Lu Mo said with a serious expression, "The Gong family massacre occurred in 1948, which is five years later. Gong Yi will be forty-five years old."

"Is this Gong Yi the head of the Gong family? He looks like the one in charge!" Ye Qingqing said, looking at the photo.

The man in the photo exudes an air of authority, clearly someone in a high position. Moreover, if he weren't the head of the family, who would have the audacity to take a photo in front of the palace gates? Most people wouldn't dare to do that.

While stroking his beard, Ding Ba said, "That's the head of the family. The Gong family's main base was in Beijing back then, but later the Boxer Rebellion broke out, and foreigners also caused trouble. Beijing was in complete chaos, so the Gong family moved to Pingjiang. The head of the Gong family who made the decision to move to Pingjiang at that time was Gong Yi's father, Gong Leng. Gong Yi is Gong Leng's eldest son, but this guy was just as unlucky as his father. He didn't have a single day of peace after he took power, and later his whole family was wiped out. Tsk!"

This guy knew the family history like the back of his hand, recounting the nearly 100-year history of the Gong family in great detail.

"How do you know so much, myna?" Ye Qingqing asked curiously.

Ding Ba said smugly, "Back then, everyone said this house was a haunted house. So your brother Ba asked someone to investigate the Gong family. To be honest, this Gong Yi is not bad. He did a lot of great things with the Green Gang back then. He's a big shot!"

As he spoke, Ding Ba couldn't help but give a thumbs up, his face full of admiration.

The Gong family member who colluded with the Green Gang to assassinate the intruders and the Han women was none other than Gong Yi.

The Gong family was incredibly wealthy. It was said that they owned 90% of the nation's shipping at the time, and their shipping operations extended far beyond China, encompassing Southeast Asia as well. Their daily income was so high that even the phrase "making a fortune every day" wouldn't be enough to describe their wealth.

Gong Yi provided the money, and the Green Gang provided the manpower. Together, they accomplished one major feat after another, causing a great sensation at the time.

After learning about the history of the Gong family, Ding Ba deeply admired Gong Yi, a man of courage and integrity. Now, seeing that he looked just like Gong Yi, he couldn't be more smug.

"I told you back then that I'm attached to this house. Look, if I had been born in that era, I could have accomplished something great like Gong Yi, and slaughtered a few bastards!"

Ding Ba pointed at the photo with a proud look on his face, as if he had done something great.

Lu Mo gave him a disdainful look and said coldly, "You'll indeed be able to do great things by then, taking down those pretty female spies and turning them to your side!"

"puff"

Ye Qingqing couldn't help but burst into laughter. To be honest, the possibility was quite high. Ding Ba's skills in seducing women were no less than Ye Xunmei's. If these two were sent back to the wartime era, they could probably turn quite a few female spies against their own side!

Ding Ba rolled his eyes and said sullenly, "I have principles when it comes to women. I absolutely won't take anyone who isn't of my kind. I wouldn't even look at a Japanese woman!"

He likes gentle, considerate, and understanding beauties, preferably older and more sensible. He doesn't care about younger women who are too noisy. Besides, he only wants Chinese women; he won't want women from other countries, no matter how beautiful they are.

“Eighth Brother, I think you must be related to the Gong family. Maybe you’re Gong Yi’s son, no, you should be his grandson,” Ye Qingqing guessed.

If they weren't related by blood, how could Ding Ba look so much like Gong Yi, as if they were made from the same mold?

Ding Ba scoffed, "How could that be? The Gong family was wiped out in 1948. I was born in 1970. The dates don't match up."

Lu Mo said in a deep voice, "It's also possible that the Gong family isn't completely wiped out!"

He felt that, given Gong Yi's strategic acumen, he shouldn't have been so easily wiped out; he must have made prior preparations.
