Under the constant questioning of the scarred man, one of his men finally came forward and confessed.

"Yes... it's me."

The scarred man immediately kicked him and said sternly, "You want to die! How dare you take any order? If anything happens to Mr. Gu and his wife, ten lives of yours won't be enough to pay for it."

The man fell to the ground in pain and pleaded timidly: "I... I don't know..."

The scarred man closed his eyes helplessly, turned around and humbly apologized to Xiang Yuan: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiang, I didn't discipline him well, please punish me."

Xiang Yuan waved his hand and said calmly: "No need to punish them. Remember to teach your subordinates the rules in the future to avoid getting into trouble."

"Mr. Xiang is right. I will definitely teach them the rules later."

Xiang Yuan brought the topic back on track, "Tell me, how does Gu Wenhua plan to let you deal with Mr. Gu and his wife?"

The man looked at the scarred man timidly, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

The scarred man gave him a cold look and whispered, "Just tell me what Mr. Xiang asks you. Tell the truth."

The man nodded and told the truth, not daring to hide anything.

"Gu Wenhua asked me to tamper with Mr. Gu and his wife's car to create a false accident and kill them. He also said that after the incident, in addition to the reward money, he would give me another million."

Xiang Yuan listened without saying anything. He just sat in the chair in silence, with his hands clasped and his fingertips moving lightly.

The scarred man stood there, breaking out in a cold sweat.

After a moment of silence, Xiang Yuan opened his mouth and gave an order: "Very good, I want you to return to him the methods that Gu Wenhua wants to use on Mr. Gu and his wife one by one."

Finally, he added: "You will receive the reward as usual."

The scarred man was stunned and said incredulously: "Really...really?"

"Of course." Xiang Yuan said with both kindness and authority, "Boss Gu has always been kind to his subordinates, but the premise is that they cannot have second thoughts."

The scarred man did not dare to hesitate for a moment and said firmly, "Of course, we will definitely follow Mr. Gu until death."

Xiang Yuan nodded with satisfaction, "Tomorrow, Mr. Gu will hear the news of Gu Wenhua's accidental death, you know."

"Understand." The scarred man responded quickly.

Only after Xiang Yuan left did the scarred man breathe a sigh of relief.

He gritted his teeth, turned around and pointed at the subordinate, "Fortunately, Mr. Gu didn't blame me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to protect you."

The subordinate lowered his head and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, boss, I will be more careful next time."

“Okay, let’s do this better and stop annoying Mr. Gu.”

"I see."

night.

Gu Wenhua was in a depressed mood. He drank a little wine outside and then drove on a road with few vehicles.

As the car speed quietly increased, the evening breeze whistled in my ears, as if it could take away all the worries.

Suddenly, a large truck came head-on in front of him. The glaring headlights blinded his eyes and made everything in front of him blurry.

Gu Wenhua sobered up instantly and stepped on the brakes to slow down the car, but found that the brakes were not working.

His pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes revealed panic and helpless despair.

Between life and death, Gu Wenhua reacted instinctively, gripping the steering wheel tightly with both hands and twisting it with all his strength.

The car body drew a thrilling arc on the road.

Although the car narrowly avoided the oncoming truck, it lost control of the car and rushed towards the hillside beside the road like a wild horse.

In the darkness, there was a deafening roar.

Due to the violent collision, the car body rolled over due to inertia and finally stopped in a mess.

At the scene, vehicle debris was scattered all over the ground and blood was everywhere.

……

Old Madam Gu became depressed and sick because of Gu Haoyu's matter, and leaned listlessly on the bed.

Sister Li walked into her room carrying the freshly cooked porridge and gently advised: "Madam, no matter what, you still have to eat, otherwise your body won't be able to bear it."

Madam Gu stared at the moon outside the window with a dull look, and said, "Sister Li, tell me, did I make the wrong choice from the beginning?"

One step wrong, step by step wrong.

To the point that now, I don’t have the face to save the relationship anymore.

"Old lady..."

Mrs. Li was about to speak to comfort her when the housekeeper hurried into the room.

"Old lady, it's not good!"

The butler's face was filled with anxiety and uneasiness, and his rapid breathing seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet room.

Madam Gu's scattered eyes suddenly gathered, she slowly sat up straight, and said in a weak and old tone: "What's wrong now?"

"Master...Master, he..."

The butler had a serious expression on his face, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Madam Gu urged impatiently, "Just say what you want to say. Why are you hesitating?"

The butler lowered his head, not daring to look the old lady in the eye.

His lips moved, and his voice was filled with sadness. "Just now, there was news from the hospital that... the master had a car accident, and the hospital's rescue efforts were ineffective, and he passed away..."

By the end of his speech, the butler's voice had gradually become lower.

"what?!"

Upon hearing this unacceptable news, Madam Gu could not bear the blow. She was so angry that her eyes turned black and she fainted.

Mrs. Li, who was standing by, called out anxiously, "Madam! Madam!"

Old Madam Gu slept all night.

When she woke up the next morning, she immediately asked the housekeeper to prepare a car to go to the hospital.

However, before she could go out, a group of inappropriate people broke in, breaking the tranquility of the mansion.

They were dressed in neat bank uniforms, with serious faces and eyes that carried unquestionable authority.

Madam Gu looked at them, frowned, and asked sternly, "What are you doing? Who allowed you to come in? You are trespassing. I can sue you anytime."

The leading bank representative slowly stepped forward, holding a document with clear words on it, in a businesslike manner.

"Mrs. Gu, this is the mortgage contract you and Mr. Gu Wenhua signed with our bank. You did not repay the debt within the prescribed period. Based on the terms of the contract, our bank is now exercising its rights in accordance with the law to dispose of the mortgaged property, which is this mansion."

After these words were spoken, Madam Gu's expression became even more solemn.

Then, the leading bank representative said, "Madam Gu, please make sure to sort everything out as soon as possible and properly place everyone in the family so that we can smoothly take over the mansion and carry out the necessary clearance."

Madam Gu was so angry that her chest rose and fell. She said in a trembling voice, "You...you..."

Seeing this, Sister Li hurried forward, stroked the old lady's back, and comforted her, "Old lady, please take care of yourself."

A staff member nearby interrupted at the right time, with a tone that brooked no rebuttal: "Madam Gu, time is running out. This afternoon, our bank will officially hold a public auction of this mansion to pay off your debts."
