Chapter 266 She died a year ago.
He had been following Bai Xuesong for a long time, so he had been helping his master search for his missing daughter.
But now, facing his expectant master, how could Gao Wentao possibly begin? How could he possibly speak to deliver this heartbreaking news?
Gao Wentao knew how heartbroken and devastated his master would be if he knew that his daughter had died eleven years ago.
Gao Wentao looked to the person next to him for help.
The middle-aged man standing next to him is the owner of the largest pharmacy in Beijing.
Although private business was not allowed in this era, the sale of medicine was an exception.
This person was also one of Bai Xuesong's apprentices.
Looking at the way Gao Wentao was looking at him, he knew that Gao Wentao didn't know how to start the conversation.
But he didn't know how to start the conversation. Could he even bring himself to do it?
Thinking this, Guo Futian quickly looked away to avoid Gao Wentao's gaze.
Gao Wentao couldn't help but curse inwardly, "You really are a bastard, making me say such things all by myself."
"Why are you looking at Fukuda? Tell me, Chuxia, have I found my daughter too?" Bai Xuesong's face was displeased, but his voice still contained expectation.
Gao Wentao felt very sad to see his master in this state.
The words were on the tip of my tongue, but I just couldn't bring myself to say them.
Looking at his master, Gao Wentao felt a pang of heartache and could only lower his head, avoiding his master's gaze.
Bai Xuesong has lived a long life, and he can glean a lot from Gao Wentao's actions and expressions.
But he couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe it.
Bai Xuesong suddenly felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained away, and he plopped back down in his chair.
The loud bang indicated that sitting on it was quite painful.
But Bai Xuesong seemed to feel no pain.
Seeing this, Gao Wentao and Guo Futian rushed over to check on the situation with worried expressions.
"Master."
"Master, are you alright?"
Bai Xuesong waved his hand, lowered his head, and tears silently streamed down his face.
One drop, then two drops, landed on his pants.
Bai Xuesong was now certain that his daughter was no longer alive.
Otherwise, those two bastards would definitely have explained it to me.
My own daughter, my own precious daughter... is dead.
Gao Wentao and Guo Futian exchanged a glance, then spoke up to comfort each other.
Before he could say more than a few words, Bai Xuesong sternly kicked him out.
Not daring to disobey their master, the two could only slowly retreat outside the door.
But they dared not actually leave, fearing that their master would not be able to accept the news and something else might happen.
Thinking.
"Why don't you wait here, and I'll go find Chief Lu?" Guo Futian said, nudging Gao Wentao with his elbow as he looked at the closed door.
Gao Wentao nodded.
At this point, perhaps only Master's old friend, Chief Lu, could be of any help.
Guo Futian patted Gao Wentao on the shoulder, "Keep a close eye on Master. I'll be right back."
Guo Futian said this and then hurried away.
He only hoped that when Chief Lu came over, he could comfort his master.
Gao Wentao dared not leave the doorway for a moment, straining his ears to listen to the sounds inside.
"It's all that idiot Fukuda's fault. Why did he have to close the door when he could just come out?" Gao Wentao couldn't help but curse Guo Fukuda in his heart.
Guo Futian, on the other hand, did not dare to delay at all. After leaving Bai Xuesong's courtyard, he hurriedly headed to the military region.
At this time, shouldn't Chief Lu be in Beijing?
After Guo Futian arrived at the military region, he instructed the sentry outside the gate to quickly inform Commander Lu.
Upon hearing that his old friend was in trouble, Chief Lu quickly had his driver take him out.
The old commander of the military region saw Guo Futian.
"You get in the car first, we'll talk in the car."
Guo Futian nodded and quickly got into the car.
Along the way, Guo Futian told Chief Lu everything they had found out.
When Lu Huaqiang first heard that Su Niannian was Bai Xuesong's granddaughter, he was quite happy for his old friend.
As a result, Guo Futian said that Bai Xuesong's biological daughter, Bai Chuxia, had died eleven years ago.
Lu Huaqiang's heart skipped a beat at that moment.
Although he knew that after searching for nineteen years without any news, Bai Xuesong should have been somewhat prepared.
But guessing is one thing, knowing the truth is another.
He could understand how devastated his old friend must be right now.
I'm already thinking about how to persuade them.
The car drove all the way to the courtyard house where Bai Xuesong lived.
When Chief Lu arrived, he saw Gao Wentao waiting outside the door.
"How is your master?" Chief Lu asked.
"He's been inside for almost three hours now," Gao Wentao said to Chief Lu with a worried expression.
"You two go prepare some food and drinks, then bring them over," Chief Lu said, waving his hand at the two men.
The two exchanged a glance, nodded, and then went downstairs to prepare the food and wine.
Chief Lu didn't linger outside the door; he pushed it open and went straight in.
Once inside, I saw my old friend sitting in a chair, his head bowed low.
The setting sun shone through the window, casting its slanting rays upon my old friend.
It gives off a desolate and lonely feeling.
This left Lu Huaqiang feeling very uncomfortable.
Actually, he understands this feeling best.
Then Lu Huaqiang walked over to Bai Xuesong.
"Get out." Bai Xuesong didn't even raise his head, and shouted sternly.
He assumed it was his two scoundrel apprentices who had come in.
"Oh, you've got quite a temper." Lu Huaqiang walked in, ignoring Bai Xuesong's words, and sat down in a chair not far from him.
Bai Xuesong heard Lu Huaqiang's voice but still didn't raise his head.
In those three hours, Bai Xuesong had cried all his tears and was completely exhausted.
"Old man, didn't you expect your daughter to be gone? You should have been mentally prepared long ago."
"If the person is still alive, they should have been found by now, after nineteen years."
"Life and death are predestined, isn't that what you always say? How come you've hit a dead end?"
"In the end, even if your daughter is gone, don't you still have a granddaughter?"
"Are you planning to be buried with your daughter, so that your granddaughter, the first person to find out she has a grandfather like you, will immediately go to your grave?"
As Lu Huaqiang spoke, he crossed his legs.
Since his surgery in Long County, Lu Huaqiang has recovered remarkably well after drinking the spiritual spring water given to him by Su Niannian.
He is in great physical and mental condition.
At this moment, there was absolutely no sign of him recovering from a serious illness.
"Go to hell with visiting graves!" Upon hearing Lu Huaqiang's words, Bai Xuesong raised his head, picked up an apple from the table, and threw it at Lu Huaqiang.
