Gu Jingze said, “Since your elder sister married into our family, she’s part of the Gu family. She’s my sister-in-law. Your parents are also members of my family. This is what the Gu family ought to do.”

In no time.

The day of the funeral came.

Because there was quite a lot of attention surrounding this incident, many people came to the funeral.

The reporters thronged the area outside since they knew that Mr. President would come.

But because Yu Minmin was pregnant, she entered from the back to avoid the reporters outside.

When Gu Jingming entered, his guards were already stationed outside. The entire row was dressed in black and appeared too solemn.

There was also a recent broadcast on television that was almost a live broadcast from start to finish.

Gu Jingze came with Lin Che in tow. Both of them were also completely dressed in black as they entered.

Gu Jingyan and Lu Beichen walked in together. Previously, a rumor circulated that the two of them had divorced. However, both had their arms hooked together and seemed to be better than before. With that, the rumors got discredited.

After going in, Gu Jingyan glanced inside and asked, “Where’s Jingyu? Why isn’t he here yet?”

Lin Che swept her gaze across the area and saw that he was not around. She then hastily lifted her phone and sent Gu Jingyu a WeChat message.

“Where are you? You’re not here yet.”

Gu Jingyu only replied with one sentence after a long time. “Wait for a bit. Something cropped up.”

Lin Che said, “He said he’ll be here very soon. Let’s wait a bit.”

There was another commotion outside, and they heard people screaming. It seemed that Mu Feiran had arrived.

Everyone looked outside. Sure enough, Mu Feiran and Black Eagle arrived together.

The reporters furiously snapped photographs, as if they had gotten wind of some breaking news.

When Mu Feiran entered, she muttered, “Do these people have some problem? Don’t they know where the focus is? Why are they taking photos of us here?”

Yu Minmin said, “It’s all because you guys very seldom appear in the same frame. Although everyone in the industry knows about your relationship, outsiders don’t.”

Mu Feiran saw Yu Minmin sitting there as if everything was the same. She went over to check on her.

Yu Minmin held her arm and guided her to sit down. “It’s fine. I’m already used to it. I’ve already cried all my tears out and made as much of a fuss as necessary. Right now, I just want to catch the culprit as soon as possible. Since my parents are no longer around, I won’t kick up a fuss so unreasonably. After all, we’re still alive.”

Now that the situation was so chaotic, it was not the time for her to be sad.

She drew in a deep breath and caressed her belly.

If she continued crying, the little one in her womb probably could not take it. It was better for her to live well, as she should.

Mu Feiran sighed. “I can’t believe those wretched things did this.”

In no time, the funeral began.

Only then did Gu Jingyu arrive in a rush.

Upon his entrance, he said, “I’m sorry, something held me up for a bit. I’m really…”

“Alright. It’s fine now that you’re here. Stay at the back. Don’t come to the front and be a thorn in the eye,” Gu Jingze said.

Gu Jingyu curled his lip. Knowing that he was late, he did not retort anymore and obediently went to the back.

Lin Che sneakily poked him. “What did you do?”

Gu Jingyu mumbled to himself, “Nothing.”

But Lin Che had already thought of a possibility.

Su Wan…

She raised her eyebrows. Without saying a word, she smiled and continued looking outside.

After the funeral, exhaustions dawned on everyone, especially when there were so many reporters outside following them.

Yu Minmin watched as they buried the caskets in the ground. Both of her parents were buried together in the national garden.

Many people who had contributed to the country were buried here. Many of the relatives of the royal family in the past were also buried on the premises.

Her father would definitely feel very proud to be buried here.

With this thought in mind, she could not help but start crying again.

Beside her, Gu Jingming held her hands.

She shook her head, smiled at him, and wiped her tears away.

Once they settled all the funeral procedures, everyone went to the meeting place to eat. However, Lin Che saw Gu Jingze go outside to make a call.

Lin Che found it strange. She walked out and heard Gu Jingze speak coldly into the phone, “Let me know when you find them. The An family probably knew that this would be their end since they dared to escape. If they want to engage in a life and death struggle with us, they should check if they have that kind of capability.”

Lin Che immediately walked out.

“What? The An family? Was it the An family that did all this?”

Gu Jingze paused.

He turned to look at Lin Che and put down his phone.

“You heard it.”

Lin Che asked, “Was it An Lan?”

Gu Jingze nodded without saying a word.

Lin Che said hatefully, “What exactly is she trying to do? Forget the fact that she first tried to harm you. Now, again, she…”

“At the moment, the entire An family already moved and escaped.”

Hearing this, Lin Che was even more stunned. “Then, what do we do?”

“Earlier, Qin Hao called to say that he saw them in Africa. They went there to take shelter. I suspect that they made use of the arms market there. They had built many factories in those poor countries. Understandably, they’re now there to take cover.”

“Ah… in that case, will it be more difficult to find them there? There are many small states there. I reckon the formalities will be very complex.”

Gu Jingze nodded. “That’s why I was telling him to confirm the precise location so we can collect their debt in blood. Regarding this matter, I won’t let them off so easily.”

Lin Che said, “Take me with you if you’re going there, especially if it’s a dangerous place. If you go alone, I’ll be so worried that I won’t be able to sleep.”

Gu Jingze put his arm around her. “Don’t worry. Nothing will happen to me.”

“No. I really will be worried. It’s better that I go with you. If I can watch over you, I won’t be so worried.”

Both had been together for so many years. How could he not understand her?

“Alright. I promise you. If I go, I will bring you along. Is that alright?”

Only then did Lin Che lean into his embrace in relief.

Gu Jingze sighed. “You are becoming more and more like a child. You’re so clingy.”

“Why? Are you tired of it?” Lin Che asked.

“What if I’m annoyed?” he deliberately looked down and asked.

“Hmph. You dare to get annoyed?!” Lin Che said. She stood on her tiptoes and immediately caught his lip between her teeth.

Then she bit it hard.

“Hey. The kitten is biting someone again.” He covered his lips and looked at her.

Lin Che was still huffing threateningly.

Gu Jingze tapped her on the forehead helplessly. “You’re the only one who has such guts. Don’t think that I won’t dare to sort you out. Just you wait, when we reach home…”

He lowered his head and said something into her ear.

Lin Che’s face immediately turned impossibly red. She immediately hit his chest with her fists.

“How hateful!”

“Oh my god, this hurts my eyes.”

Gu Jingyu had been watching at the door for a long time.

When Lin Che saw him cover his eyes as he walked out, her face turned even redder.

But Gu Jingze resumed his expression of complete indifference in no time.

“I can’t believe you came so late to such an occasion today.”

Gu Jingyu scratched his head. “Hey, didn’t I already say… that something cropped up…”

“Alright. You were watching from the back for such a long time. You didn’t come here just to watch. Tell me what you’re trying to do,” Gu Jingze said.

Gu Jingyu scratched his head again. “Well. Lin Che, is your company still recruiting people now?”

“Why?”

“Do you still remember Su Wan? I…”
