Liu He nodded as well, "The Governor’s Office is over there, if you need to go, hurry." He then had his men drive these people down the steps and closed the door.
The two families were at a loss, not knowing what to do next, other than cry without knowing what else to do.
Both Dan Shugen and Xun Gang watched with a degree of sympathy, yet they firmly remembered Gu Qingheng’s instructions to not breathe a word to anyone that Dan Jiabao was still alive; otherwise, they feared it would bring disaster.
Nevertheless, they still suggested going to the Governor’s Office to report the matter.
A group of people then set off towards the Governor’s Office.
In the shadows.
"Do you think it’s the Zhuang Family that has a problem, or is it that Manager Sun?" Gu Qingheng glanced at Yang Ruxin.
"Whoever has a problem, we’ll know once we investigate," Yang Ruxin’s eyes flickered with a hint of murderous intent, "My gut says neither are clean." She paused, "We also need to check out the county official; maybe..."
Gu Qingheng nodded, then suddenly gave a sly smile, "Shall we go have a look at the County Governor’s Office?"
"That was exactly my intention," Yang Ruxin nodded, "But, are you saying we go now, or in a couple of hours?"
"What do you think?" said Gu Qingheng as he took Yang Ruxin’s hand and followed behind those people.
Yang Ruxin also smiled slyly.
Wangjiang County is considered the largest and wealthiest among the seven counties of Linjiang Prefecture. You could tell just by looking at the gate tower of the County Governor’s Office. At the very least, it was taller and more grandiose than the one in Baihua County; even the varnish on the gates shone a bit brighter.
"Have you investigated the place beforehand?" she asked, sitting in a private room on the second floor of a teahouse next to the County Governor’s Office, the window of which directly faced the main gate.
"Xinxin, I’ve told you, I have people under me," Gu Qingheng chuckled.
"The people from Feiyang Dart Bureau?"
"If those people need to conceal their identities, they must find a livelihood, so the dart bureau is just a front..." Gu Qingheng glanced at Dan Shugen and others who were beating drums outside, "Among them are people my mother left to me, as well as people my master trained for me... If not for them, I couldn’t have broken out from the Gu Family and lived incognito for so many years... Initially, when I became lame and blind, I was disheartened and disbanded them, but unexpectedly..."
"It turns out they never disbanded..."
Gu Qingheng nodded, "They were waiting for me, for me to fulfill the promise I made when I first took charge of them, to lead them to some achievement... Ayao said that unless I am truly dead, they will always wait for me..."
"It’s a good thing you didn’t let them down," Yang Ruxin smiled.
"It’s all because of you; otherwise, I might have really disappointed them," Gu Qingheng held Yang Ruxin’s hand, "Make sure you carry the Flower Tree Order I gave you at all times. Apart from me, that’s the only thing that can mobilize them..."
"Actually, I have always been puzzled, why didn’t you seek out your maternal grandfather? And, it seems you haven’t contacted them in all these years... Also, who poisoned you?"
"The Shu Family has been a family of scholars for generations, always a symbol of integrity. Back then, my mother fell for Gu Sheng, and my grandfather was against it, but she insisted on marrying..." Gu Qingheng’s fist clenched unconsciously, "Gu Sheng rose through the ranks with the support of my grandfather’s influence..."
Xiaolun and Xiaoyin sensed the dangerous aura emanating from the man and felt unsafe on Yang Ruxin’s wrist, so they quickly shifted positions to circle around her ankle instead.
