Chapter 600: Finding a Good Place

The Gu family is so wealthy and powerful, how come they haven't found his mother in all these years?

And why would the person go missing for no reason?

Gu Zhiyu was silent for a long time before answering, "It can't be said that she is missing. To be more precise, she left me and found a good place to go. So I didn't look for her."

"ah?"

Annan was extremely shocked: "You mean...she abandoned you?"

Gu Zhiyu closed his mouth and uttered a "hmm" from his chest.

The two were already married, and Gu Zhiyu felt there was no need to hide the fact about his family, so he said:

"Did I tell you back then that my father was kidnapped?"

Annan nodded: "Yes, you said so."

Gu Zhiyu's voice was very calm, as if he was telling someone else's story:

"He was very young when he was kidnapped and had no memory. The kidnapper was not a money-seeking peddler, but an mortal enemy of my grandfather who kidnapped him just to get revenge on him.

After the man was arrested, he did not confess where he had taken the person, but committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

After his death, all clues were cut off. The place where my father was sold was very difficult to find - it was a real deep mountain, surrounded by mountains on all sides, and there was no road or network..."

In the ignorant and backward villages, people have to buy wives if they can't find them, and they also have to buy children if they can't have them.

The young master of a wealthy family turned into a country boy who was bought to carry on the family line.

In addition to the police's efforts to investigate the case, the Gu family also spent a large amount of money to hire someone to investigate and search.

But in the end, they could only track it down to a small county town thousands of miles away.

There are many towns under the county seat, most of which are so backward that they don't even have surveillance. The difficulty of finding them is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

In fact, his father was not sold to a village under the county seat, but was transferred to several hands and finally sold to another more remote town.

From that remote town, you have to go deeper into the mountains - not a single mountain, but a series of undulating mountains that stretch as far as the eye can see.

After taking the village bus and then a motorcycle, there was no road at all. I had to walk into the mountains on foot to reach the ancient village.

Except for the people in their village, outsiders could not find a way in or out.

Gu Zhiyu's father was sold to such a place.

Not to mention ignorant children, even adult women who were abducted there couldn't escape.

"My father lived in that mountain for more than ten years because his adoptive parents..." He paused and added, "He didn't know they were his adoptive parents who were engaged in human trafficking. He just thought they were his biological parents."

"Because his parents passed away due to illness, he left the mountain and went to the city to work and see the world."

The so-called city is actually the nearest small county town after leaving the mountains.

He found a job as a waiter in a restaurant there. Because of his quick mind, he was well-liked by the boss and customers, and even became friends with many of the diners.

Three years later, some problems occurred in the boss's family, so he sold the restaurant at a low price.

He took out his savings from those years, borrowed a lot from friends, and since he had a good relationship with the boss, he successfully bought the store.

Since then, he has run the restaurant with great care, and the business has been getting better and better. He also upgraded the store and improved the dishes. Gradually, it has become the number one on the "must-eat list" in the county.

Later, as the store expanded and he made more money, he opened two branches.

After the small county town became big and strong, he was not idle and opened a store in the city.

Competition in the market was fierce, but there were also many opportunities, so the new store was doing very well. So he saw the right opportunity and opened two more supermarkets.

At that time, he already had the style of a small boss.

However, the real achievement of financial freedom was due to a later investment in an entertainment city.

At that time, he had a lot of spare money and made many friends through business, so his connections gradually expanded.

The most profitable industry at that time was the casino. He seized the opportunity and invested a large sum of money.

In the end, he was not disappointed. The entertainment city was really successful and he made a lot of money every day, which allowed him to cross the class barrier in one fell swoop.

Although he is still not considered a business elite or a big entrepreneur, he can be considered a well-known boss in the local area, and he associates with big figures in the city's business and political circles.

Annan couldn't help but interject when he heard this: "You Gu family members really have a natural talent for business."

After Gu's father was abducted, his life had a devastating start. If it were someone else, he might not even be able to find a wife, but he managed to carve out a good life for himself.

Gu Zhiyu remained silent. After a long while, he continued:

"That's when he met...my mother."

He found it difficult to say the word "Mom".

A man with a little wealth naturally has no shortage of women. He was busy with business before, but now that he has money and time, he naturally starts to study his lifelong affairs.

Father Gu picked the most gentle and beautiful one from among various eligible women and got married.

Just by looking at Gu Zhiyu's appearance, you can tell that his mother is extremely beautiful.

It is a good story for a beautiful woman to marry a big boss. But the good times did not last long. When Gu Zhiyu was five years old, something happened in the entertainment city, and she got into a big murder lawsuit.

Due to the changing times and the complex market situation at the time, it was impossible to just let it go, and it would cost a huge price to get rid of it.

At that time, his chain of restaurants was also attacked by its rivals, causing several "food poisoning" incidents.

This is how human luck works. When you are unlucky, even drinking a sip of cold water will get stuck in your teeth.

Bad things happened one after another, and in the end not only did he sell all his property, but he also had a lot of debts.

The family also moved from a big house with a nanny and a driver to a small low-rent house in a very bad environment.

Naturally, Mr. Gu fell into despair for a while, but he soon picked himself up and wanted to make a comeback.

But this time it's much harder than before.

After all, when he first fought, he was a young man with no worries and full of energy.

But at this time, he was burdened with huge debts, with people coming to his door every day to collect the debts. He also had to support his wife who was used to the life of a rich lady and his young son who was still ignorant.

Even eating has become a problem, how can he have the chance and capital to make a comeback?

Annan, who was standing by, felt miserable and depressed just by listening.

Gu Zhiyu's narrative tone remained calm.

The car had already entered Linbei City. He stepped on the accelerator to increase the speed slightly before continuing:

"My father didn't have a chance, but my mother did."

"Two years later, she took her 'chance'."
