Chapter 652: He’s Gu Shengrong’s Grandson?!

Chapter 652: Chapter 652: He’s Gu Shengrong’s Grandson?!

The propellers lifted off again, and Team Q was already on their way back.

The night was as dark as ink, and Dragon Ridge Island gradually shrunk to a small dot in the darkness, enigmatically nestled in the azure sea.

The Milky Way hung low, and moonlight sprinkled on the waves, casting a trail of milky haloes.

Everything was bewitchingly unreal. freewebnσvel.cѳm

The passengers aboard the aircraft had earlier been astonished by the fighter jet’s interior, eagerly looking around, already having cast aside the moments of danger they just experienced.

"How did I deserve to sit in this thing!"

"Not to mention, being chased by a ’hungry wolf’ was quite worth it."

"Thanks to the production team for letting me see what I would have never seen in my entire life."

Beneath warm military blankets, a few of them chatted in low voices in the cramped space.

The leader from before seemed to overhear their conversation and carefully moved over, passing a huge hot water bottle to everyone.

"We have limited supplies, and this is the last hot water bottle we have. Have something warm to help you relax; we’ll reach the cruise ship in five minutes."

Yu Li took the hot water bottle with continuous thanks and then saw the officer patting Zhao Lang on the shoulder with an amiable smile.

"How’s it going, not too scared, right?"

Zhao Lang chuckled, "Of course not, fortunately, Fu arrived just in time."

Bai Lu slightly raised her eyebrows, sensing something was off.

How did this Gu Yu even know this officer’s surname?

As she listened further, she felt even more that something wasn’t right.

Fu: "You’ve had a good stint of training on the island, you look even sturdier now."

Zhao Lang: "Indeed, a deserted island really puts one through the paces."

Fu: "So when will you come to visit us again? After you left last time, several lads were clamoring to spar with you again."

Zhao Lang: "I definitely will if I get the chance... But Fu, if you have time, you should also come to the Capital, my grandfather still speaks of Old Sir Gu."

Fu: "Ah, it’s the same at our place; it’s always ’Mr. Gu this, Mr. Gu that.’ Next year, I’ll bring him along for a visit to your place."

"....."

Bai Lu’s eyes grew wider and wider in astonishment.

So, this Gu Yu actually knew these people?! And they seemed to be quite close?!

She couldn’t wait to share this explosive news with everyone else, but when she turned around, she found that aside from her and Yu Li, everyone else had fallen asleep against the cabin walls.

Left with no other option, Bai Lu slowly scooted next to Yu Li and whispered excitedly, "Oh my, who exactly is this Gu Yu? He even knows officers in the military."

Yu Li was silent for a while before he couldn’t resist saying, "Do you know about the Gu Family from the Capital?"

"Which Gu Family?"

"The one ranked first on the Wealthy List."

"Oh, I know, that’s the richest man, Gu Shengrong, right? Of course, I’ve seen him on TV often."

"It’s his grandfather."

"Whose grandfather?"

Yu Li glanced at Gu Yu.

That glance practically froze Bai Lu in place, she almost shouted out loud—

"You’re saying this Gu Yu is Gu Shengrong’s grandson?!"

Yu Li quickly covered her mouth, "Keep your voice down."

"Gu Yu is indeed the biological grandson of Mr. Gu, and you know, Mr. Gu’s son died in an accident quite early, leaving him with only this one grandson."

Bai Lu’s eyeballs were about to pop out of her head.

So, the shabbily-treated young man they had bossed around was potentially a future billionaire?!

And the reality show she was on, as well as the entire island behind her, belonged to him?!

Bai Lu almost fainted from the shock upon learning this truth, her hands trembling as they clutched the hot water bottle.

"It can’t be, how did you know?"

"Oh," Yu Li said indifferently, "because our families have been friends for generations, and we played together as kids."

Bai Lu: ????!!!!

"So, you knew from the beginning that he is Gu Shengrong’s grandson?!"

No wonder!

No wonder Yu Li had been so courteous to Gu Yu from the first glance.

Coming from a family of renowned doctors and being a professor at a prestigious university, Yu Li naturally carried an inborn sense of pride. How could he possibly be so humble and deferential to just anyone?

She should have guessed it all along!

Yu Li touched his nose guiltily, "I didn’t know Gu Yu’s intention for participating in the show, and since the Gu Family had not made his identity public, I didn’t dare to be frank with all of you."

Bai Lu’s mind couldn’t keep up. It wasn’t until Zhao Lang’s gaze shifted over somberly.

"What’s wrong?"

Bai Lu took a sharp breath.

The tycoon was speaking to her!

Was that one sentence worth millions?!

And to think of the way she had bossed him around before...

Finally, her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed.

Zhao Lang was startled, "What’s wrong with her?"

Yu Li quickly supported her, grinning awkwardly, "Nothing to worry about, she’s probably just more tired than these others, reacting this late."

Zhao Lang: "....."

After boarding the ship, Zhao Lang quickly arranged for Jiang Cheng to be taken into the sanatorium and called for a military doctor from their team to be temporarily dispatched to treat his wounds.

Jiang Cheng’s wound was deep, but fortunately it didn’t damage the tendons or bones. After some cleansing and disinfection, a rabies vaccine and a tetanus shot were all he really needed.

Seeing this, Jiang Li was finally able to rest with peace of mind.

Zhao Lang also had high-end resting rooms arranged for them one by one.

Perhaps because the assistant director had caused such a big mess due to his own mistake, he was very attentive this time, taking care of everything personally, being extra careful not to miss a thing.

After all the commotion, Zhao Lang finally took a shower and changed into fresh clothes.

Once the clean suit was on, he transformed back into the Capital’s Mr. Gu, a man above ten thousand people.

"How is it going, have they found the person?"

He Pingzhang shook his head, "They’re still interrogating, but the lab results came back, just as you guessed, those wolves aren’t from Dragon Ridge Island."

Zhao Lang laughed lightly, "Then the result should be obvious."

He Pingzhang was about to say something when someone knocked on the door.

He Pingzhang glanced at Zhao Lang and said sternly, "Come in."

It was one of their men.

The man closed the door behind him and reported with his head lowered, "Mr. He, Young Master Gu, one of the boat crew members just jumped into the sea while we weren’t paying attention during the interrogation."

The two men exchanged looks.

He Pingzhang pressed, "Which crew member?"

"The one who had the altercation with Young Master Jiang when he first boarded the ship."

He Pingzhang sneered, "That should confirm it."

Then he turned to Zhao Lang, "Without evidence, it’s going to be hard to convince people."

Zhao Lang’s gaze was inscrutable as he looked at him, "Since when have I handled things so reasonably?"

But he still instructed the staff member, "Still, we need a body, dead or alive. Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, find that person for me."

"Yes!"
