NOVEL NEXT Chapter 437: Phone
The next day, in Yunzhong City, within the Gu Family Manor.
It was still morning, the sun was shining brightly, and the garden of the Gu Family Manor was a scene of brilliance. Gu Shengzhe had changed into a simple Tang suit, brewed a pot of tea, and lay in a rocking chair, still holding that old book in his hands. At a glance, he exuded a certain elegance.
"Master, you were looking for me?"
At this moment, a man dressed in black athletic wear walked over and, upon seeing Gu Shengzhe, respectfully spoke.
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, Gu Shengzhe nodded and said, "The matter I asked Yunfeng to handle a few days ago, how has Yunfeng done?"
His words were filled with a sense of calm, conveying an impression of tranquility.
A few days ago, he tasked Gu Yunfeng with dealing with Lu Yu, not holding too much hope, as the person who could make the Jin Family suffer repeatedly was naturally not easy to catch.
He had Gu Yunfeng seek trouble with Lu Yu as a test, to get a rough understanding of Lu Yu's strength!
It was precisely for this reason that he wanted to use this test to evaluate Lu Yu's strength, making it easier for him to make a move against Lu Yu in the future!
Unlike the patriarch of the Jin Family, Jin Qingyun, Gu Shengzhe is extremely cautious and prudent. Before undertaking anything, he prefers to test and evaluate, then formulate corresponding plans. This approach has enabled the Gu Family to thrive, while leaving the Jin Family at a loss against him.
It is this caution and prudence that has ensured Gu Shengzhe's continued success!
Upon hearing Gu Shengzhe's words, the man in black nodded and said, "Master, there has been no news from Young Master Yunfeng these days, so I am also not sure about this matter!"
The man's voice was extremely steady. Although he addressed Gu Shengzhe as master and was very respectful, there was no trace of a servant's demeanor in his language, clearly indicating his high status.
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing the man's words, Gu Shengzhe's heart was slightly moved, then he said, "No news from Yunfeng these days?"
His speech carried a hint of displeasure. At this moment, he slowly put down the book in his hand and said, "Yunfeng is still too playful. If only he could prioritize the family's business like his two brothers."
As he spoke, Gu Shengzhe's tone was very low, with an undertone of worry. He paused his speech slightly and said, "This way, call Yunfeng and let me know how this matter is going!"
This time, the task he assigned to Gu Yunfeng was concerning how he would deal with Lu Yu, so Gu Shengzhe needed detailed information before considering how to make a move!
Moreover, while capturing him, there was still the Jin Family eyeing from behind!
The strength of the Jin Family was not inferior to the Gu Family's and they discovered Lu Yu's existence before him, so their preparations were more thorough. He absolutely couldn't afford to delay and must take swift action!
It is for this reason that Gu Shengzhe was urging this matter so urgently!
After all, successfully capturing Lu Yu would allow the Gu Family to expand significantly, becoming an even larger family!
"Yes, Master,"
Upon hearing Gu Shengzhe's words, the man calmly said, taking out his phone, finding Gu Yunfeng's number, and dialing it immediately.
"Hello, this is the morgue at LA City People's Hospital. Are you a relative of the deceased?"
Just as the call connected, a very clear man's voice immediately came through the phone.
LA City, morgue?!
At this word, the man's eyes instantly widened. He never expected this phone call to result in such an outcome!
Shocked, the man quickly glanced at the phone's screen, only to find that the number displayed was indeed Gu Yunfeng's!
What's going on?
Why is Gu Yunfeng's phone in the hospital's morgue?
Instantly, an idea flashed through his mind!
Could it be, something happened to Gu Yunfeng?
"What did you say?"
Thinking of this, the man spoke, with a subtle hint of coldness in his words, "Say that again?"
Now, he simply did not want to accept the thought in his mind!
"I said, this is the morgue at LA City People's Hospital. Are you a relative of the deceased Gu Yunfeng?"
Hearing the man's words, the voice on the phone confirmed again, as if afraid he couldn't hear clearly, even raising the volume!
Snap!
Hearing these words, especially the words 'the deceased', the man's hand loosened, causing the phone to slip and fall to the ground, making a crisp sound!
The young master of the Gu Family, the youngest son of Gu Shengzhe, Gu Yunfeng, is actually dead?
"What happened?"
Seeing the man's demeanor, Gu Shengzhe picked up the purple clay teapot filled with tea beside him and calmly said, "You've been with me for decades, and this is the first time I've seen you drop a phone!"
In his words, Gu Shengzhe carried a hint of teasing, appearing unusually relaxed.
"Master,"
Upon hearing Gu Shengzhe's words, the man spoke slowly, his tone low, "Young Master Yunfeng is dead!"
Bang!
With these words, instantaneously, with a muffled sound, the purple clay teapot in Gu Shengzhe's hand fell to the ground, shattering into pieces, with the shards and tea scattering everywhere!
"What did you say...?"
Hearing the man's words, Gu Shengzhe's body seemed to freeze. He looked at the man in athletic wear in front of him and spoke in utter shock, "Yunfeng is dead?"
His speech revealed a trace of shock on his once elegant face, now unable to comprehend that such a thing had happened!
"Yes, Master!"
Hearing Gu Shengzhe's question, the man responded in a low tone, "I just called Young Master Yunfeng's phone, and it was the morgue at LA City People's Hospital that answered. They asked if I was a relative of the deceased Gu Yunfeng..."
In his speech, the man's voice grew even lower, now clearly mindful of Gu Shengzhe's feelings!
Buzz!
Upon hearing the man's words, Gu Shengzhe felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, a sensation of dizziness, as the energetic young son Gu Yunfeng, who had sat before him just days ago, was actually dead?
Now, Gu Shengzhe couldn't believe his own ears!
