Gu Yiyuan: "Boss, she's being discharged from the hospital today. Do you want to go?"
"How's the investigation going? Don't tell me you haven't found anything yet?" Yuming replied, ignoring the question.
Gu Yiyuan: "I found it. I wasn't sure before, but I was sure after the news came from New Zealand."
Yuming: "Are you sure about what?"
Gu Yiyuan looked at Yuming, somewhat hesitant: "Boss, this matter might be a blow to you. Are you sure you want to listen?"
Yuming nodded affirmatively. He was no longer the same person he used to be. Having been reborn, he was no longer so easily defeated.
Gu Yiyuan: "All the evidence at present indicates that your uncle is definitely involved in Leng Xing's death."
Yuming: "Continue."
Gu Yiyuan: "At that time, Madam happened to be in Haicheng. After Leng Xing's accident, Madam also coincidentally returned."
Gu Yiyuan cleared his dry throat: "Every time Madam goes to Haicheng, she is entertained by young boys, so..."
Yuming: "My mother isn't that kind of person!"
Yuming was like an enraged lion. How could he insult his mother like that? In his memory, his mother had always been dignified and elegant, the most gentle and virtuous mother in the world. How could she possibly do what Gu Yiyuan described?
Gu Yiyuan was silent for a moment, then took out a stack of photos and placed them on the table. "These are about Madam's affairs in Haicheng."
In the photo, Yuming's mother showed no trace of gentleness, virtue, nobility, or dignity; she was a mother Yuming had never seen before.
He was surrounded by women on both sides, his eyes filled with intense desire, and he laughed wildly, like a queen, with a frail young boy under his feet.
Is this still the mother he remembers?
"Where...did you get this?" Yuming didn't know how to start the conversation. He hoped it was all a lie. But the woman in the photo had the same red mole on her left breast as his mother.
My mother never wore collarless clothes, and many people didn't know about the red mole on her chest. Yuming's eyes stung from the sight of his mother's red mole! Why?
Gu Yiyuan sighed and said, "Boss, you've been protected too well by the master and madam."
"Master must have known about Madam's situation for a long time. You also know that Madam returns to Haicheng for a short stay every year, right?" Gu Yiyuan didn't give Yuming a chance to evade the question.
Yuming: "Why?"
Gu Yiyuan: "This is actually quite normal; the circles of the wealthy have always been like this. It's just that the master and mistress have never allowed you to come into contact with them!"
"Father?" Yuming asked with some difficulty.
"Master didn't. He hasn't contacted anyone except Leng Yue." Gu Yiyuan also found it strange. Why hadn't he contacted anyone before, and then suddenly he contacted Leng Yue? "As for why he suddenly got involved with Leng Yue, I need some more time."
"No need, you can leave." Yuming suddenly couldn't bear it anymore. The good mother he always thought of had become an ugly, wicked woman, and the scumbag father he always thought of had become a good father who endured humiliation. Leng Yue might also go from being a murderer to a victim! Was this still the world he knew?
Gu Yiyuan: ...What do you know? How come I don't know anything?
However, Gu Yiyuan eventually left the office quietly.
Yu Ming had no idea whether Gu Yiyuan had left or when he had left; the scenes of father and son spending time together kept flashing through his mind.
"Son, Dad won't hurt you!"
Yuming: "You killed Mom!"
"Your mother... she brought this upon herself, don't mention her..."
Yuming: "You're a selfish bastard!"
"Yuming, you don't understand your father. Your father is not the kind of person who lusts after beautiful women! Your mother has always been my only one!"
Yuming: "You married Leng Yue! You've let Mom down!"
...
The father and son had always been like this; their relationship, which was not particularly close to begin with, became even more irreconcilable after the mother's passing.
Until his father's dying moments, his worried gaze and inexplicable words were: "Yuming, trust your father, don't drive Lengyue away, she is yours..."
What is she? What were the words her father didn't finish saying?
In his past life, how did he die? He was hit by a car, and no one said it had anything to do with Leng Yue. But if it wasn't her, then who could it be?
Where was Leng Yue back then? It seems like it's been a long time since I've seen her. The servants all say that Leng Yue ran away with someone after running off with the money.
She ran off with the money? How much? He knew the company best. When Leng Yue left, everything was fine, without any problems. So why did she run away?
Her father left a will, bequeathing the entire estate to Leng Yue, including companies, various properties, and shops across the country. She's the biggest winner; why would she need to elope with someone of dubious origin?
A complete mess!
Right, elopement? The time should be approaching! If I remember correctly, in my past life, Leng Yue disappeared around these same time.
Thinking of this, Yu Ming pressed the intercom, and a moment later, Gu Yiyuan came in.
Gu Yiyuan: "Boss, you were looking for me?"
Yuming: "Send more people to keep an eye on Leng Yue."
Gu Yiyuan: "Can I ask why? Didn't you order the previous people to be withdrawn?"
Yuming: "Just go when I tell you to. Why are you getting more and more gossipy?"
“Lengyue is a breakthrough point. Perhaps we will soon know everything.” Yuming said, talking about the ancient gossip, but he still gave an explanation.
"Boss, can I say something else?" Gu Yiyuan seized the opportunity to climb up the ladder.
"I didn't cover your mouth!" Yuming snapped back angrily.
"Boss, I've noticed you're different! You seem much more mature." Gu Yiyuan spoke with genuine sincerity. He and Yuming were nominally superior and subordinate, but in reality, they were classmates. Yuming had always been too well protected, and could be said to be oblivious to the hardships of life.
Yuming is a good person, excellent and proud, with many friends behind him, but he can't withstand even the slightest setback.
Gu Yiyuan didn't like people who had never seen darkness! He and Yuming had only ever been nodding acquaintances until Yuming suddenly approached him, saying he wanted to establish a detective agency and asked him to be the head.
Only then did Gu Yiyuan realize that the once proud and arrogant son of a landlord had become more reserved and had developed a darker side!
And so, the two became superior and subordinate, boss and employee.
Yuming: "Thank you!"
Gu Yiyuan: "Hahaha, I'm leaving!"
Watching Gu Yiyuan's retreating figure, Yu Ming's eyes flickered. Gu Yiyuan was wrong; this wasn't maturity, it was the price of his life!
The reason Yuming found Gu Yiyuan after his rebirth was because of his father's inexplicable last words.
Yuming didn't trust detectives he found online. Since that was the case, he thought of finding someone he knew who was capable. Gu Yiyuan was the first person he thought of.
Gu Yiyuan, a high school classmate, is someone who knows about his family situation but never tries to curry favor with him. He has loved mystery since childhood, and someone in his family works in the police force; he even assisted the police in solving a serial murder case during high school!
However, due to health reasons, Gu Yiyuan did not attend police academy. Instead, he studied chemistry and chemical engineering and chose to study abroad after graduation. During this time, he joined a well-known foreign detective agency.
After returning to China, Yuming immediately contacted him, established a detective agency, and asked him to stay.
So far, this is the best thing Yuming has ever done.
