Seeing Lu Jun frowning and looking clueless, Wen Guoer knew that he didn't know.
She also knew that a man of Mr. Wu's status would never reveal his whereabouts so easily.
"I remember!" Lu Jun's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at her with burning eyes.
"One of the men that Master Wu sent to liaise with us accidentally let slip some information.
He said that Master Wu had a blind mother who lived in Kyoto! Master Wu was very filial to this mother and said that he bought a large courtyard with seven entrances for her to live in near the Imperial City.
Wen Guoer's eyes flashed after hearing this. The imperial city wall, the seventh courtyard, and the blind mother, these key pieces of information combined together would make the search much easier.
Because Su Xing's matter this time involved speculation and backstabbing, it was not convenient for her to let the old man and father come forward.
He secretly sorted out his connections in Kyoto in his mind.
Although I've met some people during this time, it seems like there aren't any who have the ability in this area...
"That's right!" She suddenly remembered that on the day of her adoption, Grandpa Zhou had said that his eldest son worked in the public security department in Kyoto.
With an idea in mind, she quickly walked to the phone and dialed Mr. Zhou's number:
"Who are you?" Old Master Zhou's impatient voice came from the opposite side.
Wen Guoer was so shocked by the sound that she moved the phone behind her ear: "Grandpa Zhou, it's Guoer. From the sound of your voice, you seem to be in good health!"
"Oh, it's Guo'er! You finally remembered, little girl, that you have a godfather~" After scolding, Grandpa Zhou smiled brightly, "Tell me, what do you want to talk to Grandpa Zhou about?"
"Grandpa Zhou is truly far-sighted. You've already guessed what I want before I even opened my mouth!"
Wen Guoer complimented and joked for a while, then spoke seriously, "I heard Grandpa Zhou mention last time that Uncle Zhou works in the public security department. Guoer wants Uncle Zhou to help find someone. I wonder if Uncle Zhou is available?"
"Grandpa, what's the big deal? What's convenient about this? He does this for a living! Just call that guy. If he doesn't do it for you, come back and see how I'll deal with him!"
After Mr. Zhou finished speaking, he readily gave her the phone number of his eldest son's workplace, and reminded her to come home for dinner if she had time. After a few more words, he hung up the phone.
Wen Guoer felt that it would be inappropriate to just call and ask for help from an elder. She asked for Uncle Zhou's office address over the phone and went to the Municipal Public Security Bureau with Lu Jun.
"Hello, I'm looking for Zhou Beian." Wen Guoer said to the female police officer who stopped her.
The female police officer looked her up and down and was surprised that a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old would call the chief by his name.
"What do you want from Director Zhou?"
"Director Zhou?" Wen Guo'er hadn't expected Uncle Zhou to be the director of the Kyoto Public Security Bureau! She couldn't help but think: For such a trivial matter as finding someone, using the director of the Kyoto Public Security Bureau was indeed a bit of a waste of talent!
"I just spoke to him on the phone and agreed to come see him."
Hearing this, the female police officer looked at her twice more. Since he could directly communicate with Director Zhou on the phone, it seemed that the other party must be of an extraordinary identity.
He stood up and personally took them to Director Zhou's office.
"You are Guo'er, come and sit down! Uncle Zhou didn't prepare any gifts for you when he met you for the first time, but I will make it up to you next time." Zhou Beian pointed to the stool opposite with a friendly look on his face.
"I came here to ask Uncle Zhou for a favor. It's ok that I didn't bring any gifts, but how can I accept any gifts from Uncle Zhou?" Wen Guoer felt a little embarrassed.
"Even if you bring it, uncle can't make a mistake, right?" Zhou Beian joked with a smile, "What's the matter? Tell me, and I'll definitely help if I can!"
The old man seldom contacts him, but he just called him specifically and repeatedly reminded him to take good care of the matter of his godson. He still has to respect the old man's words.
Wen Guoer clearly told Zhou Beian the person she was looking for. She didn't mention their relationship with her. If the police got involved in her third brother's affairs, it would be difficult to resolve.
"It's not difficult to find a solution. Let the police in that area investigate. There should be a result soon." Zhou Beian called the police station in the area in front of her.
Sure enough, within ten minutes, the other party sent back a message, and Zhou Beian gave her an address.
After Wen Guoer thanked him, she and Lu Jun ran towards the address together.
It really is a magnificent mansion! It looks like it was once the residence of a royal prince.
The threshold is high, with nine steps leading up. On both sides of the gatehouse with carved beams and painted rafters are two majestically squatting stone lions.
Lu Jun stepped forward and knocked on the copper ring with an animal face on the vermilion lacquered gate.
After a while, there was a noise from inside. A woman in her thirties opened the door and looked at the two men suspiciously: "Who are you looking for?"
"Excuse me, does Mr. Wu live here?" Wen Guoer asked respectfully in a soft tone.
"You've come to the wrong place. He doesn't live here!" After hearing this, the woman turned around and was about to close the door.
Seeing this, Lu Jun stepped forward to hold the door closed and said urgently, "We are not looking for Master Wu, we are looking for his mother, Old Madam Wu."
Seeing the door was blocked, the woman glanced at the two men again. Seeing that they didn't seem to be looking for trouble, she said, "Wait a moment, then. I'll go ask the old lady what she thinks."
"With such a big yard, it will probably take a long time to walk to the old lady, right?" After the woman left, Lu Jun looked around at the surrounding walls and sighed.
Wen Guoer was secretly amazed at the scene!
During this period, he could still own such a large mansion so ostentatiously, not to mention, he also controlled the black markets in several major cities!
Mr. Wu’s identity is very unusual!
