Chapter 212 The Gu Family’s Crisis
Later, when Chang Ningchen was buying supplies, the bandit army was very attentive to Chang Ningchen's caravan. When they saw him, they would only take half and leave the other half for him to transport back. But when they met other caravans, they would take all of them.
Chang Ningchen, who had the goods, not only hoarded them but also traded them. He exchanged a particularly useful hemostatic formula in the system mall, and then asked his pharmacy to make and sell it.
This medicine sold out quickly because of its good efficacy. The pharmaceutical industry is also a highly profitable industry. Chang Ningchen made a lot of money just from this prescription. With the money, Chang Ningchen began to secretly expand the scale of his business and even bought the Gu family's shop and made it his Dong family's.
Chang Ningchen also took over other profitable businesses such as tea, silk, and porcelain one after another. He disguised himself and called himself Mr. Qiao.
He'd thrived using his previous business skills as Qiao Ningchen, even exchanging them for a large amount of gold. However, he felt unsafe keeping it on his own, so he sent someone to disguise it as cargo and deliver it to the bandit leader in the mountains. Investing requires boldness!
Soon the dynasty collapsed and the emperor announced his abdication, and the chapter of the Republic of China began, but the fruits of the revolutionary victory were stolen, and the ruler planned to become emperor himself.
However, the fact that the emperor is far away did not affect Chang Ningchen's business empire plan. He wanted to find a backer while there were still a few years of peace.
There was no movement from the bandit army outside the city, but the county town was not as chaotic as outside. Chang Ningchen felt that the bandit army must have grown into a big beast, otherwise other people would have long since set their sights on the rich county town where Chang Ningchen was.
Just like a group of vultures that find fat meat but don’t dare to take a bite, it must be because there is a well-fed beast lying nearby!
He was the one who fattened this beast! But they hadn't communicated much, and he didn't know if the bandit leader was an ungrateful person. But he couldn't stop feeding it now that he had started. If he stopped, Chang Ningchen didn't know if it would come to him for food, or just eat him outright!
"Ding! Main quest completed +100 damage value!"
"Ding! Main quest: Survive! Refresh the quest at 24:100 every day and receive + damage points."
Chang Ningchen felt that the tasks were getting more and more serious, and it would take effort to survive in this chaotic world.
Fortunately, after delivering the gold, the servant brought over a box and said, "Master Dong, this is a signal flare given by the military commander. If Master Dong encounters any problems, when this goes off, the military commander will come to help you."
Very good! After so many years of raising him, he finally got the upper hand! Chang Ningchen suddenly felt very confident. He could now close the net he had cast for so many years!
Chang Ningchen is now very powerful. He wants to leave the Gu family but is afraid that Gu Xingtao will be hurt by the vampires in the Gu family. If they know that he is Mr. Qiao, they will definitely use Xiao Taotao as a bargaining chip to blackmail him.
So Chang Ningchen designed to make Gu Gaoxiang and Gu Shijie addicted to gambling. He lent them money in the name of Mr. Qiao and made them owe Gao Lei money.
Now they owed so much money that they couldn't pay it even if they sold the Gu family, and then Chang Ningchen started sending people to collect the debt.
The debt collector beat the two men up and told them that Mr. Qiao wanted Gu Xingtao, the eldest grandson of the Gu family. If they were willing to hand the person over to him, one of them would be exempted from all debts. There was only one place, and the child could not be harmed.
Upon hearing that all debts could be forgiven, Gu Gaoxiang and Gu Shijie hurried home to find a way to kidnap Gu Xingtao.
But Gu Xingtao has always been by Dong Er's side, and he is very cautious at a young age. He won't eat or take anything given by others, and will scream if someone touches him. Even if someone is asked to follow him after school, he can quickly get rid of them. He is really a shrewd person!
Gu Gaoxiang and Gu Shijie spent a long time but couldn't find a chance to take Gu Xingtao away. They had no choice but to discuss how to get rid of Dong Er first!
Chang Ningchen was packing up that night. Since he and Gu Xingtao were both leaving the Gu family, he had to take these things with him. Once they left the Gu family, he could deal with these parasites!
Gu Xingtao, who was helping to clean up, found an unfamiliar box and asked, "Aunt, what is this?"
Chang Ningchen looked at the signal flare given by Jun Ye, thinking that it could be used if Gu Xingtao got into trouble, so he said to him: "This is a signal flare. If Taotao is in danger, just point the gun towards the sky and pull the trigger, and someone will come to save Taotao."
Gu Xingtao asked curiously, "Is it my aunt who came to save Taotao?"
Chang Ningchen smiled and said, "It was a god from heaven who came down to save Taotao! Keep the things safe and use them when you are in danger."
Gu Xingtao nodded and wanted to put the box away. At this moment, two big men suddenly rushed out. One of them knocked Chang Ningchen unconscious when he was not paying attention, and the other one planned to catch Gu Xingtao.
Gu Xingtao dodged the big man's attack very nimbly, then ran out of the yard with the box in his arms. But strangely, he didn't see any servants along the way. No one responded no matter how he shouted, and the doors and windows were all closed. It was obvious that they wanted to catch him!
"You bastard, stop here!"
Gu Xingtao was startled when he heard the man's shout. This man's voice sounded like his Second Uncle?! He ran into a dead end in fear. The more he looked at the masked man, the more he looked like his Second Uncle!
Holding the box, Gu Xingtao asked fearfully, "Are you my second uncle?"
"Yes, dear Taotao, I will take you to meet the business tycoon Mr. Qiao. If you follow him, you won't have to worry about anything in the future!"
Gu Gaoxiang knew that he had been recognized, so he stopped pretending. He and Gu Shijie deliberately asked the servants to stay away in order to capture Gu Xingtao and take him back to pay off the debt. He had already discussed with Gu Shijie that they would use the money to continue gambling, and soon both of them would have no debts!
Although nine out of ten bets are lost, as long as they bet right once, there will definitely be a chance to turn the tables!
Gu Gaoxiang looked at Gu Xingtao with greedy eyes, as if he saw not his nephew but a pile of silver!
Seeing the man's eyes, Gu Xingtao was very scared and shouted: "Taotao, don't go to Mr. Qiao! Taotao wants to be with my aunt!!"
Seeing Gu Xingtao being so disobedient, Gu Gaoxiang said impatiently, "Don't think about that peasant. He'll go see your second uncle soon! If you don't want to see your dead father, then come here obediently!"
Gu Xingtao knew that he couldn't save Dong Er alone, so he fired the flare in the box into the sky.
"boom!"
A brilliant firework burst out in the night sky of the county town, and Gu Gaoxiang took this opportunity to catch Gu Xingtao.
At this moment, Gu Shijie had already tied Dong Er to the carriage. He wanted to steal his money but not his life. It was Gu Gaoxiang who said that Dong Er could not be kept alive and that he had to take people to bury him in the mountains. The two of them were now tied to the same rope and neither of them could escape. Gu Shijie had no choice but to listen to Gu Gaoxiang.
Gu Xingtao was tied up and thrown into a carriage. He couldn't move and his mouth was stuffed with cloth. He wanted to save people but could only watch Gu Gaoxiang and Gu Shijie dig up Gu Qingshu's tomb. These two crazy guys planned to bury Dong Er alive!
