  December 16th, Huading Hotel

  The press conference was scheduled for 10:00 am, but by around 9:00 am, the venue was already packed with people, and even the aisles were lined with cameras. Outside, more people continued to pour in, making the entire venue seem especially crowded. The originally planned security personnel seemed insufficient.

  "Editor Meng has arrived." Someone said, and everyone's eyes turned to the entrance of the conference hall.

  "Lin Xia Feng Qi" has an international influence, and domestically it is one of the top five magazines, its influence should not be underestimated. However, the relationship between Meng Yu Feng and Gu Ze Kai is subtle, everyone thought that sending a few reporters from their magazine would be enough, but unexpectedly Meng Yu Feng came in person.

  Everyone automatically and consciously gave way to the best shooting position.

  "Director!" Assistant Jiang Shi helped her set up the equipment and slightly adjusted the lens.

  "Thank you." Meng Yufeng stood in front of the machine adjusting the lens focus, she didn't want to come originally, but after learning that Gu Huazhuo would be coming over, her heart still had some misgivings.

  Moreover, she also wants to know what Gu Ze Kai is going to do after all.

  The lens slowly focused, until it was fixed on the nameplate on the press conference table in front of her. Suddenly, a figure appeared in her lens, his eyes staring at the lens, and although he was separated by the machine, she could clearly feel the cold, gloomy gaze in the man's eyes falling on her body. Her body tensed up, and she moved the lens away, looking at Gu Ze Kai.

  He wore all black today, which set off his originally cold and clear features, making them even more sharp. The flashing lights were concentrated on him, but the dark aura around him only increased, like a leopard lurking in the night.

  Gu Ze Kai looks quite good, with a slender face, pale lips, and a hint of coolness. His straight nose and sword-like eyebrows give him a resolute and stern appearance. Unlike Meng Shao Yu and Ye Jiu Xiao's coldness, he has an air of melancholy about him, and his eyes seem to be hiding many things.

  For the young Meng Yu Feng, this inscrutable youth was all the more mysterious and intriguing, making her want to explore him even more. Even though he rarely showed gentle affection, she thought that was a different kind of charm.

  Looking back now, I was really stupid at that time. There were so many good men, why did I have to go and fall for someone who didn't care about me?

  Gu Ze Kai sat down, surrounded by several high-ranking executives of Gu's company. To his side was the chief lawyer of Gu's company, Zhuo Yang.

  Everyone was even more expecting Gu Huazai to appear, but knowing that the press conference had started, they didn't hear her voice either. As all the entrances of the venue were closed, everyone looked a bit disappointed. The security outside was strict, and it's likely that Gu Zeke wouldn't let her in easily.

  The manager of the PR department of Gu's company gave a formal opening speech and then it was time for media Q&A.

  "Director Guo, there's a rumor circulating that you didn't obtain this position through proper channels. What are your thoughts on this?"

  "Regarding this point, our group's lawyer will make a corresponding statement."

  Zhuo Yang immediately cleared his throat, "We have a document left by Mr. Gu Canrong here, which clearly states that if he encounters any accidents, the ownership of his properties is a legitimate and legal document, if everyone does not believe it, they can go to the notary office to inquire, there should be a record."

  "Mr. Gu Quanrong has always been very fond of Miss Gu, but the company didn't give her a single share, which is really unreasonable."

  Gu Zekei's sharp eyebrows moved slightly, "Maybe it's because she has never taken over any business of the company, and taking over hastily is also a risk for the company."

  "But some people say that Mr. Gu's fall down the stairs was not an accident, but a premeditated act. What do you think about this view?"

  "If it's really like that, the police should have intervened long ago."

  ……

  Jiang Shi pushed Meng Yu Feng's arm, "He is well-prepared, his words are flawless, Miss Gu wants to turn the tables, it's very difficult!"

  Meng Yu Feng pointed at the equipment that was still filming and said, "Keep a close eye on the camera lens, these are all irrelevant."

  "Chief Editor, tell me honestly, will Miss Gu come today or not?" The press conference is scheduled to start in half an hour, and twenty minutes have already passed.

  Jiang Shi had barely finished speaking when the manager of Gu's public relations department opened his mouth.

  "Excuse me for interrupting everyone, the Q&A session has ended, and next is General Manager Gu's inauguration ceremony."

  Zhuo Yang stood up, "Regarding the decision to appoint Gu Ze Kai as the executive of the Gu Group, it has been unanimously agreed upon by the board of directors and all shareholders ——"

  "I object!" Suddenly a pair of clean hands stretched out from the crowd.

  The sound was crisp and pleasant, with a soft beauty unique to women, yet it also carried a hint of tenacity.

  Everyone's eyes turned towards the source of the sound.

  He slowly stood up, reached out to remove the duck tongue cap and mask on his head, and that delicate and pretty little face was completely exposed in front of everyone.

  The camera suddenly focused on her, and I thought she hadn't arrived yet, but it turned out that she had already arrived at the venue.

  "The... " The PR manager's face stiffened, looking at Gu Ze Kai with great difficulty.

  "Miss Gu, how did you end up here!" Zhuo Yang blurted out subconsciously.

  "Our company has encountered such a big thing, and it's about to change hands. I'll take a look, is there a problem?" She said, walking directly towards the podium.

  She lifted her hand and took off the long down jacket, revealing a black Hepburn-style little dress underneath, with a stand-up collar design. Her slightly curly long hair was neatly tied up, her makeup was light, but those red lips were extremely provocative, like a dark night rose, dazzling and captivating.

  As an artist, her image is set as a pure goddess, but at this moment, she looks so strong and powerful that it reminds people of the image of the empress in "The Legend of Miyue", with her slender 15cm black high heels making her already tall figure look even more straight and slender.

  She walked up to the PR manager's side, slightly raised an eyebrow, "Excuse me, thank you."

  "Ah!" The man took a step back, and Gu Huazhu directly picked up the microphone in front of him, pulling on the cord. The venue was suddenly filled with an ear-piercing electric current sound, followed by her clear and pleasant voice coming from the microphone.

  "Mr. Zhuo said he succeeded Mr. Gu as executor and got approval from all shareholders?"

  This is a public relations statement, in reality, it must be the minority obeying the majority.

  "Miss, I know that when you came of age, you acquired a portion of the company's shares, but only three percent. The majority of shareholders have already voted in agreement, so..." Zhuo Yang felt inexplicably guilty under her gaze.

  "Is that so!" Gu Huazhuo smiled lightly, "This is the ticket to pass, hold a shareholders' meeting, didn't even notify me, our voting result, can be said to be quite fair."

  The people below laughed and jeered.

  "I know you're not satisfied with Uncle's decision, but that's the situation now. Let's talk about it privately." Gu Ze Kai's tone remained calm.

  "But I don't want to talk privately, a big man like you and a weak woman like me talking privately, what if you bully me? Her tone was light, but she was secretly ridiculing Gu Ze Kai for bullying her."

  "Take a deep breath, if you want to come and observe the ceremony, I welcome it very much. Let someone arrange a seat for you immediately. You are Uncle's dear daughter, whatever you want to do in the future, Gu's family will still support you, and the year-end dividend will not be less by a single cent."

  "Hmm——" Gu Huajiao gripped the microphone tightly, "What if I'm not here to attend the ceremony?"

  "If you're here to cause trouble, even if you're my uncle's daughter, I..."

  "Miss, the files are all here, you'd better not...". Zhuo Yang stepped out to mediate, after all, the two of them arguing would only make things worse.

  "Almost forgot, we have a lawyer, I do too!" Gu Huazhu snapped his fingers, and a middle-aged man in a suit walked out of the crowd, carrying a briefcase, looking so stern that it made people feel tense. "Let me introduce you to everyone, this is my lawyer, Lawyer Wang."

  Wang lawyer walked directly onto the podium, opened his briefcase, pulled out a document from inside and handed it directly to Gu Zeke.

  A share transfer deed.

  "There may be something that everyone is not aware of. When Mr. Gu was starting his company, he was married to his ex-wife, Wang Yuhan. To take care of his wife, Ms. Wang helped him a lot when his business was most difficult. So on their first wedding anniversary, when Ms. Wang was pregnant, Mr. Gu transferred 60% of his shares to her."

  Gu Ze Kai flipped through the files, while Zhuo Yang directly walked over to verify their authenticity.

  This is a document from 26 years ago, yellowed and dated back to the nineties.

  "At that time, the two had a good relationship and the agreement was drafted. Although Mrs. Wang did not sign it, Mr. Gu promised in the appendix to the agreement that this agreement would be effective for life, regardless of any changes to his shares. And yesterday, when Mrs. Wang signed the document, it meant that 60% of the shares belonging to Mr. Gu had already belonged to her at that moment."

  Gu Ze Kai clenched his documents and looked up at Gu Hua Zhuo.

  Mr. Wang took out another document from his bag, "This is the statement signed by Mrs. Wan this morning to transfer her shares to Miss Gu Huazhuo, which has been notarized and is a legally effective document."

  "But he has already transferred the shares to General Gu, and... " Zhuo Yang's mouth was mumbling, his words a bit incoherent.

  "There is no but, however, Mr. Gu indeed has sixty percent of the shares which now belong to my client."

  Gu Huazhe gazed at Gu Zekei's iron-green face, stifling a smile. She had known about this when her parents got divorced.

  Gu Xuerong wanted Wang Yuheng to sign the agreement at that time, and she said bluntly that from then on everything would belong to Gu Huachao. Whether or not he signed didn't make much difference, as the shares were in Gu Xuerong's hands, and his position in the company was stable, which made it more convenient for him to supervise the company. After that, this matter was never brought up again.

  "How can there be such a thing!" Zhuo Yang was so angry he wanted to tear up the document.

  "This document is legally binding. If you dare to tear or destroy it, I will sue you for destroying important documents and infringing on my client's personal rights."

  Zhuo Yang's face turned pale, as a lawyer, he naturally understood the weight of his words.

  "Since you have no opinions on the documents we provided, I will now defend my client's rights." Lawyer Wang took out another stack of files, about an inch thick.

  "Firstly, my client as a shareholder of the company was excluded from the shareholders' meeting, which seriously infringed upon my client's personal interests."

  "Moreover, the company underwent a huge personnel change, but no one notified the person involved, infringing on her right to know."

  "Moreover, my client is now the largest shareholder of Gu's company and has every right to convene a board meeting and compete with Mr. Gu Zekai for the company's executive power. This is my client's legitimate right, and you have no right to interfere."

  "During this time, if they make verbal threats or even physical contact with my client, I will take legal action..."

  Everyone was still in shock, and this lawyer suddenly spoke a lot.

  Forceful and overbearing, he pressed them hard, with every word a pearl, almost forcing Gu Ze Kai and his party into a corner. Every sentence had a legal basis, the logic was clear, and in the end, he even made Gu Ze Kai compensate Gu Hua for all the losses she had suffered because of him during this period.

  A total of 12,815,132 yuan and 2 jiao!

  Then he slapped a file as thick as a finger directly in front of Gu Zeke!

  Everyone was quietly waiting for Gu Ze Kai's next move. This kind of public humiliation is quite painful.

  Especially for someone like him with such a strong sense of self-respect.

  Just as Gu Ze Kai was about to speak, Yang Huiru suddenly rushed out from backstage.

  "Gu Huazhuo, you mother and daughter shouldn't be too arrogant! This document of over 20 years, who are you trying to deceive with it?!" She snatched the document from Gu Zeke's hand and tore it up in a few quick movements.

  "Both the notary office and our law firm have records, you can check at your convenience!" The lawyer waved his hand dismissively, clearly too lazy to bother with Yang Huiru.

  Yang Huiru ripped off the mask on her face, yesterday was slapped by Wang Yuhuan, half of her face was swollen, it's still swollen now, and has turned a deep purple color, really frightening.

  Gus Huazuo's tongue was burnt.

  Mom's hand is too heavy.

  "Stop bullying people!" Yang Huiru pointed at her own face, "Now I'll let everyone see who hit my face!"

  Everyone's eyes were on Gu Hua Zuo.

  "Why didn't you say so? Why did others hit?"

  Yang Huiru pointed at her own face with her hand, "I was beaten by someone, can she still be reasonable?"

  "After all, there are some people in this world who just ask for a beating!"

  Everyone burst out laughing, and Gu Huazhuo actually dared to say it!

  "Gu Ze Kai took a deep breath, 'Gu Hua Zhuo, mind your words, don't be too excessive.'"

  "My mom hit me and now she's coming after my son's company, this mother-daughter duo is simply shameless!"

  "I finally understand what it means to be shameless. If someone has no face, they are invincible! The son's company? What a joke! This company is surnamed Gu, but the two of them don't even qualify as members of the Gu family!" Gu Huazhuo sneered, "Just changing one's surname doesn't make one a member of the Gu family."

  "It's clear as black and white, this company belongs to Zeke!"

  "Now I am a shareholder of the company, in theory, I have the right to compete for this position, and even have the right to dismiss my son!"

  "You cheap little thing!..." Yang Huiru was so angry that she raised her hand to hit her.

  "So many people are watching, touch me and I'll accuse you of intentional injury. I think he should be very happy to go in and accompany that fiancée!" Gu Huazhuo sneered.

  Yang Huiru angrily put down her hand.

  "Now that this document is out, we can go back to the company and discuss it slowly." Gu Ze Kai knew that entangling with her here would only end in his own embarrassment.

  From the moment Gu Hua Zuo came out, he was already very embarrassed.

  Someone had been sent to block her at the entrance, but she still managed to get in, a miscalculation.

  "Zekai, how can you...". The company that was finally obtained with great difficulty, as soon as Gu Zekai gave in, Yang Huiru would not agree.

  "Mom, let's talk about it when we get back." Gu Ze Kai didn't want to continue losing face in front of so many people.

  "No way, anyway everyone is here, let's just let everyone see the true face of this little villain, and see how she dares to be arrogant in front of me!" Yang Huiru shook off Gu Zekai's hand that was about to pull her back, and directly snatched the microphone from in front of him.

  "Everyone listen up, I miscarried back then because of Gu Huai's doing. She was so vicious and cruel even at a young age. In order to prevent anyone from competing with her for property, she knew my pregnancy was unstable but still repeatedly argued with me, causing me to ultimately miscarry the already formed child."

  "Mom, didn't we agree not to mention this again?" Gu Ze Kai frowned.

  "Why can't I say it? I just want everyone to know how vicious this woman has been since she was a child, and she won't even spare her own brother."

  The crowd was shocked by the twists and turns of this press conference, taking in several gasps.

  "Gu Huazai is a murderer, no wonder his own child died..."

  Yang Huiru hadn't finished speaking when Gu Huazhuo suddenly flung his hand, and the microphone in his hand flew out directly. The microphone cord "slapped" against Yang Huiru's face, touching her wound, causing her to grit her teeth in pain.

  "Gu Hua Zhuo, what do you want to do now?!" Gu Ze Kai hurriedly protected Yang Hui Ru, "Uncle has been very kind to me, I've always been unwilling to oppose him. That matter was something I didn't even want Mother to mention, but don't bully people too much."

  "Who did I bully?!"

  "This murderer still dares not to confess!" Yang Huiru's sharp fingernails pointed directly at Gu Huazhuo.

  "Don't be deceived by her appearance, she's ruthless in fighting for property and won't even spare her own brother. What else can't she do? These documents are definitely forged, I've never heard Rong mention transferring shares to Yuhan Wang!"

  "You're really funny, who are you? Which onion is counting, is it our family's person? The household registration is not even in Gu's house. My dad doesn't even touch it once. Why do you want to talk about this kind of thing? I've never heard my dad say he wants to give shares to my mom, but I have heard him say he wants to give shares to his son!"

  "He's just a murderer, what right does he have to be here!" Yang Huiru knew she couldn't outtalk her, so she could only grit her teeth and insist on this matter.

  The people below have started whispering among themselves, discussing nothing but Gu Hua's moral character.

  "Chief Editor, she can't be saying that..." Jiang Shi's face was full of gossip as he leaned in close to Meng Yu Feng.

  Meng Yu Feng glanced at her lightly and said, "You're talking too much!"

  "Oh!" Jiang Shiyu sulkily shut her mouth.

  "Miss Gu, you wouldn't have really killed your own brother, would you..." a reporter couldn't help but ask.

  "Yes, Miss Gu, say something!"

  "Then..."

  Gu Huazhu raised an eyebrow and said, "Regarding this point, I have a recording here that I hope everyone can listen to."

  She pulled out a recorder from her pocket.

  "This is what I recorded when I went to the police station for assistance a few days ago and met an acquaintance. Everyone can take a listen!"

  Everyone fell silent and held their breath.

  "I heard you wanted to see me, is there something going on?" Gu Huazhuo's voice.

  "Something's happened at our house." The woman's voice was hoarse and worn out, but someone had already recognized it as Su Momo.

  "Inside, the news is still so smooth."

  "Gu Ze Kai has looked for me."

  "He's her fiancé, isn't it normal for him to visit?"

  "I know that as the mastermind, I won't get a light sentence for kidnapping. I hope you can help me out in court and put in a good word for me in front of the judge."

  "What's on your mind, Su? Want me to help?"

  "In exchange, I'll tell you a secret."

  "What?"

  "Should be very interested in Gu Ze-kai."

  "Let me think about it for a moment."

  "Brother killed his own brother..."

  "Is it said that Yang Huiru's child back then was..."

  Everyone was confused by the performance, but in fact, it was Gu Canrong's biological daughter. The company had a share of this, and if things were exposed, they might not have gotten a single penny. That child was so young, there were many ways to control him, and it was not necessary to take action against him.

  "But he's different, once this kid is born, it means he's already been knocked out of the competition early on, get it?"

  "Is there evidence?"

  "Yang Huiru's hospital record says she was stimulated, but actually there is another reason, she ate something she shouldn't have. The evidence is with my mother, as long as you agree to help me plead for leniency, I'll tell!"

  "He is her fiancé, how could..."

  "He won't let me have a good time, and I won't let him have one either, that's all!"

  "They're really..."

  "I've been cautious my whole life, when I set my sights on him, I investigated everything about him thoroughly. I have all the dirt on him right here, it's to avoid problems in the future. So I collected all these things for him, he loves me and I'll help him clear away any obstacles... but..."

  The recording stopped abruptly here.

  "Yang Huiru, hospital proof, I have it here, want to see?"

  Yang Huiru's legs went soft, "Brother killed younger brother, impossible, how could brother kill younger brother..."

  "Mom, don't listen to her..." Gu Ze Kai didn't expect Su Momo to bite back at him, his usually calm face couldn't hold it together, and a crack appeared.

  "Slap—" Yang Huiru grabbed Gu Zekai and slapped him, "He's your own brother, how dare you lay a hand on him, are you crazy?!"

  Digression

  Actually, neither Su Mo nor Gu Ze Kai are good people. I guess Gu Ze Kai didn't expect that the person who would give him a fatal blow in the end would be Su Mo. Tsk tsk, he really had it coming!
