After saying that, he led the security personnel into the house first. They had another task: to seal up Gu Yong's study, check all the documents inside, and take them away.
They also need to check Gu Yong's luggage to see if there's anything he shouldn't have taken.
Besides, they are comrades-in-arms after all, so we should make things convenient for them.
Gu Yong's lips trembled; he wanted to say something, but couldn't utter a single word.
She looked at Jiang Zhiyuan, Jiang Zhixing, and Xu Ningyan with a mixture of guilt and longing.
At this moment, he found Xu Ningyan incredibly pleasing to the eye.
Jiang Zhiyuan and Jiang Zhixing remained calm and unmoved, especially Jiang Zhixing, who even appeared somewhat reluctant and perfunctory.
He shoved the things he was carrying in front of Gu Yong and said gruffly, "Keep these things for the road!"
After saying that, without waiting for Gu Yong to accept the things, he put them on the ground and turned to walk to the gate of the courtyard.
Gu Yong's excitement was dampened, and he lowered his eyes to look at what was placed in front of him.
It was also a package, bulging and bulky, and I had no idea what was inside.
Then, Jiang Zhiyuan, who was also carrying a bag, looked more composed and placed the bag in front of Gu Yong: "These were packed by Yan Yan and me. You might find them useful when you get to the Northwest! Take good care of yourself!"
After saying that, he grabbed Xu Ningyan and started to leave.
Gu Yong's eyes reddened, and he rushed forward to grab Jiang Zhiyuan's arm urgently: "Zhiyuan, have you... have you forgiven your father?"
Jiang Zhiyuan sneered: "Don't worry, I will never forgive someone who protected the murderer who tried to kill me and my fiancée! I came to deliver this to you today just to see what your fate will be—"
Gu Yong gave a bitter smile: "You've seen my fate now! It's what I deserve, it's my retribution!"
But he quickly realized something: "I'm being sent down to the countryside now, and you're still coming? Won't that affect and implicate you? You should leave now! Take all your things too! I don't need anything, and I have no face to take your things! Back then, for that bunch of heartless ingrates, I, I—"
I'm too ashamed to continue.
Xu Ningyan spoke up: "Oh, don't worry about that. As the victim, I want to see the fate of those who harmed me. Everyone can understand! They're just accompanying me! How does it feel to be betrayed and abandoned by your own family, Commander Gu?"
Gu Yong: Okay, he just found Xu Ningyan pleasing to the eye, it must be an illusion!
However, he had no face to be angry, since the other person was right!
Who can be nice to someone who has taken their life?
He could only lower his head and remain silent.
Xu Ningyan took two steps forward, entered the house, glanced around, and then feigned surprise, saying, "Oh dear, what happened to this house? Was it ransacked?"
Gu Yong was too ashamed to say it.
Jiang Zhiyuan followed him in and saw that the house was truly bare!
It seems they're too late. Yesterday, Gu Daikui and his gang completely ransacked the Gu family's place.
Ah, it's a pity I didn't see that scene!
However, I didn't expect Gu Yong to be so resilient. Betrayed by his son and family, and all alone, he can still stand here steadily today. It seems that I underestimated Gu Yong.
Xu Ningyan walked around the room for a while, then strolled over to Gu Yong, her expression tinged with sympathy: "Oh dear, everything's been moved out! Not a single person was left! Commander Gu, where are your two eldest sons? Oh, I misspoke, only one is left, and the other is facing a military court! Where's your first wife? Where are your grandsons? And your parents? Why aren't they here? Don't tell me you're all alone now? Sigh, no wonder the old saying is true, 'Husbands and wives are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately!' But Commander Gu's family is even worse; not only have the husband and wife flown away, but their sons, parents, and grandsons have all gone too—"
Seeing his strange and unsettling appearance, Jiang Zhixing couldn't help but burst out laughing as he walked to the door.
He chimed in, "Sister-in-law, don't you know? That guy's good eldest son, good wife, and good parents all published notices in the newspaper severing ties with him! He's all alone now! But I didn't expect that severing ties with people doesn't mean severing ties with the Gu family's things! They moved everything out! Tsk tsk, that really lightens the burden on our army's logistics department! Look at this house, they don't even need to sweep the floor, do they?"
Gu Yong's face turned red, but he had no words to refute it.
Finally, I gritted my teeth and thought, "Fine, fine. At this point, what's wrong with letting people say a few words?"
At least the youngest only said a few words, but he still brought things to give him.
Compared to the two ungrateful children, he's already much better!
He hurt the child's feelings before, so he should be grateful for this outcome!
Seeing that Gu Yong had actually held back after hearing this, Jiang Zhixing felt that it wasn't very interesting anymore.
He chuckled and then fell silent.
Some of the security personnel left to search and seal the study. On the desk, Gu Yong had already written down the safe's password, and the key and other items were placed on the table.
A few people are enough.
The remaining people came down to check Gu Yong's belongings and his person.
The old acquaintance smiled apologetically at Gu Yong: "Old Gu, these are all disciplinary regulations, please bear with us!"
Although it's said that once someone leaves, they're forgotten, judging from Gu Yong's current state, he's probably never going back.
But their son is right there. Even though they've severed ties, his presence today is a gesture in itself.
Even his old acquaintances couldn't help but feel a little envious and jealous of Gu Yong.
That old man, his first two sons were no good, but these two who were mistreated not only turned out to be successful themselves, but also came to his rescue when it mattered most. He must be incredibly lucky.
What a pity, he didn't want such a good day! He deserves what he got today!
Gu Yong regained his composure: "I know, the necessary checks will be done!"
After saying that, he made a gesture of invitation.
However, she added, "This small bag contains some odds and ends that Jiang Yuan forgot to take with her when she left. I packed them all up yesterday. I was thinking of asking you to give them to Jiang Yuan, but since the two brothers are here today, and you've checked these things, please take them back with them!"
The old acquaintance nodded, indicating that he should first check the package supposedly intended for Jiang Yuan.
Inside were several pieces of Jiang Yuan's clothing, a small bag, several small photo frames containing photos of Jiang Yuan, and some odds and ends that Jiang Yuan hadn't taken with her.
Knowing that it belonged to Jiang Yuan, the leader paused for a moment and personally inspected it. He seemed to be quite restrained in his inspection, only glancing at it briefly. Finding nothing that shouldn't be there, he put it aside.
They examined Gu Yong's belongings with exceptional care.
He touched every inch of the bedding, pillows, clothes, and shoes, leaving no place untouched.
Another person searched Gu Yong's body, touching all his pockets and even making him take off his shoes for inspection before signaling him to put them back on.
Gu Yong knew their methods, so the security personnel found nothing during the search.
Besides the luggage, they found only seventy or eighty yuan in change in Gu Yong's coat pocket, as well as a family photo of Jiang Yuan, Gu Yong, and the Jiang brothers.
This was the only family photo Gu Dajun and his family took before they found the capital.
