In fact, when people get older, how can they not yearn for a life of retirement and returning to the countryside?
However, not everyone can be so carefree, because many people have their own principles and beliefs.
For the country, for the people, or for family...
"Beiwang, you've never called me privately before. Stop beating around the bush, tell me, has something happened somewhere?"
It must be said that the people mentioned above are always sharp-witted and would never suddenly lose their minds.
"I...."
"What, are you hiding something? What's the big deal that's making you like this? Tell me, I'm really curious!"
The old man's voice came through the phone.
Gu Beiwang's brows furrowed so deeply they stood straight up.
The Gu family was aware of what happened to the Xi family back then, after all, the Xi family couldn't hide it from Old Master Gu's background.
Therefore, after Gu Beiwang saw the investigation report, he thought of many ways to tell the old man so that no accidents would happen.
The real culprit that the Xi family had been searching for for many years suddenly appeared. I'm really worried that Old Master Xi won't be able to accept it.
Clearly, only Mr. Xi can handle this matter.
That person's position is one level lower than Mr. Xi's.
Second only to the emperor, above all others.
If it were someone else, they really wouldn't be qualified to handle this matter. Even if they were, they would have to wait for all the judges to make their decisions before they could act.
In this case, the manpower, financial resources, material resources, and time wasted would be a huge waste.
Moreover, no one can guarantee that no unexpected situations will arise, and then all the work will have been for nothing.
"Sir, there's something I need to tell you."
"Oh? Tell me about it, don't worry!"
Gu Beiwang bit his lip: "Commander, do you still remember Scar?"
Oh.
How could I not remember?
Scarface was the culprit who started the fire, and also the indirect killer who caused the deaths of his only son and daughter-in-law.
No matter who else you forget, you can never forget this sworn enemy of the Xi family!
"Yes, I remember. What happened to him?"
Gu Beiwang was taken aback by Elder Xi's tone, then asked hesitantly, "Commander, you've already discovered the scar?"
On the phone, the old man sighed, "Yes, Xiaoyu found out."
"What? Xiaoyu? Isn't that...?"
Gu Beiwang knew that Xi Siyu was the only eyewitness to the normal fire, but the child was still young at the time, around three or four years old.
That incident must have left a deep scar on the child's mind!
Now....
"Xiaoyu is fine, don't worry. Tell me, what happened to Scar?"
Gu Beiwang felt slightly relieved. Now that Elder Xi knew about Scarface, he could finally get down to business. He had been worried that the old man wouldn't be able to handle the sudden news.
Clearly, the elderly person had taken precautions in advance.
After all, with the appearance of Scarface, anyone could guess who was behind it.
"Sir, my men have uncovered a crucial lead. You know the person behind Scarface, and you're quite familiar with him!"
In the office, a glint suddenly flashed in the old man's eyes: "Oh? I know him too?"
In fact, intelligent people can almost always guess some of the truth from this statement.
Not to mention wise old people like Mr. Xi.
Among the people I know, there are only a handful who have that kind of ability.
If we exclude people from both opposing camps, wouldn't the scope be reduced even further?
