Gan Mingyi hurriedly said, "It wasn't me. When I saw that guy surnamed Chen, I wanted to punch him into a pulp. How could I possibly tell him about this?"
Gan Mingli frowned, recalling the events of that day:
"Chen Danian did come to ask me that day, but he told me directly that he already knew that ice could be made with saltpeter. What he wanted to know was how to make non-toxic ice."
Therefore, the news had indeed been leaked long ago.
Gan Tian bit her lip, on the verge of tears, and looked at Gan Li with urgent expression, saying, "Mother, I would never tell!"
Looking at it from all angles, it seems that she is the most likely person to leak the secret, after all, she and Chen Danian have a father-daughter relationship.
But she really didn't!
"Of course I know you don't."
Gan Li patted her hand reassuringly before turning to the Gan brothers and saying seriously:
"I believe not only in Tian Tian, but also in all of you."
Upon hearing this, the Gan brothers breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes filled with emotion as they looked at their little sister.
Gan Li then changed the subject: "But the news about Chen Danian was probably spread by our family members most of the time."
The Gan brothers' expressions, which had just relaxed, tightened again, but they couldn't refute Gan Li's words.
Only their family knows about this, or even just the two of them. They've been busy helping their younger sister with her business lately and haven't been out much. Excluding the possibility of them letting it slip to outsiders, it's just that the people around them might know a little bit.
Gan Mingli said, "I don't know if your sister-in-law knows, but she worked with me at the docks those two days and didn't stay home alone—"
He paused for a moment, then blurted out, "But my sister-in-law, she stayed home alone for two days!"
After Gan Mingli finished speaking, he subconsciously looked at his younger brother, his face full of worry, afraid that his brother would think he was shirking responsibility and get angry.
Ganli and Gantian also turned to look at him at the same time.
Upon hearing this, Gan Mingyi was stunned, as if struck by lightning, and remained speechless for a long time before finally managing to speak to Gan Li with difficulty:
“Your second sister-in-law did ask me about the method of making ice several times. I thought about what you said, that the news that ice making is related to saltpeter would not be kept secret sooner or later, and even if I knew that saltpeter was related to ice making, I might not be able to make it. So I was careless and casually told her about it.”
The Sun family?
Ganli raised an eyebrow slightly, not at all surprised by the result.
