Tong Su and Wu Ming had just returned to Qing City.
Gu's father's search for her was not, as outsiders claimed, out of concern for his daughter.
Gu Guanghai didn't have much fatherly affection for the original owner of the body. His indifference inevitably led to gossip, and since he valued his reputation, he couldn't stand people talking behind his back.
The Yang family was ruined largely because he had been married into the family for many years, and was looked down upon behind his back, with people saying he was a kept man.
He didn't hate those who gossiped, but he hated his wife, Yang Jia.
Wu Ming didn't come along at first; he went to familiarize himself with the identity information assigned to him by the organization. Tong Su returned to the Gu family on her own.
As soon as she arrived home, she rang the doorbell. The servant opened the door, and upon seeing her face, screamed in alarm and ran quickly into the villa.
"Sir! Sir! Miss, she..."
While Gu Chengzong was talking in his study, Gu's father heard the servants shouting and yelled, "What are you yelling about! What happened to Yanxue? Didn't she go to school?"
"Not Miss Tang, but..."
The Gu family man frowned: "I've already said it, Yanxue is a daughter of the Gu family. Why call her 'Miss Tang'? Call her 'Miss'!"
The servant paused, looking troubled: "But what about Miss Zhuyang?"
“She’s already passed away. Now, we only have one young lady left in our family!” Gu Chengzong sneered, raising his chin. “Don’t you understand? By the way, what happened to Yanxue? You’re making such a fuss, acting like you’ve seen a ghost.”
As the two left the study and prepared to go downstairs, the servants hurriedly realized what was happening and were about to speak when a soft chuckle came from downstairs.
"It's like seeing a ghost. I was on the death list, but to see me come back alive is just like a ghost returning to the world, isn't it?"
The girl's voice was soft, but the sarcasm in her words was so biting that it made one blush.
Mr. Gu was taken aback when a person came up the stairs.
The girl had lost a lot of weight and looked pale, clearly having suffered a great deal. She was wearing a very ordinary T-shirt and was carrying a bag containing several passports and other documents.
Upon seeing his daughter, who had survived a great ordeal, return, Mr. Gu's first reaction was not joy, but a grim expression: "What did you mean by what you just said? How can you speak to your father like that!"
“I went missing, and my father searched for me for two months. Then, so quickly, he arranged for a death certificate and brought my cousin into our home, taking over my place. What kind of father are you?”
Tong Su retorted sharply, questioning her aggressively.
Mr. Gu was stunned, then flew into a rage, reaching out to slap her, but Gu Chengzong quickly stopped him: "Uncle! Zhu Yang is back safe and sound, that's good news. The Ye family will be very happy to know, why are you hitting her?"
His words sounded like advice, but they also reminded Gu's father and the Ye family. Gu's father hesitated for the only time, then looked up and met Tong Su's thin face, and was suddenly shocked.
She had really lost a lot of weight, and her lips were pale, as if she had been seriously ill. Well, regardless of how she escaped, being kidnapped like that must have been very torturous.
She was, after all, their own daughter, and the Ye family had asked her about it multiple times.
Upon realizing this, Gu's father's anger finally dissipated. His face remained displeased, but he did not hit anyone again.
Seeing his father's softened expression, a chill flashed through Gu Chengzong's heart, but his face remained serene and gentle as he smiled.
"It's so lucky that my cousin is back safe and sound. I'll help you cancel your death record right away. By the way, how did you escape?"
