747: A Threat Would Always be a Threat (3)

A Threat Would Always be a Threat (3)

Zhang Xiaohui was glad about what she did back then.2

It was a rare opportunity, and she did it on impulse. It was the best decision she had made in her life.

She and her daughter had nothing, and it was too difficult for two women to survive. They wanted to go to the northern area, but she could not even afford the train tickets.

Eventually, they found a man who was willing to take care of them. After so many years, the free era arrived, and they finally found the chance to come to the capital.

Gu Qingyao frowned. They were here to look for someone?

And they would be rich after finding the person?

When did Zhang Xiaohui know such a powerful person in the capital?

It was impossible.

Based on Zhang Xiaohui's personality, if she knew such a person, she would be showing off to everyone. How could she keep it a secret?

Or she met the person after she left their hometown?

It was not possible for her to know the person after leaving their hometown. The two of them would definitely stick to the person. They would not have to come to the capital to look for the person now.

Gu Qingyao followed them for a while, but Zhang Xiaohui did not say who the person was. Gu Ruoqing asked a few times, but Zhang Xiaohui still kept silent.

The sky was getting darker, and Gu Qingyao did not follow them anymore. She headed home.

After she reached home, everyone else had finished their dinner. They thought that she must have had her dinner at Jiang Yingqiu's place since she was back so late.

Gu Qingyao just said that she had eaten and went upstairs.

She met Gu Jinhang who was holding a cup of coffee in the second level corridor.

Gu Qingyao frowned, "Second Cousin, why are you drinking coffee at this time? Aren't you planning to sleep tonight?"

Gu Jinhang took a glimpse at the coffee in his hand and said, "No choice. I have many things to deal with later. The coffee can help me stay awake; it's really effective."

The coffee was brought back by Gu Qingyao from overseas. There was coffee sold within the country but not of good quality. Most people in the Gu family still preferred tea over coffee, so there was not much coffee at home.

Gu Jinhang noticed something different about her sister and asked, "What happened? Where is Mo Beihan? Didn't he send you back?"

Gu Qingyao said, "Brother Beihan still has things to settle, so he left earlier. I…"

Gu Qingyao contemplated for a while and decided to tell everything to her second brother. She pulled him into his study and closed the door, "Second Brother, I have something to tell you. I met Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing today."

Gu Jinhang was stunned for a while.

"They… They're still alive?"

Gu Qingyao: "…"

Apparently, everyone thought that they could not survive in this kind of situation back then after they escaped.

Gu Qingyao continued, "Not only have they survived, but they also seem to be living a good life. They appeared a bit pathetic, but I guess it's due to their first arrival in the capital. But the clothes they were wearing were much better than what normal people could own."

Gu Jinhang: "…"

"It was right that kind people always had a shorter lifespan, but a threat would always be a threat!"

Gu Qingyao: "…"

His reaction was exactly the same as hers.

"Second Cousin, I heard that they were here to look for someone. Zhang Xiaohui kept mentioning that as long as they managed to find that person, they would live a rich life. She seemed very determined about that. However, I followed them for quite a while but did not hear who the person was. Gu Ruoqing didn't seem to know either. She asked a few times, but Zhang Xiaohui refused to tell her."

Gu Jinhang frowned, "Both of them are threats to society. Don't worry. I will find someone to keep an eye on them. Don't be afraid!"

Gu Qingyao was startled, "Why would I be afraid? I'm just curious, how would they know someone so powerful?"
