Chapter 367: Chapter 367: Why Didn't You Go for It?

367. Chapter 367: Why didn't you go for it?

Just then, a burst of footsteps sounded behind him.

Gu Zhangkong, expression unchanged, again placed the Human Skin Mask on.

He turned around.

He saw Yang Chun rush over with two people.

Seeing the corpse on the ground, the three of them looked both shocked and terrified.

"How's the situation?"

Gu Zhangkong asked.

"Two people were killed, the Spiritual Thought Masters' Thought-force Weapons were all destroyed, and besides that, there was some wall damage," Yang Chun hurriedly replied.

Gu Zhangkong nodded, "For the damaged Psychic Weapons, I will reimburse at original price; for the two killed, you and I will go later to give them compensation."

"Yes, supervisor."

Yang Chun nodded.

The two who followed behind him also let out a slight sigh of relief.

Gu Zhangkong turned and looked at Jiang Cheng,

"Jiang Lao Di, from now on I'll have to trouble you to change a Lian Dan Shi, I'm sorry about this, but I'll try to give you an explanation."

"It's fine, Gu Dage."

Jiang Cheng smiled.

He also understood Gu Zhangkong's situation.

Even if they caught someone, what does it matter? The other side can simply deny it, after all death leaves no proof.

To put it mildly, even if there is evidence, what can Gu Zhangkong do to that guy?

The few quickly left, leaving only Gu Zhangkong and the corpse on the ground.

Gu Zhangkong pulled out his phone and dialed Gu Zhangjun.

The latter was eating at that moment; when the phone rang, he was first pleased, thinking Huang Xing had succeeded, but upon looking, he was greatly disappointed.

Not only disappointment, but also some anger.

He remembered that two days ago, the latter had ruthlessly hung up on his call, making him feel humiliated! Now the other side proactively called him…

Gu Zhangjun sneered, hung up directly, and thought to himself, "Let you taste the feeling of being turned away."

"?"

Gu Zhangkong was startled.

He furrowed his brows, but dialed the phone again.

Gu Zhangjun hung up again.

A smug grin spread across his face.

Gu Zhangkong took a deep breath, suppressing the fury in his heart.

Having lived in the Gu Family for so long, he knew clearly that anger only brings impulsiveness; to solve problems, one must eliminate emotional interference.

He again removed the mask from the corpse's face, took a photo of Huang Xing's face, and sent it over.

He added a line afterward.

"Fifth Junior Brother, you surely don't want the good deed you did to be known by father and the clan, do you?"

"Can't get through by phone, switched to sending a message?"

Hearing the notification sound for the received message, Gu Zhangjun felt even more smug.

However, when he opened the message and saw the pale human face on the ground, he was completely stunned.

"How could this happen?"

His head buzzed nonstop.

Did Huang Shu actually slip up? End up in Gu Zhangkong's hands?

No!

Looking at this photo, it seems, it seems, dead?

Panic flashed in Gu Zhangjun's eyes, and upon seeing the line below, his body trembled uncontrollably.

"How could this be? How could this be?"

Huang Shu is a Grandmaster! Even if he slipped, he shouldn't have been killed by Gu Zhangkong.

At that moment, the phone rang again.

Gu Zhangjun hesitated briefly, then answered.

"Now you're willing to take my call?" Gu Zhangkong's cold voice sounded.

"Huang, why is Huang Shu with you? What happened to him?" Gu Zhangjun swallowed, forcing calm as he asked.

"How is he here with me? Isn't it clear in your mind?"

Gu Zhangkong retorted.

"How would I know?"

Gu Zhangjun forced his mouth, saying, "I haven't seen him since last night, and I'm still looking for him today."

"Is that so?"

Gu Zhangkong sneered, "Just now, he barged into the Lian Dan Shi, killed several people here, then rushed straight at Jiang Cheng. If I hadn't arrived in time, Jiang Cheng might have died at his hands. Fifth Junior Brother, can you claim you knew nothing about this?"

"I certainly didn't know."

Gu Zhangjun said without hesitation.

He wasn't a fool; he deeply understood the big family's survival rule, the most important of which is to pass the blame.

What an uninformed one.

Gu Zhangkong wasn't surprised either.

"Since that's the case, I'll just tell my father and the rest of the family about this. After all, this doesn't concern you, does it?"

Hearing that, Gu Zhangjun's expression changed.

Just because he's not afraid of this getting out doesn't mean he wants it to spread.

After all, once it spreads, a scolding from his father is inevitable, and he might even be grounded for a while.

The impact on his reputation would be even greater.

His older brother would be just dying to see him become a laughingstock.

"Y‑you, what do you want?"

He asked.

At that moment, he also realized.

Gu Zhangkong could have reported this to the family immediately, but he didn't; instead, he called his phone, obviously to have a word with him.

If we can talk, that's much better.

Gu Zhangkong stopped beating around the bush and got straight to the point: "It's simple. If you agree to the following conditions, I'll treat this as if it never happened."

"A few conditions? No way!"

Gu Zhangjun haggled, "Too many. I'll at most grant you one request."

"Since there's nothing to negotiate, I'll tell my father about this," Gu Zhangkong thought with a cold smile.

This kid still thinks he can spar with him; he's just too green.

Sure enough.

Upon hearing that, Gu Zhangjun's tone softened.

"A few requests aren't impossible, but you must first state clearly what they are; if they're excessive I won't agree. I'm not afraid you tell my father, because this matter doesn't really involve me either."

"Fine."

Gu Zhangkong paused briefly, then said, "The first request is that from now on you may not send anyone to trouble us, and you must not send anyone to assassinate Jiang Cheng."

"No problem."

Gu Zhangjun immediately agreed and even called out in grievance, "Third brother, this truly has nothing to do with me. I didn't even know Huang Xing went to your place today and attacked your people."

"Is that so?"

Gu Zhangkong didn't linger on the topic and promptly raised a second request.

"Huang Xing is your subordinate; the losses he caused this time should be your responsibility. Two people died on my side; their families need compensation, and several Psychic Weapons were damaged by him. You must make restitution."

"Damn it, he caused the trouble himself, and now I have to clean up after him."

Gu Zhangjun spoke his mind.

"How much?"

"One hundred million."

Gu Zhangkong quoted a figure.

"What? That much!"

Gu Zhangjun opened his mouth wide.

"Third brother, you're not kidding, are you? Only two people died, plus a pile of junk, and you demand a hundred million? Why don't you go rob it yourself?" (End of chapter)
