560: The Gu Family of Jijing Island

The Gu Family of Jijing Island

Old Madam looked down and thought about Huo Zhi's purpose in coming to the capital.0

The head of Jijing Island was surnamed Gu in the earlier years. But for some reason, Huo Zhi was chosen as the current head. Network security on Jijing Island was extremely high.

Huo Zhi made some changes on Jijing Island and many powerful forces watched closely. But no one could get concrete information, so no one dared to act rashly.

Following that, Jijing Island recovered its stability in the short span of a month. The four big families on Jijing Island reached a restricted equilibrium.

With the support from the elder's, Huo Zhi, who appeared suddenly, became the new head. It happened really quickly.

No one knew what happened afterwards.

There were only rumors that in that one turbulent month on Jijing Island, countless outstanding juniors in many families disappeared for no reason. Dead or alive, they were nowhere to be found.

As for the Gu family, who had originally led the island, they had not been affected in any way, but their status on Jijing Island declined significantly.

From a global standpoint, there was an unspoken mutual understanding over who was behind the takeover. It was so clear that no one dared to take the new head of Jijing Island, Huo Zhi, lightly.

Old Madam seemed to have thought of something. "Ms. Gu seems to have some connections with Huo Zhi."

"Gu Mang?" Lu Zhan asked.

Old Madam was rather surprised. She recalled the scene of Gu Mang and Huo Zhi at the entrance of the hotel.

Suddenly, her face stiffened and she turned to Lu Zhan and murmured, "Ms. Gu… Her surname is Gu… Could she be…"

Lu Zhan looked at Old Madam and understood her doubts. His face turned serious. "Mom, are you suspecting that Gu Mang is part of that Gu family?"

Old Madam nodded in a daze. Lu Zhan went silent and he pondered too.

But after a few seconds, Old Madam shook her head. "I don't think so. Jijing Island is very traditional and they take bloodlines very seriously. If Gu Mang is a descendant of the Gu family, the Gu family would never let Gu Mang hang around here."

No one in the capital understood the rules of Jijing Island clearer than the Lu family.

Lu Zhan thought it was impossible too. It was likely just a coincidence that Gu Mang had the same surname as the Gu family of Jijing Island.

…

Meanwhile.

At the Yu Family's villa.

Yu Zhongjing came to the villa so infrequently such that Yu Mufeng suspected that he was an orphan.

"What? Huo Zhi came to the capital?!" Yu Zhongjing's moustache hair almost stood on end.

As soon as Yu Mufeng entered the living room and untied his tie, he told the news to his father. Unexpectedly, his father's eyebrows were raised so high they were almost at the top of his head.

He took off his tie, rolled it up a few times, and threw it on the sofa. He sat down and said with a speechless expression, "No, Dad, can you just calm down?"

"How could I stay calm?" Yu Zhongjing was rather anxious. He turned to Yu Mufeng. "It's not like you have no idea how the big boss's temper is. They didn't get into a fight, did they?"

"No."

Yu Zhongjing sighed in relief.

Yu Mufeng unbuttoned his shirt, "The Grandmaster's temper is rather okay now and she doesn't really fight with anyone anymore. In the past she would have smashed up the entire banquet."

"Huh?" Yu Zhongjing had just relaxed but now he was worried again. "What has this got to do with the Qin family's banquet?"

Yu Mufeng gave him a brief overview of the incident at the banquet that night.

Yu Zhongjing frowned. "Is the Yu family crazy?"

The Lu family did not keep in contact with just anyone. Who would dare ask the Lu family for clarification when there is so much gossip going around outside? The Yu family made use of this point and spread rumors shamelessly out there?

Yu Mufeng shrugged and lay on the sofa with his legs stretched out straight. He played with his phone. "Perhaps so. But you know Lu Chengzhou. Several families have gotten into trouble."

Everyone in the capital was afraid of that young master and there was a reason for that.
