Chapter 71 Unreplicable Success
After temporarily putting the martial arts matters on hold, Gu Yu shifted his attention back to the businesses in the capital.
Having received news from Gu Ding, Gu Yu didn’t investigate personally but instead had the alliance members look into it.
Later, from the alliance members who delivered the message, he learned that after they sent people over and pretended to be Gu Yu on patrol, they were immediately attacked by a group of people. Facing the alliance members who were skilled in all eighteen martial arts, these attackers were naturally unsuccessful.
Instead, they were captured by the alliance and taken directly to the alliance’s dungeon for interrogation.
The alliance members who delivered the message did not reveal much about the interrogation, and Gu Yu did not inquire further, lest he be mistaken for a pervert.
The most important matter now was to find out who sent these people.
They dared to try and stop him, Gu Yu, from doing business in the capital; they indeed had quite a bit of courage!
However, these people had picked the wrong person to mess with.
After the people sent by the alliance submitted a letter, Gu Yu immediately saw the mastermind from the letter paper.
It was a little different from what Gu Yu had expected; it was just a minor character.
Upon seeing the person’s background and wealth, Gu Yu didn’t even consider dealing with this guy and handed it over to the alliance for resolution.
At the same time, Gu Yu also asked the alliance to pay more attention.
If anyone wanted to interfere with his business, they didn’t need to worry too much; they could just act directly to resolve it.
Regarding Gu Yu’s request, the alliance immediately received an affirmative answer after inquiring with Empress Bai Qian.
This surprised many, who wondered what benefits Gu Yu had given Empress Bai Qian to agree to such strict demands.
Had Gu Yu caught Empress Bai Qian with a handle on her?
While thinking this, everyone acted very quickly and completely cleared out those who wanted to target the Gu family’s business, immediately calming the turbulent commercial market.
After some people mysteriously disappeared, and with their peers remaining, many who knew the news chose to lie low, wanting to see what the situation was.
Originally, even if the Gu family intervened in the capital’s businesses, it wouldn’t have significantly changed the established commercial circles.
However, unexpectedly, Gu Yu played a bigger game.
He didn’t even abide by the rules for newcomers and gradually encroached on others’ interests.
In this situation, naturally, some people couldn’t stand it and made a move, wanting to let Gu Yu know the severity of the situation, serving as a warning from seniors to juniors.
Unfortunately…
Even though they made a move, for Gu Yu, it wasn’t even a drop in the bucket.
After all, Gu Yu didn’t act directly but sent league members to resolve it.
This meant that these people didn’t even make Gu Yu think about taking action; it was all their own self-indulgence.
With the alliance’s help, it wasn’t difficult for Gu Yu to win the title of the capital’s richest man.
The development of events was also known to Gu Ding early on, but he didn’t know about the relationship between Gu Yu and the alliance. He thought Gu Yu had made secret arrangements and directly eliminated the danger in advance.
For this, Gu Ding became more and more impressed with Gu Yu.
He directly regarded Gu Yu as his idol, thinking that if he could have half of Gu Yu’s ability, he would be satisfied with his life.
If Gu Yu knew this expectation, he would probably smile and tell Gu Ding… let alone this life, the next life would also be impossible.
Just possessing a powerful space is an unreplicable success.
“A’yu, didn’t someone say earlier that there was a problem with the business? Isn’t it a bit inappropriate for you to be guarding here?”
Lying on the bed, Gu Mengyao leisurely read a military book in her hand. Gu Yu reached out and held the grapes in the bowl, feeding them directly to Gu Mengyao’s mouth.
After saying this, Gu Mengyao immediately smiled and ate the grapes Gu Yu offered.
Mmm, so sweet~
“These small matters can be left to others to handle; there’s no need for me to personally go. If I have that time, I’d rather spend it with my wife and children!”
Seeing that Gu Mengyao liked to eat grapes, Gu Yu continued, and while speaking, he wondered if he should bring out other fruits.
He heard that pregnant women like to eat fruit?
Of course, some people also like to eat meat…
“That sounds so cheesy, but I like it!”
While accepting the grapes Gu Yu offered, Gu Mengyao smiled slightly, then put them into Gu Yu’s mouth in return, letting her little husband taste them too.
Since becoming pregnant, Gu Yu had been exhausted when Gu Mengyao had trouble eating.
Various foods appeared on the dining table, but none suited Gu Mengyao’s appetite. Finally, grapes made Gu Mengyao’s appetite improve.
“It’s already the sixth day, and tomorrow is the last day of the deadline. When those martial artists appear, they will definitely agree to let you become the Martial Arts Alliance Leader… If they stubbornly want to die, I will reassign others to be stationed in the martial arts world, and it won’t delay your plan.”
Eating the grapes offered by his little wife, Gu Yu thought about it and decided to inform Gu Mengyao about the martial arts matters.
Since Gu Mengyao wanted to become the Martial Arts Alliance Leader, Gu Yu naturally wouldn’t let her down and would definitely handle the matter well.
Whether successful or not, Gu Yu had already thought of various backup plans.
Regarding this, Gu Yu was not worried, only thinking that many troublesome matters in the martial arts world might be very tiring…
It seemed he still had to ask Empress Bai Qian to send people to resolve it.
Then, he could just have his little wife put her name on it.
Although such an arrangement was very unfair to the martial artists, there was no fairness in Gu Yu’s eyes; he himself was the embodiment of fairness.
If Gu Yu truly became emperor, the title of tyrant would probably follow him closely.
However, Gu Yu was not worried about these things.
According to his original plan, he would simply kill these people and be done with it, why create more trouble!
But, due to various reasons in reality, Gu Yu couldn’t act.
He could only solve these troubles slowly.
“Will many people die?” Gu Mengyao asked the question she was most concerned about after hearing Gu Yu’s words and pondering for a moment.
If too many people died, perhaps Empress Bai Qian’s manpower wouldn’t be enough!
Gu Mengyao, who had been stationed in the military camp, was no weakling. She knew that sometimes problems had to be solved with violence, just like this Martial Arts Alliance Leader position… even for the sake of the army, she had to secure this position firmly and not have any mishaps.
The lives of a few people versus the lives of the majority, Gu Mengyao directly chose the latter.
She could compensate a little afterward, so that Empress Bai Qian wouldn’t completely control the martial arts world; this was the greatest concession Gu Mengyao could make.
