Chapter 564: Chapter 564 Retribution for Evil
But the person behind her couldn’t be caught.
And were they really only after the Gu Family’s fortune?
Maybe it wasn’t that simple.
Gu Qiaoqiao had discussed with Gu Qingfeng and they could only temporarily let Ning Wanru and Gu Cheng be.
Without catching the person behind them, they would still not be at peace.
As for Steward Wu, having committed misdeeds alongside Ning Wanru for decades, he naturally had a wealth of experience, which is why he managed to shake off the Old Patriarch’s people time and again.
However, they did learn one clue, that the person behind the scenes lived in the suburbs of the Capital.
Unfortunately, there were simply too many people living in the suburbs of the Capital, not to mention several sanatoriums there.
Therefore, it was impossible to determine exactly who it was.
After receiving this news, Gu Qiaoqiao, who was carving the Red Spirit Jade Marrow, gave Gu Qingfeng a slight smile, “Great Grandfather, we will face even more severe challenges in the future.”
Gu Qingfeng nodded his head.
He also had his suspicions.
After a while, he spoke softly, “Qiaoqiao, do you regret returning to the Gu Family?”
Gu Qiaoqiao was stunned and put down her carving knife, “No regrets, Great Grandfather, even if I hadn’t returned to the Gu Family, my family would still not be at peace, and I think you know that better than I do.”
Gu Qingfeng’s expression darkened, and he said with guilt, “Qiaoqiao, it’s all Great Grandfather’s fault, my misjudgment led to the situation today.”
Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Gu Qingfeng, pondered for a moment, and said earnestly, “Great Grandfather, saying you were not at fault is unrealistic and self-deceptive. If it weren’t for your bringing a wolf into the house and being stubborn, Grandpa wouldn’t have died abroad, and Great Grandma wouldn’t have lived a life of displacement. However, what’s done is done, and all we can do is to live well, to live with love and harmony, and not do things that would please our enemies and sadden our loved ones.”
Gu Qingfeng’s heart was filled with sorrow. He clenched the cane in his hand and said in a hoarse voice, “Qiaoqiao, you are a good child.”
“So, Great Grandfather, don’t be discouraged now; the most important thing is to open Great Grandma’s heart,” she said.
Even with Spiritual Energy enhancement, it wasn’t an Immortal Pill that could grant eternal life.
Therefore, Gu Qiaoqiao still hoped that Great Grandfather and Great Grandma could have a comfortable life in their remaining years.
She believed that this must also be Grandpa’s wish.
In the evening, Qin Yize returned.
His features bore the frost of autumn nights, but upon seeing Gu Qiaoqiao, his eyes filled with tenderness and a smile.
After dinner, he left Gu Garden with Gu Qiaoqiao.
Qin Yize drove the car, with Gu Qiaoqiao in tow, toward the Qin Family’s residence.
They didn’t speak on the way.
However, the atmosphere in the car was warm and harmonious.
It felt like a profound affection between two people reuniting after a long separation.
They hadn’t seen each other for over a week.
During this week, the base where Qin Yize was stationed was conducting a very important experiment.
So, he simply couldn’t come back.
Now that it had finally ended, he drove back as soon as he could.
Before this, he received a phone call from a friend, and knew that Gu Qianqian had almost had an accident, but fortunately it turned out to be a close call in the end.
The investigation he was conducting had now found some direction.
Only one last step remained, and it would bring certain people to justice.
When they arrived at the Qin Family Courtyard, the two got out of the car.
At that time, the whole family was in the living room watching television.
In the meantime, Gu Qiaoqiao had come back twice and had relayed the incident with Gu Qianqian to them.
After all, the incident had caused quite a stir.
It had almost become common knowledge throughout the circles of the Capital City.
