Chapter 3169 Shen Tianyu 569

"elder brother!"

Gu Chufan called out.

The person turned around.

He had an exceptionally handsome, perfectly modeled face, exactly like Gu Chufan's, only with a much more aloof and cold demeanor.

It really was Gu Jinzhou.

Gu Chufan took Shi Shi's hand and walked quickly toward Gu Jinzhou.

Standing before the tombstone, Gu Chufan asked, "Brother, why did you suddenly fly to Yuncheng?"

Normally, they would fly over with Chu Ye, Yuan Ping, and others to sweep the tombs of Guo Xu's family during the Qingming Festival.

Gu Jinzhou bent down and wiped the dust off the tombstone with a clean, pure white towel, saying, "Guo Xu suddenly appeared in my dream last night, so I canceled my plans and flew here. Why are you all here too?"

Gu Chufan said, "Master Mao Jun said a few words to me, and I suddenly wanted to come and see Senior Guo Xu, so I came over."

Gu Jinzhou's gaze fell on the photo embedded in the tombstone.

Looking at Guoxu's face, frozen in time, he softened the wiping motion in his hand.

He gently and slowly wiped his black and white face, his brows and eyes solemn.

After a long while, he called out softly, "Ah Xu".

He gave a very slight smile and said to Guoxu's photo, "I suddenly miss you a little, but please don't come back. Go and be reborn. There will be new people and new life experiences waiting for you."

The bodyguard, standing three meters away, opened the bottle cap and handed him the bottle.

Gu Jinzhou took the bottle, poured the liquor on the ground, and said to Guo Xu, "If we are destined to meet again in the future, I will definitely take good care of you."

That drink was amazing.

It dries quickly when poured on the ground.

Gu Jinzhou laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to be such a good drinker."

After finishing the toast, he raised his hand and gave Guo Xu a military salute.

He had never served in the military, nor had he studied it formally. When he was just over a year old, Guoxu's memory was awakened, and he had another awakening a few years ago, but he still gave the general's salute with perfect precision.

Gu Jinzhou looked at Guo Xu's photo in silence for a while, then turned to Gu Chufan and said, "Let's go."

Gu Chuchu nodded. "Have a safe trip, brother."

Gu Jinzhou nodded.

He left his bodyguards behind to protect Gu Chufan and then strode away.

Gu Chufan and Shi Shi bent down and placed the flowers in their hands in front of Guo Xu's tombstone.

Looking at Guo Xu's resolute and heroic face, Gu Chufan said, "Senior..."

He was always very eloquent and could speak fluently in any situation, but he uttered two words and then stammered.

He said again, "Senior, I hope you are well."

Shi Shi looked at Guo Xu's photo and bowed deeply.

She patted Gu Chufan's arm.

Gu Chufan reached out and took her hand, then said to Guo Xu, "Senior, we're getting engaged."

The man in the photo has a handsome, dark face with his lips closed and a solemn expression.

Suddenly, several birds flew over and landed on the tree behind the tombstone.

Those birds had black heads, white bellies, and bluish-purple feathers.

Shi Shi said, "It's a magpie."

The magpies raised their heads and called out loudly a few times.

According to folklore, the call of magpies signifies good fortune.

Gu Chufan looked at the magpies, wondering if it was a coincidence or Guo Xu's consciousness. But Guo Xu's remnant soul was being nurtured in Maoshan, so he shouldn't have that much profound power.

It's hard to explain.

But it actually happened.

Gu Chufan bent down and bowed deeply to the tombstone.

Shi Shi bowed deeply once again.

The phone rang suddenly.

Its sound was especially loud in this solemn cemetery.

The magpies seemed unafraid of people and did not fly away.

Gu Chufan took out his phone. It was Gu Jinzhou calling. "It's almost closing time. Let's go. Don't stay too late."

"it is good."

The two straightened up and turned to walk towards the cemetery exit.

As he walked, Gu Chufan suddenly turned around and glanced in the direction of the tombstone.

The magpies had already landed on Guoxu's tombstone from the tree, some hopping around and others chirping loudly.

Over the years, weathered by wind and rain, the tombstone has long been marked by the passage of time, and a few graceful magpies perch on it.

The thin afterglow of the setting sun fell on the tombstone and the magpie, one still and one in motion, one sorrowful and one joyful.

As they moved further away, Guoxu's photo became indistinct, but thanks to the magpies and the pale golden afterglow, the heavy sorrow lessened, and instead, it seemed to hold a glimmer of hope for new life.

Gu Chufan had many things he wanted to say to Shi Shi, but he didn't know where to begin.

Finally, he remained silent, without uttering a single word.

He simply held Shi Shi's hand even tighter.

There were very few people in the cemetery at this time. As soon as the two of them stepped out of the cemetery gate, the gate was closed.

They arrived by taxi.

Gu Chufan held Shi Shi's hand and went to the roadside to hail a taxi.

Before we even reached the roadside, the door of a long van opened, and the driver got out.

Upon arriving in front of Gu Chufan, the driver respectfully said, "Mr. Fan, Miss Shi, Mr. Zhou, please get in the car."

Gu Chufan looked at the extended van and thought to himself, "This guy bought a car here, is he planning to invest here?"

He took Shi Shi's hand and got into the car.

A seven-seater minivan.

Gu Jinzhou sat in the middle row, working on his laptop.

He stared intently at the computer screen, not turning his head, and said, "Since last year, I have invested in building several schools here, from kindergarten to junior high school, all of which are free for the orphans of martyrs. Of course, not all of them are orphans of martyrs, otherwise they would easily be targeted by drug lords. So far, it is operating smoothly."

Gu Chufan suggested, "Security measures must be strengthened."

"This has been taken into consideration."

"The school's faculty and staff will give priority to the widows of martyrs, and the benefits are generous. This is our small contribution to honoring the fallen heroes." Gu Jinzhou closed his laptop.

It is truly rare to hear the words "a meager contribution" uttered by someone who is usually arrogant and privileged.

Gu Chufan usually donates money and supplies to the orphans and widows of martyrs.

But the older brother came here directly to build a school.

His great-grandfather, Gu Aoting, had a very shrewd eye when he chose him as the group's heir.

Building a school is easy to say but difficult to do; it involves various procedures and, in some places, connections.

It is clearly a project to benefit the people and not to make a profit, but in practice, it faces numerous obstacles.

Gu Jinzhou turned to look at Gu Chufan, "I originally planned to fly back to Kyoto tonight to be with Qingbao and Boyan, but now I've changed my mind. I'll go to the school to see the children tomorrow. Our children are children, and the children of martyrs are also children. Our children can be with their fathers, but those children no longer have fathers."

The words "without a father" moved Gu Chufan deeply.

Shi Shi's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

The next day, the group went to school.

After seeing the children, Gu Jinzhou and Gu Chufan donated another large sum of money, and Shi Shi also donated all her salary since she started working.

Before leaving, Gu Jinzhou said to the principal, "Take good care of the children."

The principal, with a solemn expression, raised his hand and gave him a standard military salute. "Don't worry, General Manager Zhou."

The principal is the son of Guo Xu's comrade-in-arms, an orphan of a martyr, and a retired special forces soldier.

Gu Jinzhou sent someone to find him and offered him a large sum of money.

The principal refused a high salary and only accepted the salary of a regular principal.

An hour later, the Gu brothers and Shi Shi boarded a private plane and flew to Kyoto.

Shi Shi looked at the two brothers.

One is aloof and unapproachable, the other is approachable and handsome.

However, these two sons of immense wealth were not heartless, nor did they indulge in eating, drinking, and merrymaking. While managing their own companies well, they used their resources to help those in need to the best of their ability.

Although they had selfish motives, they could do this much and have a clear conscience.
