Chapter 948 The Grave Robbers' Chronicles 36
Seeing that she didn't seem to mind at all, a smile flashed in Gu Wufeng's eyes.
Although I was a little surprised that she could accept it so easily, it also showed that it didn't affect their family's relationship at all.
"You're investigating your own background now, right? Have you found anything?"
"We found out. I have no blood relatives left. You are my only family now."
Gu Wufeng nodded: "Of course, we will always be your family. We didn't tell you this before because we were worried you would overthink it."
After all, a relationship of more than twenty years cannot be changed overnight.
Besides, the atmosphere at home has always been very good.
Gu Wusi smiled knowingly.
"However, I called you here because I have something to ask you."
"Brother, please speak." Gu Wusi actually had a rough idea of what he was going to say.
“After you returned from Hainan in the first half of the year, I found that quite a few people were investigating you and our family. After you came back this time, there were even people staking out the neighborhood. Can you tell me what you were doing there?”
He didn't think that his sister had brought trouble or negative impact to the family.
After all, the Gu family is a large and powerful family, and they wouldn't be affected by such a small matter.
I'm just worried that my sister might be in danger or that something might have happened to her.
"I went down into the tomb twice." Gu Wu thought for a moment and chose to tell the truth.
It wouldn't be difficult for Gu Wufeng to investigate this matter; he simply chose to ask her first out of respect for his own feelings.
Upon hearing this, Gu Wufeng was both surprised and somewhat worried.
"You went to the tomb? Is it related to your search for your origins?"
Surprisingly, her background may be related to the tomb.
His concern was that his sister might get involved in those underground matters, and he knew how complicated things and people were in those places.
The Nine Gates were all families of tomb raiders, which is no secret in the industry.
Generally speaking, families like the Gu family don't have very close relationships with them; they only have business dealings.
"Well, big brother, don't worry. I'm very skilled. See, I came back safely both times," Gu Wusi comforted him.
Seeing her nonchalant attitude, Gu Wufeng felt a little itchy to bite her.
"How can I not worry? You're my only sister, and you're the apple of Mom and Dad's eye."
He didn't dare tell the two elderly people about this.
He was afraid they would whip him and say he hadn't looked after his sister properly.
That's right. Before he turned thirty, if anything happened to his sister, he would get a beating.
The reason is that he, as the older brother, failed to take good care of his younger sister.
As for why he stopped fighting after the age of thirty, it was because the old man said that Yun Chuan and Yun Xiao were getting older, and he wanted to give Yun Chuan, as their father, some face.
So, he wasn't beaten because of the children.
Upon hearing this, Gu Wusi joked, "Big brother, you're not even jealous of me, are you? You think Mom and Dad love me more?"
"How could that be? You brat, you're just talking nonsense."
The two chatted and laughed, and Gu Wufeng didn't ask her about the specifics of her background.
It's mainly related to the tomb, and the person is no longer here, so I don't want to bring it up and upset my sister.
After laughing, Gu Wusi became serious.
"Brother, I'll handle the people outside. I won't let them affect the family."
"How will you solve this?" In Gu Wufeng's heart, his younger sister will always be the one who needs his protection.
But he didn't directly refute her idea; he asked her first.
To reassure him, Gu Wusi suggested, "Ah Jin and Xingchen are both quite good this time. Let me use them to handle things."
"Even if you hadn't told me, I was planning to send you a few bodyguards anyway."
"Two are enough, thanks bro."
Gu Wufeng waved his hand: "No need. Why are you being so polite now that you've come back from this trip? Why are you thanking me?"
"hey-hey."
"Since you've asked for people, then have them stay with you to prevent anyone from watching you. As for the people lying in wait outside, I'll have someone deal with them."
"Alright, brother, you can arrange it as you see fit."
Anyway, even if members of the Wang family are arrested, they usually can't get anything out of them.

Gu Wusi stayed at home for a week before being notified that he could go out.
She can stay at home quite well; she doesn't find seven days too difficult.
Once she was allowed to go out, she got busy.
First, she went to meet her friends, who were all complaining that she had been gone for so long without taking them with her.
Gu Wusi laughed it off, and everyone just spent the day having fun and drinking together.
Then, Huo Xiuxiu and Xie Yuchen had a meal together.
"Wusi, we are relieved to see you back safe and sound. Brother Xiaohua even came back from Changsha because he knew you were back."
As soon as everyone was seated, Huo Xiuxiu spoke.
Gu Wusi was somewhat surprised to hear this: "Oh? I actually have such great influence that I can make the big boss, who is in a very busy position, put down his work."
"You're one to talk. I didn't even see you back then, and I didn't know your situation, whether something happened to you or what."
Xie Yuchen said that he didn't see her when the bronze door opened.
Gu Wusi chuckled lightly, offering no explanation: "I said I would come back."
"As long as I see you come back, that's all that matters."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something: "Did your trip attract the attention of anyone else?"
"What do you mean by that?"
“When we came out of the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds, your people followed us down the mountain. When I sent people to settle them down, I found that someone was following them. I investigated.”
At this point, Xie Yuchen paused for a moment: "In the end, we found nothing. Do you know who it was?"
After listening, Gu Wusi's eyebrows twitched slightly: "All I know is that they are a bunch of rats in the shadows, and the Gu family has also been targeted by their people."
"Then you need to be careful. We don't know what the purpose of this group of people who can't be traced is."
Gu Wusi nodded.
It's not just her who needs to be careful; the Nine Gates are in the same boat, but Xie Yuchen doesn't know this yet.
Huo Xiuxiu was also puzzled: "Who could it be? You all went to that Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top, why are you only focusing on Wu Si and the Gu family?"
Gu Wusi didn't say anything. The Xie and Huo families had been replaced by the Wang family quite a few times.
It's not the right time to talk about this now.

In a courtyard house bearing the marks of time, two people sit around a stone table.
Zhang Qiling was basking in the sun, lost in thought, when suddenly his cell phone buzzed in his pocket.
He paused for a moment, then took it out, but didn't answer immediately.
Beside him, Black Bear looked at him as if he were watching some kind of fantastical tale.
"Dumb guy, how could I possibly hear your phone making a sound in my lifetime??"
He quickly glanced at Zhang Qiling's phone.
When I saw the caller ID, I was so surprised that I adjusted my sunglasses, thinking I was seeing things.
Then, someone burst out laughing: "Hehehe, little fairy~ Did you save this as your contact name? You didn't secretly find a girlfriend, did you?"
