The parcel did not contain the sender’s name.
Inside the parcel was a piece of crucial information and a USB drive containing a video. The video showed Gu Bei at the beach instructing several men to dispose of Number Four’s body into the sea. It was clearly an incriminating piece of evidence.
Just as Bai Yinning was in the midst of investigating Gu Bei, he somehow received evidence of Gu Bei’s crime at his doorstep.
He could not figure out who had sent the parcel to him even after racking his brains for a long time.
His first instinct was to rule out Zong Jinghao since the man evidently did not want to meet with him.
However, it was indeed Zong Jinghao who had sent him the parcel.
Although Zong Jinghao did not have a liking for Bai Yinning, the former decided that it was an advantageous time to make use of the man.
After all, one of Zong Jinghao’s common practices was to use others to achieve his end goals.
He did not view the enemy of his enemy as his friend, but he could certainly use that person as a tool.
He knew very well that Bai Yinning wouldn’t hold back after suffering at the hands of Gu Bei.
If Gu Bei struck one of his men, he wouldn’t hold back either.
Even though now wasn’t the best time to strike back, he was still going to do it, just like how Gu Bei had framed Shen Peichuan in the past.
Now that Old Master Gu’s past actions were revealed, it would be difficult for him to escape the law since all eyes were on him.
If the evidence of Gu Bei’s crimes were exposed at this moment, it would be adding fuel to the fire.
Zong Jinghao believed Bai Yinning would be smart enough to know what to do next.
If things went as planned, Bai Yinning would be curious to know who sent him the parcel, and he would not pass up on such a good opportunity to take revenge on Gu Bei.
The man would definitely strike while the iron was hot.
After laying eyes on the evidence, Bai Yinning did not look for the person who sent the parcel. Instead, he went searching for the several men in the video.
He was prepared to interrogate them using various means until they were willing to confess, and he planned to record their confession just in case they pleaded innocence during trial.
After gathering sufficient evidence, Bai Yinning set out on his search for the person who had sent him the parcel.
Who would dare rat Gu Bei out so easily? This is indeed the perfect time to add fuel to the fire.
Politics and the marketplace were similar in the sense that they were both battlefields without guns. People were all fighting for their own self-interests.
The day after Old Master Gu’s scandal was exposed, the Prosecutors’ Office immediately detained Gu Bei.
Major news outlets received word of this supposedly confidential matter and rushed to Gu Bei’s house, hoping to get some pictures of him being arrested.
If what happened that day was shocking, today’s incident was even more mind-boggling.
Since the public was already speculating whether Gu Bei committed any immoral deeds as his father did, it was an opportune time for Bai Yinning to expose the video of Gu Bei dumping a dead body into the ocean.
After all, things had already developed to an irreversible point at this stage.
The person in charge of investigating Gu Bei’s case issued a statement saying that investigations will only commence after a report is received.
At the same time, the authenticity of the video was yet to be verified, leaving the public in further speculation.
Since the Internet was very advanced these days, news about Gu Bei would easily spread like wildfire, and most people would believe what they see rather than process facts rationally.
So, just like that, a biased narrative of Gu Bei emerged on the Internet.
Disparaging comments surfaced as netizens condemned both Old Master Gu and Gu Bei.
A comment which received five hundred thousand likes stated: Like father, like son. Gu Bei is definitely crooked like his father.
Another user commented: Evil runs in their bloodline. Such people should be castrated to prevent their genes from being passed on to the next generation.
And someone replied to that comment: You’re absolutely right.
That thread was followed with dozens of other comments: He should be the one dumped into the ocean and fed to the sharks.
It’s no surprise that they are father and son. They are an absolute match.
Hurry up and shoot this scumbag already.
I heard that Gu Bei was spoilt by his father. See, it’s clear that children should not be spoiled and pampered.
Having six sisters, Gu Bei is the only son in the family. He must be spoilt rotten and used to always getting everything his way. He gets involved in all sorts of businesses. Even the nightclub on Central Avenue belongs to him.
Someone replied to that: How do you know?
The earlier commenter replied: I worked in that nightclub before, so I know of some insider news.
Another person replied: What else do you know? Tell us.
The original commenter: There was a murder case involving a young lady in that nightclub. She was a newcomer who did not play by the rules of the club. After Gu Bei messed around with her, he decided to kill her.
The first reply soon came: No way. That’s so inhuman.
Then, the second reply: This guy deserves to be cut into a thousand pieces.
Then the third: Do you have any evidence?
The original commenter retorted almost immediately, commenting: Of course I do.
Show it to us.
I don’t dare to. I’m afraid Gu Bei’s men might come after me if I do.
A user then stated: We will protect you. Just show it to us.
The original commenter then sent an emoji of a scared face.
You have our support.
Yes, yes. Quickly, show it to us.
After everyone’s curiosity peaked, the original commenter finally replied to the thread: Ok, I’ll post it now. Please forward it and share it with everyone you know. The more people you show it to, the safer I’ll be.
The other netizens replied: Don’t worry. We will.
That very moment, the original commenter posted a three-minute video showing a woman’s thighs. It was recorded in a cryptic surrounding. People could barely tell where it had been taken.
The content of the video set the netizens abuzz.
Back in the Gu family’s home, the Gu sisters were caught off guard when the video surfaced on the Internet. Before they could even find a solution for their father’s predicament, their younger brother was detained by the authorities again.
Overwhelmed by the development of events, Mrs. Gu passed out instantly.
Now that both the patriarch and matriarch of the family were down, the rest of the Gu family was in a mess.
Meanwhile, Zhou Huaihou summoned Bai Yinning to his study after the former returned to the Zhou family’s residence. No one else was allowed to enter the room.
“Were you the one who stirred up trouble for Gu Bei?” Zhou Huaihou asked. Although he expressed his words in the form of a question, it sounded as though he was sure that Bai Yinning was the person responsible.
For the last few days, Bai Yinning had stayed out until late at night, and he had also been in close contact with several of his associates.
Without trying to hide anything, Bai Yinning answered, “Did I do anything wrong?”
Zhou Huaihou kept quiet.
“You know it’s true. That’s why you have nothing to say back to me. I won’t hide anything from you, but please don’t tell Huixin,” Bai Yinning looked at him and said candidly.
No matter what, Gu Bei was still his Gu Huixin’s younger brother, and Zhou Huaihou didn’t want to be in conflict with his wife because of this matter.
So he sighed and said, “Alright, I won’t tell her.”
Bai Yinning then expressed in a sincere tone, “Dad, I’m not a perfect person, but I have to try my best in whatever I do so that I don’t let my subordinates down.”
“I understand,” Zhou Huaihou responded.
He knew that a boss who protected his employees would make them feel safe.
“Gu Bei wouldn’t be able to escape the long arm of the law. No one else will be able to bring him down if not for the law,” Bai Yinning stated.
