"Uncle, I have failed in your great trust. The clues from Nurse Wang's side have been cut off."

Li Shen first apologized, and then told him everything that happened here.

On the other side of the phone, Butler Li didn't speak for a while.

After a while, he told him in a calm tone: "Since the clues have been cut off, clean up the traces that appeared before and bring the people back as soon as possible."

"Yes, thank you uncle."

Li Shen agreed guiltily, but after hanging up the phone, he felt even more uncomfortable.

The clues here were crucial to finding the real young master, but they were hastily cut off because of his negligence.

If the eldest young master can never be found, he will never be able to atone for his sins!

Thousands of miles away, the Zhan family's old home.

After Uncle Li hung up the phone, he turned around and stood in front of Mr. Zhan with his head bowed, his face full of guilt.

"Sir, the man I sent made a mistake this time. It is my responsibility. Please punish me."

The phone call from Li Shen just now was on speakerphone, and Mr. Zhan could hear every word he said clearly.

The only clue left back then was cut off, and Mr. Zhan felt very heavy.

But he knew that Li Bo and Li Shen could not be entirely blamed for this incident.

If the truth could be found out so easily, then this matter would not have been concealed for more than fifty years before clues came to light.

After all these years, Gu Jingdong has not been idle behind the scenes.

Mr. Zhan pondered for a moment and waved his hand: "Forget it, what happened more than fifty years ago, almost all the people back then were dead, so it's not so easy to find out. But there must be something wrong with Wang Xiuqin's death. Li Shen and I I have the same idea and don’t believe she committed suicide.”

"Someone else should have taken a step ahead of us and bribed Wang Xiuqin with money again to silence her. Therefore, [-]% of what Wang Xiuqin said is false and cannot be easily believed."

"Then do you think it was Gu Jingdong's people who did it?" Li Bo guessed.

Mr. Zhan shook his head: "No."

"Gu Jingdong has been arrested, and most of the power he held has been wiped out by the police and Mo Chen. Even if there are still people, they are definitely bent on fishing him out. It is impossible to spend so much energy on this small matter."

Uncle Li nodded suddenly: "You are right. As for the whereabouts of the eldest young master, do you think you should check the records of Haicheng's adoption of abandoned babies?"

"Of course I'll check."

However, Mr. Zhan feels that the focus should still be on the Gu family: "If what Wang Xiuqin said is false, then could it be that my son was actually taken away by Gu Jingdong? Gu Jingdong's son is very likely to be my biological son."

The more Mr. Zhan talked, the more he felt that this guess was correct.

He even remembered an old incident from that year.

He glanced at Uncle Li: "Old Li, do you still remember that a young man from the Gu family once came to our home as a guest, and many people said that he looked a bit like me?"

Uncle Li also remembered this incident and explained: "There is such a person, but he is a distant relative of the Gu family. He only came once and never appeared again."

"Then tell me, could he be my son?" Mr. Zhan's slightly cloudy eyes burst into sharp light, and he looked a little excited.

Then there was a hint of realization: "I now suspect that Gu Jingdong had a falling out with his family. It was also a drama between him and the Gu family. They were falling apart on the surface, but secretly they were working together to deal with our Zhan family!"

"This... is extremely possible!"

When Uncle Li followed Mr. Zhan's train of thought, he couldn't help but feel chills all over his body.

After Gu Jingdong had a falling out with his family, the Gu family scolded Gu Jingdong and came to express their stance to the Zhan family. They said they had driven Gu Jingdong out of the house and they could not ruin the friendship between the Zhan family and the Gu family for generations.

But in fact, the situation at that time was clearly that the Gu family was about to be completely defeated, and it was impossible to do without the support of the Zhan family.

Now that I think about it, the Gu family asked Gu Jingdong to play bad to vent his anger, and they played good to seek peace.

Because of the death of Gu's eldest son in the Zhan family, the old man felt guilty for the Gu family, so instead of breaking up with the Gu family, he actually helped support the rest of their family's business many times. The Gu family managed to survive without being destroyed. Kicked out of the ranks of aristocratic families.

The Gu family had moved away from Haicheng many years ago. They must have completely conspired with Gu Jingdong and made up their minds to deal with the Zhan family.

The more Bo Li thought about it, the more he felt that this matter could not be delayed.

He decisively suggested to Mr. Zhan: "Master, let's check the abandoned baby adoption records of that year and the Gu family at the same time. What do you think?"

"Well, let's do it this way. Count the Gu family two generations up from Gu Jingdong and four generations down, and investigate them all. No one can be spared!"

"Yes, I'll do it now!"

The master and servant quickly discussed it and ordered people to investigate again.

Although the Gu family had moved away, it was still a large family that had lived in Haicheng for decades with great prominence. It was not difficult to find news about the Gu family.

Coupled with the clues the police dug out from Gu Jingdong, the latest investigation report was delivered to Mr. Zhan's desk early the next morning.

"Gu Yuanhong?"

Mr. Zhan read the name, picked up the information, and looked at the photo carefully.

Soon, he found traces of his youth from the brows of the young man in the photo.

"Sure enough, it's him. He looks very similar to me. Really similar..."

Mr. Zhan stared at the photo, his hands shaking unconsciously, and the corners of his eyes gleaming with water.

He had been so close to his biological son and even talked to him face to face, but it was a pity that he didn't recognize him at all!

Uncle Li stood nearby, silently looking at the excited old man, and sighed deeply in his heart, without any hint of joy on his face.

The eldest young master has been found, but unfortunately...

Mr. Zhan eagerly flipped through the information and quickly clarified its contents.

Information shows that this young man who appeared in the Gu family in the name of a distant relative is indeed Gu Jingdong's "son."

He had lived in the Gu family for a long time. Not only did he know Zhan Junyuan, but he also had a good relationship with Ji Yanrong before he got married.

The only time he visited the Zhan family was when he was invited by Zhan Junyuan to attend a party with Ji Yanrong and others.

But after Zhan Junyuan and Ji Yanrong got married, he disappeared for a long time. The last time he appeared was in the fire where Zhan Junyuan and Ji Yanrong died.

"This, this..." Mr. Zhan suddenly realized something. His trembling hands suddenly froze. It seemed as if a big stone had been hit on his chest, and it became difficult to breathe.

The fire was so severe that three people died in the fire.

Two of them were the feuding couple Zhan Junyuan and Ji Yanrong, and the other one was unidentified.

His son and daughter-in-law were all killed overnight, and the scene was in chaos. He was so miserable that he didn't even notice who the other person was who lost his life.

Only now did he understand that the fire that year was not simple, and that the unidentified deceased was his biological son Gu Yuanhong!
  no no!
  The huge grief instantly tore Mr. Zhan's heart. He felt a sweetness in his throat and suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood.

The body fell straight to the side! (End of chapter)
