Chapter 122 – The White Moonlight is Forcibly Loved by the Substitute 20

Shuang Yu walked out of the villa. He spat out the cigarette from his mouth, stamped it out, and took out his phone. With a trembling hand, he sent the video he had just recorded.

Afterward, he removed his sweat-soaked gloves, tossed them into the trash can along with his phone and the syringe, and vanished into the darkness.

[Ding, Vicious Ghost’s Resentment -10. Current resentment: 55.]

Just before Shuang Yu had made his move, Lin Yan, who was in charge of finding the killer, had traced the perpetrator through the bullet casing.

He knocked on the door of Gu Huai’s study with a grave expression.

“President Gu, I’ve found a clue. The sniper rifle used by the assassin was a Ward W2000, which costs 600,000, with only 176 in existence worldwide.”

“I’ve checked the list of collectors. There are three in F Country, two of whom are Chu Shunkun and Cen Hong. It’s unlikely those two would have a grudge against the Second Young Master, and we have no enmity with them either…”

Gu Huai’s expression turned grim as he demanded, “Who is the other person!”

He was almost certain that this person was the killer!

Lin Yan fell silent for a long time before finally saying in a hoarse voice, “It’s the Eldest Young Master!”

Crash—

The wine glass in Gu Huai’s hand was crushed to pieces.

He never would have imagined that the person who killed his second son would be his favorite eldest son, Gu Yuanting!

Murdering his own brother and framing Xiao Yan—every single thing he did had perfectly stepped on Gu Huai’s last nerve.

If he could kill his brother today, would he commit patricide in the future?!

A sharp glint flashed through Gu Huai’s eyes.

“Have I been spoiling Xiao Ting too much?”

His voice was flat, yet it sent a chill down one’s spine.

Lin Yan kept his head down, hesitating for a long time before finally speaking.

“President Gu, this matter might not be related to the Eldest Young Master. He shouldn’t be foolish enough to use the Ward W2000 to commit murder, knowing full well that we could trace the gun’s origin…”

“Something from his collection was used by someone else. That is his negligence. How can I entrust the family to him if he’s so muddle-headed? Continue your investigation. Also, tell Xiao Ting and Xiao Yan to come see me.”

Soon, the two brothers met on a narrow path outside the study door.

“Big Brother.”

Gu Qiyan bowed slightly, naturally positioning himself behind him.

Gu Yuanting smiled and wrapped an arm around his shoulder. “We’re brothers, no need to be so distant. Let’s go in together.”

The two brothers entered the study and immediately noticed Gu Huai’s foul mood.

“Father, has something happened again?”

Gu Qiyan’s heart was in his throat as he asked cautiously.

“The sniper rifle that killed Xiao Feng was a Ward W2000…”

The moment Gu Huai spoke, Gu Yuanting’s heart sank. This is bad, he thought.

“Do you have anything to explain, Xiao Ting?”

“It absolutely wasn’t me, Father. The gun has always been in my bedroom and has never been moved. I wouldn’t be stupid enough to use that gun to kill my second brother. You have to believe me!”

Gu Yuanting retorted with an impassioned expression.

Gu Huai glanced at Lin Yan, who nodded and left the study. A short while later, he returned with the Ward W2000 that had been in the display case in Gu Yuanting’s room.

“Boss, two bullets are indeed missing. They match the batch number of the bullets that killed the Second Young Master, and they all have silver tips.”

Gu Yuanting’s face instantly turned deathly pale. He was unable to defend himself.

He couldn’t figure out how something only he had access to could have been used by someone else!

“Father, it really wasn’t me. Please, believe me this once…”

He fell to his knees with a thud, explaining with a pained expression.

“Only you have the key to your display case, and the surveillance footage confirms that no one took this gun out. Whether you did it or not, the fact that you gave someone the opportunity to frame you is your negligence.”

“You still need to be tempered, Xiao Ting. The situation in the Han Sea has been quite chaotic recently. Are you confident you can take it?” Gu Huai asked with a deep look in his eyes.

Hearing the name “Han Sea,” both of their faces changed drastically.

Gu Yuanting was furious at his father’s ruthlessness. Sending him to the Han Sea personally was a death sentence, wasn’t it?

Gu Qiyan was panicked. He was afraid his father had also set his sights on that coveted prize. If Xiao Yu and his brother were to cross paths, would they even stand a chance of survival?!

Yet he was unwilling to give up that prize so easily…

“Rest assured, Father. I will not disappoint you!”

Gu Yuanting gritted his teeth and said.

Danger and opportunity coexisted. If he could conquer the Han Sea and win back his father’s trust and favor, he would surely be able to take over the family.

“Xiao Ting, prepare yourself and head over as soon as possible. As for your current affairs, let Xiao Yan take over. I’m a little tired. You may all leave.”

Gu Huai closed his eyes to rest, waving a weary hand at them.

“Gu Qiyan, I really underestimated you… Don’t celebrate too early. I will take back what is mine, sooner or later.”

After leaving the study, Gu Yuanting spoke to Gu Qiyan in a cold voice.

The latter looked astonished and tried to explain, “Big Brother, this really has nothing to do with me…”

But the other man didn’t listen to his explanation at all, simply walking past him and leaving.

Beneath Gu Qiyan’s calm expression was a restless, pounding heart.

Although he didn’t know who was behind this, being able to clear Xiao Yu’s name and gain control of his brother’s territory was truly a stroke of luck!

Before he could even be excited for two seconds, his phone chimed.

It was a multimedia message from an unknown number.

He furrowed his brow and opened it. The next second, his pupils constricted violently, and he let out a low curse, “Damn it!”

The video showed ‘Si Shuang Yu’ and Meng Ying in bed together!

With bloodshot eyes and veins bulging on his forehead, Gu Qiyan rushed out the door like a whirlwind, heading for Meng Ying’s home.
