Chapter 2714: Chapter 2718: It Feels So Satisfying!

Competing with the Fifth Young Master of the Gu Family in background and connections?

She had to be joking, right?

Zang Jiayi stared at Gu Junzhu; the face that had been flushed red with rage just now gradually turned as white as paper.

She hadn’t known any of this before.

Senior Master Huo had just finished viciously scolding Huo Qihang; Huo Qihang was dazed and shattered, and before he had time to say anything to her, Senior Master Huo had summoned her here.

She didn’t know that Gu Junzhu had already been to the Huo Family once.

She also didn’t know that Huo Zhongqi was now Gu Junzhu’s soon-to-be disciple.

She couldn’t understand—she and the Huo Family had no grudges recently or in the past, and she had never heard of any relationship between Lo Mingze and the Gu Family, so why would Gu Junzhu wade into this muddy water?

If Gu Junzhu really wanted to intervene in this matter, then what did that make her uncle by marriage?

What did that make her grand-uncle?

Chances were that even her own parents, afraid she’d drag the family down, would be scrambling to distance themselves from her.

In the face of family interests, married-out daughters like them had always been selectively expendable.

She finally understood why Senior Master Huo had treated Lo Zeming with such courtesy.

And she finally understood why Huo Qihang had been so terrified.

Just moments ago, she’d still been full of disdain, convinced that the evidence in Lo Mingze’s hands was useless as shit.

Evidence? So what?

With just a few phone calls, she could make Lo Zeming’s so-called evidence vanish into thin air, disappear from this world completely.

She could even make Lo Zeming himself disappear from this world without a trace.

But now, after learning who Gu Junzhu really was, she no longer thought so.

With the Gu Family’s power involved, how could she possibly still have the ability to destroy the evidence in Lo Zeming’s hands?

Evidence...

If that evidence really got brought into court, she’d be going to prison!

The moment that thought hit her, terror shot through her; within seconds, cold sweat soaked her clothes through.

Just now she had still been swaggering and arrogant, acting like she owned the place; in merely a few minutes, her face had turned deathly pale, with not a trace of color.

Seeing her like this, Lo Zeming felt indescribably satisfied.

The wheel of fortune turns.

Eight years ago, Huo Qihang and Zang Jiayi had used their family status and power to crush his sister to a wrongful death and force him to live on in humiliation.

Eight years later, the Gu Family was using their status and reputation to scare Zang Jiayi into a muddle of terror, her face drained of blood.

This was retribution in this lifetime!

Satisfying.

Utterly, gloriously satisfying!

His heart surged with wild exhilaration; he wanted nothing more than to throw back his head and laugh at the sky a few times.

Senior Master Huo racked his brains for a way out; after thinking and thinking, his gaze landed on Huo Zhongqi’s face. "Qiqi..."

He was just about to say more when the butler stumbled in, almost falling. "Sir, the police... the police are here..."

Senior Master Huo’s face, already very dark, grew even uglier.

He clenched his jaw and looked at Huo Zhongqi. "Qiqi, at this point, I know there’s no turning this around. I don’t dare hope for anything else. I only hope that, for the sake of the affection I’ve truly had for you, you’ll let Grandpa keep the news sealed and not let it spread outside."

Things had come to this; trying to protect Huo Qihang and Zang Jiayi was absolutely impossible.

All he could do was sacrifice the car to save the king.

No matter what, he couldn’t let the filthy things Huo Qihang and Zang Jiayi had done be exposed to the media and the public.

As long as he could preserve the Huo Family’s reputation, whatever Lo Zeming and Huo Zhongqi wanted, he would agree.

Huo Zhongqi looked over at Gu Junzhu.

Gu Junzhu curled his lips. "What do you think?"

Huo Zhongqi looked at Gu Junzhu and said earnestly, "Uncle, my grandfather is a good man, and my first and second uncles are good men too."
