Capítulo 871: Chapter 871: The Will

“Are you sure you want to stop me?”

Gong Chen looked coldly at the bodyguards.

They were all the master’s trusted aides and were equally afraid of Gong Chen.

As they hesitated, the study door opened.

Gong Yao came out.

He raised his hand to stop Gong Chen: “Third Brother, Dad said he’s tired and doesn’t want to see guests.”

“Guests?” Gong Chen questioned.

“Third Brother, that’s what Dad said. I’m just passing the message. If you have anything to say, I can relay it for you.”

“Gong Yao, do you remember what I told you?” Gong Chen asked very calmly.

“What?”

Gong Yao clearly didn’t remember.

Gong Chen’s dark eyes were unfathomable, as if no light could penetrate them.

“Think about it carefully.”

After speaking, Gong Chen turned and left.

He immediately noticed Lin Zhiyi hiding in the corner.

Based on this alone, Lin Zhiyi didn’t believe he couldn’t see through Gong Yao’s intentions.

Or perhaps Gong Chen was also doing it on purpose.

Following Gong Chen out of the house, she jogged to catch up.

“Third Young Master, were you doing it on purpose?”

“Yes.” Gong Chen readily admitted, “If he doesn’t get proud, how will he proceed with the next step?”

“That’s true… wait.” Lin Zhiyi thought of something and grabbed him, “But he’ll be even harsher on the old man, right?”

“Yes.”

Gong Chen expressionlessly straightened his suit.

Lin Zhiyi’s eyes widened slightly: “You want the old man to suffer, huh?”

“If he hadn’t had a bastard child, this wouldn’t have happened, serves him right.”

“Pfft.”

Lin Zhiyi stifled a laugh.

The old man really brought it on himself.

…

Study.

Gong Yao returned to the study cheerfully.

At this point, a thick document was spread out in front of the old man, just waiting for his signature.

Gong Yao walked over and directly threw down a pen.

“Dad, sign it.”

The old man glanced at the words on it, a will.

He snorted coldly: “Gong Yao, I’m not dead yet, and you can’t wait any longer?”

Gong Yao chuckled lightly: “Dad, I’m just being cautious. Aren’t I the one you favor the most? Then leave everything to me, that way you won’t have to worry about Gong Chen monopolizing everything. Nor do you have to worry about the Jiang Family taking advantage of Gong Chen.”

The old man closed his eyes: “I won’t sign it.”

Gong Yao’s eyes became a bit more menacing.

“Dad, I advise you to sign it, it will be good for both you and me.”

“What if I don’t sign?”

The old man stared at Gong Yao.

Gong Yao turned and handed over pills and water.

“Dad, take your medicine first. After you take it, we can talk slowly. I believe you will sign it.”

“I won’t take it!”

The old man’s face turned ashen, raising his hand to refuse Gong Yao’s approach.

But how could he be a match for Gong Yao?

Gong Yao directly twisted his arm, speaking harshly: “Dad, you must have already felt the changes in your body, right?”

“You…”

“You can’t live without my medicine now. If you want to feel a little better, you must take it, otherwise…” Gong Yao, thinking of Gong Chen’s failure, deepened his smile, “Gong Chen won’t save you, he hates you too much, now everyone in the Gong family is on my side, if Dad wants a peaceful retirement, it’s better to sign it.”

“I won’t… ugh…”

Before the old man could finish speaking, his expression changed drastically.

He wanted to break free from Gong Yao’s grip, but Gong Yao wouldn’t let him, just watching him in pain from a height.

“Gong Yao, why are you doing this to me? Haven’t I been good enough to you?”

“Good? Hahaha, that’s a big joke!”

As Gong Yao spoke, he even laughed out loud.

He approached the old man: “Your wife has been dead for so many years, why are you unwilling to give my mother and me a proper place? Finally, you let me enter the Gong family as a bastard child?”

“The Gong family is complicated. If I had revealed your identity early, it would have been detrimental to you too.” The old man explained.

“Excuses! All excuses! Why could Big Brother and Second Brother? All in all, what you care about most is yourself, you’re afraid your adultery will be discovered. If it weren’t for restraining Gong Chen, you wouldn’t have acknowledged me.”

The old man said, “No, otherwise, why would I let you receive the heir’s education?”

Gong Yao stared at him: “Since it’s heir’s education, what does it matter if Dad gives everything to me? Or do you still prefer Gong Chen and want to abandon me?”

“…”

The old man stayed silent.

Gong Yao: “I guessed it right, you already had evidence of me being manipulated by the Bai Family, but you watched me being used by them. Back then, you made me kidnap the twins to leave evidence, just to gain the Bai Family’s trust, wasn’t it?”

The old man endured the pain, unable to say a word.

Gong Yao: “Why are you silent? I was right. Both Gong Chen and I are your pawns. You’re a heartless person. Since that’s the case, why shouldn’t I fight for myself? I’ll certainly do better than Gong Chen!”

The old man mocked: “Haven’t I given you a chance? But you’re so incompetent, not even a tenth of Gong Chen, you’ll never match him!”

“Shut up! It seems that Dad, you don’t want to take the medicine anymore, then stay in pain.”

Gong Yao took a step back.

Pain swept through the old man’s body, and he fell from the chair to the ground.

In the end, he couldn’t stand it and extended his hand towards Gong Yao.

“Give me the medicine, give me the medicine…”

Gong Yao squatted down, smiling: “Will you sign or not?”

The old man’s hands trembled slightly: “I’ll sign, I’ll sign.”

“It would’ve been better if you did this earlier.”

Gong Yao helped the old man up, stuffing the pen into his hand.

“Sign it.”

Gritting his teeth, the old man signed his name.

Gong Yao then shoved the medicine into the old man’s mouth.

After obtaining the will, he looked at it with satisfaction for a while.

Ignoring the old man on the ground, he turned and left the study.

The old man raised his eyes, staring at his back, then supported himself on the table to sit back in the chair.

Straight-backed and serious.

…

Gong Yao left the Gong Mansion, where Fu Xiuzhu, who couldn’t wait, had already exited the car and ran over.

“How did it go?”

Gong Yao raised the document in his hand with a smile.

He showed it not only to Fu Xiuzhu, but also to Bai Ruoshu and Yang Jingwei in the car.

They had been here waiting for news for some time.

Once they got hold of the will, everything would be much easier.

Gong Yao walked to the car, tapped and looked at the two people inside.

“Mom, we can start now.”

“I knew you’d succeed.” Yang Jingwei looked at her son-in-law with satisfaction.

Gong Yao turned to look at the vast Gong Mansion.

“This place finally belongs to me.”

…

The next day.

Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen received a message from Captain Xing.

With the information she got from Liu He, the pills soon yielded results.

Still, the components were ones Lin Zhiyi couldn’t even pronounce.

Captain Xing said, “This drug is even more potent than the ones the old man takes. My colleague said it seems to be for some specific component research, a semi-finished product. Accidentally ingesting it won’t kill, but it will leave one crippled. Are they planning to use this on the old man?”

Gong Chen frowned slightly: “No, it doesn’t make sense.”

“Then who is this drug intended for?”
