The Head Elder added, “Also, if Young Lady can pass the assessment, Leng Xuan will be removed from the Elders’ Association. You will be able to take over Base 102 officially.”
Gu Si felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. Narrowing his eyes, he asked, “What if she doesn’t pass?”
The Head Elder looked at him. “Then Young Lady will have to participate in the experiment that she interrupted so long ago.”
“F*ck you!” Gu Si grabbed the tea cup and flung it at the Head Elder ruthlessly. The Head Elder dodged it by stepping to the side.
A loud crash reverberated throughout the hall. The cup was in pieces on the floor.
Immediately, Jiangsui approached Gu Si and massaged his shoulders, signalling him to calm down.. Gu Si’s gaze was merciless as he glared at the Head Elder.
The Head Elder was still smiling lightly. He turned towards Gu Mang again. “Young Lady, please give it some serious thought.”
Gu Mang remained silent. Looking down at the cup of tea, she realized she had finished half of it. Seeing that she was not saying anything, the Head Elder could tell that Gu Mang was not confident.
Leaning back, he said very confidently with a smile, “How about this? If Young Lady passes the assessment, I will give all of the shares and rights of the major corporations on Jijing Island which belonged to the Gu family, to you.”
Having been in charge of Jijing Island for so many years, the Gu family’s former fortune was unimaginably large. Back when the other families had divided the assets among themselves, everyone got a huge amount. The Gu family also owned many territories.
The Elders’ Association and Head Elder took most of the territories, almost half.
Jiangsui and the rest looked at Gu Mang worryingly.
Jijing Island’s Head Elder had the same status as Huo Zhi. As someone who had been at the top of the hierarchy for so many years, he would not make such a generous offer for no reason. The only possible explanation was that the assessment was more difficult than expected.
The Head Elder was sure that Gu Mang would not pass the assessment. He did not even intend to send Gu Mang to the assessment. He just wanted a reason to make Gu Mang a lab rat.
When Bai Qingqing heard what the Head Elder was offering, she was extremely shocked. She did not know all the details about what had happened between Gu Mang the Elders’ Association in the past. She did not understand what they meant by ‘experiment.’
However, she could tell that the Elders’ Association did not even intend to hand over Base 102, given that they wanted Gu Mang to do the assessment while she was still injured.
The atmosphere was extremely tense.
Sensing that something was amiss, she turned around, only to see Bai Sui’s cold and terrifying face. It was as if there was a layer of ice over his face.
“What’s wrong with you?” Bai Qingqing asked Bai Sui as softly as possible.
The man’s demeanour softened a little. The ruthlessness in his gaze was intense. “Nothing.”
The Head Elder looked at Gu Mang with narrowed eyes. “Young Lady, what do you think?”
Gu Mang looked up. “Draft the agreement. I will sign it.”
“Gu Mang…” Huo Zhi frowned. He wanted to say something more, but he simply could not bring himself to do so.
He knew that no matter what he said, Gu Mang would not change her mind once she made her decision.
The Head Elder’s assistant passed the documents to him. The Head Elder took the documents while grinning and handed them to Gu Mang.
The documents had two formats. One was internal while the other one was external. The external document had the signatures of everyone in the Elders’ Association. The internal document only had the names of Gu Mang, Huo Zhi, and the Head Elder.
After the agreements had been signed the external document was released to the Elders’ Association and the four major families.
…
At the Ye family residence.
Ye Junci sat silently in the study. She was holding a cigarette between her fingers, but she was not smoking it.
“Madam,” Elder Ye said as he came in. “The agreement says that Ms. Gu can take over Base 102 if she passes the assessment. If she doesn’t pass, the Elders’ Association will groom Young Master Gu instead.”
