Xi Pinglian watched the two people's retreating figures, clenching his fists tightly.
His heart seethed with silent hatred, yet on the surface, he still had to maintain the appearance of a loving father.
So many days had passed without finding an opportunity to strike; Gu Xiao must have started to suspect him by now.
He couldn't wait blindly any longer; he had to find the perfect opportunity to get rid of this damn kid.
He never imagined that Gu Xiao, who had disappeared at sea, would end up being adopted by the Gu Family, one of the four major families in Beijing.
That would have been fine, but he even inherited the entire Gu Family and rose to uncontrollable heights.
He truly regretted being too confident, assuming he was already dead.
Otherwise, how good it would have been to have dealt with all this before Gu Xiao could gain full strength!
