After confirming that Su Jianguo had explained everything, Yu Chonghua called Cheng Zhi——

"Azhi, this is the basic situation. Tell Cheng Jinbai and Su Huai that Sister Hong's people are basically abroad. Their lives will not be in danger in the short term, but they still need to remain vigilant."

"Ok."

"By the way, Xiaoting's grades have improved significantly in recent times. You've done a good job in tutoring. The Yu family wants to treat you to dinner. What do you think?"

Over the phone, Cheng Zhi's signing hand paused slightly, then picked it up again after a moment.

"I don't have much free time lately, so tell them to do it another time."

"Okay, then you are busy."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Chonghua remembered that he still had a question to ask.

Yu Ting has been smiling silly at a certain place recently. Yu Chonghua is very worried about the little girl's mental state and wants to ask Cheng Zhi what happened to Yu Ting recently.

Forget it, I’ll ask next time.

Yu Chonghua sighed and began to deal with the official business in hand.

……

On February 2019, 2, Su Jianguo was sentenced to death by the Z City Intermediate People's Court for several crimes including child abduction, drug trafficking, and abetting murder. The death penalty will be executed on March 28.

On March 3, Su Jianguo was shot.

After receiving the news, Cheng Jinbai subconsciously looked at Su Huai.

Su Huai's expression was calm, as if he had expected this a long time ago.

Seeing that Su Huai had no reaction, Cheng Jinbai went with him to the studio to paint and relax.

The two of them painted until evening.

During class the next day, Cheng Jinbai received an anonymous email from overseas——

"Cheng Jinbai, you and Su Huai will pay with your lives for Su Jianguo's death. I will make the pain he suffered return to you inch by inch."

Looking at the death threat letter, Cheng Jinbai frowned.

I could tell with my toes that this email must be from Sister Hong.

After Su Jianguo was arrested, everyone learned that Sister Hong had faked her death and fled abroad, and had been waiting for an opportunity to retaliate against the Cheng family and Su Huai.

She was really affectionate towards Su Jianguo.

After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Jinbai told Qin He about the matter.

Qin He took out his mobile phone and sent a message, then looked at Cheng Jinbai: "I called all my people to come to Kyoto, and they will arrive tomorrow. We will take turns to protect Miss and Young Master Gu, please don't worry."

"Sorry for bothering you, Brother Qin."

"This is what I should do, no trouble."

After receiving personal protection from Qin He and others, Cheng Jinbai calmed down a little and then continued class.

Sister Hong disappeared after issuing the death warning and never appeared again.

And all three have successfully integrated into university life.

Huo Sui'an joined a chemistry professor's team and started learning to do experiments with the professor;

Cheng Jinbai met a senior from the same school who had become a barrister through Cheng Zhi's introduction, and followed him to observe the cases he was responsible for, study and record;

Su Huai followed Mr. Lu to various art exhibitions, studying and looking for inspiration. In his free time, under Mr. Lu's introduction, Su Huai helped the Chaoyang District Public Security Bureau paint portraits of criminals, so that they could find and capture criminals faster——

However, because he was a minor, he was not included in the establishment.

Friday, January 3th.

Today is the 70th birthday of the old man of the Gu family. A charity dinner is held and dignitaries from all over Kyoto are invited to attend.

Cheng Jinbai and Huo Suian were also invited.

Huo Sian'an was busy with experiments and declined the invitation.

Cheng Jinbai happened to have free time and remembered that Mr. Gu was Su Huai's biological grandfather, so he accepted the invitation and planned to go to the Gu family's old house with Su Huai.On this day, the two returned to the villa at three o'clock in the afternoon. After changing clothes and doing makeup, Cheng Jinbai picked up the gifts he had prepared and headed towards the Gu family's old residence with Su Huai under the escort of Qin He.

The Gu family grew up in H City, next to Kyoto. The ancestral home was built in Yunmeng Mountain, which required a long mountain road.

When the group arrived at Yunmeng Mountain, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

At this time, the foot of the mountain was already full of vehicles.

After Cheng Jinbai got out of the car, the security personnel came to check and confirmed that they did not bring any flammable or explosive contraband before letting them go.

Then special people came to pick them up the mountain.

Of course, if you can't walk, you can take the cable car up.

Cheng Jinbai glanced at the dark valley below the cable car and silently leaned towards Su Huai.

[If something happened, he would definitely be shattered into pieces if he fell. 】

"The road here is uneven, I will take you there." Su Huai took Cheng Jinbai's hand and spoke softly.

Feeling the warmth from his palms, Cheng Jinbai's heart skipped a beat and he coughed unnaturally: "Then you have to hold on tight. If I fall down later, today's look will be in vain."

"Yes, yes, my eldest lady."

Su Huai laughed and slowly held Cheng Jinbai's hand.

When Cheng Jinbai walked to the old house, he realized that his fingers were intertwined with each other, and his heart was beating harder.

Gu Mingya was greeting guests at the door. When he saw Su Huai and Cheng Jinbai walking up holding hands, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

He knew there was something fishy about these two little guys.

Sensing Gu Mingya's eyes falling on the two people's clasped hands, Cheng Jinbai quickly let go.

The palms of his hands suddenly became empty. The young man lowered his eyes and felt that his heart felt empty.

"Uncle Gu." Cheng Jinbai greeted.

"Well, it's hard to climb the mountain. Let's go in and take a rest. By the way, the old man has always wanted to see you. Let Ah Huai take you there in a while." Gu Mingya said with a smile.

"Ok."

Cheng Jinbai handed the gift to the housekeeper behind Gu Mingya, and then followed Su Huai into the house.

The house is hundreds of years old.

Every plant, tree, flower and stone in the house has witnessed the rise of a family and several changes in imperial power.

Looking at the traces of time on some wooden doors, Cheng Jinbai couldn't help but sigh.

[Everything here is an antique and extremely valuable for research. 】

[Tsk, it deserves to be the number one scholarly family with a hundred years history. This ancestral house is several times bigger than the Su family’s old house. I’m almost dizzy with this long corridor. 】

[It seems that I finally understand the feeling of being a lady in ancient times without leaving home. 】

The boy next to him raised his lips slightly and led Cheng Jinbai to stop in front of an antique courtyard.

"Just now, we're here."

Cheng Jinbai raised his head and looked at the brightly lit courtyard, and was about to ask when an old man suddenly walked out of it. When he saw them, he immediately felt happy -

"The young master is here!"

"Yes. Mr. Fang, is my grandfather in there?" Su Huai nodded.

"Yes. This is..."

"Her name is Cheng Jinbai."

"Oh, it turns out to be Miss Cheng. Young Master and Miss Cheng, please come in. The old man has been waiting for you for a long time." The old man said with a smile.

Cheng Jinbai and Su Huai went in and saw an old man with a kind face, gray temples, and a Tang suit sitting in a high seat, drinking tea with a leisurely look on his face.

Seeing Su Huai and Cheng Jinbai come in, Mr. Gu, the old man, was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Ah Huai is here. This is..."
