Many villas stood at the most luxurious real estate area of Beijing. Only the rich and powerful could afford to live here.
In the middle of this district, there was a mansion that occupied the biggest space. There were tall trees that lined the path that led to the main building.
The building had traditional Chinese architecture. It maintained the elegance, simplicity, and rich artistic style of traditional Chinese architecture.
At the same time, it took a lot of inspiration from nature. It had a simplistic courtyard design and a watering system that provided a misty forest look. It made the place feel so mysterious yet imposing.
At that moment, inside the house, a stern man asked a middle-aged man anxiously, “Doctor Huang, how is my grandfather?”
Doctor Huang answered, “Young Master, the elder’s condition has passed the critical period. As you know, the elder was shot near the heart. It’s too dangerous to attempt to extricate the bullet. The elder has to watch his emotions, and his body will hopefully recuperate on its own.”
Gong Tianhao nodded. “I understand.”
Doctor Huang suggested, “Therefore, Young Master, I suggest sending the elder to a place where he can focus on his healing.” At this point, he sighed. “The elder is in the 80s. He can’t suffer too much pressure. If this happens again, even God can’t save him.”
Gong Tianhao’s expression turned cold. He said, “I was careless this time. I will not let anyone come disturb grandfather again!”
Doctor Huang nodded. “Young Master, I hope you’re right. I’ll return to prescribe some medicine for the elder. Make sure he takes them after he wakes up.”
Grandfather Gong Zhen was a war veteran, but now he was an old man who was afraid of taking bitter medicine. He had come up with all kinds of strange tricks in order to avoid taking the medicine. One time, he even rolled on the ground, crying for mercy. This was a headache for the Gong family.
Gong Tianhao nodded. “Yes. I will supervise grandfather to make sure he takes his medicine.”
“Okay then. Young Master, I’ll leave first.” Doctor Huang nodded.
After Doctor Huang left, Gong Tianhao’s expression changed. It was extremely cold and terrifying. He immediately called for the butler and had him summon all the servants and bodyguards of the Gong family.
The butler obliged. When everyone was gathered, the butler said, “Young Master, everyone is here.”
Gong Tianhao nodded. Then, he swept his sharp across the sixty members of staff. “From now on, no one is allowed to disturb the old master’s rest! Remember, no one is given an exception! If I discover someone has broken the rules, there will be consequences!”
“Yes, Young Master!” All the servants and bodyguards replied in unison.
“Alright, leave!” Gong Tianhao said.
After everyone left, the butler turned to Gong Tianhao with shame. “Young Master, I’m sorry. This is my fault for letting the Second Old Master and the others in.”
Second Old Master was Gong Tianhao’s grandfather’s second younger brother, Gong Qi!
Gong Tianhao glared at the butler. “Butler, I will forgive you this time because you have served grandfather for thirty years. If there’s a next time, don’t blame me for being ruthless. Nothing is more important than grandfather’s safety!”
The butler’s expression changed slightly, and then his expression became very serious as he promised, “Young Master, there won’t be a next time.”
The butler was soft-hearted. Gong Qi and the others said they only wanted to visit the old master. However, the butler didn’t expect them to have an ulterior motive.
They wanted to intervene in the Young Master’s marriage. They wanted Young Master to marry the niece of Second Old Master’s eldest daughter-in-law. The Old Master was against it, and they argued. In Beijing, everyone knew that the Young Miss of the Bai Family, Bai Xue was a promiscuous woman. She had a messy private life. How could such a woman be good enough for the Young Master? These people must be crazy!
However, the butler knew their goal. They wanted to pull the woman in to control the Gong family, to secure more wealth. They should look at themselves in the mirror first!
The butler thought for a moment and said, “Young Master, the Bai family wants to interfere with your marriage.”
Gong Tianhao snorted and said, “It looks like they’re too free. In that case, we’ll find something for them to do!”
‘These people sure are ambitious. But they should take a look at themselves first before taking more than they can chew!’
The butler’s lips curled, and his expression relaxed. His gaze darkened as he said, “Young Master. Since they have started this, we don’t need to show mercy!”
The Bai family was a small family who managed to rise to the top thanks to the marriage to the Gong Family. It was one thing that they weren’t appreciative of the kindness. However, they wanted more and more. They attempted to steal everything from the Gong family.
Gong Tianhao’s eyes were as deep as black rocks. His cold voice rang out. “Since they want death, then we’ll give it to them.”
The second day, the Bai family suffered a huge blow. Bai Group’s share fell endlessly. In less than half a day, they reached their record low.
Most of the shareholders had to sell their shares to save their lives. However, the share price was still falling.
The Bai family was anxious, and the members blamed each other.
“We have to go and beg Gong Tianhao to let us off,” the head of the Bai family, Bai Shixing, said decisively. This was clearly Gong Tianhao’s revenge. He didn’t even cover his tracks. Since this was Gong Tianhao’s doing, no one dared to help the Bai family. They were afraid of getting into trouble too.
“Dad, what is happening? Why is Gong Tianhao suddenly coming after us?” Bai Zirui, Bai Shixing’s youngest son, asked. Then, he thought of something and asked sharply, “Is it our Aunt? Did she do something to make Gong Tianhao angry?”
Bai Shixing’s expression froze.
Bai Zirui got his answer. He was furious. “Dad, that meddling woman has married out of the family. Why is she still meddling in the Bai family affairs?” Bai Zirui demanded, “Dad, what has that meddling woman done this time?”
Bai Shixing opened his mouth and lectured, “Stop calling her that. She is still your aunt!”
But then, his presence weakened and he sighed. “Your aunt has been trying to marry Xiao Xue to Gong Tianhao, so she went to find the Old Master Gong to force the match. In the end…” She caused the old master’s condition to worsen.
He didn’t finish the sentence but everyone knew what happened.
Everyone was silent for a moment before they erupted in anger.
“Fuck, so this is really that meddling woman’s fault!” Bai Zirui was furious.
