Seeing Aluo’s previously clean clothes covered in dust, Gu Zhixing furrowed his brows.

He reached out and pulled Aluo closer, dusting off the dirt from his clothes. “How did you fall?”

“Forget about that, we got the Starfall Herb. She said she has a lot and is willing to sell it to us,” Aluo excitedly reported the good news to him.

Gu Zhixing glanced at Lu Miao from a distance, but his expression remained indifferent, merely nodding in acknowledgment without showing any signs of happiness about the news.

From a not-too-close distance in the dimly lit parking lot, Lu Miao couldn’t see his face clearly. Yet, for some reason, every time she saw him, she felt a faint sense of familiarity.

She couldn’t pinpoint exactly what felt familiar, but she was certain she hadn’t met him anywhere before that night of the meteor shower on the mountain.

As he nodded, Lu Miao returned the gesture before he and Aluo started walking towards the distant car.

Aluo slapped his forehead and hurriedly took out his phone from Gu Zhixing’s pocket. He then ran back to Lu Miao and wrote down her phone number.

After taking a few steps, he turned back, still unsure. “Compensation for fakes?

Inspecting the goods before payment?”

Lu Miao nodded and gave him a thumbs-up.

Satisfied, Aluo ran back to Gu Zhixing, visibly overjoyed.

Watching them both get into the car, Lu Miao was about to find Gu Shiyan’s car.

“Who were you talking to?”

Gu Shiyan walked out from the passage behind her and followed her gaze, but he only caught the sight of the departing taillights.

“A friend,” Lu Miao replied, then turned to look at him curiously. “And what about you? What did you see just now?”

Gu Shiyan was always forthcoming with his answers to her questions, but this time, he remained uncharacteristically silent.

“It’s okay. I was just asking out of curiosity. Let’s go,” she said.

Lu Miao checked the parking space information and walked to the other side, finding her car and sitting in the passenger seat.

Gu Shiyu tapped his forehead and followed her into the car. He fastened her seatbelt for her before finally speaking. “I think I saw my eldest brother.”

Gu Family’s eldest brother?

Based on what Lu Miao had learned, Gu Family’s eldest brother had left the family many years ago, and there had been no information about him since then. Even during their father’s funeral, no one had seen him.

No one knew why he had left. Speculations abounded, ranging from a falling out with the Gu Family to his disappearance, or even rumors of him being kidnapped and killed without public confirmation.

After all, such things happened quite frequently in wealthy families. Thus, these speculations were not entirely baseless.

However, over the years, the Gu Family had never publicly spoken about it, allowing the outside world to speculate freely while keeping tight-lipped about anything concerning the eldest brother.

Lu Miao was also curious. What had happened back then that forced Gu Shiyu’s eldest brother to leave and kept the Gu Family silent about it for so many years?

“Didn’t you catch up with him?”

“The hall was too crowded. By the time I got there, he had disappeared.” Gu Shiyan’s brows furrowed. “I can’t be sure it was him yet. I need to go back and investigate.”

When his eldest brother left, Gu Shiyan was about the same age as Lu Miao is now. Although he didn’t forget what his brother looked like, people do change over the years. Before seeing his face again, he couldn’t be a hundred percent certain.

He also couldn’t inform the family prematurely about this sighting to avoid false excitement.

“Why did your eldest brother leave back then?” Lu Miao turned her head to look at him.

Gu Shiyan shook his head. “I only remember that afternoon after coming home from school, I heard intense arguing in the room, and then I saw my brother leaving with injuries. My mother chased after him in tears but couldn’t find him. Everyone thought he was just angry and would come back after a few days, but he never returned.”

Gu Shiyan paused, and a complex emotion flickered in his eyes as he looked ahead.

“I asked my mother later what had happened to my brother and why my father hit him. Every time, she would wipe away her tears and shake her head. Eventually, I stopped asking. After my brother left, he changed his phone number and all means of contact. My father didn’t want us to look for him, but my mother and grandmother secretly searched all over the country for years and even sent people abroad. Still, they never found any trace of him.” Gu Shiyan had left resolutely and cleanly, leaving no clues behind.

Lu Miao pondered for a moment. “Does the family still have his belongings?

As long as they had his belongings, even if there was a faint trace of his presence, she could help them find his exact whereabouts.

Gu Shiyan sighed. “I don’t think so. My father was deeply angered by him and threw away all his belongings shortly after he left. I’ll check again when I go home next time, to see if my mother and grandmother have kept anything.” “Mm,” Lu Miao nodded thoughtfully.

After dropping Lu Miao off at the Lingyue Mansion, Gu Shiyan returned to the company and immediately turned on his computer. His fingers danced swiftly on the keyboard, directly infiltrating the hospital’s surveillance system.

He then searched for the surveillance footage of the hospital lobby at the specific time and location. As the familiar face appeared on the screen, Gu Shiyan pressed the pause button with his fingertip.

Tang Mochen happened to come over to find him and saw him looking seriously at the computer. He leaned in to take a look, teasingly saying, “Hey, Shiyan , you know how to hack, but you always exploit me every day! Now you’re secretly invading someone else’s surveillance?”

This guy had been teasing him for so many years. Just as Tang Mochen was about to give him a stern lecture, he noticed the person on the screen.

“Wait, who is this person? Why does he look so familiar?” Tang Mochen reached out and turned the computer screen, leaning in to take a closer look.

He instantly exclaimed, “Oh my god! Isn’t this Big Brother Gu? When did he come back?”

Gu Shiyan gazed at the figure on the screen in silence for a moment, “Immediately, have someone search for him across the city, and also keep an eye on the hospital. If he appears, inform me immediately.” No matter what, he must find his brother this time..
