It's just a bit more troublesome in China; the application process is too slow.

The two were chatting about the prosperous era when a paper crane flew in through the window.

An Wei was used to it; having followed her boss for so long, she was already accustomed to her various supernatural methods.

[Arrested, be careful.]

"So fast?"

Gu Zuozuo didn't take it seriously at first, but who knew that the parents would come to her door that afternoon.

Gu Zuozuo stood behind the vermilion gate, looking at the much older Gu family couple outside with a complicated expression.

"Gu Zuozuo, I know you're home. Open the door! What have you done to Qianqian?"

The door was pounded on loudly, and the sharp noises from outside made her ears hurt.

"You wanted to see me?"

Seeing the door open, Xie Jingyao rushed in and raised her hand to slap someone.

Gu Zuozuo's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and her entire demeanor changed instantly. She grabbed Xie Jingyao's hand and exerted force. With a crack, her arm broke and went limp, followed by her scream.

Gu Zuozuo picked her up and threw her directly at the stunned Gu Tingye, her expression icy.

"I have a bad temper. If you don't want to get beaten up, behave yourself and don't do anything stupid!"

Gu Zuozuo concealed her trembling hands without showing any emotion, pretending nothing was wrong, but a sharp pain pierced her heart, causing her lips to lose some color and become pale and weak.

This was the last bit of consciousness left by the original owner, but she never expected that it would be shattered by Xie Jingyao's slap. She also never expected that she would be affected by her.

"Was Qianqian's arrest your doing? Otherwise, why would she have been arrested?"

Gu Zuozuo stared at the couple for a moment, and finally burst out laughing.

Laugh at your own idiocy, laugh at the original owner's delusions.

"Remember that man who let you escape, bought you time, and ultimately died a gruesome death? Hahaha, he didn't die for you; he was the real mastermind behind that attack! And he didn't die at all; he took your research results to the United States!"

However, she has now been captured by the Bureau of Foreign Affairs and secretly sent back to China for interrogation; otherwise, she would not have told the couple this directly.

Gu Tingye and the other man were dumbfounded, looking at her with expressions that said, "Are you crazy?", as if she were talking about something out of the blue!

"What nonsense are you spouting? Have you lost your mind?"

"What? You don't believe me? Do you know why your daughter died? Because your beloved goddaughter, whom you cherished so much, used someone else to kill your daughter!"

She never expected that the original owner's death was actually related to that woman.

From her scheme to kill the original owner of the body, to her father faking his death to save the Gu family couple and arousing their pity and guilt, to her attempts to play the victim and reminisce about the past, and finally being recognized as their goddaughter by the remorseful Gu family couple, it was all a series of interconnected schemes, all for the sake of the Gu family's astonishing wealth.

Not only Zhu Qian, but also her parents were part of this plan, and they didn't even have the surname Zhu, but rather the surname Gu!

Their branch was separated from the main branch in their early years. After their family fortune was squandered, they asked Grandpa Gu for help. However, Grandpa Gu had already handed over his family fortune in the early years to support the revolution, so he had no money to give them extra.

It is said that you can guard against anything but a thief within your own family. No one expected that they, who were already desperate, would make contact with another branch of the family. The two sides hit it off and decided to get the location of the treasure from the main branch so that they could take action.

Only the original owner was the one who was actively abandoned by both parties from beginning to end.
