Chapter 1010: Chapter 1010: Why Are You Back at This Hour?
Han Jingchen tightened his grip on Gu Wanqing’s hand: "It won’t happen again. No matter what happens, I’ll tell you first."
Gu Wanqing’s expression softened: "My people have been looking into the whereabouts of my grandfather’s attendant from back then, and we recently found some useful information. Once we find him, some things should be revealed."
Han Jingchen nodded: "Mm, I’ve also had people keep an eye on it based on the information you provided."
Gu Wanqing stood up: "I’ll give you the progress documents."
Soon, she brought out a document folder: "These are messages that just arrived. Give them to your people to review later."
After sitting down again: "Yanyan called back saying her school is already on break. She’s busy with her own affairs for a day or two, then she’ll return to East Province with Jinxuan."
Han Jingchen opened the folder in his hands, quickly flipping through the materials: "When she returns, let her look through these as well. You know her temperament; she’s certainly heading to East Province with the intention of investigating what happened back then."
Gu Wanqing recalled what she had said to her daughter before: "Should we mention this to Jinxuan? I’m concerned about Yanyan’s safety if she acts alone."
If those families can’t find Mom and Dad, they’ll surely investigate in various ways.
Grandfather had his accident in East Province, and I’m worried those families might still have spies there. If our young lady inadvertently gets noticed, it could be dangerous.
Jinxuan knows a bit about the Gu Family’s affairs, and since he and Yanyan are engaged, they should weather the storm together. This way, I’ll be a bit more at ease.
Han Jingchen finished reading the materials in his hand: "Before they leave, Jinxuan will definitely come by. Show him this information too; he’s more familiar with Sanyuan than Yanyan."
Gu Wanqing thought of her young lady coming from the adoptive parents’ home and somehow ending up at the Mechanical Factory. It seems some things are destined by fate.

On the other side, He Jinxuan called his big brother at the steel factory.
He Jiefang, hearing that it’s his Third Brother, ran all the way. When he heard the phone ringing, he quickly picked it up: "Hello, is it Jinxuan?"
He Jinxuan heard his big brother’s voice: "Big Brother, it’s me."
He Jiefang asked anxiously: "Jinxuan, is there something going on that you’re calling back for?"
He knew his brother well and that he seldom called home.
He Jinxuan didn’t beat around the bush: "Brother, I got a call from Yanqing a few days ago and heard about the family’s situation. I took leave from work, planning to go back for a look."
When He Jiefang heard about this: "If you’re busy, don’t come back just for this. Yuejin and I are here at home; we won’t let Yanqing suffer."
He Jinxuan understood his brother’s concern: "Brother, I’ve already taken leave and got the train tickets for the day after tomorrow. By then, Xinyan will also return; let the family know."
He Jiefang heard that his sister-in-law would be coming back too: "Alright, I’ll tell Mom after work and have your sister-in-law and the others help tidy up your room."
The two chatted a bit more before hanging up.
He Jiefang couldn’t hold the matter in his heart, and not long after returning to the workshop, he took leave from the supervisor and hurried home.
In the courtyard, He Family’s eldest sister-in-law Wang Erni saw her man coming home: "Why did you come back at this time?"
He Jiefang didn’t see any sign of his mom: "Where’s Mom?"
Mother He, inside the house, heard the voice of her eldest son and came out, glancing at the sun in the sky: "Jiefang, why did you come back?"
