at it, and he didn't dare to take another look at it.
When I was a child, Xixi must be very cute.
Gu Gu Yanlin and several others were also thinking in their hearts.
"It wasn't there before, but there will be more in the future," Gu Yanlin said.
"Haha, yes, there will be more and more in the future."
"Come on, let's take a picture now." Gu Chenyi took out his phone.
Several people took the old man to take a few selfies with their faces.
Fortunately, the face value is high enough, so it is not so ugly.
Following a few people's commotion, Gu Xi's fears and concerns due to the plot in the novel and Gu Yaobai's remarks subsided a lot.
However, Gu Xi hasn't forgotten about that.
"By the way, Grandpa, do you have any previous photos of you?" Gu Xi asked.
Such an inquiry made the old man happy for a while: "Haha, Xixi still want to see pictures of grandpa?"
"Hmm." Gu Xi nodded.
Seeing this, the old man was in a good mood, and he didn't hesitate to go to his closet to rummage through the boxes again, and found an album with a sense of age.
Look at the comments on the first page of the album, this album should have been collected by their grandma.
"Look, this is the photo that Grandpa was sent to the army just now..." Old Man Gu introduced Gu Xi one by one.
Most of Mr. Gu's photos are official upper body ID photos, as well as some group photos.
This is exactly what Gu Xi wanted to see.
Gu Xi turned to a group photo with the names written in sequence at the bottom, her eyes fell on the names below, and she searched it carefully, but unfortunately she didn't find any one with the surname Xie.
After flipping through a few more pages, the only one named Xie seems to be younger than Old Master Gu. It should not be the teacher of Old Master Gu who harmed the Gu family in the novel.
However, Gu Xi still didn't want to give up, so he pointed to the person whose name corresponds to him and asked, "Grandpa, who is this person?"
"Is this?" The old man came over, recalled for a moment, and said, "This person is not from our class, but from the third class..."
"What's wrong?" the old man asked suspiciously.
Gu Xi quickly shook his head and said, "No, I just think this person looks a bit like the little brother who has been very popular recently."
Hearing Gu Xi's words, Old Man Gu didn't take it to heart, and muttered, "You little girls like this kind of looks, and it wasn't popular before us."
"Grandpa, do you have any other photos?" Gu Xi asked reluctantly.
"That's all, I didn't like to keep photos when I was young. Your grandma took care of them." After a pause, Old Man Gu smiled and looked at Gu Xi again: "What's the matter, Xixi still wants to see old photos?"
Gu Xi nodded, shook her head again, and found a reason: "I found that grandpa was super handsome when he was young, so I want to see it."
After a pause, Gu Xi added: "Master is also an old handsome guy."
Gu Xi's words amused the old man, and waved his hand again: "We didn't like to grow up well at that time, the ability is the last word, hahaha."
Even though he said that, the old man felt a shudder in his heart.
…
Gu Xi's gaze fell on the few photos that Gu Chenyi had posted to the group, which he had just taken. Her heart was warm, and she couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Whether it was before or now, this is a very happy family.
Whether it is for the service of the plot, or for the selfishness of some big people, why should the Gu family be the cannon fodder...
Gu Xi shook his head silently, a flash of determination flashing in his eyes.
—
the other side.
Gu Shao's cell phone message, who was talking about things in the study, also sounded at the same time, and received several photos that Gu Chenyi sent to the group.
"These guys." Gu Feng looked at the photo and smiled.
Seeing the photo, Gu Xi and a few boys in the family were also smiling brightly, and Gu Shao's eyes were a little softer.
Putting away the phone, Gu Shao continued the previous topic and said, "There is still some necessary evidence for the time being."
"Maybe Gu Yaobai can be used as a breakthrough." Gu Xuan said.
"It can be considered." Gu Feng said.
Gu Shao was noncommittal.
The three talked about how Gu Feng was seriously injured during the mission.
At that time, although Old Man Gu was already old and gradually retired, it was still the time when the Gu family was the most popular.
Coupled with the three sons, the Gu family's prestige became even more prosperous for a while.
Many people said behind their backs: Gu's family is afraid to go to another level.
At that time, Gu Feng was in the army, and he didn't even use the strength of the Gu family to rely on his personal exploits to reach a very conspicuous position in less than 5 years.
It was at that time that Gu Feng was seriously injured by an explosion during a mission that should have been without any risk, and he was also disabled.
Unlike Gu Shao and Gu Xuan, the boss of the Gu family really likes the atmosphere in the army. If it wasn't for that incident, Gu Feng would definitely still be in the army now, and it would never be possible for him to become a civilian.
—
As for the suspicious accident, at first, Gu Shao found some evidence pointing to Gu Yaobai, so he asked someone to take Gu Yaobai.
However, the Gu family had more evidence later, and found that this matter was more complicated than they thought. Gu Yaobai was on the one hand, and there were a lot of people who really participated in it.
It's just that the Gu family at the time was too big to attract wind.
And the one who led that accident was the person behind Gu Yaobai. The identity of the other party was not simple, but he was a teacher whom Mr. Gu respected very much.
This is also the reason why Old Man Gu and Gu Feng kept Gu Yaobai out, but Gu Shao did not stop him in private.
On the bright side, what others saw was that Gu Shao had a falling out with Mr. Gu because of this incident, and left Gu's house directly.
But in fact, Gu Shao inherited the position of the head of the Gu family. He left the Gu family in the face, but in fact it was to protect the people of the Gu family.
"Hey, what a pity..." Gu Xuan sighed lightly, "If it weren't for the fact that Gu Yaobai's clues were too important, his matter would have been resolved long ago."
Before Gu Feng was injured, it was true that there was not much about Gu Yaobai, but what happened on the day of his engagement banquet was indeed Gu Yaobai's handwriting.
- At first, Gu Xuan and his wife were only engaged, so naturally they didn't think about having children so early. But Gu Yaobai made some moves in private: Gu Yaobai wanted to frame Gu Xuan's new wife and Gu Shao for having a relationship, and even arranged the exposure the next day.
Fortunately, Gu Shao noticed something wrong in advance and informed him, otherwise, with the influence of the Gu family at that time, it might really cause a lot of trouble.
Although it wasn't the 'accident' at the beginning, and there would be no Xixi for this little cutie, but Gu Yaobai's wrongdoing cannot be justified like this.
It's a pity that the person behind Gu Yaobai has been in a high position for many years, and there are too many intricate networks. Even today, the other party has resigned from his position on the surface, but the actual power still exists.
The other party can't do anything to the Gu family easily, and the Gu family also owes the fire and can't handle the other party.
"It won't take too long." Gu Shao lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice.
…
When the three of them finished talking about the matter, and when they came back to the living room from the study, they saw that Gu Xi had already fallen asleep on the sofa, wrapped in the blanket that Gu Feng's wife Wang Pei had put on her.
"You three talk about things and look at the time." Wang Pei complained, then looked at Gu Xi and smiled, then turned around and said to Gu Shao: "I guess she is tired from playing today, so let her go to sleep in the room. The girl just refuses, she will wait here for you to come out if she says anything."
