From BOSS to Canon Fodder: She is Currently Out of Service!

Chapter 193: Chapter 96: The Deranged Su Lolita

Su Jiameng resolved part of her worries, and the remaining effects of the drug gradually took over. Just as she wanted to sleep well, the menacing and unyielding teaching system wielded a small whip urging her to get up and work like a horse, leaving a woeful expression on her face.

Similarly, Du Chenshuang felt the same way as Xiao Meng, being a damned soul who not only failed to investigate the case but also stumbled onto another secret.

All those thugs had their memories erased, and their personal data in the brain database was destroyed. The city’s surveillance system had been tampered with at that time, so nobody knew what happened except the people involved.

The police checked each registered account one by one to identify these thugs and followed this lead to continue their investigation...

However, the conclusion they came to was shocking! Du Chenshuang did not find evidence of Gu Ningxuan’s crimes but instead uncovered his woeful experience of being targeted for murder. As the matter came to light, knowing what was used to assassinate Gu Ningxuan made cold sweat break out on his forehead.

To be honest, even if Gu Ningxuan made a huge mistake, the blood flowing in his veins was still that of the Gu Family.

Most families have this quirk—the child is ours, we can hit them if we want, scold them if we like, that’s our right. But if someone else dares to do the same, watch out, or we’ll cut you down with a knife!

Clearly, the Gu Family couldn’t escape this quirk either. Although Gu Ningxuan was expelled from the family, he still enjoyed some veiled protection from them. While they couldn’t ensure he would live well, his life wasn’t in danger.

And now, some wastrels from the Qiu Family seemed tired of living and secretly hired assassins to kill Gu Ningxuan; the severity of this act was extreme!

Du Chenshuang reported this matter to his superior, and General Qin pondered for a moment, ”Continue investigating this matter, but don’t make it too obvious. Gu Ningxuan was only expelled privately, and it hasn’t been made public, meaning the old man of the Gu Family still has his considerations and might not easily give up on this son...”

Seeing Gu Ningxuan expelled and wandering to the Qiming Star offered a different interpretation to General Qin.

Rather than saying the Gu Family abandoned this son, it was more like they were making a contingency plan. If this third son truly matured through this ordeal, he might choose to hand over the Gu Family to this son.

As for the previous accusations... heh, erasing an obscure secret is quite simple for a family like the Gu Family. This is also one of the reasons why the Xilena Academy’s records don’t explicitly state the reason for withdrawal.

Of course, if this third son doesn’t grow to the expected satisfactory level, then he might truly be discarded. At that time, with no ties to the Gu Family, no matter how accomplished this son might become, Gu Ningxuan would remain just Gu Ningxuan.

In other words, Gu Ningxuan is still the invisible heir of the Gu Family for now...

The Qiu Family’s intolerable attempt to harm the Gu Family’s heir is suicidal, isn’t it? Even if the assassination wasn’t authorized by the entire Qiu Family, as long as those acting were Qiu Family members, the entire family would be accountable, not just any single family member.

If Mr. Gu knew General Qin’s thoughts, he might spit out three liters of blood. He truly did expel this insufferable son, hiding his criminal stains still for the sake of father-son affection, hoping that once this child was out, he wouldn’t suffer too much due to past events.

Carrying the label of ”Gu Family’s outcast” was already hard enough. As for the issue with Xilena’s records, the reason is the same!

So, things aren’t as complicated as General Qin imagined. However, because of this notion, General Qin mentioned this in a meeting with Mr. Gu and said meaningfully, ”No matter how grave this kid’s mistakes are, he’s still a child of the Gu Family. He mustn’t die at the hands of outsiders, or it would be too disgraceful if word got out...”

Mr. Gu’s face remained as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he ordered his people to investigate. Lo and behold, the Qiu Family bastards really did intend to kill his son. What further infuriated Mr. Gu was to hear about his son’s narrow escape from a colleague...

Mr. Gu is upright, and this refers not only to his personality but also to his style. Creating a rumor to target the Qiu Family is definitely not an option, as it goes against his principles.

But flexibility is necessary, so a furious Mr. Gu immediately accused the other side of illegally using military secret weapons, relentlessly harassing the Qiu Family. The misuse of weapons is no small crime, and since the Qiu Family’s foundation is in commerce, they can’t compete with the Gu Family’s local clout in military and governmental circles, leaving them severely distressed.
