Chapter 1300: Chapter 1304: Brothers

Gu Junzhu held his arm, looked at him for a moment, then nodded, “Okay, I agree to your request.”

Duan Yanbing’s gaze was somewhat dull, not expecting Gu Junzhu to agree so easily.

Because of his father’s mistake, the Gu Family was thrown into chaos, and Gu Junzhu suffered a lot.

If it wasn’t for Gu Junzhu’s foresight and coming up with the gigolo plan, the situation now would definitely be worse.

Before seeking Gu Junzhu, he had agonizingly pulled out a handful of his own hair.

He knew that making such a request to Gu Junzhu was excessive.

But he was also aware of his father’s power.

His father was a formidable figure, wealthy enough to rival a country, and the Black Gold Organization was vast like a small nation, with many loyal followers ready to die for the cause.

Although Gu Junzhu’s power and ability were not weak, they lacked the “ruthlessness” his father possessed.

His father had a dark history, and although the Black Gold Organization had whitewashed itself, it still engaged in many gray area activities.

They played the legal boundaries, never breaking the law, yet maximizing their benefits.

Laws are made by people.

And anything made by people has its loopholes.

The Black Gold has the world’s largest team of lawyers, whose sole job is to find these legal loopholes and create opportunities for Black Gold.

His father, in order to get what he wanted, could be ruthless and unprincipled.

But Gu Junzhu was the most upright person.

They still strictly abided by the national laws, followed the rules, and never overstepped boundaries.

A law-abiding person versus someone who exploits legal loopholes at every turn.

Both were equally matched in power and wealth.

When such two individuals clashed, even though Gu Junzhu could win, it would certainly come at a heavy cost.

The bodyguards of the Gu Family, now as close to him as brothers.

If the Gu Family really fought with his father, casualties were inevitable.

The death of a few bodyguards for the Gu Family might be trivial to his father.

But for him, even one casualty in the Gu Family would be excruciating.

He did not want to see such an outcome.

Thus, he had no choice but to shamelessly ask for Gu Junzhu’s mercy.

Where there’s war, there are casualties.

He hoped, by humbling himself and pleading, to convince Gu Junzhu to give up the idea of seeking revenge against his father.

He thought maybe Gu Junzhu would consider their brotherly relationship and spare his father.

But he did not expect Gu Junzhu to consent so easily.

He even thought he would have to kneel outside the Gu Family’s gate for three days and nights to move Gu Junzhu.

Looking at his very surprised expression, Gu Junzhu chuckled, patted his shoulder, “Yanbing, your father is my elder, and I am the victim this time. If I don’t pursue this matter, consider it as my gift as a junior to him as an elder, but Yanbing…”

He looked directly into Duan Yanbing’s eyes and said, “This time I forgive him, not because of anything else, but because you are my brother, and this incident only affected me, hurt no one else. If I sought revenge, whether he died or was crippled, it would hurt you, and essentially, I’d be seeking revenge on you. Seeing you in pain wouldn’t make me feel any better, it would be like punishing myself… Such an unprofitable deal, I won’t do it.”

“Fifth Brother…” Duan Yanbing looked at Gu Junzhu, his voice choked with emotion, “I’m sorry… it’s my fault…”
