No way, to complete the task, you can even go so far as to hurt yourself, that's really ruthless.
Just don't know if Gong Dajiang ever thought of the idiom "outsmarting oneself," hoping Gong Tao, being a filial son, would definitely fulfill his wishes.
"I know my dad's health; it's impossible that Gong Qiang would anger him to the point of coughing up blood."
"It's true he's angry. After all, there was all kinds of fuss as soon as we got back, but these days wouldn't be enough for him to recover from that."
"If there really was an issue with the Gong Family, Cai Ming's friend would have notified us, and since we haven't heard Cai Ming mention it, it shows that the matter isn't as the Gong Family says."
Yeah, Gong Ruini was silly; she didn't even consider that even without the Cai Family, they still have informants in the hometown.
The Gong Family might actually be putting on an act, trying to deceive the Cai Family, or even collaborating with them; it's all uncertain.
