For a long while, Gu Qiaoqiao seemed to recover from her emotions, her heart having been prepared, nothing was sudden to her.
However, what puzzled her was the attitude of Old Patriarch; did he know something, or did he know nothing at all?
The old man was extremely cunning.
He wouldn't utter a single word that he shouldn't.
She asked Qin Yize, "Do you think this photo was taken by someone Old Patriarch sent?"
"Definitely not," Qin Yize said nonchalantly.
"Why?"
"If this photo really was taken by someone from Elder Gu, they wouldn't have waited until today to find you. Or perhaps to put it this way, what father doesn't recognize his own son? So, the moment he saw this photo, he would have known who it was, and then he would have rushed to Stone Town..."
"You mean this photo was given to him by someone else?"
"Hmm."
"Gu Cheng, Ning Wanru?"
"Hmm." He nodded gently.
