Chapter 126: Visiting the Gu Family

Lo Xing's mind went almost blank for a moment, then his scalp tingled sharply as a sense of foreboding washed over him.

In his urgency, Lo Xing didn’t even change his shoes—still wearing his fluffy slippers and pajamas, he grabbed a coat from the rack and rushed out.

The camel-colored coat belonged to Ms. Jiang, but at this moment, Lo Xing had no time to care about such details.

“Hurry and go check. Even if she’s over there, she wouldn’t just ignore my calls,” Luo Zhuo urged anxiously. “Send me the address. I’ll go with you.”

Lo Xing nodded hurriedly.

Luo Zhuo didn’t know what had happened to their grandmother earlier, but Lo Xing did.

“I’ve sent it to you.” After sending the message, Lo Xing hung up and began calling their grandmother incessantly.

But the calls never connected.

Lo Xing then dialed Gu Shiyan's number.

“So soon? You want to...” The voice on the other end sounded pleased.

But Lo Xing’s voice was anxious. “Can you please go to Tiandihua and see if my grandmother is there?”

The Gu patriarch’s estate had been sealed off since his passing.

Only Assistant Song and Gu Yunzhi had permission to enter.

Gu Shiyan immediately sensed something was wrong from Lo Xing’s voice and tried to reassure him. “I understand. Don’t worry. Tell me what’s going on.”

Lo Xing’s voice trembled with a hint of tears. “Brother, I’ve been calling Grandma, but no one picks up. I can’t get through, and neither can you. The last time Grandma was kidnapped, the phone was unreachable too.”

Though her trembling, tearful voice was fragmented, Gu Shiyan understood her meaning.

“I’m already on my way. I’ll be there in twenty minutes at most. I’ll tell you first thing when I arrive. Don’t worry — maybe Grandma just forgot to charge her phone or couldn’t find it.”

“I’m on my way too, but it’ll take me longer...”

Lo Xing gazed at the fleeting scenery outside the window, but there was no joy in his heart. “Driver, can you please speed up?”

“Lo Xing, I’ve called Assistant Song to help look for her.”

Lo Xing nodded anxiously, realizing he was still on the phone, so he gave a brief affirmative sound.

Gu Shiyan gripped the steering wheel tightly.

They sped rapidly toward the Tiandihua estate.

However, the security guards blocked the entrance. “This is a private residence. No one is allowed in without permission.”

The guards knew this young man was the grandson of the estate owner, but the patriarch had said before he died that only Assistant Song and Gu Yunzhi had access. Not even his own sons or grandsons could enter.

Gu Shiyan ignored the guards and tried to push inside.

“Master Gu, you really can’t go in. We have several eyes watching here!” the guards warned, trying to stop him.

More people arrived behind.

Gu Shiyan looked over and saw another person trying to rush in recklessly.

“No entry!”

Gu Shiyan heard the guard shout again and glanced over.

It was the guy from the dessert shop.

What was he doing here?

Gu Shiyan frowned. “What are you doing here?”

For a moment, his mind was in turmoil.

Could it be that Lo Xing had sent him?

Would Lo Xing tell him about this right away and ask him to come?

His thoughts whirled uncontrollably, and his gaze was anything but friendly.

Luo Zhuo felt bewildered. “What does it have to do with you that I came here? Don’t think that just because you dated Xing for a while, I...”

Gu Shiyan glared fiercely. “I will win her back.”

Luo Zhuo raised an eyebrow. “You dare say that in front of me? As if I don’t exist?”

Luo Zhuo was speechless and furious inwardly. Who did this guy think he was? Did he really believe he could win her back just by saying so?

His sister deserved nothing but the best in this world.

Gu Shiyan’s eyes reddened. This guy was clearly showing off, flaunting his special relationship with Lo Xing.

He suppressed the frustration burning inside.

He told himself that as long as Lo Xing hadn’t rejected him outright, he still had a chance.

Who knew if this man was secretly trying to steal Lo Xing from him while they were together?

“Let me in,” Luo Zhuo said without meeting Gu Shiyan’s gaze, turning to the guard to explain his situation.

“Is there someone named Gu Yunzhi inside? That’s my grandmother,” Luo Zhuo said.

Gu Shiyan walked over. “Your grandmother?”

Luo Zhuo rolled his eyes dramatically. “Do you think she’s yours?”

Gu Shiyan looked stunned. “You—you’ve met the parents.”

Luo Zhuo frowned. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

“They won’t let you in. Even if Gu Yunzhi is your grandmother, you can’t enter. Not even the old man’s own sons are allowed.”

“What are you saying? What’s your name?” Luo Zhuo was curious that this person called Grandma “Gu Grandma.”

“Are you a relative of this family?” Luo Zhuo could only think of this possibility.

He never imagined Gu Shiyan was the actual grandson of this household. After all, what grandson wouldn’t be allowed into his own estate?

“Master!” Assistant Song opened the car door.

The guards became alert, sensing something was wrong. “Assistant Song, these two want to get in, but I didn’t let...”

Assistant Song gave Gu Shiyan a long look. “You can’t go in. Let me go instead.”

“You’re alone, searching such a large estate? Let me in.” Gu Shiyan had been calling Gu Grandma repeatedly without success.

A bad feeling gnawed at him.

“But...” Assistant Song pulled Gu Shiyan back. “You can’t go in. Several people are watching you. If you go in...”

“I’m not afraid. Let them watch. I’m going in to find her.” Gu Shiyan’s tone was casual but resolute.

Assistant Song pursed his lips but held back from telling him the truth.

Gu Shiyan forced his way inside.

Assistant Song stayed outside, helplessly watching his retreating figure.

The estate held many belongings of the late patriarch. The lockdown was to prevent the sons and grandsons from fighting over the inheritance.

But more importantly, it was to protect this person.

The second will was inside.

“If he can go in, then so can I,” Luo Zhuo said anxiously.

Assistant Song shook his head. “Sorry, you can’t go in. If you don’t want to be sued into bankruptcy, please stay outside.”

“Why not? Then why can he go in?” Luo Zhuo grabbed Assistant Song’s arm. “My grandmother is inside.”

Only then did Assistant Song realize this man was the second young lady’s grandson.

His previously stern expression softened. “Sorry, you really can’t enter. I’m going in now to help look for her. If you keep holding me back, it will only delay things. The estate is huge. If you want her found quickly, you should let me go in.”

Hearing that holding him back would only waste time, Luo Zhuo immediately released his grip.
