Du Muchen was driving when he dropped off Madam Gu at the Gu family's old residence.
The phone rang.
Du Muchen's expression changed immediately upon hearing the contents of the phone call.
He asked in a cold voice, "How long ago was this?"
"Half an hour ago."
"Has the person been found?"
"The car is heading north, and we are currently tracking it with all our might. The Gu family has also received the news, and everyone has been mobilized."
"Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Du Muchen's expression turned serious.
Madam Gu, with her keen observation, knew that something must have happened.
"What happened?"
Du Muchen hesitated for a moment, worried that the old lady was too old to handle the shock.
The two elderly people have been together for decades, inseparable, and through the trials of time, their love for each other remains as deep as it was at the beginning.
This is an extremely rare and precious expression of genuine affection.
Therefore, Mr. Gu's kidnapping must have been a fatal blow to Mrs. Gu.
The old lady noticed that Du Muchen was staring at her, his brows furrowed, looking as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
My heart skipped a beat, and a bad feeling welled up inside me.
"Is it about the Gu family? Tell me, I can handle it."
Du Muchen nodded and decided to tell the old lady the truth.
"Grandma, Grandpa was kidnapped by a group of unknown people on his way to the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The driver was also knocked unconscious. It was only thanks to a passerby who called the police in time that the news was sent back."
Madam Gu paused slightly in the hand holding a string of white jade prayer beads.
His expression was much calmer and more composed than Du Muchen had expected.
After a brief pause, his wrinkled fingers continued to slowly turn the prayer beads.
"Hmph, they dare to mess with the Gu family right here in the capital. They've miscalculated. Although the old man is old, it's not so easy for ordinary people to touch him."

Old Gu was blindfolded, and the car was completely silent.
His expression was calm and composed, and he remained silent throughout.
Along the way, the old man silently calculated in his mind that from the moment he was tied up in the car, the car turned seven times and kept changing direction, making it feel more like a aimless wandering, and the cars passing by outside were not moving fast.
Therefore, we can conclude that they were wandering around the city the whole time, without leaving the capital, and it was impossible for them to be on the national highway or expressway.
On the other hand, it's highly likely that the person who hired him to kidnap him was someone from within the capital, or even someone he knew.
He chose to blindfold himself because he was afraid of revealing who he was.
Old Gu sneered inwardly; it was obvious he was acting out of guilt.
The car finally came to a slow stop as it turned the ninth bend.
The car door was opened.
Then, the person in the lead stood outside the car and looked at Old Gu inside.
"Mr. Gu, we've arrived. Please get out of the car."
Seeing that Old Master Gu remained seated in the back seat without moving, the man gave an impatient snort.
“This is not the Gu family home, and you are no longer the renowned iron-blooded general. In our hands, you are nothing more than an old man who still has some use.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the man reached out and grabbed Old Gu's right arm, pulling and supporting him as he was dragged out of the car.
Old Gu did not resist and was carried into the villa by two burly men.
"Ah!" As we walked through a narrow corridor, a girl's scream suddenly came from beside us.
Old Gu glanced to the side; his eyes couldn't see, but his ears became exceptionally sensitive.
That voice sounds familiar, is it Xin Yi?
A flicker of shock crossed my mind, and then a faint sound came from the direction from which the voice had come.
Immediately afterwards, a loud "bang" was heard as the door slammed shut.
The girl was probably taken away urgently.
"Behave yourself and hurry up!" The two middle-aged men supporting Old Gu looked tense and threatened him in a rough voice.
Old Gu pretended to be extremely calm, as if he hadn't noticed anything at all.
Let them lead me forward.
Old Gu silently counted his steps in his mind, estimating that the corridor was more than fifty meters long. Ordinary residences wouldn't have such a large area; this must be a very spacious and grand villa.
The sensation of friction under his feet told him that the floor was made of extremely expensive beech wood.
Connecting all the speculations, Old Gu's tightly clenched lips slowly curved into a smile, and he understood everything in his heart.

Gu Xinyi was covered in the mouth by Ye Yuzhen and pulled back to the room.
"Waaah..." Gu Xinyi stared with a pair of shocked eyes.
Ye Yuzhen only let go of her daughter after hearing the footsteps outside fade into the distance.
"You brat, you almost killed my whole family."
"Mom, what's going on? That person just now was my sixth great-grandfather. Why was he tied up in our house?"
Looking at her innocent daughter, Ye Yuzhen was at a loss.
My daughter was supposed to be at school today, but she suddenly came home and happened to run into Grandpa Gu.
The couple meticulously planned their plan and ultimately decided to kidnap Mr. Gu and take him home.
With the power of the Sixth Branch, if they wanted to find Old Master Gu in the capital, they could turn the entire map upside down and conduct a thorough search.
If we leave the capital, there will be even more trouble.
No matter which route you take, the surveillance network is wide open and can easily lock onto your target.
Therefore, the most dangerous place is often the safest place.
When the Gu family was being searched throughout the city, Old Master Gu was detained at the second branch of the family's residence.
No one would have imagined that the old man was in the hands of his own family.
To everyone's surprise, Xinyi suddenly returned from school today.
