Chapter 210: Didn’t Second Grandpa ask you to bring Auntie back together?

Chapter 210: Chapter 210: Didn’t Second Grandpa ask you to bring Auntie back together?

Gu Mu was stunned and could only watch as the two were taken away, passing out from the shock.

The reporters waiting at the Gu Family’s door witnessed the scene and sprang out from the flowerbeds like they’d hit a jackpot, frantically taking photos!

They quickly uploaded them online.

Not far away, a discreet Bentley Mulsanne drove past.

Qi Hengli, leaning out of the car window, saw the scene and was startled.

"What the hell! Uncle, it looks like Uncle Gu and Brother Gu were taken by the police!"

Those policemen were dressed in plain clothes and driving private cars, which was pretty respectful towards the Gu Family.

Qi Hanyu glanced over there, unsurprised.

"With such a big issue, it was only a matter of time before Gu Mingde was involved."

Qi Hengli, recalling recent events, found them thrilling. He never thought his little aunt was actually the daughter of the Gu Family! And that Sister Yiyi was a fake.

These days, he’d been busy surfing the web, doing nothing else, and called Qin Mo, trying to get firsthand gossip. To his surprise, Qin Mo ignored him and nearly blocked him on WeChat!

Qi Hengli mused, "I didn’t expect Uncle Gu to be so bad. It’s one thing not to acknowledge Little Aunt as their biological daughter, but to bully Uncle Qin is another. When they were on the show, Brother Wenxuan mocked Qin Mo, but it turns out his own achievements were stolen from Uncle Qin Yuan!"

Qi Hanyu grunted in agreement but said nothing.

"By the way," Qi Hengli suddenly remembered, looking seriously at him, "Uncle, if Little Aunt is the true daughter of the Gu Family, then doesn’t that make her cousin’s arranged marriage partner? So will she be marrying him or..."

Before he could finish, he was met with a cold, warning gaze from Qi Hanyu, full of pressure and warning. Qi Hengli shivered, instantly silenced.

This is a bit messy; he needed to sort it out...

As he sorted through it, he suddenly remembered something else and looked at the person in front of him with confusion:

"Right, Uncle, didn’t Grandpa tell you to bring Little Aunt back to meet him? Why did you come back alone?"

Qi Hanyu: "..."

He didn’t respond, only shooting another icy, warning gaze again.

Qi Hengli, trying again: "..."

He felt inexplicably chilled, shrank back, rubbed his arms, and quietly rolled into the corner to stay silent.

He’d better just watch the drama unfold.

In just a few minutes, the news of Mr. Gu and Gu Mingde being taken away spread rapidly online.

Major marketing accounts and media outlets released photos taken at the Gu Family’s door.

"Suspected Chairman of Gu Group and Mr. Gu Wenbai taken away together? Did the two commit a crime?"

The gossip-hungry netizens exploded, all clamoring for more.

"Oh my gosh, really? Is something this big happening?"

"Based on the photos, it seems real! Even if they’re in plain clothes, it’s clear Chairman Gu and Gu Wenbai are led away."

"This is intense! Eating the gossip line has led to a criminal case, @BeijingPolice, investigate thoroughly! There’s definitely something big with the Gu Family!"

"Probably related to Gu Wenxuan’s academic fraud with bribery and improper transactions? And finally found clues for when Gu Wenbai framed Brother Qin years ago?"

"Emm, could it be that they were just working together? What kind of police doesn’t use patrol cars when arresting people? Hackers, stop making things up!"

"It’s just a normal economic dispute. Don’t most wealthy people deal with this kind of trouble? Standard checks and they’ll release them, don’t you know that? Don’t you have business people around you?"

"Tsk, diehard fans will defend anything, even with evidence slapped in their face."

"..."

The internet was instantly abuzz with chaos.

Speculation about Gu Mingde and Gu Wenbai being taken away kept growing.

Gu Zhi was unaware of these events until Qu Qi mentioned them, but she didn’t care much about it; she didn’t take it seriously.

Whether Gu Mingde and Gu Wenbai had issues was not her concern; it was the police’s job.

She remained focused on filming. The pace of this production was fast, shooting was smoother than the director had anticipated, and the cast was dedicated and professional.

The director concentrated several days on Gu Zhi’s parts, shooting them all at once. She didn’t expect to finish steadily, especially with so much happening!

Gu Zhi wasn’t affected at all, performing as usual.

As the first episode of "Dear Family" aired, it blew up online again. The speed at which Gu Zhi’s followers increased felt like a rocket, soon surpassing ten million, reaching fifteen million.

Father Qin and Mrs. Qin also gained fame, dubbed the nation’s parents by netizens who envied Gu Zhi for having such parents.

The comments under Gu Zhi’s Weibo were half fans of Father Qin and Mrs. Qin.

"Wuwuwu, Father Qin and Mother Qin are like fairy parents. I missed out big by not watching the live stream!"

"I really want to try Mother Qin’s cooking. Would she consider opening a restaurant? I’d eat there every day!"

"Just wondering, where can I buy the kind of hat Father Qin made? I dream of having a hat made by a dad./cry. I’m really jealous of Zhi Zhi."

"When’s the next live broadcast? Since following the variety show, I’ve found life unbearable without the Qin Family./tears"

Dai Qian, looking at the comments below, felt envious. Father Qin and Mother Qin were genuinely famous now. Who would have thought a pair of ordinary variety show parents could gain such a following?

Unfortunately, Gu Zhi didn’t want to register accounts for Father Qin and Mother Qin, fearing it would disrupt them; otherwise, interacting with the family on Weibo during off-season would attract so many fans.

That would all be like snowflake cash!

Still, Dai Qian didn’t give up, suggesting: "By the way, hasn’t Aunt considered opening a restaurant? With your family’s popularity, any restaurant would thrive, and it’d be like your family business, right?"

Gu Zhi: "..."

She’d heard Big Brother mention it before, but after the last show ended, there was no further talk, so she didn’t pursue it.

Before she could answer, she received a call from Qin Ji about the matter:

"Zhi Zhi, are you free tonight? Mom and Dad have picked a location for their new restaurant; are you free to help choose?"

Gu Zhi was a bit surprised, curling her lips, "Sure."

"I’ll come to the set to pick you up in a bit."

Gu Zhi answered, setting the phone down just as a staff member hurried over to her: "Ms. Gu Zhi, there’s a man outside the set who wants to talk to you."

Gu Zhi frowned slightly, almost able to guess who it was, still, she asked, "Who?"

"Not... not sure, but he looks like Gu Family’s second young master, Gu Wenfan. I had the security try to send him away, but he wouldn’t leave and insists on seeing you."

Gu Zhi frowned slightly but showed no change in expression. She put down her script and walked to the outside of the set—it was indeed Gu Wenfan.
