The unscrupulous system forced me to frantically test the small black room

Until a gunshot rang out, the four of them tacitly shrank their necks like little chicks, and lay obediently on the ground, motionless.

"To divide or not to divide?" Mr. Gu asked through gritting his teeth.

"Breaking, breaking!" Tao Zhi shouted without any hesitation.

"I want to split too. Both of us in the Tao family will vote to break up!" Tao Mo shouted.

Mr. Gu looked at Lang Buping and Lang Bushin who were still breathing heavily.

"What about you two from the Lang family? Do you want to divide it or not?" Mr. Gu asked.

"point!"

“No difference!”

Lang Buping and Lang Bushin said in unison.

Lang Buping widened his eyes upon hearing this and kicked Lang Bushin again.

"Don't you understand the situation yet? Why do you have to be stubborn now? What's wrong with you coaxing this old man into breaking up first?" Lang Buping scolded in frustration.

"I won't separate. I promised Dong Nan that I would face it together with him. Dong Nan will definitely come to pick me up later. He will protect us." Lang Bushin said with his neck stiff and eyes red.

"I'm not interested in watching this childish farce of yours."

As Mr. Gu spoke, he stood up with the help of a cane, waved his right hand gently, and then walked forward.

The men received instructions and stepped closer to the four people. They couldn't help but panic, but because of the ropes tied to their hands, they could only move by lying on the ground.

Then the four of them screamed one after another, and they were kicked one after another, spinning like four tops.

"Ahhhh! It's none of my business! I'm just passing by!"

"You damn Tao Zhi, you're going to drag me down with you before you die!"

"I let you have a relationship with a man, and now you know it! You're going to bury him with your crappy love." Tao Mo cried and cursed.

I wanted to curse a few more times, but suddenly I found that Tao Zhi, who was usually noisy, was unusually quiet at this moment.

Tao Mo glanced at Tao Zhi and found that Tao Zhi's face was frighteningly pale. He was biting his lower lip in pain, curled up, and the hair on his forehead was wet with sweat, covering his eyebrows and eyes. He just let his men kick and kick him without struggling or moving.

Shit, did it explode some organ?

Tao Mo screamed and rushed towards Tao Zhi, using his head to nudge and kick Tao Zhi's people.

"Stop kicking him. If you keep kicking him, someone will die. Can't you see that he is silent?" Tao Mo shouted.

The subordinate thought Tao Mo was in the way, so he kicked him. Tao Mo screamed even louder, grimacing in pain, but he did not avoid it. Instead, he pressed half of his body on Tao Zhi to block it.

Suddenly, there was a sound of fighting outside the door. After a few screams, there was no sound. Then there were footsteps approaching. Someone started to wrestle with the men who were kicking him, and he quickly weakened them.

Tao Zhi's vision was blurry, his ears were ringing, the pain in his body was numb, and he could only vaguely see a silhouette approaching him.

Someone helped Tao Zhi into his arms and patted his face gently. Seeing that the color on Tao Zhi's lips had faded, he picked Tao Zhi up by the waist and was about to walk out of the house, but more people gathered at the door and pointed their guns at the people inside.

The person standing in the middle was Mr. Gu who had returned.

Mr. Gu looked at the man holding Tao Zhi in front of him, with a smile on his face, but the smile did not fall into his eyes.

"A Sheng, long time no see." Mr. Gu said.

The steward said nothing.

Mr. Gu looked at the housekeeper's attire with disdain.

"What are you wearing? A servant's uniform? What's that hanging on your chest?" Mr. Gu asked with a frown.

"I was preparing meals for the gentleman before I came here. I was in such a hurry that I didn't have time to take off my apron." said the butler.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Gu remained silent for a few breaths with a cold face, his eyes filled with uncontrollable anger.

"I took great pains to educate you and put so much effort into you. I almost deified you with all my heart and eyes!"

"How come you gave up the huge foundation of my Gu family and returned to your country to be an ordinary servant for such a person?"

Mr. Gu stomped his cane on the ground a few times in anger.

"I have failed Mr. Gu's education, but I am very satisfied with my current life." said the butler.

"Back then, I was determined to train you as my successor, and only wanted to create the next Mr. Gu. You had clearly agreed to stay in the United States, but suddenly you insisted on returning home."

"I really regret that I let you come back to visit your family, but I didn't expect that you would disappear without a trace after that."

"A Sheng, you've really made it difficult for me to find you over the past twenty years," said Mr. Gu.

The housekeeper looked down at Tao Zhi, who was in pain in his arms, his heart filled with worry. He raised his head, and his eyes were filled with guilt towards Mr. Gu.

"I abandoned my promise to Mr. Gu and returned to China."

"There are countless outstanding people in this world who are happy to take over Mr. Gu's mantle, and I am just a small housekeeper now, and my duty is to protect my little master."

"Please be merciful, Mr. Gu, and let us go," said the butler.

"From the moment that phone call came directly to my hand, I thought you were ready to come back to the United States with me."

"Gu Sheng, enough of your nonsense. It's time to go home with your adoptive father." Mr. Gu said.

The butler lowered his eyes upon hearing this, his eyelashes hiding his sadness.

"But godfather, my home is where my sister is."

"And my original name was Zhu Sheng." The butler said in a gentle voice.

Tao Zhi recovered from the pain in his body. He didn't know that the damn guy had kicked him in the crotch. His soul immediately floated out of his mouth.

Although the force of the impact was not very strong, it was an unbearable pain for the fragile little Zhi, and it almost caused Tao Zhi to die young.

Tao Zhi regained consciousness and vaguely heard the conversation between the two.

So, this housekeeper who has always been very powerful is related to Mr. Gu?

What did Mr. Gu say just now? Godfather?

And what did the butler say his name was? Zhu Sheng?

Wait, your last name is Zhu?

In a trance, Ah Sheng's eyes flashed with the scene of the man walking towards him and talking to him when they first met.

9-year-old A Sheng was sitting on the bridge. The October evening breeze was biting, but he was still wearing thin summer clothes.

With his legs dangling, he only needed to lean forward slightly to fall into the starry sky under the bridge.

"Hey, little kid, is the wind blowing up there good?" Zhu Ran asked with a smile.

Ah Sheng didn't want to pay attention to this passerby who was talking to him for no reason. He just quietly looked at the rippling river water under the bridge and the twinkling stars reflected in the water.

Zhu Ran came closer, supported his elbows on the edge of the bridge, stood on tiptoe and looked under the bridge. He saw the gurgling water and the rippling waves under the bridge.

"The view under the bridge is indeed nice, so are you planning to jump down?" Zhu Ran asked.
