Offering peace to Mr. Ruan was actually a moment of inspiration for Gu Changsheng...
After all, the Lai Family was based in the Southern Ocean, and it was impossible for Gu Changsheng to be running there all the time. The Lai Family dealt mostly in grey industries, and if he couldn't invest the energy and time to manage them meticulously, chaos would likely ensue...
Moreover, Gu Changsheng did not want to show his face, his identity was special!
So, finding a proxy to stand in the limelight was the best solution...
As for why he chose Ruan Rui'an, there was no need to explain.
Even after a falling out with the Lai Family, he stood by Gu Changsheng's side. Whether out of compulsion or not, Gu Changsheng had a good impression of him, as he was a self-made man with a bit of scholarly elegance.
As for saying...
