Chapter 701 - 337: Father’s Inheritance (Part 1)
"Mr. Gu Huaixi, please take a look at this information first. I think you’ll quickly understand," the lawyer said, somewhat surprised at the child’s demeanor and indifference when mentioning his father. Nonetheless, he dutifully completed his task. "Your father once spent a fortune to buy a... not-so-valuable planet, then had all his savings and this transfer certificate authenticated..."
According to Gu Ningxuan’s initial plan, this planet was actually meant to be registered under Su Jiameng’s name.
The first person the lawyer sought was Su Jiameng, but unfortunately, he tragically discovered that Su Jiameng had also passed away, and her identity was annulled. Helplessly, he had to look for Huaixi, who was now the most eligible heir, only to find that Huaixi was in the Military Department!
In fact, Huaifeng, being one of the twins, was also one of the suitable candidates, but Huaifeng was even harder to meet than Huaixi. The lawyer could only choose the relatively more accessible Huaixi, leading to the previous scene of searching for him.
Huaixi calmly reviewed the material, and when his gaze landed on a certain word, his eyes narrowed sharply, and for the first time, cracks appeared on his always-calm face of ice! This... he actually... After the contract, there was a letter from Gu Ningxuan to Su Jiameng.
With both elders gone, Huaixi, as the heir, naturally felt no pressure opening it and started reading carefully.
The entire letter lacked any eloquent phrases, even seeming cumbersome, like a stream of consciousness, truly taxing on his mind.
Gu Ningxuan was really naive to think that such an ordinary letter could move his mother’s heart? Huaixi snorted inwardly; his mother wasn’t a woman easily pursued, let alone by someone as clumsy as Gu Ningxuan.
While silently criticizing Gu Ningxuan for not even being able to write a love letter properly, he cherished the letter immensely, appearing very attentive.
"If Mr. Gu Huaixi has no objections to this inheritance, then please sign the agreement," the lawyer assumed that the young man would likely not understand the complex contract details. "Do you have any questions?"
"No, I’m very satisfied with it..." Huaixi skimpily browsed the contract, which bore Gu Ningxuan’s signature of property transfer declaration, the handwriting vigorous and graceful, exuding a unique aura.
"It’s good that Mr. is satisfied, then please sign here, and once signed, you and your brother will be the owners of this inheritance." The lawyer, being experienced, swiftly completed the complex succession procedure.
However, after finishing these tasks, he made no move to get up and leave, instead showing a very awkward expression.
"If the lawyer has a problem, just say it. I won’t shirk any solutions I can provide."
Huaixi’s rest time was limited; even his return home was scheduled down to the minute, yet he didn’t mind wasting a day’s training for this matter.
The lawyer hesitated for a long time, then finally gritting his teeth, said, "It’s like this, Mr. Gu’s father had once recruited many miners to extract something, but the planet’s geographic conditions were terrible and not suitable for long term habitation. But the planet now belongs to Mr. Gu’s father; without his permission, warships cannot stop there, and they also can’t leave..."
Huaixi understood now, was it that the miners Gu Ningxuan hired didn’t want to work anymore?
Or were they worried about their wages not being issued on time?
"This... you know, those creatures called the Insect Race have been rampaging everywhere recently, terrifying everyone, as no one knows when they might suddenly appear... that planet... seems worthless for mining, the environment is bad, the technology is simple, let alone having the defensive equipment to fend off those monsters. The miners are willing to forgo their earnings from the past few months and just want to leave..."
Even a fool could understand now, especially not to mention Huaixi, who was mature from a young age. After pondering, he slowly agreed to this matter, but with conditions...
"I need them to write a guarantee that they won’t disclose anything about the sights and sounds on that planet! Otherwise, I think none of us would like the consequences," Huaixi said solemnly, his voice youthful yet commanding respect, "Do not take my words lightly; I swear by the entire Gu Family, this is no joke!"
The lawyer, although curious about what treasures could be on that planet, valued his own future and life more.
The prestige of the Gu Family... Even if Mr. Gu Huaixi was not the legitimate heir of the Gu Family, his authority was not easy to defy. Huaixi granted the miners three days to evacuate, then sent the relieved lawyer away.
Even seated, his thin body sat straight upright. After a long contemplation, his facial expression suddenly firmed!
He put on his training uniform jacket, didn’t even have time to shower, and went to another place to find his brother.
"Xiao Feng, today’s training is temporarily halted, we’re heading home first..." Without another word, Huaixi pulled Huaifeng away. As for the remaining training? Anyway, the brothers always completed their tasks over quota, the instructor wouldn’t be too unreasonable.
"Brother, what’s happened, why so urgent..." Huaifeng muttered as he was wiping his hair with a towel, an expression of enjoyment on his face, "Great-grandfather will be shocked to see us come home early..."
"Of course something happened, and it’s very serious." Huaixi’s expression was grave, "This matter must be informed to great-grandfather; just the two of us kids probably can’t handle it..."
