Chapter 999: Investigation

Guan Lei's lips curled into a smile at the pandemonium unfolding before him. "Since the Guan family can't benefit from this, then let the Gu and Liu family come down with us!" he said.

The next day, news of the Liu family receiving bribes spread like wildfire, and their initial lead in becoming the top general was lost.

With the once highly acclaimed Liu family ousted, a new candidate quickly emerged. However, in the struggle, both the Guan and Gu families suffered setbacks.

Guan Yi, armed with evidence provided by Meng Yu, successfully cleared his name from the investigation.

Yet, the mastermind behind the scheme, the Gu family, faced no repercussions, as those deserving punishment had long been handed over by the Guan family and met their demise.

Gu Chen, having just recovered from his injuries, barely had time to catch his breath before investigators arrived at his door to inquire about the assault on Guan Lei in his laboratory.
