There were always a few men dressed in black by his side.
He followed them several times but failed to find where the man lived.
Nor could he find out who this person was.
This situation could only point to one thing: the man’s identity was a mystery and his movements were erratic.
Later on, disturbances began to stir once again in the Old Imperial Capital.
After fruitless investigations, he moved his family to the Imperial Capital.
It was only a year later that he learned of the Gu Family’s madam, who had left home with her son.
Although he was not sure if the news was true, he knew then that the person who could help him was no longer in the Imperial Capital.
At that time, he had no chance whatsoever to meet Gu Qingfeng.
He was entirely unaware that the person whom the man had thrown into Mass Burial Mound was Gu Qingfeng’s wife.
At this moment, the sword that had been hanging over his head for fifty years was finally laid to rest.
Gu Qingfeng had long suspected that Ning Wanru was behind it all, but even after obtaining conclusive evidence,
he was still so filled with guilt that he wished he could kill himself.
His face turned red, his hands trembling.
He felt deep remorse for his stupidity and stubborn arrogance.
In that moment, he wished he could die on the spot to apologize to Lady Yu.
But Lady Yu’s revenge had not been exacted, and so he could not die.
Gu Qingfeng concealed all his emotions and expressed his sincere gratitude to the descendants of Steward Chang.
The subsequent matters would naturally be arranged by Uncle Gu.
By this time, it was already very late.
Uncle Gu drove the two people home, then brought out a large envelope containing one hundred thousand yuan.
This amount of money was definitely a fortune in those days.
However, to his surprise, it was refused by the descendant of Steward Chang.
It was his father’s dying wish, and he did not want to exchange it for money.
Although his family was now impoverished, they were nonetheless happy and loving.
Therefore, he did not wish to accept such money.
At this time, Uncle Gu felt genuine admiration for the descendant of Steward Chang, who had remained faithful to their promise for decades.
So, Uncle Gu took the envelope back.
He then earnestly invited the grandson of Steward Chang to work with him.
The grandson of Steward Chang was not yet forty years old.
One could tell from his eyes that he was surely an upright and kind person.
The descendant of Steward Chang gladly accepted the invitation,
After all, working at Yubao Square was a fantastic opportunity for him.
Plus, declining further would seem ungrateful.
After settling this matter, Uncle Gu drove back to Gu Garden.
At this time, the atmosphere in the small living room was very gloomy.
Lady Yu looked at Gu Qingfeng with a sullen expression.
The Gu Family was even quieter at this time.
Only the two elderly people, Gu Qingfeng and Lady Yu, were sitting there.
An old incident from fifty years ago was like a huge mountain weighing on their hearts.
For Lady Yu and Gu Qingfeng, it was a matter that had to be settled, no matter what.
Otherwise, they truly would not be able to die in peace.
Furthermore, the vile deeds committed by Ning Wanru, as venomous as a viper, had long passed the statute of limitations under current law.
Reporting to the Public Security now would be futile.
Fifty years had already gone by.
Even if Gu Qingfeng and Qin Yize had the capability, they could not merely issue a death sentence to Ning Wanru based on a letter.
But how could they simply swallow this type of affront!
