"Mr. He is wrong," Ethan Gu said with a smile, "I only have this precious little brother. Who else should I love? I didn't accompany him to do anything during the three years I was abroad. Now it's my duty."
The baby brother couldn't help but tremble.
Blake glanced at Gu Zhengjia with a half-smile, and said to Ethan Gu: "Mr. Gu really sees through things."
"You have to understand it," Ethan Gu replied meaningfully, "If you want to talk about seeing through it, isn't He Shao the one? --- Don't just remember to praise me."
In this conversation, Blake was talking about Ethan Gu's stepmother, and Ethan Gu responded by talking about Blake's identity. Speaking of embarrassment, Blake, who lived in the He family but was not the real eldest son of the He family, was much more embarrassed than him.
The brief and subtle confrontation ended quickly. Ethan Gu said a few more words to Blake and then took Gu Zhengjia away.
"Stay away from Blake in the future." Walking in the hall, Ethan Gu greeted people he met while whispering to Gu Zhengjia.
"I know, big brother," Gu Zhengjia's face was not looking good, "The look in his eyes just now gave me goose bumps."
"You should have heard of his reputation." The month since returning was enough for Ethan Gu to find out what he wanted to know. "You are the young master of the Gu family. As long as you don't do anything stupid, he can't get you."
Gu Zhengjia nodded helplessly. When he thought about the rumors outside and the look the other party had just given him, he felt as disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly.
Ethan Gu patted Gu Zhengjia on the shoulder: "Okay, this is your birthday party, go find some friends to play with."
Gu Zhengjia had noticed that his friend had been staring at him eagerly. He nodded and said, "Brother, I'll go over then."
"Have fun." He said to Gu Zhengjia, then took a glass of ice water from a waiter passing by and drank it to clear his head. He then looked for Jordan Wei, but he didn't seem to be in the hall. Ethan Gu frowned and called a waiter nearby: "Where's Young Master Wei?"
To work in the Shen family, the most basic requirement is to be able to keep an eye on all directions. When the waiter heard Ethan Gu's question, he bowed and said, "Mr. Wei just received a call and went out temporarily."
Ethan Gu nodded, knowing that Jordan Wei would not leave without saying anything, and not in a hurry to find someone, he found a more conspicuous place to sit down and rest. Not long after, Jordan Wei, holding his phone, returned to the hall through the side door.
His face did not look very good. He looked around when he walked into the hall. After meeting Ethan Gu's eyes, he walked straight towards him. On the way, he met a few people who greeted him, but he just nodded slightly to deal with them.
"What's wrong? Is there something urgent?" Ethan Gu could tell something from the other person's expression. Without waiting for Jordan Wei to speak, he took the initiative to speak.
Jordan Wei laughed: "Really? Something happened." He didn't elaborate, "I have to go first. I'll apologize to you later."
"Mr. Wei, you are making fun of me. It's just a birthday party. I just happened to be in a good mood and made it look nice. What's the point?" Ethan Gu laughed.
"Hey, look at me, I'm dumbfounded." Given their relationship, it was impossible for him to say something like that. Jordan Wei slapped his forehead and said, "I'll give Zhengjia another good thing later."
"Thank you on his behalf." Ethan Gu said, looking at Jordan Wei's expression, "Go and do whatever you need."
Jordan Wei nodded, without further ado, turned around and left the villa.
Ethan Gu stood up again, greeted the people from several different small circles in the party hall who he had not greeted just now, and then he took a look and found James who was busy in the back.
"Young Master Ethan Gu?" James was puzzled by Ethan Gu's arrival.
"I have to leave for a while now. I'll leave the outside to you." Ethan Gu ordered, "Don't let anyone find out that I'm not here within half an hour."
James' heart moved, and he realized that the real mission of tonight had arrived: "I know, don't worry. Do you want to say hello to Master Zhengjia?"
This question was obviously not in Ethan Gu's plan. He frowned and said, "You don't have to ask him specifically. If he asks you and it's half an hour later, just tell him."
The mountain breeze at night is a little chilly.
21:07. Ethan Gu glanced at his phone as he started the car.
One hour and seven minutes passed since the banquet started and eleven minutes since Jordan Wei left.
Without turning on the lights, he turned the steering wheel and drove the single-parked car onto the road down the mountain. Within a few minutes, he reached a speed of 60 miles per hour.
40 miles per hour, mid-mountain road. Ethan Gu held the steering wheel with one hand, calculating Jordan Wei's current position in his mind. The familiarity since childhood and the careful observation for nearly a month were enough for Ethan Gu to grasp Jordan Wei's driving speed without the use of a monitor.
Just as Jordan Wei had suspected earlier, the purpose of Ethan Gu's birthday party was not only to celebrate the birthday of his half-brother - or in other words, this was not the purpose at all.
He is verifying his dream.
This was not too difficult. Two years had passed, and a recently completed villa far away from the city was where the birthday party happened to be held. It was a dark night, after drinking, and there was no pedestrians on the winding mountain road with a steep cliff on one side.
Ethan Gu made the best arrangements and then waited quietly like a hunter.
Three circles around the mountain, two, one and a half... Ethan Gu's driving speed was still slowly increasing. The strong wind blowing in from the open car window made him squint slightly. The scenery in front of him gradually blurred into gray and black blocks under the condition of high speed and no headlights.
If it were me, which route would I choose?
The upper half, the middle section of the mountain road, or - the most relaxing winding road just before reaching the bottom of the mountain?
Ethan Gu couldn't be sure.
He could set a trap without making any noise, and rely on his understanding of Jordan Wei to grasp his speed and itinerary, but he could not guess the final choice of the person hiding in the dark.
It was this uncertainty that made him drive faster and faster.
Three thousand meters, two thousand four, one thousand eight hundred.
The mountain road is halfway completed.
Twelve thousand, nine hundred, seven hundred.
Three quarters of the way.
Another turn, and suddenly a loud noise mixed with the howling of the mountain wind reached his ears.
At this moment, Ethan Gu didn't think about anything. He stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed out of the winding mountain road like a string!
Under the dim street lights on both sides of the road, the dark shadows of the trees flashed across the retina like ghosts.
Ethan Gu rushed out of the mountain road and glanced around hastily. He saw a white dump truck ramming into the right side of Jordan Wei's car on the left side of the road. The door of the army green off-road vehicle was dented! A few hundred meters ahead on this road, another large vehicle of the same size was rushing straight towards Jordan Wei's driver's seat from a distance of several hundred meters away, and the speed was at least 150 miles per hour!
The pointer on the dial turned to the bottom in an instant, and Ethan Gu rushed to the military green car before the large vehicle on the opposite side hit the SUV, then suddenly turned the steering wheel to the left. The whole car suddenly swung to the left, and the rear end hit the left front wheel of the dump truck heavily!
The driver subconsciously turned the steering wheel to the right.
The violent collision and the force of the brakes that were applied instantly threw Ethan Gu heavily against the car door. After the initial numbness, a stinging sensation like ants crawling and biting spread all over half of Ethan Gu's body. In a split second, he paid no attention to it at all. He saw the other party's wheels turning in the right rearview mirror, and he didn't care that his car was skidding badly. He let go of the steering wheel with his right hand, reached under the seat, and pulled out a gun.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three shots were fired in succession, one at the cab and two at the left front wheel less than a meter away from him.
The truck immediately lost control, rushed some distance to the right front, and then crashed heavily into the green belt on the road.
Ethan Gu turned his head to look at the dump truck that had rushed towards Jordan Wei before, but found that the dump truck that had previously resisted the off-road vehicle seemed to be in a bad situation and had already backed out and driven a long distance.
He ignored her, pushed open the door, got out and walked towards the truck parked on the side of the road. The driver also woke up from the collision, rolled and crawled out of the inner door, and ran towards the dark Tianxiang Mountain in a panic.
Ethan Gu just stood there and fired at the figure in front of him, once, twice.
On the silent road, two gunshots were heard from afar. The man running into the mountain screamed, covered his leg and fell to the ground.
Ethan Gu then walked towards the man who had run more than ten meters away, without saying a word, and kicked the man who was still struggling to stand up to the ground.
In the half-man-high weeds, the man was shivering so much that you could hear the sound of his teeth chattering: "The car was going too fast, I didn't see it, I didn't mean to..."
"Really?" Ethan Gu smiled, stepped on the man's shoulder, glanced at his bloody left leg, and pointed the gun at his right arm.
"boom!"
The sixth bullet.
He grabbed the collar of the man who was screaming and cursing and almost collapsed in pain, dragged him back to the cart, grabbed his hair and slammed his head against the pedal.
One, two, three times.
The scream suddenly rose, and the man struggled violently. Ethan Gu did not even raise his eyes, and continued to grab the man's hair and slam his head heavily onto the pedal.
Four times, five times, six times.
As the collisions continued, the struggle and shouting became weaker and then disappeared completely. Ethan Gu then let go of his hand and let the man, who was already confused, slide onto the road.
Then, he turned and walked towards Jordan Wei's car. He first took a closer look at the unconscious Jordan Wei in the car. After discovering that the other party did not have any obvious injuries as he had seen in his quick glance before, his heart, which had been beating violently just now, finally slowly calmed down.
The pain in my left arm came back to my mind.
Ethan Gu stood against the off-road vehicle for a while, opened the door through the open window, and did not dare to move Jordan Wei. He just felt the other's pulse, and after finding that it was still strong, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
Just after two waiting tones, the phone was picked up, and a respectful male voice sounded: "Young Master, what's the matter?"
"Find two ambulances to Tianxiang Mountain. Young Master Wei had a car accident. Bring another team to check the scene. Don't bring too many people. I've opened fire." Ethan Gu said.
The man who answered the phone broke out in a cold sweat: "I understand! I will be there within fifteen minutes!"
Ethan Gu hung up the phone directly, found a cigarette from Jordan Wei's car, lit it up, took a few puffs, then put it out, picked up the phone and dialed another number.
"Hello, Uncle Wei, it's me, Chen Zhou... Yes, I'm fine... Uncle Wei, listen to me, Xiang Jin was in a car accident... No, it's not serious, I've called an ambulance... Accident? Uncle Wei, I don't think so, I think..."
He looked at the unconscious man lying not far in front of him, and a stern look flashed in his eyes:
"I think this was premeditated."
