Chapter 462: Chapter 463 – Discussing Brainwashing, He is the World’s Number One
Yet in the end, not only was Xiang Jiechao ungrateful, but after discovering the truth, he decided to murder Xiao Yue, annihilate his body, and bury the secret once and for all.
He was utterly heartless and ungrateful!
He had cared for him for so many years, doted on him for so many years, and in the end, he nurtured something that was no better than a beast!
Gu Junzhu simply came out and said, “My intention is to have Xiang Jiechao rot in jail for the rest of his life. Such a menace should be thrown in prison – it would be a public service.”
He had noticed early on, Senior Master Xiang had grown soft-hearted.
He had spoken about how Xiang Jiechao should be tried by law, but he had not taken any action. Instead, he had taken private steps to confine Xiang Jiechao. Seeing this, Gu Junzhu had understood.
After all, this was a son Senior Master Xiang had cherished for so many years. He didn’t have the heart to send Xiang Jiechao to prison.
When he met Gao Yulan, he had spoken tough words quite readily, but when it came to actually doing it, the old master was reluctant.
Senior Master Xiang was reluctant, but he wasn’t.
In his opinion, scum like Xiang Jiechao who became a ruthless and cold-hearted man that wouldn’t spare even an eight-year-old child, should be shot.
But both Lingyue and Xiao Shu hadn’t suffered much damage, so the death penalty probably isn’t applicable.
Since the death penalty isn’t applicable, he should make Xiang Jiechao’s life worse than death.
Xiang Jiechao had been the Young Master of the Xiang family for over forty years, living in luxury. If he were to be thrown in jail, they could make sure his fellow inmates treat him ‘well’.
For the rest of his life, living would be worse than death.
Senior Master Xiang’s lips trembled dangerously. The words to send Xiang Jiechao to prison had reached his lips numerous times, but he couldn’t utter them.
He was reluctant.
He really was.
Even if it were a matter of raising cats or dogs, feelings develop after a few years.
Moreover, Xiang Jiechao was raised as his most beloved biological son for over forty years.
In those forty years, he had viewed Xiang Jiechao as someone more important than his own life.
Even though the truth had come out and he knew that Xiang Jiechao was not his son, those many years of feeling couldn’t be easily discarded.
“Uncle Xiang,” Gu Junzhu looked at him and slowly said, “I understand your feelings for Xiang Jiechao, but you have to realize, if you ignore problems that should be dealt with now, you will face chaos later! If Xiang Jiechao could harm Xiao Yue once, he could do it again. Sending him to prison for life, taking away his chance to harm Xiao Yue, is much better than setting him free and waiting for him to get an opportunity to kill Xiao Yue… Uncle Xiang, what do you think?”
Thinking about the scene described by Gu Junzhu, Senior Master Xiang shuddered violently.
If Xiang Jiechao murdered Lingyue and then got caught, he would lose his son and grandson.
By sending Xiang Jiechao to prison, at least Xiang Jiechao would still be alive.
Senior Master Xiang clenched his teeth and finally made up his mind: “You’re right, let’s have Xiang Jiechao reflect in jail… I will arrange it right away.”
He summoned his confidant, instructing him to alert the authorities in Beijing to take Xiang Jiechao to the police station on charges of hiring a hitman for murder.
His confidant accepted the order and departed.
Gu Junzhu smiled satisfactorily.
He knew he was unmatched when it came to persuasion.
As long as he was given a chance to speak, he could definitely… um, persuade people!
Meanwhile, Ye Xingbei had packed up their things and had also helped the two children change their clothes.
Gu Junzhu went over and scooped Lingyue into his arms.
Lingyue was a little embarrassed, struggling, “Master, I’m okay now. I can walk by myself.”
