Chapter 249: Chapter 250 The Truth Behind My Father’s Suicide 4

With each page of the document she finished, her heart sank a little more, until it reached the icy depths of despair.

"How could it be like this?" she murmured in disbelief.

"No, this is not true, not... not..."

"It is true," Yan Ruyu asserted.

"Back then, Gu Shijie was your father’s best friend, whom your father trusted a great deal, leaving many matters in his hands.

Little did anyone know that Gu Shijie was ambitious and intent on swallowing the Mo Family empire whole, so he secretly colluded with the underworld forces in Y and N, laundering the Mo family’s funds into dirty money.

He then leaked this information, causing the Mo family’s stock to plummet to its lowest point overnight.

Not only that, but your father also had to face an investigation by the prosecutor’s office. Even if he was unaware, all the charges would still fall upon his head, ultimately leading him to a dead end. That’s why, in his despair, your father shot himself.

After your father’s death, the Mo Family was acquired by the Gu Family, and the stocks began to rise again, with the Gu Family eventually becoming the biggest financial group in W City.

In fact, the Gu Family’s success today owes a large part to the absorption of your father’s Mo Family empire."

The Gu Shijie that Yan Ruyu spoke of was the deceased father of Gu Yixuan.

"You’re lying to me, I’ve never even heard of such a thing!" Mo Ran said heatedly, unwilling to take her word for it.

"Do you think you can make me believe you by making up these stories? By using me to strike at Gu Yixuan? You’re completely mistaken! I have nothing to do with Gu Yixuan, I won’t have any impact on him!"

"I’m not lying to you, all of this is true. These documents are from over a decade ago, can’t you see that?"

Mo Ran sneered, "With the advancements in technology these days, who knows if you’ve forged them."

Yan Ruyu snorted coldly, "I neither have the time to forge such things nor the need to! Whether it’s true or not, you can just ask Gu Yixuan; he knows about it too. Not many people know of this, but every member of the Gu family does!"

Mo Ran’s eyes widened in shock, her mouth opened, but she found herself at a loss for words to refute her.

Yan Ruyu gave her a faint glance and spoke slowly, "I’m telling you all this because I don’t want to see you with the son of your enemy. Even though Gu Shijie is dead, if not for the Gu Family, your Mo Family would not have ended up broken and destitute."
