“Dandan…” Old Man Ge saw his grandson and immediately became excited.

He approached, wanting to embrace his grandson, “Dandan, wake up, I’m your grandpa…”

“Uncle, Dandan has fainted, and it will take a while for him to come to,” Gu Qingheng hurriedly consoled, “Where is your home?

Let’s go back first…

You’ve also been injured, so let me carry him…”

“Alright, alright,” Old Man Ge said, hastily releasing his grip, “It’s just ahead, past this woods we’ll reach Ge Family Estate, it’s not far…”

Gu Qingheng followed the old man into the village.

Old Man Ge’s house was at the entrance of the village; seeing the village meant he was home.

Gu Qingheng placed Dandan on the kang bed and checked his pulse again.

Indeed, there was no serious harm, which gave him peace of mind.

“Young master, thank you,” Old Man Ge, seeing his grandson breathing steadily, was truly grateful, “If we hadn’t run into you…

I fear Dandan might have…” He dared not think about it; if he had lost his grandson, he certainly wouldn’t have been able to go on living.

“To come across one another is fate,” Gu Qingheng smiled, “Is it common here to snatch children in broad daylight?”

“How could it not be?” Old Man Ge sighed, “Such a child can be sold for quite a sum of silver.

Those damned rascals, they won’t have a good end…”

Gu Qingheng’s expression darkened as he immediately connected this incident to the group that Weng Xin had mentioned.

No wonder Weng Xin had said that the group was considerably large.

It seemed he truly couldn’t afford to be careless,

“Ermao next door was playing at the village entrance when an old woman took him away…” Old Man Ge sighed again, “I heard that such a child can sell for twenty to thirty taels of silver…”

Gu Qingheng frowned, “Doesn’t the Governor’s Office do anything?”

“Many such incidents have occurred in the surrounding villages, and they have been reported.

But it seems the Governor’s Office is also at a loss…

and to this day, the cases aren’t solved…”

At that moment, Dandan coughed twice and woke up.

“Dandan…” Old Man Ge, thrilled, lunged forward and embraced his grandson, “Where do you feel unwell?”

“Grandpa, I’m fine…” Ge Dan wrapped his arms around Old Man Ge, “Don’t be sad…

Dandan won’t leave grandpa…”

“Good child…”

“It was this young master who saved you, Dandan, kowtow to the godfather…” After confirming his grandson was alright, Old Man Ge quickly turned and knelt down towards Gu Qingheng.

Ge Dan also got up on the kang bed and knelt down, bowing his head towards Gu Qingheng, “Thank you, young master.”

“Please, get up,” Gu Qingheng gestured with his hand, then turned to Old Man Ge, “But uncle, I can save you once, but I can’t save you every time.

Do you have any plans?”

“I…” Old Man Ge was indeed at a loss.

“You can reconsider the proposal I made earlier,” said Gu Qingheng with a smile, “Of course, I can’t wait forever for you to decide.

Once my brother returns, I’ll have to go back.

If you make up your mind, you can also find me in Dapu East Village, Baihua County.

I can’t promise other things, but keeping you safe, I can do that.

My surname is Gu, and my wife’s surname is Yang…”

Old Man Ge was very conflicted.

Just then, Gu Yao’s secret signal was heard from outside.

“Uncle, I must take my leave,” Gu Qingheng placed a bar of silver on the table, then turned and left the room.

Gu Yao was already waiting outside.

Gu Qingheng mounted Zhui Feng, but before he could ride off, Old Man Ge chased after him, “Young master, I’ll go with you…”
