Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Catering to His Preferences

For instance, why did he confess to causing Xiaoqiao’s mother’s death?

If he really started plotting from early on, just how early would that be?

They spent nearly every day with him; it made no sense they hadn’t noticed anything.

At the time Leng Tou told Shen Letian and Sheng Yu about it, Shen Letian had said if Gu Hangshen’s affection and indulgence towards Xiaoqiao was all an act, he would be willing to take off his own head to serve as a toilet for them!

If his series of abnormal reactions back then, such as the divorce, neglecting Xiaoqiao, and getting close to Gong Hannian, were a deliberate revenge, that would be understandable.

But to say he began plotting so long ago, murdered Xiaoqiao’s mother four years ago for revenge, and then framed Qin Yao and Xiao Rou—just by considering the fact that Gu Hangshen couldn’t possibly harm and use Gu Xiaorou, that claim couldn’t stand.

No sooner had Shen Letian finished speaking than Gu Hangshen, with his eyes slightly closed, opened them, "Huo Yandong must die."

Shen Letian coughed lightly, "Forget what I said."

"But relying solely on the police, it’s impossible to catch the culprit," Sheng Yu said helplessly.

Leng Tou spoke up, "It’s not that they can’t catch him, but that nobody dares to! The police officers in charge of capturing Huo Yandong back then mostly met with misfortune. The incident blew up, and afterwards scarcely anyone in the police force was willing to take on the case. That’s also why he has remained at large all these years.

Even the police don’t dare, let alone ordinary people. The warrants for him are virtually useless. The reason Huo Yandong has been able to get this far is that he’s ruthless!

However, his weakness is his arrogance, which leads him to underestimate his opponents, and Qin Yao’s appearance just happens to hit his Achilles’ heel!"

Hearing Leng Tou’s analysis, Shen Letian was deflated, "Boss should just run a gang. He’d definitely not do any worse than that old thief Huo Yandong! Then it wouldn’t be Huo Yandong’s turn to roam free like that!"

Leng Tou glanced at him, "Have the boss join a gang? Did you forget what his father’s profession was?"

Shen Letian coughed lightly, "Forget what I said!"

"So, without getting involved ourselves, we just watch from the sidelines, fueling the forces that can confront him to have them fight among themselves, right?" Sheng Yu mused.

"The boss must have someone in mind, right?" Leng Tou looked towards Gu Hangshen who was aside.

"Long Yan." Gu Hangshen’s thin lips parted and he uttered a name.

He wouldn’t have gone against his father’s will or been involved with someone from the underworld if it hadn’t been a last resort.

"Long Yan?" Shen Letian raised his voice an octave, "That guy is so weird, he’s not easy to get along with!"

"Play to his interests." Leng Tou’s gaze shifted slightly.

"Play to his interests? Oh~ play to his interests!" Shen Letian’s gaze inadvertently followed Leng Tou’s to fall on Sheng Yu.

Sheng Yu returned their looks expressionlessly, "Long Yan isn’t my type."

"Then what’s your type?" Shen Letian squeezed in with a snicker.

Sheng Yu never talked about romance, and the less he talked, the more Shen Letian wanted to know.

Suddenly, a mischievous smile hooked at the corner of Leng Tou’s mouth, "His type is..."

"Second brother!" Sheng Yu called out, a bit nervously trying to stop him.

Leng Tou, that mind-reading fellow, was a frightening presence! They had hardly any secrets from him!

"Oh! Does Third Brother have someone in mind? Spill it, spill it!" Shen Letian’s passion for gossip was instantly ignited, so much so that he forgot the serious matter at hand and didn’t even notice the low pressure emanating from Gu Hangshen.

Sheng Yu, annoyed by the gossipmonger, looked at him and stated emotionlessly, "Shen Letian, I like you."
