Chapter 192: Chapter 192 Qin Yizeâs Conjecture Chapter 192: Chapter 192 Qin Yizeâs Conjecture But he was not able to move easily, so he couldnât go directly to the Qin Family, he could only go to look for Old Man Qin.
Tomorrow, maybe he would see Gu Qiaoqiao.
Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize had played until late before they went home.
They quietly entered the yard, then quietly went into their room.
Then they closed the door.
They exchanged a glance, took a look at the bathroom, and Qin Yize went into the room to get a set of pajamas before heading to the living room bathroom.
While Gu Qiaoqiao went to the small bathroom.
They had a crazy day.
But it was also very happy and satisfying.
It turned out that revenge was such a thrilling thing.
After Gu Qiaoqiao had showered and came out, she saw that Qin Yize had already bathed, with his hair still half wet, writing something in the study.
Gu Qiaoqiao stood at the doorway and said softly, âThank you for today.â
âUh-huh.â Qin Yize responded indifferently, his eyebrows furrowed, looking very serious.
Gu Qiaoqiao didnât disturb him.
She quietly went into the bedroom.
But Qin Yize, with his eyebrows still tightly knit, read through the registered letter he had received that afternoon from start to finish again.
It was the follow-up from the investigation he had entrusted someone to conduct concerning Sun Chuxia.
Before she left the Imperial Capital, she had actually met with the Second Lady of Yubao Square.
These two people had no reason to meet.
But they had indeed met.
It was Gu Cheng who had taken her.
Holding the letter, Qin Yize began to ponder.
After a while, Qin Yize picked up a pen and started to write down everything he knew.
Old Patriarch Gu, who owned the Mysterious Dragon Box, Grandma Yu, who wore a photo of Grandpa Gu from his youth, the two fake officers who wanted to stage Gu Tianfengâs suicide.
The Second Lady connected to Sun Chuxia and her son from the Old Patriarch Guâs family.
The Old Patriarch who owned the Red Spirit Jade Marrow that could open the Mysterious Dragon Box.
The Second Lady?
What about his main wife?
Alive or dead?
In the Gu Family, it was a secret, and everyone was tight-lipped about it.
Even Old Grand Master Qin wasnât clear about the matter of Elder Gu Qingfengâs main wife, and within Elder Gu Qingfengâs family, apart from a few close confidants, almost no one knew.
The secrecy was well-maintained.
And Gu Cheng was Ning Wanruâs son, there was no doubt about that.
So, did Elder Gu Qingfeng and the main wife have children?
If they did, where was this child?
The fact that this child had not been mentioned by anyone to date might be related to Ning Wanru and Gu Cheng.
If the child wasnât from the same father, itâd naturally be preferred that they be eternally forgotten.
Therefore, all people knew was that the Old Patriarch had a son, and that was Gu Cheng.
If Elder Gu Qingfeng and the main wife had a son at a normal age and he was born naturally, the child would be about the same age as Grandpa Gu by now.
Qin Yize suddenly stood up, a dreadful speculation formed in his mind.
Perhaps, Grandpa Gu was the biological son of Old Patriarch Gu!
Then, there would be a reason that could explain Gu Tianfengâs demise.
Qin Yize walked towards Gu Qiaoqiaoâs bedroom but stopped halfway.
He turned around, left the room, and went to the main study.
By this time, everyone in the Qin Family had gone to sleep.
Qin Yize quietly closed the door of the study, picked up the phone, and dialed a confidential number.
After being transferred through two service desks, the call was connected.
A manâs voice of surprise came through, âItâs so late, what do you need me for?â
âDo you have information on the Old Patriarch of Yubao Square?â
âYubao Square, Elder Gu Qingfeng?â
âYes, I do.â
âTell me about his situation.â
âOkay.â
ââŠâ
Several minutes later, Qin Yize solemnly hung up the phone.
He gently rubbed his forehead.
Qin Yize hadnât expected that his son would actually be found.
Named Gu Kun, he not only had the First Ladyâs jade pendant but also a paternity test result from an authoritative foreign institution.
He was indeed Gu Qingfengâs son.
It was just that Gu Qingfeng had become critically ill and fallen into a vegetative state shortly after being recognized, only recently regaining consciousness.
Thatâs why the news had not been announced publicly.
Moreover, it seemed that the old manâs health was probably even worse than Gu Qingfengâs, so the news was kept secret.
Apart from the Gu family, no one else really knew.
And Gu Cheng couldnât have wished for a better outcome.
Thus, without intending to keep it secret, the secrecy was remarkably well maintained.
It truly was a long story.
Qin Yizeâs gaze was inscrutable.
According to the available information, there was no relation between Grandpa Gu and the Old Patriarch Gu.
But was Sun Chuxiaâs visit to the North Mountain Villa really just a casual visit?
Hence, the last link lay in Grandma Yuâs photograph.
Was the other man in the group photo Gu Qingfeng?
Gu Qiaoqiao had seen the photo, and now the task was to find a photo of Gu Qingfeng from his younger days before proceeding any further.
Qin Yize returned to his room, approached Gu Qiaoqiaoâs bedroom door, and softly knocked.
Soon after, Gu Qiaoqiao, wearing a white nightgown, half-opened the door from inside.
The little girl was quite impressive today.
Naturally somewhat excited.
Therefore, she certainly wouldnât be sleeping.
Sure enough, her eyes were bright and sparkling.
But now that he knew, he would tell her about it first thing.
After listening to Qin Yizeâs calm narration, Gu Qiaoqiao was initially a bit slow to respond.
She sat on the bed, her mind momentarily stagnant, and then gradually returned to normal.
The Old Patriarch Gu had a son who had been lost, but now the son had been found.
It was just that it hadnât been publicly declared.
Gu Qiaoqiao thought of her grandfather, who indeed did not seem to have the demeanor of a wealthy family in the Imperial Capital.
He was just a country old man who liked to carry a hoe and work the fields.
His hobby was carving.
Yet, that Gu Kunâs son, he was a famous carver in Diannan.
Then why had Sun Chuxia been in contact with the Second Lady of the Old Patriarch Gu?
After the contact, she went to Stone Town, and then framed her father, almost causing him to die in the icy river water.
Were these things related?
And what about the photo?
Gu Qiaoqiao murmured, âWhat if the man in that photo is Gu Qingfeng?â
âIf so, there are two possibilities. The first is that the young man in Grandma Yuâs photo merely looks similar to Grandpa Gu.â
After all, similar-looking strangers do exist.
Gu Qiaoqiao asked urgently, âAnd the second?â
âThe second is that Gu Kun is an impostor,â Qin Yize said in a grave voice.
âWhat do we do now?â Gu Qiaoqiao asked drily.
âTomorrow morning weâll go to the Great Grandfatherâs house. He said there should be a photo of him with Gu Qingfeng, but he doesnât know where it was placed. Weâll look for it together.â
It was the best approach.
It was already the early morning hours.
After telling Gu Qiaoqiao a few words, Qin Yize left.
Gu Qiaoqiao felt somewhat surreal.
Lying in bed, she pondered for a long time but couldnât come to any conclusions.
Could she and the Yubao Square be related?
Was it possible?
Remembering her experiences in her past life, Gu Qiaoqiaoâs face turned cold and somber.
Maybe she would know everything by tomorrow.
She tossed and turned until dawn.
After a hasty breakfast, Qin Yize drove Gu Qiaoqiao towards the Qin Familyâs Courtyard where Old Man Qin lived.
