After coming in, she knelt down to Gu Qingfeng, hoping he would show mercy and release her son.
Although the antique shop survived the crisis the first time, without Ning Wanru, it was impossible to recover this time.
Gu Qingfeng, who was over eighty, has faced countless storms in his lifetime.
Moreover, because he committed a fatal mistake that led to the destruction of his family, his methods of revenge are even more ruthless, leaving no room for leeway.
Each move is deadly.
So under his machinations, Tian Sanxianās sonās antique shop went completely bankrupt.
Not only bankrupt but also fell into debt.
Furthermore, due to fraud charges, Tian Sanxianās eldest son was sent to the detention center.
This time, even money couldnāt save her son.
When Tian Sanxian learned that Ning Wanru had died, she finally fully realized.
She thought Elder Gu wouldnāt find her weaknesses and would let her go.
Yet she didnāt expect Elder Gu was waiting for her here.
After weighing the matter over a few days, Tian Sanxian visited her.
It so happened that Qin Yize and Gu Qiaoqiao were both at home.
Gu Qingfeng didnāt hide it from them.
When Tian Sanxian came to visit, he had Uncle Guās son, Gu Xing, go upstairs to the sculpture room and call Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize down.
To some extent, these two represent the future of the Qin Family and the Gu Family; they must be aware of certain things.
Accompanying Tian Ling was stopped at the door.
In the small study, under the piercing gaze of Gu Qingfeng, Tian Sanxian finally recounted all the events she knew.
At last, she pleaded in a low voice, "Old Patriarch, Iāve hidden nothing; it was my foolishness that led me to commit such an unscrupulous act, and Iāve already faced heavenly retribution. I just hope youāll show mercy and spare my son!"
Gu Qingfeng ground his teeth fiercely.
Though he had roughly guessed the sequence of events, when a knowledgeable person told him the whole story, Gu Qingfengās heart still ignited in furious rage.
Ning Wanru, Lin Fanpeng.
Those two vile beings!
Turns out, they had their sights on the Gu Familyās possessions decades ago, yet due to various reasons, hadnāt succeeded.
Gu Qingfeng glared fiercely at Tian Sanxian, gripping his cane tightly, calming his emotions before asking deeply, "Do you know where Lin Fanpeng is?"
Tian Sanxian hurriedly shook her head, "Old Patriarch, I truly donāt know. We havenāt contacted each other for a long time, and every time we did was through Ning Wanru. After Ning Wanru had her incident, thereās been no news about Elder Lin, but I once heard Ning Wanru say he was living in East Mountain..."
"Heās already left there now." Sitting to the side, Gu Qiaoqiao, her face grim, suddenly asked, "What was that thing you buried in the small park pond for?"
Tian Sanxian was suddenly taken aback, staring at Gu Qiaoqiao.
She knew there were things she couldnāt hide from this girl.
And she hadnāt expected the one who destroyed her formation turned out to be the granddaughter of Elder Gu.
She didnāt know what ability she had, but she knew her formation had been destroyed.
And the stone brought back was useless.
"Young Master, the thing buried in the park pond was the Spirit Absorbing Array because the spiritual energy there is most abundant," Tian Sanxian explained in a low voice.
"How long has that formation been there?"
