Chapter 440: The Person Behind The Shop Is A Bigshot - 4

Gu Min had always heard people talking about how unpredictable the world was, but this was the first time he really felt the true effect of the phrase. A second ago, he was in seventh heaven, pouring scorn on the poor shop owner of “Definitely Not A Dishonest Shop”, then in the next second, he was nearly beaten to death by his own father.

Unlike the other aristocratic families in the capital like the Li Family, the Ouyang Family, or the Jiang Family that had more than 100 years of history, the Gu Family was kind of normal. Before Gu Hao, all of them were farmers and Gu Min’s great-grandfather was a bandit.

Even though Gu Hao had brought the Gu Family’s wealth to a whole new level through the game “Glory”, he still had the hooligan gene flowing in him.

However, no matter how Gu Min thought about it, he still could not figure out why would his father beat him up for a money-cheating shop owner.

As a movie critic, Gu Min had watched a lot of movies and something popped into his mind.

“Dad, you are not keeping a woman behind my back, aren’t you? Is she my half-sister?”

After hearing what his son had said, Gu Hao did not stop swing his machete, instead, he brandished it with a newfound strength as he snarled, “How dare you try to ruin my business. Not only that, but you also made your own father look like an ingrate? For this alone, it wouldn’t be enough even if you offer your apology with death!”

Gu Min became speechless.

He was nearly beaten to death by his father, but he spared him in the end. After all, he still needed to apologize to Fu Zhi.

Gu Hao asked Gu Min to stay still on the floor. He then took a few pictures of his son and sent them to Fu Zhi before leaving the room.

After his father had left, Gu Min slowly got up from the floor. With his heart still beating fast in his chest, he logged into his Taobao and sent a message to Fu Zhi.

[Hey, are you still there, sis?]

Fu Zhi reminded, [I’m your mother.]

[Didn’t you say you don’t have a bad son like me?] Gu Min replied.

[I don’t want you and that’s my business, but it doesn’t mean that you can forget who I am to you.]

[But how did you know my father? He even calls you our family’s guardian angel. Besides, all the medicines you sell are real?]

[Yeah.]

Gu Min felt he was an idiot after receiving the answer from Fu Zhi. If he had known about it earlier and if he believed in Fu Zhi, he would be spared of the beatings.

After he had apologized to Fu Zhi, he closed the shop and bought a few bottles of the Beauty Pills and Mind-cleansing Pills to Mu Chenxi.

There were a lot more shops in Taobao that sold fake medicines using Fu Zhi’s shop name. As Fu Zhi’s faithful fan, Gu Hao felt that he should do something about it. After all, not only would it take a lot of time for Fu Zhi to get rid of every one of them, but there was also a good chance that she would come across an idiot like his son.

As a rich person, an elite of the upper class, he made a call to the boss of the APP and told him about the matter.

On that day, the few shops that sold fake medicines were gone and Fu Zhi’s shop was put in the first page of Taobao by the staff.

The reason Gu Hao came home was to punish his son. Since he had done his job, he had to return to his work. When he walked past the luggage, he asked, “Where are you going this time?”

“I’m going to Yu City.”

Gu Hao stopped in his tracks as he turned. “Yu City?” He studied his son from his head to his toe before continuing, “There are a lot of elite families Yu City, so what are you doing there?”

‘A lot of elites families? Yu City? How are there any chances there would be an elite family in a small town like Yu City?’

That said, he still answered his father’s question. “I’m going there for a gathering, and I will be back soon.”

“Anyway, don’t you dare do any silly things there,” Gu Hao warned, “Our company has come across some troubles recently, and your uncle hasn’t finished with the pirated game yet. When you’re in Yu City, and if you run into Fu… Forget it, just make sure you don’t offend any of the Lus, you hear me?”

Gu Min nodded. He vaguely remembered Mu Chenxi had told him before that her best friend was in the reformatory and her name was Lu something.

He wondered if she had something to do with the Lu Family that his father told him about.

Gu Min then decided to call Gu Yanqi and asked him about the Lu Family.

At the same time, Gu Yanqi was doing something with his laptop.

Sitting beside him, Jiang Jinshu was helping Fu Zhi to do her homework. He took a glance at Gu Yanqi and asked, “Twitch App? Nowadays, which live-streamers don’t use filters when they’re live-streaming? I can assure you that they are not even half as good-looking as that little rascal above us.”

“At least gaming streamers know what they are doing. It’s better than asking a celebrity who knows nothing about the game to do the job.”

The Gu Family indeed was facing some troubles lately. Several years ago, with the help of several bigshots, Gu Hao released the game “Glory” into the market, and because of this, the Gu Family became one of the elites families in the capital. Many people were jealous of Gu Hao’s success, including his own siblings. Gu Yanqi’s uncle was the one amongst the Gus who envied Gu Hao the most. He always thought he was better than Gu Hao and he wanted to set up his own organization. As such, he cooperated with a few foreigners behind his family back and came up with the game “Monarch”, a pirated version of “Glory”.

Monarch had the same mode of game and skills as Glory. It was just that their heroes were prettier and more realistic than Glory.

If it were other people, they would have been sued in court, but Gu Hao’s brother was different. He was Old Master Gu and Madam Gu’s favorite son, so Gu Hao could not do anything to him.

However, there was no way Gu Hao would allow the pirated version of Glory to exist in this world, so he kept pressing Old Master Gu and Madam Gu.

Therefore, the two oldest members of the Gu Family came up with an idea. Since their eldest son felt that he was better than Gu Hao and he only needed a chance to prove himself, they suggested having a match between “Monarch” and “Glory”. Whichever games received more players on Chinese New Year’s Eve and that person would be the president of the Gu Corporation.

The winner made the rules, and losers lived by them. Everyone understood this statement, so Old Master Gu and Madam Gu wanted their eldest son to win.

Gu Yanqi’s uncle assured them that he had a plan. He was going to invite the most famous E-sports team from Country M and Country M to be the ambassadors of Monarch. He was going to make good use of their influence to attract their fans to join Monarch, and then the victory would be in the bag.

Truth be told, it was a good move, so Gu Yanqi and Gu Hao had to come out with a better plan to counter him.

“This girl is pretty good. Her name is Master Fu? Although she has never shown her face before, she has good skills and she has quite a number of fans. Maybe we can try to ask her to have a solo match with them on Chinese New Year’s Eve.”

Jiang Jinshu pouted, “Are you sure she can handle the job? After all, it would make us look really bad if we lose the match on Chinese New Year’s Eve.”

“I don’t expect her to win at all. I just hope that she’s pretty and she can last a bit longer during the match to promote our game…”
