It turned out that Guo Jiumin, being the youngest child born in old age, wanted to leverage Old Master Guo's affection for him to compete with Guo Jiacheng's father for the position of the Guo Family Patriarch.
At that time, Guo Jiacheng's father and Mr. and Mrs. Ou Zhen Ting were at the border.

Unexpectedly, something went awry mid-way. The child disappeared but did not end up in Guo Jiumin's hands either.
Thus, Guo Jiumin couldn't employ any tactics.
