Chapter 768: Chapter 768: Rely on Yourself

Gu Peng walked into the room, saying, "I saw it."

Hui Zi quickly followed him, "The mother and son you mentioned have been found, but that woman has remarried and has a child with her new husband. As for the child you mentioned, ever since his mother remarried, he’s turned into a neglected wild child, having a tough time surviving. When we found him, he was being beaten by a man who claimed the child had stolen something..."

Gu Peng found a chair and sat down. The room was quite messy, with dishes and bowls left on the table with remnants of food.

Hui Zi noticed his gaze and awkwardly began to explain, but Gu Peng wasn’t interested in listening. He said directly, "I haven’t eaten yet. Get me something to eat."

Hui Zi readily agreed, "Alright, I’ll get Yanzi up to cook you some side dishes and make a bowl of noodles, how about that?"

At the mention of Yanzi, Gu Peng thought of the woman who had clung to him and frowned slightly, "No need for her, just go buy it from outside."

"Alright, how about Qin’s meat buns and a couple of side dishes? Qin’s meat buns are famous in Ancheng County."

Gu Peng nodded. Hui Zi didn’t go himself but ran out to get someone to buy food for Gu Peng. After giving instructions, he returned to the room to chat with Gu Peng.

Qin’s Buns Shop wasn’t far away, and the food was bought and brought back in less than a quarter of an hour.

Gu Peng was really hungry, and not having eaten well on the train, he grabbed a bun and started eating.

By the time he reached the third bun, someone outside called for Hui Zi.

Earlier, while Hui Zi was instructing someone to get the food, he also asked them to bring the child over.

Now the child was here, just outside.

Hui Zi brought the child directly in front of Gu Peng.

A boy of about 10 years old, dark and skinny, with fairly long hair.

It seemed he had been cleaned up after being found, his clothes relatively tidy and clean.

But those black and white eyes were filled with wariness as he looked around and at Gu Peng in front of him.

Gu Peng bit into a bun nonchalantly, looking at the boy.

Especially at his gaze, he couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh from within.

The evil in people is innate, ingrained in their bones.

No matter the different living environments, some people will never develop a kind heart.

They will only selfishly calculate for themselves, doing what benefits them the most, always putting themselves first, even when dealing with family, thinking about the benefits they can get.

Gu Peng noticed his gaze lingering on the buns before him, unable to hide it.

"Want a bun?"

The boy swallowed, looking at Gu Peng without uttering a word. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Gu Peng picked up a bun and tossed it over.

The boy quickly reached out to catch it and then stuffed it into his mouth, eating ravenously, as if afraid Gu Peng might change his mind.

Hui Zi, standing by, angrily knocked him on the head, "You little brat, it’s as if you haven’t eaten in eight lifetimes. I’m the one who brought you here, lacking neither food nor drink. Are you trying to make me look bad in front of the boss?"

Making it seem as if he hadn’t taken care of the child properly.

Hui Zi glanced nervously at Gu Peng, who paid no attention, just watching the boy eat, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

After the boy finished stuffing a bun into his mouth, Gu Peng asked him, "What’s your name, how old are you?"

The boy’s mouth was still full of bun as he replied unclearly, "Sun Gou Dan, 10 years old."

After speaking, he looked again at the buns in front of Gu Peng.
