Chapter 847: Chapter 847: How Else Can You Argue?!

The Rong family couple watched the situation unfold, exchanged a glance, and silently sipped their tea.

Rong Kexi didn’t understand the current situation.

Wasn’t there suspicion about Gu Yu’s identity earlier?

How come now they’ve confirmed he’s the real young master, but then Jin Siyue appears?

Is today’s matter related to him too?

She really wanted to know the answer, but a glance at Zhao Lang across from her scared her with the coldness in his eyes.

Such a look made her feel a trace of fear.

Instinctively, Rong Kexi moved closer to her mother.

Jiang Li held her teacup, and quietly tutted.

Zhao Lang appeared so gentlemanly, who would’ve thought he was this ruthless behind the scenes.

She wondered why He Pingzhang stayed at Dragon Ridge Island all the time; even considering the tourism project, he shouldn’t be that dedicated.

Turns out he was there to watch over someone.

Gu Qiang was nearly distressed to the breaking point.

"Si Yue!"

She shouted and tried to rush over, but was swiftly restrained by Zhao Lang’s men.

Gu Qiang glared at him bitterly, her teeth nearly shattering, "Gu Yu, what exactly are you trying to do?!"

God knows how much her heart hurt at this moment!

The son she cherished so much was being abused like this by Gu Yu!

She originally thought he had safely arrived in England and was living well.

After all, she had her trusted people constantly reporting Jin Siyue’s situation.

Who knew he had been kept on that desolate island by Gu Yu for half a year!

Look at what her son has been tormented into!

At this moment, the previously unabashed look in Jin Siyue’s eyes was gone, and he simply looked at his mother with tears.

Gu Qiang had no choice but to cast a plea for help towards Old Madam Gu.

Yet, Old Madam Gu did not scold Zhao Lang, she simply asked, "What exactly happened?"

Zhao Lang turned back to meet her gaze.

"I’m sorry, grandma, for scaring you. I didn’t want to blow things out of proportion, but the actions of Gu Qiang’s family were too excessive, and coupled with her targeting me overtly and covertly today, I couldn’t help but bring this matter to light."

As he spoke, he stretched his hand towards Yu Fei, who immediately handed him a document.

Zhao Lang opened the file and placed it in front of the elderly couple.

"Yes, I have been to Chixia Village, not for anything else but to investigate a company-related economic case. Some financial flows involved that place, so I went there personally to investigate and indeed found something."

He looked at the trembling Gu Qiang, his eyes smiling,

"Do you remember the murder I encountered in the village before? I had investigated it long ago; it was done by Jin Siyue and that person. I hadn’t exposed it because, after all, we’re all relatives on the surface, and tearing faces isn’t pleasant—"

Gu Qiang’s face was already devoid of color.

She desperately glanced at the file Old Madam Gu was flipping through, and her vision went black, almost fainting.

"It’s not like that, Old Madam, mom, it’s not like this...."

Zhao Lang continued, "I won’t mention the minor issues later, but it would have been fine if Gu Qiang only targeted me. However, she shouldn’t have dragged others in, especially when it involved dozens of lives."

Zhao Lang’s words inevitably shocked everyone present.

Rong Junsheng was also a bit astonished.

He originally thought the Gu Family had strict family discipline and such things wouldn’t happen.

Unexpectedly....

Hah, sure enough, there are no clean families in the Capital among these few.

The Gu Family is no better than the Rong Family.

Thinking of this, Rong Junsheng’s mind calmed considerably.

But the feeling of Rong Kexi, who never got involved in these matters, wasn’t as pleasant.

Though she was no saint in her methods, dealing with Su Yinwan was an example, the thought of having to interact with someone like Gu Qiang in the future did bother her somewhat.

Indeed, her mother was right; in families like theirs, there’s hardly anyone whose hands are clean.

Old Madam Gu and Gu Shengrong looked at the contents of the file, and their expressions gradually darkened.

The data in the file was detailed, even including photographs.

While flipping through, Gu Shengrong sneered repeatedly, "Murder, hiding corpses, smuggling wolves, illegal fundraising... well, Gu Qiang, you’ve done well, your skills have grown."

Hearing the old man’s voice, Gu Qiang’s body trembled violently.

Then she suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud, pleading as if begging, "Dad, it’s not like this, let me explain, I—"

The old man squinted slightly, his voice not loud, yet full of deterrence.

"The evidence is all here, how do you plan to argue? Today with outsiders present, you dare to slander Gu Yu and still do such things behind my back! Don’t call me dad, I have no daughter like you!"

"Mom, sorry, I really haven’t..." Gu Qiang turned to Old Madam Gu.

Old Madam Gu’s expression, initially quite calm even when Gu Qiang repeatedly questioned Gu Yu’s identity, showed no significant reaction.

But at this juncture, her face was entirely expressionless.

With the royal blood in her veins, when angry, Old Madam Gu was indeed intimidating.

With a hint of cold smile, she nodded, "Well, Gu Qiang, knowing well that Yu’er is the only reminder Huaijin left for me, as his aunt, not cherishing him as much as you do Si Yue would’ve already sufficed, yet you diligently plotted against him, suspected him, and harmed him—what a ruthless heart! I thought these years had taught you better, didn’t expect you’d do such filthy deeds behind my back, truly disgracing our family!"

Hearing even the once-protective Old Madam say this, Gu Qiang’s heart fell completely into the abyss.

She crawled over with hands and feet, grabbing Old Madam’s pants leg, almost begging, "It’s not true, mom, it’s not like that, I got blinded by greed, I thought, I thought you didn’t see me as your biological daughter completely, believed big brother was your everything, how can I not be jealous?"

"As for the identity issue, the original Gu Yu—"

Old Madam squinted her eyes, commanding, "Shut your mouth."

Having never seen her this angry, Gu Qiang was dumbfounded and really closed her mouth.

She never imagined things would turn out this way.

Originally, she intended to use today’s opportunity to drive this "impostor" Gu Yu out, only to find he was genuine and had long prepared incriminating evidence against her.

Gu Qiang suddenly felt that she might be the one caught in the trap.

If it were truly like this..... then this man was terrifying!

Even Gu Huaijin wasn’t this terrifying!

Tears streaming down, Gu Qiang shook her head, "I’ve become what I am today, and it’s partly your fault. You gave me everything, gave me hope, then personally destroyed it. How can I be content? Why, why am I not the only daughter of the Gu Family, why? My actions, aren’t they out of fear—"
