Transmigrated as the fake young master, I'll beat up the scumbags and b*tches-Chapter 308Vol. 1 - - Plan
After getting out of the car, Gu ZhaoChuan quickly found an excuse to go to the restroom. Meanwhile, everyone’s attention shifted to the young man who had gotten out of the car alongside Gu WeiJun. They often interacted with the Gu family, so many people were familiar with how many members there were in the family.
However, a completely unfamiliar young man suddenly appearing in the Gu family caused quite a stir.
A number of people began whispering about this newly appeared figure.
But HuMing paid no attention to the scene in front of him. Calmly, he followed Gu WeiJun, watching as Gu ZhaoChuan disappeared around the corner.
He nudged Gu WeiJun with his elbow, prompting Gu WeiJun to turn and look at him.
"Gu ZhaoChuan’s gone."
"Yeah, I saw that. Don’t worry about him, let’s focus on securing your identity first. Your grandfather’s here, so we need to avoid causing any upset," Gu WeiJun said, still mindful of his father’s emotions.
His father had always placed great importance on these kids, and especially on HuMing. If his father were to find out that HuMing was his son, Gu WeiJun wasn't sure how he would react.
Meanwhile, Gu ZhaoChuan quickly arrived at the emergency exit. He pushed open the safety door, where he saw Shi Ren, also in a suit, leaning against a nearby fire escape pipe. When Shi Ren saw him, he slightly raised an eyebrow, a faint smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
"Gu ZhaoChuan, you seem a bit restless."
"Are you confident you can deal with HuMing too? You know, HuMing is a threat in the Gu family. If you don’t take care of him, your plan won’t succeed easily."
Seeing Gu ZhaoChuan’s anxious expression, Shi Ren remained unfazed. He pulled out his phone and checked the time. It wasn’t even seven yet, still too early.
He looked up at Gu ZhaoChuan again, and with a calm tone said,
"I don’t need to deal with HuMing. You should know how dangerous he is. I’m not going to take unnecessary risks with someone who doesn’t pose a threat to me. And Gu ZhaoChuan, you’re practically wearing your anxiety on your face. In this state, HuMing will play you like a fiddle."
Shi Ren pointed at Gu ZhaoChuan’s head.
He didn’t want a partner with a simple mind. Even though he and Gu ZhaoChuan were merely collaborators, tonight’s operation would determine whether "Blizzard" would end in ruin. Therefore, Shi Ren couldn’t afford any mistakes.
"HuMing will have plenty of chances to take action. Besides, why the rush? You’re Gu WeiJun’s son. As long as your identity hasn’t been exposed, you have a chance to push him down. But you need to stay calm."
After hearing Shi Ren’s words, Gu ZhaoChuan’s earlier urgency slowly subsided. He had to admit, Shi Ren had a point.
"I trust you. I’ll keep Gu WeiJun and the others occupied and buy you time to escape."
"That’s the spirit. Let’s go."
Gu ZhaoChuan straightened his clothes and stepped out, leaving the safety corridor empty except for Shi Ren.
Shi Ren took out his phone again and checked the time. Then, he closed his eyes, seemingly falling into a state of deep thought.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps echoed through the safety corridor.
Shi Ren opened his eyes and saw a girl staring at him from the stairs on the lower floor.
She had an indifferent expression, her steps steady.
As he observed her, she was also studying him.
And as he looked at her face, Shi Ren’s memory clicked—she was HuMing’s maid, the one who had been with him since childhood. Her name was Kang Xin.
However, Shi Ren couldn’t find any information on Kang Xin from before. He only knew that she had been taken in and raised by the Han family. No one knew about her past. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
He had, however, heard that Kang Xin was quite strong, which might make her a potential threat.
Still, she walked right past him and entered the venue.
…
This hotel was a designated venue for these wealthy families to host banquets. Its decoration was extravagant and spacious, and the service was excellent. Many people were used to holding events here.
Kang Xin glanced around and then found a quiet corner to stand.
She was wearing a dress that Mo QingXia had prepared for her. Mo QingXia wanted her to attend the banquet, as she was a part of HuMing’s inner circle. Even Kang Xin had to admit that Mo QingXia was very generous and kind to her.
But Kang Xin still chose to attend on her own. It wasn’t just because appearing alongside HuMing would attract too much attention, but also because she had an important task. To carry out this task, she felt it was best to keep a low profile.
The food at the banquet was plentiful, and Kang Xin casually picked up a plate of fruit before scanning the crowd for HuMing.
She saw HuMing whispering with his grandfather, and whatever HuMing had said made his grandfather laugh heartily.
Gu ZhaoChuan was standing beside HuMing, seemingly waiting for him to finish.
Kang Xin moved her gaze slightly, but then froze in place.
She had spotted that woman again—the one who had walked out of the cemetery. At that moment, Kang Xin had passed by her, and she remembered the woman’s face clearly.
The woman walked up behind Gu WeiJun, patted his shoulder, and Gu WeiJun turned around in surprise, his expression one of helplessness.
"Do you know that woman?" A voice sounded beside Kang Xin.
Kang Xin instinctively turned her head, furrowing her brows. It was the same guy from the safety corridor earlier!
She hadn’t heard him approach—when had he appeared by her side?
Kang Xin didn’t answer, but her eyes were fixed on him.
Shi Ren’s gaze was locked onto Bai XingQi, his hands folded, his eyes sharp.
"That woman is the true head of the Bai family. Everything about Bai Yongkang is nonsense. And she is also the true mistress of ‘Blizzard.’"
"Do you know how many lives are in her hands? When she was a child, she didn’t spare even a single girl. Do you understand how cruel this is?"
Hearing Shi Ren’s words, Kang Xin’s mind flashed back to that silhouette.
She felt a momentary disorientation. Looking at Bai XingQi, she felt as though she had encountered someone from her past.
Could it really be her?
Kang Xin questioned herself inside.
Shi Ren watched Kang Xin’s confused expression, a faint smile curling at his lips.
Even if he couldn’t sway HuMing, he could still influence the people around him.
As long as he could delay HuMing, that was enough.
"Are you telling me all this for a reason?" Kang Xin’s cold voice interrupted Shi Ren’s thoughts.
Shi Ren’s smile slowly faded. He stared at Kang Xin for a while before giving a soft grunt and turning to leave.
