Chapter 59

It was Zhong Ling, who had stayed at home for a night.

After dressing up well at home, Zhong Ling was even more bright and beautiful, and she pounced toward Gu Hanyuan with a look of surprise and joy on her face.

"Brother Wutian!"

Even when she was surprised, Zhong Ling still remembered not to call him wrong.

Clearly, she had really kept every word of Gu Hanyuan's in her heart.

Gu Hanyuan could naturally understand Zhong Ling's thoughts, and the smile in his eyes increased by a few points.

He caught Zhong Ling, who had pounced over, and held her as he spun around.

"Why run so fast? What if you fall?"

"Brother Wutian, Ling'er missed you."

For the first time, Zhong Ling understood what it meant to be "a day apart is like three autumns."

Although it was only one night, she had been missing Gu Hanyuan the whole time.

Even when facing her parents' questions, she had been absent-minded.

"Ling'er, are your parents here?"

"Mom and Dad seem to have something to do and went out early in the morning. Hey, isn't this Black Rose? Why did it come over with Brother Wutian? Where is Sister Mu?"

Only then did Zhong Ling discover that Black Rose was actually following Gu Hanyuan, but Mu Wanqing was nowhere to be seen.

"Miss Mu seems to have been abducted by someone, and Black Rose came to me for help."

Gu Hanyuan explained the ins and outs to Zhong Ling, including the things between Duan Zhengchun and several lovers last night, but he concealed the fact that he went to find Mu Wanqing.

"Brother Wutian, you said my dad is Duan Zhengchun, Zhong Wanchou is not my biological dad? Duan Yu is my biological brother? Sister Mu is my biological sister?"

Zhong Ling was quite surprised by this fact, and even a bit confused.

"Hmm, your mother has already given your birth date to Duan Zhengchun. Even if you don't ask, Duan Zhengchun will come to recognize his relative sooner or later. I'll go save Miss Mu first; Ling'er, you take Black Rose down and settle it well, don't let it run around anymore."

Zhong Ling subconsciously took the reins Gu Hanyuan handed over; she hadn't yet reacted from the blow of learning the truth.

Only after Gu Hanyuan had been gone for a while did she lead Black Rose back in a daze.

After all, Zhong Wanchou, who had raised her for more than ten years, was suddenly not her biological father; it was normal that she couldn't accept it for a while.

But Gu Hanyuan wasn't worried about Zhong Ling, because her greatest advantage was being sunny and open-minded; she wasn't the type to get stuck in a dead end, she just needed a little time.

Although the secret room Zhong Wanchou used to imprison Duan Yu and Mu Wanqing was very hidden, Mu Wanqing had Gu Hanyuan's Divine Sense tracking on her, so he found the place very easily.

The secret room was made entirely of stone, with only one skylight on the roof, one zhang high.

The skylight was opened so high, clearly to prevent anyone from escaping through it.
