Chapter 34 - Something Happened to the Shen Family

Gu Zhen hung up the phone and wiped her face. She immediately stopped crying and looked cold.

The adults were like this. If you took a step back, they would take ten steps forward. If you took a step forward, they would immediately compromise.

She had understood this principle since she was young.

Although she had received her mother's promise, she knew that she still had to rely on herself for everything. It was useless to completely rely on others. Her idiotic parents had never been worthy of 100 percent trust!

Before that little country bumpkin came, everything was fine. So, as long as that little country bumpkin disappeared, everything would naturally return to how it was before.

"How to make a child disappear?" She searched the internet on her phone.

Looking at the comments below, Gu Zhen felt her blood boiling.

There had to be a way!

Mother is an idiot, Hmph! It was better for her to do it herself.

...

Zhizhi took an afternoon nap on Han Li's bed. Han Li took out a picture book and read a story to Zhizhi.

This feeling made Zhizhi feel a lot more at ease.

Both her sister and Brother Shen Bai had done the same thing. Listening to a story to sleep would give Zhizhi a sense of security.

Han Li looked at his daughter's sleeping face and felt extremely satisfied.

At this moment, she did not care about anything else. As long as her daughter was back by her side, she would be the happiest woman in the world. For the rest of her life, her life would be in Zhizhi's hands. She leaned against her daughter and had the most peaceful sleep in many years.

In the top-floor meeting room of the Gu Group, Gu An and Gu Nian were listening to Gu Su's briefing.

The door suddenly opened and the secretary led Gu Sen in.

"Dad? What's wrong?"

"Grandpa?"

The three of them quickly stood up to welcome him.

Gu Sen walked in with his walking stick. Gu An gave up the main seat and helped his father sit down.

After the secretary left, Gu Sen slowly said, "Why didn't any of you tell me that something happened to the Shen family in the capital?"

The father, son, uncle, and nephew looked at each other. Gu An said, "Dad, what happened to the Shen family was an accident. We've already gone to ask about it. Uncle Shen's health isn't good, so Shen Da didn't tell Uncle Shen about Shen Chao's family. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take it. We don't want you to be sad too. We'll help as much as we can. Don't worry."

"Shen Da has always been in the core position of the Shen family," Gu Nian added. "Even though the incident happened suddenly, it did not cause too much chaos in the Shen family. It stabilized in about half a year. Dad, don't be sad. We'll arrange for you two to meet when Uncle Shen is better."

Gu Su did not say anything.

The old man's gaze fell on Gu Su's face. "How about you? Is there any different news?"

Gu Su lowered his eyes.

"Tell me." The old man looked at him. "I know you're more open than your father and uncle."

"I can't hide anything from you, Grandpa," Gu Su said with a bitter smile.

Gu An and Gu Nian looked at Gu Su. They were not surprised at all. This child had never been under their control since he was a child. If there was any sense of defeat, it would have been long gone. He had long assumed his position as an elder and accepted that this young man had surpassed him.

"I once saved Qin Huai's life by accident. Qin Huai then owed me a favor," Gu Su said.

"Qin Huai?" Gu Nian exclaimed. "The one who saved our Zhizhi?"

Gu Su nodded slightly. "Yes, when Qin Huai wanted to return the favor, I made this request. I didn't expect her to really do it. The first time she sent me a message was half a year ago. She told me that she was sure that she had found my sister and that we had agreed on a time and place to pick her up. In addition, she would also give me information of the organization that kidnapped my sister, as a way of returning the favor."

"However, she didn't show up at the agreed time and place. She disappeared. I used many connections to look for her, but in the end, I said that she died while carrying out a mission."

"Then what about our Zhizhi?"

Looking at his grandfather, father, and uncle's nervous expressions, he let out a soft sigh.

Only then did the three of them realize that they had been too nervous. Zhizhi was already at home.

"Qin Huai and I agreed to meet overseas. However, half a year later, Zhizhi appeared at Peppermint Alley," Gu Su continued.

"This means that Qin Huai didn't die half a year ago." Gu An said.

Gu Su shook his head gently. "Of course, the person who helped me investigate had irrefutable evidence. There shouldn't be any mistakes. But I've also asked Zhizhi and the people in Peppermint Alley. Qin Huai did die after returning to Peppermint Alley."
