Gu Chen's eyes were frighteningly calm as he began to rapidly review everyone in his family in his mind.
"Dad, Mom, Wanwan, I... and the housekeeper, Aunt Wang..."
He counted them one by one, and then eliminated them one by one.
Wang Ma had worked for the Gu family for over a decade, remaining utterly loyal, and she had never had the opportunity to access the core secrets.
