Chapter 721 There's no escaping it
Before she could utter her sarcastic words, the utterly clueless Lu Shengying was suddenly sent flying sideways.
"what--"
Mrs. Lu screamed in fright. Lu Jianshe slapped her and glared fiercely at the instigator, Ge Shaoting.
"You've gone too far!!"
Ignoring Lu Zhaolin, who was rushing to help Lu Shengying, Ge Shaoting showed no fear or backing down when facing Lu Jianshe, who was like an angry lion, and displayed all the imposing manner of a gang leader.
"If he barks like a dog again, I'll kill him!"
He doesn't mind people saying he's ill-mannered, because he wasn't raised in the comfortable environment of mainland China where people learn by following the rules.
However, although his adoptive father used him to shield himself from disaster and was always wary of him, he never allowed him to be weak and embarrass the K gang in public.
His survival philosophy has always been to retaliate in kind when someone bullies you. He was already being merciful by only punching Lu Shengying once instead of killing her.
Because he crossed his own bottom line.
Ge Shaoting thought of his mother. He had been born and wanted someone to take care of him, but all of that was ruined!
Hatred gazes were fixed on Gu Beizhan again. He was the one who destroyed everything, and he deserved to die more than anyone else!
She had already decided to let go of the past and leave this place with her mother, so why did he keep coming to her?
Perhaps only by killing him can we finally find peace!
The more he thought about it, the more obvious the murderous intent in Ge Shaoting's eyes became.
Lu Jianshe was initially taken aback by his constant talk of violence, but then he was furious. Such arrogance showed that he didn't respect anyone at all.
Just as he was about to lose his temper, he noticed that Ge Shaoting was acting strangely. Following his gaze, he saw Gu Beizhan, whose face was ashen.
Suddenly, he remembered a good show he had seen near the guesthouse a few days ago. How could he have forgotten that this person had a very good relationship with Zhou Yichen?
Could he use him to drag Zhou Yichen down with him?
Thinking of this, Lu Jianshe disregarded seeking justice for his nephew and was about to stir up hatred between Ge Shaoting and Gu Beizhan so that one of them would die on the spot, with Zhou Yichen taking the blame. However, a clear and cold female voice suddenly broke his plan.
Chu Xin remained calm, her words possessing the most soothing power. She asked, "Ge Shaoting, have you thought about what you're going to do? Do you think a scumbag like you is worth the price you'll pay?"
Ge Shaoting slowly turned his head, his gaze somewhat unfocused and empty, but he had heard everything Chu Xin said.
He countered, "Don't you support whatever decisions I make?"
Now you want to stop it?
Chu Xin shrugged indifferently, "Of course I support you, but I need to make sure you're thinking clearly right now, so that when you pay with your life or go to jail, I won't hear you singing 'Tears Behind Bars' with regret."
You know I'd definitely be tempted to sneak into jail and deal with you, but then wouldn't I be committing a crime too?
Ge Shaoting: ...
You are good at persuasion.
The two of them suddenly changed their tone and said these things, which made Lu Zhaolin, who was supporting Lu Shengying on the ground, both angry and resentful.
He was angry at his son for always acting without thinking.
He repeatedly instructed him to speak and do less in front of outsiders, especially those who could be of use to him, and to delegate the initial tasks to others so that he would never be the subject of gossip.
He could act with ease in front of Lu Shujing, but in front of his elders, he became like a ghost, saying and doing exactly the same thing as that idiot Lu Shujing.
Not only did she lose favor, she also repeatedly disappointed her elder brother.
As for hatred, there's a lot to it.
He regretted that his elder brother couldn't make a quick decision and arrest Ge Shaoting.
He hated Chu Xin for stirring things up like a troublemaker.
They resented Zhou Yichen for letting things unfold unchecked and coldly observing, even though he could have intervened.
She resented Ge Shaoting's unwillingness to soften his stance and seized upon a single sentence to argue with him.
She hated Gu Beizhan even more for being useless, unable to even control his own son, which implicated her and Shengying.
A person who is selfish to the core hates everyone present, but doesn't blame himself in the slightest.
Lu Zhaolin didn't even consider that if he hadn't approached Gu Beizhan with ulterior motives, guaranteeing that he could help persuade Ge Shaoting to acknowledge his ancestors, even if Ge Shaoting and Gu Beizhan had started fighting again the moment they met, it wouldn't have had anything to do with him.
This world has cause and effect, and retribution. Sometimes it is so fast that it can happen on the spot, and sometimes it is as slow as a boomerang that always comes back to you when you least expect it, and you can't escape it even if you want to.
