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

Chapter 277 Gu Gongming's Daughter
“I found out that Gu Gongming was once the most favored youngest son of the Gu family and was groomed to be the family heir.”

"But forty years ago, he fell in love with a woman and, disregarding everyone's advice, voluntarily gave up his status as the family heir, determined to break with the family."

"It caused quite a stir at the time. The Gu family was so angry that they announced they would never have anything to do with him again. But Gu Gongming didn't care at all. He went to another place with that woman and disappeared without a trace."

Although Huo Junyan had not witnessed that incident, he had heard about it from his grandmother.

Ignoring everything, Gu Gongming left the Gu family in a fit of anger, causing a major blow to the Gu family at the time. The group almost collapsed and was divided up by major companies in City A.

Therefore, fearing they would perish in City A, the Gu family shifted the company's business focus overseas.

While the city of A appears to be dominated by four major families, the Gu family's focus has long since shifted away from A, leaving only an empty shell behind.

Huo Junyan never expected that Gu Gongming was the culprit who caused such a heavy blow to the Gu family.

He looked at Chen Li, "What about the others?"

Chen Li continued to produce documents, “Although Gu Gongming has disappeared on the surface, I found out that after he left the Gu family, he married that woman in City C and settled down. Two years later, he had a daughter with that woman.”

"However, that woman died after giving birth to her daughter due to complications during childbirth."

She then produced another document, stating, "After Gu Gongming held his wife's funeral, he took his daughter back to City A."

"Hmm?" Huo Junyan frowned, looking at her with suspicion. "He's gone back to the Gu family again?"

Chen Li shook her head. "No, he didn't go back to the Gu family; he truly disappeared."

Huo Junyan said in a deep voice, "Disappeared again?"

Chen Li nodded, "Yes, someone deliberately erased all traces of his existence, making it seem as if he disappeared into thin air."

Huo Junyan glanced at the document in her arms, his dark eyes fixed on it.

Chen Li noticed his gaze and quickly placed the last document in front of him with both hands.

"President Huo, Gu Gongming didn't just disappear. We finally heard from him two years ago."

Huo Junyan lowered his eyes to the last document and reached out to open it. He quickly skimmed through it, finishing reading all the contents in no time.

As he read the last line of text, his dark eyes suddenly darkened.

Two years ago, Gu Gongming died suddenly in City A.

The icy voice sounded like it had been chilled to the bone.

Chen Li nodded with difficulty. "President Huo, the next time we heard from Gu Gongming was when he died suddenly and was buried in the cemetery in the south of City A."

Huo Junyan pinched the bridge of his nose, his voice low and deep, "What about his daughter?"

Chen Li pursed her lips. "President Huo, I have a bold idea about that daughter, but I just arranged for someone to investigate. We may need some more information to confirm her identity."

Huo Junyan's expression was cold and stern. "Hmm."

The next second, Chen Li's phone rang.

Huo Junyan glanced at her indifferently.

Chen Li immediately raised her phone, saw the name on the caller ID, and hurriedly said, "President Huo, the person who went to investigate is calling. They must have found it."

Huo Junyan nodded. "I'll take it."

Chen Li pressed the answer button and turned on the speakerphone.

"Hey, have you found out anything?"

The sound of the other person breathing heavily came through.

"Secretary Chen, I've found it, and it matches your guess!"

The breathing gradually subsided, and each word came through clearly.

"Gu Gongming's daughter is Gu Chuxin!"
