Gu Wu and his group could easily observe Yun Duo's courtyard from their side. Moreover, there were always people on guard, even when they were eating or sleeping. So, as soon as Yun Dazheng headed this way, Gu Wu knew.
Gu Wu gestured to his subordinates, who weren't even dressed, to pay attention to their appearance while he went to open the door for Yun Dazheng.
Yun Dazheng walked to the gate of Gu Wu's courtyard. Before he could knock, the door opened silently, and Gu Wu stood there with a simple smile: "Uncle Yun, what brings you here so early in the morning?"
As she spoke, seeing what Yun Da was carrying, she added, "Oh... Uncle Yun, what are you doing? You're being too kind. We have plenty of food and drink here. In terms of age, you're the elder, and in terms of status, you're Miss's grandfather... We shouldn't let you spend money like this."
Yun Dazheng shook his head and said, "Brother Wu, don't be so polite. It's just a small token of our appreciation. As you probably know, we received quite a few New Year's gifts before the holiday. These things weren't bought with our own money, so it's not much of a waste."
"I didn't know about your relationship with Duo'er before, so I neglected you. Now that I know, it's time to make up for it."
As Yun Da was speaking, he took a step into the courtyard without making a sound, thus stepping inside.
Seeing this, Gu Wu's heart stirred slightly, then he smiled and replied, "Then I won't stand on ceremony, Uncle Yun. Thank you." As he spoke, he reached out and took the things from Yun Dazheng's hands. He then asked, "Uncle Yun, would you like to come inside and sit down? Have something to eat together?"
“No need for a meal, but…” Yun Dazheng paused slightly before speaking directly, “I do have something I’d like to ask Brother Wu about, but I don’t know if it’s convenient.”
Gu Wu said, "That depends on what Uncle Yun wants to know. If I can tell you, I will definitely tell you. If I can't tell you, please don't take offense, Uncle Yun." As he spoke, he led Yun Dazheng into the house.
Since these people came to protect Yunduo, the furnishings in the house were very simple. There was only a table and a few benches in the main room, and nothing else.
However, the house is quite spacious.
Gu Wu put his things on the table and said, "Uncle Yun, I'm sorry, we're just a bunch of roughnecks, so the place is a bit simple. Please make yourself at home." As he spoke, he poured Yun Dazheng a glass of water.
Yun Dazheng took the water glass but didn't drink from it. Instead, he casually placed it on the table and looked at Gu Wu, saying, "Brother Wu, don't be so polite. I won't be staying long. I'll just... get straight to the point. Is that alright?"
“Alright.” Gu Wu nodded and said, “I like to be straightforward, Uncle Yun, just say what you have to say.”
"Alright, then I'll get straight to the point." Yun Dazheng nodded and looked at Gu Wu, asking, "Brother Wu, may I ask you, is there some trouble with our Duo'er?"
"To be more precise, is it that after my daughter Duo'er is adopted by her parents, there will be some trouble?"
“This…” Gu Wu hesitated slightly.
"Can't I say?" Yun Dazheng asked, staring into Gu Wu's eyes.
“It’s not that I can’t say, but if I do, Miss will probably be unhappy,” Gu Wu replied.
Yun Dazheng said, "It's alright, I won't tell Duo'er. I just want to know why she, a little girl, needs ten of you to protect her. I've thought about it for a long time, and the more I think about it, the more uneasy and panicked I feel."
