Chapter 947 — Two Choices, Repaid Double!

In the villa's living room, Gu Pengzhan regarded the domineering Yu Bide with a kind of sorrow. He had long known there was no reasoning with the overbearing Yu family, yet everyone clings to a sliver of hope. Now it seemed there was no other way; Gu Pengzhan could only offer a bitter laugh: "Yu Bide, you push people too far! What men do, Heaven watches! One day, sooner or later, that retribution will fall on the Yu family's heads!"

"Haha, this Yu will be waiting for that day! Let me see where this retribution is!" Yu Bide did not take Gu Pengzhan's words to heart in the slightest. This world was a world where the strong survived; the weak being prey for the strong was an eternal truth! He laughed heartily and turned to look at Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu: "Which of you two is Gu Mengyao? You can come with me now!"

Gu Mengyao drew a deep breath, slowly rose to her feet, and a trace of resolve showed in her eyes: "I am."

"Good, then you can come with me!" Yu Bide nodded. He was fairly satisfied with Shen Yushu too, and could not help asking with some regret: "And who are you?"

"She belongs to the Chen family. If you dare touch her, you can take her back too!" Gu Mengyao looked at Yu Bide somewhat mockingly and spoke faintly.

"The Chen family?" Yu Bide's expression stalled. He suddenly recalled that the earlier investigation files showed the Chen family's granddaughter, Shen Yushu, was a good friend of Gu Pengzhan's daughter! Though the Chen family had declined, it was still one of the great families, and Yu Bide did not dare provoke them at will, so he gave a haughty laugh: "The Chen family and the Yu family have never had any grudge. Why would I seize her? It's you I'm taking!"

"If you're not afraid I'll kill your son, then take me back." Gu Mengyao lifted her head, looking at Yu Bide with the eyes of one who faced death without flinching.

Yes, Gu Mengyao was stalling for time! Just now, Xiaoshu had secretly signaled her to drag things out and wait for Brother Arrowbrand!

Though Gu Mengyao did not know why Shen Yushu had suddenly gained such great confidence, she still did as she was told! Xiaoshu might be wild and flighty, but Gu Mengyao had to admit that many things spoken from her mouth had come true! Calling her Prophet Shu was truly no exaggeration!

In truth, Shen Yushu herself did not know why she had such faith in Brother Arrowbrand. It was only that she had just heard two barks from a dog, and it suddenly reminded her of that day when General Weiwu was injured and Wei Zhao took him into the room to heal him. Before Wei Zhao came out, when General Weiwu had fully recovered, Shen Yushu had also heard two excited barks from General Weiwu — barks of joy, exactly the same as today's!

"You dare!" Hearing Gu Mengyao's words, Yu Bide's face turned somewhat ugly: "Believe it or not, I'll kill your whole family right now?"

"I don't believe it!" A voice rang out faintly. It was not loud, yet it was filled with confidence!

It was Wei Zhao! Gu Mengyao turned her head in disbelief, and sure enough, she saw Wei Zhao stepping out of the room, that faint, somewhat punchable smile on his face, and at his feet, the mighty and imposing General Weiwu.

Gu Pengzhan was startled too. He had not expected Wei Zhao to come out of the room at this moment, and to stand up for his daughter besides! Could he handle the Yu family? Gu Pengzhan was very much afraid that in their fury, the Yu family would turn on Wei Zhao as well!

Shen Yushu, however, was thrilled. She felt that her prophecy had come true again!

"Wei Zhao? You still dare come out? I thought you'd run!" Yu Bide did not take Wei Zhao seriously at all. In his view, it was already a great favor that he had not gone looking for trouble with Wei Zhao; and Wei Zhao still dared to stick his neck out? Did he really think the Yu family did not dare kill him?

"The Yu family, is it? I hear you want all the shares of Uncle Chu's Gu Corporation?" Wei Zhao ignored Yu Bide's mocking sarcasm and asked faintly.

"So what if we do? Do you have a problem with that?" Yu Bide asked coldly.

"Oh, a portion of the shares in Uncle Chu's hands belongs to me. You wanted to take them without asking me?" Wei Zhao's tone remained flat, yet it was full of the flavor of an accusation: "And you mean to drag Yaoyao back to the Yu family by force to be your concubine? Is your head full of water?"

"Wei Zhao, do you want to die?" A flame flared in Yu Bide's eyes at once. He could bear it no longer. Though his second brother had advised him not to act rashly against Wei Zhao, at this moment he wanted only to strike Wei Zhao dead beneath his palm! Even if the power behind Wei Zhao came forward to demand satisfaction, it would be Wei Zhao's own fault for meddling and bringing it on himself — what did that have to do with him?

"Whether I die or not is no concern of yours." Wei Zhao looked at Yu Bide somewhat contemptuously and said: "But I know that you are about to die. Now, I give you two choices. The first: hand over all the shares of the Yu family's auction house to me, throw in a share of your other businesses, and then send two girls from the Yu family to be my concubines! The second choice: you die!"

"Hah?" Yu Bide was so angered by Wei Zhao's words that he laughed. He had not expected Wei Zhao to dare utter such wildly greedy, brainless nonsense. Who did he think he was? Even if there was some power backing him, right now he was nothing but a cripple — and for a cripple to say such things, was he tired of living?

"Oh, Brother Arrowbrand is too awesome! I'm the little wife, and from now on I'll have concubines under me to boss around!" Shen Yushu cried out excitedly.

Gu Mengyao could not help but smile too. Wei Zhao's terms were simply the Yu family's own demands repaid double! She did not know where Wei Zhao had gotten such great confidence — could it be that his strength had recovered?

But when Gu Mengyao saw the calm, confident smile on Wei Zhao's face, the tension in her heart eased. It was over — finally over, wasn't it? Everything would be all right!

Gu Pengzhan was somewhat taken aback as well. He was no fool, and at this moment he too sensed something out of the ordinary: Wei Zhao had become forceful! And exceedingly forceful at that!

Only Yu Bide, that simpleton, had yet to realize why Wei Zhao had turned so forceful. Hatred had filled his brain, and he sneered coldly, "Aren't you afraid the wind will make your tongue flap too much? The Yu family's business, handed to you? And you want two of them? You're dreaming, aren't you? You want a Yu family woman to be your concubine? What were you thinking? Is your brain broken?"

"I'll give you three seconds to think it over!" Wei Zhao paid Yu Bide's mockery no mind at all. "The countdown starts now. Three, two..."

"No need to put on an act. I'll do the counting for you! Two point nine, two point eight, two point seven..." Yu Bide snatched the words right out of his mouth. In his view, Wei Zhao was merely putting on a show of bravado!
