The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 536: Chapter 537: Gu Changsheng Lowers His Head

Gu Changsheng glanced at Gu Qing’er’s already swollen cheek with the corner of his eye, as if his heart was being pierced by thousands of arrows.

”It was wrong of me to do that.” Gu Changsheng lowered his head.

”I hope that in two days, there won’t be any company or industry related to the Gu Family left in Jiang City, or you’ll bear the consequences.” Ye Qingcheng said.

”Yes.” Gu Changsheng replied.

”Grandpa Tian Chen, let’s go back.” Ye Qingcheng smiled and said to Tian Chen.

Tian Chen kicked Gu Changsheng to the ground with disdain and said, ”Next time when hiring bodyguards, don’t hire these useless wastes, they’re of no use at all, my body hasn’t even warmed up yet.”

”Grandpa Tian Chen, people of their kind will certainly hire such bodyguards, it’s nothing unusual. Do you think they can find some masters? You overestimate these people.” Ye Qingcheng said affectionately, holding Tian Chen’s hand.

Tian Chen nodded: ”That’s true, after all, they’re all third-rate goods.”

After Ye Qingcheng and the others left, Gu Changsheng, with a face full of tears, came to Gu Qing’er and asked, ”Qing’er, how are you?”

Gu Qing’er felt a burning sensation on her face, but surprisingly, even though it was the first time Gu Qing’er had been hit, she did not break down in tears, not even shedding a single drop, but her eyes were filled with intense hatred.

Gu Changsheng reached out his hand, intending to cup Gu Qing’er’s face, but fearing it would make her hurt more, he carefully placed his hand at a certain distance from her cheek.

”It’s all Grandpa’s fault, Grandpa didn’t protect you well.” Gu Changsheng continued.

Gu Qing’er shook her head, she also knew that Gu Changsheng had no way just now.

”Grandpa, it’s not your responsibility, but I absolutely want revenge, Brother Changfeng will definitely help me get justice this time, won’t he?” Gu Qing’er asked, looking directly at Gu Changsheng.

Gu Changsheng sighed helplessly, given the current situation of the Ye Group, even Su Changfeng probably can’t do much, and just now that gold-haired man named Tian Chen was especially strong, even Su Changfeng would probably lose to An Ren, how could he help?

”Qing’er, Changfeng might also not be a match for Ye Qingcheng.” Gu Changsheng said helplessly.

Gu Qing’er didn’t agree with Gu Changsheng’s words, saying, ”Impossible, Brother Changfeng can definitely handle that Ye Qingcheng, she’s just a small fry.”

Gu Qing’er’s inexplicable confidence in Su Changfeng made Gu Changsheng sigh internally because he knew the gap between Su Changfeng and Ye Qingcheng very well. The Ye Group has been causing quite a stir in Jiang City recently, but Su Changfeng hasn’t taken any action, which means he’s particularly afraid of Ye Qingcheng.

If Su Changfeng had the ability to confront Ye Qingcheng, he would have done so a long time ago, he wouldn’t just watch the Ye Group do all those things in Jiang City.

”I’ll contact your father now, the only way for the Gu Family to remain uninvolved is to withdraw from Jiang City’s business scene.” Gu Changsheng said, taking out his phone.

Gu Qingwen rushed back to the Gu Family Mansion after receiving the call. Seeing Gu Qing’er’s swollen cheek, he was full of disbelief.

At the Gu Family Villa District, how could Gu Qing’er get hit? No one would come to their house to make trouble.

The only explanation Gu Qingwen could think of was that Gu Changsheng had hit Gu Qing’er. However, Gu Changsheng had always doted on Gu Qing’er and would never hit her. Even if he did, he wouldn’t hit that hard.

”Dad, what happened, did Qing’er do something wrong?” Gu Qingwen asked puzzled.

”Qingwen, from now on, the Gu Family will withdraw from Jiang City’s business scene, and you can handle it.” Gu Changsheng said.

These words further confused Gu Qingwen. The Gu Family had been in Jiang City for decades, and the family business should continue to be passed down. Why would they withdraw from Jiang City? And if they really withdrew, all the achievements over the years would be handed over to others.

”Dad, are you losing your mind? Why do you want to withdraw from Jiang City’s business scene?” After saying this, Gu Qingwen thought for a while and suddenly remembered Ye Qingcheng, because Ye Qingcheng had said so to him before.

Could it be that Ye Qingcheng came to the Gu Family today, and the injuries on Gu Qing’er’s face were caused by Ye Qingcheng?

This thought made Gu Qingwen’s chest heave with anger.

”Dad, did Ye Qingcheng come?” Gu Qingwen gritted his teeth and said.

”The Gu Family definitely doesn’t have the strength to fight against the Ye Group, and withdrawing from Jiang City’s business scene is the only way to keep the Gu Family from getting dragged into this.” Gu Changsheng said with a face full of helplessness.

The businesses the Gu Family has now are the result of Gu Changsheng’s struggles back then. Now, having to withdraw from the business scene he built makes Gu Changsheng particularly unwilling, but if he doesn’t do so, there’s no other way to confront the Ye Group.

If they really intend to go against the Ye Group, it would be tantamount to slow suicide.

”Dad, are you really afraid of the Ye Group?” Gu Qingwen asked suspiciously. In the past, Gu Changsheng was particularly bold and never bowed to any difficulties.

When Gu Qingwen was a child, he witnessed Gu Changsheng dealing with many particularly tricky issues, and no matter how difficult, Gu Changsheng could eventually handle them. Has he lost all his courage due to age?

”Afraid?” Gu Changsheng’s face was pale. Previously, he had indeed feared nothing, and it was his courage that established the Gu Family as it is today.

It could be said that Gu Changsheng had never feared anyone in his life, but this time, he indeed feared. The Ye Group established by Ye Qingcheng not only crushed the Gu Family financially but also outmatched them in force.

When Gu Qingwen saw Gu Changsheng nod, it felt like he was seeing things, as it was his first time seeing Gu Changsheng full of helplessness.

”Dad, with our foundation in Jiang City, even the Ye Group can’t shake it. Why are you afraid? Moreover, we can team up with Su Changfeng, can’t we drive the Ye Group out of Jiang City?” Gu Qingwen said with a face full of unwillingness.

”Do you know how I toppled those enemies of the Gu Family before?” Gu Changsheng asked Gu Qingwen.

Gu Qingwen shook his head.

Gu Changsheng explained: ”Whenever I couldn’t bring down an enemy through business, I’d find other ways, even resort to dirty tactics, but now the Ye Group can treat us the same way. Funds are just a part of one’s strength; the most important thing is a strong fist, only with a strong enough fist can one stand firm.”

”But don’t you still run a martial arts school?” Gu Qingwen said.
