"Yes. I tried my best. Bai Yiru didn't want to meddle in other people's family affairs, but no one could say whether Simon's killing of her had anything to do with him beating Emilia.

"Thank you, Sister Yiru." Emilia has limited movement and can only turn to outside help, otherwise she will not find anything.

"It's just a partnership, and we don't have to thank each other." After Bai Yiru finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something, and said to Emilia, "Can you help me ask about that badge at your house, when did you lose it?" Or with more news, even better. ”

"I'll go back and inquire." Emilia said a few more words to Bai Yiru, then hurriedly came out of the bathroom, found Anna, and the two left.

Bai Yiru waited for Emilia to walk for a long time before coming out of the bathroom.

"Really, it's not good to meet somewhere, you have to smoke me to death in this kind of place. Young lady, are you alright? Xiao Jiu covered his nose, except for the bathroom, he took a big breath of fresh air, "I want to exhale all the filthy breath in my lungs." ”

"This kind of place is the place that no one cares about the most. If you don't like bad air quality, others will dislike it. Bai Yiru looked at Xiao Jiu with a smile, "Let's go home quickly, Dong Ning should all go back." ”

"Good Lat! Let's go! When Xiao Jiu heard the order, he immediately put into work and sent Bai Yiru home.

Bai Yiru made an appointment with Gu Dongning, met on the tarmac at home, and took a private jet together to Frankfurt to meet Wu Meilan's close friend Tim.

Zhao Qianmo had already agreed with the other party about the meeting time, and was just waiting for Gu Dongning and them to come over.

The group met at the airport, had a quick bite to eat, and drove to Tim's house.

Tim is an old man in his eighties, with gray hair and beard, and he walks a little tremblingly, but he is in a very good mental state, speaks loudly, and is also very enthusiastic about people, especially after hearing about the identities of Gu Dongning and Bai Yiru, he is even more enthusiastic about them.

"Mr. Tim, Lukas is here this time, and there are actually some things I want to consult you." After greeting each other, after sitting for a while, Zhao Qianmo mentioned to Tim the purpose of Gu Dongning's visit.

"What's the matter?" When Tim was young, he was an oil painter, although he was not as famous as Wu Meilan, but he was also a little famous, otherwise Zhao Qianmo would not have called him a teacher.

"Specifically, you can talk to the two of them, I will go first, and I will have the opportunity to visit you again." Zhao Qianmo stood up very consciously, shook hands with Tim, said goodbye first, and left space for Gu Dongning and them.

"Good. We'll see you next time. Tim didn't stand up to see Zhao Qianmo, as he got older, he became more and more unaccustomed to these trivial details.

Bai Yiru took out two seals from his bag and sent them to Tim's hand, "Grandpa, take a look, these two seals, one is grandma's, and the other is the name on it, do you know it?" ”

"I don't know Chinese, but I probably know if the name on it is 'Hu Wanyun'?" Tim flipped the seal over and looked at it.

"Yes. It's called 'Hu Wanyun', what is the relationship between this person and her grandmother? Bai Yiru asked eagerly, Tim really knew something about seals.

"Sister."

"Sister?!"

As soon as Tim's words fell, Gu Dongning and Bai Yiru shouted in surprise.

Bai Yiru covered her heart and turned her head to look at Gu Dongning, the expression on her face became more and more ugly, and Gu Dongning was also so beautiful.

Gu Dongning pressed the sofa cushion under her with both hands, Hu Wanyun and her grandmother are sisters, so if Bai Yiru and Hu Wanyun have any blood relationship, wouldn't she be brother and sister? ! How can this be?!

His thoughts are also Bai Yiru's thoughts.

"Dong Ning......" Bai Yiru's eyes were red, and she shouted Gu Dongning in a trembling voice, but she couldn't say a word.

Tim, who looked down at the seal, did not notice the change in the relationship between the other two, and continued to himself: "I remember that I saw this Hu Wanyun, she is Sophia's sworn sister......"

"You said it earlier!"

Gu Dongning and Bai Yiru spoke in unison, and they all held their hearts, this Tim broke the sentence so out of place, he almost scared people to death!

"Am I not saying? Interrupt me, it's you, not me. Tim glanced at Gu Dongning and Bai Yiru lightly.

"Yes. Be. The look on Gu Dongning's face finally eased, and for the first time, he smiled and spoke to a stranger he met for the first time, and his tone was not so hard, "Then you go on, we will listen this time, and we will not interrupt you." ”

"The two of them have a good relationship, they have known each other since they were children, and they have been apprenticed to the same teacher together, and they have been painting Chinese since elementary school. But it's a pity that after they got married, they were all entangled in family trivialities, and their husband's family didn't let them paint anymore, saying that they were not doing their jobs. Tim said this, and couldn't help but feel sorry, "It is precisely because of this that Sophia gave up her family in order to paint, was kicked out of the house by her husband, and never went back." ”

"I know this, I've heard my mother talk about it. We mainly want to know about Hu Wanyun. Gu Dongning reminded Tim not to digress, and wondered why the other party couldn't stop when he mentioned his grandmother.

"Aren't they sisters? Can you say it separately? Tim was a little unhappy, he pursued Sophia all his life, so that he never married, and he didn't wait for people to accept his feelings, and he couldn't recall them now!

"It's okay, grandpa, you say, don't care about Lukas, he's just anxious, nothing else." Bai Yiru hurriedly came out to play a round, and signaled Gu Dongning not to speak again.

Not long after Sophia was kicked out, she learned that Hu Wanyun was worse than her. Hu Wanyun married the patriarch of the Schultz family, and the people in the clan were not happy with her painting, she didn't want her husband to be embarrassed, so she took the initiative to give up painting, promised not to hold a paintbrush again for the rest of her life, and burned all her works and painting tools, and gave birth to a daughter half a year later. But she had a hemorrhage in childbirth, and as soon as the child was born, she died. ”

"Hu Wanyun is the wife of the patriarch of the Schultz family? So what is her relationship with Simon? Bai Yiru frowned, since Hu Wanyun was from the Schultz family, why did her seal come to her?

"Hu Wanyun is the wife of Simon's second uncle, not long after she died in childbirth, Simon's second uncle also died with her. In fact, they are still very affectionate, but the pressure in the family is too great, so Hu Wanyun gave up painting, and Simon's second uncle has always felt ashamed of his wife. Tim said this, and couldn't help but wet his eyes with some emotion, "If Hu Wanyun didn't die so early and didn't give up painting, her fame would definitely not be less than Sophia's, and her ability was better than Sophia's at that time." ”

"Grandpa, do you know more about Hu Wanyun?" Bai Yiru asked.

"I don't know. I know her a little better, but it's just because I have a good relationship with Sophia, and I don't know Hu Wanyun herself. Tim shook his head.

"What about the daughter born to Hu Wanyun?" Gu Dongning asked Tim again, as far as he knew, in the past three generations of the Schultz family, there was only one girl, and the rest were all sons.

"I don't know." Tim returned the seal to Bai Yiru, "After Simon's second uncle died, no one knew where that daughter had gone, and no one had ever heard about it again. ”

"Oh." Bai Yiru nodded, and took out the badge to Tim again, "Grandpa, this badge belongs to the Schultz family, have you ever seen anyone in their family take this?" ”

"I'll take a look first." Tim pushed his reading glasses and said to Gu Dongning, "Give me the magnifying glass behind you." ”

Gu Dongning took the box from the back of the sofa, opened it, took a magnifying glass and handed it over.

Tim had a magnifying glass and held up his badge to look at it carefully for a few moments.

"This is a royal issue, and there are only three in total." Gu Dongning gave Tim a rough idea of the badge.

"Among the ancestors of the Schultz family, there are people who have served in the army. This badge was originally in the hands of Hu Wanyun's husband, because it was to be passed on to the patriarch and passed down from generation to generation, but I don't know later. By the way, how did their badge get into your hands? "Although Tim is not the young master of the big family, the conditions of his family are not bad, so he still knows some of the habits of the big family here, such as the things that are to be passed down in the family will only be passed on to the patriarch, and no one else is qualified.

"Borrowed." Gu Dongning said casually.

Tim nodded, "That's all I know, the rest is not clear." ”

"Do you know that there are other people who may know Hu Wanyun, or know her better?" Gu Dongning asked Tim again.

Tim thought for a moment before he slowly spoke: "There is a person like this, named Thomas, who is the secretary of Second Uncle Simon. Later, after Simon's father took control of the family, he threw himself into Simon's father's door. Thomas had a son, and he was not happy to follow him to work for the nobles, so he opened his own detective agency, and I asked him for help, but I forgot what it was called. ”

"Is it called Ben?"

"Seems to be." Tim listened to the name Gu Dongning said, and roughly recalled it, and eighty out of eight were sure that it was this name.

"And where is Thomas now?" Bai Yiru opened his mouth and asked again.

"Working at the horse farm, Simon has a horse farm, and when I went horseback riding two years ago, he was still working there, and he was the head of the horse farm."

"Wow, grandpa, you're so good, you can still ride a horse." Bai Yiru was completely surprised, Tim was over eighty years old, and he was at least eighty years old in the first two years, and he could still ride a horse.

"It's just fun to walk on a horse, where can you really ride and run." Tim yawned as he spoke, tilted his head and fell asleep.

Bai Yiru looked back at Gu Dongning funny.

"Let's go." Gu Dongning stood up and was about to leave, "When people are old, they doze off a lot, and many times a day, they sleep when they want to." ”

"Are you the same when you're old?" Bai Yiru sat in a wheelchair and looked at the green grass and red flowers in front of her with a smile.

"If I live to be Tim's age, I will." Gu Dongning thought that after he was old, he still had Bai Yiru by his side, and he unconsciously showed a little smile on his face.

"We don't want to live too long, but we must never give up." Bai Yiru didn't want to live a long life, but she just hoped that when she was alive, she could be with her beloved, with someone as a companion, someone to talk to, and someone to bask in the sun together.

"Well, I will definitely not give up." Gu Dongning nodded, never abandoned, life and death depended on each other, he didn't want much.

After returning to Düsseldorf from Frankfurt, Gu Dongning instructed Ah Qi to go to the horse farm mentioned by Tim to find Thomas.

Ah Qi soon came back and said that Thomas no longer worked at the racecourse, and one day Thomas suddenly disappeared from the racecourse, and no one knew where he had gone.

"Now go see Ben." Gu Dongning listened to Ah Qi's words and immediately set off to see Ben.

Now that everything has come full circle, it has returned to Ben, and Gu Dongning has to go to meet him.

Ben was locked up in a small room, and he had been forced to confess by Amu before, so he had some wounds on his body, but he would rather be injured than say a word.

Ah Qi pushed open the door, Gu Dongning walked in, and looked condescendingly at Ben who was lying on the wire bed.

Ben Wushen's gaze turned and said to Gu Dongning, "Are you going to ask me in person?" Forget it, don't ask, just take my life. Anyway, if you asked, I wouldn't have said. ”

"Because your father was controlled by Simon, and became a condition to threaten you, you plan to die without confessing to the things he did? And make up the story that Yiru's mother is your enemy? Gu Dongning raised his eyebrows and looked at Ben.

"You've been looking for my father?" Ben suddenly sat up and looked at Gu Dongning with a complicated gaze.

"Hmm." Gu Dongning nodded unabashedly, "Your father, who is Simon's father's secretary, is now working at the horse farm, but one day he suddenly disappeared, isn't it strange?" ”

"He's gone, but isn't he being controlled by Simon?" Ben explained simply, "My father is not a threat to me, I don't tell you the truth, and I have nothing to do with my father, nor do I have anything to do with Simon. ”

"So, your father is still outside?" After Gu Dongning asked faintly, he turned around and gave an order to Ah Qi, "Go and ask Amu to find Ben's father, since Simon doesn't want this hostage, then I, Gu Dongning, will use it." ”

"Okay, young master, I'll inform Amu now." Ah Qi said that he was in a hurry to call Amu.

Gu Dongning looked back at Ben again, "If you find your father, will you recruit everything?" ”

Ben's face had already changed not very well when Gu Dongning told Ah Qi to arrest his father, and when he heard the other party ask him like this, he didn't rush to answer anything.

"Tell me about Hu Wanyun." Gu Dongning sat down on the chair, crossed his legs, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and said to Ben calmly.

"I don't know."

"Then you came to steal Wu Meilan's seal, what are you trying to cover up?"

"I don't understand what you're saying." Ben didn't expect that Gu Dongning already knew that he had asked someone to steal the seal on Ning Keyan's body.

"Hu Wanyun and Wu Meilan are sworn sisters, you sent someone to steal Wu Meilan's seal, because Hu Wanyun also has an identical seal. Since you know that Hu Wanyun has a seal, you still don't know about her? Gu Dongning's tone at this moment suddenly became a little colder, and his eyes fell on Ben's face with a slight threat, "If you cooperate, we can discuss everything, if you still don't say anything, then I'm afraid it's ......."

"I said I don't know." Ben didn't wait for Gu Dongning to finish speaking, and interrupted him, "I really don't know about Hu Wanyun. ”

"Ah Qi, sue Sù Amu, find Thomas, pick and break his hamstring first." Gu Dongning glanced at Ben, didn't say anything about his words, and only instructed Ah Qi.

Ah Qi nodded in agreement, took out the phone, and as soon as he called Amu's name, Ben shouted loudly: "Don't do this yet." Don't say it yet. ”

Ah Qi looked at Gu Dongning, waiting for his young master to speak.

"Then give Ben a chance first, and see if he is satisfied with his answer, if he is not satisfied, if he is not satisfied, we will add another one, and it is not too late to scrap Tesuji together." Gu Dongning's tone of voice was as if he was saying that if you buy a piece of rice, you need to buy a stir-fry dish as naturally and naturally.

Ben waited until Ah Qi put away the phone before he said with some unsteady breath: "I really don't know much, and I really can't tell you the reason why Simon killed Bai Yiru." But my father can sue you. ”

Gu Dongning shook his upturned feet and motioned for Ben to continue.

"My mother, wife, and children are now in Simon's hands, and the last time you caught me, he was afraid that I would betray him, so when he brought me back, he accused my family and threatened me with my life for him. If I sue you for something, he'll kill all my family. Ben was also very angry when he said that, regretting why he had followed Simon for money in the first place, "I promptly told my father Simon to arrest my family and let him run away for his life." I don't know the specific location, you go to look for it, you will definitely be able to find it, and after you find it, I will tell him what I said today, and let him tell you the truth. But don't bring him to meet me, and don't let him tell me the truth. My family, I want to save them all. ”

"Ah Qi, after finding Thomas, first confirm whether what Ben said is true, if there is half a lie, kill his whole family." Gu Dongning stood up suddenly, and said ruthlessly, Ben chased and killed Bai Yiru so many times, and almost lost his life several times, even if his whole family died, it was not enough to compensate for the damage caused to Bai Yiru.

"Yes. Master. Ah Qi followed Gu Dongning's footsteps to leave.

The process of finding Thomas was a bit tortuous and difficult, and it took a lot of trouble to find it.
