I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father

concern.

Gu Shao frowned slightly.

Before Gu Shao said anything, Gu Xi continued to speak in a solemn manner.
“Like, will any of them want to take revenge on the Gu family or that they will want to use evil means to bring down the Gu family because they are jealous of the Gu family and didn’t the Gu family to overshadow them?”

“Yes, there will be those,” said Gu Shao.
His look already starting to turn solemn.

Being strong and powerful would, doubtless, bring about enemies.
There were very few who would dare to take any actions against the Gu family but many who would love to see the Gu family fall apart.

Gu Shao’s lips twitched when he heard that.

“You will need to watch out for these individuals.
