"I don't know him either, but I heard Lee Soo-man and Lee Boo-jin both call him Mr. Gu. He's probably not one of us Koreans; it was him who instructed Lee Boo-jin to push me down the stairs from the 6th floor!"

"Mr. Gu?!"

Hearing this title, Ju Benmao was stunned.

"Yes, that's him! Grandpa, do you know him?"

Ju Benmao looked at Ju Haosu's pale face, not saying a word for a long time. It wasn't until Ju Haosu started feeling uneasy from the stare that Ju Benmao finally said slowly, "Starting now, tell me every detail of the conflict between you two. If you dare to hide anything, and the findings from my investigation differ even slightly from your account, I will immediately remove you from the Ju Clan, and from then on, you will have to fend for yourself."

After speaking, he waved his hand, signaling the accompanying personnel and the hospital director to leave.

Once the ward was left with just the grandfather and grandson, Ju Haosu realized that Gu Bai was definitely not just any ordinary Overseas Dragon.

Could a typical Overseas Dragon get Lee Boo-jin to do his bidding?

Could he make his grandfather, the head of the LG Group, act so solemn and serious?

Thinking of this, Ju Haosu recounted the events just as they had happened to Ju Benmao, not daring to embellish even a little. He even revealed his plan to trick Jung Soo-yeon onto the yacht party and what he intended to do, indicating the immense deterrence Ju Benmao held over him.

Ju Benmao wasn't interested in the other matters, but when he heard that Lee Boo-jin publicly stated that Gu Bai could represent the will of the Samsung Group, his muddled eyes suddenly sharpened, and he interrupted directly: "Are you saying that Lee Boo-jin acted like a subordinate in front of Gu Bai, even publicly stating that his will represented the entire Samsung?"

"That's right... Although my mind is still a bit hazy now, that statement is deeply imprinted in me. Initially, I thought they were using the Samsung Group's name to pressure me... But thinking it over now, Lee Boo-jin wouldn't have needed to use Samsung's name to deal with me."

Ju Benmao leaned on his cane, just standing silently at the bedside.

He was well aware of what a cunning fox Lee Kun-hee was. With less than 10% of the shares, he firmly controlled Samsung for so many years, preventing foreign financial groups from touching even a fraction of it. This already proved that Lee Kun-hee's abilities far surpassed his own, Cui Taiyuan, and Zheng Xiangyong. This was also why Samsung could currently overshadow their three families and firmly hold the top spot. It's worth noting that in its early days, Samsung wasn't as vast as it is now.

So when a few days ago Lee Kun-hee asked the three financial groups to welcome Gu Bai together, no one rejected the proposition.

If it weren't for that, although the name of the Future Foundation might be intimidating, it meant nothing to them. They only cared about Samsung's stance. Previously, when Lee Kun-hee said Gu Bai owned the majority of Samsung's shares, Ju Benmao was skeptical. But based on what Ju Haosu just said, Ju Benmao finally believed that Lee Kun-hee hadn't deceived them. Otherwise, someone like Lee Boo-jin, the Eldest Princess representing Samsung's image, wouldn't have said such a thing about Gu Bai being the embodiment of Samsung's will in front of outsiders.

At this thought, Ju Benmao's expression turned grave.

Even though this was an internal Samsung affair, given the size of Samsung, changes within would affect all of Goryeo, especially impacting financial conglomerates like theirs. It must be treated with caution.

Seeing that Ju Haosu was fine now, he no longer worried.

"Let this matter rest as it is. That Mr. Gu won't stay in Goryeo for long. You just rest well in the hospital during this time, and come out when he leaves."

Saying that, Ju Benmao prepared to leave.

Seeing that his grandfather showed no intention of standing up for him, Ju Haosu hastily said, "Grandpa, you mean to just let this go?"

Ju Benmao looked at his useless grandson and said calmly, "What else would I do?"

"I'm lying here in the hospital, and many people know the grandson of the LG Group's chairman was pushed from the 6th floor; this is a matter of face for the Ju Clan."

"You still care about our Ju Clan's face? Everything you've done over these years is a matter of face for the clan. The company's PR department is almost your personal team, constantly cleaning up your messes!"

Ju Haosu blushed with embarrassment from the scolding but still unwillingly said, "But..."

"No buts. Do you think I should demand an explanation from Samsung for you or have Mr. Gu apologize? This Mr. Gu isn't someone you can provoke. Even if you were dead here, no one would stand up for you, just like that girl you drove to suicide."

"..."

After speaking, Ju Benmao didn't stay longer, directly stepping out and instructing his assistant to contact Zheng Xiangyong and Cui Taiyuan immediately.

Such a significant change, the Hyundai Group and SK Group couldn't possibly ignore.

After Ju Benmao left, Ju Haosu lay silently on the hospital bed for a long time. He initially thought his grandfather would help him regain his dignity, but now it seemed not being asked to apologize to Gu Bai was already fortunate.

At this thought, Ju Haosu's usually delicate face twisted slightly.

He already had some psychological issues, or he wouldn't have those specific preferences in that regard.

Being humiliated like this now, but unable to retaliate, the intangible fury was almost uncontrollably burning within him. Staring at his phone on the bedside, with Jung Soo-yeon's poster as the screen saver, imagining his beloved prey bending to Gu Bai made him even more unable to accept it.
