Chapter 950 — Another One Has Come: If Wei Zhao Has No Backing, Yu Shuixing Will Cut Him Down with His Own Hands! And If He Truly Has Someone Behind Him, Then Yu Shuixing Will Still Seek Justice for His Younger Brother and His Nephew — He Will Take the Case All the Way to the Great Clan Arbitration Council and Accuse Wei Zhao of Pushing Men Too Far!

Yet never once did Yu Shuixing stop to ask himself whether sending men to make trouble for the Gu family had, in itself, been pushing people too far. So many people can see only the faults of others and never their own!

Hatred had already clouded Yu Shuixing's reason. He did not believe his family had done anything wrong—the fault was all Wei Zhao's! Still, whatever the case, Yu Shuixing had chosen forbearance for the moment. Hateful as he was, he would not act on impulse again...

"Xiaoyi, you..." Watching the Yu family flee in panic, Gu Pengzhan was both startled and overjoyed! He had truly never imagined that at the Gu family's most critical hour, when the family stood on the brink of ruin, Wei Zhao would turn the whole situation around in an instant!

The man who had been so arrogant, who had meant to slaughter his entire family, had been killed by Wei Zhao... or rather, by General Weiwu! At the thought, Gu Pengzhan's expression turned a little strange. Since when had General Weiwu become so formidable?

One kick, and a master of the inner arts at the early Profound Rank was dead? Even if Yu Bide had been gravely wounded by Wei Zhao, it still seemed unlikely that a dog could kick a man to death so easily. Could it be that General Weiwu had been trained—or remade—by Wei Zhao?

"Heh... sorry, I came out late." Wei Zhao smiled. "But at least I was in time. Otherwise, if Yaoyao had been carried off, I might well have had to storm all the way to Yanjing!"

"Who asked you to? Couldn't I have run back on my own?" Gu Mengyao's face flushed, and something very, very sweet welled up in her heart, though her expression was one of utter indifference. "Didn't you say your strength was gone? How did you suddenly become so powerful?"

"That... it's a long story..." Wei Zhao smiled wryly. "A stroke of luck. General Weiwu helped me recover my strength."

"General Weiwu? Helped you recover your strength?" Gu Pengzhan looked at Wei Zhao in some astonishment. "So then, you don't have to go back to your hometown?"

"This..." Only then did Wei Zhao remember the matter of his hometown. He had been so immersed in the joy of regaining his strength that he had forgotten he had been preparing to go home. But since he had already offered Gu Pengzhan his resignation, it would be awkward for Wei Zhao to stay on. "Once I've dealt with these troubles, I'll go back."

Before Gu Pengzhan could speak, the young lady's expression shifted slightly. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, yet not knowing how to say it—and unconsciously, she kicked Xiaoshu.

"Oh, Brother Arrow Brand, you don't keep your word!" Shen Yushu and Gu Mengyao were of one mind; at Gu Mengyao's hint, she spoke up at once.

"Oh?" Wei Zhao could not help but be taken aback. How had he failed to keep his word?

"Earlier, we made a pinky promise. You said that if you recovered your strength and became even stronger than before, you would keep coming back to be our bodyguard, and stay in the villa forever!" Shen Yushu declared with perfect confidence.

"Huh?" Hearing Shen Yushu's words, Wei Zhao could only smile bitterly. Only now did he realize he had fallen into the trap Shen Yushu had laid for him. What Shen Yushu had said before had not been spoken on a whim—the little girl must have been scheming for this all along! Otherwise, how could she have said it so smoothly?

At the time, Wei Zhao had not thought much of it, and had merely brushed off Shen Yushu's words with a few careless replies. But who would have thought that a single sentence would snare him? Was he to stay in the villa for the rest of his life?

"Heh heh, I was going to speak up and urge you to stay as well, but since Xiaoshu and Xiaoyi have already made their agreement, it seems my words would be superfluous, so I'll say nothing more!" Gu Pengzhan laughed too.

"All right then!" Wei Zhao nodded. There was still some time left before the five-year term was up, so he was in no hurry to go home. It was only that he wondered whether Tang Yun would be unhappy once she learned of it.

"Oh! Prophet Shu is amazing, la la la!" Shen Yushu cried out in excitement.

Gu Mengyao was happy as well, but she did not show it as plainly as Shen Yushu. She only smiled slightly and said, "Wei Zhao, we'll be counting on you from now on."

Wei Zhao was just about to tease the young lady when the sound of footsteps came again from the villa's courtyard.

"Heh... another one come to die?" A cold sneer flickered at the corner of Wei Zhao's mouth. "Fine. Saves me the trouble of hunting them down."

The Xiao family had also received word from An Jianwen that day: that Gu Pengzhan was preparing to flee with Gu Mengyao, and that the company's shares and holdings had already been secretly transferred away. The Xiao family was furious.

It was because An Jianwen feared the Yu family alone would not exert enough pressure on Gu Pengzhan that he had also notified the Xiao family, sending them to lean on Gu Pengzhan as well. Best of all was to drive Gu Pengzhan into a corner with nowhere to turn; then, when An Jianwen appeared, he would be like a savior, and Gu Pengzhan would have no choice but to accept his terms.

And so Xiao Ji and Xiao Ben, with Uncle Pi in tow, took the call and went first to Gu Pengzhan's company. Finding Gu Pengzhan absent, they ran about for a while before finally returning to Gu Mengyao's villa—only to see Gu Pengzhan's car sitting there.

On the way, Xiao Ji telephoned Gou Huli and told her to come to Gu Mengyao's home as well. After all, this whole affair had been stirred up by Gou Huli; letting her come and see the wretched state of Gu Pengzhan's family would give Gou Huli a chance to vent her anger.

In truth, Xiao Ji was rather fond of this second wife of his. Gou Huli was skilled in bed and could thrill Xiao Ji to death and back every night, so when he came to Gu Pengzhan's place to work off his spleen, he did not forget to bring Gou Huli along.

Gou Huli was out having beauty treatments. When she heard that her husband had taken Uncle Pi and her brother-in-law to make trouble for Gu Pengzhan, she could not be bothered to finish; she washed her face and drove her Ferrari home in a tearing hurry...

"Huh? What's happened to Gu Pengzhan's house? Why does the gate look like this?" Arriving at the entrance to Gu Mengyao's villa, Xiao Ji studied the Gu family villa with some puzzlement. Why did the gate look as though someone had kicked it apart?

"Could someone have gotten here before us to make trouble?" Xiao Ben frowned. The Xiao family naturally knew that even the Yu family had come, and they had also found out the Yu family's terms: the Yu family wanted every share of the Gu Group—which of course included Pengzhan Commercial Building and Pengzhan Business Hotel, did it not?

So the Xiao family had grown anxious. If the Yu family beat them to it, what would be left for them? At a time like this, whoever struck first took the spoils, and whoever struck late was out of luck. Given the Xiao family's present circumstances, if the Yu family truly carried off every share of the Gu Group, how could the Xiao family ever lay hands on shares of Pengzhan Commercial Building and Pengzhan Business Hotel?
