Chapter 1229 A Child“s ThreaGu Jingming added, “That’s right. We can’t deal with this because our positions restrict us. However, Lin Che can substitute us and deal with these trifles. I nominate her as well.” These few prominent figures had all stood on Lin Che’s side all of a sudden.
At this moment, someone else stood up fearlessly and said, “If the minority submits to the majority, she can’t possibly be the temporary substitute. We would rather have Jingming or Jingyu take charge for the time being!”
They clearly knew that it was impossible for Gu Jingming to act for Gu Jingze. As for Gu Jingyu, he had never been exposed to the family’s internal matters. Gu Jingze’s subordinates definitely would not obey his command too. That was why he had intentionally said it.
At this moment.
“You guys are trying to bully my mother because you know that my father isn’t around and there are no other men in my family, right?”
Just then, a slightly young-sounding voice traveled from the back. It was cold and laced with anger.
They turned their heads to take a look.
There were a few people trailing behind Gu Shinian. They walked in together with steady steps
Everyone recognized Gu Shinian.
As Gu Jingze’s eldest son, he was also the eldest grandson in that generation of the Gu family. Of course, everyone knew that his position and status was different from others.
On top of that, this child simply looked different from other children. Despite being young, he had an imposing aura about him.
Right now, there were four people behind him. They stood separately on either side and he walked between them. He was wearing a neat little dress shirt. His hair was clean and his face was fair. He looked just like a little angel, but there was a slightly cold aura about him. When the others looked at his eyes, it was as if they were looking at his biological father who had recently disappeared.
He was just as cold.
The people down below had not expected this child to step forward at this time. Why did he rush here now?
This child was about to turn five and still looked tiny. However, when he looked at people, he was extremely aloof and cold. Although people felt that he was good-looking, they really could not bring themselves to like him.
The main reason was because they stood on Lin Che’s opposing side, and he was Lin Che’s son.
They made way for him. Gu Shinian stood there and looked at everyone.
Lin Che gazed at Gu Shinian. “Niannian, what are you doing here?”
Gu Shinian looked up. “Mother. Father isn’t around, so I’m the only man in the family now. Of course, I must be present.”
Lin Che’s heart warmed.
This child…
Was truly frustrating.
But at the same time, he was so sensible.
At such a young age, he knew to protect his mother.
Lin Che stood together with Gu Shinian and looked at the people in front of them.
Someone below gazed at Gu Shinian. At first, he was slightly subdued by this child. Afterward, he said, “Hey, this place isn’t a kindergarten. Lin Che, can you please take your child away first?”
Lin Che said, “This place belongs to the Gu family. My son is the eldest son of the Gu family. Why can’t he be here?”
“Ha…”
“If anyone must leave, it should be someone else. He’s probably the person most qualified to stand here.”
At these words, the relatives present who did not bear the surname Gu had slightly displeased expressions on their faces for a moment. This was especially so for the person who had stood up earlier to speak.
Someone else said, “But he’s not even five years old. What does he know? Take him away. He will only cause trouble here. If he hears something and tells the other children in the kindergarten, that won’t be good.”
He was not polite when he said this either. He waved his hand directly as a signal for the people beside him to take this child away.
But he could not have foreseen what happened next.
Gu Shinian looked at the people who had approached him and suddenly raised his hand.
There was a bang.
It was a gunshot.
Everyone was still unaware of what had happened. Then, they saw that Gu Shinian had a pistol in his hand that was still emitting smoke.
In front of him, the man who just taken a few steps towards him looked down at his own chest in disbelief.
At the precise position of his heart.
Blood was streaming down little by little. In the end, the blood gathered into a puddle and the man collapsed onto the ground all of a sudden.
The people sitting down all stood up immediately.
And looked at the boy who stored his gun away efficiently.
He had killed someone…
They could not believe that Gu Shinian had directly killed someone here.
Lin Che froze as well, only to see Gu Shinian say coldly, “The headquarters represents the power and prestige of the Gu family. How dare a security guard throw his weight around here? This is in contravention of the Gu family’s rules. Which family does this security guard belong to? I’ve helped you teach him a lesson. I hope you won’t need me to do it personally the next time.”
Everyone was even more shocked.
This child…
Unexpectedly, he was extremely familiar with the family rules. Furthermore, he was a cruel and immediate enforcer of the rules.
Indeed, in this place, no one could defy the family rules and oppose the master.
Because the headquarters was the symbol of power and prestige, to begin with.
At first, Lin Che was slow to react. But this was not the time for her to be indecisive. She looked at the state of shock happening in front of her. Everyone’s faces had already lost their color. She pursed her lips. “Does anyone else want to say something?”
“How can he do this?”
“Lin Che, how did you educate your child? How can he kill someone?”
“He’s from my family. You killed him without even giving me an explanation…”
The people below were about to go into a frenzy again.
However, just then, Gu Shinian waved his hand.
The people behind him immediately raised their guns.
They were pointing the machine guns in their hands at everyone in front of them.
The clan relatives were immediately triggered to anger. One of them said bluntly, “Fantastic. You’re going to kill us, right? You’re going to use violence to suppress us, right? Come on. It’s not like we didn’t bring our guns or something.”
The people below instantly raised their guns as well. Just like that, the two sides got into a direct confrontation.
However, just then, Black Hawk scoffed and said directly, “Sure. Let’s have a go at it then. We’ll see who has more guns and who has better marksmanship.”
In no time, Black Hawk’s men were suddenly up in arms at the back.
The smell of smoke spread throughout the entire room. The sudden anxiety in the atmosphere was nearly about to suck everyone dry.
Lin Che gritted her teeth and looked at everyone.
Meanwhile, the Gu family’s clan relatives also looked at the people across them.
It went without saying that each and every one of Gu Shinian’s subordinates and Gu Jingze’s subordinates were the cream of the crop. All of the most capable people in the Gu family were with Gu Jingze.
As for Black Hawk’s men, although they had not received sufficient training, putting aside the fact that they were all very experienced having been trained on the battlefield, all of them were also veterans who had survived storms of shots and shells.
As for their own men…
Over the past few years, apart from having fairly good equipment, all of them lacked training and were definitely not up for the task.
At this moment.
Lin Che slammed the table.
“Are you still aware that this place is the Gu family’s headquarters?”
The row of people looked at Lin Che.
The documents that Lin Che held in her hand were immediately thrown onto the long table in front of her.
The documents that she had suddenly thrown flew everywhere. Some of them were thrown onto the faces of the people in front.
The crowd froze. Then, Lin Che said with a cold expression, “Now, those who still consider themselves part of the Gu family, put down your guns, listen to my command, and assist me in my work properly during this time. Otherwise, I can take it that you’re breaking away from the Gu family of your own accord.”
The people in front were in a slight panic. They looked at Lin Che’s camp before looking at the ground, at the person who had just died.
If they fought, they would not win. Furthermore, these people were definitely not playing around and would really kill people.
If they dared to say they were going to break away, then they would probably be dealt with by a gunshot.
If they did not break away but nevertheless wanted to oppose her, then they would be defying the family rules. They would also be dealt with by a gunshot.
Did they… have any other choice?
