Secondly, the Gattuso family will not let him leave easily.
Gu Ran seemed to sense the young master's hesitation. Caesar would not leave the Gattuso family unless he was driven to the brink of desperation.
He suggested, "Since we can't leave, we might as well fight for it."
"Compete?" Caesar didn't quite understand.
"Strive to be the most powerful one in the family." Gu Ran glanced at Percy not far away, not caring that he was present, and continued to say to Caesar, "Once you gain power and influence in the family, who will dare to criticize you?"
“Power and strength…” Caesar thought of his father Pompeii and shook his head: “Being the head of the family is useless. The Gattuso family still has the council of elders. They are the ones who truly hold power.”
Gu Ran asked with a smile, "Have you studied the history of the dynasties of China?"
Chapter 287 Honey Trap?
Caesar replied, "I've read a general history, so I have some understanding."
Gu Ran said, "Throughout Chinese history, the first thing any capable emperor did upon taking the throne was to strengthen centralized power. This was true for emperors like Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Taizong of Tang, and Emperor Taizu of Song. The same is true in the West. Julius Caesar, the founder of the Roman Empire, centralized power as his first act upon taking the throne."
Caesar pondered for a moment, then said with a solemn expression, "However, the premise of centralized power is a foundation of power, and I have no real power in my family."
“No, you do,” Gu Ran laughed. “Don’t your old folks think you have the best bloodline? That’s your right. As long as you’re shameless, you can use that to get more.”
"Shameless..."
"Politics is all about who is more shameless. Li Shimin was shameless, so he launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident, killed his brother and imprisoned his father, ascended the throne, and ushered in the Zhenguan Era, which has been praised for generations. Zhu Yunwen, on the other hand, was too concerned about his reputation and could not bring himself to kill his uncle. As a result, during the Jingnan Campaign, Nanjing was burned to the ground and his power was lost to others."
Caesar fell into deep thought again, knowing the meaning of the historical events Gu Ran had mentioned.
"By the way, I don't think you need to worry too much about your family disapproving of your marriage." Gu Ran covered himself with a blanket, closed his eyes, and said calmly, "Since they were able to make your father marry your mother before, they can definitely make you marry Nuonuo next. The so-called marriage contract is just a bargaining chip for them to control you. It's very likely that Nuonuo is a bride they have already scouted. If you don't marry her, the old folks in your family will beg you to marry her!"
Gu Ran's last words seemed to remind Caesar of something, and his mind suddenly became clear.
Frost had previously stated that the family was willing to approve Caesar and Nono's marriage, which indicates that the Gattuso family was happy to accept Nono.
But the family used this as a bargaining chip to exchange with Caesar.
Just as Gu Ran said, people who play politics are all shameless!
*……*……*
The Gulfstream private jet was faster than a regular flight, and it arrived in Beijing at 3 a.m. in the Eastern Time Zone.
Because of the time difference, everyone on the plane is very energetic.
Gu Ran and Caesar, along with five others, disembarked from the plane and went through the VIP channel.
The Gattuso family had arranged a motorcade for Caesar well in advance, with a stretch Lincoln parked outside the VIP passage.
"Damn, the captain's family is really something else!" Xia Mi looked at the stretch Lincoln and peered through the window like a child.
There's a big sofa inside, and champagne and snacks are all provided!
“Girl, why don’t you live with me?” Nono said, pulling Susie’s hand. “I can’t sleep without you.”
"You never sleep well, I can't sleep well with you around!" Susie said with a smile, pinching Nuonuo's cheek.
At this moment, a group of people walked out from the side. There were ten people in total. The woman in the lead was exquisite and beautiful. She was wearing a black gothic dress and her face was as cold as frost.
Behind her were two women in black business suits, and behind them were men in black suits with black shirts underneath.
Caesar and Percy both turned to look at these people, clearly noticing their bloodline, and both became wary.
The group stopped in front of Gu Ran.
Caesar and Percy then realized that these were people from the Chinese aristocratic family who had come to pick up Gu Ran.
Gu Ran immediately raised his hand to stop the group of men in black: "Don't call me 'Young Master' or anything like that, and don't bow down to me. That's too childish and stupid!"
A woman behind Zhang Wanjun paused, seemingly realizing they genuinely shared this idea.
Xia Mi then leaned over and asked, "Senior Gu, is your family involved in the underworld?"
"The Gattuso family are the real gangsters, ever heard of the Mafia?" Gu Ran patted Xia Mi's head. "Go on, be a good spy!"
How did you know I was going to be a spy?
"you guess?"
Urged on by Nono, Xia Mi got into the 'Mafia' family's car and openly became a 'traitor'.
"Have you arranged a place to stay?" Gu Ran asked Zhang Wanjun. "Take us to our accommodations first."
"it is good."
The group consisted of five cars, and Zhang Wanjun was still driving that black Aston Martin sports car.
She said to Zero and Susie, "You two can ride in my car."
Susie went along with the host's wishes, and Zero obediently dragged his suitcase and put it in the trunk.
“Gu Ran, you can ride in my car,” a long-legged girl wearing bare legs stepped out and opened the door of a two-seater Porsche. “My name is Zhang Zhenqi, and I really hope to have a private chat with you.”
Gu Ran glanced at the girl named Zhang Zhenqi. First of all, her legs were thin and long, just like a model's. She had a slender figure with a curvy figure, and her face was also delicate, with an oval face, big eyes, full lips, fair and smooth skin, and long flowing hair.
With her temperament and looks, she would be a campus beauty anywhere. Just those fair and straight legs alone are enough to make a bunch of otaku drool.
According to Gu Ran's ranking of the beauties he had seen, her appearance was on par with Liu Miaomiao, but slightly inferior to Shang Nuonuo, Su Xiaoqiang, and Ling.
"Little brother, come quick!" Zhang Zhenqi casually took Gu Ran's hand and led him into the passenger seat.
After getting into the car, Zhang Zhenqi turned to the side and said, "Little brother, don't move. Let me fasten your seatbelt."
Before Gu Ran could refuse, she leaned closer to him, her face so close that Gu Ran could see her fair and delicate skin, and the faint scent of her perfume filled the air, making Gu Ran eager to get closer.
He lowered his gaze slightly and saw the white skin beneath her shirt, two buttons deliberately left undone, revealing the breathtaking beauty of the snow-capped mountains.
It's still pretty.
Gu Ran, with the spirit of "why not take advantage of a freebie", thoroughly enjoyed the visual feast.
Zhang Zhenqi noticed Gu Ran's gaze and smiled smugly to herself.
The car started, and Zhang Zhenqi, looking lively and cheerful, asked Gu Ran all sorts of questions, as if she were checking his household registration.
Gu Ran responded half-heartedly, trying to figure out Zhang Zhenqi's purpose.
There are no free lunches; if there are, they're definitely a honey trap.
Zhang Zhenqi drives recklessly, just like Nuonuo. They both like to drive sports cars and constantly change lanes and overtake, but there aren't many cars on the road now, yet she still does it like that.
There was a traffic light at the intersection. Seemingly to test the car's performance, she floored the accelerator, giving Gu Ran a feeling of being pushed back in his seat, and then slammed on the brakes in an instant, the tires screeching against the ground.
"Idiot!" Gu Ran cursed inwardly. Isn't it disturbing the peace to do this so late at night? Even Nuonuo is more polite than this idiot; she wouldn't drive like this in a residential area so late at night.
The sudden braking caused a water bottle on the armrest box to fall into the car.
Zhang Zhenqi said in a coquettish tone, "Little brother, can you help me pick it up? It's inconvenient for me to pick it up while I'm driving. It'll be bad if it rolls to the brake and affects driving safety."
Gu Ran tilted her head and looked down, seeing those long, slender, fair legs. If she bent down to pick them up, her face would definitely be close to her bare thighs.
This girl is quite daring in using her beauty to seduce someone.
He chuckled softly, turned his eyes wide, and gently struck the bottle cap with his Soft Fist - Bagua Empty Palm, causing the bottle to bounce up.
He had calculated the angle perfectly for this palm strike; after the water bottle bounced up, it flew right into Gu Ran's hand.
Zhang Zhenqi was stunned for a moment, then immediately said in a sweet and coquettish tone, "Wow, little brother is so amazing! Awesome!"
Seeing her act cute and coquettish, you'd think she was a soft, gentle girl.
Gu Ran noticed the muscle density in her body; the strength contained in her slender legs was no weaker than that of Su Qian.
Judging from this, her lineage must be quite good, but it's unclear what her Word of Power is.
Zhang Zhenqi was initially disappointed when she saw that Gu Ran didn't press his face against her thigh, but now that she saw Gu Ran staring intently at her legs, she felt a little smug.
She smiled charmingly and said, "Little brother, am I pretty?"
"It's beautiful." Gu Ran took out her phone and said, "Can I take a picture of you, sister?"
“Sure!” Zhang Zhenqi gripped the steering wheel with one hand, gave a thumbs-up, and showed off her long legs.
Gu Ran took a full-body photo of her and then sent it to Su Xiaoqiang on QQ.
"I almost lost my virginity to seduction today, and you have to make it up to me afterwards!"
It was still the middle of the night, and Su Xiaoqiang was already asleep, so she didn't reply to his message.
Gu Ran and Zhang Zhenqi chatted for a while longer, and this time it was Gu Ran's turn to try and get information out of her.
Zhang Zhenqi, 23 years old, graduated from the University of Hong Kong, is a member of the Zhang family, and her blood relationship with Gu Ran is beyond four generations. She has an A-level bloodline and her Word of Power is kept secret, but she is likely a combatant.
The bodyguards who came with them were all elites of the younger generation of the Zhang family, with bloodlines of grade B or above.
Because Gu Ran is the swordsman of the Zhang family, he holds a special position and can directly command these people, who will obey him unconditionally.
“So little brother, you can order your sister to do anything!” Zhang Zhenqi winked playfully at Gu Ran.
"Really? Well..." Gu Ran looked at her slender figure and smiled, "Can you drive properly? How many times did you brake suddenly? Can you drive more steadily? If you can't drive, let me drive!"
The barrage of questions startled Zhang Zhenqi. She glanced at Gu Ran's expression and saw that he seemed somewhat half-serious, unable to fathom his thoughts.
Fortunately, they had already reached their destination.
Zhang Zhenqi chuckled a few times to cover up her embarrassment, and at the same time changed the subject: "Little brother, we've arranged an executive suite for you, all by yourself. It's very convenient and private, you can do whatever you want."
She subtly teased Gu Ran.
Gu Ran nodded and said, "Thank you, sister!"
After the car came to a stop, he got out without any expression, as if he had just been putting on an act.
Zhang Zhenqi got out of the car at this time. Looking at his back, she thought to herself that although this guy had been leering at her figure, he hadn't touched her. He was just looking at her but not touching her.
Chapter 288 Living on a Nuclear Bomb
Zhang Zhenqi thought that Gu Ran and his fiancée had been separated for several months and were in the prime of their youth. She should be able to win him over easily by seducing him.
Could it be... that he has another partner at school who helps him satisfy his sexual needs?
Zhang Zhenqi glanced at the two girls from Kassel College behind her. Both Susie and Zero had unique charm and were just as good-looking as she was.
Especially that Russian girl with zero skin, her skin was as white as snow, her small face was delicate and aloof, and her light golden short hair was very smooth, her temperament was like that of an ice queen.
