In the novel, there are not many mentions about Gu's family. Gu's real appearance is only outside the scene. Lin Yize mentioned it when he solved Gu Shao.

On the contrary, it is Xie Yaobai, an important collaborator of the male protagonist, who has a lot of ink in the text.

—About Xie Yaobai's identity and origins, the novel didn't elaborate, except that Xie Yaobai was met by Lin Yize at a business party, after which the two began to cooperate.

Xie Yaobai's business gradually grew bigger thanks to the Lin family's **** and convenience in logistics and transportation, and Lin Yize also obtained a lot of overt and secret information and ‘convenience’ through Xie Yaobai. The description of the ‘convenience’ in Xie Yaobai’s hands in the novel is very vague, but it can be roughly seen that it is because there is a big figure behind Xie Yaobai.

A few years later, Lin Yize and the Lin Group became the top existence in City B, and therefore had the strength to deal with Gu Shao.

And Xie Yaobai also rises in response to the Lin family's "East Wind".

In this process, it was mentioned that Xie Yaobai and Lin Yize cooperated to solve a well-qualified family.

The novel does not name which family this family is. After all, there are countless cannon fodder and villains that have been dealt with by the male protagonist over the years.

But think about it...

—Is the family that was resolved in it the Gu's family? !

Thinking of this possibility, Gu Xi's face suddenly changed, and she couldn't help but shudder, but the thoughts in her mind began to become a little clearer.

Connecting all of this, the plots previously ignored by Gu Xi in the novel still surfaced one by one.

If Xie Yaobai in the novel is Gu Yaobai now, then everything that will happen to the Gu family in the future, as well as the future experience of Gu Shao, makes sense.

Gu Yaobai's biological mother, Yang Wanni, was just an ordinary nurse at the medical station. She was fancyed by a mysterious senior because of her outstanding appearance.

After that, Yang Wanni and a few other nice-looking young girls were often sent to that high-level place, sometimes in the other party's residence, sometimes in places of recreation.

Out of the identity and oppression of the other party, Yang Wanni could only submit.



That night, Yang Wanni didn't fall asleep while on duty, but was put a certain kind of medicine in the water glass that could make people confused and unconscious.

That night, Yang Wanni was in her office and Gu Qinghua was in her ward. The two did not meet at all.

However, someone falsified the evidence of the scene and surveillance, making Yang Wanni believe that she was violated by Gu Qinghua and approached Gu Qinghua.

And behind all this, there is actually a bigger conspiracy.

At that time, Gu Qinghua was only a middle-level man in the camp, but he became famous because of his outstanding performance and repeated combat exploits. In addition, Gu Qinghua is very capable, and the future is immeasurable.

The high-level executive was not used to seeing Gu Qinghua's promotion so fast, thinking that his future position and rights would be threatened, so he concocted such a conspiracy to destroy Gu Qinghua in advance.

The other party did not expect that since Gu Qinghua found evidence so quickly, he proved his innocence.



Yang Wanni didn't actually die of illness, she was killed by man.

The high-level executive knew that the fact that Gu Qinghua was framed by Yang Wanni and her children alone might soon be found out, so he made people make Yang Wanni’s death and planned to create a situation where Gu Qinghua was taken by Yang Wanni, and the explanation was not clear, and he was afraid. Affected his own future, he secretly killed Yang Wanni's illusion.

Unfortunately, no success.

The frame was never set up. In order to deal with the aftermath, the big man had to let Yang Wanni die of illness.



It took a long time for the turmoil of this matter to subside, and the high-level executive also died down for a while.

It's just that that person has never dispelled the idea of ​​destroying Gu Qinghua and the Gu family. Especially after watching the incident, the Gu family and Gu Qinghua himself were not affected, but their positions were getting higher and higher, and the reputation of the Gu family was getting higher and higher.

The purpose of the man behind it was to destroy Gu's family, and it took him many years to do it.

As the other's biological son, Gu Yaobai did so many things that framed the Gu family behind his back. It was not entirely because the big man took advantage of it: under the same roof, Gu Yaobai has been living under the guidance of others and the Gu family. Under the shadow of his own son, it was his long-cherished wish to destroy the glory of the three brothers in the Gu family.

As for Lin Yize, he also ruined Gu Shao and ruined Gu Shao's family.

"too terrifying…"

Thinking of all the things written or not written in the novel, Gu Xi suddenly felt cold all over her body.

Originally, she thought that she was just living in an early abusive essay on a love mind, and everything that happened was just because of the **** love between the male and female owners, but she did not expect that there were so many terrible things that she could not touch. .

What's more frightening is that the person behind the person who wants to defeat Gu's family seems to be a teacher of Old Man Gu's existence.



Gu Xi squeezed the spoon tightly in her hand, trembling slightly, her palms were full of cold sweat, and she didn't even notice that her knuckles were already squeezed white.

Gu Shao on the side noticed Gu Xi's strangeness and asked Gu Xi in a low voice: "What's the matter?"

Gu Xi was called back to God by Gu Shao's voice, and shook her head instinctively.

Then he subconsciously looked at the opposite Gu Yaobai's place, for fear of being discovered by the other party, and then quickly retracted.

Gu Xi tried very hard to resist leaving from the dinner table and the urge to tell the story of the novel with Mr. Gu and Gu Shao—I can’t say yet. If you say anything in the novel, everyone will only think that she is mentally abnormal. And it may be horrified.

"No, nothing." Gu Xi bit her spoon and whispered.

Gu Shao glanced at Gu Xi quietly, and made sure that there was nothing wrong with Gu Xi, then he let go of his slightly frowning eyebrows.

"If you can't finish it, don't eat it." Gu Shao glanced at the mountain of delicacies in front of Gu Xi, and said.

He was worried that this girl would not be good at rejecting the kindness of the old man and the three boys, Gu Yanlin, and eating himself badly.

After all, Gu Shao motioned to the three of Gu Yanlin with his eyes.

"Good." Gu Xi nodded.



Gu Yaobai and Gu Xueer stayed at Gu's house until they had dinner in the evening before leaving.

During this period, Gu Xi remained vigilant.

In the front room of the Gu family, Gu Xi's hand has been subconsciously tugging on the corners of Gu Shao's clothes until she watched Gu Yaobai take Gu Xueer away, and the other party's car gradually drove away into the Gu family's yard. Gu Xi was relieved. , The tight string is slightly relaxed.

Until Gu Xi found out that Gu Shao, who was next to her, didn't know when she had disappeared.

Gu Xi looked around in a panic, but didn't see Gu Shao before asking a few people around him: "Gu, where's my father?"

"My dad, second uncle, uncle, they went to the study just now." Gu Yanxiao explained.

Gu Yanlin also explained: "It should be to talk about things."

I don't know what Gu Xi was thinking in a daze, but he didn't even notice when the adults left.

However, looking at Gu Xi's dumbfounded look at this time, Gu Yanlin secretly thought it was funny—haha, my sister is too cute, would you be considered a strange brother if you want to poke her in the face?

Here, Gu Xi didn't know what Gu Yanlin was thinking, and nodded seriously.

"Go, take you to see something fun." Gu Xi was a little absent-minded, thinking she was bored, Gu Yanxiao said.

And what they call ‘fun’ is to take Gu Xi to the old man’s place to see the various photos taken by the Gu family in the past.

Of course, it also includes the ugly photos of their respective childhood and ignorance.



"Xixi, look at this, who do you guess this is?" Gu Yanlin asked Gu Xi, pointing to a somewhat chronological photo in the album.

"My dad?" Gu Xi answered almost without even thinking about it.

The picture should look like Gu Shao when he was a teenager. This is one of the few pictures of Gu Shao in this album, and it was obviously taken secretly.

"How did you tell? I thought you would guess it was my dad." Gu Chenyi on the side said in surprise.

The second uncle and his dad look alike, especially when they were a teenager, they looked super alike.

When Gu Chenyi looked at the photo album before, he admitted that he was wrong.

Gu Xi glanced at Gu Chenyi, then pointed to the human in the photo: "Hey, the color of my dad's eyes is different from that of my uncle."

It really is…

Gu Chenyi: "..." That's why he is stupid.

"Next book, next book."

"Grandpa, how many books are there? How do I think there are more than when I was last time?" Gu Chenyi flipped through several other albums and muttered over and over again.

The few people who couldn't sit still didn't like to watch photo albums, and they were all taken by the old man before.

But today Gu Xi came, and the three people suddenly found this session very interesting.

"This is a few years ago. This is the eldest brother, this is Gu Yanxiao, this is me, and this..." The three of them pointed to the photos in the album and explained to Gu Xi what happened during the photo shoot. Funny.

"Fuck!" Gu Chenyi almost jumped up when he saw a certain photo.

"Gu Yanxiao secretly took photos in my group, when did Grandpa actually type them out!"

Although Gu Chenyi desperately wanted to destroy the corpse, Gu Xi still saw it: the photo should be what it looked like two or three years ago. In the photo, Gu Chenyi was sitting on the toilet and carrying a bowl of snail noodles.

A good-tasting teenager.

Gu Xi commented in her heart, then raised her eyebrows and looked at Gu Chenyi: "Do you want to be there?"

Gu Chenyi: "..." Shen Te Ma was on the scene.

"I was really framed by Gu Yanxiao!" Gu Chenyi howled: What a shame!

Gu Yanxiao on the side glanced at Gu Chenyi indifferently: "What caused me to frame it? Isn't this what you want to eat, and you have to go to the toilet to eat it?"

"Not you yet."

At that time, Gu Chenyi had an appendicitis operation, and the doctor wouldn't let him eat too much, but the problem was that he was hungry.

So he fooled Gu Yanxiao to secretly buy him food.

He didn't say he wants snail noodles either! This is Gu Yanxiao's own proposition to buy.

He wouldn't eat if it weren't for the hallucinations of hungry.

But while eating, Gu Chenyi found that it was still a bit delicious.

"If it wasn't for you to buy it for me, and you fooled me into saying that this stuff tastes so big, it won't be found in the toilet... I just believed in your ghost!" Gu Chenyi vomited: I only blame myself for being too young.

Gu Yanxiao held back his laugh, patted Gu Chenyi's shoulder solemnly, and said, "Don't worry, I won't send this ugly picture of you to those girls who like you at school."

"You said that, I'm more worried about it." Gu Chenyi gave Gu Yanxiao a blank look and took the album: "No, I have to destroy it now, and also delete the contents of your phone!"

Before Gu Chenyi could move, Grandpa Gu's voice came from behind him.

"What to delete! This is the history of our Gu family." Old man Gu glared at Gu Chenyi. These photos were collected by him on a special trip, and he asked his people to type them out, and they will be full of memories in the future.

Gu Chenyi: "..." No, he doesn't want to be this ‘history’.

"I didn't regret it." It was a pity.

Mr. Gu sighed with regret.

None of them saw what Xixi looked like when he was a child. The only photo they found was the one taken by Xu Jiaofeng of the Lin family and was taken out by Xu Jiaofeng from the Lin family and prepared to be thrown away. Later, when he was taken to the police station by a kind reporter, he was about to take it for enlightenment. Photo.

In the photo, Gu Xi was dirty and her face was covered with tears. She was still holding on to the lollipop that was only half of the lollipop left after she fell. Her eyes were bewildered and frightened.

Mr. Gu felt distressed when he looked at that photo, and he didn't dare to look at it again.

The cherishment when I was a child must be very cute too.

Gu Gu Yanlin and the others were also thinking in their hearts.

"Not before, but more slowly in the future." Gu Yanlin said.

"Haha, yes, there will be more and more in the future."

"Come on, let's take one now." Gu Chenyi took out his phone.

Several people took the old man and took a few selfies.

Fortunately, the appearance is high enough, it is not so ugly.

Following a few people making a fuss, Gu Xi's fears and worries caused by the plot in the novel and Gu Yaobai's words have subsided a lot.

However, Gu Xi hadn't forgotten that matter.

"By the way, Grandpa, is there a picture of you before?" Gu Xi asked.

Such inquiries made the old man feel happy for a while: "Haha, Xixi still want to see grandpa's photos?"

"Yeah." Gu Xi nodded.

Upon seeing this, the old man felt right in his heart and ran to his cabinet without hesitation, and found a photo album with a sense of time.

Look at the message on the first page of the album, this album should have been collected by their grandmother.

"Look, this is a photo of Grandpa who was sent to the army just before..." Grandpa Gu introduced to Gu Xi one by one.

Most of the photos of Mr. Gu are official upper body ID photos, and some group photos.

This is exactly what Gu Xi wanted to see.

Gu Xi turned to a group photo with the names written in sequence at the bottom, her eyes fell on the names below, and looked it up very seriously, but unfortunately she didn't find one with the surname Xie.

I flipped through a few more pictures, and the only one named Xie seemed to be younger than the old man Gu. It should not be the teacher who harmed the old man Gu's family in the novel.

However, Gu Xi still didn't want to give up, so she pointed to the person corresponding to the name and asked, "Grandpa, who is this person?"

"Is this?" The old man leaned over, remembered for a moment, and then said: "This person is not in our class, but in the third class..."

"What's wrong?" The old man asked suspiciously.

Gu Xi shook her head quickly and said, "No, I just think this person looks a bit like the hot little brother recently."

Hearing Gu Xi's words, Grandpa Gu didn't take it seriously, and muttered: "Your little girls now like this kind of looks, it wasn't popular like this before we let it go."

"Grandpa, do you have any other photos?" Gu Xi asked unwillingly.

"That's it. When I was young, I didn't like to save photos. Your grandma took care of these." After a pause, Grandpa Gu smiled and looked at Gu Xi again: "What's the matter, Xixi still want to see the previous photos?"

Gu Xi nodded, shook her head again, and found a reason: "I found that Grandpa was super handsome when he was young, so I wanted to see it."

After a pause, Gu Xi immediately added: "Master is also an old handsome guy."

Gu Xi's words amused the old man, and waved his hand again: "We didn't want to grow up well at that time, the ability is the last word, hahaha."

Even so, the old man's heart was groaning for a while.



Gu Xi's gaze fell on the few photos that Gu Chenyi sent to the group just now, and her heart was warm, and she couldn't help feeling a little.

Whether it was before or now, this is a very happy family.

Whether it's for the plot service or for the selfishness of some big shots, why should Gu's family be used as cannon fodder...

Gu Xi shook her head silently, a flash of determination in her eyes.



the other side.

Gu Shao's cell phone message, who was talking about things in the study, also sounded at the same time, and he received several photos sent by Gu Chenyi to the group.

"These guys." Gu Feng looked at the photo and smiled.

When I saw the photo, I got together with a few kids at home, and Gu Shao smiled brightly. Gu Shao's eyes were soft.

Putting away the phone, Gu Shao resumed the previous topic, saying: "Over there, there is still some evidence of necessity for the time being."

"Maybe Gu Yaobai can be used as a breakthrough." Gu Xuan said.

"It can be considered." Gu Feng said.

Gu Shao was noncommittal.

The three talked about Gu Feng's serious injury during the mission.

At that time, although Mr. Gu was already old and gradually retreated to the second line, it was still the time when the Gu family's limelight was at its peak.

Coupled with the three sons' enthusiasm, the Gu family's prestige became even more prestigious for a while.

Many people said behind their backs: Gu’s family is probably going to go up a new level.

At that time, Gu Feng in the army, without even using the strength of the Gu family, relied on his personal exploits to reach a very eye-catching position in less than 5 years.

It happened that at that time, Gu Feng was severely injured by an explosion during a mission that shouldn't have any risk, and he was also disabled.

Unlike Gu Shao and Gu Xuan, the boss of the Gu family really likes the atmosphere in the army. If it weren't for that incident, Gu Feng must still be in the army now, and it is absolutely impossible to turn into a civilian post.



As for the suspicious accident, at first, Gu Shao found some evidence pointing to Gu Yaobai, so people went to get Gu Yaobai.

However, the Gu family had more evidence later, and found that the matter was more complicated than they thought. Gu Yaobai is one side, and many people really participated in it.

The only blame is that the original Gu family was too arrogant.

And the one who led the accident was the person behind Gu Yaobai. The identity of the other party was not simple, but he was still a teacher whom Mr. Gu respected very much.

This is also the reason why the old man Gu and Gu Feng had saved Gu Yaobai out, but Gu Shao did not stop him in private.

On the bright side, what others saw was that Gu Shao had fallen out with Old Man Gu because of this incident and left the Gu family directly.

But in fact, Gu Shao inherited the position of the head of the Gu family. He left the Gu family on the face of it, but in fact it was to protect the people of the Gu family.

"Hey, it's a pity..." Gu Xuan sighed lightly, "If the clues from Gu Yaobai weren't too important, he should have settled his business long ago."

There was really not much of Gu Yaobai’s injury to Gu Feng before, but what happened on the day of his engagement banquet really did take care of Gu Yaobai.

—At first, Gu Xuan and his wife were only engaged, so naturally they did not consider having children so early. However, Gu Yaobai did something in private: Gu Yaobai wanted to frame Gu Xuan's newlywed wife for a relationship with Gu Shao, and even arranged an exposure the next day.

Fortunately, Gu Shao noticed the error early and notified him.

Although it wasn't the ‘accident’ back then, and there would be no regrets that this little cutie appeared, but the things Gu Yaobai did wrong can’t be justified. One yard goes to one yard, and the accounts that should be settled have to be settled.

It is a pity that the person behind Gu Yaobai has been in a high position for many years and has too many complicated networks. Even today, the other party has already retired from his position on the surface, but the actual power still exists.

The other party couldn't help the Gu family easily, and the Gu family also owed the fire, and couldn't do the other side.

"It won't take too long." Gu Shao looked down and said in a deep voice.



When the three of them finished talking about the matter and came back to the living room from the study, they saw that Gu Xi was already asleep on the sofa, wrapped in a blanket covered by Gu Feng's wife Wang Pei.

"You three talk about things and look at the time." Wang Pei spit out, then looked at Gu Xi and smiled, then turned around and said to Gu Shao: "It's probably because I'm tired from playing today. Let her go to the room to sleep here. The girl just refused to say anything, she will wait for you to come out here."
