Chapter 128 He said in disbelief: It was him?
Su Niannian agreed and was led to the bathroom by Gu Yuheng to take a bath. These days, Gu Yuheng has been personally bathing Su Niannian.
As the months progressed, Su Niannian's movements began to become clumsy.
It walks like a little penguin, and you can't even see its toes.
Gu Yuheng was afraid that something might happen, so he dared not let her take a bath by herself in the wet bathroom anymore.
Even though Su Niannian said she could do it herself.
But Gu Yuheng was still worried.
At first, Su Niannian was very embarrassed.
Even though they were already husband and wife, and had done the most intimate things.
Naked and facing the tall man, she still couldn't help but clutch the edge of the towel tightly, her face flushed as she wanted to hide in the foam.
But Gu Yuheng's gaze was calm, without a trace of lust in it.
It really was just giving my wife a bath.
Gradually, Su Niannian also lowered her guard.
After taking a shower, Gu Yuheng carefully dried Su Niannian's long, black hair before carrying the sweet and soft little baby out of the bathroom.
The little girl's cheeks were rosy as he placed her on the big bed, then covered her with a fluffy quilt.
Gu Yuheng tucked the blanket around her: "Baby, you rest first, I'm going to the study to deal with some documents."
Su Niannian knew his work was very demanding and felt sorry for him having to work so late, so she gave him some advice.
"Ah Heng, don't work too late. If you're tired, come back and rest."
Gu Yuheng leaned down and kissed her forehead: "Yes, Madam Gu."
Su Niannian raised the corners of her lips at him: "Mr. Gu, you should pay attention to the balance between work and rest."

Gu Yuheng walked out of the bedroom and gently closed the door.
Aunt Chen had just finished her chores downstairs when she saw him come out of his room. She assumed he hadn't eaten much for dinner and was hungry again.
"Young master, would you like some late-night snacks?"
Gu Yuheng stopped and said to Aunt Chen, "No need, Aunt Chen, it's late, you should go and rest too."
Aunt Chen worked for the Gu family her whole life, and he never treated her as a servant; he always treated her with great respect.
"Yes, young master," Aunt Chen replied, turning to walk towards her room.
After Aunt Chen left, Gu Yuheng also stepped into the study.
He walked behind the desk and sat down.
On the table in front of him were the documents that Gao Xiu had given him that evening.
It was sent by Shen Li; it's a list of guests for all of Madam Shen's birthday celebrations over the years.
"I didn't expect Shen Li to be so fast."
He pinched his brow with his long, slender fingers, sat up straight, and reached out to open the page.
The list that Shen Li sent was very detailed, starting from the time when Madam Shen began preparing for her sixtieth birthday and continuing all the way to this year's birthday celebration.
Gu Yuheng already had a plan in mind.
He wanted this list to confirm which members of the Xie family had attended the birthday celebration seventeen years ago.
So I skipped the previous part and went straight to the record from seventeen years ago.
The Shen family was a prominent clan, so naturally there were many guests attending. However, the records of large families follow a set pattern and are based on the family's established rules.
Gu Yuheng patiently turned a few pages.
Amidst a rustling sound.
The guest list for the Xie family has been found.
The records are very detailed, even including those of children as young as a few years old.
To avoid offending the guests, the names were recorded according to the order of family status.
Old Master Xie didn't go. The first person you see is Xie Shen, followed by the teacher's family.
There are other collateral branches of the Xie family below.
According to Su Niannian's dream, there was a man and a woman secretly talking in a secluded room.
Then, Niannian, who had gotten lost while chasing after the puppy, overheard this.
The man was afraid that Niannian would reveal his secret.
So she had someone hypnotize Niannian and then encouraged Shen Qingbei to abduct her, causing Su Niannian to completely lose contact with her family.
He had been hiding behind the scenes, allowing Shen Qingbei to attract everyone's attention. Therefore, everyone believed that Shen Qingbei was kidnapped because of a fierce argument with Xie Siyan.
But the truth is they were misled.
If these assumptions hold true, then this person must be on this list.
Gu Yuheng's sharp gaze swept over it, as penetrating as that of a hawk.
He pondered silently.
After a long while, clean fingertips landed on a certain name, tapping it thoughtfully.
He picked up his phone and made a call.
Not long after.
There was a knock on the door.
Then a man in black pushed the door open and came in.
The man was dressed in a black, tight-fitting outfit. His muscles were so solid that they easily stretched the fabric of his clothes, and he was exceptionally tall.
"Yuheng, what brings you here so late?"
Gu Yuheng looked at the newcomer and gestured for him to sit down.
"Bai He, I would like to ask you to help me investigate someone."
Shen Baihe waved his hand: "Yuheng, with your abilities, do you really need me to investigate for you? In the Shen family, I am just an unloved illegitimate child. I have no power whatsoever except for eating, drinking and having fun. Have you come to the wrong person?"
Gu Yuheng's expression remained unchanged: "What if it's this person?"
Gu Yuheng pushed the list in front of him, his finger slowly landing on a certain name.
Shen Baihe asked in confusion, "What is his relationship with me? Why do I need to investigate him?"
Gu Yuheng slowly said, "He is very likely the man Madam Shen had an affair with, and he is Shen Qingbei's biological father. Moreover, you were a reconnaissance soldier in the special forces, and your counter-surveillance ability is in no way inferior to my bodyguard."
Shen Baihe's expression changed drastically: "Xie Shen is Shen Qingbei's biological father?"
-----
In a secluded cellar on the outskirts of the city.
It was dark inside all day and filled with a pungent, putrid smell.
Shen Qingbei's gunshot wound on his leg had not fully healed, and he walked with a slight limp, hobbling down the stone-paved stairs.
After he stepped down the last step, he reached out and opened the cellar door.
A ray of light suddenly appeared in the darkness that had isolated the world from all.
The disheveled man inside squinted slightly, looking uncomfortably at Shen Qingbei standing by the door.
