Second Master Yuan was just working at a chemical plant back then, but he knew about the Imperial Capital’s situation. It wasn’t just back then; even now, the status of the Gu Family in the Imperial Capital is not to be underestimated.
Hearing Gu Yecheng’s question, Second Master Yuan looked at Xiaofeng, and seeing her smile at him, it was as if she was seeing him for the first time.
In that moment, his heart suddenly became clear.
The Gu Family had cured Xiaofeng, and he naturally noted this favor.
Smiling gently at Gu Yecheng, "Young Master Gu, whatever you want to know, I will certainly tell you." He had been a witness to the incident back then, but he was unclear about how the explosion had started.
"Good, thank you. Please come with me to the study."
Xiaofeng helped Second Master Yuan take care of Xiaofeng, but now she was no longer foolish, smiling gently at Xiaofeng.
Though Xiaofeng had ordinary looks, whenever she smiled, Xiaofeng felt she was more beautiful than at any other time.
"How do you feel now?" Xiaofeng asked Xiaofeng.
Xiaofeng wanted to speak, but realizing her throat was not up to it, she resorted to gestures: "I feel very good now, my mind is very clear."
"I should thank you all. If not for you, I wouldn’t have recovered so quickly."
"This is due to your own reasons, you’ve opened the knot in your heart, naturally, the illness is healed. From now on, live well with your father, I believe your days will get better and better." As long as one’s mind is normal, even being mute, life would definitely be better than before.
"Yes, these years have been too hard on my father, I must take good care of him." Over the years, because of her illness, her father had faced much humiliation and hardship.
Gu Yecheng asked some questions, and Second Master Yuan revealed everything he knew. From the information shared by Second Master Yuan, Gu Yecheng caught onto a person he had never paid attention to before.
If he found this person, perhaps the case could be brought to light.
He had the driver take Second Master Yuan and his daughter home, as he now had urgent business and had to leave immediately.
Gu Yecheng went straight to the Xu Family.
"Tell your Family Head Men Chao that it’s been a long time since I’ve paid my respects to Old Xu, and I’ve come to visit him today."
"Young Master Gu, please wait a moment." The servant quickly went to report.
Men Chao came out with the servant shortly after, surprised to see Gu Yecheng at the door: "Young Master Gu, what wind has blown you here today?"
"Men Chao, I am here to see Old Xu on business. May I ask where he is now?"
"Grandfather is naturally cultivating his health at his residence, he specifically instructed us not to disturb his peace for anything but the most important matters."
"I think you have him under house arrest." Gu Yecheng was of course aware of the Xu Family’s affairs: "I only have one question, after that, I will leave."
The person Second Master Yuan mentioned had only been in contact with Old Xu.
Men Chao certainly wasn’t going to really stop Gu Yecheng; he was just curious why Gu Yecheng needed to see Old Xu.
Old Xu, seeing Gu Yecheng suddenly appear before him, was full of surprise.
Ever since Men Chao took over, he spent more than half of his time in his own yard. Men Chao didn’t skimp on his food and drink, but he cut off his contact with the outside world.
He remembered that Gu Yecheng had been injured in an explosion, but now he stood before him unscathed, which made him wonder if that explosion had been a sham.
"Old Xu, I am here today to ask you if you know someone named Wu Shouguang."
Old Xu shook his head: "I don’t know him, nor have I heard of him."
"Old Xu, I found out that this person used to work under you."
"Acheng, there have been thousands, if not hundreds, of servants in the Xu Family. If I had to remember each one, my memory would be too good. The person you are talking about, I really don’t know."
"Old Xu, do you truly not remember this person?" Such an answer was expected by Gu Yecheng.
"I really don’t remember, but if you want to know something, you can ask the Xu Family’s new Family Head to help you look it up. If he has worked for our Xu Family, there will certainly be a record." Old Xu shifted the responsibility to Men Chao: "Oh right, I remember now, I recall inviting someone named Wu for Men Chao’s master, Men Chao, your master is named Wu, isn’t he? What was his name again?"
"Grandfather, my master does not have the surname Wu."
"Why do I remember him having the surname Wu, right, your master is no longer with the Xu Family, he left many years ago."
"Yes, he now roams the world."
"Listen to that, living such a comfortable life, going wherever he wishes. Unlike me, I invited a wolf into my home, and now this wolf has confined me here, unable to go anywhere. My days are filled with only listening to operas and drinking tea."
