"The battle will be quite big tomorrow. The Ye family has reserved a hall in the Yangyuanzhai State Guesthouse. The Jin family, the Wang family and the Gu family have all received invitations. It is said that the witness will be a mysterious guest. All of these, the standards are not low."

Shui Qingzhang introduced it this way.

Li Yuanlang was puzzled and asked casually: "Isn't Ye going to marry his daughter tomorrow?"

"It's true that she is a married woman, but Xue Lu believes that this is the home of the Ye family, so she must do everything perfectly. You know that the Chang family is not on the same level as the Ye family. The wedding is on the right day.

If you look at it in the capital, you can see that Chang Ming's life in the future will not be any easier than yours."

Shui Qingzhang was moved by his thoughts, as if he had opened the floodgates of speech, and started talking eloquently.

"You don't know, your sister's wedding was held in a very low-key manner, mainly because Mr. Wang doesn't like to make it public. They just set up three banquets at his house and invited all their relatives and friends. None of the senior officials were disturbed."

"People of their generation strictly abide by discipline and don't take this matter seriously. Xue Lu didn't do this. On the surface, she was trying to give your sister some credit. It meant that the Ye family was capable and capable. In fact, she was humiliating the Wang family and keeping a low profile with them.

Organize a wedding for your sister and Wang Song to express your dissatisfaction."

"Another point is that Xue Lu is currently speaking out in the Ye family. She relies on her brother's authority to pull the flag and take advantage of the tiger's skin. This woman is really annoying."

It's rare for Shui Qingzhang to express his inner feelings directly when he doesn't like a person.

Just as Li Yuanlang was about to continue this topic, there was a knock on the door, and Gu Zhenggang pushed the door open and entered.

"Qing Zhang..." Seeing Li Yuan Long, Gu Zhenggang said smoothly: "Yuen Long is here too."

After saying hello, Gu Zhenggang handed the two invitations in his hand to Shui Qingzhang. After sitting down, he said directly: "Ye will marry his daughter tomorrow. My eldest brother and I are not going. Qingzhang, if you and Yuen Long can represent the Gu family, please

Attend it."

This is easy to understand. The Gu family suffered a great disaster, Gu Zhengchuan was suspended, and Gu Zhenggang's promotion failed. How could these two brothers have the nerve to meet other people?

"Okay, let's go." Shui Qingzhang nodded decisively and agreed.

Li Yuanlang asked Gu Zhenggang why he wasn't there when he didn't see Uncle Cai during breakfast.

Gu Zhenggang then said: "Brother Cai has gone out for something, I think he will be back tomorrow."

After chatting for a few words, Gu Zhenggang stood up and left.

Shui Qingzhang looked at his back and murmured: "Acai went to Huadu."

"Oh?" Li Yuanlang was stunned, "Why is he going to Huadu?"

"I believe he is visiting someone, Chen Zifeng." Shui Qingzhang clasped his hands behind his back, his eyes always staying outside the window.

Chen Zifeng?

Li Yuanlang remembered that this old man was also a highly respected man.

What he didn't understand was why Ah Cai went to see Chen Zifeng.

He couldn't blame him, after all, he knew very little about the older generation, especially old leaders like Mr. Gu and Chen Zifeng who had been in high positions and had retired for many years.

This is what is often called the problem of pattern and vision.

Shui Qingzhang told him about the grievances that Chen Zifeng and the old man had back then.

"Ah Cai went to Huadu to help with the Gu family's predicament. Chen Zifeng is that person's boss and has shown support to that person. His words will be taken seriously by that person."

Li Yuanlang knew that that person was another big figure who had a disagreement with Bai Qing's father.

"I'm very surprised. The old man has always been at odds with Chen Zifeng. It's not an exaggeration to say that they are mortal enemies. Will Ah Cai succeed in finding him?"

Shui Qingzhang couldn't help but mutter.

Now, the Gu family's thinking has been clear. After learning that there are differences among the top management in handling the Gu family's matter, they directly attack the key points, but they don't know what the effect will be.

No matter how you say it, the end of the Gu family's crisis is good news for the Gu family's children, as well as Shui Qingzhang and Li Yuanlang.

"Yuen Long, actually I think it's a good thing if something happens to the Gu family."

"What? A good thing?" Li Yuanlang looked at his father-in-law in confusion.

"Yes." Shui Qingzhang nodded and said: "Judging from this incident, the Gu family, especially a large family with a profound background, acted quickly and decisively, with steady and ruthless tactics when faced with life-or-death matters. In order to

For the benefit of the family, I use all tricks and do everything. Compared with them, I feel inferior."

Oh, Li Yuanlang understood what his father-in-law was referring to.

"Dad, I understand what you mean. In front of everyone, Uncle Cai slapped Uncle Cai to do it to show me, because he wanted me to be so bad-tempered that I wouldn't be willing to help."

"What else?" Shui Qingzhang asked.

"I questioned my uncle and scolded Gu Han for the same reason."

"Yes." Shui Qingzhang nodded with satisfaction, "This is just a superficial phenomenon. Ah Cai came back to take charge of the overall situation this time. I guess it should be part of the old man's instructions before his death."

"The children of the Gu family are so arrogant that they can hardly put their eyes on anyone. However, when it comes to Uncle Cai replacing Boss Gu as the head of the family, they are surprisingly unanimous. They all tacitly approve of it. Do you know why?"

Li Yuanlang shook his head and didn't know.

What he understood was only superficial and superficial, and naturally he did not know in depth. This had nothing to do with the fact that he had little dealings with the Gu family.

After all, Shui Qingzhang is the uncle of the Gu family for more than thirty years. He must have seen and known much more than Li Yuanlang.

"Ah Cai is very loyal to the Gu family, especially the old man. The old man's biggest wish is that the Gu family cannot be separated or fall apart. The Gu family's brand will never fall and will last forever."

"He understands his children. They are three brothers and sisters. Although they have very different personalities, they have one thing in common, which is that they are very selfish. This kind of mentality will sooner or later cause the Gu family to fall apart and go their separate ways. This is what the old man least wants to see."

"He will take advantage of Ah Cai's loyalty. Before his death, he will definitely leave Ah Cai with many tips and tricks that will be useful at critical moments. I can guess this, and so can Boss Gu and the others."

"Ah Cai replaced Boss Gu as the head of the family because of the things he hides. You see, once he is used up and has no use value, it will be a matter of time before he is kicked out of the house."

"Since ancient times, the most ruthless emperor's family. In order to achieve the goal, any means can be used, any method can be used. As for Gu Chuang secretly hurting you, in order to adopt your child to Gu Zhenggang, Gu Zhengchuan doesn't even think about it.

Family love, by any means necessary.”

"It looks ruthless, but I think this kind of decisive mentality also has its own advantages. There is a saying that kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. In this world, the strong will always be feared and the weak will be bullied.

."

"For example, if someone always scolds you and bullies you, is it better to reason with him or beat him up and knock him down? I think most people will choose the latter."

"It looks simple and crude, but the effect is the best."

"Yuen Long, I haven't done a good job at this point. I hope you can be inspired to deal with things in the future with decisive and bold methods, and learn to be ruthless. This will be very good for you."

It was rare that his father-in-law said so much, and Li Yuanlang benefited a lot from it.

At about nine o'clock in the morning on the second day of the Lunar New Year, a black red-flag car carrying Li Yuanlang and Shui Qingzhang drove out of the old house and went straight to the State Guesthouse.

Until they left, there was still no news of Ah Cai's return, so I didn't know how effective his trip to Huadu was.

Anyway, Gu Zhengchuan is still like an ant on a hot pot, with a frown on his face.

The Gu family's old residence is within the second ring road, not far from the State Guesthouse.

In addition, during the Spring Festival, many people from out of town left, and the capital almost turned into an empty city. The once serious traffic jams no longer exist.

Therefore, it didn't take long for the red flag car to drive in from the east gate.

Along the way, there were several checkpoints set up. Fortunately, the car had a pass, which saved a lot of trouble and made the journey almost smooth.

It was the first time for Li Yuanlang to come to such a mysterious and solemn place, and he felt slightly nervous.

From the corner of his eye, he saw Shui Qingzhang sitting upright and upright like him.

Even though his status is equally noble, I believe Shui Qingzhang should come back to a place like this for the first time.

Yangyuanzhai is located in the courtyard of the State Guesthouse and has the reputation of "a garden within a garden".

Because this is an important place for high-level foreign guests to receive important foreign affairs activities, the State Guesthouse is not easy to enter, and Yangyuanzhai is not accessible to ordinary people.

Therefore, Li Yuanlang's experience has become very precious.

After the car stopped, he and Shui Qingzhang walked to the small door one after another.

The plaque above the door is the inscription Yangyuanzhai written by Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty.

Not only is there a dedicated person guarding the door, but they also have to hold the invitation and check its authenticity before letting you in.
