Growth-type Super Rich-Chapter 460 - 291: Forgiving Him on God’s Behalf (Part 3)

Ju Benmao looked at the smile on Gu Bai’s face and couldn’t help but say, "Mr. Gu, have you agreed?"

Gu Bai shrugged and said, "I’m a businessman, Chairman Ju is using a business approach to resolve the conflict between us, what reason do I have to disagree?"

Gu Bai knew that just this part of the transfer had already cost Ju Benmao dearly. After all, the LG Group is not solely Ju Benmao’s, and the shareholders behind him will not bear it with him.

Gu Bai was right; this 2.65 billion USD is equivalent to Ju Benmao using his personal assets to buy from various LG Group shareholders, and the 2 billion USD difference will be borne by the Ju Clan. But there’s no other choice; if it were two or three decades ago when he was strong and healthy, he wouldn’t make such a decision, preferring to go head-to-head with Samsung! But now it’s different.

He knows his own body very well.

He has no more than two years left, and to prevent LG’s leadership from falling into others’ hands, he can only make such a choice. The scenes of various directorate members pressing him these days are still vivid in his mind. Although Ju Guangmo is not his biological son, he is still a member of the Ju Clan, so he naturally has to pave the way for Ju Guangmo.

Suddenly, Ju Benmao pondered for a long time, then spoke again, "Mr. Gu, I have another request that may be unpleasant..."

Gu Bai looked at him mockingly; if he guessed correctly, Ju Benmao wanted to plead for his grandson.

"Please speak, Chairman Ju."

"I hope Mr. Gu can spare Haosu. I privately own two buildings in Hua Country, with a total value of 1.15 billion USD. If Mr. Gu wishes, I can gift them to you, but the condition is that Haosu can survive."

Upon hearing this, Gu Bai deliberately made an exaggerated expression and said, "As far as I know, your Goryeo’s inspection agency has already defined this matter as a terrorist incident, right? Now the entire Goryeo police force is searching for him. How could I possibly ensure his survival? Chairman Ju truly overestimates me."

"I only ask Mr. Gu not to let your higher-ups continue to exert pressure; the follow-up issues can be handled by us."

"As expected of Korea Group, Chairman Ju’s power impresses me."

Ju Benmao’s meaning was that without external pressure, in Goryeo, their LG Group has the capability to handle this matter, and Gu Bai couldn’t help but be impressed by the terrifying extent of chaebols in Goryeo.

"Mr. Gu, your intention is?"

Gu Bai spread his hands, making a nonchalant expression and said, "Since Chairman Ju has said it, of course I have no objections. However, the buildings are still unnecessary; I can stop exerting pressure, but asking me to forgive him is such a demanding thing, Chairman Ju wouldn’t make me do it, would he?"

Hearing Gu Bai’s agreement, Ju Benmao was inwardly relieved, knowing that his only grandson should be saved.

Just then, Gu Bai’s phone vibrated, a video was sent to his phone.

"Boss, he has been found, and the hired organization has dealt with it."

Gu Bai read this text, opened the video on his phone, and saw a scene of a small yacht being destroyed at sea, flowers blossomed, making thick gray-black smoke rise on the blue sea.

The short ten-second video made Gu Bai’s smile uncontrollable.

"Mr. Gu, did something good happen?"

Hearing Ju Benmao’s words, Gu Bai laughed heartily and said, "It’s nothing happy, just resolved a concern, forgiving a lost lamb on behalf of God."

Although Ju Benmao found it confusing, he followed up with congratulations.

After discussing the details with Ju Benmao for more than half an hour, the old man stood up to leave; Gu Bai, since watching the video, had noticeably improved mood and also stood up to send him off.

It wasn’t until sitting in the car on the way back that Ju Guangmo answered a call, and Ju Benmao understood what Gu Bai meant by forgiving a lost lamb on behalf of God.

"Father... just received a call from the coast guard that Haosu was on a yacht intending to flee overseas when it was sunk by an overseas organization... No one on the yacht survived.

Haosu was among them..."

Hearing this, Ju Benmao felt faint and almost passed out.

Ju Guangmo hurriedly supported him.

The father and son were both smart people; they clearly understood who was behind this matter.

After hesitating for a long time, Ju Guangmo finally said hesitantly, "Father... do we still continue the deal with Gu Bai?"

After a long pause, Ju Benmao’s aged face reluctantly nodded.

His grandson had made his own demise; he didn’t want to leave a mess for his adopted son.

Hearing Ju Benmao’s words, Ju Guangmo showed no change outwardly but couldn’t help laughing inwardly.

With Haosu dead, the old man had no choice but to leave the inheritance rights to himself; in this regard, he had to thank Gu Bai. Even if Ju Benmao wanted to terminate the deal with Gu Bai, he would have to obstruct it.

Not for anything else, but so he could secure his position as the heir to the LG Group.
