Long Muyan was 27 years old. He was the eldest grandson of Long Size. His father had passed away when he was young, and his mother had passed away two years later.
There was no other information. There was also no mention of Long Muyanâs medical history of autism.
Qin Shu took out her phone and glanced at Long Muyan. He gave people the feeling that he had locked himself up.
He was Long Sizeâs eldest grandson. Logically speaking, he should be the most favored.
She raised her head and glanced at the house. She glanced at the somewhat desolate scene in the courtyard. It did not seem like the treatment that the eldest grandson should receive.
She asked him tentatively: âDo you like staying here?â
Long Muyan nodded. He did not even raise his head to look at Qin Shu. He was busy with the work at hand.
Qin Shu wanted to understand why Long Muyan, as the eldest grandson, would receive such treatment?
The point was that he himself quite liked it.
She continued to ask: âIs your family treating you well?â
Long Muyan raised his eyes to look at Qin Shu. His dark eyes were very calm, and then he lowered his head.
At this moment, the Butler walked in from outside the courtyard. When he saw Qin Shu at the table, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he said to Long Muyan: âYoung Master Yan, Master wants to see you.â
The sudden arrival of the Butler did not cause Qin Shu to reveal a guilty expression. Instead, she looked at him calmly.
Long Muyan continued to busy himself with the matters at hand.
The Butler did not urge him and turned around to leave after saying that.
Qin Shu glanced at Long Muyan, but he acted as if he did not hear her and continued to busy himself. She could not help but feel even more puzzled.
Only when Long Muyan was done with the matters at hand and put the Gu worm back to its original place did he stand up and walk out.
Qin Shu also stood up and looked at the tall and straight figure in front of her. He was wearing black clothes, and his surroundings seemed to be emitting a gloomy aura.
If she did not hear his words, she would really think that he was the kind of person who was gloomy enough to make her turn away.
Long Muyan went to Long Sizeâs room.
Qin Shu did not continue to follow him. When she reached the fork of the road, she went to the gazebo.
Not long after, Long Qingyue arrived.
During the conversation, they only talked about the cooperation and did not mention the Gu refinement.
Qin Shu mentioned it twice, but Long Qingyue rejected both of them.
After the discussion was almost done, the next step was to prepare the contract and then to plan the development plan.
She left all of this to the people in the company. After returning to the hotel, Qin Shu sat on the sofa. The Long Clan had directly banned Gu worms like Reverse this time, which meant that this path was cut off.
Thinking of Jun Li in Imperial City, she could not give up so easily. She took out Hao Zeâs name card.
Hao Ze was a Gu master chosen by the Long Clan, he had been raised in Long Clan since young, he should be very clear about Long Clanâs matters.
She took out her phone and dialed Hao Zeâs number.
After about five seconds, the call was picked up, the other party was not surprised at all, as if he had guessed that she would call this number.
âMiss Qin.â
Qin Shu did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point: âLetâs make an appointment to meet.â
Hao Ze readily agreed. âSure, you can decide the time and place.â
âTwo oâclock in the afternoon, afternoon coffee shop.â
âOkay.â
Qin Shu hung up the phone and dialed Gu Yanâs number.
After the call was picked up, she asked: âHow is Jun Li?â
âHe hasnât fully woken up yet. He suddenly woke up the night before. After saying a few words, he fell asleep again. Howâs the situation on your side?â Gu Yan asked.
âItâs fine on my side. Iâll get the Gu worms as soon as possible.â In order not to worry Gu Yan, Qin Shu told him about Fu Tingyu. âIâll tell you a piece of good news. Iâve found Tingyu.â
Gu Yan was stunned for a moment. Then, he revealed a happy expression and asked her excitedly: âReally? Is he with you now?â
âNo. I plan to look for him after I get the Gu Worms. Heâs in Kua Yi Village now.â
âItâs great as long as heâs fine. Itâs been two months. Weâve finally found him.â Gu Yan let out a long sigh and also let out a sigh of relief. Xiao Jiu ran over at this time. He raised his head and asked: âUncle Gu, is that my motherâs phone? I want to talk to her.â
âOkay, okay. Here you go.â Gu Yan smiled and handed the phone in his hand to Xiao Jiu.
Xiao Jiu took the phone and shouted into the microphone: âMommy, did you miss Xiao Jiu? Iâve always been very obedient and not naughty.â
Hearing Xiao Jiuâs soft baby voice, Qin Shuâs heart instantly softened. âOf course, I miss Xiao Jiu. Mom found Dad. Iâll be able to bring him home soon. Are you happy?â
âMommy really found Daddy. Iâm happy. Iâll wait for Daddy and Mommy to come home together.â
âOkay, mommy will finish my work as soon as possible and then come home with Daddy to Xiao Jiu.â
After hanging up the phone, Qin Shu felt that the pressure she was under was worth it. Xiao Jiu, Jun Li, Gu Yan, and the others were waiting for her and the man to get back to Imperial City. No matter how difficult it was, she had to get the Gu worms and go back as soon as possible.
Two oâclock in the afternoon, afternoon coffee shop
Qin Shu came half an hour earlier and sat in a more conspicuous place so that when Hao Ze came, she could see him at a glance.
Just as Qin Shu thought, Hao Zeâs tall and straight figure walked into the coffee shop and saw Qin Shu at a glance. That position was more conspicuous and at the same time, it was relatively quiet.
He raised his feet and walked over.
Qin Shu saw that Hao Ze had come, so she raised her hand to call the waiter over and ordered two mocha coffees.
âIâm late. Miss Qin, sorry for the wait.â Hao Ze sat down opposite Qin Shu and looked at her with a smile on his face.
Qin Shu said: âIâm the one who came early. Itâs my honor that you took the time out of your busy schedule to come over.â
Hao Ze smiled: âMiss Qin, Iâm not used to you being so polite all of a sudden.â
The waiter came over with a tray and placed two cups of Mocha coffee in front of Qin Shu and Hao Ze. Then, he turned around and left.
âMiss Qin, are you looking for me this time for that matter?â Hao Ze picked up the coffee and looked up at Qin Shu, waiting for her answer. Qin Shu said, âI canât do what you said. Besides, Long Qingyue has already said that itâs forbidden to refine these Gu Worms. You should have heard about it.â
Hao Ze nodded: âYes, I just heard about it. It seems that Miss Qin is very well-informed.â
Qin Shu did not hide it from him. âI heard from Long Qingyue that you have been raised in the Long Clan since you were young, so you should be very familiar with the Long Clan. I want to know why the clan suddenly banned Gu worms like Reverse.â
Hao Ze asked back, âThen, have you heard that the granddaughter of the Long family has acknowledged her ancestors and returned to her family?â
Qin Shuâs eyes flashed with doubt, she shook her head: âI have not heard of her, is she the daughter of Long Qingyue?â
Hao Ze smiled and shook his head, explaining: âShe was born to Long Sizeâs youngest daughter, she has just been acknowledged. Long Size did not want his daughter to marry outside, thus, the daughter she gave birth to is his granddaughter.â
âI can see that long Si Ze dotes on this little daughter, he loves the house and the Crow, thus he also likes this granddaughter. But, what does this have to do with Gu Refinement?âQin Shu asked.
âThis is a secret, this is also rules of the Long Clan.â Hao Ze looked at her with a helpless expression.
