The sixth patriarch squinted at Qian Yikun as if trying to figure out whether what he said was true . “Are you sure Gu Juexi is not here?”
Qian Yikun continued to lean against the couch and looked at the patriarchs as he switched on the television . The news about Gu International being pressured was going viral .
“Who other than Gu Juexi has the capability to do something like this?” Qian Yikun asked emotionlessly . “Of course, I am not saying that it was definitely Gu Juexi . Unless Gu Juexi is way more capable than we expected, and can actually attack a company remotely . ”
Qian Yikun didn’t give a definite opinion but left the patriarchs to think about it themselves .
Gu International was a corporation worth billions but was shaken up in only one day . No one besides Gu Juexi seemed to be able to do something like that .
Then again, at a crucial moment like this in the Bai Family, they were left with no choice but to be more cautious about Gu Juexi .
“What do you think, brother?” The fourth patriarch looked at the first patriarch who had barely talked .
“Has anyone been doing business with China?” asked the first patriarch .
All patriarchs denied it immediately, except for the fourth patriarch .
“Fourth patriarch?” The first patriarch called out quietly .
“Only very minimal businesses at the border . Gu Juexi shouldn’t have noticed . ”
“Absurd!” The first patriarch smacked the table loudly, and the crowd fell silent . “How long has it been since the incident with Cheng Jie? How many times do I have to tell you to not do business with China?”
“It was only that once . ” Unwilling to relent, the fourth patriarch argued .
“You…” Feeling provoked, the first patriarch grabbed the pen holder on the table and threw it at the fourth patriarch .
“First Patriarch…” Qian Yikun got up to calm the first patriarch . “Gu Juexi was dispirited a few years back because of what happened to Ye Yuwei . We can’t be sure if he really is after the Bai family . ”
The others heard Qian Yikun’s opinion and nodded in agreement . “He’s right, Brother . It might be a misunderstanding today but let’s not take any risks and kill Yan Feng tomorrow,” the second patriarch suggested .
There would rather kill the wrong person than take any risks .
The first patriarch nodded and approved the second patriarch’s suggestion .
“I want to talk to Yikun . The others may leave,” said the first patriarch as he waved at the others, dismissing them .
The first patriarch waited for everyone to leave before he glared at Qian Yikun viciously .
Qian Yikun lowered his gaze without a word .
“Has it been ten years since you came to the Bai family, Yikun?” The first patriarch asked emotionlessly .
“Eleven years,” Qian Yikun replied obediently .
“You are one with great potential . ” The old patriarch nodded as he walked towards him .
“You have taught me well,” Qian Yikun said respectfully, and lowered his head to show his sincerity .
“I know that Gu Juexi is here . I don’t know what he is up to, but I am sure that he is here,” said the first patriarch, his eyes gleaming . “I wasn’t sure at first, but Bai Ying and Ye Yuwei’s reactions told me that my instinct was right . ”
“Should I get Yan Feng for interrogation then?” Qian Yikun frowned and stood up to leave .
“Not so fast . ” The first patriarch put his hand up to stop Qian Yikun from leaving, then whipped out a gun and passed it to him .
