Chapter 1593: The Incident of Anger

Chapter 1593: Chapter 1593: The Incident of Anger

It’s been quite a while, and everyone inside the old house was anxiously waiting. Everyone was less worried about Gu Fan being in danger than they were concerned about him doing something outrageous.

Finally, the door opened and Gu Fan returned. As soon as he stepped inside, he saw everyone’s astonished faces.

Lu Yi spoke first: "My God, man, you’re finally back. Do you have any idea how worried we were?"

"Sorry for coming back late and making everyone anxious," Gu Fan said with an ease that made it seem as if he had just done something trivial.

Su Hui furrowed her brow, her expression growing solemn. She took a step forward and everyone made way, feeling that it was most fitting for Su Hui to question Gu Fan.

"Where did you go? What did you do? Don’t tell me you went looking for trouble with those big shots," Su Hui’s questions were tinged with displeasure, as if warning Gu Fan not to give her an answer she didn’t want to hear.

In response to this, Gu Fan merely smiled faintly: "That’s right, I did seek out the number three and happened to run into the number five as well. So I told them we should get along peacefully; you don’t mess with me, and I won’t mess with you. Additionally, regarding Hai’s matter, I don’t want a second occurrence. As compensation, they must provide the medicine to Jie without charge, otherwise Organization X can do whatever they did back then, and so can I."

On hearing this, everyone exchanged looks. Although Gu Fan made it sound simple, the process seemed to have been far more harrowing than he described.

"What happened after that?" Everyone was more concerned about what happened next.

Gu Fan shook his head: "They didn’t agree at first, but after a mix of soft and hard tactics, we eventually reached a consensus. They agreed to hand over the remedy as compensation to Jie."

"Was it really that easy?" Everyone measured Gu Fan with doubtful eyes.

Under the intense gaze of Su Hui, Gu Fan had no choice but to frankly admit that he had captured the number three and five individuals, and with their lives at stake, he exchanged them for the medicine that could cure Jie.

"My God, you really did it," the expressions of everyone were full of horror. The thought of Gu Fan offending those big shots left everyone feeling that trouble was brewing and life would be difficult.

Su Hui was already very angry, but she still managed to suppress her rage, then closed her eyes and sighed.

Just as Su Hui was about to say something, Gu Xiaojin spoke first: "Dad, I support you. It’s because those big shots schemed behind the scenes, causing Hai’s death by your hands, making Uncle Jie hate you, ruining your friendship with Uncle Jie. You really should do something for Uncle Jie."

Lu Yi nodded as well: "That’s right, after such an incident, we can’t just let it go. Knowing full well the relationship between Hai and you, they still sent Hai to deal with you, and they nearly took the lives of Helen, me, and your daughter."

Yes! That was exactly what Gu Fan thought. Initially, Gu Fan only considered not affecting everyone’s daily lives, which is why he promised not to lay hands on those big shots.

But those big shots were cunning, only assuring not to disrupt the normal lives of Gu Fan’s friends and relatives, with no promise to avoid endangering the lives of Gu Fan’s companions in the event of a fight.

As it appeared, once there was another conflict, more people would get injured in the fight, or even lose their precious lives, Hai being a case in point.

Naturally, Gu Fan could not let such a tragedy happen again, so he went to see those big shots to renegotiate the terms.

Everyone began to support Gu Fan, and after thinking it over, Su Hui also felt that this indeed had to be done—it wasn’t right to always take a beating without fighting back.

However, something that particularly concerned Su Hui was Gu Xiaojin’s support for Gu Fan, firmly standing by his side and encouraging him, almost as if Lin Xi had truly returned.

It was Gu Ling’s turn to ask: "This matter is concluded for now, regardless of those big shots’ reactions or how angry they might get. What I want to know is, what happened after that?"

This was a question everyone was eagerly waiting to have answered, so they all turned their eyes to Gu Xiaojin, suddenly putting her under pressure.

Gu Xiaojin laughed dryly, looking somewhat embarrassed: "Well... do you really want a spoiler?"

One thing after another, Gu Fan felt it was too time-consuming, so he asked Gu Xiaojin to spill all the details of what happened after, to let everyone know what the future held.

This was not a minor spoiler, and Gu Xiaojin had to weigh her words carefully, as they might create a rift among everyone.

After much urging from everyone, Gu Xiaojin finally wavered and decided to divulge the events that were to unfold in the future.

Soon, various powers began to underhandedly target Gu Fan, involving his company affairs, Gu Ling’s studies, and so forth, which really annoyed Gu Fan. After communication failed, the two sides formally split and war broke out in full scale.

In the beginning, the conflict was not too intense, but then those big shots actually recruited Jie and Lin Yue to take on Gu Fan, completely infuriating him, with severe consequences.

In this showdown, Gu Fan was unstoppable, effortlessly killing three big individuals, which made everyone recognize his formidable power.

The remaining big shots, realizing they were no match, wanted to negotiate peace and even came to see Gu Fan as their equal.

But with the upper hand, Gu Fan actually demanded those big shots to submit to him, declaring that from then on, everything would be under his say.

Those big shots naturally refused, believing that Gu Fan shouldn’t have absolute control, so the battle continued, with Gu Fan executing several more of them.

During the course of the conflict, some unexpected things happened—conflicts arose between Gu Fan and his friends, leading to a falling out, and some even acted to harm Gu Fan.

By the end of the battle, Gu Fan essentially dominated and controlled everything, with his influence and henchmen everywhere.

To consolidate his position, Gu Fan made some extreme moves, and his actions did not gain the approval and support of his friends, leading them to drift apart from him one by one.

At first, Gu Fan didn’t blame anyone, believing that they would one day understand his actions, that one day he would regain their recognition and support, as they had come so far together.

But when Gu Fan realized that he had been schemed against by his friends, he was profoundly let down, and what hurt him the most was that his beloved wife Su Hui was also plotting against him, leading everyone in an uprising to overthrow him.

Having experienced betrayal by all, Gu Fan finally cast aside all kinship, friendship, and love, step by step he became the enigmatic man behind the mask, becoming immensely cold and ruthless.
