The Gu family never called Gu Yunting by his name, referring to him as "little beast." This "little beast" had already been disowned by the Gu family.
Gu Yunting didn't care about the Gu family's disownment; whether he was removed from their roster or not was irrelevant to him. He even found the people in the Gu family to be like laughable clowns.
The main reason he was able to suppress the Old Gu Corporation so smoothly was the lack of talent within the Gu family. Their company's management and operational methods were long outdated. Those people were self-important and insular, making no progress over the years, and unable to keep up with the times. Their elimination was only a matter of time.
Yet, they still attributed all these losses to Gu Yunting.
Seeing Gu Yunting arrive, Jiang Jingxiu grabbed a nearby bucket of cold water and doused the uncle's body. The middle-aged man jolted awake. He looked at Gu Yunting, who had just entered, and began to curse again, spewing vulgarities without restraint.
Gu Yunting extended his hand, and Jiang Jingxiu immediately placed a dagger into it.
The uncle's eyes widened in terror. "What do you want? I'm warning you, little beast, if you dare to kill me, the Gu family won't let you go! Ugh..."
Gu Yunting plunged the dagger in his hand into the man's lower abdomen. He stepped back with a smile, his face full of mockery. He then took the whip from Jiang Jingxiu and lashed the man again. The man cried out in agony, initially continuing to curse, but eventually resorting to pleading.
"Idiot, sold and still counting the money for the buyer. Killing you would dirty my hands. Beat him for two more days. If he doesn't die, throw him back to the Gu family!" Gu Yunting lost interest in the man.
This uncle was a pawn in the Gu residence, lacking intelligence. It was likely he was manipulated by someone with ulterior motives in this incident. Therefore, killing such a person was meaningless. Throwing him back to the Gu family would serve as a deterrent.
Jiang Jingxiu smiled and agreed. He stepped forward and pulled the dagger from Gu Yunting's stab wound in the uncle's abdomen. Blood splattered out, staining Jiang Jingxiu's hand red. He still smiled, as if the substance on his hand wasn't human blood but ketchup. He raised his hand and rubbed it vigorously against the man's body, saying with a smile, "Someone, help Uncle stop the bleeding! And apply some medicine!"
Upon hearing this, the uncle was so scared he wet himself. He finally realized that his cheap nephew was a ruthless character, and those around him were not only ruthless but also deranged. The mention of applying medicine was actually a threat to salt his wound!
Gu Yunting had no interest in this foolish man who had been used. He left in anger. His phone rang; it was Yan Jiayi calling. He answered, his voice gentle, "Hello?"
"Brother Yunting, where are you? Come and keep me company, please. My arm hurts so much, and I feel so unwell," Yan Jiayi cried pitifully.
"I have important matters at the company today. I'll come to have dinner with you tonight." Gu Yunting's voice remained gentle, but it allowed no room for doubt.
Yan Jiayi knew that many women coveted a man like Gu Yunting. His special attention towards her was due to her deceased brother, so she decided to accept what she was given. She playfully pouted and hung up the phone.
"What is she doing?" Gu Yunting asked Gu Ye, who was in front of him.
"Miss Ye played with Ju Zuo for a while after waking up. After breakfast, she's now going to meet Young Master Lin." Gu Ye answered diligently.
"Ju Zuo?" Gu Yunting repeated the name. He assumed it was the name Ye Wan had given the little tiger.
"Send more people to protect her. No mistakes are allowed!" Gu Yunting said, then closed his eyes to rest, his chest still aching faintly.
