He then handed it over to his son.
Gu Kun still hadn’t opened it, and now it had passed on to Gu Qiaoqiao.
Dongfang Yu’s eyes darkened.
If Gu Qiaoqiao might be the second legendary figure of the Gu Family after five hundred years, then perhaps the Mysterious Dragon Box could only be opened by Gu Qiaoqiao.
Therefore, even if he snatched the Mysterious Dragon Box now, it would be of no use.
In another ten years, his second life-or-death trial would arrive.
Last time, his father had mobilized the entire clan’s resources and had even acquired a rare treasure between heaven and earth, allowing him to escape the life-or-death trial and successfully enter his second reincarnation.
And for him, his father had almost paid with his life.
So, he thought he should live well, live until he could no longer continue.
It would be the least he could do to honor his father’s painstaking efforts.
Glancing once more at the brilliantly lit living room, Dongfang Yu extended his hand, and the White Cat leapt onto it, then, cradling the White Cat, he left the Qin Family Old Residence without a sound.
And this night was destined to be anything but quiet.
Uncle Gu finally received information from Steward Chang of Young Master Chang.
Regrettably, that steward had long been dead.
However, a letter was found among his belongings, which his family had always kept.
It was meant to be personally delivered to someone named Lady Yu.
Lady Yu was Gu Qingfeng’s official wife.
Her descendants naturally also made inquiries.
But Gu Qingfeng’s official wife had been missing for decades and had never been found, so the letter had been in her son’s possession for twenty years.
It was also a coincidence.
The backstory was this.
The steward’s descendant worked in a struggling factory.
Unable to pay wages, they reluctantly opted for unpaid leave.
But, failing to find a suitable deal, he went to work at the Lijing Ho Hotel instead.
The Lijing Ho Hotel offered generous welfare, providing both food and accommodation, and even the clothes were issued by the hotel.
For the steward’s descendant who had no immediate prospects, this was an excellent opportunity.
So, he started working there.
It was there that he accidentally heard about the Recognition Banquet and learned that Gu Qingfeng’s official wife had been found.
He didn’t know the full story and merely recounted it as a tale to his father after finishing his shift and returning home.
To his surprise, his father’s face drained of color.
Immediately, he sent his son to take him to Yubao Square.
When they arrived at Yubao Square, it was already past nine o’clock in the evening, and Yubao Square had long been closed.
The old man turned away, disappointed.
But he didn’t expect to bump into Uncle Gu at the entrance.
Uncle Gu was returning late today, and after checking around before leaving, he spotted an old man and a young person loitering at the entrance as he was about to go home.
The old man appeared to be about his age.
He looked older than Uncle Gu and seemed to be in poor health.
Moreover, he was visibly anxious.
Uncle Gu naturally approached to inquire, and Steward Chang’s descendant was initially wary.
Upon learning that this person was Uncle Gu, he relaxed.
He also knew about some matters concerning Yubao Square; even though they were not on the same social level, he had often heard the stories discussed in the streets and alleys.
By the Old Patriarch’s side was a man known as Uncle Gu, a loyal subordinate akin to a brother, who had accompanied the Old Patriarch for several decades.
Thus, the old man decided to take a gamble.
He revealed his true identity to Uncle Gu.
Uncle Gu, of course, knew of the affairs concerning Steward Chang back in the day.
