Chapter 1154: Star Wish: History Cannot Repeat Itself
Inside the box, the lights were dim, like the eyes of a person who had been ill for a long time, emitting a weak halo that made the figures of everyone look crooked and like ghosts.
The wallpaper on the wall was damp and peeling off, like pieces of withered memories, silently telling the prosperity and vicissitudes of the past.
The air was filled with the aroma of stale tea and a depressing atmosphere, the two intertwined together, making people feel suffocated.
Gu Mingcheng and Gu Yunqian, father and son, met each other's eyes, and at that moment, time seemed to freeze.
Their eyes were as deep as the sea. They only looked at each other for a short while, but countless pieces of information seemed to shuttle between them. The family's honor and disgrace, past grievances, and current predicaments were all tacitly understood in this moment.
Then, the father and son stood side by side, their postures as straight as pine trees, their stern faces as if carved by a knife, looking down at the Han couple who were huddled in the corner.
The majesty they emanated was like a materialized storm, which instantly extinguished the Han couple's arrogance before they even made a move.
The Han couple seemed to have had all their strength drained away. They staggered backwards until their backs were pressed against the wall. With no way to retreat, they could only wait in fear for the unknown "judgment."
Gu Yunqian was the first to break the deadlock. Compared to Gu Mingcheng's coldness and severity, he was a little more gentle, just like a ray of warm sunshine in the cold winter.
He was wearing a dark suit that was well-tailored and showed off his slender figure. Although his face was 80% similar to his father's, there was a hint of gentleness between his eyebrows.
He slowly reached into his arms and took out a file bag. The file bag looked ordinary, but in this tense atmosphere it was like a bomb that could explode at any time.
Gu Mingcheng's previous rebuke, every word of which was as sharp as a knife, had already pierced through the Han couple's disguise and left them paralyzed to the ground.
At this moment, Gu Yunqian was approaching with the file bag, and the Han couple's eyes were full of fear.
Mr. Han’s face was as pale as paper, his lips were trembling violently, and his teeth were chattering;
Old Madam Han was even more horrified, her eyes wide open, staring at the file bag in Gu Yunqian's hand, as if it was a spell to take her life.
Gu Yunqian stopped just a few feet away from the Han couple, leaned over slightly, glanced at them with cold eyes, then raised his wrist slightly, and the file bag hit Old Man Han's face with a strong wind.
The sound of "pop" was particularly harsh in the silent box. Mr. Han seemed to have received an electric shock, and his whole body began to tremble violently. He subconsciously covered his face with his hands, and the file bag fell to the ground, with papers scattered all over the floor.
Old Madam Han was extremely terrified. She screamed "Ah" and threw herself into her husband's arms. She grabbed the corner of her husband's clothes tightly with both hands, curled up into a ball, not daring to breathe, and closed her eyes, as if trying to escape this nightmare reality.
After a long time, Mr. Han picked up the file bag on the ground with trembling hands.
The moment his fingers touched the paper, he pulled his hand back sharply as if he had touched a poisonous snake.
After a long while, he finally mustered up the courage to pick it up again, and it took a lot of effort to open it.
As the bag was opened, the contents inside gradually appeared. Pieces of dirty laundry about the Han family appeared like a ferocious evil spirit, pouncing at them with bared fangs and claws.
Old Man Han's hands were shaking more and more violently, the papers were rustling in his hands, and the despair in his eyes was as endless as the abyss.
Only then did he realize that Gu Yunqian had shown mercy by bankrupting the Han family. If any of the contents in this file bag were leaked, it would violate the legal red line, and these old men would probably have to spend the rest of their lives in prison.
After her initial panic, Madam Han seemed to suddenly come to her senses.
She suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of panic and unwillingness. She loosened her husband's clothes with both hands and frantically destroyed the file bag, shouting: "This is impossible, you may have got these things!"
Her voice was sharp and piercing, breaking the brief silence. Her hair was disheveled as she struggled, as if she was crazy.
In stark contrast to her previous cowering fear, at this moment, she burst out with amazing strength for the sake of her family's final dignity.
Gu Yunqian looked at them and frowned slightly. He knew in his heart that if these two people were still not awake and continued to stir up trouble in public opinion, the consequences would be disastrous.
"I lost the lawsuit I brought against your daughter. It's ridiculous to think that I lost such a good case!"
His expression was calm, but his tone was as sharp as an ice knife.
"I reflected on it and thought that the evidence I collected was not enough, so the law was not on my side."
"Oh no, now it seems that I sued under the wrong name! I shouldn't sue for defamation, I should sue for malicious defamation! After all, you dare to broadcast nonsense without any evidence! I will ask someone to collect the screen recording as evidence!"
Gu Yunqian's tone was still gentle, but if you listened carefully, you could still detect emotion in his tone. After a while, he slapped his forehead again as if he had just remembered something and continued speaking.
It can be seen that Gu Yunqian, who lost the defamation case, was actually very unhappy, but at this time he was playing the villain so he couldn't explode!
"I advise you two to think about yourselves before you act. Someone who can break up a relatively stable relationship with Han Zhiyuan with just a few words must be the one who knows both of our weaknesses best."
At this point, he looked directly at Mr. Han with a sharp gaze.
"Don't be too calculating in your mind. The debt is already on the way."
What this means is that the Han family will soon be held accountable for their past actions.
At this moment, the Han couple couldn't help but recall what Gu Mingcheng had said before about Han Yinuo.
Han Yinuo's experience back then was already shrouded in mystery.
Gu Mingcheng planted the seeds intentionally or unintentionally, causing their habitual thinking to start taking effect.
Gu Mingcheng was cruel and ruthless back then. He found a scapegoat who had plastic surgery to look like him, eloped with Han Yinuo, and then quietly got rid of the two to prevent future troubles.
When Han Yinuo just died, Mr. Han and Mrs. Han had already reached a consensus on this idea, but they never made it formally clear, because at that time their main concern was that the annoying sister was finally dead!
Now, aren't they also likely to be eliminated quietly?
Thinking of this, they felt a chill down their spines. Combined with what Gu Mingcheng said, "Another chance given by God," they looked towards a place and began to empty their minds, as if they saw the possibility of history repeating itself.
——If things were allowed to develop, would Han Zhiyuan also be caught up in emotional entanglements, be labeled with "false accusations", and eventually end up dying like Han Yinuo?
Such associations made Gu Mingcheng seem even more cruel and ruthless in their eyes. Even after so many years, he was still more frightening than when he was young.
"We are the ones who caused you trouble by not teaching our daughter well. My nephew and son-in-law, please be magnanimous. Please be magnanimous. Don't hold it against Zhiyuan!"
After figuring it out in his mind, Mr. Han immediately started to grab Gu Yunqian's trouser legs to establish a relationship with him. That look was really not a good look!
"Boss Gu, little Boss Gu, we don't have many years left to live at our age, and we only have this one daughter. She was ignorant and offended you, and it's all our fault. For the sake of our relationship, please don't hold it against us!"
Seeing my old man begging for mercy without caring about his image, Madam Han finally reacted and immediately grabbed Gu Yunqian's other trouser leg, even dragging Gu Mingcheng, who had been watching the show for a long time, into it...
