Gu Lang curled his lip, "Who doesn't have a wife yet..."
Suddenly remembering something, Gu Lang felt a little helpless. He hadn't been back for so long; Pei Zhen must have remarried by now, right?
Thinking of Haoyu, whom Lin Ying had mentioned before, Gu Lang didn't care about any plans after arriving at this room. Now that he was safe, what he wanted to know most was his son's condition.
"Put everything else aside for now, tell me about my son's current situation. Is Haoyu, whom you just mentioned, my son? How did he change his name?"
Zhao Qinghuai glanced at Lin Ying, then told Gu Lang what had happened.
When Gu Lang left, the revolution had not yet begun. His father held a high position, and no matter what, he could not have imagined that his father would end up in such a miserable old age.
Upon hearing of his father's death, Zhao Qinghuai went to the burial site, only to find the child already buried. Since there was no one to care for the child, he brought him back. Because of the sensitive nature of Old Master Gu's identity, he could only say that the child was an orphan he had found on the street.
They thought he was dead, so they registered the child's household registration in their home and renamed the child Zhao Haoyu.
Zhao Qinghuai didn't mention Pei Zhen's matter, but even someone as clever as Gu Lang knew what role Pei Zhen played in all of this.
Even with his strong will, Gu Lang's eyes still reddened.
After a long silence, Gu Lang finally asked, "How is Xiao Yuan?"
Lin Ying replied, "Yes, he's a very responsible older brother now. Before I came here, he had to take care of his younger siblings. He would be so happy to know you're still alive. The accidents that happened to you all have been a huge blow to him."
From Lin Ying's words, Gu Lang could tell that Lin Ying really cared for his son. In particular, Gu Lang knew that Zhao Qinghuai, like him, needed to go out on missions all year round. He understood Zhao Qinghuai's situation and it was clear who was taking care of the child.
"Thank you, thank you, sister-in-law!"
Lin Ying smiled: "You're welcome. I really like Haoyu."
After discussing family matters, the three finally got down to business.
Zhao Qinghuai explained why they stayed here instead of joining the main force, and then shared the plan he had written down.
Upon hearing this, Gu Lang's expression also became serious.
