Chapter 311 Maybe the bad guy is already dead
The next morning, Tongqian came to Qingchun Photo Studio and Gu Keai was standing outside the door waiting for her.
The copper coin ran up happily, "You're here early."
The two walked into the Youth Photo Studio hand in hand. Wang Lihua was packing up the store and preparing to close it for the New Year.
"It's almost holiday, right? Are you going home for the New Year?" Tongqian asked Wang Lihua.
"There's not many people at home, so I won't go back." Wang Lihua replied.
While packing things in his hands, he looked up at Gu Keai and asked, "Are you Gu Shaobei? I heard from your uncle that you are back."
Gu Keai didn't know how to address her, and replied awkwardly, "Yes, you are busy here."
"Well, I've been here for more than half a year." Wang Lihua said for fun.
Seeing that there was nothing to talk about, the two left the studio.
Gu Keai wanted to stick to Tongqian all the time, "Let's go to the Jade Garden, don't you have something to ask me?"
The two arrived at the house in Jade Garden, and Gu Keai let out a long sigh of relief, "I've quit smoking for two days, now I have a chance." As she said that, Gu Keai picked up the copper coin and turned around in circles in the living room.
Tongqian chuckled and looked at Gu Keai, whose eyes were full of her. "Put me down. I have something to ask you."
Gu Keai put her down solemnly and kissed her forehead. "Ask me, and I'll tell you everything."
"What is your relationship with Uncle Shen? The real relationship." Tongqian asked straight to the point.
Gu Keai looked at her eager eyes and pulled her to sit on the sofa, "We are a real uncle and niece relationship."
"Really? I felt like you two had the same temperament. Then why do you have different surnames?" Tongqian asked curiously.
Gu Keai straightened himself and sighed, "My last name is not Gu either. My original last name is Lan. My original name was Lan Zhenbei, and my uncle's name was Lan Jianzhou." Having said that, Gu Keai looked at the copper coin again.
"Our family is very prestigious in Northeast China. My parents are both state cadres. I have lived with my grandmother since I was a child. My grandparents are both forestry cadres and have no time to see me. That year they were preparing to bring me back to school. On the way home, we had a car accident. The car fell off a cliff. My parents died on the spot. My uncle held me in his arms and jumped out of the car. Fortunately, I survived." Gu Keai said this in a trance, with tears in her eyes.
Tongqian went to the washroom and took out a towel to wipe his tears, then hugged him again, "How old were you then?"
Gu Keai stared at the copper coin with red eyes, "I was seven years old at that time."
"Why do you have to hide your identity?" Tongqian still didn't understand.
"As more and more elderly people passed away, first my grandparents died within half a year, and then my grandmother became seriously ill. They couldn't bear the stress of sending off their loved ones, so my uncle took me to treat the elderly. On the way home one day, we found that our car had been tampered with. Someone must have been plotting against us."
Gu Keai recalled the past, her face still filled with fear.
"So hateful! Have you found out who wants to harm you?" Tongqian couldn't help but ask.
"No. My uncle found out that someone was trying to harm us, so he sent me to the home of a fellow villager in a neighboring city. He went back to deal with the matter. When my grandfather found out that my parents were murdered, he died of a cerebral hemorrhage in a rage. My grandmother was also ill and died soon after.
After my uncle finished the funeral for my grandparents, he found the villagers who raised me and asked them to take me back to their hometown and give them money every month. So I came to Yuanjia Village and took their surname.
My uncle also changed his name to Shen Yuan, which means to seek justice. And he vowed not to seek revenge or get married! "Gu Keai wiped away the tears that she had shed unconsciously again.
Tongqian was a little bit unbelievable when he heard this series of things. Is there such a sad and angry thing in reality? The evil person has not been found yet?
"Then after all these years, there has been no trace of the killer?" Tongqian asked in disbelief.
"My uncle had been looking there for the past few years and finally found a suspicious person, who was the then director of the Forestry Bureau. But later on, he could not be found. We searched the three northeastern provinces but could not find him." Gu Keai knew clearly how these things developed.
"So, you asked Uncle Shen to come here and stop looking for him?" Tongqian couldn't help but think of the reasons why Uncle Shen came here in the past two years.
"Yes, he should have a normal life too! He has been running around all these years and has spent ten years trying hard, but he still hasn't found the bad guy. Maybe the bad guy has already died." Gu Keai said hatefully.
