"Where is Uncle?" Tang Yue asked Gu Chun beside her, knowing full well that Lian Tong had something going on, but Tang Yue didn’t ask Lian Tong directly.
"He’s here for a few days too." Gu Chun replied.
Tang Zhengde and Zhang Hualian naturally didn’t object either.
So Gu Chun and Lian Tong stayed there. In the evening, Lian Tong went to rest early, while Tang Yue remained in the living room, holding a notebook, sketching designs.
Gu Chun went to the living room and sat down, accompanying Tang Zhengde and Zhang Hualian to watch TV.
Zhang Hualian, being very perceptive, felt that Gu Chun had something to say and took Tang Zhengde back to their room to rest.
In an instant, only two people were left in the living room.
"Uncle, what happened to Aunt?" Tang Yue put down her pen and looked at Gu Chun with a serious expression.
Last time, when Aunt came to see her, she seemed to be making arrangements for her affairs, implying something serious had happened.
This time after returning, Aunt looked fine on the surface, but her eyes had lost their usual liveliness and happiness.
Ever since Aunt and Gu Chun were together, even when making arrangements for her affairs, her eyes carried a happy relief. It was never like this.
"Previously, due to a business rival of mine, Tongtong and I wanted to make sure those people received the punishment they deserved. At the same time, the person who tried to kidnap you in Jin City was also him." Gu Chun explained, with a voice full of gritted teeth and regret when mentioning Boss Shi, making Gu Chun blame himself endlessly.
"And then?" Tang Yue asked carefully.
Gu Chun spoke in detail, especially about the kidnapping, which he described in detail. When he talked about losing that child, the grief in his eyes was evident, even though Gu Chun had tried to hide it.
"Uncle, compared to the child, I believe Aunt wants you safe more." Tang Yue reminded him; if it were her, she would also be unable to watch Meng Siyu get into trouble.
"I know, but I won’t let the person who harmed our child go. Although Tongtong seems cheerful on the surface, she cries secretly every night." Gu Chun was at a loss; he dared not wake up, and could only pretend to be asleep, embracing Lian Tong and giving her more care and love.
"Aunt is strong-willed; this pain in her heart won’t fade so easily." Tang Yue lamented. She hadn’t even had time to share her joy with her aunt, but her aunt had lost the child she had longed for.
Tang Yue remained silent for a while, then said, "Don’t worry, I don’t have many classes recently and will be at home most of the time, so I can accompany Aunt. Didn’t you say the mastermind, Boss Shi, is already dead?"
"He’s dead, but there’s something suspicious about that day’s events." Gu Chun was very sure about that.
Suspicious?
Tang Yue’s eyes flickered, "You mean, Lian Qingqing was there that day?"
"Yes." Gu Chun nodded.
"And afterward, did Lian Qingqing visit Aunt?" Tang Yue asked further.
Gu Chun found it strange, thought for a moment, and said, "She came but left again."
This, Gu Chun was very sure about, even if he wasn’t there, he had someone guarding the ward door. Lian Qingqing came once and then left.
Also because Lian Qingqing had received countless good things since childhood.
Moreover, after she saved Lian Qingqing, she couldn’t believe that Lian Qingqing would want her to get into trouble.
"Gu Chun, I hope you’ll seriously investigate this matter; if..." Lian Tong hesitated, then said, "If this is true, I won’t let Lian Qingqing go."
Gu Chun patted Lian Tong on the shoulder, feeling the situation had grown even more complicated. However, in his heart, Lian Tong was the most important, regardless of what happened to the Lian Family, it didn’t really concern him.
At most, he’ll sympathize with his brother-in-law.
The next day, Gu Chun went out, reassured that Tang Yue was keeping company.
Tang Yue went to class, while Lian Tong called Lian He, telling him to come to Jing City no matter what.
She had just experienced a miscarriage and was seriously injured, otherwise, she would fly directly to Sea City to figure things out thoroughly. Besides, Old Sir Lian was getting old; certain matters should be clarified sooner rather than later.
Lian He was a bit surprised to receive Lian Tong’s call, especially upon hearing Lian Tong and Tang Yue were staying together, as this phone number was Tang Yue’s. Lian He excitedly noted it down and immediately arranged for a direct flight to Jing City.
"Dad, are you going on a business trip?" Lian Qingqing heard Lian He was buying a ticket to Jing City as she arrived. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
"Going to Jing City to see Xiao Yang and Xiao Yue. Do you want to come?" Lian He asked. They hadn’t seen each other over New Year’s and had been busy afterward. He’d been thinking of going to Jing City, though it was a week earlier than planned.
Lian He thought Lian Tong didn’t mention the matter, perhaps to avoid worrying the old man.
