Chapter 4 – Can You Find It?
Looking at the ragged woman in front of him, Gu Yu examined her carefully, only to find that he couldn’t tell who she was.
However, Gu Yu couldn’t be blamed for this.
The woman was simply too disheveled. Besides the patched clothes she was wearing, her hair, resembling a bird’s nest, was messily piled on her head, mixed with straw and dirt.
Her face was also black, making it impossible to discern her original appearance.
Seeing this, Gu Yu immediately took his wife a few steps back, fearing she might lunge at them.
Fortunately, upon seeing Gu Yu, the woman only put on a dazed expression and made no further moves.
“Yu, do you know her?”
“No!”
When Gu Mengyao saw the woman, she also had a confused expression, not knowing who she was.
Why did she know Gu Yu?
It wasn’t that Gu Mengyao was suddenly jealous, but she was curious about the woman’s purpose.
Her little husband was not someone who could be bullied casually.
If anyone dared to target him, the consequences would be extremely severe!
“Eldest Sister, I think this woman looks very familiar. She must be someone we know!”
“Qingheng, do you have any impression?”
“Hmm, let me think… Eh, isn’t this Jiaojiao Yang? I remember Jiaojiao Yang had two ear piercings on her left ear. The old ones had closed up, so she got new ones!”
“Jiaojiao Yang…”
In the end, it was Gu Qingheng who remembered who the woman was.
When Gu Yu heard that it was Jiaojiao Yang, he was greatly surprised, not expecting Jiaojiao Yang to have become like this.
Although the Yang family wasn’t considered rich, they doted on their youngest daughter, Jiaojiao Yang.
Especially Madam Li, she loved this daughter to the core, wishing she could pluck the stars and the moon to give to her.
Therefore, since Jiaojiao Yang was born, she had never lacked for food or clothing. How could she have ended up like this?
What about Old Man Yang and Madam Li?
Even though they treated Gu Yu’s cheap father very poorly, they wouldn’t just stand by and watch their daughter become like this!
“Gu Yu, you must avenge the Yang family! They killed all the Yang family members… it’s all because of you, they came for you! You must kill them to be safe!”
Upon hearing Gu Qingheng’s words, Jiaojiao Yang also spoke at this moment.
What she said astonished all three members of the Gu family.
How could the Yang family have been annihilated just by a trip to the Capital?
“What does the annihilation of the Yang family have to do with me! Jiaojiao Yang, you know the past between the Yang family and me, yet you have the nerve to come and beg me? Get out of my sight immediately, or don’t blame me for being impolite.”
However, the surprise lasted only a few seconds.
Immediately, Gu Yu, looking at the pathetic Jiaojiao Yang, spoke words that made her eyes widen in shock.
It seemed she hadn’t expected Gu Yu to be so cold-blooded after the Yang family’s misfortune.
Even if Gu Yu wasn’t of the Yang family’s bloodline, he had lived with the Yang family, after all!
Now, hearing the news of the Yang family’s annihilation, why was he so calm, as if it were someone else’s business!
Too cold-blooded!
“Gu Yu, the Yang family raised you for so many years. Even a dog would develop feelings after being raised for so long, why are you so heartless! If it’s because the Yang family treated you badly before, I’m kneeling down for you now! Please, avenge the Yang family! You have the ability, you can definitely kill them! Let Mengyao Gu do it, she’s a big official now, killing people isn’t illegal!”
Listening to the words coming from Jiaojiao Yang’s mouth, Gu Yu’s eyes grew colder.
He figured that Jiaojiao Yang had already planned this out.
Was she just here to inform him?
How could she be so shameless!
Given what the Old Yang family had done to him, Gu Yu felt it was good enough that he hadn’t taken action himself. Before, he had only driven them out of the village because he didn’t want to see them and be bothered.
Now that they’d been annihilated, they expected him to help them.
Did they think they could find help?
Moreover, she had implicated his wife.
If he were to help the Yang family avenge themselves, not in this lifetime, but even in the next few lifetimes, it wouldn’t happen.
“Jiaojiao Yang, I’m warning you, get lost now! What happens to the Yang family has nothing to do with me. If you don’t want to be thrown into the county prison, don’t appear before me again… Help the Yang family avenge? To tell you the truth, I’m very happy that the people of the Yang family are dead. How come you’re not dead?”
“Gu Yu! Those people were looking for you. They asked my father what chess piece they wanted, it’s all because of you! To think you would say that, truly…”
“Stop talking so much nonsense, are you leaving or not?”
Gu Yu didn’t want to argue with Jiaojiao Yang any further. Since he had already severed ties with the Old Yang family, he didn’t want any more involvement with anyone from the Yang family.
Even if only Jiaojiao Yang remained of the Yang family, Gu Yu felt no sympathy.
Gu Yu wouldn’t feel sympathy for anyone from the Old Yang family.
They didn’t deserve sympathy.
“Gu Yu, we’re still on the street, you wouldn’t dare to do anything to me…”
However, Jiaojiao Yang didn’t seem to intend to let Gu Yu leave easily.
As she spoke, a venomous look flickered in her eyes, and she even looked like she wanted to pounce.
This made Gu Yu let out a cold laugh, then he raised his hand and sprinkled some medicinal powder.
In the next second, Jiaojiao Yang directly fainted and fell to the ground.
Gu Yu then continued forward with Gu Mengyao and her brother, completely ignoring the fainted Jiaojiao Yang.
He had already said what he had to say.
It was Jiaojiao Yang who courted death herself.
If it weren’t for the people on the street, Gu Yu would have killed Jiaojiao Yang directly.
It would have been a complete solution.
“Brother-in-law, what exactly was Jiaojiao Yang talking about just now?”
“Do you remember the Royal Support Squad?”
“Yes.”
“The Royal Support Squad initially sought out someone else, not Zhou Li, but me… It’s likely they found clues from the Yang family, proving that my father was a Prince living in seclusion, and that’s why they came looking for me.”
“Then the Yang family…”
“The best way to silence people is to kill them.”
As they walked towards the Academy, Gu Qingheng couldn’t suppress his curiosity and asked Gu Yu about the Yang family’s affairs.
Gu Mengyao, standing beside them, also cast a curious gaze.
Gu Mengyao and her brother felt no sympathy for the annihilation of the Yang family.
The Old Yang family had done too many bad things before, making it impossible for them to feel any pity.
If Gu Yu hadn’t transmigrated, they might still be bullied by the Old Yang family now!
As for asking Gu Yu about it… although Gu Yu had only just found out, Gu Qingheng believed that his intelligent brother-in-law had surely figured out the reason.
As it turned out, Gu Yu did know.
Or rather, it wasn’t difficult to guess.
After the appearance of the Royal Support Squad, Gu Yu vaguely suspected it was related to the Old Yang family.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have directly called him “Young Master.”
