A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 507 Lessons

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan nodded solemnly and said, "So, if I am not the destined one, even if I obtain God's treasure, it will be useless and all my joy will be in vain."

“That’s right,” Frodo nodded. “Jesus Christ once said that if a righteous person obtains it, it will benefit mankind; but if an evil person obtains it, it will be a great disaster for mankind.”

Chao Bufan asked with a smile, "Father, what do you think of me? Do I seem like someone destined for God?"

Frodo smiled slightly and said, "In truth, whether one's heart is righteous or not lies only in a single thought. Extraordinary One, if you are truly God's chosen one, could you grant me a request?"

"What is it?" Chao Bufan asked.

Frodo's expression turned solemn. "I hope that after you obtain God's treasure, you will bring blessings upon all mankind."

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan laughed and said, "Father, you are overthinking it. If I am truly God's chosen one, after receiving God's treasure, even if you don't say anything, I will still benefit mankind. However, it is not certain whether I am God's chosen one!"

Frodo said, "Whether it is or not, let fate decide!"

In the hall, Grandpa Gu and the others sat on the sofa. The priest and Chao Bufan hadn't come out yet, and none of them dared to touch their bowls and chopsticks first, so they had to wait in the hall.

"Xiong Aiguo!" Upon learning that the Orthodox Christians had come to cause trouble, Gu Changfeng rushed into the hall with a submachine gun in hand and roared, "I'll fight you to the death!"

When Old Master Gu and the others saw this, they were all startled. Then, Old Master Gu stood up abruptly and roared, "You insolent fools, what are you doing? Haven't you caused enough trouble already?"

Gu Changfeng was also furious and completely ignored what Old Master Gu said, saying, "Old Master, don't get involved in this matter. I, Gu Changfeng, will take responsibility for my actions. Today, I will fight them to the death. Where are they?"

"Dad," Gu Tingting exclaimed in alarm. Her father was facing her grandfather, and if the gun went off accidentally, that would be terrible—she quickly said, "Put the gun down, everything will be alright."

"You beast, do you want to hit me? Put the gun down!" Old Master Gu roared angrily, wishing he could just slap his good-for-nothing eldest son to death and end it all.

Gu Changfeng realized what was happening, quickly moved the gun away, then threw it aside and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa, what's going on? Didn't they say Xiong Aiguo brought people to cause trouble? Where are they?"

“Dad,” Gu Tingting said, “they were all taken care of by Brother Bufan.”

"Who?" Gu Changfeng asked in surprise, "Who is Brother Bufan?"

“It’s Xiao Zhao,” Gu Qingfeng replied.

"Oh, oh." Gu Changfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That really scared me to death. I thought—Third brother, where is Xiao Zhao?"

"He and the Orthodox priest are discussing matters in the old man's study!" Gu Qingfeng replied.

"What?" Gu Changfeng exclaimed in shock, "The priest... the priest has arrived?"

As he spoke, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, muttering to himself, "This is really the end."

He then realized what was happening and quickly picked up the gun from the ground, intending to rush towards the old man's study. However, Gu Jingfeng reacted in time, snatching the gun from his hand and exclaiming in alarm, "Brother, what are you trying to do?"

"Second brother, don't worry about it, just give me the gun," Gu Changfeng said angrily.

"Snapped!"

Old Master Gu slapped him angrily, shouting, "You beast, are you trying to drive the entire Gu family to their doom?"

Gu Changfeng was stunned by the hard slap from Old Master Gu, standing there dumbfounded. Old Master Gu himself was furious, his face turning green. Everyone else, seeing Old Master Gu strike someone for the first time, was also stunned. It was Gu Changfeng's wife who was the first to realize that if she didn't step in, the couple would have no place in the Gu family anymore. She quickly said, "Old Master, please calm down. Please don't hurt yourself. Changfeng was a bit reckless, but he didn't understand the situation."

Old Master Gu said angrily, "This beast has completely disgraced the Gu family, and he still doesn't know how to repent."

"Yes, yes, please calm down, sir. Your health is the most important thing. Please don't take it to heart. Changfeng, quickly apologize to the old man."

Upon hearing his wife's words, Gu Changfeng quickly said, "Grandpa—"

"No need." As the head of the family, Old Master Gu naturally understood the meaning behind his eldest daughter-in-law's words. She was simply afraid that her status in the family would decline. If his eldest son hadn't done things that had really broken his heart, he wouldn't have been so angry, let alone resorted to violence. He quickly interrupted his eldest son and said, "Remember, in the future, think before you act. It's okay if you get hurt yourself, but don't let your family suffer because of you."

"Yes, yes, yes," Gu Changfeng said, sweating profusely, "The old man's words of advice are correct, Changfeng will remember them."

"Hurry up and put those things away. Aren't you troublesome enough already?" Old Master Gu glanced at the thing in Gu Qingfeng's hand and said coldly.

Gu Changfeng understood and quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, third brother, give it to me."

Gu Changfeng, gun in hand, quickly disappeared into the hall.

“Old man,” said Gu Changfeng’s wife, “I’ll go take a look.”

Old Master Gu remained silent, only sighing. His sigh seemed to reveal the despair and disappointment in his heart. He had always trusted his eldest son the most; among his three sons, he was superior to his two younger brothers in both ability and talent. However, he never imagined that his most trusted son would commit such a despicable act. Even more unbelievable was that he would betray his own daughter—it truly chilled his heart! However, he was thankful that Chao Bufan was still alive; otherwise, the Gu family would be finished!

Gu Changfeng's wife glanced at the old man, then silently left.

Gu Tingting quickly helped Grandpa Gu up and said, "Grandpa, please don't get angry, take care of your health. No matter what, it's all my dad's fault, but if you think about it carefully, you can't blame him entirely. Grandpa, you might as well think about it, the Xiong family and our Gu family have always been at odds, they've always wanted to swallow up our Gu family, and besides, you know what kind of person Xiong Aiguo is, Dad must have fallen into Xiong Aiguo's trap, which is why he did such a foolish thing."

"Ugh!"

Grandpa Gu sighed softly and said, "Grandpa isn't unaware, it's just that your father actually—"

“Grandpa,” Gu Tingting said with a smile, “Didn’t Brother Bufan help us resolve the matter? From now on, the Xiong family will never dare to act recklessly again.”
