Chapter 758: Chapter 762: It’s too miserable
Gu Junzhu: “Go lower.”
“Oh,” Ye Xingbei obediently blew lower.
Gu Junzhu suppressed a laugh: “Even lower.”
Ye Xingbei blew even lower… However, she suddenly came to her senses and slapped him on the chest: “Pervert!”
Fifth Lord of Gu whistled, “The 24 bridges under the bright moonlight, where is the fair maiden who taught me to play flute? Playing… the flute.”
“…” Ye Xingbei gave him another slap, “We’re discussing something serious here. Be serious, or else you’ll be disrespectful to the deceased. Be careful Ah Yao’s grandfather comes back to find you!”
Gu Junzhu patted her head, “Silly girl, if Ah Yao’s grandfather comes back to find me, it would be to thank me. If I didn’t ask someone to investigate these things, his name would have been tarnished, he would have lived a life in vain, and no one would ever know how he died.”
Ye Xingbei failed to scare Gu Junzhu, but she ended up scaring herself.
She moved closer into Gu Junzhu’s arms and petted her own arm, complainingly, “Stop saying nonsense and talk about the real things!”
“Okay, I’ll continue,” said Gu Junzhu, holding her close. “There are no ghosts in this world. Even if there are, they would just come to find me. Don’t be scared, darling.”
Ye Xingbei, annoyed, elbowed him, “You just had to say that!”
Gu Junzhu suppressed his laughter, “Alright, alright, let’s discuss the matter at hand. Where did we leave off? … Oh, I remember. Wan Wan said Ah Yao’s grandfather was killed by Senior Master Fang. When he was young, he fancied Ah Yao’s grandmother. Once when he was drunk, he forced himself on her…”
Ye Xingbei widened her eyes in shock and let out an exclamation.
Gu Junzhu patted her head to soothe her, “Conveniently, Ah Yao’s grandfather walked in and saw an intoxicated Fang Haichuan assaulting Ah Yao’s grandmother. An altercation ensued between him and Fang Haichuan, resulting in Fang Haichuan accidentally pushing Ah Yao’s grandfather out the window, causing his death.”
Ye Xingbei asked anxiously, her palms sweating, “Then what happened after that? Why didn’t Ah Yao’s grandmother call the police?”
Gu Junzhu held her hand and gently massaged it, “Ah Yao’s grandmother, Wan Wan’s older sister, was called Wan Xin. She was only in her twenties at the time, very young and had just given birth to Siqi not long ago. Wan Wan stated that Fang Haichuan had his right-hand man kidnap Siqi and he threatened Wan Xin to not report to the police.”
Ye Xingbei asked nervously, “And then what?”
Gu Junzhu proceeded, “Subsequently, after Wan Xin’s husband died and she found herself unable to see her daughter, she fell into depression and committed suicide by jumping off a building.”
Uncontrollably, Ye Xingbei let out a gasp, murmuring, “This… this is too terrible, and here I thought Senior Master Fang was a good person. Turns out, he’s just like Jiang Lin, a major villain!”
“Right,” Gu Junzhu nodded and continued, “After Wan Xin’s death, Wan Wan came to handle her sister’s funeral. She discovered her sister’s suicide note and a video depicting the true sequence of events. She wanted to report it to the police, but she was knocked out by Fang Haichuan’s men and locked up in a mental institution for decades.”
Ye Xingbei clenched her fists in anger, “Fang Haichuan is ruthless! After his death, Ah Yao was so sad, shedding so many tears for him, and it turns out he’s a beast in human clothing!”
“Yes,” Gu Junzhu continued, “Xiao Seventh said Wan Wan’s physical condition is currently very poor due to aging and she might not have much time left. She kept herself alive solely to clear her sister and brother-in-law’s names and seek revenge. I ordered Xiao Seventh to retrieve Wan Wan from the mental institution and arranged for her to be put in a safe place.”
