Chapter 1268 The Gu Family Is Nothing Without Gu Jingze
Xue Mengqi looked at the security guards outside. After Gu Jingze had taken his guards with him,
these guards were all new. They had been stationed here by the Gu familys n rtives. They
were still not familiar with this ce, so they looked much more inexperienced than the former
security guards in the headquarters.
But there was a group of them who had been there previously as the former security guards at the
headquarters were notprised only of Gu Jingzes guards. A few other security guards had been
stationed there by the n rtives. However, since they were in name employed by the n
rtives, Gu Jingze could not take them with him. Thus, they could only look on helplessly as Gu
Jingze left. They themselves appeared slightly awkward here.
After all, all of them had been tasked to protect Gu Jingze back then. Now that Gu Jingze was gone,
they were not well-received by the n rtives since they had protected Gu Jingze before. The
n rtives would definitely suspect that these people had pledged loyalty to Gu Jingze. On Gu
Jingzes end, there was absolutely no way he would bring them with him since they were originally
with the n rtives.
Therefore, as they looked at the newbies right now, they could not help but find them amateur.
If Gu Jingze was around, people of their caliber would not even qualify to get into the headquarters.
However, as the n rtives did not have sufficient manpower, all the people they had sent here
were those who had just started training.
Xue Mengqi looked on and called the veterans in immediately. Since early on, she had wanted to
have her own personal guards. However, she and the rest did not qualify for it.
In the past, when she saw that Gu Jingzes personal guards were so formidable, had absolute
loyalty towards him, and put their master before them everywhere they went, she felt jealous
beyondpare.
But at the time, everyone would definitely have made a joke out of her if she said she wanted
personal guards. The Gu family would not train personal guards for them and it would further
expose her ambition.
So, Xue Mengqi could only envy him in her heart and dared not say a word.
But things were different now. Gu Jingze had left and the n rtives were managing the
headquarters. She was perfectly well-ced to bring it up.
As a result, she immediately took a look at the security guards currently in her home, only to realize
that not one of them could match up to Gu Jingzes personal guards. Whether in terms of their
capability or experience, they could notpare.
Personal guards like them would merely be personal guards in name. They would be no different
from ordinary security guards either.
After looking over and over again, she still felt that the security guards at the headquarters back
then were the best.
She also understood that the people chosen by Gu Jingze would definitely be different from others.
They would definitely have gone through many rounds of selection. Naturally, they were much better
than others.
In no time, she gathered everyone to the office. Then, she smiled and said, "Congrattions, all of
you. Im telling all of you now that youve be personal guards. Henceforth, you will no longer be
ordinary security guards. You will have your own organization, your responsibilities and your own
mission."
In the Gu family, bing a personal guard was an extremely high honor.
Because only the strongest people, the elites during training and actual operations. Could be
selected to be personal guards.
Bing a personal guard also meant that you were the strongest.
Thus, when she said that they were going to be personal guards, she was basically congratting
all of them.
However, the people in front looked at each other without any joy on their faces at all.
They had no reaction to this at all.
Xue Mengqi asked, "Why is it that all of you dont want this honor?"
However, condescension was written all over everyones faces when they looked at the haughty Xue
Mengqi.
"Miss Xue, whose personal guards are we? The Gu family doesnt have a master anymore."
Xue Mengqi said, "Theres no master now. But there will be in the future."
"In that case, lets talk about this again when a master is chosen in the future."
Xue Mengqis expression changedpletely.
"What do all of you mean by this?"
The people in front said, "All personal guards serve the head of the family and the people whom the
master instructs them to serve. The first master they follow after leaving the training camp is their
master for life. At the moment, we dont have a master, nor are we fresh out of the training camp, so
were not suitable."
Xue Mengqi said, "Those rules were made by people. Naturally, they can also be changed by
people."
"Whats the point then? You can just instruct us as security guards."
Personal guards like these would no longer be the most powerful personal guards of the past.
Xue Mengqi looked at these people. She could clearly sense the obvious disdain with which they
treated her.
They did not have much respect for her at all.
Xue Mengqi mmed the table. "Get this straight, all of you. Right now, the Gu family doesnt have a
master anymore. But we are still your masters. The Gu family has not dissolved and I, Xue Mengqi,
am one of the main people running it now."
They scoffed. "But youre not Mr Gu."
"You.. You guys dont want to work anymore, right"
"A ce like this is no longer suitable for us to stay," he said.
Xue Mengqis face turn ashen. She could not believe that they were rolling their eyes at her when
she harbored good intentions of promoting them.
She felt all the more so when she saw that he was not the only one with such an expression. Nearly
everyone had such an expression.
One after another, they said, "Exactly. Our master isnt Mr. Gu, and the people outside are all sissies
fresh out of the training camp. Howme."
"I cant believe such weak people have the nerve toe to the headquarters."
"The headquarters will never be the headquarters of the past."
"Precisely. Theres no point in us being here anymore."

"Its better for us to resign and seek Mr. Gu out."
"Sure. Lets go and look for Mr. Gu."
The entire row of people started to make noise.
Xue Mengqi was truly dumbfounded.
Over here, all else aside, just the sry alone was impossibly tempting. But they actually wanted to
resign and look for Gu Jingze.
Were they serious?
"Hey, you guys" Xue Mengqi gritted her teeth. "Fine, fine. Go ahead and look for him. The current
Gu Jingze is no longer the Gu Jingze of the past too. Hes no longer the head of the Gu family. Hes
merely an ordinary wealthy man. Aspared to the Gu family, hes nothing now. In the future, the
Gu family will definitely target him and squeeze whatever he has now,pletely dry. If you follow
him, you can forget about ever getting the honor and sry you have here. When that happens, all
of you will just go cold and hungry."
They scoffed briefly and looked at Xue Mengqi.
"Were perfectly willing to go cold and hungry as long as were with Mr. Gu."
"Exactly. Who is Mr. Gu? Do you think just anyone can be Gu Jingze?"
"If theres even one person among you idiots who is stronger than Mr. Gu, Ill walk on my knees."
"All of you added up cant evenpare to one Mr. Gu. Yet you still want to go against Mr. Gu."
While speaking, they removed the uniform they were wearing immediately and threw their uniforms
aside with their badges.
"Without Mr. Gu, the Gu family crest is just rubbish."
They walked out immediately after throwing their uniforms aside.
They left Xue Mengqi behind alone. She looked at the uniforms and badges on the ground. She
was so angry that her entire body was trembling.
Gu Jingze was idling about at home. After withdrawing from the Gu family, he apanied Lin Che
to herpany.
Lin Che said, "Theres nothing else to do for the game now. But before this, we nearly got awsuit
on our hands."
Gu Jingze said, "With your level of intelligence, its possible that you didnt take everything into
consideration."
