It’s just that Fifth Lord of Gu is too outstanding; to be honest, it sounds like boasting.

"By the way," Ye Xingbei suddenly thought of something, "What mistake did Wan Chong make to be dismissed? Was it a conduct issue?"

Gu Junzhu tilted his head to look at her: "Why do you ask that?"

Ye Xingbei said, "Because he looks like such a playboy!"

Gu Junzhu found it amusing, "What does a playboy look like?"

"Just like Wan Chong and Ah Zui!" Ye Xingbei said, "They’re so good-looking, and their charisma is quite captivating. If they wanted to deceive young girls, just a beckon would have a whole bunch of them flocking over, making it too easy to commit conduct errors."

"You’re overthinking it," Gu Junzhu said, "Even the mosquitoes around him are mostly male, so how could he make any conduct mistakes?"

"That’s not necessarily true," Ye Xingbei pouted, "Didn’t Brother Chuan almost commit a conduct mistake?"

Fortunately, Zhan Jinchuan got the certificate with Siao Fengqian before they got into bed, otherwise, it would definitely have been a conduct mistake.

"Brother Chuan is in a different league; there’s no comparison between Wan Chong and him," Gu Junzhu said, "Wan Chong didn’t commit a conduct mistake, he was set up."

"Hmm?" Ye Xingbei asked curiously, "Set up?"

She was a bit surprised, "Someone actually dared to plot against your people, Gu Junzhu?"

Gu Junzhu said, "If he were still serving under me, of course, no one would dare, but didn’t I step down?"

"..." Ye Xingbei poked his shoulder, "I was being sarcastic, didn’t you catch it? Was I not sarcastic enough? You actually answered me seriously!"

Gu Junzhu grabbed her hand, pulling her into his embrace, "Ye Xiaobei, you’re getting cheekier. Do I need to teach you a lesson?"

"You wouldn’t dare!" Ye Xingbei laughed as she pushed him away: "Who set him up? The person who did must be suffering now, right?"

Fifth Lord of Gu is fiercely protective.

From the way he interacts with Wan Chong, it’s clear Gu Junzhu has a strong bond with him. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

With Wan Chong being set up, there’s no way Fifth Lord of Gu would stand by idly.

He is definitely going to take revenge for Wan Chong.

"Not yet, but they will face it eventually," Gu Junzhu smiled faintly, "I can’t meddle in his matters as long as Wan Chong is part of the organization, so many things can only be done after he’s completely dismissed."

"I understand." Ye Xingbei nodded, knowing it’s a very special place where Gu Junzhu avoids touching anything related to avoid criticisms, "So what exactly was Wan Chong’s mistake that got him dismissed?"

"He accidentally injured someone," Gu Junzhu’s voice turned colder, "Wan Chong is Senior Master Wan’s grandson. Does Senior Master Wan know?"

Ye Xingbei asked, "Senior Master of the Beijing Wan Family?"

Gu Junzhu nodded, "Yes."

Ye Xingbei nodded, "Then I understand."

There are many people with the surname Wan, but when it comes to the Beijing Wan Family, it refers to the biggest jewelry family in Beijing.

The Wan Family’s financial strength ranks among the top twenty in Beijing.

Ye Xingbei is currently considered half a Beijing native and can speak roughly about those in the top twenty families, if not in detail.

"The Wan Family’s financial strength ranks in the top twenty in Beijing, which is really impressive," Ye Xingbei asked, "Why would Senior Master Wan allow Wan Chong to join the military? Does he have many grandsons?"
