“I can’t say that I’m familiar with him, I have only a meager impression of the boy,” the old man said with his fingers gently tapping the table.

Gu Juexi stopped drumming his fingers and listened to the old man attentively.

“A few days ago, there was someone who came to me. He told me to answer truthfully if someone asked about Ye Shu. If I knew it was you, I would have told you everything even without him telling me to.”

Gu Juexi looked down, frowning.

“So do you know why Ye Shu left?” Gu Juexi looked up and asked. Although he had already guessed it, he still wanted to ask again, to be sure.

“I can’t remember so clearly now. I vaguely recalled that he was just accepted to a university when his mother was diagnosed with uremia. Back then, the old Yao Lao, I mean San Qi’s father…”

San Qi, that was Master Yao Lao.

“The old Yao Lao had three ‘no treatment’ rules: no treatment for the poor, no treatment for outsiders and no treatment for women. Unfortunately, Ye Shu’s mother ticked all three.”

Gu Juexi’s frown deepened.

“Her admission to the hospital cost them an arm and a leg. I remember Ye Shu would always come with his sister to work temporary jobs like delivering drinking water and other ch.o.r.es for us who lived on this mountain, earning around ten dollars a day. After that, someone came and said they were here to take Ye Shu and his sister away.”

Gu Juexi raised his head in surprise. “Do you still remember what they looked like. the people who took them away?”

The old man waved his hand. “It’s been decades, I have long forgotten. What I remember was that they were from a wealthy family, they came in a nice car.”

Gu Juexi gripped his palms tight into a fist. “Then do you still remember anything that was in the car?”

The old man shook his head again to indicate he didn’t remember.
