She would never have imagined that she would kill Gu Xiande with her own hands one day.
This old man, who had been all-powerful for his entire life, had now fallen in front of him.
No, she didn't kill him. But it was no different from killing him.
She could only watch helplessly as he breathed his last breath and died motionlessly.
Gu Xiande had been in charge of the Gu family for his entire life, but he had died in her hands. This made her feel a little vain.
She thought to herself, "No matter how powerful you are, you will still be killed by me."
Haha, now that Gu Xiande could die in my hands, why would I be afraid of anyone else?
However, she didn't lose her mind. She quickly erased all the places where she might have left her fingerprints. Although there were surveillance cameras outside, there definitely wouldn't be any inside. Otherwise, some of the family head's privacy would be exposed. Which family head would be willing to live in a place without privacy? Therefore, after she went out, she didn't have to worry about the surveillance cameras.
Soon, she ran out. When she was outside, she pretended to have just come in and said, "I'm here to see Old Master. Where is he?"
They said, "Old Master is still resting inside."
With a smile on her lips, she walked in.
The moment she entered, she screamed.
"Ah … Old Master …"
— —
Outside.
"Bad news, Old Master, Old Master …" The butler ran in with tears in his eyes.
"What's wrong with Old Master?"
"What's wrong with Grandfather?"
"What's wrong with Father?"
"Old Master, he's dying …"
Everyone was shocked. In a moment, they all gathered at the back.
Gu Jingze and Gu Jingyu went in first.
They saw Old Master lying on the ground.
On the other side, the doctor was already examining Old Master's body.
After a quick inspection, his face turned ashen. He raised his head and lamented, "The old master has already … already passed away …"
What …
Did he really pass away this time …
The doctor began to examine him inside.
Outside, many of the clan members rushed over after hearing the news.
The doctor came out and said, "It should be a heart attack."
Someone in the clan shouted, "How could this happen? Where did you all go? Old Master is not in good health. He has been alone for so long. Did no one go to take care of him?"
The doctor was so scared that his face was sweating.
Although the treatment was good, it was not easy to serve such a big family.
His head felt like it was going to fall off at any moment.
"We were supposed to check it in an hour, but it hasn't even been an hour."
Zong Qin asked again, "What about the servants in the house? Where are they?"
"Sir, the old man told us to stay away because he wants to …"
"What do you want?" Zong Qin felt the servant's eyes twinkle and quickly asked.
The servant glanced at Gu Jingze.
He then turned to look at Lin Che.
"Because the old man wants to see Madam."
Gu Jingze turned around.
Lin Che also understood that he was in trouble.
She lifted her head and looked at the person in front of her.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him at once, Ye Zichen smiled.
Lin Che said, "Yes, I just met Old Master."
The relatives behind him immediately stood up. "What do you mean by meeting the old master? You should be the last person to meet the old master."
"That's right. Tell me, what did you say to the old man to cause him to have a heart attack?"
"Didn't you call for help when you saw the old man having a heart attack?"
"Ha, is it because you want to kill the old man, so you don't care about him?"
"Yes, it must be. The old man looked down on her and didn't let her be the Lady of the House. She's holding a grudge against him."
Lin Che sneered. These people were interesting.
Why? Were they collectively pinning the blame for Old Master Shen's death on her?
Lin Che said, "I did meet the old man just now, but we had a pleasant conversation. We didn't quarrel, and it was very peaceful. When I left, the old man was still fine."
"There's no proof."
"Yes, whatever you say. Even a murderer wouldn't have the word 'murderer' written on his head."
"That's enough," Gu Jingze suddenly said.
His deep voice, with a murderous aura, made everyone stop.
They were still afraid of Gu Jingze.
Gu Jingze said, "Aren't you slandering my wife without proof?"
Everyone looked at each other. No one had proof.
Xue Mengqi came out from behind and said, "She was the last person to meet the old man. Can't she tell us what happened?"
Hearing Xue Mengqi's words, the clan members remembered again.
"That's right. Jingze, it's wrong of you to do this. He's your grandfather. How can you side with your wife like this?"
"That's right. You're not filial."
"Can't we just ask?"
"Can't the old man give us an explanation?"
Gu Jingze said, "Are you asking or slandering him?"
"Ha, the old man has done so much for the Gu family. Now that he's passed away without any reason, of course we have to ask him. Moreover, Lin Che was the last person to enter the house. How can we believe you if you don't tell us what you said?"
"Is it because the old man still doesn't let you be the Lady of the House, so you don't dare to tell us?"
Lin Che looked at them. They had made up their minds to blame her.
"Give us an explanation. We can't let the old man die just like that."
"Why don't we let the police handle it? Let them investigate and see if there's anything left at the scene."
"Maybe Lin Che's fingerprints will be on the old man's medicine bottle. Hmph."
Gu Jingze narrowed his eyes. "Grandfather's death has nothing to do with Lin Che. There's no need to investigate."
"Impossible! We have to give the old man an explanation. "
The few of them stared at Lin Che like tigers watching their prey. They wanted her to give them an answer.
"Lin Che, don't you want to take responsibility for killing someone?"
"Lin Che, you're hiding behind the old man. Are you afraid of being investigated?"
"Hand over Lin Che, Jingze. Otherwise, the old man won't be able to rest in peace."
Everyone attacked her as if they were going to force her to abdicate.
Suddenly, Gu Jingze picked up his gun and pointed it at the ceiling. Bang!
The room suddenly fell silent.
Everyone looked at Gu Jingze, whose eyes were bloodshot with murderous intent. They suddenly didn't dare to provoke him.
"Jingze, you're going to disappoint all of us by protecting her like this."
Gu Jingze snorted. "If I let Lin Che be investigated and slandered by you, then it'll be too meaningless for me to be the old man."
"You're the old man first. Then you're her husband."
"No, the most important position in a man's life is his family, and the core of a family is his wife." "No, to govern the country, to bring peace to the world, to stand in the most important position in a man's life.
"You …"
