Lu Zhengqian looked at her with heartache: "Who told you to be my daughter? Too many men with ulterior motives have tried to get close to you."
Gan Tang looked up, trying to see Lu Zhengqian's expression clearly. She was just testing him; could it really be him? But why? Was it something to be proud of for his woman to be taken by his subordinate?
Gan Tang cried in his arms for a while longer, only letting him go when she was sure he wouldn't harm Mo Huaixing. According to Lu Zhengqian, they needed people now, and he would give her an explanation later.
These words chilled Gan Tang to the bone, as if he had already confirmed that Mo Huaixing was an undercover agent and was just waiting for the final, fatal blow. She suppressed the panic in her heart and looked downstairs again. Mo Huaixing was hanging in the courtyard.
Yes, the death penalty may be avoided, but punishment is inescapable.
Ali personally carried out the punishment, lashing Mo Huai fifty times. The location was best seen from Gan Tang's room. As for Su Su, she was unaware of the punishment.
Under the current circumstances, they couldn't meet again. Lu Zhengqian had Zhao Ji protect her closely, and she dared not make any rash moves to find him. Mo Huaixing had changed his phone number, and she had lost all contact with him.
The snow fell heavier and heavier, covering the entire Qinglong Bay in a silvery blanket, the chill penetrating to the bone and into the heart.
The blooming violets, after only a few days, succumbed to the chill and withered on the wall. A pale-faced man stood inside the wall; a gust of wind blew, and a fallen petal slid down his cheek. Mo Huaixing reached out to catch it, but the petal slipped through his fingers and fell to the ground.
He had promised to take her home, but he ultimately broke his promise.
...
With the day Lu Zhengqian was to ship the goods drawing ever closer, everything depended on tacit understanding. For Gan Tang, the most crucial matter was how to release He Zhong.
However, before Gan Tang even approached him, he contacted her first.
That day, the young lady, still heartbroken, sat on the living room sofa watching a melodramatic fantasy drama, tears streaming down her face as she watched.
Su Su walked over and said sarcastically, "Miss, you can't even save your life, and you're still sad."
"What do you mean?" Gan Tang looked at her coldly.
Su Su looked around and, seeing that the servants were not there, whispered in Gan Tang's ear, "Fourth Master wants to see you."
Gan Tang was stunned for a moment, then said angrily, "You actually dared to contact a traitor behind your father's back."
After saying that, he coldly pushed her away, got up and left.
"Young Miss." Su Su blocked her way and whispered in her ear again, "If you don't go, I'll tell Mr. Fu that you're not his biological daughter."
Gan Tang looked at Su Su in shock. She hadn't expected that Su Su would discover this secret that no one had ever suspected.
"You're crazy!" Gan Tang still held onto a sliver of hope, pushed her aside, and left.
Su Su staggered to her feet and asked urgently, "What do you think I went to the hospital for that day?"
Gan Tang turned around and looked at her coldly.
"I can tell at a glance how many surgeries I've had on my face and whether people look alike." Su Su revealed a disdainful smile and slapped Gan Tang's cheeks again and again. "No wonder she reacted so strongly that day, she was an imposter."
That evening, before Lu Zhengqian returned, Gan Tang led Zhao Ji aggressively to the secret room where He Zhong was being held. Outside the secret room was only an iron door and a window the size of an A4 sheet of paper, blocked by iron bars.
"He Zhong, you're the one who sent Su Su to seduce Mo Huaixing, aren't you?" Gan Tang grabbed a whip and lashed it at the window. The iron bars blocked the whip, and Gan Tang glared angrily at Zhao Ji, "Open the door! Open it!"
"It can't be opened. Mr. Fu gave the order, and I don't have the key either. The key is with Mr. Fu." The people at the door didn't dare to stop her and let Miss in, but they couldn't stop the people who followed her in. Mr. Fu wouldn't let her off the hook.
Gan Tang reached for the iron railing, but accidentally cut her hand on the edge—or rather, she cut it on purpose.
Zhao Ji hurriedly grabbed Gan Tang's hand, "Miss, you're bleeding. We need to go back and get it treated right away. It's all rust."
"I haven't finished asking yet!" Gan Tang angrily pushed him away and lashed out with her whip again.
Blood flowed down his wrist, more and more. This was Mr. Fu's precious daughter; everyone knew how much she was treasured. Zhao Ji dared not delay and hurriedly went out to find a doctor.
Standing behind the window, He Zhong watched Zhao Ji leave and sneered, "Niece, she's gone, and you're still putting on an act!"
Thinking of this secret, He Zhong sighed, "Mo Huaixing is really amazing. He can reshape the chess piece that I ruined into such an important one."
“No one is as capable as Fourth Uncle. Even locked up here, he can still strategize and plan.” Gan Tang lowered her hand from the whip. Time was of the essence, and she didn’t have time for pleasantries, asking directly, “What do you want to do?”
He Zhongdao said, "If you help me kill Fu Yuanshan, you will be my greatest contributor when I regain control of the Green Dragon Gang."
"Do you have that ability?" Gan Tang was speechless: "Stop talking nonsense, the person will be back soon!"
He Zhong was speechless after being rebuked and gave up his unrealistic fantasy: "Let me out, and I'll leave with the secret. Be quick, Fu Yuanshan suspects that Su Su has contacted me."
Gan Tang retorted, "Wouldn't it be simpler if I killed you and Su Su?"
He Zhong wasn't afraid at all. "Go ahead and try."
Gan Tang looked away, and even in such a tense moment, she still asked him, "Did you orchestrate the incident between Su Su and Mo Huaixing?"
"Why would I design that thing?" He Zhong said with disgust, his hair steaming. "It's obvious that my brother doesn't want you to get too close to Mo Huaixing. As for using Su Su, that's because he's had his fill of her. But Su Su is someone I gave him, and he's worried that if he deals with her directly, it will make my former subordinates panic, so he devised this scheme."
"Okay, I promise you." Seeing that Zhao Ji would be back soon, Gan Tang asked directly, "How can I let you out? I won't steal the key. Dad is too cautious. I can only cover your departure."
He Zhong agreed: "I'll have Su Su steal the key."
"Okay, I'll set a time and let Susu know." Gan Tang suddenly looked at He Zhong and asked curiously, "Why does Susu listen to you so much?"
He Zhong looked disgusted: "Sigh, she's still dreaming. Help me keep her quiet."
Gan Tang asked again, "Even after you left, she still knows my secret?"
He Zhong promised, "Don't worry, I will help you deal with her."
"good!"
Seeing the door to the secret chamber rattle, Gan Tang lashed the iron gate with her whip and turned to leave. Zhao Ji arrived with the doctor and hurriedly chased after the young lady.
High up in the building, Su Su looked at Gan Tang, who was surrounded by people, and sneered: "I'll let you be so powerful for a few more days. Once He Zhong helps me get rid of Fu Cheng, I'll see how I deal with you and that bitch Lin Shuang."
