Chapter 367: Why Don't You Go Rob Instead?
Chapter 367: Why Don't You Go Rob Instead?
Just then, footsteps echoed from behind.
Gu Changkong, without moving, placed the human skin mask back on.
He turned around.
Yang Chun arrived with two others in tow.
Seeing the corpse on the ground, the trio's eyes were filled with both shock and fear.
"What's the situation?"
Gu Changkong asked.
"Two people were killed, and the Mind Masters' psychic weapons were also destroyed. Aside from that, there's some damage to the walls," Yang Chun hastily replied.
Gu Changkong nodded, "For the damaged psychic weapons, I'll compensate you at their original price. As for the two who were killed, I'll go with you later to give their families a pension."
"Yes, Director," Yang Chun nodded.
The two behind him also heaved a slight sigh of relief.
Gu Changkong turned and looked at Jiang Cheng, "I'm sorry, but I can only trouble you to switch to another alchemy chamber. I'll do my best to explain this matter to you."
"It's fine, Big Brother Gu," Jiang Cheng smiled.
He understood Gu Changkong's predicament.
Even if they caught the culprit, what then? The other party just needed to deny it, after all, there was no one to testify.
Even if they took a step back and had evidence, what could Gu Changkong do to that person?
The group quickly left, leaving only Gu Changkong and the corpse behind.
Gu Changkong took out his phone and called Gu Changjun.
The latter was eating at that moment. Hearing his phone ring, he was initially pleased, thinking it was Huang Xing with good news, but upon seeing the caller, he was disappointed.
Not only disappointed, but also angry.
He remembered how, just a couple of days ago, Huang Xing had hung up on him without a care, making him feel humiliated!
Now Huang Xing was calling him...
Gu Changjun coldly laughed and hung up, thinking, let him taste the same treatment, a closed-door rejection.
Gu Changkong was startled.
His eyebrows furrowed, but he called again.
Gu Changjun hung up again, a smug look on his face.
Gu Changkong took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.
After living in the Gu family for so long, he knew that anger only led to impulsiveness. To solve problems, one must eliminate emotional interference.
He removed the mask from the corpse's face, took a photo of Huang Xing, and sent it.
He added a message.
"You don't want your good deed to be known by Father and others in the family, do you?"
"Can't get through on the phone, so you're sending messages now?"
Hearing the message received notification, Gu Changjun felt even more smug.
But when he opened the message and saw the pale face on the ground, he was shocked.
"How could this be?"
His head buzzed.
Did Huang lose control? Did he fall into Gu Changkong's hands?
No, that can't be!
The photo, it seems, it seems, he's... dead?
Gu Changjun's eyes showed panic, and upon seeing the message below, his body trembled uncontrollably.
How could this be? How could this be?
But Huang is a Grandmaster! Even if he lost control, he shouldn't have been killed by Gu Changkong.
Just then, the phone rang again.
After hesitating for a moment, Gu Changjun answered.
"You're taking my call now?"
Gu Changkong's cold voice echoed.
"Huang, what's Huang doing there? What happened to him?" Gu Changjun swallowed, trying to stay calm.
"How did he end up here? Don't you know what's going on in your heart?" Gu Changkong asked in return.
"How would I know?"
Gu Changjun's voice hardened, "I haven't seen him since last night, and I was still looking for him today."
"Is that so?"
Gu Changkong gave a cold laugh, "Just now, he barged into the alchemy chamber, killed several people here, and then headed straight for Jiang Cheng. If I hadn't arrived in time, Jiang Cheng would've died at his hands too. Fifth Brother, do you dare say you didn't know about this?"
"Of course I didn't know," Gu Changjun replied without hesitation.
He wasn't a fool; he was well-versed in the survival rules of a large family, and the most important one was to shift the blame.
"Oh, so you didn't know," Gu Changkong said, not surprised.
"Since that's the case, I'll just report this matter to Father and the rest of the family. After all, this has nothing to do with you, right?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Changjun's expression changed.
He wasn't afraid of the news getting out, but that didn't mean he wanted it to spread.
After all, once it did, a scolding from his father was inevitable, and he might even be confined for a period.
The impact on his reputation would be even greater.
His eldest brother would surely relish seeing him humiliated.
"You, what do you want?"
He asked.
At this moment, he finally realized the situation.
Gu Changkong could have immediately reported this to the family, but he didn't. Instead, he called Gu Changjun, obviously intending to discuss the matter.
If they could talk, that would be better.
Gu Changkong no longer beat around the bush, stating directly, "It's simple. As long as you agree to my conditions, I'll consider this matter settled."
"Several conditions? No way!"
Gu Changjun bargained, "That's too much. I can agree to one request at most."
"If there's nothing to discuss, I'll report this to Father," Gu Changkong thought to himself with a cold smile.
This kid, wanting to challenge him, was still too green.
Sure enough.
Upon hearing this, Gu Changjun's tone softened.
"It's not that several requests are impossible, but you must make them clear. I won't agree to anything unreasonable, and I'm not afraid of you telling Father because this has nothing to do with me."
"Okay."
Gu Changkong paused, then said, "The first request is that from now on, you're not allowed to send people to cause trouble for us, and you definitely can't send assassins after Jiang Cheng."
"No problem."
Gu Changjun readily agreed and even complained, "Third Brother, this has nothing to do with me. I didn't even know Huang Xing went to you today and attacked your people."
"Is that so?"
Gu Changkong didn't dwell on the topic and quickly continued with the next request.
"Huang Xing is your man, and the losses he caused us should be borne by you. Two people died here, and you must compensate their families. Some psychic weapons were also damaged by him, and you must make reparations."
"Damn, I have to clean up after his mess," Gu Changjun muttered.
"How much?"
"One hundred million," Gu Changkong stated a figure.
"What? That much!" Gu Changjun exclaimed, his mouth agape.
"Third Brother, you're not joking with me, are you? Just two deaths and some junk, and you want a hundred million? Why don't you go rob a bank?"
