141: On the high platform
The reason Old Master Gao was doing this was to stall for time.
As long as the two Juniors of the Gao Family could escape, it would be worth it even if Old Master Gao died here.
The Gao Family must preserve its Bloodline; otherwise, the Gao Family would lose its Legacy in the future!
"Old Master Gao, since I dared to bring men to the Gao Family, it means I have already gathered intelligence. However, if you continue to deny it, I will not be polite." Zhang's face was dark, his words filled with threat.
Zhang's purpose for this trip was to find trouble with the Gao Family, but Old Master Gao kept refusing to admit anything.
Zhang didn't have any good methods to deal with this.
However, even at this point, Zhang was able to suppress the anger in his heart, which was truly not easy.
"Inspector Zhang, do you have any evidence? If you have no evidence, then please go back. This is not a place for you to act wildly!" Old Master Gao's face was grim; he was acting this way on purpose.
His goal was simple: Old Master Gao believed that Mulan Manor definitely had no evidence.
As long as Mulan Manor had no evidence, everything would be fine.
"Master, the Young Master refuses to leave, but the Young Miss has already been escorted out." The Gao Family's Butler stepped forward and whispered into his ear.
The Gao Family had a Secret Tunnel connecting to the outside, and the Gao Family's Young Miss was able to escape by relying on this tunnel.
"Good, you did well. Since Gao Yuan doesn't want to leave, then let him come over. Even if we die, the men of the Gao Family will die together." Old Master Gao spoke coldly.
At this moment, Old Master Gao had already prepared himself for death.
In truth, for Old Master Gao, he had lived long enough. If he couldn't take the Gao Family's power a step further, living such a base life was meaningless.
It would be better to die a glorious death in battle!
"Master, why don't you leave as well? As long as the green mountains remain, one need not worry about firewood." The Butler's intentions were good.
Although the Butler was not a member of the Gao Family by blood, he had worked hard for the Gao Family for most of his life and had long considered himself one of them.
Thus.
The Gao Family's Butler also wanted to do his part for the family.
However, the Gao Family's Butler had no cultivation; he was a man who lacked the strength to even truss a chicken.
"Enough, don't say such things. My Gao Family has never done anything to wrong Mulan Manor, so why should I flee?" Old Master Gao held his head high, adopting an attitude of refusing to admit anything even if it killed him.
After hearing these words.
The Butler was slightly stunned and took a sharp breath.
It had to be said that this Old Master Gao was truly shameless enough.
Just last night, Old Master Gao himself had said they would take action against the people of Mulan Manor, yet in the blink of an eye, he was refusing to admit it.
"Uh, yes, Master, I understand." The Butler nodded gently.
In fact, the Butler also understood Old Master Gao's meaning: regardless of whether the Gao Family had done it or not.
As long as the Gao Family didn't admit it, Mulan Manor would have no recourse.
"What are your thoughts?" Old Master Gao turned back and looked at the Butler.
"Master, my life belongs to the Gao Family. As long as you say the word to fight, don't look at my age—I can still lift a blade!" The Butler's face was grim, and a cold light burst from his eyes.
"Good, I am very reassured that the Gao Family has someone like you. In that case, I entrust the Gao Family to you. Leave this place quickly; in the future, you must take good care of the Young Miss!" Old Master Gao narrowed his eyes slightly.
Old Master Gao had already prepared to die, but before he died, he had to entrust his young granddaughter to someone.
Hearing this, the Butler shook his head.
"Master, no, I won't go. I must stay with you!" The Butler was quite loyal and did not want to flee like that.
"You are confused! For the sake of the Gao Family's future, you cannot stay here. Go quickly!" Old Master Gao waved his sleeve.
In truth, Old Master Gao's heart was as clear as a mirror.
Currently, Mulan Manor's power was at its peak; no sect in the world could resist them.
The Gao Family's opposition to Mulan Manor would ultimately be like an egg striking a stone.
Old Master Gao had already seen the Gao Family's end, but he still wanted to leave a trace of the Bloodline behind.
The Gao Family cannot just disappear like this!
In fact, at this point, Old Master Gao felt some regret; what he had done last night was indeed a bit impulsive.
If they hadn't moved against the people of Mulan Manor, they wouldn't be in this situation today.
But there is no medicine for regret in this world.
There was nothing to be done about it.
"Old Master Gao, I advise you to confess truthfully. I don't want to use force against your Gao Family, but if you continue like this, don't blame me for being impolite." A cold light burst from Zhang's eyes as he stared fixedly at Old Master Gao.
Actually, Zhang was also acting on orders. This matter had been assigned by the Head of the Gao Family, and he only had the part of obeying.
As such, there was no other way.
"Lord Zhang, what exactly do you want this old man to say? I have already said that this was not the Gao Family's doing. There must be someone behind this playing tricks!" Old Master Gao straightened his back, his gaze narrowing as he stared at Zhang.
"Oh? Is that so?" Zhang naturally did not believe these words.
It was just that Zhang did not want to take action against the Gao Family yet.
"Lord Zhang, if you don't believe it, you can find the person who said these words. I don't believe that something fabricated out of thin air can be used to frame someone like this!" Old Master Gao snorted, his head held high as a cold light burst from his eyes.
And right at this moment.
Zhang let out a long sigh, feeling quite helpless.
This Old Master Gao was clearly prepared to deny it to the death, so there was no other way.
"Fine, if Old Master Gao wants evidence, then I will give Old Master Gao evidence." Zhang waved his sleeve.
Hearing this, Old Master Gao's pupils constricted sharply, and he showed an expression of surprise.
Could it be that these people from Mulan Manor really have evidence?
That shouldn't be possible.
What exactly is going on!
They shouldn't have been exposed yesterday!
Old Master Gao couldn't help but feel some doubt in his heart. If someone had truly betrayed the Gao Family, then who could that person be?
Old Master Gao couldn't think of anyone for the moment!
"What? Is Old Master Gao afraid?" The corner of Zhang's mouth curled up; he had just caught Old Master Gao's expression.
If the Gao Family truly hadn't done it, Old Master Gao wouldn't have shown that expression just now.
However, Old Master Gao looked quite strange, so now things were clear!
"Afraid? Why would I be afraid? If my Gao Family hasn't done it, then we haven't done it. No one should think they can make the Gao Family plead guilty!" Old Master Gao's face was dark, and a cold light burst from his eyes.
And right at this moment.
Old Master Gao stepped forward and stood atop the high platform.
