Gu Jinlin could scarcely believe his ears.
Gu Jinxuan said, “You see? My mother has never considered the good of our Gu family. She only knows how to protect the Zhou family. Our younger cousin is so nice, but my mother was even tempted by that degenerate Zhou Yaozhu. If she makes this a habit, someone else in the family might be hurt next!”
Anger arose in Gu Jinlin’s heart. He looked at the jammed room door and gritted his teeth. “Keep her locked up. Don’t let her out no matter how much she shouts!”
With that, he turned and walked away quickly. One could tell how angry he was just from looking at his vanishing figure.
Gu Jinxuan shrugged. Really, he had to play his trump card before his brother would harden his heart.
Third Brother really did dote on Younger Cousin!
That night, the Gu house was unusually quiet. Zhou Ping kept screaming. Although she shouted for a long time, no one in the Gu family would respond to her.
Gradually, it grew late, and everyone went back to their rooms. Zhou Ping knew it was useless to carry on shouting. If she shouted for too long, the Gu family servants would despise her, so she stopped shouting.
Gu Yundong slept in a hotel that night and went to work the next day.
Gu Jinlin had classes in the morning, and he went to school too.
That afternoon, Second Uncle Gu Yuncheng was in his office when his phone suddenly rang. He picked it up. It was Gu Yundong on the line.
“Second Brother!”
“Third Brother? Can I help you with something?”
Gu Yundong clutched the phone and sighed. “I… I really do need your help with something.”
“Tell me.”
“I… it’s my brother-in-law. He really hasn’t committed any crime lately, but he has committed many crimes in the past. Can you help me send him to jail for two years?
“I’ll send you the information. I’ve just arrived in the capital and don’t have the influence. You have many connections. Lend me a hand.”
Gu Yuncheng raised his eyebrows. “Third Brother, have you thought it through?”
Gu Yundong said, “Yes, I have. It was Little Five who pointed out to me that Jinlin’s mother doesn’t think straight, and if I don’t curb her, then there will be trouble sooner or later. We’ll do this and make him go to jail for two years. Then we’ll settle his previous problems so that even if anything happens in the future and these matters are dragged out in the open, no one can use it as a hold on him because he has already paid for his crimes.”
Gu Yuncheng smiled. “Sure, I’ll see to it. Third Brother…”
Gu Yuncheng paused and said, “Actually, you should have done it long ago.”
Gu Yundong was stunned. He hung up, then sighed heavily!
With Gu Yuncheng’s position, once Gu Yundong sent him the information, he managed to settle the matter with a few phone calls.
Meanwhile, Gu Jinxuan was looking for Gu Jinhang.
Gu Jinhang was in his own study. Amusement flashed across his eyes when he saw Gu Jinxuan enter, but he wore his usual smile. “Little Five, why are you here?”
Gu Jinxuan smiled, “Second Cousin, I need a favor.”
Gu Jinhang laughed. “What is it? Tell me about it.”
Gu Jinxuan said, “Help me remove Zhou Yaozhu’s job, then make him stay in a detention center for half a year.”
Gu Jinhang was pouring tea, but now he froze.
He raised his head and looked at Gu Jinxuan. “Are you serious?”
“Of course I am,” Gu Jinxuan said, “Second Cousin, I know you have many connections. You’re not as straight-laced as Oldest Cousin. You’re more flexible and adaptable.
“I know that Zhou Yaozhu has done many bad things in the past, but he’s not a hardened criminal! He has made many enemies in private, and he has used money to solve his problems. But I want him to be taught a lesson, and then we can use the opportunity to settle all those shady things he has done.. If these things are found out in the future, he won’t be considered to have ‘escaped justice’. Don’t you agree?”
