Shen Tong's death caused turmoil throughout Shuzhou.
For most people, they think that Shen Tong could not bear the criticism of the world and committed suicide out of fear of crime.
The suicide note left by Shen Tong also pushed Ximen Qingshan to the forefront, and the police opened a case to investigate Ximen Qingshan. Naturally, the result was that there was insufficient evidence and the case was dropped.
Such a result naturally caused dissatisfaction among many netizens, but for the real wealthy families in Shuzhou, this was something that was expected.
In the ancestral home of the Gu family, Gu Bei, who together with Shen Tong was known as Shuzhou's unrivaled twins, was sitting anxiously in his study, analyzing the reasons for Shen Tong's death. But even if he was as smart as him, he still couldn't figure out what happened to Shen Tong. Just die like this?
That guy is no stupider than me, how could he fall into such a situation?
At this moment, the study door was pushed open, and Gu Changsheng, wearing a long gown, strode in.
Gu Bei was stunned and quickly stood up from the desk.
"grandfather……"
"Sit!" Gu Changsheng waved his hand, indicating to Gu Bei that there was no need to be polite.
He walked to the sofa opposite Gu Bei and sat down.
"What are you thinking about?" Gu Changsheng smiled softly as he looked at this grandson whom he had high hopes for.
Gu Bei didn't hide anything and expressed his doubts.
He has analyzed Shen Tong's plan to frame Jiutian Media and Entertainment Company very thoroughly. It can be said that from the perspective of business war, Shen Tong has done it perfectly. At least if it were him, there would be absolutely no possibility of turning defeat into victory. But who would have thought that Jiutian The entertainment media completely turned the tide of the war in a short period of time.
Even Shen Tong died inexplicably.
He really couldn't imagine who was leading all of this behind Jiutian Media and Entertainment Company.
"How do you think our Gu family compares with the Shen family?" Gu Changsheng did not immediately answer his eldest grandson's doubts, but instead asked.
Gu Bei was stunned for a moment, thinking carefully for a moment, and then cautiously said: "They should be equally matched, right?"
"Then how do you think our two families compare with the other three major families?" Gu Changsheng asked again.
Gu Bei was stunned again. The other three major families naturally refer to the Ouyang, Ximen, and Cao families.
Of course, there used to be a Dugu family, but it has been destroyed.
"In terms of economic strength alone, the gap between us and those three companies should not be big..."
"Then why can't we and the Shen family become the top family in Shuzhou?" Gu Changsheng asked again.
Gu Bei thought for a moment and said tentatively: "Is it because both our families lack top experts?"
"Yes, what we lack is absolute power. You are talented and smart, and you have never taken warriors seriously. You always feel that warriors are just a bunch of fools and cannot achieve great things. But you have ignored an important issue. When an individual When the strength exceeds a certain limit, any conspiracy and conspiracy are illusory. Why did Shen Tong die? Was he not smart enough? No, he was too weak. If he was a master of the Nine Innate Realms or even a Grandmaster, he would How could he die?" Gu Changsheng said seriously.
A cold sweat broke out behind Gu Bei's back.
He looked at his grandfather in disbelief.
"No need to make random guesses. The person who killed Shen Tong was Ye Xiu. He did no better than Shen Tong in this matter. The only difference is that he is strong enough, so he has the ability to If it were you who could defeat Qiao, you would never be able to do it!" Gu Changsheng sighed softly.
Gu Bei frowned.
"What do you think the Ximen family will do next?" Seeing that his grandson didn't seem to completely accept his point of view, Gu Changsheng didn't care and continued to ask.
"We should do our best in public relations to eliminate the impact of this matter as soon as possible..." Gu Bei thought for a while and said.
"No, they will try their best to get rid of Ye Xiu!" Gu Changsheng shook his head.
Gu Bei was shocked again. He always felt that with the status of the Ximen family in Shuzhou, there was no need to do such extreme things. Once something went wrong in the process and someone caught the blame, the entire Ximen family would be in trouble. suffered more severe losses.
"Xiao Bei, you just think too much. Using force to defeat cleverness and strength is what these top forces are best at. Otherwise, why are these top forces in Shuzhou all martial arts forces? Not our Gu family, nor the Shen family?" Gu Changsheng sighed slightly disappointedly.
Gu Bei was suddenly startled.
"Then Grandpa, what should we do?"
"Didn't Shen Tong invite you to join the Shunan Chamber of Commerce before? You should have met a few other people. Try to find a way to win over them and work for Ye Xiu!" Gu Changsheng said softly.
Gu Bei's expression changed drastically.
"Grandpa, do you think the Ximen family will lose in the end?"
"Haha, even the Dugu family was wiped out by that kid. There is only one Dugu sword missing, so what does the Ximen family mean?" Gu Changsheng chuckled as he thought of the potential shown by Ye Xiu.
Gu Bei opened his eyes wide again and looked at his grandfather in disbelief. Was the destruction of the Dugu family related to that boy?
"Xiao Bei, I know you want to be the protagonist. It's lovely. Sometimes, you have to accept your fate. If you don't have enough strength, you can just be a supporting role. At least, you can live longer!" Gu Changsheng said no more. There was nothing more to say, but he just left this sentence, got up and left the study.
Gu Bei was left standing there with an unwilling look on his face.
He wholeheartedly wanted to build the Gu family into the top power in Shuzhou, but now according to his grandfather's wishes, as long as the Gu family does not have a strong person in charge, it will always be a supporting role.
You used to rely on the Ouyang family, but now you have to rely on a bumpkin from Rongdu?
How willing he was!
Just thinking of his grandfather's words just now, Gu Bei clenched his fist tightly. So what if he didn't give in?
Gu Bei silently took out his cell phone and made a call.
After a while, Gu Bei left the Gu family and drove towards a villa community in the suburbs of Shuzhou.
Shuzhou Lanke Villa Community, in the garden of a luxuriously decorated villa.
A woman wearing a purple cheongsam was sitting on a rattan chair, basking in the sun, drinking coffee, and holding a newspaper of the day in her hand.
In today's Internet age, many people obtain news and information through mobile phones or computers, but women still prefer this most traditional method.
After reading the news about Shen Tong's death in the newspaper, the woman sighed softly.
I am full of regrets about what happened to the man who always liked me, but was politely rejected by me many times, and finally wanted to marry the daughter of the Ximen family.
No matter how talented and clever you are, it doesn’t matter if you have all your calculations, once you die, everything will become an illusion!
Ye Zhengnan, your son is really different from you.
Just thinking about the reason for Shen Tong's death, the woman let out another long sigh.
"Miss, Mr. Gu and the others are here..." At this time, the housekeeper came over from the house and said respectfully to the woman...
