She's come clean; the fake heiress has a ton of aliases.

Chapter 271 Gu Gongming's Stay
Huo Junyan, who had just finished work, taken a shower, and was lying in bed, heard a message on WeChat.

He picked up his phone and saw the message and the document sent by Xu Qi. His eyes were dark and unreadable.

He didn't want to open it, and casually replied—

【Um. 】

He then tossed his phone onto the bedside table.

Then Huo Junyan looked down at his legs, which had lost all feeling.

The scene of Dr. Li giving him acupuncture this afternoon flashed through my mind.

Only his eyebrows and eyes were visible, his gaze extremely serious. His slender and beautiful fingers held the silver needles, searching for acupoints that could stimulate his senses.

Following the order Dr. Li had pressed, Huo Junyan placed his fingertips on an acupoint on his thigh, based on the location he remembered.

He remembered that this was the place that evoked those feelings in him.

In a daze, he seemed to see Dr. Li squatting by the bed, her fair fingers pressing on that spot, looking up at him with her clear eyes.

“Here, do you feel it?”

Huo Junyan looked back into those clear eyes and felt a sense of familiarity. His legs seemed to regain some feeling.

He closed his eyes, then opened them again. Dr. Li by the bedside had disappeared, leaving only a ripple in his heart.

Huo Junyan opened the first drawer of the bedside table and took out the half of the photo that was inside.

He looked up at the Ghost Doctor, who was bowing his head, holding a sunflower, and whose face was still obscured, and a hint of irritation appeared on his face.

He narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Ghost Doctor, are you Dr. Li?"

Only endless silence answered him.

Huo Junyan placed his bony right hand on his forehead and gave a wry smile.

"Am I crazy? Why would I ask about a photo?"

He flipped the photo over and tried to put it back.

Unexpectedly, the moment the photo was flipped over, a mark appeared on the back under the light.

Huo Junyan's expression changed, and he calmly held the photo up to the overhead light. On the lower left corner of the back of the photo were four short words—

"Gu Gongming stayed."

Huo Junyan read those four words aloud, and his deep eyes cleared slightly.

He immediately took out his phone and called Chen Li.

"Secretary Chen, I need you to investigate a man named Gu Gongming for me. Find out who he is and what his relationship is with the Ghost Doctor."

Chen Li was jolted awake by the message in the middle of the night. She recognized the familiar name and felt like she had heard it somewhere before.

"Okay, Mr. Huo, I'll check right away."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Li immediately searched for the name.

The next second, a news article popped up on the webpage, the only one related to Gu Gongming.

When Chen Li clicked on it, she saw news that the Gu family, one of the four major families in City A, had severed ties with their most favored youngest son, Gu Gongming.

This news was published forty years ago!
Back then, the Gu family did not give any reason, but directly removed Gu Gongming, whom they had been grooming as their heir, and kicked him out of the family, severing all ties with him from then on.

Looking at the news, Chen Li muttered to herself, "I wonder if the Gu Gongming that President Huo found is the same person."

If it is this person, the Gu family will definitely erase all information about Gu Gongming, so it won't be so easy to find.

But apart from this person, there probably isn't another Gu Gongming that can be investigated.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Li decided to ask Xia Xing for help.

"Hey, Assistant Xia, do you have any information on the Gu family?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Xing immediately understood Chen Li's purpose.

"Tell me, who did Mr. Huo ask you to investigate?"

Chen Li said in a low voice, "Assistant Xia, I want Gu Gongming's information."
