Just then, the bodyguard who had been there earlier was standing at the gate of the Gao family's courtyard and beckoned the man over.
"Young master, young mistress."
Gao Dan remained expressionless. This man had already guessed most of what was going on, so there was no need for him to act like his little wife.
Ye Wanying didn't care about all that: "Where's Gu Ziling?" she asked.
The bodyguards had just seen Gu Ziling and her group off. "The second young master is gone."
"They've left?"
"Yes, they've already left. They should be on the train in about ten minutes."
Ye Wanying's lips twitched:
Where did he go?
"H Province".
Did you run this far?
It seems things are not so simple after all!
Ye Wanying didn't ask any more questions and sent the bodyguard back, since she knew she wouldn't get any more information even if she did.
First, the bodyguard was unaware of this.
Secondly, even if the bodyguard knew, he wouldn't reveal it so easily.
The bodyguards of the Gu family, and the old man's personal bodyguards, are not just ordinary bodyguards. They are involved in many confidential missions.
Puzzled, the old man emerged from the Gao family home with his entourage, followed by Old Madam Gao, who clearly looked delighted.
"My dear in-law, why don't you stay for lunch?"
He tried to persuade her to stay.
The old man waved his hand:
"No need to trouble yourself, Madam Gao. Please make sure you get ready today. Someone will come to pick you up early tomorrow morning."
"Okay, okay."
Seeing this, Ye Wanying and Gao Dan exchanged a glance, and then walked towards the old man.
Grandma Gao, seeing the couple approaching, smiled broadly, her eyes and brows relaxing for once.
"Second son, you must take good care of the old man in the future."
What did my father say before he died?
Of the Gao family, the only ones who could still move Gao Dan, besides the deceased old man Gao, were... there was also Gao Cuicui, but unfortunately that girl brought about her own downfall.
When Granny Gao threatened him before, she clearly stated that Granny Gao had left a message before he died.
But for some reason, when she heard Gao Dan's question, Old Madam Gao's face became somewhat flustered.
So, what exactly did Old Goriot say at that time?
All eyes turned to the old lady.
"Your father...he...he..."
Actually, Old Man Gao didn't say anything else. When Old Man Gao died, Gao Dan was sixteen years old and hadn't left the Gao family yet.
Back then, every household was struggling to make ends meet, and there was even a famine.
Old Man Gao died with his last breath, after instructing Old Mrs. Gao to send Gao Dan back to the Gu family.
Although Grandma Gao verbally agreed, she didn't actually intend to do what the old man had said on his deathbed.
First, Old Man Gao never revealed any specific information about the Gu family, so Old Lady Gao only knew that the Gu family was a wealthy family.
Second, Old Mrs. Gao was unwilling to spend money to send Gao Dan to the capital.
Keep in mind that train tickets were never cheap back then.
Third, the old lady actually thought very far ahead in some ways. She always knew that the second son that the old man brought home was very capable, while her own two children were not very good. If they wanted to live a good life, they had to rely on this second son.
Therefore, after the old man died, Grandma Gao did nothing, and left all the housework to her second son.
At that time, Gao Dan was like a piece of livestock doing hard labor in the Gao family.
Fortunately, Gao Dan left the Gao family after only six months.
But little did they know, the Gu family was not just an ordinary wealthy family with a little money, but a prestigious and powerful family!
