Chapter 413: Chapter 414, Can He Find a Place to Apply for a Replacement Son-in-law?
Ye Xingbei:
Don’t think that because it rhymes, I will believe there’s actually such a song.
Ye Xingli:
It’s a pity that damage doesn’t need to be verified, otherwise Fifth Lord of Gu would surely have maxed out his level!
The siblings looked at each other in mutual silence.
Only after a long moment did Ye Xingli cough to break the silence, “Uh… Fifth Brother, this isn’t a place for a conversation, we should go somewhere quiet to talk.”
“No need,” Gu Junzhu glanced at Jee Xiu, “I’m having dinner with my wife. I don’t like the light bulb being too bright. You guys can do as you wish, matters can be discussed later.”
He politely nodded at Jee Xiu, as if to say hello, then leisurely left with Ye Xingbei.
Ye Xingli:
Could he find a place to apply for a brother-in-law exchange?
He’ll definitely choke to death one day from having such a brother-in-law!
Damn it!
Ye Xingbei, lead away by Gu Junzhu, was still in shock, constantly looking back, worried about Ye Xingli.
Gu Junzhu was seated comfortably, “Xiao Li’s bodyguards should be changed. They’re not vigilant enough. You already rushed over, yet those two idiots haven’t left the hall. Thanks to the good public security at home, the difficulty of hiring a murderer is high, otherwise, who knows how many times Ye Xingli would have died.”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Ye Xingbei glared at him, “How can my Brother Li have such a poor relationship with others? How could so many people want to kill him?”
“Wrong!” Gu Junzhu swung a finger, “There would be many people who want to kill him. For instance, love rivals, competitors, people unintentionally offended, etc. It’s just that the cost of murder is too high and too risky, they just don’t dare. If there was no punishment for murder, those who would want his life could line up from the south to the north of the city!”
“I don’t believe it!” Ye Xingbei sneered, “My Brother Li has not offended that many, you’re talking about yourself, aren’t you?”
She had never seen anyone with a sharper tongue than the Fifth Lord of Gu.
With the Fifth Lord of Gu’s mouth, if there was no punishment for murder, those who wanted to kill Fifth Lord of Gu would definitely line up from the south to the north of the city and could even line up back!
“You don’t understand,” Gu Junzhu shook his head, with an air of patience that good-tempered people have when dealing with women without much experience, “The Star Palace has blocked many people’s path to money. There are many who want to usurp it. If there were no punishment for murder, there would be countless people wanting Ye Xingli and Ye Xinglan’s lives!”
“Of course, what I said is only theoretical. Our nation’s public security is so good and the difficulty of hiring a murderer so high, that we’re mostly safe unless we encounter someone as deranged as Leng Peini.”
“So, the focus of my words is that Ye Xingli’s personal bodyguards should be changed, not that Ye Xingli attracts hatred. You missed the point!”
Ye Xingbei:
Every time she talks to Fifth Lord of Gu, she finds herself drained.
She said weakly, “Zhen Qi and Zhen Chu were personally trained by Brother Li’s grandfather for Brother Li. My grandfather had asked a master to do a reading for Brother Li and said he lacks water in his Bazi. Zhen Qi and Zhen Chu have water in their Bazi, which benefits Brother Li. They have been with Brother Li for more than ten years. They are loyal to Brother Li and there’s no way they can be replaced.”
“And also, the reason Zhen Qi and Zhen Chu couldn’t get there in time wasn’t their fault. It’s all because of Brother Li. He doesn’t like people following him around, so he always makes Zhen Qi and Zhen Chu stay a hundred meters away.”
“With such a distance between them, even if Zhen Qi and Zhen Chu could fly, they still wouldn’t make it in time, right?”
“Hmm,” Gu Junzhu nodded, “So that’s why I said….”
