“It’s not that I care about the value of that piece of land. The problem is, why did that child acquire that piece of land? Young Master Jie, I’m sure you know the reason.”
Gong Jie remained silent for a long time before returning to his seat. He curled his lips and said, “Young Master Gu is just worried that the Hurricane Group will use this piece of land to run an experiment. And when the time should come that we become the overlord, it will threaten the Gu family’s territory.”
“I am here for profit. Young Master Jie should understand such simple logic.” Gu Jinglian made it so clear that if Gong Jie did not understand this, he would have been completely unworthy of the position of the Hurricane Group’s chief commander!
In other words, Gu Jinglian was implying that the Gu family’s losses were small. If the Hurricane Group should develop too much in the future, it would be lonely at the top. Having monopoly would not be beneficial to either the Hurricane Group or the Gu family alike.
At the same time, he had also intentionally hinted that the child he had seen in North Africa might be Yun Tianyou.
However, Gong Jie still had to be certain! He said, “Hurricane will definitely compensate for the Gu family’s losses, but before that, you must give me a definite answer. Is that child called Gong Fan really Yun Tianyou?
“I don’t know.” Gu Jinglian continued, “No one would dare to make such claims, but the child I saw in North Africa looks the same as the child in the photo in your pocket watch.”
Hearing this, Gong Jie was so excited that his entire body started trembling! It was Youyou!? The rumored son of the demon god of the Hurricane Group, that mysterious young man, was really Youyou, who had disappeared without a trace in that accident?!
Gong Jie clenched his fists tightly. He did not know if this was a happy or sad matter!
If it were Youyou, why didn’t he go home?! Did he not want his family, his parents, his siblings? If it were not Youyou, how could two different children look identical?!
Gu Jinglian added, “Based on looks alone, the child is about nine years old.”
Nine years old!
Gong Jie obtained yet another piece of information.
Youyou was eight, going on nine when he went missing. It had been more than a year since he went missing. From the timeline, everything matched! He did not believe that there was such an odd coincidence. Hence, he firmly believed that the mysterious boy called Gong Fan was Youyou!
Gong Jie came to another conclusion. For the past year, Gong Shaoying had been hiding Youyou in Hurricane Group and no one knew about it! How did Youyou end up in his hands?
What had he done to Youyou?! How did Youyou, who had been missing for a year, become Gong Fan? How did he become so… Vicious?!
This was something Gong Jie could not figure out!
But one thing was for sure, at least, almost sure!
Youyou was Gong Fan!
Gong Fan was Youyou!
Gong Jie was extremely excited to come into this knowledge!
For the past year, he had not stopped searching for Youyou. However, the boy did not turn up, dead or alive. Yun Shishi had gone into depression from missing the boy. If not for Little Yichen and Yueyao accompanying her, she would not have been able to walk out of this darkness.
Gong Jie stood up and said to Gu Jinglian, “Young Master Gu, sorry to have interrupted you!”
He turned and hurried away.
Gu Jinglian watched Gong Jie’s back view coldly as he blew on the tea and took a sip. If this had been in the past, if the Gong Family had come to ask about such matters, Gu Jinglian would have pretended that it had nothing to do with him and would definitely keep silent.
However…
Things were different now.
Looking at Gong Jie’s nervous expression, he could imagine how anxious he would be if Baby Chu were to disappear without a trace for a year..
