Gu Weiwei's hand trembled as she picked up the teacup, spilling tea all over the book and her clothes.
Upon hearing the sound, Fu Hanzheng leaned forward slightly to take a look.
"I...I'll go change my clothes."
She managed to maintain a calm expression and quickly left the study to go to the dressing room to change her clothes.
He entered the dressing room, lowered his eyes, leaned against the door, and trembled as he breathed.
She always believed that the Gu family's adoption of her and their provision of a comfortable life was a great favor to her.
However, the Gu family, who always prioritizes profit, would never do anything without expecting anything in return.
In the end, even adopting her was a secret transaction.
Because of her mysterious biological father who never showed his face, the Gu family provided her with the most luxurious life, carefully protected her safety, and concealed her background.
In those years, she looked at the diary her mother left behind and tried every means to find her biological father who had been missing for many years.
They even risked their lives to travel to war-torn areas after finding the slightest clue.
But she couldn't find it.
Gu Siting told her that her biological father had passed away long ago.
However, he clearly knew who he was, where he was, and even... he had seen him before.
He kept lying to her, not telling her a single piece of information.
Is she just a bargaining chip for Gu Siting and the entire Gu family to gain benefits?
She went into the dressing room and didn't come out for a long time. Fu Hanzheng ended the video call and came over to knock on the door.
"slight?"
Gu Weiwei snapped out of her daze, quickly changed her clothes, adjusted her expression in front of the mirror, and then opened the door to go out.
Fu Hanzheng noticed that she didn't look well and asked.
"Why is it taking so long? Are you feeling unwell?"
My stomach feels a little uncomfortable.
Gu Weiwei made an excuse and perfectly covered it up.
Fu Hanzheng thought for a moment and then said.
"It might be because of the alcohol I drank yesterday. If it gets serious, we'll go to the hospital."
Gu Weiwei nodded and obediently went to the sofa to curl up.
Fu Hanzheng gave her a cup of brown sugar water before calling Raymond to discuss important matters.
"Has there been any suspicious activity related to the Gu family recently?"
Raymond thought for a moment and then said.
"Nothing special. We haven't made any progress in our investigation of the people Gu Siting was looking for, and he hasn't found them yet."
Fu Hanzheng frowned slightly and said after listening.
"What about Gu Weiwei, the one the Gu family adopted?"
I just heard from the military that country that Gu Weiwei has been missing for several months.
“It seems like she hasn’t shown up for months. Should we investigate her?” Raymond asked.
Although Gu Weiwei is the eldest daughter of the Gu family, she does not interfere in the affairs of the Gu Group.
He can only be described as someone with artistic talent, which is why he has never been within their intelligence tracking scope.
Fu Hanzheng's face was stern. "Yes, investigate her. It would be best if... we could find her."
Raymond paused, then pressed for an answer.
"The person Gu Siting is looking for..."
Fu Hanzheng: "We're looking for them too. Maybe it's because they know about Gu Weiwei that the Gu family is looking for her."
"Understood, boss." Raymond hung up the phone after hearing this.
Gu Weiwei nestled on the sofa, holding her cup, watching him finish his phone call in front of her, and tentatively asked...
"Do the Fu family and the Gu family... have a deep-seated feud?"
Fu Hanzheng sat down next to her, his arm naturally around her shoulder.
“In my grandfather’s generation, the two families had a falling out. My second grandfather, an uncle, and an aunt died at the hands of the Gu family. Of course, the Gu family also paid the price.”
When the Gu family was mentioned, a dark and sinister look appeared in his eyes.
"More than 20 years ago, the Fu family had almost brought the Gu family to the brink of collapse, but suddenly an underground force supported the Gu family, which allowed the Gu family to quickly turn things around and even have close ties with the royal family in Country A."
Gu Weiwei took a sip of the warm brown sugar water and asked casually.
"Then what do you want to see Gu Weiwei for?"
Fu Hanzheng thought that if she knew about the feud between the two families, she would know to stay away from the Gu family in the future, so he did not intend to hide it.
“She is the daughter of the leader of that underground organization. These underground forces are always fighting each other. That’s why he concealed his daughter’s identity and entrusted her to the Gu family to raise. She is the biggest bargaining chip for the Gu family and his allies. As long as the Fu family finds her, the Gu family will be completely finished.”
Over the years, it was precisely because of the obstruction of that underground force that the Gu family was able to grow stronger step by step.
Gu Weiwei suddenly realized, "...Can we still find it?"
She's already dead, and now she's right beside him in this state.
“It seems that Gu Weiwei disappeared along with the Yuan family. The Yuan family was sent by that underground organization to protect her. If we find the Yuan family, we can find her,” Fu Hanzheng said.
