When the man at the door saw that it was a teenage girl who opened the door, he was slightly stunned.

Just as he wondered if he had found the wrong door, he saw the woman in the courtyard who was looking for a place to hide.

His expression changed as he ran in with large strides. He grabbed her wrist and said sternly, “You’re really here. You really went to take off that notice. Do you still have a conscience?”

Gu Yundong quietly closed the courtyard door, blocking the neighbors who wanted to watch the show. She slowly walked into the central room.

Madam Yang had already hidden when the man came in.

At this moment, there was only a man and a woman who looked like a married couple arguing in the central room.

Wang Xiaomei was probably in pain from the man’s grip. She shouted angrily, “Why am I heartless? It’s all for our family. Why don’t you take a look at how dilapidated our family is?”

“But you can’t take this kind of money. If not for Gu Dajiang, we would have all died. They’re here to collect debts. Would they let Gu Dajiang off if they found him?”

“What do you mean we would’ve died without Gu Dajiang? Without him, the soldiers will save us. It’s just a matter of time. You also know that they’re looking for Gu Dajiang to collect debt. If he doesn’t repay the debt, it means that he’s not a good person at all.”

“Whether he’s a good person or not, I admit that he saved my life. Let me tell you, Wang Xiaomei, if you dare to take this silver today, I’ll divorce you when we get back.”

Wang Xiaomei was stunned when she heard this. She looked at the man in disbelief. “You want to divorce me? Bao Chunhua, you want to divorce me for someone you’ve only met twice. What did I do wrong?” As she spoke, she started crying. “So what if I came here to report? I don’t know where Gu Dajiang is now. At most, I’ll tell them not to look for him in Qing’an Prefecture. It’s a huge world outside. They might not be able to find Gu Dajiang even if they die. You only lost your conscience if you divorce me because of this.”

She was crying profusely. The man probably realized that he had spoken too harshly. Seeing her cry so miserably, he was at a loss.

However, he still straightened his neck and said, “It’s not right for you to have such thoughts. Alright, stop crying. How can you cry like this in someone else’s house? Let’s go home.”

Bao Chunhua pulled her away, but Gu Yundong still handed them the ten taels of silver.

She was a woman of her word.

Wang Xiaomei was overjoyed and reached out to take it.

Bao Chunhua glared at her. “Don’t you dare take it.”

Wang Xiaomei was so frightened that she immediately retracted her hand and glared at Gu Yundong. “Why didn’t you take it out earlier?”

Then, she was pulled away.

Gu Yundong was speechless. It was not her fault. She was just a little cautious.

After Wang Xiaomei left, Gu Yundong returned to the central room and saw the portrait on the table.

After some thought, she decided to paste it back on the notice wall.

She waited at home for more than ten days. During this period, three more people came claiming that they had seen Gu Dajiang.

One of them was a man whose face was red from drinking. He spoke incoherently and looked like he was here to extort money.

One was an old lady who had a small wonton stall. Although she was old, she had a good memory. She said that Gu Dajiang had gone to her stall to ask for a bowl of wontons. During the conversation, he had mentioned that he was leaving Qing’an Prefecture to look for his wife and children.

However, the old lady did not know where he went.

There was also a scholar-like person who said that he had seen Gu Dajiang talking to an officer before that officer left.

After consolidating the information, Gu Dajiang was indeed no longer in Qing’an Prefecture.

She rubbed the space between her eyebrows. Wouldn’t that be like looking for a needle in a haystack?

Madam Yang suddenly blinked and said, “The Gu family..”
