Gu Qiaoqiao turned her head to look at the four tall men beside her, all of whom were the most loyal bodyguards of the Gu Family.
Gu Qiaoqiao had just found out that these so-called bodyguards were not hired from outside; according to past customs, they were born into the family.
Simply put, they were the descendants of the Gu family’s old householders from decades ago.
And these so-called old householders were not any kind of servants.
They were brothers who had once shared joys and sorrows and faced life and death with Gu Qingfeng.
So naturally, their descendants, if suitable, all worked for the Gu family.
Except for a few years in between when there was a gap.
At all other times, this was the case.
They never left the Gu family.
Of course, there were also a mixture of good and bad elements here, and some had been bought over by Ning Wanru and Gu Cheng.
Those who withstood the test were all extremely loyal to the Gu family.
Moreover, it was said that the generous treatment provided by the Gu family couldn’t be matched by any other in the Imperial Capital.
The bodyguards of the Gu family received benefits that were not inferior to those of company managers outside.
Moreover, these bodyguards were also specially trained, and their skills were very good.
This had been fully verified on the second day of their arrival here.
This place was, after all, filled with all kinds of people, and without good skills, it was impossible to suppress those men.
Halfway to the jade mine, they were intercepted by some transient people nearby.
This time, the four bodyguards did not hesitate as they had before.
Because last time at the Diannan Jade Mine, had they made a move, even if the other party had suffered a slight injury, the incident would have become a big issue.
But this time it was different; this was a road robbery.
Then, without Gu Qiaoqiao needing to make a move, they defeated those people decisively.
Especially Second Brother Ren, who was good at cooking and even better at martial arts.
He easily handled five people by himself.
Gu Qiaoqiao shifted her gaze, smiled slightly, having four bodyguards by her side seemed even more imposing.
She picked out quite a few handicrafts, paid for them, and then continued to stroll around.
At noon, and they dined in the most distinctive restaurant here.
The dishes were all very characteristic of this place.
Just as they were about to leave after eating, Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly froze.
Her pupils constricted tightly, and her hands clenched together.
At a dining table right in front of Gu Qiaoqiao to the right, sat two people.
These two people were eating with their heads down.
There were two dishes on the table, a plate of pancakes, and a pot of wine.
Gu Qiaoqiao, who was initially standing, sat down again.
Then, she poured herself another glass of water.
The four bodyguards glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao, puzzled, not knowing what she was up to, and also sat down.
Afterward, Gu Qiaoqiao, holding the water glass, glanced indifferently in that direction.
Indeed, these two people were those who had impersonated the Public Security and thrown her father into the river.
They had actually escaped to this place.
This place was thousands of miles away from Stone Town; no wonder there had been no news from them.
Gu Qiaoqiao knew she wouldn’t mistake them.
Because one of the men had a distinctive feature, a black mole under the right corner of his mouth with a hair growing from it.
This was sketched by her father.
Although Gu Tianfeng was a language teacher, he also had the Gu family’s genetic gift for craft, and despite not formally studying painting, he still knew the basics.
He had sketched these two men in pencil and handed it over to Captain Zhou.
At that time, Gu Qiaoqiao had also seen the sketches.
