Chapter 1027

~6 min read 1,127 words

In the surveillance video, the butler who first appeared over twenty years ago.

Gu Old Master was somewhat surprised, "What exactly did you bring? Old surveillance footage?!"

Jin Chen looked at the Gu family members with varied expressions, his tone cold: "I found the Gu family's surveillance from a year before Xiao Han was born, and indeed discovered the footage of the day the drug was administered."

Her suspicion confirmed, Bai Yunyue could not stay calm, her emotions somewhat agitated: "Are you trying to make me relive the pain from back then?"

Jin Chen looked at him doubtfully: "Don't you want to know who the culprit who drugged them was back then, or... you already knew."

Thus Bai Yunyue received glances from both Gu Yeting and Gu Junyuan simultaneously—one intensely oppressive, the other with a mild gaze but an imposing presence.

Bai Yunyue had nothing to say, and could only stare at the video like them.

He comforted himself, thinking perhaps back then they hadn't filmed the entire process.

But he was clearly overthinking.

Although the footage wasn't very clear, anyone could see with the naked eye that the once youthful and stunning Bai Yunyue avoided the kitchen staff, slipped in, and placed two packets of colorless powder into the cups.

She drank one cup herself, and kept the other in her hand, deliberately waiting for Gu Junyuan to come downstairs before casually placing it aside, pretending it had just been poured.

Gu Junyuan suspected nothing and drank it directly.

The footage ends here.

The entire restaurant was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Jin Chen leisurely took the USB drive again, put his arm around Gu Han, and sat down once more.

"Grandfather Gu understands, this matter has nothing to do with Uncle Gu."

Everyone: "……"

Gu Han took a deep breath, scratched Jin Chen's palm, and asked, "When did you find it? Why didn't you show me earlier?"

"I just got it not long ago, and the organization's investigation also takes time." Jin Chen, worried it would affect him, lowered his gaze to look at Gu Han's eyes; only after seeing no sorrow in their exchange did he relax.

Gu Han nodded, thinking, "No wonder I had to go back alone to get it today... I thought it was a diamond ring!"

I don't even know if telling Secretary Liu not to come now is still possible.

Gu Han had little reaction to the video.

But others might not be the same.

Gu Old Master was so angry he hastily took a quick-acting heart pill, panting heavily.

Gu Junyuan was speechless for a moment, first stopping Gu Yeting's attempt to strike Bai Yunyue, pushing his wheelchair back, and now he too could not stay calm.

He stared fixedly at Bai Yunyue, tears streaming down her face, his voice devoid of warmth, already a sign of anger.

Reason.

Compared to Gu Yeting's angry low growl, it is even more chilling.

Bai Yunyue shuddered; she had never seen GuJunyuan this angry before her.

It seemed as if GuJunyuan had always been calm.

"I don't know, I didn't know you would drink it; I… I was preparing it for Ah Ting."

Gu Yeting sneered.

"I have a broken leg! I'm not blind! Do you think I can't tell?"

"I had taken the medicine, I was already dazed and didn't remember there was another cup…… really."

Bai Yunyue crouched beside Gu Yeting's leg, her eyes pleading, "Believe me, even if nobody else believes me, Ah Ting, you…… ah!"

A crisp slap rang out, and Bai Yunyue was struck to the ground without any dignity.

GuJunyuan stepped back, his expression helpless.

Why does this family never learn to speak properly?

Gu Mu Jin's face darkened; he rose and helped him up, his tone toward Gu Yeting not friendly.

"What are you getting angry about, thinking you're some big shot, doing things in Yingguo behind Dad's back that he doesn't know about, but I do."

Gu Mu Jin didn't want to let the Gu Han family see a joke here, he kept it brief; even though Gu Yeting was already irritable to the point of indiscriminate ranting attacks, he pretended not to notice.

Shen Yanyu tried to minimize her presence, her heart in extreme panic, not expecting this matter to still have a twist, and it didn't affect Gu Han's position at all.

Amid the chaos, GuJunyuan still didn't forget to remind Gu Han.

"Don't drink water randomly from now on."

His tone was very solemn.

Gu Han: "……" He rather inappropriately felt like laughing.

Forget it, Old Master is surely angry today; better not mock him.

Jin Chen gave this group a surprise; he naturally couldn't fall behind either.

"Everyone, don't rush to get angry."

Gu Han tapped the table, "This time I came, there's also something to announce."

"After discussion and decision with the board, we will dismiss Gu Yeting from the position of general manager, and the role will be selected from capable subsidiary executives."

Meeting Gu Yeting's shocked gaze, Gu Han curled his lip, lowered his stance slightly, "Uncle, congratulations, you've finally managed to get yourself fired."

"On what grounds do you fire me! I'm also a Gu Family member; the group originally belonged to the Gu Family!"

Gu Yeting's emotions were even more agitated than before; if he weren't still seated in his wheelchair, he would probably be jumping up and down in rage.

"Because I am the group's Chairman, and you—" Gu Han scanned his disheveled appearance from head to toe; although his face was expressionless, it made Gu Yeting feel even more ashamed.

"The headquarters will not allow any executive to fish in troubled waters, coveting the group's funds."

Gu Han did not spell it out in front of the Old Master, but Gu Yeting already knew what he meant; his voice trailed off, his eyes dark and inscrutable.

"Uncle, you'd better just stay home and nurse your injuries."

Gu Han rose, wanting to leave; he couldn't even finish this meal.

Jin Chen then took his hand, gripping it tightly, as if to comfort him.

"I'm fine."

Gu Han gave a light reply, shaking the hands they held, his eyes smiling.

"Xiao Han!" Old Master still called out to him, "You…… well, you really want to make such a fierce scene?"

Gu Han's footsteps stopped, "At first, it wasn't me who wanted to cause trouble."

"If Gu Yeting hadn't kidnapped Jin Chen, I might still have given him a way out."

He finally glanced at the people in the room with various expressions, "Father, I'm leaving."

Gu Junyuan also had no desire to stay, having already had the servants pack the luggage ahead of time.
