Gu Jingze said, "So, dont think about touching a strand of her hair today."
"Hes rebelling, hes 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. Were 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 shouldnt pressure her in front of so many people. Im with Lin Che. You guys cant think that shes 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 dont let us interrogate her, you guys are unfilial. Filial piety is what we should respect the most. You guys actually dont care about your grandfathers death just to protect a woman. We wont 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, lets go."
He grabbed Lin Ches hand and refused to let go. He faced the exit. "I just want to see who dares to stand in my way while Im 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 heads 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 dont you take a good look in the mirror? None of you have a say in my grandfathers death at all."
Everyone looked stunned.
According to logic, they were all distant relatives. Indeed, when a persons 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, "Im sorry about today, An Lan. Some domestic issue cropped up and I cant 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."
