Dr. Gu is an old friend of Wye Mun’s whom Wye Mun visits to ask about the Young family. An elderly and cranky old man who’s stuck in his ways, Dr. Gu and Wye Mun became friends decades ago when Dr. Gu refused to sell his house and property to the developer—resulting in a better, more profitable development design for the surrounding area. Dr. Gu knew Dr. James Young a little during World War II, and he shares what he knows about the Young family’s fortune. However, he doesn’t tell Wye Mun that Dr. Young was a great man because of his kindness and compassion, not his money.
