Chapter Eighty-Seven: Compromise

Gu Shaoting's hand looked at the information for a moment, and his eyes were slightly cold. Zhou Yong was afraid that he would be impulsive again, so he hurriedly spoke, "Second master, I'm afraid this matter will have to be discussed in the long run." ”

Hearing this, Gu Shaoting glanced up at Zhou Yong, and said quietly, "Continue to send people to keep an eye on it, and report to me at any time if there is any situation." ”

Zhou Yong breathed a sigh of relief and immediately replied, "Yes, the second master can rest assured." ”

Gu Shaoting looked down at the information in his hand again, and asked casually, "I heard that the old man is coming over tomorrow?" Zhou Yong was stunned, so he had to reply truthfully, "The general's trip tomorrow is indeed to come to Gu Yuan to see you......"

Gu Shaoting snapped the information in his hand and closed it, turned around and threw it on the desk, he looked at the night outside the window and sneered, "It's just right, I want to meet him too." ”

At noon on the second day, the doctor came to change the dressing for Gu Shaoting as usual, but it has been mostly rainy days recently, and the wound healing has to be slower. The doctor was afraid of a second infection of the wound, so he cleaned and changed the dressing more frequently than before.

Fortunately, Gu Shaoting's own physique is not bad, and the experience of injury in previous years has caused his muscle recovery ability to be much faster than ordinary people. So after the wound scabbed, he was able to move freely.

The doctor changed the medicine and gave a few words of advice every day before leaving with the medicine box.

Gu Shaoting got dressed, and before he had buttoned all the buttons, Gu Wei had already pushed the door in. He glanced at the gauze on Gu Shaoting's chest, and his face instantly became cold.

Gu Shaoting unhurriedly sorted out his clothes before getting up and walking towards Gu Wei, "When does my father plan to withdraw Gu Yuan's soldiers?" Gu Wei snorted coldly, and sat on the sofa with an ink-colored cane, with a stern expression, "Wait until you don't plan to do foolish things again." ”

Gu Shaoting poured himself a glass of water, the hand holding the water cup clenched slightly, and he calmed down for a moment before turning to look at him, and his tone was low, "Father's so-called foolish thing is to save his fiancΓ©e who has just been engaged?"

Gu Wei immediately burst out of anger when he heard the words of his fiancΓ©e, "Yes! Just for a woman, the Gu family's face has been lost to you!"

Gu Shaoting held the water glass but suddenly laughed, "My father's affairs over the years are probably more interesting than my mere woman." He looked at Gu Wei's eyes that were instantly angry, and his eyes became colder and colder, "When did my father care about the word face......

"You!" Gu Wei was so angry that he raised his crutches and pointed at him, and scolded sharply, "Bastard!"

Gu Shaoting's expression was indifferent, and he walked straight to the back of the desk and sat down, saying nothing with a cold face, without showing any signs of weakness.

Gu Wei's face was also full of anger, he sat on the sofa and clenched his crutches, forcing himself to calm down, and after a while, he said, "That's it...... We don't care about her for now. As he spoke, he looked up at Gu Shaoting, and his tone suddenly softened, "I came today because I have more important things to talk to you about." ”

Gu Shaoting immediately looked at Gu Wei after hearing this, his eyes were slightly surprised.

Gu Wei noticed his gaze, frowned slightly, and continued in a deep voice, "You must also know the recent situation in Guangdong, the north and south sides have not been peaceful recently. Two days ago, a secret letter came from Guangdong, in which it mentioned that the commander-in-chief of the military and political affairs, who held real power, was critically ill and estimated that there was not much time left......"

Gu Shaoting's heart sank instantly when he heard this, Guangdong has been in civil war recently, and the ambitions of the generals of all parties are only a layer of window paper. If this news spreads again, I'm afraid that it will ......

"Our Gu family is now under attack, and it is a critical juncture. Although Shanghai will not be affected by the war in the short term, the Li family has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and we must not be on guard. Gu Wei got up and paced slowly two steps as he spoke, his expression seemed thoughtful.

Gu Shaoting already understood the seriousness of the matter, so he looked up at Gu Wei and asked with a serious expression, "Father already has a plan?"

When Gu Wei heard this, he turned around and stared at him for a while, and said slowly, "Tomorrow, Chairman Feng of Beiping will come to Shanghai for a military meeting, and once there is a chaotic war on the Guangdong side, Beiping will take over......" He took two more steps towards Gu Shaoting, as if trying to convince him, "So Chairman Feng is our most ideal candidate." ”

"Chairman Feng?" Gu Shaoting frowned, he seemed to have heard Song Boyuan mention this person, he couldn't remember the specifics, he only remembered that Youlin had said that this was a self-made person.

Gu Wei saw that Gu Shaoting didn't seem to have any opinion, so he continued, "I have been in contact with him before, and he admires you very much, and he even mentioned that he wants a son-in-law like you. ”

Gu Shaoting frowned when he heard this, but Gu Wei's words did not stop, "Tomorrow he will be with his favorite second daughter...... Do you understand what I mean?"

Gu Shaoting fully understood what he meant, he raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes were already cold, "Does my father think I will agree?"

Gu Wei's attitude was tougher, "I have a way to get you to agree." He said coldly, "Don't forget, the subordinates you sent to the Li family's private mansion are not the only ones who obey your orders......

Gu Shaoting immediately slapped the table and stood up, his voice was very deep, "If you dare to touch her, I guarantee that you will regret it." ”

Gu Wei saw him like this, and showed an inevitable smile, "I just want you to see this clearly, whether it is a battlefield or a shopping mall, once you expose your weakness, you will always be controlled by others." ”

Gu Shaoting slowly clenched the hand on the table, Gu Wei glanced at him, turned around and walked towards the door.

"Think it through yourself. ”

After dusk, the sky suddenly cleared. The crimson sunset reflected half of the sky, sweeping away the haze of the day, and the trees in Gu Yuan seemed to add a little more vitality.

Zhou Yong pushed open the door of the study, walked in and saluted dignifiedly, "Second master." Gu Shaoting looked up at him from behind the desk, "But what's the movement?"

Zhou Yong shook his head in silence.

Gu Shaoting leaned back heavily on the back of the chair when he heard this, and after a while, he found that Zhou Yong was still standing in place. Gu Shaoting asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Yong's eyes looked down, hesitated for a while, and finally said what was in his heart, "Zhou Yong thinks that the general's proposal is not impossible. ”

Gu Shaoting looked at him quietly, and suddenly sneered, "When my private affairs are going to be asked by you." ”

Zhou Yong knew that he was angry, but he still insisted on saying, "Zhou Yong has followed the second master for so many years, and he knows that the second master has always focused on the overall situation, and now the Gu family is in danger. And Miss Su's side, there is no danger for the time being......"

Gu Shaoting raised his hand and stopped Zhou Yong from continuing.

The bright light outside the window was a little harsh, and he raised his hand and pinched the corners of his eyes, his voice full of exhaustion.

"Let's get out. ”
