Rebirth and Reversal of Fortune

Chapter 59 Gu Yu's Conspiracy

Dejected and unwilling to accept defeat, Gu Yu devised a new conspiracy.

Once a man of boundless glory, Gu Yu is now ragged and languishing in a dark, damp corner, barely clinging to life. His resentment towards Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling grows ever stronger, and the fire of anger in his heart burns relentlessly.

"I, Gu Yu, will never let this go. Su Jinxiu, Xiao Ling, you just wait!" he muttered to himself through gritted teeth.

Gu Yu inquired about Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling everywhere, searching for their weaknesses. After some investigation, he discovered that Su Jinxiu was vigorously establishing a girls' school, which gave him an idea.

He found a group of thugs and bribed them with his meager savings.

"Listen up, go to the girls' school and cause trouble, make a big scene," Gu Yu said fiercely.

Following Gu Yu's instructions, the group of thugs stormed into the girls' school on its opening day.

"What kind of lousy school is this? Close the door right now!" they shouted, frightening the female students.

Upon learning the news, Su Jinxiu rushed to the school.

"How dare you cause trouble here!" Su Jinxiu shouted angrily.

The thugs and hooligans, upon seeing Su Jinxiu, not only did not restrain themselves, but became even more arrogant.

"Su Jinxiu, don't be so smug, today is your last day," one of them shouted.

Despite the danger, Su Jinxiu remained calm and directed the school's guards to fight against the thugs.

Just as the situation descended into chaos, Xiao Ling arrived in time with his troops.

"Take them all down!" Xiao Ling ordered, and the thugs were instantly subdued.

Gu Yu's first plot failed, but he did not give up.

He began spreading rumors that the girls' school was a place of debauchery, which led some conservatives to criticize Su Jinxiu.

“A woman who doesn’t stay at home to be a good wife and mother, but instead runs a school, is simply violating the virtues of womanhood.”

Su Jinxiu remained unmoved by these accusations.

"Women also have the right to pursue knowledge and progress, and I will not give up because of these rumors," she said firmly.

Seeing that this plan had failed, Gu Yu came up with an even more vicious scheme.

He secretly sneaked into the Marquis's residence and set fire to the warehouse.

The fire raged, and everyone in the Marquis's mansion was thrown into a panic.

"Quickly put out the fire!"

Upon learning the news, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling rushed back to the Marquis's residence.

“This must have been done on purpose,” Xiao Ling said.

After some investigation, they discovered clues left by Gu Yu.

"It's that despicable Gu Yu again!" Su Jinxiu was furious.

Xiao Ling decided to take the initiative and sent people to search for Gu Yu's whereabouts.

Finally, they found Gu Yu in a dilapidated house.

“Gu Yu, your scheme will not succeed,” Xiao Ling said.

Gu Yu laughed loudly: "Even if I die, I'll take you all down with me."

Just then, Gu Yu suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed at Su Jinxiu.

Xiao Ling reacted quickly and stepped in front of Su Jinxiu.

The dagger pierced Xiao Ling's shoulder, and blood flowed freely.

"Xiao Ling!" Su Jinxiu exclaimed.

The officers and soldiers rushed forward and subdued Gu Yu.

Xiao Ling's injuries were not serious, but this incident made Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling more vigilant.

However, what they didn't know was that Gu Yu had an even deeper accomplice, who was preparing a new conspiracy...

Su Jinxiu noticed Gu Yu's unusual behavior and began to investigate secretly.
