Let \(f\) be a meromorphic function on \(\mathbb C\) satisfying \[ \limsup_{r\to+\infty}\frac{T(r,f)}{(\log r)^3}=+\infty, \] where \(T(r,f)\) is Nevanlinna's characteristic function of \(f\). Set \(F=f^{(k)}+\sum_{j=1}^n\alpha_jf^j,\quad \alpha_j\in\mathbb C,\) with \(k>n\). Take an integer \(l\) and two complex numbers \(a,b\) satisfying \[ l>3(k+1)+2n(n+1),\quad \sum_{j=1}^n\alpha_ja^j\not=b. \] Y. X. Gu conjectured that there exists a real number \(\theta_0\) with \(0\leq \theta_0<2\pi\) such that for any \(\varepsilon>0\), \[ \limsup_{r\to+\infty}\frac{n(r,\theta_0,\varepsilon,f=a) +n_{l)}(r,\theta_0,\varepsilon,F=b)}{(\log r)^2}=+\infty, \] where \(n(r,\theta_0,\varepsilon,f=a)\) denotes the number of zeros of \(f-a=0\) (counting multiplicity) in the sector \[ \{z\: |z|\leq r\}\cap\{z\: |\arg(z)-\theta_0|\leq \varepsilon\}, \] and where \(n_{l)}(r,\theta_0,\varepsilon,F=b)\) denotes the number of zeros of multiplicity \(\leq l\) of \(F-b=0\) (counting multiplicity) in the above sector. In this paper the author confirms the conjecture.
