Gu Zhengfeng smiled and glanced at his daughter, who was obsessed with officialdom. "You're such a troublemaker. I'm afraid to let you go out anymore. But luckily, you're quite skilled."

Now that Dad's out, let's go see your grandpa. We haven't seen him in ages.

Jiang Qiao sat up straight and said excitedly, "Dad, shouldn't we take this opportunity to go and see the house and dowry you bought for me?"

Gu Zhengfeng nodded with a smile; he loved seeing his daughter's energetic little face.

"Okay, then Dad will take you to see it. Anyway, it's your stuff, so you can decide what to do with it. Whether you take it back or move it somewhere else, it's up to you."

Jiang Qiao was very curious about what her father had prepared for her, and why he had hidden it in various places.

“There’s quite a lot of stuff. Even though you’re not with us, I always felt that I would find you someday. So, I started preparing when you were little. Your mother had a dowry, so why can’t my daughter have one?”

Then, Jiang Qiao brought up Zuo Zhankui's matter. Gu Zhengfeng had nothing to hide from his daughter and directly told her about the relationship between Zuo Zhankui and his father back then.

"Oh? He's that close to my grandfather?"

Then Jiang Qiao remembered a question, "If things are already so good, why can't we help Grandpa?"

Gu Zhengfeng sighed, "No one can help with your grandfather's matter. Everyone is in a position to deal with this. Even important figures are in this situation, let alone your grandfather, who is just a nobody."

Although your grandfather is suffering a bit in the countryside, things are not too bad for him right now. With your Uncle Jiang and the others taking care of him, at least nothing serious will happen. Haven't you seen people who are even worse off than your grandfather? Sigh, it's just that your younger uncle and his family can't take it anymore. If they could just hang in there a little longer, it would all pass.

His brother's death remains a deep wound in his heart; with his brother gone, he has nothing left.

Seeing that her father was a little sad, Jiang Qiao quickly changed the subject, and the two of them chatted for a long time in the room.

It wasn't until Xiao Li called them out and they saw Zuo Zhankui standing with a man in his fifties that Jiang Qiao had a gut feeling that this man might be the one she was looking for.

Zuo Zhankui excitedly grabbed Fang Yuejin's hand and said, "Come, come, let me introduce you. This is Lao Fang, Fang Yuejin. His name is different from the one you know before. Those were aliases he used when he was working. This is his real name. This is Gu Zhengkai's younger brother, Gu Zhengfeng. This little girl is Gu Zhengkai's niece. This is the child's adoptive grandfather—"

Gu Zhengfeng snapped to attention and saluted, then excitedly stepped forward and shook Fang Yuejin's hand. "Comrade Fang, thank you so much!"

Fang Yuejin also said with emotion, "Comrade Zhengfeng, it was all our mistakes that caused your brother to suffer such a great injustice. If I had known about this earlier, I would have come much sooner. Thank you, but it is what I should do. After all, I was ordered by the organization to send Comrade Gu Zhengkai to infiltrate the enemy. I never expected that there would be such a blunder later. It is Comrade Zhengkai who has truly suffered."

He had already heard about Gu Zhengkai's story. Ten years! This guy persisted for ten years without giving up. Even if a comrade like that is far away, he would still make the trip.

"By the way, I've already called the Organization Department to inform them. They'll send someone over today to find out what's going on. I'll also go over to meet them later. So, please don't worry about Comrade Gu Zhengkai's matter."

Jiang Qiao hadn't expected the other party to act so quickly; a single phone call and their superiors were down.

Jiang Qiao felt that there were advantages to acting like a child. Since the adults couldn't ask her about this, she should handle it herself.

"Grandpa Fang, Uncle Fang, may I ask you a question? Will the people conducting the investigation not believe what you and my uncle said? Also, if my uncle's situation has indeed been confirmed and he is a good person, what should be done with him in the future?"

Gu Zhengfeng was really too embarrassed to ask this question, but he didn't expect his daughter to say it for him. He secretly admired his daughter's boldness.

Fang Yuejin waved his hand and said, "This matter is not as complicated as you think. I left because of a job transfer back then, and your uncle's problem was not because of his betrayal. The organization will naturally investigate. Besides, my old leader is still here. If what your uncle said is true, then there is naturally evidence to prove his innocence."

Besides, even though he lost contact with the organization all these years ago, he has still been silently contributing to the War of Resistance against Japan. This is all verifiable. Girl, don't think of our comrade as so useless. We will not wrong a good comrade, nor will we let go of someone who betrays his comrade.

If your uncle is truly innocent, we will naturally seek justice for him, and the organization will take that into consideration.

Jiang Qiao nodded repeatedly, "That would be perfect, Uncle Fang. I'm entrusting my uncle's affairs to you. Please don't let him suffer any more injustices. It's an absolute waste of a man's life to waste his prime years in prison."

Moreover, for so many years, he hasn't been able to maintain normal contact with his family, enduring misunderstandings from his loved ones. He's done so much, yet he can't enjoy the freedom and ease that came with his struggles, not to mention the unfair treatment his children and elderly father have suffered because of him.

After saying this, she bowed deeply to Fang Yuejin. Fang Yuejin felt genuinely embarrassed. Although these words were spoken by a child, they truly reflected the little girl's feelings.

He grabbed Jiang Qiao and said, "Girl, don't be like this. To be honest, it's your uncle who should feel ashamed. If it weren't for me assigning him to do this, your uncle wouldn't have suffered ten years in prison for this reason. This matter started with me, and it has to be handled by me. Alright, now that we've made things clear, I'll set off by boat in a bit."

After seeing Fang Yuejin off, Gu Zhengfeng didn't know how to thank this uncle. If he hadn't known him, even if he and his father exhausted all their efforts, they might not have been able to find such a witness. Using an alias is really a risky thing.

Zuo Zhankui didn't care about this matter. "That's going too far. Putting aside the fact that your older brother has no problem, just considering my relationship with your father, I should still take care of this matter. Your older brother is a good comrade. Just for his persistence, I, as his uncle, should also grant his request. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

"You two have met, and things are almost settled here. What are your next steps?"

Gu Zhengfeng sighed, "Since the child went missing, she hasn't seen her maternal grandparents. I'm planning to take her to visit them so they can meet her. Her maternal grandfather was particularly fond of her back then, and just for that, the child should be allowed to meet him. I can accompany Uncle Gu and the others for a while, and then I'll go back and have the child accompany her grandfather to visit friends."

Zuo Zhankui nodded. "Alright, since you have made arrangements, I won't say anything else. Zhengfeng, take the child there, and you should go back early too. Be prepared for some things."
