Chapter 1213 We Need An Answer From Her
Gu Jingze said, “So, don’t think about touching a strand of her hair today.”
“He’s rebelling, he’s rebelling...”
“Exactly. This is getting out of hand.”
“Lin Che is simply a jinx.”
Gu Jingze scoffed. “She is not a jinx in any way. I see that you guys insist on imposing this kind of sin on her. Will she no longer be a jinx if I let you take her away to be interrogated?”
The Gu family did conduct private interrogations from time to time.
Furthermore, some interrogation methods were ruthless.
The person being interrogated would sometimes come out half dead.
Gu Jingze would never allow them to take Lin Che away for interrogation. Considering the level of hatred they had for Lin Che, they would probably use the hard method on her.
Thus, he would fight against them all the way if he had to. He would not let them take Lin Che away.
“No. We’re not letting you take Lin Che away like that.” The clan relatives disagreed and protested.
Just then, the nonchalant Gu Jingyu could no longer watch from the sidelines. He stood behind and listened to what everyone said. He said, “I think that since nobody has evidence, everyone shouldn’t pressure her in front of so many people. I’m with Lin Che. You guys can’t think that she’s a murderer just because she was the last person who saw Grandfather. Not to mention, Grandfather had a heart attack. He was not murdered.”
Seeing that Gu Jingyu actually sided Lin Che, everyone looked at Lin Che hatefully. This woman was really a scourge.
The two Gu brothers have been bewitched by her.
A clan relative said, “Fine, fine. If you guys don’t let us interrogate her, you guys are unfilial. Filial piety is what we should respect the most. You guys actually don’t care about your grandfather’s death just to protect a woman. We won’t acknowledge a house head like that.”
“Exactly. Hand Lin Che over or leave your position as house head!”
Gu Jingze narrowed his eyes. “Lin Che, let’s go.”
He grabbed Lin Che’s hand and refused to let go. He faced the exit. “I just want to see who dares to stand in my way while I’m the head of the house. The Gu family guards, listen to my command. Whoever dares to come near me will be outcast!”
The guards outside listened to the house head’s orders.
“You guys...”
Everyone watched as Gu Jingze stubbornly refused to let go of Lin Che. He tugged Lin Che along and walked through the agitated crowd towards the exit.
Gu Jingyu followed behind. Once outside, he turned back and asked, “You call us unfilial? Why don’t you take a good look in the mirror? None of you have a say in my grandfather’s death at all.”
Everyone looked stunned.
According to logic, they were all distant relatives. Indeed, when a person’s grandfather died, that person had the right to make the decisions. However, they were not happy about it.
They definitely wanted to use this new surprise to create trouble.
Otherwise, with the only person supporting them gone just like that, how were they going to uphold their positions?
“Are you guys chasing us out of the Gu family?” A clan relative looked at Gu Jingyu and asked.
Gu Jingyu replied, “Hmph. You guys can leave the Gu family if you want to. Nobody is stopping you.”
“You...”
They were really hopping mad.
Outside, An Lan was not a Gu family member, so she could not go in just now. As she looked through the window now, she saw that there seemed to be a commotion.
She only saw many people huddled out in the yard. The strong guards of the Gu family surrounded these people. It looked like it was an emergency.
Mu Wanqing saw that An Lan was still here. She quickly said, “I’m sorry about today, An Lan. Some domestic issue cropped up and I can’t host you.”
An Lan said, “No, no. I know. Please go ahead and grieve. I should be leaving anyway. I was just waiting here to say hello to you before going.”
“Okay, okay. Go ahead, An Lan. I won’t see you off today.”
An Lan made her own deductions. Gu Jingze was so protective of Lin Che as they left. It must have been something to do with Lin Che.
Gu Jingze mobilized all his guards there so that the two of them could leave.
He left his people to tend to the troublemaking clan relatives and did not allow anyone to leave.
He sent Lin Che back before he returned to handle the situation.
He silenced all media reports and prepared for the funeral at the same time.
Quick as lightning, he soon had the entire Gu family under control.
This kind of man was really... very charming.
Too bad, he was already married.
But An Lan also discovered that Gu Jingyu was extraordinary as well.
Like two banded brothers, he also protected Lin Che just now and unceremoniously insulted the crowd. Watching from afar, his expression was stern and touching.
What was that all about? Did Gu Jingyu behave that way in order to protect Lin Che?
Why were they so protective of Lin Che? Was she some saint?
Lin Che reached home quickly.
Gu Jingyu was worried about her and quickly rushed over too.
Lin Che stood at the window and looked outside.
Gu Jingyu hesitated, then walked to her. “Don’t worry. Second Brother will not let anything happen to you.”
Lin Che replied, “I know. He will never let anything happen to me, but I’m worried that something will happen to him.”
Gu Jingyu chuckled. “No. Nobody has yet to hurt him. Nothing will happen.”
“That may be the case, but I can tell that the clan relatives are extremely volatile. They are very agitated.”
Gu Jingyu said, “That’s right. Because Grandpa had always been their pillar of strength and support, they rebelled against Second Brother because Grandpa was around. They believed that there was still hope. Now that Grandpa is suddenly gone, they are of course, worried. They are worried that if Second Brother assumes the position as house head, nobody will be able to stop him.”
Lin Che said, “Doesn’t that mean that they might indeed harm Gu Jingze?”
“But Second Brother would not allow himself to be compromised so easily.”
Lin Che stroked her chin, thinking about what just happened.
“Is Grandpa’s autopsy report out yet?”
“Yes. It was a heart attack.”
“Nothing else?”
“Nothing else.”
“Was it really an accident? It seems all too coincidental.”
“I hope it was an accident too, but everything is a possibility in the Gu family,” he said. “I’ll get someone to look into this.”
Lin Che said, “It’s okay. You guys don’t have to be so worried about me either. I’m just wondering why I was the last person to see Grandpa. I don’t think I said anything in particular to him that would trigger a heart attack. Furthermore, we could see that the medicine was just at the side. Why didn’t Grandpa take them?”
“Yeah. Grandpa may not be in good health, but he was still able to move. It definitely wasn’t so bad that he couldn’t take medicine.”
“If he took medicine, would it stop the attack from getting worse for certain?”
“There are no absolutes,” Gu Jingyu said. “But that medicine is better than anything else in the world. It was created from Second Brother’s research lab and it is more organic. Most of the time, it will be able to control the heart attack. Death will not occur in a short time, at the very least.”
