Yu Shuo didn’t have time to check on his father and said directly, "Dad, Uncle wants to talk to you."

As Yu Shuo handed over the phone, Qiu Qianghai took it, his voice hoarse, "Brother-in-law, I’ve heard that you have some friends in the local gray areas of Nanmian Country, and I want to borrow them to deal with some matters."

The people over in Nanmian are ruthless, and almost everyone has one foot in the gray areas, walking on the edge of danger.

Yu Qingli did not immediately agree but asked quietly, "Xiao Hai, what happened?"

Just from his brother-in-law’s voice, he sensed something was off.

Qiu Qianghai’s voice was choked with emotion, "Brother-in-law, my life was lost there, I need to find her."

Gu Minmin was his life.

Their relationship hadn’t started before she left him, how cruel!

He knew Nanmian Country, where most of the people were uneducated and ruthless.

Previously, Hong Fei said Minmin sacrificed herself there, with an incomplete body.

He wanted to go there to see, to find traces of the place his beloved girl stayed, he couldn’t accept doing nothing.

For the first time, Yu Qingli was pleaded with so desperately by Qiu Qianghai, even though something was wrong with him, he still nodded in agreement.

But there was a condition, Yu Shuo had to accompany him, otherwise, he wouldn’t be at ease.

...

An Mingji was still holding Gu Jin, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Their gazes were fixed on the distant view outside the window.

"Knock, knock—"

The warmth between them was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Master?"

The voice outside was Yu Shuo’s.

An Mingji released his arms and gently patted Gu Jin’s shoulder, "I’ll get the door."

He stepped towards the door and opened it.

Yu Shuo stood outside the door, and seeing An Mingji in the master’s room, wasn’t too surprised.

He looked past the young man to see Gu Jin standing by the floor-to-ceiling window inside.

"Master, I, Hanyi, and Uncle are leaving first."

"It’s not even light yet, where are you going?" Gu Jin stepped forward and asked.

Yu Shuo didn’t hide it either, "Uncle wants to go to Nanmian Country, my father has already arranged people, Hanyi and I will accompany him."

"..." Gu Jin’s eyes were filled with heaviness.

That place was where Gu Minmin lost her life.

Remembering Brother Hai’s previous state, she realized his feelings for Minmin weren’t shallow.

The first thing he chose to do upon awakening was to go to where Minmin sacrificed herself, she could understand that.

"Be careful on your way, and call if there’s anything."

"Got it, then we’ll leave now."

"Go ahead—"

Before dawn, Yu Shuo, Jiang Hanyi, and Qiu Qianghai left.

On the first floor, in the guest room.

Gu Jiajie was alone in the room, sitting on the floor leaning against the bed, tightly holding the urn in his arms.

When Gu Jin and An Mingji walked into the room, he didn’t even glance up, as if immersed in his own world.

Seeing his dazed expression, his eyes filled with sorrow, the two couldn’t comfort him with words, only sitting in the room accompanying him.

Outside the window, the sky gradually brightened.

The dawn was breaking.

A new day begins, symbolizing fresh hope.

In the guest room.

An Mingji and Gu Jin continued to sit on the sofa in the room, watching as the sky slowly lit up.

Gu Jiajie was just as he was when they entered the room, maintaining a pose, staring blankly at one spot.

He had been like this for nearly two hours, motionless like a statue.

In the quiet room, a phone rang.

An Mingji took out his phone and saw it was a call from Allen.

He set it to silent and told Gu Jin beside him, "I’ll take a call, be back soon."
