"You should be able to think of it." Chu Feng looked solemn,
"For the human race, this is a terrible disaster, and it is also the beginning of Nirvana and rebirth. So, don't think too much, just do your best."
"Master hesitated before because he was worried that if I leaked the truth of the matter, it would cause a chain reaction?" Zhou Zhiruo guessed.
"People always need some hope, and knowing too much is not good."
Zhou Zhiruo was worried and left with Luan'er who was still unaware, leaving Chu Feng alone, looking out the window at the street in silence.
…
Shanhaiyuan is a famous gathering area for rich people in Linhai City. Those who can live here are all rich and noble people.
The Gu family, the most famous among the ten major families in Linhai, happens to live here.
"The young master is back."
In the early morning, Gu Cheng, dressed in military uniform, strode into the Gu family's villa area. The servants passing by greeted him respectfully.
Gu Cheng only nodded slightly and didn't respond much. He walked very quickly and quickly entered the villa.
"Cheng'er, you're finally back!" When Mrs. Gu saw her son, she immediately looked overjoyed, hugged him into her arms, and said reproachfully,
"You kid, you know how to be out in the wild, join some kind of demon hunting team, and stay away from home for days and nights. Do you know how worried your mother is?"
"Um, I'm fine." Gu Cheng was a little embarrassed. He was so old, but his mother always treated him as a child and wouldn't let him do anything dangerous. The matter of the demon hunting team, if he hadn't insisted on it again and again, I'm afraid it would have happened.
Just like the last life, he couldn't join at all. It was precisely because of this that he was so miserable in the last life.
However, this is not to be blamed on the mother. She is just an ordinary woman, how could she know so much?
"If you deal with monsters all day long, who knows if something will happen." Mrs. Gu didn't buy it, but she also knew that her son was older and had his own ideas, so she added,
"I heard there was a rat tide yesterday. Did it affect you?"
"I already retreated yesterday. It's nothing serious." Gu Cheng explained with a smile.
"Just quit. I heard the news yesterday and I have been worried and scared. It's not convenient to contact you now. I'm afraid you will be implicated." After a pause, he continued,
"The job of the demon hunting team is too dangerous. It is only right to ask your father to use some connections to find another job for you."
"What do you, a woman, know? In today's world, any job is not dangerous. Even if you stay at home, there is no guarantee that disaster will fall from the sky."
A rich voice suddenly came, but it was Gu Chenglin's father, Gu Changlin, the head of the Gu family, one of the top families in Linhai City. Although he was over fifty years old, he was still young and powerful, with a domineering air about him.
"I don't understand, but is it wrong for me to care about Cheng'er? Don't think that I don't know your plans." Mrs. Gu sneered and said,
"The world is in chaos, the original family is beginning to shake, and the Gu family needs a representative to step up. Therefore, Cheng'er was forcibly pushed out. However, there are so many children in the Gu family, why is Cheng'er the one who takes the risk?
"
"You have long hair but short knowledge. Isn't this a lesson for Cheng'er?"
Gu Changlin replied coldly, but did not intend to argue with the other party any more. That would be just asking for trouble. He turned to look at Gu Cheng, with a trace of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. Since half a year ago, his dandy son suddenly woke up.
He began to restrain his temper and concentrate on striving for the prosperity of his family, which really comforted him.
"Come to the study with me."
Gu Cheng didn't say anything, patted his mother's vest and followed her.
The study is not large, but its layout is extremely elegant, highlighting its simplicity and solidity.
"Come and take a look at this." Gu Changlin did not sit down, but reached out and picked up a document from the table and handed it to the other party.
"When did it happen?"
Gu Cheng read the document and his eyes suddenly narrowed. This was not intelligence information, but an agreement. An alliance agreement between almost all the upper-class families in Linhai City.
"Just last night, I went to attend in person." Gu Changlin paused and suddenly asked,
"What do you think about this?"
"The Liu family, the Tian family, and the Cheng family. Tsk tsk, they are all among the top ten big families." Gu Cheng did not answer directly, but there was undisguised ridicule in his tone.
"You don't like it?"
Gu Changlin was a little surprised. This alliance agreement involves almost half of the family forces in Linhai City, and involves all aspects within Linhai City and its surrounding areas. Once they join forces, they will definitely be a very powerful force. By then,
Even Kyoto can do nothing.
The world is in chaos, and every family is feeling unprecedented pressure. It is the right thing to stay together for warmth. No matter from which aspect, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
"I'm afraid these people want to completely control Linhai in order to prepare for the upcoming great changes. Unfortunately, it is just a leaf that blinds the eye. After all, it is just an ant's view." Gu Cheng sneered.
"Tell me more about it." Gu Changlin didn't think his son was talking nonsense. He must have his own ideas.
"The Demon Hunting Bureau is not that simple. It involves the former spirit organization, and this force must be familiar to my father. In other words, as long as the spirit organization and the country stand together, any dissent is just a castle in the air and will never succeed.
"Gu Cheng shook his head slightly,
"Furthermore, the changes in the sky will not stop. Chaos is coming. All conspiracies and tricks are false. In the end, you still have to rely on your own strength."
"Huh..." Gu Changlin sighed and murmured,
"It seems that a father's vision is still somewhat limited. I admire Mr. Jiang for this, but he clearly chose to reject it at that time."
"Jiang Tao is indeed not simple, but what is even more difficult is his granddaughter Jiang Lu." Gu Cheng said seemingly unintentionally.
"Jiang Lu, that little girl?" Gu Changlin was a little confused.
"Jiang Lu is deeply involved with the spiritual organization. Father should pay more attention to it in the future." Gu Cheng did not say much, but then added,
"By the way, how is the construction of the base going?"
"This period has not gone well. Ever since the weather changed, the workers have become a little restless. Your second uncle and third uncle have been trying to comfort them."
"The base is related to my Gu family's retreat. It is the foundation for being able to survive the crisis safely in the future. It must not be delayed." Gu Cheng looked solemn and spoke sternly.
"Don't worry about money. Those are all external possessions. Before long, all money will be a pile of waste paper. Only bases and materials are truly valuable things."
"Are you sure that the two previous catastrophic changes will happen again?" Gu Changlin asked solemnly.
"Father, don't worry about this. I can guarantee it 100%. As for the reason, I can't explain it. In short, I won't talk nonsense rashly."
"Okay, I will supervise them more closely. In addition, the work of the demon hunting team is very dangerous. You should also take care of yourself. If something happens to you, everything we do will be meaningless."
"Danger does exist objectively, but it is very rare to threaten my life." Gu Cheng smiled slightly, but his tone was full of strong confidence.
