Chapter 1013: The Ruthless CEO's Grudging Butler 26

Gu Han slowly raised his handgun, aiming at Gu Yeting.

Gu Yeting's face changed dramatically, and he threatened, "I'm your paternal uncle! If GuJunyuan finds out you killed me, you won't get away with it!"

Gu Han's eyes were calm as he moved the gun to aim at the two restless lackeys standing behind Jin Chen, firing two shots.

Jin Chen felt greatly relieved.

It's thanks to his wife! Something like a melodramatic broken leg in a car accident is absolutely impossible!

He walked toward Gu Han, his tone just right—startled—"Sir, it's good you came."

Gu Han: "If I hadn't come, you wouldn't have gotten into trouble."

He eliminated all potential dangers, then pinched Jin Chen's face irritably, asking, "How could I not know you can use a gun?"

As far as he knew, the butler academy wouldn't teach this.

Jin Chen, his face being pinched, spoke indistinctly, "But I also didn't know you would use one."

A tycoon sitting on tens of billions of assets—how could he not know how to use a gun!

Gu Han snorted, pulled Jin Chen into a tight embrace, his arms exerting immense force; sensing his alarm, Jin Chen patted his back.

"Why don't you two hold off on the hug a bit longer? What should we do with this person?"

Ao Li walked in with his two brothers, all three holding weapons, their tone teasing.

Jin Chen released the person in his arms, bumped fists with Ao Li, and said, "Thanks."

"Oh, look at you being polite."

Ao Li again nodded at Gu Han in greeting, pointed a finger at the bound Gu Yeting, and told Gu Han, "I just saw another group coming over; they're likely here to rescue him."

"The bad news is, they're better equipped, time is tight, and I can't temporarily bring in reinforcements."

"So either we let him go, or we just kill him outright."

At this point, for Gu Yeting to save his own life, he must give Gu Han a reason he cannot refuse to release him.

Just being his uncle probably wouldn't be enough.

Gu Yeting coldly shouted, "Gu Han! Do you even know your own identity? You're Bai Yunyue's child!"

Jin Chen turned his head in surprise, "This old coot has gone crazy?"

"What's the point of bringing this up now?"

Jin Chen hastily grabbed Gu Han's hand, "Sir..."

"What did you say?"

Gu Han stared blankly, unbothered by Jin Chen gripping his hand, stepped forward and fixed his gaze on the bound Gu Yeting, asking, "I'm Bai Yunyue's child?"

"You mean I'm not a member of the Gu Family?"

Jin Chen: "?"

"Ah, Gu Yeting probably didn't mean that."

Gu Yeting sneered, "You are a Gu Family member; Bai Yunyue… Bai Yunyue could get pregnant, so… you are his biological child! And I! I am his only husband—if you kill me today, Bai Yunyue will hate you to the core!"

Ao Li, who had investigated the Gu Family but not fully clarified things, listened, bewildered, leaned close to Jin Chen and asked, "What does this mean—is Gu Yeting Gu Han's father?"

Jin Chen's heart jolted; he kicked out and snapped, "Shut up!"

Gu Han's fingers turned cold; hearing that speculation made him feel extremely uncomfortable, his gaze fixed and his voice heavy.

"I am… the son of GuJunyuan and Bai Yunyue, or… yours."

Gu Yeting retorted, "I wouldn't father a fool like you!"

Jin Chen shot back without hesitation, "Who are you insulting!"

Gu Han stopped Jin Chen, picked up a discarded piece of broken rebar from the ground, and walked slowly toward Gu Yeting.

Then, without changing expression, he jabbed the sharp end into Gu Yeting's thigh and violently pulled it out.

Amid Gu Yeting's anguished cries, Gu Han spoke with a complex expression, "This is repayment for your attempt to kill Jin Chen."

"I will spare your life until I uncover everything about the Gu Family."

"Uncle."

Using that title, Gu Han enunciated each word, shouting it icy and bone-chilling.

【Villain Blackening Value +20, total 55!】

0731 let out a sound, 【Once back to before liberation.】

Ao Li's second brother shouted from outside the door, "We can withdraw! The people coming to rescue Gu Yeting have arrived!"

"They're here!"

Ao Li's little brother responded, urging them on.

"Let's go, we're out of time."

Ao Li made a noise, bumped Jin Chen's shoulder, and said, "Your wife is pretty formidable."

Gu Han had already turned and taken Jin Chen's hand; hearing that remark, he gave Jin Chen a strange look.

"Fine! My little wife always needs to save face outside—don't expose her!"

The group no longer paid attention to the bound, blood-soaked Gu Yeting, quickly got into the car and left.

Ao Li and his two companions also bade farewell to Jin Chen; after the brief assistance, they went off to enjoy themselves again.

This time, Gu Han was driving.

Once in the car, he fell silent, floored the accelerator, dodged the hit squad Gu Yeting had summoned, only relaxing upon reaching the bustling district; the car stopped, his hand still trembling.

It wasn't fear, nor nervousness.

Gu Han being able to accept his feelings for Bai Yunyue stems from a reliance on elders and a lack of maternal love.

But he cannot accept that Bai Yunyue is truly his…

In this complex emotion, there is also mixed in the lingering fear from Jin Chen's near mishap.

Jin Chen undid his seatbelt, pulled Gu Han's hand, "Sir."

Gu Han snapped back, turned his eyes to Jin Chen, his breath sinking, "Are you hurt?"

"No," Jin Chen said, then cupped Gu Han's cheeks with both hands and placed a comforting kiss, "I thought you would ask about the Aoli and my identity."

Jin Chen changed the subject to prevent Gu Han from dwelling further on the Gu family's affairs.

Gu Han hummed softly, "Then will you tell me?"

He thought that regarding the childhood scar, Jin Chen was unwilling to uncover it.

"That night when you were drunk, Sir, you once asked about my family."

Jin Chen explained carefully to him, "My parents were members of the Aoli Family Organization; they sacrificed themselves for the mission."

Organization members…

Gu Han suddenly understood why Jin Chen used a gun, lowered his eyes, turned, crossed the partition between the driver and passenger seats, squeezed into the passenger seat in Jin Chen's embrace, and only then, holding each other, gradually calmed down.

Although this pose was nothing like a domineering CEO's, Gu Han felt that both he and Jin Chen now needed a hug.

Jin Chen held Gu Han tighter in his arms, gently patting his back, his voice low and alluring, "I'm no longer heartbroken, Sir."

"I am heartbroken."

Gu Han buried his face in his neck and muttered.

"You say… would Bai Yunyue think I'm an idiot?"

Just thinking about what he used to do made Gu Han feel suffocated.

"I don't understand—Gu Yeting and Bai Yunyue know about this, my father surely knows too, why won't they tell me?"

Jin Chen found this puzzling as well.

After reading the original plot, he still didn't understand why, and could only mutter a curse: aside from his wife, the Gu family members are all stupid.

Ah, there's also the old master Gu kept in the dark.

Then he guessed together with Gu Han.

"Perhaps they're afraid that if you knew you'd be too heartbroken, or perhaps… they're afraid your grandfather would find out?"

Gu Han lifted his head to look at him, "My grandfather doesn't know?"

Jin Chen blinked, "I was just guessing."

Having said that, he lightly brushed the pad of his finger over Gu Han's slightly reddened eye corners, his movement gentle, "Sir, you can investigate on your own; you don't necessarily have to hear the facts from the Gu family."

Gu Han felt itchy from his touch, unconsciously rubbed against it, then buried himself again, his breathing of sandalwood easing his emotions.

"You're right; I need to investigate quickly to find out what happened back then."

Gu Han said, then tightened his arms around Jin Chen's waist, "Rest assured, Gu Yeting wants to kill you; today he's merely letting you go temporarily."

"I will help you take revenge."

In the midst of speaking, it seemed as if he had forgotten that Gu Yeting's true target was himself.

Jin Chen chuckled lightly, "Just as you said in the warehouse earlier, Sir, but if you don't come, I won't be killed by Gu Yeting either."

"That was just me speaking in anger."

Gu Han, not holding back, bit Jin Chen's shoulder, "Gu Yeting is a lunatic; if I don't go, what if something really happens to you…"

He pressed his lips together, not continuing.

"However, you being formidable is also a good thing."

Jin Chen smiled, lowered his head to kiss him, "Let's go home; it's already dark."

"You drive… no, I'll have the driver come over."

Gu Han refused to let go, only called for the driver to come pick them up, then continued to stay quietly in his embrace.
