Young Master Gu stood there calmly for a while before putting the photos away. He didn't even want to go home and went straight to the Gu family's old house.

These photos gave him a good excuse, just in time to sever ties with Su Mo!

Even though he was very satisfied with Su Mo before, after Su Mo was suspected of hiring someone to commit murder, Young Master Gu had already removed her from his list of potential wives, and his original determination to get engaged had vanished without a trace.

He's the one who's going to inherit the Gu family business, how can he marry someone who's suspected of hiring someone to commit murder?

What's more, Su Mo's private life is so chaotic!

After arriving at the Gu family's old house, Young Master Gu went straight to the small garden at the back. Usually, his father would be practicing Tai Chi in the small garden at this time.

"Dad, something's happened!" Young Master Gu shouted as soon as he entered the small garden, startling the Gu family head who was practicing Tai Chi. The Gu family head swayed for a few moments before finally regaining his balance.

After finishing the remaining two moves, the Gu family head took a deep breath and looked at the young master Gu, who had rushed up to him, with a rather dissatisfied tone, "Have you forgotten everything I taught you?"

Young Master Gu walked briskly all the way, and when he suddenly stopped, he was a little out of breath. He handed the file bag to the head of the Gu family and explained, "I went to have lunch with Su Mo this morning. Halfway through the meal, Su Mo was taken away by the police. They said she was suspected of hiring someone to commit murder!"

Upon hearing this, the Gu family head's eyes widened instantly. Hired someone to kill?!

Before Young Master Gu could finish speaking, he pointed to the file folder in the Gu family head's hand and continued, "At first, I thought Su Mo was framed..." Before he could finish, the Gu family head immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Families like ours are very easily framed..." But before the Gu family head could finish speaking, Young Master Gu waved his hands repeatedly and explained:

"I thought so at first, so I called Su Yangxia to ask, but Su Yangxia seemed to know nothing. Then I went home and found this at my doorstep."

Upon hearing this, the head of the Gu family became intensely curious about the file bag in his hand. Encouraged by the eldest son of the Gu family's gaze, he took out the contents of the file bag.

Upon seeing the photo, the head of the Gu family was so angry that his beard bristled and his eyes widened. His hand holding the photo trembled. "This...this is real?!"

Young Master Gu didn't know either, so he told the truth, "I'm not sure either. It could be synthetic, but there's a high chance it's... real!" The last two words were practically ground out by Young Master Gu's teeth.

In his heart, the photo was 99.9% authentic!

There is only a 0.1% chance that he was framed.

Upon hearing this, the Gu family head also fell silent. If Su Mo hadn't been taken away by the police, he might have firmly believed that someone was framing her, but now... he shared the same view as the eldest son of the Gu family.

After putting all the photos back into the file folder, the Gu family head quietly looked at the eldest son of the Gu family, and after a long while asked, "So what do you plan to do?"

Without a second thought, Young Master Gu said, "I want to sever all ties with Su Mo!" He was picky about his marriage partner and wouldn't agree to anything even slightly dissatisfying, let alone the fact that there were two irreparable flaws in Su Mo that he found unacceptable.

The head of the Gu family remained silent, but the eldest son of the Gu family continued, "But the Gu family cannot leave any grounds for criticism, saying that the Gu family severed ties with Su Mo because they were afraid of being implicated after she was taken away by the police. Therefore, we must take these photos to Su Mo's door and demand an explanation from the Su family!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a smile finally appeared on the Gu family head's face. "That's right! The Gu family can't afford to leave any ammunition!" Everyone in Beicheng knew that Young Master Gu and Su Mo were boyfriend and girlfriend, and the fact that Su Mo had been taken away by the police couldn't be kept secret. The Gu family had to act quickly if they wanted to sever ties with Su Mo. But this would easily give outsiders ammunition and damage the Gu family's reputation. However, it was different because they had a legitimate reason to act!

Upon seeing this, Young Master Gu was overjoyed. He had thought his father would disagree with his actions. "Dad, I'll contact the media immediately. The Gu family must come to our door to demand an explanation in a fair and square manner."

"Go ahead!" The head of the Gu family sealed the file bag and returned it to the eldest son of the Gu family. He then beckoned to the servant beside him, telling him to tidy up the things here so that he could go change his clothes and get ready.

Soon, the Gu family head and young master Gu were all ready to go, got into their car, and headed towards the Su family's old residence.

When they arrived at the Su family's old residence, Su Shengrong and Su Yangxia were discussing who they should contact to find out the truth about the matter, because they had already contacted people they knew, but had not received any accurate reply.

While Su Shengrong and Su Yangxia were both trying to find out what was going on, they were also wondering what kind of person Su Mo had offended. How could the Su family still not understand what had happened, even in their name? They hadn't even found out who the victim was! This was the first time Su Shengrong had encountered something like this in his life.

Just as they were scratching their heads in deep thought, Su Shengrong and Su Yangxia heard from Uncle Xin that the Gu family head and young master Gu had arrived, and their expressions were unusually serious! The two immediately exchanged a glance, conveying a knowing look to each other.

"They've come with ill intentions!" Su Yangxia said.

"We're here to demand an explanation!" Su Shengrong hadn't expected the Gu family to act so quickly. Had the Gu family already found out something? Otherwise, they wouldn't be in such a hurry to come knocking.

"Old friend, you came without even an announcement! I'm so sorry for not welcoming you properly!" Su Shengrong said to the head of the Gu family with a friendly smile as he came down the stairs. He then turned to the eldest son of the Gu family and said, "Nephew, you're here too? Why are you standing there? Come and sit down! We'll all be family soon, no need for formalities!"

Young Master Gu chuckled twice, not taking Su Shengrong's words seriously. The head of the Gu family then chimed in, "I also wanted to give you a heads-up, but there's simply not enough time!" With that, he gestured for Young Master Gu to hand the file folder to Su Shengrong.

Although Young Master Gu was in a very bad mood, he still handed the file bag to Su Yangxia instead of throwing it directly in front of Su Shengrong. This was because there was still a cooperation between the Gu family and the Su family. He wanted to sever ties with Su Mo, but not with the Su family. He even wanted to use this matter to make the Su family owe him a big favor so that they could help him take the position of head of the Gu family in the future!

"What's this?" Su Shengrong was a little confused. Weren't they here because Su Mo was taken away by the police?

The head of the Gu family pointed to the file bag and said, "Old brother, why don't you take a look first?" He was too embarrassed to say what was in the photo.

Upon hearing this, Su Shengrong asked Su Yangxia to bring him the file folder. He opened it with a puzzled look and took out a stack of photos. Su Shengrong immediately recognized the people in the photos.

"This..." Looking at those appalling scenes, Su Shengrong's face was filled with disbelief and an uncontrollable anger. "Old friend, even though Mo'er has been taken away by the police, the charges haven't been settled yet! Mo'er could still be framed. Aren't you going a bit too far in trying to clear the Gu family's name?"

Su Yangxia also looked at Young Master Gu with dissatisfaction. After all, Su Mo was still Young Master Gu's girlfriend. Now that Su Mo was in trouble, instead of helping her, Young Master Gu was thinking of kicking her while she was down! Didn't he know what a woman's reputation meant?

"I don't have that much free time!" The Gu family head was almost amused by Su Shengrong's words. "I don't have such extraordinary abilities that I could foresee Su Mo being taken away by the police and then create these photos in advance. Someone specially sent these to my son."

Reminded by the head of the Gu family, Su Shengrong and Su Yangxia checked the express delivery information on the file bag and indeed found something amiss.

The sender's address on the document bag is a courier station, so you can't tell who sent it at all!

Seeing that Su Shengrong and Su Yangxia had already noticed something was wrong, the Gu family head continued, "No sooner had Su Mo been taken away by the police than someone delivered this to my son's residence. Brother Su, putting aside the matter of Su Mo being taken away by the police, shouldn't the Su family give the Gu family an explanation for what's in these photos?"

"This..." Su Shengrong looked a little embarrassed. He had indeed acted impulsively. "Brother Gu, Mo'er hasn't come back yet. Only Mo'er can confirm whether the things in the photos are real or fake. We can't confirm it ourselves. Why don't we wait for Mo'er to come back and have her come to explain this to us in person?"

"Waiting for her to come back?" The Gu family head said sarcastically, "She doesn't even know if she can come back! Her things were sent to my son as soon as the incident happened. Who knows if it's revenge from the person she harmed? If it really is revenge, then the hired killer is very likely true, and the things in the photos are also very likely true!"

"That's absolutely impossible!" Su Shengrong retorted without hesitation. "My daughter would never do such a thing!"

"You can know a person's face but not their heart, Brother Su, this isn't absolute!" Patriarch Gu said calmly. "If I remember correctly, Su Mo is an illegitimate child, and she's only been brought back to the Su family a few years ago, right? What if it's true... the Su family would be finished!"

On the way here, the Gu family head had inquired about Su Mo's hiring of a hitman, but received no concrete answers. He knew then that the person Su Mo had offended was not someone to be trifled with. "Brother Su, you still haven't figured things out, have you? To tell you the truth, I haven't either, so..."

Su Mo has offended no ordinary person!

Once Su Mo's crimes are established, the first to be implicated will be Su Qi, who is about to be engaged to the Wen family. Once the Su family loses the Wen and Gu families as in-laws, the good situation that the Su family has managed to maintain will be broken. If they do not have the ability to turn the tide, it is only a matter of time before the Su family disappears from Beicheng.

Su Shengrong immediately understood the implication in the Gu family head's words. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he forced a smile and said, "What does Brother Gu want? As long as it doesn't damage our cooperative relationship, I can agree to any condition!"

The head of the Gu family smiled and said slowly, "I don't have any conditions! It's just that my son and Su Mo are only boyfriend and girlfriend. Between boyfriend and girlfriend, as long as they haven't registered their marriage, it's normal for them to break up and get back together. Brother Su, don't you think so?"

Su Shengrong's fake smile was almost impossible to maintain. The way the Gu family head was trying to sever ties with Su Mo while still maintaining a good reputation was truly disgusting to him.

But now they have leverage over Su Mo, and the Su family can't afford to lose the Gu family as a partner, so they can only make Su Mo suffer for now. Su Shengrong said, "Breaking up is indeed a perfectly normal thing." If Su Mo really offends someone she shouldn't have, there's only one outcome waiting for her.

"Hahaha!" Having gotten the answer he wanted, the Gu family head laughed out loud. "I knew Brother Su was a reasonable person. It's perfectly normal for the younger generation to separate and reunite."
