I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father

Gu Shao’s men found out the details of what happened that night at Imperial Court Hotel.

As it turned out, while the Fourth Gu was having their wedding there that day, over on another floor of the hotel, the presidents and upper management of a few well-known companies in City B also had a gathering there that day.

During the gathering, Lin Yize had with him Song Kexin, who was his lover and secretary. Someone suggested for Song Kexin to dance for them but she refused. That angered Lin Yize and, for that, he had offered up Song Kexin as a toy for the others.

Lin Yize left with another woman that was offered up to him and Song Kexin was forced to drink a glass of “wine” by the others.

It was chaotic but Song Kexin was able to escape at the crucial moment.

Once the “alcohol” had kicked in, Song Kexin ran around in a frenzy. She wasn’t able to get out of the hotel but ended up in Gu Shao’s rest area inadvertently.

Gu Shao was unconscious in the rest area at the time but the plot against him by the Gu family was not yet over.

Supposedly, Fourth Gu’s newly wedded wife was supposed to walk into his rest area “inadvertently”. Lo and behold, Song Kexin truly ended up there inadvertently.

“As Lin Yize had exercised the power of the Lin family to clean up all evidences before we found out and that our main focus wasn’t this in the past, we have overlooked this part. This was our mistake,” said the man on the phone with a lowered voice.

Gu Shao did not comment on that. He quickly skimmed over the documents he had in his hand and finally saw the character “Lin”.

“Which Lin family?” asked Gu Shao.

“The one in City B in the business of foreign trade. The once Lin Yu Corporation and now Lin’s Corporation,” explained the man on the other end of the call.

Gu Shao nodded slightly and continue to flip through the documents.

As for how Lin Yize came to later on, and how he didn’t care about what had happened to Song Kexin; how the two were madly in love and displayed their love publicly; how they had formed a loving family; Gu Shao didn’t care much about that other than finding it bizarre.

“As such, Lin Xi—”

“We have also looked into the time frame when Ms. Song had visited the hospital, the birth record, and a request to have an abortion that never took place. Judging from the timeline of actions that Ms. Song had proceeded with afterward, the child can very likely be yours…” said the other person cautiously.

He paused, then carried on. “The other document was on Miss Lin Xi and also what had happened to her prior to her coming to see you.”

The person’s reference to Lin Xi had turned into “Miss Lin Xi” subconsciously – if Lin Xi was his boss’s child, then she would, indeed, be their Miss.

This document was much more detailed than the one on Lin Yize and Song Kexin. It started from Lin Xi’s birth, from her family life to her school life, including every one of her examination scores. The amount of effort that was put into this document was obvious.

Gu Shao quickly flipped to the very end of it. “Village Zhang?”

“It’s where Song Kexin’s mother grew up. A few days ago, the Lin’s chauffeur took Zhang Cui and Miss Lin Xi to Village Zhang. Zhang Cui left Lin Xi with a relative and returned to City B.

“It’d seem that the Lin family planned to have Miss Lin Xi stay in the village temporarily. What we don’t know was how Lin Xi was able to leave Village Zhang and found you.”

“Is there anything else?” asked Gu Shao.

“This is all we have so far,” replied the man. He thought about some and added, “Village Zhang is quite a bit of distance from City B. It must not have been easy for Miss Lin Xi to reach you.”

His attitude toward this matter surprised Gu Shao. As far as he knew, Wang Wu was not one to express his personal thoughts at work.

-- Wang Wu had gone through all of Lin Xi’s information during the investigation. Most everyone was drawn to a strong and outstanding girl like her. And, from the information, Lin Xi did not have a very happy childhood at the Lin family.

“Okay. I get it,” said Gu Shao before he ended the conversation and returned to the venue.
