Chapter 359: Chapter 360: Sealed with Tape

Gu Family Mansion.

Gu Changsheng was making tea, while Liu Chen sat anxiously opposite him. The contrast was stark; one was calm and composed, the other as if his seat was on fire.

“Old Gu, are you really sure about Su Changfeng’s identity? What if Su Changfeng isn’t at all like you guessed? Then the Tang Group will really collapse. You said you wouldn’t get involved way too early. How can you not intervene in this? If you hadn’t said that, Zhou Chaohai wouldn’t have dared to be so arrogant,” Liu Chen said.

The matter of the Tang Group was known throughout Hai City, especially since Zhou Chaohai personally announced that anyone cooperating with the Tang Group would be against him. With that, all groups sided with Zhou Chaohai. In Liu Chen’s eyes, the Tang Family was destined to be destroyed.

“Why are you so anxious? Even if the Tang Group goes bankrupt, it doesn’t seem like you stand to lose anything, right? Why do you care so much about Su Changfeng?” Gu Changsheng asked with a smile.

“Su Changfeng is the most talented young Go player I’ve ever seen. If he puts in the effort, he will undoubtedly become a world-class master. Watching such talent go to waste, how can I just sit back?” Liu Chen explained.

“I advise you to give up on this thought. For Su Changfeng, playing Go is merely a pastime. He won’t rely on it for a living,” Gu Changsheng replied.

He’s the young master of the Beijing Su Family; it’s impossible for him to pursue a Go career. Even though Su Changfeng is highly talented, for him, it’s just a form of entertainment.

“Why? If he gains fame, he can prove he’s not a coward, right? The opportunity is rare; does he not want it?” Liu Chen asked, puzzled.

“A coward?” Gu Changsheng shook his head and replied, “Putting that label on Su Changfeng would be a laughingstock.”

“Then explain it clearly. Let me understand. What exactly is Su Changfeng’s status that you hold him in such high regard?” Liu Chen anxiously sat beside Gu Changsheng, feeling as if something was crawling inside him.

Su Changfeng’s true identity was indeed formidable, and even Gu Changsheng dared not speak of it. But seeing Liu Chen in such a state of urgency, Gu Changsheng also felt he couldn’t hold back any longer.

“Old Gu, we’ve known each other for quite some time. Don’t you understand my character by now? Am I the type to let secrets slip easily?” Liu Chen continued.

Gu Changsheng stood up, took a deep breath, stretched a bit, and said, “I can tell you, but you must remember, this must not be disclosed to anyone else. If you talk in your sleep a lot, then I suggest taping your mouth shut at night, or I can’t guarantee what might happen to you.”

“You’re just bluffing. I want to see just how big a deal it is. Would speaking out really have such serious consequences?” Liu Chen sneered.

Gu Changsheng chuckled and said, “I think you should believe me. It’s really that serious. Otherwise, why would I be so afraid?”

“Fine, fine, I’ll do as you say, tape my mouth shut while sleeping.” Although Liu Chen said this, it was clear he didn’t quite believe it.

In his opinion, even if Su Changfeng had another identity, it couldn’t be that extraordinary. It was probably just Gu Changsheng exaggerating.

“Then pay close attention and listen carefully.” Even though Gu Changsheng was with the Gu Family, he still looked around to ensure no one else was nearby before whispering in Liu Chen’s ear, “Su Changfeng is from the Beijing Su Family.”

“Beijing Su Family?” Liu Chen mumbled, repeating the four words. His expression transformed from confusion to surprise, eventually widening his eyes.

Liu Chen immediately stood up, saying in disbelief, “You mean that he is…”

Gu Changsheng hastily covered Liu Chen’s mouth, saying harshly, “Old fellow, why are you shouting? Are you afraid others won’t hear?”

Liu Chen felt his heart pounding. In many people’s eyes, the Beijing Su Family represented the pinnacle in the country. Even though Su Tian’s death affected the Su Family somewhat, their deep roots made those impacts seem nonexistent.

But why was a well-known coward like Su Changfeng in Hai City a member of the Su Family?

The contrast was just too great, so overwhelming that Liu Chen couldn’t believe it nor dare to believe it.

A person from such a family marrying into a small noble family and enduring three years of humbling humiliations was simply unbelievable.

“Then why… why did he choose to do this? Frankly, just because of his position, even having your Gu Family work under him would satisfy you, right?” Liu Chen said.

Gu Changsheng glared at Liu Chen with displeasure but didn’t refute. What Liu Chen said was true. The Gu Family was the top family in Hai City, which meant there was no path left for them. However, if they could serve the Su Family, despite many constraints, the benefits for the Gu Family would still be significant.

“If I knew, I wouldn’t be so cautious. Precisely because I don’t know what he’s planning, I dare not reveal Su Changfeng’s identity to anyone,” Gu Changsheng said.

Because in his eyes, Tang Qiulu was merely one of Su Changfeng’s goals. There’s no way Su Changfeng would endure so many years just for Tang Qiulu.

He’s from the Beijing Su Family; surely, he isn’t short of women around him?

Although Tang Qiulu is very beautiful, she’s not the kind to bring down a kingdom. If Su Changfeng wanted, he could have many women more beautiful than Tang Qiulu.

“Then doesn’t that mean Zhou Chaohai and the others have met their end?” Liu Chen sighed.

Gu Changsheng chuckled disdainfully, saying, “You already know the answer, don’t you need to ask me? I’ve been fed up with those old guys for ages. Did they really think I didn’t know what tricks they were up to behind the scenes? Scheming against our Gu Family? They’ve just signed their death warrant, taking care of a significant problem for the Gu Family.”

“You old fox, from the start, you planned to use Su Changfeng to deal with them, didn’t you? That’s why you claimed you wouldn’t interfere with Su Changfeng’s affairs. A real sly old dog,” Liu Chen suddenly understood, looking at Gu Changsheng with disdain.

“Don’t talk nonsense. I don’t have the guts to do such a thing. I merely gave a nudge. It was Zhou Chaohai and the others seeking their own doom,” Gu Changsheng said proudly.

In the business world, this little scheme is nothing. Gu Changsheng truly didn’t use Su Changfeng for this matter, and he didn’t have the guts to use Su Changfeng.
