Chapter 1226: Uncle and Niece Reunited

When those few saw Xinyan and He Jinxuan approaching, they turned around, attempting to kidnap Gu Yize.

However, Gu Yize also had some skills and would not let them succeed easily.

Xinyan struck hard, not wanting to waste time with them. Her grandfather was probably getting anxious by now.

Moreover, she was eager to confirm the identity of this uncle she’d never met.

These few might be the best fighters among them, and with no way out, they were quite ruthless, every move a killing blow. Had Xinyan not been constantly watching Gu Yize’s side and lending a hand several times, he might have been injured by now.

Seeing these few being outmatched, the man in front of Gu Yize launched a desperate attack, nearly stabbing his arm. When Xinyan intervened, another person slashed at her with a knife.

There was no time to dodge. At this critical moment, He Jinxuan kicked away the person he was fighting and shielded Xinyan with his body. The knife struck directly on He Jinxuan’s right shoulder, instantly staining his clothes with blood.

Xinyan’s eyes turned red with urgency and she fiercely delivered a series of kicks to that person until they could no longer stand from the pain.

Once they had subdued those people, Xinyan unceremoniously told Gu Yize, "Find something to tie them all up. I’ll treat his wound first."

After saying that, she helped He Jinxuan behind a pillar, with red-rimmed eyes she said, "Bear with it, I’ll stop the bleeding right away."

Peeking to see Gu Yize wasn’t looking their way, she quickly took out one of her homemade pills from space and popped it into He Jinxuan’s mouth: "It dissolves instantly, don’t worry."

Looking at the still bleeding wound, her heart ached intensely.

She swiftly tore a large opening in the clothing over the injured area, first simply stopping the bleeding before asking, "How did you know I was here?"

He Jinxuan reached out to wipe away the tears from her eyes, "Didn’t we say you’d be staying around here before you left? I happened to be nearby for work, so I asked around.

Lucky enough, I ran into Grandpa going out to get hot water and learned you went out to buy breakfast.

I wanted to surprise you by meeting you on your way back, but when I saw you, you were chasing someone. I didn’t dare yell, so I followed you."

He reached out to hold Xinyan’s hand, "You shouldn’t be reckless again. Luckily I was here today. If you got hurt, I couldn’t bear it."

Xinyan was about to say something, but Gu Yize called out to them, "Thank you for your help today."

Xinyan stood up and walked out from behind the pillar, "Are you Gu Yize?"

Gu Yize nodded, "Yes."

"You’re from Beijing, and your father is Gu Yiwen, right?"

Gu Yize was puzzled, "Who are you? How do you know these things?"

Xinyan stared straight at him, "Who else is in your family?"

Gu Yize found Xinyan somewhat familiar, "Who are you?"

Xinyan was firm as she asked, "Who else is in your family?"

Gu Yize didn’t know what got into him, but he felt a sense of kinship with the girl, so he let his guard down, "My mother is Tao Shuqing, and I have a sister named Gu Wanqing."

Xinyan could no longer control her emotions, tears filling her eyes, "Uncle, I’m Han Xinyan, your sister Gu Wanqing’s daughter, your niece. I’ve finally found you."

Gu Yize was stunned by the sudden news, "Who did you say you were?"

Xinyan stepped forward, "I’m your niece, your sister Gu Wanqing’s daughter. Uncle, after Grandfather and Grandmother returned to the country, they’ve been looking for you."

Gu Yize looked into Xinyan’s eyes, "You really are my niece; I’ve finally found family."

He reached out and hugged Xinyan tightly, "Are Grandfather and Grandmother well these years?"

Just then, He Jinxuan walked over, "Yanyan, Uncle, let’s talk later; first, we need to decide how to deal with these people. I’m worried someone else might come."

Gu Yize released Xinyan, "Who is he?"

Xinyan wiped the tears off her face, "Uncle, he’s my husband, your nephew-in-law He Jinxuan."

He Jinxuan nodded to Gu Yize, "Uncle."

Gu Yize never thought that right after recognizing his niece, he would gain a nephew-in-law too. But given that he risked himself in a critical moment to protect his niece, he accepted him, "Hello."

Xinyan looked at those tied and unconscious in the courtyard, "For now, we can’t make this public yet. Let’s call my dad and have him send people to handle it. At least we need to know who is behind them from their mouths."

Judging by today’s situation, it’s clearly not simple.

She originally thought that with the fall of the Xue Family, the Gu family’s matters were over, didn’t expect there to be another force spying on them. Her uncle’s disappearance over the years must be related to these people. It’s crucial to find out the person behind it and eliminate them quickly, otherwise, the Gu Family may never have peace.
