Lin Wu looked surprised.

Gu Tangzhang nodded solemnly and said shockingly, "It was the young man who sent the antidote to the funeral home. He is related to your mother."

"At first, Dad didn't know about these things. At that time, your mother was in poor health and often tried to commit suicide. I was really worried that something might happen to her, so I stayed with her all day long, trying to comfort her and let her let go."

Hearing this, Lin Wu's eyes flickered slightly, but he remained silent.

Gu Tangzhang didn't want Lin Wu to know too much about those difficult days, so he just briefly mentioned other things.

"It was probably like that for several months. Suddenly one day, your mother got better. Not only did she become more stable and return to her old self, but she was also willing to go out and face us. She had breakfast with us and even asked to go out for a walk to relax. It was rare to see her in the mood to go out, so of course Dad agreed and wanted to go with her."

"But your mother refused at the time and insisted on being alone and didn't want anyone to disturb her. We didn't dare to provoke her, so we just agreed to her request. However, her previous experience in North City really left a shadow on Dad, so Dad followed her quietly to prevent her from getting into any accidents again."

"Unexpectedly, my father discovered that she was meeting a young man."

At this point, Gu Tangzhang frowned.

"My first impression of that young man was that he was not a simple person," he said. "Before that, I had never seen that person around your mother, let alone heard her mention such a friend. They went into the private room of the club and stayed alone for a full hour. There were no surveillance or listening equipment in the room, and the soundproofing was good, so Dad had no way of knowing what they said."

Lin Wu asked directly: "Did you ask the teacher?"

Gu Tangzhang sighed, "I did ask. After your mother came out of the club, she went back home, so your father had no choice but to follow her and asked someone to check on the young man. However, when he asked about it at Gu's house, your mother said that she hadn't seen anyone and was just wandering around."

Lin Wu was surprised: "Teacher... lied to you?"

Gu Tangzhang shook his head without hesitation: "She didn't."

Lin Wu: "? Didn't you say that the teacher..."

"I know my wife too well." Gu Tangzhang said solemnly, "I can tell at a glance whether she is lying or not. When she is unsure, she will do small movements that she is not aware of, and she will touch her nose unconsciously. But what she said was very natural at the time, as if she was just strolling around to relax and didn't know she was meeting such a person."

Lin Wu was stunned and confused. After a while, he said, "Teacher, she doesn't know what she did, or the memory of meeting that person has disappeared?"

Gu Tangzhang nodded: "Yes, she was in this state at the time. She was wondering why I asked that question, and then she prepared to pick up the children from school."

Lin Wu frowned slightly.

After thinking for a moment, she said uncertainly, "Did the teacher develop another personality because she couldn't accept the blow and her mental state was unstable?"

Gu Tangzhang hesitated for a moment, thought about it and shook his head: "No. At that time, doctors would come to treat your mother regularly. If that was the case, the doctor would have discovered it long ago. But the doctor at the time said that your mother just forgot the painful and unacceptable memories due to stress."

"In fact, if you think about it carefully, your mother often did some unexpected things back then, but she didn't remember them afterwards. In the past two years, your mother's condition has gradually stabilized, and it is what you see now."

Lin Wu still frowned after hearing this.

But she didn't understand medicine and couldn't figure out what was going on.

Forget it, I’ll write it down and go back to ask Bo Yuting.

He should know more about this. At worst, he knows some good doctors in this field and can consult them.

Lin Wu then asked, "So, what about that young man? What did you find out at that time?"

When mentioning that young man, Gu Tangzhang's expression became a little cold and serious.

He said, "That young man is indeed no small figure. I had someone investigate for a long time before I could barely find out a little bit of his experience. It turns out that he and your mother were orphans in the same welfare home. His parents were unknown, and he was adopted when he was a teenager."

"I originally wanted to look up the person who adopted him, but there was a fire in the orphanage where he stayed, and both his and your mother's information was burned. The replacement records were incomplete, so I couldn't look any further. So I took the only photo of this person as a child, which was a group photo of him with everyone in the orphanage, and asked your mother if she remembered him."

Obviously, unfamiliarity is of course false.

Otherwise they wouldn't have met later.

But Chi Yangzhi really didn't remember anything at the time, so there was no way to get further information from her.

Gu Tangzhang was even more reluctant to force Chi Yangzhi to recall the past. He could not afford the risk of Chi Yangzhi having another mental breakdown, so he had to start investigating from other aspects.

Fortunately, a breakthrough was made soon after. It was about the extermination of the family of the funeral business owner. This young man was indirect as a "semi-murderer" to some extent.

At that time, the Five Elements had actually already wiped out the news of the tragedy of the funeral business owner's family. Gu Tangzhang inquired for a long time before he was able to get some of the truth. It was because of the former owner of the antique business that he knew the whole story.

"Wait, you said you knew about the annihilation of the funeral business owner's family. Did the previous owner of the antique business tell you?" Lin Wu interrupted and asked.

Gu Tangzhang nodded, "It was the former owner of the antique business, Miao Rensui. Moreover, he was the one who found out from somewhere that I was asking about this matter, and took the initiative to meet me, and told me everything about the funeral business owner's affairs."

He noticed that Lin Wu looked strange, so he asked, "What's wrong? Wu Wu, do you know the former owner of this antique shop?"

“…I don’t know him.” Lin Wu shook his head, paused, and then said, “But Bo Yuting knows him. Because Miao Rensui was his master. After Miao Rensui passed away, he took over the antique business.”

Because Bo Yuting knew him, Lin Wu felt it was a bit strange.

Because Bo Yuting told her that this person from Miao Rensui was a senior who was unwilling to associate with other industries, and who kept to himself and was indifferent to fame and fortune.

But according to Gu Tangzhang, all four industries participated in the murder of the funeral home owner, so couldn’t Miao Rensui be one of the murderers?

If so, why did Miao Rensui gradually fade out of the Five Elements in recent years, and before his death, he told Bo Yuting not to get involved in the affairs of the Five Clans? Was he feeling guilty about the funeral industry? "What? That kid is actually Miao Rensui's apprentice, and now he's the owner of the antique business?!"

Gu Tangzhang stood up immediately after hearing this. He could no longer maintain his composure and shouted, "Wuwu, you can't be with that kid! Don't you know that Miao Rensui is definitely not a good guy? How can the apprentice he taught be a good person? Besides, that kid Bo Yuting took over the Bo family when he was a child. He didn't lose to the old foxes in the Bo family and even tricked them to death. It shows how cunning he is! If you are with him, you will definitely be bullied by him..."

Lin Wu frowned and stared at Gu Tangzhang with his dark eyes.

Gu Tangzhang: “…”

Gu Tangzhang sat back, his momentum weakened, and he said carefully: "Dad is doing this for your own good, really. The Five Clans in Beijing and the Five Elements in the black market are both very deep, and he is a young man who can get along well with both sides. He is definitely not an easy person to deal with. How old are you? If you are really deceived by him, you may not be able to see it..."

"I know. Bo Yuting is a good person. You just don't understand him, so you have many misunderstandings about him." Lin Wu said expressionlessly.

Gu Tangzhang: “…………”

This is really a huge fallacy!

How could he not know that kid? ? After all, he had watched that kid grow up, and his own son had privately interacted with him countless times!

Who doesn't understand?

Damn it, what kind of magic potion did that kid feed his precious daughter? ! "Let's get down to business." Lin Wu said, "Why did the former owner of the antique shop take the initiative to find you, and what did you talk about specifically?"

Gu Tangzhang shed a bitter tear in his heart, and secretly vowed to find a way to correct his precious daughter's understanding of the black-hearted boy. He said, "I don't know why Miao Rensui suddenly came to me. I did ask him at the time, and he said that he felt guilty and couldn't bear to see the funeral owner's family buried."

"After he told me, I learned that the young man your mother met was related to the family of the funeral director. Then I quickly asked who had asked the young man to deliver the antidote."

“Because I was thinking, could this also be related to your mother?”
