Gu Yibei: "..."
He knew that his young father-in-law was definitely not a good person.
After finishing the meal, Gu Yibei showed no sign of leaving. Li Yuan frowned, just about to shoo him away, when Bai Chuan walked in at the right moment, "Sir, the car is ready."
"Okay." Gu Yibei responded, then turned to look at Li Yuan: "Dad, let's go."
"Where to?" What is this brat going to do with him?
Gu Yibei was helping Ji Zhinan put on her coat. After zipping it up, Gu Yibei said, "I've found the place where Mom was last seen."
"..." Upon hearing this, Li Yuan's spine stiffened.
After handing his daughter over to Old Master Ji, Xi Luo disappeared. Twenty years have passed, and everything has changed.
Twenty years of changes, coupled with the old man's somewhat hazy memory, meant that Li Yuan's main forces were all in Europe, and he couldn't mobilize them all at once. He had to rely on Gu Yibei, the host from Beijing, China, to step in.
…………
The four of them got into the car that Gu Yibei had already arranged, followed by several cars of bodyguards, and set off in a grand procession.
A day apart feels like three autumns. Gu Yibei felt like he hadn't sat with his wife in a long time, and he held Ji Zhinan's hand and played with it.
Li Yuan, unusually, did not give a death stare. He sat on one side of the car, his dark eyes fixed on the scenery outside the window.
At first, I was still in the capital city, where even the flowers and plants were exquisite. But after some time, the tall buildings disappeared, and it seemed like I had entered the countryside, with endless greenery, fields planted on both sides of the road, and rows of trees at the edge of the fields.
They have already left the capital.
It took at least five or six hours just to get there. We set off at around nine in the morning and didn't arrive until three or four in the afternoon.
The car entered an ordinary little village that didn't seem particularly special. On the narrow road, you could see farmers carrying hoes, heading to the fields to work. When they saw so many luxury cars entering their village, the farmers looked on with shock, as if they were seeing the world, and stared at the luxury cars for a long time.
They stopped in an open area. Shirakawa and his bodyguards got out of the car first and then surrounded a small, dilapidated house that looked like it hadn't been inhabited for a long time.
Gu Yibei helped Ji Zhinan out of the car, while Li Yuan and Eddie got out from the other side.
Bai Chuan walked over, nodded to Li Yuan, and then respectfully reported to Gu Yibei, "Sir, this is the place."
Gu Yibei put his arm around Ji Zhinan and looked at Li Yuan standing to the side. Li Yuan pursed his thin lips and stared silently in the direction of the small house for a moment before striding over.
Because no one had taken care of it for years, the house was already dilapidated. The door was not locked, and when Li Yuan pushed it open, it made a loud creaking sound.
This is a very ordinary old rural house. The main house is in the middle, the secondary house is on the side, and the kitchen is on the other side.
In the middle is a courtyard of moderate size, which has long been overgrown with weeds and is too small to walk on.
Is this the last place Xiao Luo appeared in?
Li Yuan looked somewhat dazed.
“Sir, Mr. Warrens, the village chief has arrived.”
Li Yuan turned his head and saw an elderly man standing behind Bai Chuan, who was bent over and looked quite old.
The village chief saw several wealthy people standing in front of him, who were undoubtedly from high society. He was a little frightened and said tremblingly, "Please come to my house and have a seat. I'll make you some tea."
