“You saw his face?”
Gong Jie asked again. When Gu Jinglian heard this, he picked up the teacup and casually removed the lid. He took a sip and said calmly, “Yes, I did.” “What does he look like?
“I only saw him once. I can’t remember what he looks like.” Gu Jinglian answered truthfully, “Because that child is always wearing a cloak and a big hat. He has never shown his face to anyone.”
Gong Jie had heard so too.
Indeed. He had seen Gong Fan once before, but from a distance, he could see the boy’s back view as he boarded the ship. It was so familiar, but his face could not be seen. All he could see was that Gong Fan was wearing a wide fur coat that looked like a huge cloak with a haton. Hence, his true appearance was obscured.
In reality, not to mention outsiders, even the entire corporation had not seen what he really looked like.
It was rumored that anyone who saw his face would be shot to death on the spot. This was Gong Shaoying’s order. Hence, Gong Jie had always been suspicious of the reason for protecting the child to the extent that anyone who saw his face would not live.
Secretive to this extent?
He could not help thinking that something was fishy.
“You really don’t remember?
Gu Jinglian said coldly, “I don’t know how to draw a portrait and I can’t describe it properly. But if you have a photograph against which I can draw a comparison, it may ring a bell.”
The reason why he was so calm and composed was because Gong Jie’s attitude was not considered forceful. The Hurricane Group and the Gu family were not at odds with each other, but after what had happened, the Hurricane Group had violated Gu Jinglian’s interests. It would be hypocritical to say that he did not bear a grudge. Gu Jinglian was a man who bore grudges, and Gong Jie was an arrogant person who had never taken the Gu family seriously. However, for the sake of finding out the whereabouts of that child, this normally haughty man was now considerably reasonable in front of Gu Jinglian. This meant that the child was very important.
And Gu Jinglian was the only person who had seen that child and lived. To put it bluntly, he held the only clue.
Hearing this, Gong Jie immediately took out a pocket watch from his chest and opened it. Inside the pocket watch was a photo. He walked over and handed the pocket watch to Gu Jinglian, asking, “Take a look. Is it this child?
Gu Jinglian took the pocket watch. In the photo was a child who bore an innocent smile. He was smiling at the camera with his eyes narrowed, he looked pure and adorable.
“Yun Tianyou.” Indeed, he looked exactly like that child.
Gong Fan was Yun Tianyou?
It was a terrifying thought. Gu Jinglian smiled. “Didn’t I hear that this child disappeared in an accident? Rumor has it that he’s already dead!”
Gong Jie clenched his fists. “We can’t draw this conclusion without seeing the corpse!” “Yes, it’s hard to say if he’s dead or alive without seeing a corpse.”
Gu Jinglian snapped the pocket watch close and tossed it back to Gong Jie. He asked coldly, “What if I say that this child might not be dead?
Gong Jie was stunned. “You mean…”
“Young Master Jie, you’re here to see me because everyone who had seen that child is dead, including my subordinates.”
Even if it wasn’t Gong Fan’s order, these lives were still on him.
Gu Jinglian continued, “Whereas the Hurricane Group had nothing to do with the Gu family in the past, now they do. Hurricane Group has caused such a huge loss to the Gu family. How should we settle this score?”
Gong Jie retorted, “How do you want it settled?
