Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 738: Investigating Gu Xitang’s Whereabouts
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Huai racked his brains but failed to understand. Unable to contain his curiosity, he dialed back.
Jiang Ye saw the incoming call and really didn’t want to pick up.
But the other party kept calling relentlessly. After probably hesitating for two seconds, he answered,
"You’d better have something important to say!"
Otherwise, for every second delayed, there would be consequences to bear.
On the other end, Jiang Huai felt a bit intimidated, but his burning curiosity about the gossip surged even more,
"Brother, I just want to know, what outrageous thing has the Gu Family done again?"
During this period, the various actions of the Gu Family had successively shattered Jiang Huai’s perceptions and profoundly revealed to him the darker side of human nature.
The Gu Family was certainly no simple matter!
Of course, there was no need to say more about Jiang Qiu, that woman.
She was downright insane!
Many years ago, she had already entertained the idea of eliminating all commercial and political rivals for the Gu Family, including the Jiang Family.
You must know, Jiang Qiu had been living with the Jiang family since she was only a few years old.
As a foster daughter raised from a young age, she was doted on by Old Sir Jiang to no end, even more so than his own sons.
Unfortunately, she turned out to be an ingrate!
Jiang Huai knew about this, and Jiang Ye definitely knew long before. As for the rest of the Jiang family, they probably also had some understanding.
But unanimously, everyone chose to hide it from Old Sir Jiang.
What would happen if the old man knew about it? How angry would he be?
The Jiang family didn’t dare to bet on that, so they had always kept it secret.
"Brother, I mean, back then, we were all just kids. How come Xiyue was so determined to marry no one but you!"
Seizing the opportunity when Mrs. Gu was preoccupied with her career in earlier years, Jiang Qiu cunningly grew close to Xiyue, thus fostering a bond even stronger than with her biological mother.
In this, there was no lack of tactical assistance from that member of the Gu Family.
Afterward, while still married, Jiang Qiu even gave birth to a child with that member of the Gu Family.
Mrs. Gu was no fool; there was no way she couldn’t know after a child was born.
With a thunderous move, she successfully took the barely crying newborn to her side to raise personally.
This foster care lasted for twenty years.
During these twenty years, Mrs. Gu had planned to set her daughter straight, but unfortunately, she was thwarted time and again.
Even Xiyue herself had said many times that she hoped Jiang Qiu would be her mother.
At this point, Mrs. Gu grew weary and let go.
The result was there for all to see, Xiyue directly landed herself in prison, sentenced to life imprisonment and stripped of her political rights for life. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
It must have been a loss of hope that pushed her to entertain the thought of poison.
How could she not consider that Mrs. Gu wouldn’t be so easily outmaneuvered?
Jiang Ye didn’t deny what Jiang Huai had just said but simply commented,
"The young master of the Gu Family came over."
This startled Jiang Huai,
"What? Why would he come? Did... did Mrs. Gu allow this?"
Heavens, the Gu Family was in complete disarray, wasn’t it?
What on earth was going on?
Jiang Huai, who had never seen such a thing before, was absolutely astonished.
Jiang Ye uttered a "Hmm,"
"Done talking, hanging up."
This time, Jiang Huai didn’t call back; he obediently went to take care of the task his brother had assigned to him.
Jiang Ye tossed aside his phone and stepped harder on the accelerator.
He drove very fast the entire way.
Finally, the car steadily parked below the apartment building.
Not getting out immediately, he sat in the driver’s seat with furrowed brows. Suddenly, as if he had remembered something, he picked up the phone from the passenger seat and made a call,
"Find out where Gu Xitang is now."
"Understood."
Gu Xitang, the legitimate eldest son of the second family of the Gu household, also had considerable clout within the Gu Family.
