Chapter 271: Chapter 271: Gu Gongming Stays

Having just finished working and bathed, Huo Juanyan was lying in bed when he heard a message in WeChat.

He picked up his phone and saw the message from Xu Qi, as well as the attachment. His gaze was obscure and dark.

He didn’t want to open it and nonchalantly replied—

[Hmm.]

Then he tossed the phone onto the bedside table.

Following that, Huo Juanyan looked down at his legs, which had no sensation.

Scenes from that afternoon surfaced in his mind, when Doctor Li had given him acupuncture.

Only their eyes and eyebrows were visible, and their gaze was extremely serious as their slender, beautiful fingers twirled the Silver Needle, searching for an acupuncture point that could trigger sensation.

Huo Juanyan, following the memory of the location where Doctor Li had pressed, placed his fingertips on an acupoint on his thigh.

He remembered that this was the spot that had elicited a sensation.

In a daze, he seemed to see Doctor Li squatting beside the bed, their pale fingers pressing on that spot, looking up at him with clear eyes.

"Do you feel anything here?"

Huo Juanyan looked back into those clear eyes, feeling a sense of familiarity, and his legs seemed to regain a bit of sensation as well.

He closed his eyes and when he opened them again, Doctor Li by the bedside had disappeared, leaving only a ripple in his heart.

Huo Juanyan pulled open the top drawer of the bedside table and took out the half photograph stored inside.

He looked at the Ghost Doctor on it, head bowed, holding a sunflower, still unable to see the face, and a few traces of agitation appeared on his face.

He narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Ghost Doctor, are you Doctor Li?"

Only boundless silence responded to him.

Huo Juanyan’s gaunt right hand covered his forehead as he chuckled bitterly.

"I really must be crazy, questioning a photograph."

He flipped the photograph to put it back.

Unexpectedly, in the second it flipped, a mark appeared on the back of the photo under the light.

Huo Juanyan’s expression changed, and he calmly held the photograph up to the light overhead.

On the lower left corner of the back of the photo, it read a brief four words—

"Left by Gu Gongming."

Huo Juanyan read these words aloud, his deep eyes clearing slightly.

He immediately took out his phone and called Chen Li.

"Secretary Chen, I need you to help me investigate someone named Gu Gongming, find out who he is and what his relationship is with the Ghost Doctor?"

Chen Li, jolted awake by the message in the middle of the night, listened to the familiar name, seeming to have heard it somewhere before.

"Alright, President Huo, I’ll investigate immediately."

After hanging up, Chen Li directly searched for the name.

The next second, a news article appeared on the webpage, the only one related to Gu Gongming.

Chen Li clicked on it and saw it was a news about the Gu Family, one of the four major families in City A, severing ties with their most favored youngest son, Gu Gongming.

The date of this news was forty years ago!

Back then, the Gu Family gave no reasons as they stripped Gu Gongming of his position as heir and thrust him out of the family, cutting all ties from then on.

Chen Li, looking at the news, murmured to herself, "I wonder if the Gu Gongming that President Huo is looking for is this person."

If it is this person, the Gu Family will certainly have erased all information about Gu Gongming, making him not so easy to locate.

But other than this person, there likely aren’t many Gu Gongmings to investigate.

Chen Li pondered for a moment and decided to ask for Xia Xing’s help.

"Hello, Assistant Xia, do you have any information on the Gu Family?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Xing on the other end discerned Chen Li’s purpose.

"Tell me, who is President Huo asking you to investigate?"

Chen Li said gravely, "Assistant Xia, I want information about Gu Gongming."
