Longkou District, Gujia.
Gu Tongshan's wife sat on the sofa, grabbed her son's wrist and asked in a trembling voice: "Yu... What do the Yu family want from you?"
"I don't know either." Gu Baishun shook his head and replied, "But don't worry, Mom. Xu Hu is dead. They won't do anything to me."
"I'm just afraid that after Xu Hu dies, someone will get impatient and want to punish us!" Gu Tongshan's wife said worriedly, "Although Xu Hu is greedy, he still has some friendship with your father in mind. If he were alive, he wouldn't do anything too drastic. But those people in the union are different. They are ruthless and will eat people without leaving any bones. Those old men have been coveting our family property for a long time!"
"Mom, don't worry. No matter what, I won't let them hurt you." Gu Baishun comforted her softly, "At worst, we can just hand over the money Dad has saved. If we give them the money, nothing will happen to them."
Gu Tongshan's wife lowered her head, murmured with tears in her eyes, "... Mom is also incapable and cannot protect this little family business. Alas, I wanted to use this little money to let you start a business, get married and have children soon, and live a good life..."
"Mom, please don't say that. You raised me and gave me a good education, which is already fulfilling your parental responsibilities." Gu Baishun comforted her again: "Please don't think too much, don't worry, don't get angry, life is just a matter of time..."
In the empty room, Gu Baishun comforted his mother for a long time before turning around and leaving the house.
…
An hour and a half later.
Su Tianyu drank bottled coffee, forced himself to stay awake, and sat in the car, waiting quietly.
“Squeak!”
An ordinary car stopped by the roadside. Gu Baishun pushed the door and got out. He glanced at Su Tianyu nervously, then walked over with a slightly hesitant step.
Su Tianyu was sitting in the car and pointed to the passenger seat. Gu Baishun paused, opened the door and got in the car.
"Hello... Hello, you are Mr. Su, right?" Gu Baishun asked stutteringly.
Su Tianyu glanced at the other person and said, "Yes, it was Wei Xiangzuo who asked me to find you."
"Oh, what's the matter?" Gu Baishun asked with a blink.
Su Tianyu looked at Gu Baishun in the dim light and found that this person sat with his legs crossed, his face was pale, and he looked very uneasy. It seemed that he came here with great difficulty.
"Wei Xiangzuo asked me to tell you that your father's death has nothing to do with him, and it has nothing to do with the Yu family." Su Tianyu whispered back, "Xu Hu is using you, because without your support, he can't hold on to the power of Zannan. Cheng Gang said that before, and he also discussed it with Xu Hu, which is why Wei Xiangzuo wants to kill him."
Gu Baishun swallowed his saliva and immediately nodded and replied: "My family knows that this is Xu Hu's doing. He and my father have been at odds for a long time because of the gold brick business. He has also wanted to take the position for a long time, but he never had the chance."
Su Tianyu felt relieved when he saw that Gu Baishun was talking to him. "Just make your own judgment."
"Yeah." Gu Baishun paused for a moment, then took the initiative to say, "Tell Brother Wei that everyone in our family believes in him. I have heard of his reputation in Zhannan over the years."
Su Tianyu nodded: "Xu Hu is gone, but the elders are still here. Wei Xiangzuo will not be free during this period. He is afraid that something bad will happen to you outside."
Hearing this, Gu Baishun immediately added, "Something will definitely happen. Many people are coveting my family's property, especially those from the Elders' Council. Think about it, Xu Hu, who used us, is gone, and Brother Wei is in trouble. There is no one outside to help us, and they will definitely be unable to sit still."
"That's what I want to talk to you about." Su Tianyu followed up on the other party's words and replied, "Old Wei is thinking about you. He asked me to tell you that no matter if he is outside or not, no one will touch you and your mother. Just rest assured."
"Okay, okay!" Gu Baishun nodded.
"When he's away, just call me if you have anything to say." Su Tianyu immediately replied, "We will definitely help if we can."
"Thank you."
"But," Su Tianyu did not beat around the bush with Gu Baishun, but said directly: "We and Lao Wei are also in a cooperative relationship. We have contributed, so you have to understand."
"You say, you say!" Gu Baishun replied.
"If you want to support Lao Wei in being the leader of Zhanan, you have to speak. Do you understand what I mean?" Su Tianyu asked the other party.
Gu Baishun immediately realized it and nodded repeatedly, saying, "I understand. I will tell the General Association that my father has always wanted Brother Wei to be his assistant and join the General Association."
Su Tianyu looked at the other party: "It's not easy for us now. We have to stick together for warmth, otherwise the people from the Elders' Council will take advantage of us."
Gu Baishun thought Su Tianyu didn't trust him, so he immediately swore and replied: "Mr. Su, I swear on the light that I will definitely support Brother Wei to be the leader! If you lie, I will turn off the light!"
Su Tianyu looked at the other party's excited expression and replied a little speechlessly: "No... No need to do this, I just said everything I should say."
"I definitely support Brother Wei. I believe in his character." Gu Baishun added again.
"Okay, that's it. We'll talk over the phone if we have anything." Su Tianyu stretched out his hand.
"Thank you for your help." Gu Baishun shook hands with Su Tianyu: "Then I won't waste your time. I'll leave first."
"good!"
After the two finished communicating, Gu Baishun seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief, and pushed the door open and left with a ruddy face.
Su Tianyu sat in the car looking at his back, thoughtfully.
Gu Baishun walked quickly to his car, stretched out his hand to pull the door, and a fruit knife hidden at his waist fell to the ground with a snap.
Su Tianyu looked at him speechlessly and in astonishment, at a loss for a moment.
Gu Baishun kicked the knife away awkwardly, got into the car as if escaping, and drove away.
After a while, Kong Zhenghui got into the car with a cigarette in his mouth and asked softly, "Do you think this kid can inherit his father's business?"
Su Tianyu started the car, thought for a while and replied: "I can't tell."
"Fuck, is there someone you can't see?" Kong Zhenghui was a little surprised.
"There's nothing wrong with his reaction." Su Tianyu frowned and replied, "If this person... is not a timid coward, then he is a very cunning person."
"Is there no other possibility?" Kong Zhenghui asked.
"No." Su Tianyu shook his head.
"Damn, we have to be careful of him. After all, his father died at our hands." Kong Zhenghui replied.
Su Tianyu did not answer this question. Instead, he picked up the phone and dialed Wang Daolin's number: "Hello, Uncle Wang, what's going on?"
"Damn it! I will definitely hold him down!" Wang Daolin bent down and boarded the police helicopter: "I'm leaving the area now."
"If you fail to kill the snake, you will be bitten by it instead!" Su Tianyu reminded.
