章 713: The Eldest Son of the Gu Family, Expelled from the Capital?

Shock rippled through everyone present.

"The Gu family?" Lin Ran furrowed his brow. "Why would they target their own?"

Gu Yang pondered aloud. "The Gu family in the capital?"

The Gu family in the capital served as Gu Zhaoming's primary lineage. His father, Old Master Gu, headed this branch. However, two decades ago, for undisclosed reasons, Gu Zhaoming severed ties with the main family and relocated to Jin City to embark on his own business ventures.

Subsequently, his association with the main family dwindled.

From the original host's recollections, Gu Zhaoming seldom mentioned the main family.

With the driver's confession, divulging all he knew seemed inevitable. "It was the butler of the Gu family in the capital who instructed me to target you."

"He approached me days ago, offering a suitcase stuffed with a million yuan in cash. His condition? Strike you two lightly, and the money's mine."
