One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire's Sweet Love

It could be said that the Gu was the only family comparable to the Mu family in power.

How extensive was the network of the Gu family?

No one knew exactly.

Although, after all these years, the Gu had some used unknown methods to clear their family name, in fact, they were still people from the underworld. Be it their method or style of work, they were merciless.

This was especially the case with Gu Jinglian… The man was an extremely dangerous and scary character.

He was only 23 when ascended to the leadership of the Gu family, but upon gaining power, his ambitious and merciless nature surfaced. The second day he came to power, he removed all those section heads and henchmen that were disloyal to him.

The cruelty of his methods left people trembling in fear.

Compared to the man's methods, the level of Yang Shoucheng's methods was simply not entertaining enough.

As the crown prince of the underworld, because of his identity, this Gu family head was shrouded in mystery. Very few people knew of his actual appearance.

Rumors had it that those who had seen his actual appearance were no longer in this world.

Yang Shoucheng's legs could not help but wobble.

He was afraid. Why would he not be?

He might have rampaged in Hongkong for years, but to wealthy mafia families like the Gu, he still had to regard them with reverence.

Gu Jinglian was famous for being temperamental; his mood swings were incalculable. A truly frightening person was someone who, although wearing a smile, exuded bone-deep coldness.

This was because one would never know if they would lose their life in his hands in the next second.

The door was suddenly pushed ajar.

Gu Xingze came in from this door.

Gu Jinglian raised his head, and once he realized that it was him, the corner of his lips furled up. "Xingze, you're here?"

"Brother."

"Second Young Master Gu…"

Yang Shoucheng's complexion turned waxen as he scampered to fall on his knees heavily before the superstar.

Under extreme fear, his thick lips chapped and quivered. Beads of cold sweat trickled from his forehead.

Feeling somewhat irritated, Gu Xingze kicked his hand away. "Mr. Yang, what are you doing here?"

"Xingze, please tell First Young Master Gu that what happened between us is purely a misunderstanding. It's just a misunderstanding…"

Gu Jinglian asked nonchalantly, "Xingze, have you somehow offended Mr. Yang previously? Why don't you quickly apologize to him?"

His voice sounded extremely gentle, yet it made one's hair stand on end.

Gu Xingze simply answered, "Brother, I didn't."

Qin Zhou said, albeit a little helpless, "First Young Master Gu, it's just a minor issue; it's really just a small misunderstanding. I already explained this to Mr. Yang, but he didn't want to give me face and insisted on me handing Xingze over to him. This is what this is all about."

"Mr. Yang, this appears to be your mistake, then."

Gu Jinglian unhurriedly stood up and paced back and forth in front of Yang Shoucheng. He shook his head and sighed. "This younger brother of mine grew up overseas. He doesn't know a lot about the rules of the underworld in the capital."

He paused for a while and then his lips curved into a slight grin before continuing indifferently, "According to the rules, as his elder brother, I'm considered as his guardian. If he ever does you any offense, come directly to me, and I'll apologize to you on his behalf, but how can you ask for a member of the Gu family to be handed over as you please? If you take away my people, then where is your consideration for me, Gu Jinglian? How can the prestige of my family continue to be upheld that way?"

"First Young Master Gu, I… previously I had no knowledge of his identity," Yang Shoucheng explained. His face was a deathly pallor as he wiped away the sweat on his forehead.
