Chapter 1506: Chapter 1505: United Branches of the Great Families

The major families are all closely connected, like strands twisted into a single rope; before you even realize it, that’s enough to force the Wei Family into a dead end.

Of course, you can’t really blame anyone else for this—what the Wei Family did was just too filthy. Even bystanders couldn’t stomach it anymore.

Zhao Siyu thought for a moment and said, "I think this punk Wei Jian’an is being targeted by someone. Otherwise he wouldn’t have ended up in such a state. So I want to discuss with you whether we should make a move."

Taking the initiative and sitting there getting hit are two very different things. Zhao Siyu has never liked passively accepting whatever comes; he prefers to actively strike at his enemies.

With Wei Jian’an having done something this insidious and vicious, Zhao Siyu had no reason to endure it even a little.

Gu Tong thought it over, but for quite a while she didn’t give an answer, and said, "I don’t think this Wei Family is as simple as it looks. We’d better get a clearer picture first."

"When a wall falls, everyone pushes"—that’s the Wei Family’s fate now. But even so, the rate at which they’re collapsing seems a bit too drastic.

Gu Tong kept feeling that there was still something off here. She couldn’t quite put her finger on what exactly, but it definitely needed to be investigated.

Zhao Siyu paused and said, "My grandma once told me that the Wei Family’s foundations are crooked, that they’re not some solid, upright household. She kept trying to persuade me, warning me to stay far away from them."

Gu Tong nodded and said, "The Zhao Family’s old madam has a penetrating mind and exceptional wisdom. Any decision she makes is naturally the result of careful deliberation."

There was nothing at all wrong with what she said.

The Zhao Family has deep roots, and the old madam of the Zhao Family is someone with a crystal-clear mind. She’s able to make the correct choice at the very first moment in many situations. All these years, she’s never really made a misstep, and that’s precisely why the Zhao Family has endured for so long.

You could say this is the difference between having discerning eyes and being blind to what’s in front of you.

The Zhao Family’s old madam was able, right from the start, to distinguish that the Wei Family was no good, that their attempt to cling to her grandson had ulterior motives and could only lead to trouble.

So in the beginning she gave Zhao Siyu some pointed reminders, hoping he would cut off that bad friendship.

But back then, Zhao Siyu didn’t heed her warnings, insisting on having his own way. Although he didn’t get excessively close with the Wei Family, he never truly distanced himself from them either.

If it hadn’t been for that, things wouldn’t have developed to such a sorry state.

Zhao Siyu understood very well in his heart and said, "Our Zhao Family can be considered as not contending with the world; we stay out of a lot of things. If Wei Jian’an hadn’t schemed against me to this extent, I wouldn’t have taken the initiative to put the squeeze on him."

Zhao Siyu just couldn’t swallow this insult.

Thinking it through carefully, it was because of the Wei Family that he offended so many people. It was all his own willfulness, not listening to his grandma’s advice—utterly inexcusable.

Gu Tong understood what he was thinking and said, "For now, you should put this matter down and level your mood. We can make our move later; it won’t be too late."

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to deal with the Wei Family, but that the timing wasn’t right yet.

If it weren’t for that, she wouldn’t be waiting and watching like this.

Zhao Siyu was taken aback and said, "Do you have some good plan, Sister?"

If they were going to strike later, there had to be a proper strategy.

Gu Tong hesitated for a moment, her mind also working through many threads.

By now, the whole situation was already very clear: the Wei Family and Gong Qingwan had been colluding with each other, acting in cahoots, not just for a day or two.

If they wanted to eradicate them completely, it would take some effort.

When you strike a snake, you have to grab it at seven inches. Since they were going to attack, they had to hit the vital spot, to make sure that with one move they knocked them flat on the ground and left them unable to ever rise again.
