Having been reborn, why would he be afraid of Mr. Gu, who still has a white moonlight?

Upon hearing Gu Tingzhou's words, Gu's second aunt froze on the spot.

Her face drained of color, her pupils dilated, and she stared unblinkingly at Gu Tingzhou.

She never participated in the management of the Liang family business; it was all handled by Gu Tingyao's uncle, so she had no idea about the specifics.

However, she holds shares in Liang's Group and receives dividends every year. Now, Liang's Group has acquired many projects from Gu's Group and is doing better and better, so the annual dividends are constantly increasing.

This year, with plans for an IPO, her Liang family shares will multiply several times over.

However, she was unaware that Liang's growth was built on the shoddy workmanship of Gu's projects, nor did she know how much money Liang had swindled from Gu.

Aunt Gu looked at Gu Tingzhou with fear in her eyes, unable to suppress her panic.

She understood Gu Tingzhou's personality. Although he was ruthless in his actions, he wouldn't make accusations without solid evidence.

Having realized this, her face turned pale, her lips trembled, and she stammered, "Tingzhou, isn't there some misunderstanding here? Although Ayao's uncle is somewhat greedy, it's absolutely impossible for him to do anything that would harm the Gu family's interests."

Gu Tingzhou's eyes held a mocking look. "Second Aunt, you should know my personality. I won't do anything that's fabricated out of thin air without any evidence."

"The reason I didn't say this in front of the company's board of directors, but came to you in person, is that I wanted to handle our own affairs behind closed doors."

"The most important thing for Liang's company to prepare for listing is to accept government scrutiny. Once this matter is exposed, let alone listing, it will go bankrupt directly."

“I haven’t told my grandfather yet, but the Liang family has embezzled too much, several hundred million, so they definitely need to give an explanation, otherwise it will be difficult for me.”

"On one side is the Gu family, and on the other side is the Liang family. Second Aunt, what should you do? You need to make a decision."

Aunt Gu was stunned by Gu Tingzhou's words, one after another, and was drenched in sweat.

Out of consideration for the company's interests, Gu Tingzhou certainly had the right to inquire about such a large sum of money.

A project can take anywhere from a few months to two or three years to complete. If the Liang family had really cut corners and used inferior materials, Gu Tingzhou wouldn't have only discovered it now and wanted to expose it.

Now is the crucial stage of Liang's listing, which directly holds Liang's lifeline in its hands. The amount involved is enormous, and no one would dare to cross it.

No wonder he said he signed off on all of Liang's projects. He was fully aware of Liang's actions from beginning to end, but chose to stand by and watch, waiting for the snowball to grow bigger and bigger before delivering a fatal blow.

But why did he choose this time? If Liang's company goes public and then collapses, wouldn't there be no way for it to recover?

Gu Tingzhou is a very shrewd person. He was personally taught by his grandfather from a young age, which made him unpredictable. His purpose is definitely not that simple.

Aunt Gu picked up the teacup on the table and tried twice before taking a big gulp of water.

As the warm water slid down her throat, her mind gradually calmed down.

She closed her eyes briefly, and when she opened them again, she saw Gu Tingzhou looking calm and composed, with an air of nonchalance, handsome and noble.

Aunt Gu carefully spoke up: "Tingzhou, since I married into the Gu family, of course I will stand on the Gu family's side. However, Liang's Group has accumulated so much over the years, and Uncle Yao and the others have devoted half their lives to it."

"For the sake of your second uncle and A-Yao, could you please let Liang Shi off the hook?"

Gu Tingzhou's eyes were deep, and a faint sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Second Aunt, the issue now is not whether I will let her go or not, but how Liang will save herself."

"I came to see you in person, without telling Grandpa, to show you my attitude."

“We’re all family. Ah Yao’s uncle is also my uncle. How could I just stand by and watch the Liang family fall?”

"But the Liang family is too greedy and too impatient!"

After saying his last sentence, Gu Tingzhou looked meaningfully at his second aunt, whose face was pale.

Whether it was her previous scheme to get Song Wanwan into her bed or her role in fueling this trending topic, she was too impatient.

The Liang family has been cutting corners and using inferior materials for a long time. If he really doesn't care about appearances and waits until the company goes public before revealing his misconduct, the Liang family will collapse.

At that time, Aunt Gu will no longer have Liang Shi as her backer, and she will no longer be able to cause trouble.

She would no longer think that by relying on the Liang family as her backer and by getting involved in the marriage between Gu Tingyao and the Huo family, she could compete with herself for the position of head of the Gu family.

Having desires is a good thing; her only mistake was trusting her family too much and ignoring the greed inherent in human nature.

Her only mistake was using Song Wanwan to attack him again. He could forgive her the first time, but he wouldn't let it go again.

The image of Song Wanwan's heartbroken face flashed into Gu Tingzhou's mind, stirring the softest spot in his heart. The aura around him turned cold, and his expression became even more stern.

From Gu Tingzhou's words, Aunt Gu finally understood his intention. He was a wolf waiting for an opportunity, and he finally revealed his fangs, ready to deliver a heavy blow to his opponent at the right time.

She gave a bitter smile. "Tingzhou, your second aunt knows what to do. Liang will give Gu an explanation."

Having received a promise from his second aunt, Gu Tingzhou said nothing more and got up to leave the courtyard.

Aunt Gu sat alone in the courtyard for a long time. Despite her resentment, she finally made up her mind. Gu Tingzhou had considered family ties and left a way out for Liang Shi and her.

She picked up the phone and dialed, finally losing her temper amidst the incredulous and shocked tone of the other party. She had painstakingly built up her business for so many years, only to be brought down by these insatiable people.

Greed brought him success, and greed also brought him down; in the end, it was all just a magnificent dream!

She hung up the phone, then called Uncle Gu back from the company and took Gu Tingyao to her residence.

The Gu family is destined to be anything but peaceful today.

After leaving the old house, Gu Tingzhou went to the company and asked the finance department to settle the profit points in the cooperation with Liang's Construction, as well as the evidence he had collected of Liang's shoddy workmanship.

Several neat stacks of documents were placed on his desk.

He stared at the documents, his eyes deep and thoughtful, while his expression remained calm as he looked at the telephone on the table.

After a moment of silence, the phone finally rang, but I didn't expect it to be so soon.

On the fifth ring, he picked up the phone, pressed the answer button, and held it to his ear.

"grandfather!"

The voice of Old Master Gu, tinged with anger, came from the other end of the phone. He first asked whether there was solid evidence regarding Liang's case, and then inquired about the specific amount involved.

Then he tentatively asked Gu Tingzhou, "Were you involved in the Liang family's affairs?"

What are your thoughts on the Liang family?
