Song Qingyou was born with a beautiful bone structure, her appearance captivating and renowned throughout the capital. However, she had been sickly since childhood, like a precious porcelain doll, ...
Xu Zezhan: "..."
Gu Bai couldn't help but complain, "Can you please stop being so ridiculous?"
Fu Wenzhou's voice was low and gentle: "No."
Bodyguards were already waiting outside the door. When they saw Fu Wenzhou come out, they respectfully stepped forward.
The door to the private room was closed.
"Have you found Master Yunfang?" Xu Zezhan whispered in Gu Bai's ear.
Gu Bai was startled and shrank back, "You can talk, but can you not get so close to me?"
Xu Zezhan stepped back a little, speechless: "I'm asking you a question."
Gu Bai's expression turned grave again, and after a long while, he finally spoke: "He's dead."
"Dead?" Xu Zezhan was shocked. After a moment of silence, he said, "You told Song Qingyou?"
"I told her," Gu Bai said. "I told her as soon as I came back from overseas."
"Then she...?"
Gu Bai paused for a moment and then said, "No response."
He recalled the scene when he met Song Qingyou that day. When he told her that he had confirmed that Yun Fang had passed away half a year ago, she did not react at all. She just said "I know" in a very calm way, and even had the leisure to give him a gift to express her gratitude.
Xu Zezhan frowned slightly: "That's it?"
“Yes, she also told me not to tell Fu Wenzhou,” Gu Bai said.
There is nothing else.
Xu Zezhan lowered his head and took a deep drag on his cigarette, finally unable to hold back a curse: "What a fucking bastard!"
Gu Bai took a sip of wine and exhaled a breath of turbid air: "However, I still have some doubts. My grandfather had some dealings with Yun Fang in his early years. Although he liked to travel around, he had a deep obsession with returning to his roots. How could he have died overseas and even had a monument erected there?"
Xu Zezhan was silent for a moment, then said, "Who erected the monument for him?"
"We're still investigating," Gu Bai said.
Xu Zezhan hummed in agreement, picked up his coat and draped it over his arm. "Let's go back first. Listen to Song Qingyou about this. Don't tell Wenzhou about it for now."
Gu Bai got up, and the two walked out together.
The first floor of the bar was brightly lit and extremely luxurious.
Gu Bai was talking to Xu Zezhan when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a pure white figure out of the corner of his eye. He frowned, and when he searched for the figure in the crowd again, he could no longer find it.
Xu Zezhan, who was standing nearby, asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Bai shook his head: "It's nothing."
He must have been mistaken; how could Song Qingyou possibly be in a place like this?
