Early next morning.
Before Gu Jinyao left, he went to the police station.
Lu Yanshu had already said hello in advance.
Gu Jinyao learned in detail the ins and outs of the case from the chief of the Criminal Investigation Division.
I took pictures of the information with my mobile phone and left.
After leaving the police station, he called and arranged for two of his men to look for the old servants of the Chu family who had resigned. He told them to be careful not to expose their identities, not to alert others, and to call him as soon as there was news.
Grandma was seriously ill and he couldn't get away for the time being.
After taking care of grandma, I can go and investigate in person.
When he was approaching the airport, Gu Jinyao suddenly received a call from his mother.
Liu Wang asked: "When will you come back?"
"We'll be arriving at the airport soon." Gu Jinyao turned his head and looked into the distance. In the gray-blue sky, silver planes roared past.
Liu Wang's hoarse voice came from the phone: "Your grandma wants to see Su Hua."
Gu Jinyao's eyes darkened, "Please speak directly and don't beat around the bush."
"Your grandma wants to see you get married before she dies."
Gu Jinyao frowned slightly, "Marriage is a big event, and the time is too short to get married."
"Your grandma raised you with one hand. You are the one who hurts her the most and is worried about you the most." Liu Wang's throat became stiff. "You can't bear to see her die with regrets and die in peace?"
Gu Jinyao pursed his lips and remained silent, his deep eyes filled with suppressed pain.
Liu Wang said firmly: "Either marry Ye Zhu'er or marry Su Hua, you choose one."
Gu Jinyao raised his hand and rubbed his brow bone, "I have no feelings for Ye Zuer, and marrying her will harm her. Su Hua and Gu Beixian have a good relationship. It is impossible for her to marry me. Don't force me."
"I'm not forcing you, it's just your grandma's wish."
Gu Jinyao took a deep breath, "Wait until I get back and think about it."
"If you don't like Ye Zhu'er, mom can help you choose again. Mom has picked a few with acceptable conditions these days. Wait for you to come back and take a look."
Gu Jinyao was not interested, "Let's talk about it later."
Liu Wang emphasized his tone, "Your grandma doesn't have much time. You can either go on a blind date, marry Ye Zhuer, or marry Su Hua. Other than that, you have no choice."
Gu Jinyao picked up the phone.
There was unconcealable anxiety between his eyebrows.
He was always calm and composed and rarely felt this way.
I originally made an agreement with my mother not to get married before the age of thirty, but my grandmother's sudden serious illness disrupted all the rhythm.
Arrive at the airport.
Before boarding the plane, Gu Jinyao turned around and glanced at the exit. He didn't see Su Hua's figure, and he felt a little disappointed.
The shoulders and back, which were originally as straight as trees, seemed not to be so straight anymore.
After reluctantly taking one last look at the exit, he walked away.
After walking a few steps, an elegant female voice suddenly came from behind: "Brother Ayao!"
Gu Jinyao's heartbeat quickened instantly, and a smile couldn't help appearing on his face.
He looked back and saw Su Hua running over panting, followed by Gu Beixian who was striding forward.
Gu Jinyao strode towards her, "No hurry, don't run."
When you love someone so much, you feel heartbroken even if she takes a few steps.
Walking closer, Su Hua pressed her chest, which was rising and falling with her breathing, and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Ayao, there's a traffic jam on the road, we're late."
"It's not too late." He looked at her with gentle eyes, "It's already good that you can come."
Su Hua raised her wrist and looked at the watch on her hand, "How many more minutes are left?"
"Soon."
Gu Jinyao looked at Gu Beixian, "Protect her."
Gu Beixian nodded, "Have a nice trip."
Gu Jinyao looked at him deeply for a few seconds, then suddenly opened his legs and walked towards him.
Next, he made a move that surprised everyone. He hugged Gu Beixian weakly.
Gu Beixian's figure froze slightly, subconsciously rejecting his embrace.
I wanted to push him away, but I was afraid of hurting his self-esteem, so I gave up.
Gu Jinyao said in his ear in a voice that only two people could hear: "You saved my life in the last plane crash. If you need anything, just ask. I don't want to owe you a favor."
Gu Beixian said calmly: "You saved Su Hua's life, and I saved yours. It's settled."
"No, she is her, and you are you. If you tell me something, I will fight to the death." After Gu Jinyao finished speaking, he let go of him and walked towards the boarding gate resolutely.
The pace is fast.
For fear of slowing down, I would be reluctant to leave.
When Gu Jinyao's figure disappeared, Su Hua asked Gu Beixian: "You two were so mysterious just now. What did you say?"
"I didn't say anything." Gu Beixian took her hand and walked towards the exit.
Su Hua raised her head and looked at his face, and saw that he looked normal.
She said with a smile in a teasing tone: "Why do I feel that you two are a couple? When you hugged just now, you seemed to match each other so well."
A smile appeared in Gu Beixian's eyes and he rubbed her head, "It's just you."
Su Hua looked at him with clear eyes, "I'm here to see Gu Jinyao off, aren't you angry?"
"As long as you don't be sneaky, I won't be angry."
Su Hua squeezed his hand tightly with her fingers, "I was also afraid that you would be angry."
Gu Beixianying looked calm, "There's nothing to be angry about. Your heart is with me anyway, and Gu Jinyao is a gentleman."
He couldn't do the thing of robbing someone's wife.
Su Hua said sincerely: "I hope Brother Ayao can find his true destiny, and I hope he is happy."
"Yes." Gu Beixian raised his chin slightly and looked up at the sky.
A silver plane rumbled into the distance, and Gu Jinyao might be on that plane.
Send Su Hua back to Fengqi Chaoming.
Gu Beixian went to the flower shop to buy a bouquet of flowers and drove to the mental hospital on the outskirts of the city.
Hua Qinwan lives here.
Take the elevator to the ward where she lives.
Gu Beixian saw a tall figure standing at the door of the ward from a distance. He was wearing a dark gray long coat. His figure was elegant and noble, looking like a humble gentleman.
It's Lu Yanshu.
Seeing him here, Gu Beixian was deeply surprised, but also felt that it was expected.
Because of Su Hua, he loved the house and the crow, and the more he read Lu Yanshu, the more he liked it.
Gu Beixian quickened his pace, walked to his side, and asked in a deep voice, "Why don't you go in?"
Lu Yanshu smiled bitterly, "She doesn't want to see me. She gets extremely irritable every time she sees me."
Gu Bei I was shocked."
Lu Yanshu's expression was slightly stagnant, with unspeakable regret in his brows and eyes, and he sighed: "A good person is crazy when he says he is crazy."
Both fell silent.
for a long time.
Gu Beixian said: "I sent someone to check on Qiu Wan. She dropped out of school because of illness, not because of giving birth to a child."
Lu Yanshu slowly closed his hands, his expression changing slightly, "Did you guess it?"
Gu Bei The child is born, no matter who checks it out, Suhua is your and her daughter."
Lu Yanshu's expression froze and he remained silent for a long time.
Many complex thoughts came to my mind.
I didn't know how to answer him for a while.
Gu Beixian looked indifferent, "Now that we are in the same boat, there is no need for you to hide anything from me anymore."
Only then did Lu Yanshu smile, "You are smart, but you blame me for not taking the case to heart."
"The DNA information you left in the police database belongs to Aunt Qinwan. The hair and toothbrush you gave me, including the urine you sent someone to change a few days ago, are all Aunt Qinwan's. I can guess Is it right?"
At this point, Lu Yanshu could no longer hide it, so he only warned: "Don't let Xiaohua know."
"Why not let these two mothers and daughters recognize each other?"
"You should know about Xiaohua's death that year, right?"
Gu Beixian hummed, "I know a little bit."
"We are in the clear, and the murderer is in the dark. Once we recognize each other, Xiaohua's life will be in danger. We will wait until the murderer is found. There is no rush."
Gu Beixian thought for a moment, "That's fine."
Through the crack in the door, Lu Yanshu looked at Hua Qinwan who was holding a doll and humming a lullaby from a distance, with gentle and sad eyes, "This is the only thing I can do for Qinwan. If I can't protect her, I'll protect her." 's daughter."
"Thank you, Uncle Lu."
Lu Yanshu corrected him: "Call me father-in-law, don't reveal your secret."
"Okay, father-in-law."
After that, neither of them spoke.
Gu Beixian's dark pupils locked onto Hua Qinwan calmly, feeling deeply.
No wonder.
No wonder.
No wonder he cares about Su Hua so much.
Not only because she spent the most difficult and desolate time with him, not only because she called her "Brother Yao" in her dream, but also because he had lost her once.
Because you have lost it, you will subconsciously become particularly concerned about it.
He didn't believe in fate before, but now, he does.
Some people and some love are already destined.
Gu Beixian couldn't help but remember that when he was three years old, he was led by his mother to the Chu family to visit Aunt Qinwan and her one-month-old daughter, Chuhua.
She is a small one, wrapped in a light pink quilt, with soft and fluffy hair, transparent white skin, elf-like facial features, and a pink nose that is particularly annoying.
How come there are such cute children?
He curiously scratched her pink nose with his fingers, using very gentle force to avoid hurting her.
She was not afraid either. She turned her big black eyes and looked at him curiously, as if her eyes could speak.
At that time, Aunt Qinwan was not crazy yet.
She smiled softly and said to him: "Ah Xian, this is your future wife, you must take good care of her in the future."
