Gu Jingze remained silent as he looked down and poured some tea.
Gu Qigang asked, “You did not do it… Or were you not able to? Sigh, it’s been many years actually. I know it’s not easy, but I still hope you could do your best to help me with this.”
Gu Jingze continued remaining silent.
Gu Qigang sighed, “Few people know about this. My guess is that it probably has to do with those who knew about it at that time. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have vanished like this. Even if a stranger picked up this child, there would be a trace left behind. Now, there is no trace at all. He must have been wiped out. I…”
“Enough, Father.” The vein beside Gu Jingze’s ear twitched. He was trying so hard to control his emotions, but he could not take it any longer.
He turned to Gu Qigang. “Father, if you could place this concern on Mother, I’ll probably be happier and be more willing to help you out. However… I’m really disappointed.”
Gu Qigang froze.
Gu Jingze scoffed. He took out a photo and papers from his pocket and tossed them aside. “The information you want is here. I didn’t dig it out. Instead, this person has already been beside us for a long time. It’s just that you never realized. Because of the horrible things you did, you sent a young man into hysteria and he went around taking revenge. It’s because of what you did that innocent Lin Che and your children are paying the price of your deeds now. Because of you, we’re all on his revenge list. Are you satisfied now? You’ve found him, but it’s a pity that he’s finding you for revenge, and not to acknowledge you… as his father!”
“…” Gu Qigang’s face fell.
Gu Jingze’s expression was already stiff as he walked towards him.
Gu Qigang was frozen. Then, he looked down at the papers.
The photo, the papers… The person was…
Mo Jingyan…
He looked at the photo and his mind was immediately filled with the image of that tall man he met once…
It was him…

When Gu Jingze came back, he did not look so good. Lin Che noticed this and whispered to Yu Minmin, “I’m going to go check on him.”
Then, Lin Che quickly caught up with Gu Jingze who was walking away.
“Gu Jingze, are you okay?”
“I need some time alone.” Gu Jingze’s voice was cold as he looked straight ahead.
Lin Che was taken aback as she paused briefly, but she continued walking with him. “Gu Jingze, talk to me.”
Gu Jingze replied, “Alright, go take a rest…”
“No, tell me what’s going on.”
Gu Jingze ignored her and continued walking.
Having long legs had its benefits. He quickened his pace so that she would have to jog a little to catch up with him.
In her moment of fluster, she accidentally tripped and fell.
“Ouch…” Lin Che yelped. Her knee hurt.
Gu Jingze froze. He turned around and saw that Lin Che was on the ground. His mind became a mess and he hurried back to her.
He hoisted Lin Che up and inspected her. “What happened? Let me see.”
“My knee…” Lin Che frowned as she felt pain in her knee.
Gu Jingze quickly made her sit down and carefully rolled up her pants.
There was a gash on her knee. Blood trickled down and it looked like some dirt got into the wound.
“It’s a little dirty. Don’t move.” Gu Jingze frowned and hastily grabbed her knee. He gently sucked on the wound…
“Hey, you…” Lin Che was extremely surprised. She looked around her wildly.
It hurt so much that she forgot.
He sucked up the blood and spit it out at the side. Then, he repeated it.
Lin Che was so shocked yet moved at the same time. She looked at him and said endearingly, “Gu Jingze, why are you so good to me…”
Gu Jingze froze. Because this situation had to happen to this idiot at such timing, it took him by surprise.
He looked at her mockingly. “Because you’re so stupid. If I don’t treat you well, you might kill yourself one day.”
He had one knee on the ground. Because of this, she did not feel angry at all. Instead, she tilted her head and smiled adoringly.
She really felt as if she could not live without him now.
She was so pampered by him that she felt as if she would be incapacitated without him.
What was more important was that she believed that there was no other man on Earth that could treat her as well as Gu Jingze did.
She thought that people said she did not deserve Gu Jingze because of her background.
She felt that she did not deserve Gu Jingze probably because he was such a good man and she was such a wilful wife. She had not done half the things he had.
She really did not know why she was the apple of his eye. She had nothing. How could she be the recipient of his love?
It was all the more why she wanted to treat him well. She wanted to give him everything.
She placed her hands on his shoulders and looked at him. “Gu Jingze, so you must tell me what happened. Let me be of some use as your wife, okay?”
Gu Jingze gazed at deeply. His eyes looked directly into hers.
He thought that no man could probably reject those eyes of hers.
He always thought that her eyes were exceptionally pretty. When he first started having feelings for her, it was not because of that pretty face of hers. It was because of those crystal clear eyes.
No matter what happened, those eyes never changed.
He looked at her and sighed helplessly. “I just talked to Father about Black Eagle.”
“Ah, what did Father say?”
“I didn’t give him a chance to speak. He must have been shocked himself.”
Gu Jingze said, “Come on, let’s go get your wound cleaned.” As he spoke, he carried Lin Che in his arms.
Lin Che was not done with her questions. She put her arms around his neck and asked, “So what now?”
“I don’t know.” Gu Jingze looked ahead. His eyes were cold.
Lin Che sighed and looked at him. “Silly, you’ve done what you could. All of this is not your responsibility. You didn’t do it. Whoever did it will bear the responsibility. It’s up to the two of them now. You don’t have to do anything.”
Gu Jingze looked down at her.
Lin Che said, “No matter what, you can care less about this!”
Gu Jingze heard this and hesitated. Then, he indeed felt a lot better.
This magical woman could influence anyone to adopt that easygoing attitude of hers.
Furthermore, she did not think that there was anything wrong with her logic.
In the distance, Gu Qigang wanted to approach them but Mu Wanqing stopped him.
“It’s okay. With Lin Che around, Jingze will be fine. Anyway, don’t bother about this anymore. But what were you two talking about just now? Why is he so angry?”
Gu Qigang looked at her and his eyes shifted. Somehow, he felt guilty.
