CHAPTER 460: CHAPTER 460 THE SO-CALLED RELATIVES

Ji Yu naturally understood this reasoning as well.

It’s just that she found it truly hard to accept what those people had done.

"They’ve already gone to this extent; I don’t think they still see you as family."

Perhaps in their hearts, Hu Jianyu was merely a competitor for their interests.

"They are hell-bent on killing you, yet you still consider them as your family. This truly is an unsolvable dilemma."

Hu Jianyu valued familial ties too much.

That’s why he ended up in such a sorry state.

"I know you might feel that what I’m doing is terrible, but this is how I truly feel inside." Hu Jianyu was left with no alternative; he was fully aware of his inner thoughts and couldn’t bring himself to confront his relatives.

"Dad, if you really can’t bring yourself to do it, let me handle them. I know all they’ll remember is that you took everything from them, not the good you’ve done for them."

If they’re not dealt with now, they’ll only become more ruthless later. It’s not as if situations like this haven’t happened before.

"This time, they’ve already gone so far as to want you dead. Just think, if they truly succeeded, would I still have the chance to see you again?"

Ji Yu wasn’t trying to instill some special ideology; she simply felt that the current circumstances warranted teaching them a lesson.

"Since I’ve already decided to hand over the company to you, you can handle it however you choose. Just spare their lives—they’re still my family after all."

As he said this, his voice choked with emotion.

He likely hadn’t expected that all these years of treating them kindly would lead to this result.

"Dad, you need to understand that sometimes, giving doesn’t necessarily mean receiving in return. Take this situation as an example—their behavior is the problem, not that you didn’t do enough."

If it were anyone else, they’d probably be ecstatic, inheriting so much wealth without lifting a finger. Yet they treated Hu Jianyu this way.

"Enough, enough... I don’t want to keep talking about them. Maybe it’s because I’m getting old that I’ve become so sentimental."

Hu Jianyu had likely made his peace with this matter, given that they had lived together for so many years.

"They weren’t like this before. I could feel their sincerity toward me back then. But somehow, at some point, money became the most important thing in their hearts."

Maybe it was after the old man passed away.

"It feels like I only have you, my daughter left. If I couldn’t even find you, I wouldn’t know what to do." Just the thought of these things chilled his heart.

"Dad, not everything is so grim. People always experience some joy in life." Ji Yu reflected on everything that had occurred recently and recognized the psychological burden he might have endured.

"I’m fine; I’m mainly worried about you." He looked at his daughter struggling daily with matters of the heart, and his own heart ached. How could someone as exceptional as her suffer because of love?

"Yu, you’re so outstanding; don’t let yourself get trapped by feelings. Look at me now—isn’t it better to keep moving forward?"

After all, their separation wasn’t truly caused by them as individuals.

"You’ll have another chance in the future."

As long as life continued and death didn’t separate them, anything was possible.

Ji Yu didn’t know what else to say.

But given how far things had come,

there really wasn’t any need for further encounters.

"I’ve made it very clear to him; he should understand my intentions, right?"

In fact, Gu Qixiao had spent this time investigating the remedy for the drug he’d produced.

He knew his presence might weigh heavily on Ji Yu psychologically.

So it was better to resolve the issue in this way—perhaps it could more effectively address the problems between them.

"President Gu, Miss Ji has actually searched multiple times before, but most people haven’t even heard of it."

Which proved that the drug was too novel; many were unaware of its functions.

"What’s the deal with Jiang Huai? He’s part of that organization."

His final sentence came as a definitive statement.

"That’s correct, he is part of that organization. Usually, he’s the one developing new drugs." This organization was best known for its pharmaceutical research.

Gu Qixiao raised an eyebrow, his thoughts gradually forming a clearer picture—it seemed Jiang Huai really was problematic.

"If I remember correctly, their organization just recently changed its heir."

Under these circumstances, they could engage in discussions to see if Jiang Huai might be the right starting point.

"Dealing with people like them is inherently dangerous, and Jiang Huai is already eyeing you hungrily. What if he discovers an opportunity this time around?"

No one could guarantee that their venture this time would be safe.

"It’s okay. I’ve thought it through." Gu Qixiao was willing to take a bit of risk to avoid living his life in lonely uncertainty, even if he understood everything yet still couldn’t recall it.

To him, this was worse than death.

"Besides, how could I die so easily?" He planned to return alive—to marry Ji Yu.

Assistant Li didn’t know what to say, but seeing Gu Qixiao’s expression, it was clear he had made up his mind. He decided to stop meddling.

"President Gu, please don’t let anything happen to you; otherwise, this matter will end up being blamed on me." While Assistant Li spoke these words with a bitter smile, as if joking, he was utterly sincere.

Before arriving here, they had already been warned about this matter. Yet he couldn’t help but reveal it to Gu Qixiao.

This meant more trouble ahead, especially with the risks they were about to face.

"Don’t worry. Even if something happens to me, no one could hold you accountable for it here. I wouldn’t allow anyone to shift the blame onto you."

He wasn’t the type to drag others down.
