Chapter 819 Uncle's Self-Reflection: Severing All Past Ties
The uncle squinted behind his glasses, took a deep drag on his cigarette, and then exhaled. The white smoke slowly dissipated, obscuring his face.

My uncle took another puff of his cigarette and then stubbed it out in the ashtray three times in a row.

Her tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and she looked at the silent Gao Dongxu with a relieved expression, and said with a faint smile: "Your aunt has always had a question in her mind, which is what is so good about her? Why have I been infatuated with her for so many years?"

Yes, a girl from a small fishing village could make me, a cautious and calculating person all my life, risk ruining my future and abandoning my wife, to spend the rest of my life with her.

Your aunt's confusion has made me think for a long time, and the final answer is one that I feel deeply ashamed of and unwilling to face.

At this moment, Gao Dongxu naturally couldn't and didn't need to respond; what his uncle needed now was simply a quiet, silent listener.

The uncle opened the brown paper bag, his face ashen, and he quickly examined the photos with sharp eyes. Then he took out a photo of himself and Yu Jiafeng, staring blankly at the photo, seemingly lost in memories.

"Back then, in my heart, she was truly a pure and untainted spirit, a youthful angel in a turbid world."

Years ago, I attended an event as a guest. In the crowd, she stood out in her red cheongsam. I initially thought she was just a pretty face in that evil dragon company, but when asked about her reading preferences, her answer shocked me. She said, "I think the book '1587' tells the history of the Ming Dynasty very clearly."

This sentence felt like I had found a kindred spirit. I have always held myself in high esteem and longed to become a "capable person" in history, leaving my mark on the long river of time. Her insights made me feel that she understood my inner world.

Because of this, I became deeply involved, mistakenly believing it to be the result of her self-study, and thus broke my principles to help that evil dragon and abandon my original spouse.

From then on, I strayed from the right path. I even deceived myself into believing that I was doing it for love, for what was most precious to me. But the truth is, our true love was an elaborate deception from the very beginning. The reason she was able to move me was because someone was arranging things for her behind the scenes. From wearing high heels and practicing etiquette to studying the history of the Ming Dynasty, her every move was manipulated.

True love? Frankly, it's nothing more than lust at first sight; the truth is cruel. I grew weary of your aunt's aging appearance, yet I was captivated by her beauty. But all along, I've been deceiving myself; my intellectual pride prevents me from admitting my shallowness…

Listening to his uncle's candid confession, his directness to his own heart, and his admission of his mistakes, Gao Dongxu didn't know what to say. In the end, he said helplessly, "This is not your fault. You just made a mistake that all men make."

Hearing Gao Dongxu's excuse, the uncle's lips twitched, and he shook his head with a wry smile. Only then did he realize that his own nephew, surrounded by those stunning beauties, was the real playboy and scumbag.

To confide in him directly would be a waste of time and emotion, like asking a blind man for advice.

"Ding--"

Uncle lit another cigarette, took a few puffs, looked up at Gao Dongxu and smiled, “To be honest, before I knew I was stuck in a quagmire, but I could only deceive myself and numb myself, placing all my hopes on the evil dragon’s family. Like a cornered beast, I fought desperately, and many things I knew were impossible but had to do anyway… Now it’s all right, I can finally sleep peacefully.”

Looking at his uncle, who seemed relieved and had a faint smile on his face, Gao Dongxu said with a smile, "I'm already urging Yu Jiaqin to sell the assets of the Yi Group and let her immigrate to Singapore. Hong Kong is too close after all. The money she's earned over the years is enough for them to spend..."

The uncle looked at Gao Dongxu with deep eyes, and finally nodded silently, tacitly agreeing to Gao Dongxu's arrangement.

To be honest, the uncle was also a little wary of his increasingly unfathomable and powerful nephew.

Of course, this apprehension was not out of fear that it would be detrimental to him; on the contrary, it was out of concern that being too kind to him would lead to secretly eliminating any factors that might be detrimental to him.

There's nothing else to it; the only thing that could pose a safety hazard right now is the fishermen's harem and the children in Hong Kong.

Given the expectations and hopes his nephew had for him, he was certain that if the Fisherman's Qin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument) ever became an obstacle to his advancement or evidence to undermine him, his nephew would show no mercy.

Gao Dongxu didn't want the conversation to revolve around the two fisherwomen, because in his view, if the two sisters behaved themselves, their uncle would have a smooth journey, and they would finally land safely, then everything would be fine.

If he causes trouble and affects his uncle's future, he will not hesitate to kill the mother and keep the child. For the future of the Gao family, and especially for the political legacy that his own descendants can inherit in the country, he will not be soft-hearted at all, even if his uncle resents him in the end.

"Have you seen everything on this?" The uncle picked up a CD, looked at the number on it, and then looked at Gao Dongxu, asking.

Gao Dongxu shook his head and laughed, "I've seen the photos, but not the rest. To be honest, I did think about using these things to make a fuss, at least to extort some hush money from these people, but then I worried that it would cause panic and cause you trouble, so I gave up."

Upon hearing Gao Dongxu's plan, the uncle's lips twitched, and he shook his head with a wry smile. However, a strange light flickered in his deep eyes, and he said with a faint smile, "You—" Gao Dongxu shrugged and said, "I'm just making use of waste, making these parasites spit out their dirty money, and then I'll use that money to make some investments and give back to society in another way."

"Alright, I understand. I'll take a look first," the uncle said with a shake of his head and a smile.

Gao Dongxu knew that in his hands, this so-called record of the conduct of officials was nothing more than a handle to extort money, but in his uncle's hands it could play a much greater role.

He believed that once his uncle had seen everything, he would definitely make a big deal out of it. After all, the reason that evil dragon was able to sail smoothly and unimpeded was because it used his father's power to win over a large group of people and form a group of interests.

One radish, one hole. There are only so many holes. How can you plant your own radish if you don't pull out other people's radishes first?

After chatting with his uncle for a while, Gao Dongxu went downstairs with him, said goodbye to his aunt, and returned to the Rose Garden with Shang Youyou.

That night, both the uncle and Gao Dongxu slept very soundly.

My uncle felt light and energetic, as if he had become several years younger.

As for Gao Dongxu, he finally convinced Shang Youyou to let the Ruxin and Ruqing sisters join the card game. Although he lost several small goals, he was really happy.

Even Shang Youyou, who was the most difficult to persuade, was willing to join the game, so it was naturally easier for the others to agree.

Unfortunately, he simply couldn't be in two places at once. No matter how skilled he was at time management, he couldn't possibly take care of everything within a single timeframe.

Therefore, by getting together as a team and playing in leagues, he can have plenty of time.

Anyway, his body is already extraordinary, very resilient, has plenty of power, and strong endurance. Throwing a dozen or so small targets each time won't affect his foundation at all.

With his uncle's plans cleared, Gao Dongxu didn't linger in Hangzhou any longer. After all, as the initiator and director of this gathering in the capital, he needed to be in charge and oversee the overall situation.

Upon returning to the capital, Gao Dongxu received a call from Su Nan saying that there was something important to discuss in person. He temporarily interrupted his tutoring session with Monk Youyou and rushed to Zhenbaoge. There, he met Su Nan, who had her hair in braids and was wearing a tight orange-red knitted dress that deliberately accentuated her sexy and hot figure, highlighting her superior conscience.

"Heh, this is the map you bought for a million? It's pretty abstract... You didn't get scammed, did you?"

Gao Dongxu almost died laughing inside when he saw the hand-drawn abstract map of the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top that Su Nan handed him as soon as they met, but on the surface he just teased her with a playful expression.

Su Nan's beautiful eyes sparkled, her back ramrod straight, and she deliberately raised her head and puffed out her chest with a charming smile: "The map is definitely real. It may not be as detailed as the map that will be auctioned at the Crescent Hotel tonight, but we can use the general directions marked on this map to track the forces that will win the bid for the map tonight..."

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?" Gao Dongxu raised an eyebrow and smiled as he looked at Su Nan's conscience, which was clearly even greater than the last time he saw it, and asked.

Seeing Gao Dongxu's lustful eyes, which seemed to want to see through things, Su Nan sneered smugly to herself.

It was worth wearing the shaping garment; the effect was remarkable, making the lecherous demon in front of me unable to look away.

"That's right. The dangers of the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds are unimaginable. Rather than rushing ahead to pave the way, it's better to follow behind..."

"Hehe, have you ever thought that if you can spend a million to buy a map, can't other people or forces buy one too?"

"You want to be the one who catches the cicada, but don't the others want to be too?" Gao Dongxu raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile.

"Then what do you mean?" Su Nan frowned and asked Gao Dongxu.
