Chapter 952: Why Is It Always Such a Coincidence

Chu Family Study

Mr. Chu looked at his eldest son sitting in front of him: "How could it be possible not to find them?"

Chu Shunkang, the eldest of the Chu Family, was also puzzled: "But Runchen really can’t find them. It’s possible that going out to play is a cover, and hiding is the truth."

Mr. Chu’s expression darkened: "Is there any news from Beijing?"

Upon hearing the question, Chu Shunkang replied: "No, everything is normal over there. The Gu couple couldn’t have returned to the country, otherwise, we would have heard by now."

Mr. Chu then said, "Could it be that they have already returned, so Runchen can’t find them?"

Chu Shunkang thought for a moment and shook his head: "That possibility isn’t ruled out, but our people are closely watching. It’s impossible for them to return without making any noise."

Mr. Chu stood up and looked out the window: "But don’t you feel it’s too strange? No traces found in any of their usual places, they couldn’t just be out for leisure as claimed."

A hint of amusement crossed Chu Shunkang’s eyes: "Dad, you’re overthinking it. Their only daughter is currently in the country, and we’ve got news that Gu Wanqing is pregnant. It’s impossible for her to pick anyone up."

The old father stroked his chin: "Is there any news about that long-term follower by Old Master Gu’s side back then?"

Chu Shunkang shook his head: "No, I think that person probably changed their name and hid to save their own life."

Mr. Chu’s face was grave: "I thought we had hope this time. It seems the Gu Family has a strong sense of caution while in danger."

Chu Shunkang probed: "Do you mean this was intentionally arranged by the Gu Family?"

Mr. Chu squinted into the distance: "What do you think, why is it such a coincidence?"

Chu Shunkang fell into deep thought, and after a long pause, he said: "Dad, I actually think the priority should be to find that long-term follower who was with Old Master Gu when he had his accident.

After matters were settled for Old Master Gu, that person disappeared without a trace. He’s bound to know something, and fled to save his own life."

Mr. Chu nodded lightly: "You’re right."

Chu Shunkang reflected on all these years spent searching with no leads and couldn’t help but blurt out: "Dad, could it be that the person is already dead, otherwise how could there be no news at all?"

Mr. Chu frowned: "It’s possible, but until we have definitive news, we can’t relax."

Chu Shunkang nodded at his father: "I understand, I’ll keep watching our people closely."

After a thought occurred to him, he said: "Dad, if there’s still no news from Runken’s side, maybe we should capture Gu Wanqing. I can’t believe that sly Gu would disregard his daughter’s life."

Mr. Chu did not immediately agree: "Mr. Gu is a proud and unyielding person. I’m afraid that if we provoke him, he’d be willing to risk everything, and our years of effort would be in vain."

Chu Shunkang, considering the effort over the years, complained a bit: "The Miao Family and the Li Family have been shirking all along. Aren’t they just hoping we clash directly with the Gu Family to reap the benefits?"

Mr. Chu listened and let out a cold ’hmph’: "No matter what their intentions are, without putting in the effort, they can’t expect any gain."

Chu Shunkang expressed some concern: "I’m not worried about anything else, just that in the end, those two families might join forces against our Chu Family."

Hearing his eldest son’s words, Mr. Chu fell into deep thought.
