Chapter 273 273. Difficult childbirth that year

Seeing that Lin Wu's expression was not right, Gu Chengbai hurriedly said: "But my uncle didn't force them to go! That team went overseas back then. Before setting off, they all knew what they were going to do, and they went voluntarily!"

Lin Wu asked unexpectedly: "Then do you know what they are going to do?"

Gu Chengbai choked and subconsciously looked at Bo Yuting, a little defensive.

Bo Yuting said angrily: "Well, Gu Chengbai, you actually know more about what happened back then than I do, and you still pretend to know nothing, and you have tricked me into finding out the information that I have worked so hard to find out over the years. ! If you are not a person like you, it is in vain for me to trust you so much."

Gu Chengbai: "Oh, it sounds like you trust me."

Bo Yuting wanted to roll his eyes, but he probably held it back because of his image in front of Lin Wu. He said: "So you really know what they go to do, such as... the dungeon?"

Gu Chengbai's heart skipped a beat and he looked at Lin Wu.

Seeing that neither of them were surprised, Gu Chengbai understood that what they had said before was true and that he knew everything he needed to know.

He pursed his lips and said, "Yes."

Lin Wu asked: "What happened? Before Gu Tangfeng set off, he told you about the underground city? But no one else told his family. And how did he know about the underground city?"

Gu Chengbai looked at Lin Wu, his eyes were very complicated, mixed with indescribable emotions.

He sighed slightly, "My uncle didn't tell us about the underground city, because he knew about the underground city from us."

"What did you say?!"

 Lin Wu and Bo Yuting both looked surprised.

When Gu Chengbai talked about the past, his tone was calm: "I already knew what was going on at that time. I remember it was a very ordinary afternoon. My father came back from outside, but his face was not very good. When he saw his uncle at home, he called him into the building directly. We went to the study to chat privately. Shiqing and I felt something was wrong, so we went over to eavesdrop, and we heard dad talking about a mysterious and dangerous underground city."

"But my father and my uncle were very vigilant, and they immediately discovered us and drove us away. I don't know what they said after that, but after that conversation, my father and my uncle became obviously busy, and my uncle often disappeared. Sometimes I came back with wounds all over my body.”

"Not long after, he suddenly said goodbye to his family, and we found out that he had found the Bo family to form a team to go overseas together. When we found out, it was already too late, and they all made plans. The day before my uncle left, That night, I talked with Dad all night long. The next night, we didn’t see my uncle, he had already left.”

Gu Chengbai looked at Bo Yuting, his tone slightly cold.

 “Do you think you are the only one who has lost your uncle? Me too.”

“They left that time and never came back. When the news came that he was dead, our Gu family didn’t believe it and we had to find my uncle. But my dad stopped us.”

"It was at this time that Shiqing and I learned from my father that my uncle and the others were looking for an underground city. I asked him what an underground city was, and my father said he didn't know. Just because he didn't know, Only those people went to investigate and find out. He also said that it was very dangerous there and asked us not to send people to look for it. He also tried to dissuade other tribes and people from the black market, but no one listened."

 At this point, Gu Chengbai suddenly stopped, seeming hesitant to continue.

Lin Wu pressed: "What next?"

Gu Chengbai said slowly: "Bo Yuting should have told you what happened next. Those people went from constantly searching, to suffering heavy losses, to losing hope and giving up, and finally had little contact with each other. Beijing gradually became what it is today. You know the situation.”

Lin Wu nodded, "I know that, probably only the Gu family and the Bo family are still insisting on searching. The Bo family is because they don't want to give up on Bo Qingcheng, what about the Gu family?"

Gu Chengbai stared at Lin Wu with eyes that made Lin Wu a little confused.

In fact, Gu Chengbai also said something shocking: "The Gu family is looking for me because of my uncle, but more importantly, it's because of you."

  “...Me??”     Lin Wu suspected that he had heard wrongly.

Bo Yuting's face changed slightly, and her tone was urgent: "How could it be because of Lin Wu?! At that time, Mrs. Gu lost her child in childbirth. Aren't you sure that she is dead?"

Gu Chengbai was somewhat satisfied with Bo Yuting's nervousness towards Lin Wu, and said, "It is indeed because of Wu Wu. You all know that my mother had a difficult delivery in Beicheng eighteen years ago and almost died, so do you know why this happened? ?”

This is exactly what Lin Wu has always wanted to ask.

Since she knew that there was something strange about Chi Yangzhi's difficult childbirth, she wondered whether it had anything to do with the conflict between the Gu family and the Huo family.

“The official statement I found is that the teacher met an enemy of the Gu family and was frightened and had difficulty giving birth.”

Lin Wu said: "But later I felt something was wrong. After careful investigation, I found that the Gu family did not know that the teacher was in Beicheng at that time. Gu Tangzhang has always cared about my teacher. Even he did not know my teacher's whereabouts. How could the enemies of the Gu family know? Now that you are talking about this, does it have anything to do with the Huo family and the underground city?"

 Gu Chengbai noticed the names Lin Wu called Chi Yangzhi and Gu Tangzhang, and understood that Lin Wu also regarded them as strangers. Maybe he was closer to Chi Yangzhi because of the teacher-student relationship, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

But he was not lost for too long, because Bo Yuting had already urged: "Gu Chengbai, don't say half of what you said, speak clearly quickly."

 Gu Chengbai, who was interrupted and sad, looked at him angrily: "Why are you so anxious? You have to let me start from the beginning."

Looking back to Lin Wu, Gu Chengbai's eyes softened.

He said in a gentle voice: "The story about meeting the enemy was deliberately released by the Gu family. You were right when you checked. We didn't know that mom went to Beicheng at that time. I remember that mom broke you and was about to die. It was full term, but one day, she suddenly said that there was a project at school that required her to go there for a few days.”

"You also know how dedicated Mom is to academics. Seeing that Mom insisted on going, Dad had no choice but to agree and wanted to take care of Mom. But Mom firmly disagreed. At that time, Mom was emotionally unstable during the pregnancy, and Dad was afraid that she would be angry and cause an abortion. We were so angry that we had to hire a nanny and ask school colleagues to take good care of mom. But we didn’t expect that mom didn’t go to school, but to Beicheng.”

"Dad was really worried about Mom, so he secretly went to see Mom. But he couldn't find Mom's whereabouts in Beicheng, so he rushed to Beicheng immediately. But something had happened to Mom. He received a call from Mom , she had a difficult delivery in the hospital, and someone was chasing her mother. When dad finally arrived at the hospital, the child was already..."

Gu Chengbai looked at Lin Wu distressedly.

He suppressed his emotions and continued: "Those people are very powerful. Dad was short of manpower at the time, so he had to take mom away in a hurry. After many twists and turns, he settled down."

"Afterwards, when my father traced it, the gang disappeared without a trace. No matter how he checked, he couldn't find it. It was when my mother woke up for the first time from a postpartum coma, and she unconsciously told him about the dungeon. Got a clue."

 After hearing this, Lin Wu and Bo Yuting were both shocked.

 Lin Wu was even more unbelievable: "It turns out that the person related to the dungeon... is the teacher??"

Gu Chengbai nodded: "At that time, my mother was in danger and had a difficult childbirth, which made my father very angry. After getting the clue of the underground city, he has been tracing it. In fact, at that time, we didn't know anything about the Huo family. I don't know what happened later, Dad He didn't tell me, I only know that he suddenly got some clues about the underground city, and then told his uncle. After that, there was the '511' case."

 He looked at Lin Wu again.

“After the ‘511’ incident, we, like other companies, thought about giving up.”

"But mom said that it was the person related to the dungeon who harmed you, and she insisted on avenging you; sometimes she said that you were not dead at all, but those people robbed you, and they must find you. And mom What else can you say, if we don’t deal with them, our whole family will be in danger.”

"Dad then insisted on searching. However, the Gu family and the Bo family were actually the same. It took several years to find out the news about the Huo family. But because of Mom, our attention was only on searching for the dungeon, so we didn't pay attention to the Huo family. Family concerns are less urgent.”
