Gu Ruoyun left the servants behind and went straight to Gu Jianbin's study.
She had looked for all the places her father might have left things, she remembered, but still she found nothing.
Strange, where would he put it?
She had even looked for the secret cabinet.
Did his uncle not leave it with his father? It was on his own side.
That's not right! She remembered that they mentioned this when they were talking. At that time, Gu Jianlin specifically warned her father to keep it safe, because once it was lost, he would lose a lot of things.
Gu Ruoyun almost rummaged through the entire study room.
She pushed open the last drawer, feeling disappointed.
”Knock, knock, knock …” The sudden knock on the door scared Gu Ruoyun out of her wits.
”Who?” she asked in a trembling voice.
If it was her father, he would definitely beat her to death if he knew the purpose of her return. But when he thought about it, it was impossible. This was his father's own study. There was no reason for him to knock on the door.
Sure enough, the servant's voice came from outside.
”Miss, would you like to stay for dinner? I told the kitchen to prepare the dishes. ”
Gu Ruoyun covered her beating heart and said: ”No need, I'll be leaving in a while.”
The sound of footsteps from outside the door gradually came closer, then it quickly returned to normal.
Gu Ruoyun let out a sigh of relief. When she withdrew her gaze from the study room, the corner of her eyes was attracted by something.
Beside the door, a landscape painting had appeared out of nowhere.
In the past, she always came to her father's study to play, and she had also personally closed the door to prevent anyone from entering. But she never seemed to notice when there was a painting here.
Maybe it was his father who had gotten the famous ink from somewhere, or maybe it was a gift from someone else.
However, Gu Ruoyun became more and more curious.
She walked past and pulled the painting apart.
Indeed! A mark appeared on the back of the painting. There seemed to be a hidden compartment on the wall. She was suddenly overjoyed. The thing she wanted must be inside.
She pulled open the secret compartment, and sure enough, there was a confidential file inside.
With trembling hands, he opened the file and saw a few large words written on the front — Mighty Martial Hall Archives.
He finally found it! Gu Ruoyun was extremely excited, so she put it into her bag. He opened the door and walked out.
When he reached the gate, he bumped into his mother.
”Hey, Little Lin'er, when did you come back? I don't know if I should tell mom. ” Mother Gu was naturally very happy to see her daughter return.
However, Gu Ruoyun was anxious to do something else, ”Mom, I'll be back to get some things, we still need to hurry back.”
”Child, you've come already, aren't you going to stay for a meal!?” How could Gu Mu bear to do that?
However, Gu Ruoyun had more important things to do. In her eyes, her love was the most important thing. As for everything else, he could leave everything else aside for now.
She looked at the time. It was about time. Dad would be back soon. At this time, if he didn't leave now, he was afraid that he would be discovered.
”Mom, Ye Han has a fever, I have to rush back.”
”Ah?” So it's like that! Well, go back. I remember, I'll come back and take a look when I have time. ”
