Chapter 1005: Emerging from the Water

'm not doing this for you to be grateful," Gu Chi stepped closer to Cheng Ke Xin. "Ke Xin, I just want us to be closer, to work together. Isn't that good""No way!" Cheng KeXin took two steps back, cre...Linjia Gou Gu Ke Yu suddenly remembered, this mountain village was right next to their hometown!

"What else did you investigate Tell me quickly." Gu Ke'yu stood on the balcony, looking at the bustling traffic below, nervously waiting for the detective agency people to continue.

Zhang Shumei is forty-eight years old this year. Her husband's surname is Lin, and he is a butcher from the countryside. Their family life in the countryside is quite tight, and Zhang Shumei spends her days being lazy and gluttonous.

She didn't go out to work or farm to support her family. She liked to play mahjong at the village store and often gambled dice with people.

The couple had two children, a boy and a girl. However, their son drowned when he was twelve years old while swimming in a pond. Their daughter is now about twenty-one or twenty-two years old. Two months ago, she suddenly disappeared from the countryside without a trace. No one in the neighborhood knows where she went.

"Two months ago" Gu Ke'yu narrowed his eyes and repeated into the phone, this timing was too coincidental, wasn't there a huge conspiracy hidden behind all of this

"Yes, it was two months ago. She disappeared without a trace that day. After leaving the countryside, she never returned. And during our investigation, we also discovered something strange, which I think might be related to what Miss Gu wants to investigate."

"Well, I see," Gu Ke'yu listened to all the information the detective had gathered. Her mind was already forming a guess, and she trusted her intuition immensely, only waiting for confirmation.

The Detective Agency hesitated for a moment before continuing in its unhurried manner: "After Zhang Shumei's daughter disappeared two months ago, the neighbors were very worried, but she herself seemed as if nothing had happened. Their family was originally very poor in the countryside, but after this incident, their lives actually got better."

Even her usual poker game involved generous spending. She furnished their home with numerous luxury items and adorned herself with gold and silver jewelry. All of this was extremely out of character for their family.

After listening to the detectives finish their report, Gu Ke'yu became even more certain of her suspicions. She stood on the balcony, staring down at the street while continuing to listen to the conversation on the phone. Her mind raced as she started piecing together the clues.

"Our detective agency spent a long time inquiring around in the countryside. The neighbors could only speculate that Zhang Shumei might have sold her daughter elsewhere, thus striking it rich and living such a luxurious life now."

"Well, good. Your investigation has been very helpful to me. I think we can stop working now. I estimate that we have reached the end of this investigation. The remaining payment will be transferred to your account."

"Okay, Ms. Gu, thank you for your trust, and I look forward to continuing our cooperation in the future."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Ke'yu sat on the sofa and began to organize all the timelines.

Two months ago, Lu Yuzhan just announced that he had found the person he was looking for. This timing was too coincidental, making Gu Kexu couldn't help but think of Lin Yiy and Zhang Shumei as a mother-daughter relationship.

And shortly after Zhang Shumei's daughter disappeared, their family situation underwent a complete 360-degree transformation, which is simply inconceivable.

Gu Ke Yu half-leaned on the sofa, remembering when he passed that seldom-visited alley last time, the two of them seemed to be arguing about money.

And yesterday at the hospital, it was indeed Lin Yiyi who paid the medical expenses, and Zhang Shumei's affectionate "Yiyi" instantly pointed all suspicion in one direction: Lin Yiyi and Zhang Shumei were definitely mother and daughter.

Based on Gu Ke's understanding of Lu Yuanzhan, the woman he had liked when he was young must have been beautiful and charming, attracting attention with every smile and glance. It was absolutely impossible that she would be someone like Zhang Shumei, a country woman who had weathered hardships and had a bad reputation.

If Lin Yiyi really is the child Lu Yuanzhan was looking for, then there's only one possibility between her and Zhang Shumei, they wouldn't just be adoptive mother and daughter, would they

If Lin Yiyi is really the adopted child of Zhang Shumei's family, then she is very likely the one that Lu Yuanzhan is looking for. This matter doesn't benefit Gu Ke'yu at all.

However, this matter still needs to be verified. The detective agency could only find out so much. Gu Ke Yu thought about it and decided not to take risks himself. Instead, he might as well leave this matter to Lu Ji Yan to handle.

Since the previous incident with the props, Lu Jiayan had been secretly investigating Xie Qingqing and their affairs. However, what troubled him was that he hadn't caught any evidence. Now that Lin Yiyi relied heavily on Lu Jiayan, if they started from her side, there might be unexpected gains.

No matter what happened, Gu Ke Yu decided to make an appointment with Lu Ji Yan tomorrow to discuss things. Xiao Tang was very efficient and had the car back by the afternoon.

Xiaowen no longer needed to go to the studio like before, he had completely become Gu Ke'yu's personal assistant. Every day, he just accompanied her, wherever she went, he had to be by her side at all times.

Although if they really encounter something, these two women would probably be helpless, having one more person always means one more look out.

Because the family now had a car to arrange their own itineraries, Xiaotang was not as strict with Gu Kexu as before. After breakfast, she went to the hospital to look for Lu Jiayan.

“Just don’t come in. Wait for me in the car. I’ll be down in a while.” Gu Ke Yu opened the car door and got out, turning back to Xiaowen and instructing him, “After that, he clenched his bag tightly and stepped into the hospital lobby.

She originally thought she had to go to the ward in the morning to find Lu Jiayan, but unexpectedly saw him and Lin Yiyi's figures in the payment hall.

Lu Jiayan had his hands in his pockets, half-reclining against the wall. He kept glancing at his phone every now and then, giving Lin Yiyi not a shred of kindness.

He really did as he said before, keeping himself pure and innocent. Gu Ke'yu looked at him with great satisfaction, then took a step towards Lu Jiayan: "Lu Jiayan!"

The hospital was also filled with many family members in the morning. Gu Ke Yu's voice instantly attracted a lot of attention.

"Kexi, why did you suddenly come to the hospital today" Lu Jiayan raised his head and glanced at Gu Kexi, then his facial features relaxed, his eyes were full of softness, and he left the team and walked directly towards Gu Kexi. couldn't say anything more. She could only relent and agree, "Alright, later I'll see the situation and create an opportunity for you."Everyone's fate is their own choice. Since she insisted on being...
