Chapter 853: Why Torment Each Other
Yang Po made use of his power and suppressed all the hot news before the sun rose. After all, he had powerful support; he was City A’s Mayor.
Suppressing some news was not a difficult thing to do.
But his attempt was still too late. Shen Qianshu, Lin Xiaojuan, and Xu Ning broke out the news together, with Shen Qianshu providing evidence. The news was already all over the internet. Although discussions of this matter would be blocked, netizens’ nosy nature could not be stopped too.
Yang Po and Gu Xie both became sensitive topics; discussion threads would be blocked each time anyone mentioned anything about them.
Everybody substituted those two names with Gu Movie King and Yang XX. After all, algorithms to crawl through the internet could only identify and block exact keywords.
Even though not all the discussions could be suppressed, it was already considered very successful. Compared to the huge chaos in the middle of the night, it was already much better. Shen Qianshu already predicted that these pieces of news would not see the daylight. Thus, she decided to break them out in the middle of the night.
She threw him a blow in advance.
Because of this, Shen Qianshu’s Weibo account was even locked.
She was livid!
Yang Po received many calls from the Central. His superiors had already sent someone to investigate this matter. It would slowly develop into a contest.
“I told you long ago that you can’t belittle these two sisters, but you just wouldn’t listen to me. If you had settled this earlier, it would not have spiraled into this mess today,” Jing Yun said.
“Stop it.” Yang Po was feeling vexed and did not have much patience.
Jing Yun pursed her lips. If it not because of Lin Xiaojuan, would this mess have occurred?
He was a victim, but he became someone living on a razor’s edge instead.
“Mayor Yang, Mr. Gu Yuanli…” Before the housekeeper’s words landed, Gu Yuanli walked in. His whole body was filled with anger, and his expression was cold and evil. He came forward, clenched his fists, and harshly threw a punch at Yang Po.
“You scumbag!”
Jing Yun screamed in shock.
“Gu Yuanli, what are you doing!” Yang Po was furious. Gu Yuanli was someone skilled in martial arts. His punch caused Yang Po’s head to spin and his vision to turn blurry. His face also immediately became swollen. He still had to attend an important meeting today, and it would be live-streamed. It was truly aggravating having to go on television with a face like his.
“You actually used Gu Xie as a shield to dodge the bullet. Are you human?” Gu Yuanli was mad. “He is your nephew. Are you crazy?”
Jing Yun was shocked. What nephew?
Yang Po was also stunned.
“You… you mean?” Yang Po widened his eyes in shock. “How is that possible!”
“You pushed him in front to shield yourself from the bullet. Do you believe that I will shoot you now, Uncle!” Gu Yuanli was almost going crazy. “It’s fine that Yang Family did not want us brothers back then, but how could you actually dare to treat Lil Sixth as a scapegoat. If there is anything wrong with him, I want you to pay with your life!”
Yang Po’s anger slowly dissipated. “I didn’t know. You didn’t tell me before either!”
“Yang Family does not even care about us brothers’ life and death, what do you want me to tell you about?” Gu Yuanli said softly while his hands balled into a fist. He badly wanted to shoot Yang Po and avenge Gu Xie.
Yang Po remained stunned for a moment before saying, “His surgery is very successful. He will be fine. Yuanli, one who does not know is innocent. Don’t be angry anymore.”
“One who does not know is innocent?” Gu Yuanli clenched his fists tightly. “What a great excuse!”
“Yuanli, sit down. Let’s talk about some things.”
“I have nothing to talk to you about.”
“Have you gone crazy? We are your family members. What are the people of the Gu Family? They are enemies!” Yang Po yelled out loud. “You recognized a thief as your father for so many years, did you become so happy that you forgot your original roots? Is that how it is?”
