When his father persuaded him to cooperate with the plan and had him hit by a car and taken away, that was indeed what he said.
He came from the Su family and was certainly not a foolish person. He instantly understood why Gu Shiyan brought him here today.
Sneering, he retorted, “Do you want to use me to force the Su family to appear and negotiate with you?”
“No, I’m waiting for them to send someone to kill you and silence you,” Gu Shiyan said, looking down at the sachet in his hand.
Sarcastically, Su Muyan replied, “Gu Shiyan, just a moment ago, I thought you were incredibly smart. But now you’re trying to sow discord between me and the Su family. Isn’t this move too foolish?”
Gu Shiyan didn’t answer his question but continued, “The temple they sent you to is known for its corpse refining techniques. Over the years, you’ve been soaking in corpse water and taking various drugs, which are just part of their corpse refining techniques. The Su family sent you there to exchange your life for their assistance. The person who was meant to undergo the fortune transfer was your father, not you. The presidential election, which takes place every four years, is about to happen. Your father has been building momentum for himself for the past two years. Only you still naively believe that you are the lucky one they have chosen and favored.”
Ever since he was young, he knew that his birth date and fortune were extraordinary. Shen Qinghe and his grandmother had both said that when he was born, there were celestial phenomena, and such a destiny was extremely noble. If placed in troubled times, it meant ascending to the top. Even in modern society, if he really had such aspirations, it was not impossible.
It was not surprising that someone would target his birth date and fortune. Considering the actions of the Su family in the past two years, it was not difficult to guess their true intentions.
“Tsk, the Su family is so malicious and shameless. If they want to become the president, they should rely on their own abilities and participate in the election. How dare they come to harm you and plunder your fortune!” Tang MO Chen looked at Su Muyan with disgust, wishing he could drag all the members of the Su family out and execute them a hundred times!
However, Gu Shiyan remained unfazed. Some ordinary people with unique birthdates might be targeted, let alone someone with his heaven-defying birthdate.
“Gu Shiyan, stop talking nonsense. You’re saying all this to make me retaliate against the Su family and overthrow them for revenge, aren’t you? I’m telling you, you’re dreaming,” Su Muyan said, his face darkening.
However, even though he said this, he was gradually starting to waver.
He had been staying in the temple for so many years, and his health was indeed deteriorating. The head monk in the temple, Grandma Long, had always told him that it was to prevent conflicts between his fortune and Gu Shiyan’s fortune, which was why they deliberately weakened his body and fortune. After the transfer plan succeeded, he would fully possess Gu Shiyan’s life and fortune, and his health would be restored.
But now, there were indeed many doubts in his mind.
Gu Shiyan was not surprised by his reaction at all. After all, he had been deceived for so many years. If he suddenly told him the completely opposite truth, no one would believe it.
He said calmly,” Those masters who came to help them have all been silenced by them. You are the only evidence. The Su family had been building up momentum for the presidential election for a long time. Even if the luck transfer plan did not succeed, they would not give up. In order to prevent troubles, they would definitely come to silence him.”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone knocked on the door from the outside.
Gu Shiyan turned his head and glanced at Tang Mochen.
Tang Mochen nodded slightly and immediately put away the gun. He then turned and walked towards the door.
A sweet-looking waiter was pushing a trolley outside.” Your dinner is ready.’”‘
Tang Mochen removed the lid on the plate and checked all the dishes one by one. After confirming that there was no problem, he stepped aside and let her in.
The waiter pushed the dining cart to the table and bowed slightly. After greeting the two of them, he carried the dishes one by one and placed them on the table.
Suspicion was a seed, and as long as it was planted, it would begin to take root and sprout.
Even though Su Muyan repeatedly told himself that Gu Shiyan was lying to him, he still could not help but believe him.
He was extremely nervous as he stared at the waiter, afraid that she was really an assassin sent by the Su family and would suddenly take out a gun from a plate and attack him.
After the waiter placed all the dishes, he greeted the two of them and pushed the dining cart away.
Gu Shiyan elegantly picked up the cutlery and cut the steak on the plate.
The sound of the knife cutting into the steak was like a saw in Su Muyan’s heart. He was like a frightened bird at this moment, and he was extremely nervous at the slightest movement of the wind and grass.
They stayed in the restaurant on the top floor for more than an hour. Even when they took the elevator down to the lobby, there was still no movement.
Su Muyan’s tensed nerves finally relaxed. He sat in the wheelchair and looked at Gu Shiyan disdainfully.”
Before Gu Shiyan could open his mouth, he suddenly raised his leg and kicked Su Muyan’s wheelchair. Su Muyan was kicked off the wheelchair.
At the same time, there was a dull thud as something hit the back of the wheelchair.
It was a silenced gun.
Su Muyan fell to the ground and stared blankly at the unusually obvious bullet hole on the back of the wheelchair.
He instantly felt a chill run down his spine.
No, it couldn’t be what he thought. This gunshot was definitely aimed at saving him from Gu Shiyan.
The next moment, another muffled sound echoed as the bullet hit the ground where he had just fallen.
The rest of the people immediately rushed towards the direction of the gunshot.
With elegant steps, Gu Shiyan walked to Su Muyan’s side. “Do you have anything else to say?
Gritting his teeth, Su Muyan said with a determined look, “The Su family is a prominent target of jealousy, and there are many people who resent us. Who knows who sent this person?”
Gu Shiyan didn’t say much either, just standing there with a hint of playfulness, toying with the sachet in his hand.
The club had already been sealed off tightly by his arranged people. Not even a fly could escape.
Soon, the person who fired the gun was brought back, covered in blood.
For Gu Shiyan, extracting a confession from someone was not difficult; he had plenty of ways to do so.
Based on the information provided by the person, it took almost no effort to find out that the person hired by money to do this was from the Su family.
Su Muyan sat slumped in the wheelchair. He realized he was never the favored lucky one, only a tool sacrificed and exploited for their own ambition.
Even a tiger does not prey on its own cubs, yet his parents heartlessly sacrificed him to the devil for their own futures.
Instantly, hatred and fury enveloped him, driven by the betrayal and deception from his own family.
If they wanted to drag him into hell, then not a single one of those who betrayed him could escape.
Turning to Gu Shiyan, he said, “Mr Gu, I’d like to negotiate a condition with you..”
