Infernal Hero

Wolongtang Village, an inconspicuous coastal village in Wudong area.

Many years ago, Gu Yufei , his sworn brothers Fang Baiyu , Xue Shuanglin, and Gong Hanzhang went out to sea together to learn how to smuggle by sea. I got the first bucket of gold on my belt. Afterwards, the first flour mill was set up in this small village. From the flour mill in the beginning to the steel rolling mill in the end, 48 village-run enterprises were recruited. Gradually formed the pattern of Wolongtang industrial cluster.

The whole Wolongtang industrial cluster is scattered all over the coast of the East China Sea, adjacent to Wolongxingang, with Half Moon Mountain Provincial Highway on its back.

There were 412 families and 2,800 people in the village, all of whom were small shareholders in the 48 village-run enterprises.

That year we caught up with the great men on their southern tour, encouraged the development of the private economy, and put forward even greater steps towards reform. For a time, this spring breeze from south to north blew across the country, and Wolongtang Village also caught up with this spring breeze. It was set up as a typical example of rural reform and construction by Tian Xiangnong, then secretary of the provincial party committee. From then on, the name of Wudong First Village became famous. As the leader of the Wolongtang Village, Gu Yufei had a glorious time in those years. The Gu Clan gradually gained supreme status in the village. 𝑓𝙧𝘦𝘦we𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃𝗲l.com

Gu Yufei went out to see a doctor. After leaving for more than half a year, he announced that the old Gu Clan had a successor as soon as he returned home. The whole village was dumbfounded when they heard the news. Some of the important people in the village couldn't help but be curious. They came to see what kind of bastard Gu Dalong had brought back under the pretext of visiting a doctor.

Gu Dalong was Gu Yufei 's nickname, and only the elders in the village were qualified to call him that.

It had been half a month since Gu Tianyou flew back to the village with Gu Yu. The people who came to visit were all Gu Yufei 's elders, so naturally, they were also Tianyou's elders. These people were not so much here to visit the sick as to explore the road. They came in with gifts in their hands and smiles all over their faces. When they saw Heaven's Blessings, everyone kept praising them. However, Gu Tianyou could not feel the slightest bit of sincerity from these people.

In the last days of Gu Yufei 's life, he had seemingly endless words to say to Tianyou almost every day. Gu Tianyou knew that he was explaining what was going on behind him. In the end, he still couldn't let go of the Wolong Pond created by Bai Shou. He was worried and unwilling.

Half a month later, in the Gu Clan's new residence and room, more than a dozen pots of precious orchids bloomed against the seasonal laws under the greenhouse effect, emitting a refreshing fragrance. Gu Yufei lay on the couch for several days without moving in. His life had already entered the countdown.

Gu Tianyou sat beside the bed, holding a bowl and slowly retrieving the spoon.

"Don't waste your time. You've studied medicine. You should know that my time is up." Gu Yufei 's voice was weak, but it was rare for him to articulate clearly.

Gu Tianyou looked at the blood on his face. He understood that this was a sign of returning light. He looked left and right and sighed, "Whoever should come must always come. It's rare to have a home. Actually, I like this place very much."

That day, he promised Gu Yufei to accompany him through the final journey of his life, and then he would leave. Now, it was finally time to part ways. At this moment, Gu Tianyou was reluctant to part. It was the first time in sixteen years that he had treated a place outside the prison as his home.

"I know you have something to ask me in your heart. You can ask me while I'm still awake." Gu Yufei stared fixedly at Tianyou, as if he wanted to carve this inscription into his mind and bring it to another world.

"She" Gu Tianyou hesitated for a moment before continuing, "What kind of person is she?"

Of course, she was referring to Yu Shaofen. Gu Yufei narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was immersed in memories. He slowly said, "She is a very amazing woman. She comes from an orphan family, is very smart, studies very well, and her grades from primary school to university are very good."

"How did you get together and have me again?"

"She was an orphan. I taught her. When she graduated from university, the students in Yanjing caused trouble. She was one of the leaders. She was wanted by the government and thought of me when she had nowhere to go. At that time, I was doing smuggling business at sea. She came to offer to live with me. I didn't refuse."

Gu Yufei thought for a moment, then added, "Your mother is very good-looking, she speaks and does things straightforwardly, and she went to school in the capital. She is a very knowledgeable woman. She is much stronger than the one in my family. During that period of time, she did a lot of advice for me. We spent a happy time together."

"What happened afterwards? How did she end up in prison?" Gu Tianyou actually wanted to ask him why he had ignored his mother and son for so many years.

"We didn't get together for a few months before something happened, Our ship met the coast guard at sea, After that, they started to fight, Me and your big-headed uncle, Uncle Shuang Lin jumped into the sea. Your mother's water is better than mine, At that time, he refused to jump, Staying on the boat, While searching her body, she suddenly pulled out her gun and shot a police officer to death. The three of us floated on the sea for a week. We were starving to death before we met your Uncle Han Zhang. When we returned to land, your mother had already been sentenced to death. At that time, I wanted to salvage her, but I only found out what she did in Yanjing after finding out about it. We didn't dare to get involved in what happened afterwards. "

He explained, "After that, I've made up my mind to wash my hands and go ashore, At that time, Secretary Tian had just arrived in Wu Dong as the provincial party secretary, Back then, he was sent to work in Wolongtang Village, My father treated him well, With this little bit of incense, I came to the door, I finally got the approval to start the mill and the loan. At that time, it was easy to say that I was running a flour mill. The key was that I was running a steel mill at the same time. At that time, there was a shortage of supplies and the steel market was controlled by the state enterprises. It was not easy for the private economy to drill into this field. The scrutiny at all levels was very strict, so I … "

"Watching your woman die in prison with your child?" Gu Tianyou frowned slightly and suddenly remembered Lord Long, the stubborn old man who had dismissed his four wives. He couldn't help but feel a wave of disdain in his heart.

"At that time, I had several women by my side. Your mother was just one of them, and I didn't know that she was pregnant." Gu Yufei closed his eyes and sighed, "I have never wanted to be a Moral Sage in my life. Even today, I can consider myself to be responsible for it. It's up to you to blame me for hating me."

"The person who taught me since childhood said that resentment is the way of the weak, and I like revenge!" Gu Tianyou changed the topic and said, "She is the one who should hate you and blame you. No one has the right to choose their parents. Without you, there is no me. Therefore, I have no right to hate you and blame you."

"During this period of time …" Gu Yufei hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Thank you. I'm very happy to accompany me through the last part."

Gu Tianyou sensed a certain expectation in his eyes. Knowing that he still had more to do, he simply fell silent.

Gu Yufei continued, "I know you're leaving."

"I'm not welcome here," Gu Tianyou said expressionlessly. "Besides, this is what we agreed to."

Gu Yufei : "What are you going to do after you leave?"

"I still don't have any specific ideas. Let's take a look step by step." Gu Tianyou said calmly.

"Actually, you can consider staying." Gu Yufei blurted out and quickly added, "I mean, if you really don't have a good place to go, you might as well stay in Wolong Pond. After all, you are my son."

After all, he still said this sentence. Even though he had expected it, Gu Tianyou remained silent for a long time before he slowly said, "You know what kind of environment I grew up in, and you should also understand that for me, in such an environment, every wrong choice is likely to mean that there won't be another chance to choose."

The environment was the fairest and most heartless teacher. Gu Tianyou's childhood had ended from the moment he remembered it. Even though he was fortunate enough to receive Lord Long's protection, Lord Long had never played a role as a father or grandfather in the process of God's blessing growing up. In Grandpa Long's eyes, Tianyou had never been treated as a child. The process of raising him was the process of nurturing an unqualified soldier into a qualified soldier.

In a normal environment, a child who makes a mistake when faced with a choice will be protected by his parents and will have a chance to choose again. Gu Tianyou had never had such an opportunity. He still remembers the consequences of making the wrong choice for the first time in his life. When he was eight years old, because he couldn't resist the temptation of a candy, he was tricked into entering the storage room by a sick kidnapper. What happened after that almost ruined his entire life.

It was the first time Gu Tianyou had seen someone bleed. He would never forget the scene at that time. That person tore his clothes and pounced forward like a wolf. He raised his sharpened toothbrush and sliced open that person's aorta. Scorching hot blood sprayed out. There was so much blood everywhere …

Gu Tianyou withdrew his thoughts, and Gu Yufei looked at him with anticipation.

"I know you've been living a hard life these past few years." Gu Yufei 's voice trembled slightly, "But I hope you can seriously think about it. Is it really better to wander into society than to stay?" He earnestly continued, "The Wolong Pond is my lifetime's work. Do you have the heart to watch this family business fall into the hands of my enemies?"

"Your words are too heavy." Gu Tianyou sighed and said, "I am only a sixteen-year-old youth. I have no authority, no power, and no foundation. What can I do if I stay?"

"If you were just an ordinary sixteen-year-old youth, I naturally wouldn't have any expectations for you." Gu Yufei persevered, "But you are not. Your maturity and cultivation far exceeds my imagination. I originally believed that the Gu Clan has no successor, but now you have appeared. Isn't this the will of heaven?"

"The one you should be most grateful for is her, right?"

"Yes, of course I won't forget your mother. I will go downstairs to thank her face to face very soon." "But child, before we leave, I still have to ask you to believe me. Even if I leave, the situation in Wolong Pond will not be more dangerous than what you did in Qinzhou Prison. I will not leave you alone to face everything in the future. I assure you, regardless of what happens in Wolong Pond, at least you will have a much better life than living outside."

After saying those words, Gu Yufei was completely exhausted, leaving only a little bit of unwillingness in his eyes as hot as fire, baking Gu Tianyou's heart.

In Gu Tianyou's heart, the Heavenly Cultivator had been fighting for a long time before he finally nodded. When he made this decision, Tianyou said to himself in his heart, "Even if it's for the sake of letting him die, I'll let him die in peace."

Gu Yufei was full of reluctance and finally closed his eyes. This once powerful man left with regret and unwillingness.

In the next few days, the entire village of Wolong Pond was filled with wailing sounds. His first wife, Su Xiazhu, and her three daughters wore filial piety and buried him at the foot of the hill at the entrance of the village. Gu Tianyou was completely excluded and could only watch coldly like an outsider.

Everyone in the village said that this bastard was indeed worthy of being raised in prison. He was indeed an unfamiliar wolf. Gu Dalong treated him so well that he was unwilling to shed a single tear for his father. Gu Tianyou was too lazy to listen to their criticisms. He had already done what he had to do. He accompanied Gu Yu to the end of his life. There seemed to be no need for him to stay here anymore. In any case, he didn't want to compete with these people. As long as he left in silence, these voices would naturally disappear.

Things were hard to predict. Gu Tianyou, who had seen the dark side of human nature, had underestimated the complicated side of human nature. He wanted to leave, but they refused to let him go. After Gu Yufei died seven days ago, his first wife, Su Xiazhu, led his three daughters and son-in-law to forcefully lock Gu Tianyou up in the Gu Clan's old mansion.

The reason was Gu Yufei 's will.

There were forty-eight village-run enterprises in Wolongtang Village. Almost all of them were founded by Gu Yufei alone. He held most of the shares in these enterprises. Over the years, each of the villages has accumulated a large amount of wealth thanks to these enterprises. The Gu Clan was the richest man in the village.

According to Su Xiazhu, Gu Yufei 's will left all of his bank deposits, including several properties in the provincial capital and Qinzhou, to Su Xiazhu and her three daughters. As for the 48 enterprises in Wolongtang Village that he owned alone, 60% of them were inherited by his only son, Gu Tianyou, along with the Gu Clan's old mansion.

Of course, Gu Tianyou knew that this female tiger didn't have any good intentions. Originally, he planned to come and go casually, but he didn't expect that a big black pot would cover his head. Answer or not? Gu Tianyou recalled Gu Yufei 's last words and suddenly became interested. He didn't know what to do when he left. It was better to stay and see what would happen.
