Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 459 - 458: The Old General Takes the Field
Surprisingly, just like Fang Shaohan’s sister-in-law, Gu Xiaoqing’s talent with firearms is almost unparalleled.
Ryan witnessed it and couldn’t help but feel inferior.
So far, Ryan has not seen a better shooter than Gu Xiaoqing, nor anyone more patient, meticulous, or deadly in their shooting mindset.
Unfortunately, Gu Xiaoqing’s physical condition is too poor...
If trained from a young age, she could definitely surpass Fang Shaohan’s sister-in-law.
"Boss, what should we do with these people?"
Ryan saw the battle nearing its end, then asked Gu Xiaoqing.
"Interrogate them, and if they don’t talk, deal with them. Anyway, if we hand them over to the police here, they might actually get pretty decent treatment."
"Really? They attacked us, and they can still get good treatment?"
"Not only that, they’ll soon be sent back to Hong Kong. Because soon, there will be a national celebration between the mainland and Hong Kong, and the country won’t let this issue escalate and affect that big event. As for our side, they’ll definitely apologize and then maneuver around it, pushing all the responsibility away, telling us to deal with Hong Kong directly."
Gu Xiaoqing understands the domestic tactics very well at this time.
They definitely won’t offend the United States, but also can’t have conflicts with Hong Kong. They want to keep both sides pleased, aiming for a win-win end where major issues are minimized.
"So, if they refuse to speak truthfully, deal with them all. Confiscate their equipment and weapons, have someone appraise them, find out who supplied them, and the route that allowed them to get here. Also, for the injured, follow the company’s regulations, double their compensation since we’re overseas, and let them go home to recover."
"No problem, boss, leave that to me. I love doing this kind of thing!"
Ryan took the order and immediately instructed his people to get to work.
That night, the chaos was so terrifying that the people of Gu Family Village didn’t dare to go outside. If a few days ago they thought Gu Xiaoqing was just flaunting some dirty money, now they understood that it wasn’t just money Gu Xiaoqing had—her people were ruthless.
The Third Old Master Gu also stayed in his room, terrified and pale, fearing Gu Xiaoqing would trouble him, ultimately scaring him to death.
Gu Changhai also felt uneasy, thinking if he didn’t reconcile with Gu Xiaoqing, he might never sleep well again in his life.
For a moment, the whole Gu Family Village had no festive atmosphere like during the New Year.
Everyone was discussing how to appease this young auntie or whether to just move out.
"Dad, do you think we should ask Uncle Ruhai to persuade her?"
Gu Changhai’s son suddenly had an idea and suggested it.
Immediately, the villagers agreed it was a good idea to have Gu Ruhai discipline his daughter.
Upon hearing this, Gu Changhai was so furious that he slapped his son across the face.
"You damn fool, you want me to end up like the Third Old Master? Have you forgotten what happened back then? Wasn’t it because he reasoned with Gu Ruhai and pressured him to suppress his daughter?"
Getting slapped by his father, Gu Changhai’s son grumbled, discontented: "Even if Gu Xiaoqing is fantastic, surely she wouldn’t ignore her father’s words? Isn’t she afraid of being called unfilial?"
Pah!
Another slap followed.
"You’re completely stupid. Let me ask you, if I kicked you out of Gu Family Village with nothing, would you go willingly?"
"That wouldn’t do, you’re my dad!"
"I would do exactly that."
"I don’t care, I’m not leaving; if anyone should go, it’s you."
Gu Changhai’s son immediately clung to the house pillar, refusing to leave.
Gu Changhai sighed bitterly: "You’re like this yourself, and you expect Gu Xiaoqing to obey her father, and a father who’s repeatedly hurt her? Do you think it’s possible? Do you know what would happen then?"
"What would happen?"
"She can’t possibly take it out on her own father, but she’ll definitely bring her people and come after the troublemakers. To all fellow villagers here, let me make it clear today. Gu Xiaoqing’s matters should not be disclosed to Gu Ruhai, and if any of you do, you’ll bear the responsibility alone. Only if you’re not afraid of her pointing a gun at your family’s heads, should you try to find Gu Ruhai. Anyway, I, Gu Changhai, won’t meddle, and if anyone comes to us for help, I will shut the door and not care."
Gu Changhai’s analysis was reasonable, and the villagers who initially thought of dealing with Gu Xiaoqing were immediately deflated. The thought of going to her place and ending up destroying their homes made it not worth it!
"Changhai, you’re right. What do you suggest we do then?"
The villagers all supported him, since Gu Xiaoqing was too overwhelming for them to handle. They could only let the current most resourceful and respected Gu Changhai take charge.
"Alright, let’s drop the land issue. If she wants to build a factory or anything, let her. After all, didn’t you all get money? As for the blame, let’s pin it on Gu Xiaocheng. If you’re angry, take it out on him. If anyone from above comes to ask who beat up Gu Xiaocheng, we’ll say it was chaotic, and we don’t know who did it."
The people of Gu Family Village agreed readily, as they were already dissatisfied with Gu Xiaocheng and opted for an easy target.
"Secondly, don’t spread idle gossip or rumors. If anything comes out, don’t come to me. If someone ends up at your door, don’t come seeking me. I’m not aware of anything; your own words, your own responsibility.
Also, trying to invite Gu Xiaoqing over for a reconciliation meal might be impossible. Let’s do this, in a few days, I’ll head to the county, invite the county leaders to dine with Gu Xiaoqing, and seize the chance to apologize to her.
Meanwhile, you guys hurry and produce some honorary banners. She’s wealthy and won’t care about money, so let’s give her reputation instead. Fool, stop hugging the pillar, I was just making a point, not really kicking you out. Organize the village to write a joint thank-you letter to Gu Xiaoqing."
Gu Changhai’s son finally understood that his father wanted him to put himself in others’ shoes.
Now, he finally realized what a lousy idea he had just proposed. Thinking about that night’s gunfire made him shiver, realizing he almost endangered his entire family. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Gu Xiaoqing’s situation officially wrapped up, and she was indeed preparing to set up a factory there because of the cheap labor domestically, planning to move her factory from the United States here.
Of course, she intended to conduct business with integrity, ensuring all standards are met, without allowing her hometown’s environment to suffer.
Once the turbulence subsided, Gu Xiaoqing also prepared to leave.
The remainder of the work would be left to her team to handle.
