"Okay. I promise you. I have to help, even if it's just for Grandpa and Grandma's sake."
"If those bastards from the second branch are really the culprits who framed the Gu family and sent them to the countryside, I will not let them off the hook."
Fortunately, Yu Youtian is a grateful person who doesn't collude with the shameless people from the second wife's family.
This time, she will protect her and ensure she has a worry-free life.
Even if they get divorced, Grandpa Gu wouldn't kick her out; she'd just stay in the Gu family under a new identity.
Given how much Grandpa Gu likes Yu Youtian, it would be nice to recognize her as his goddaughter.
There's no need to worry about awkwardness then, since the second wife will probably no longer care about the family by then.
He also wanted to escape Willow Village and live a better life elsewhere.
There are only two options.
Either go to Taiwan or go to Hong Kong.
In his past life, he caused Gu Sinian such a miserable fate, losing his beloved grandparents. In this life, he still wants to escape and leave. What kind of pipe dream is he having?
Today she finally understands why the second wife disappeared in her past life; it seems she fled to Taiwan or went to Hong Kong.
It seems that Gu Sinian's great-uncle is no ordinary person. "From today onwards, you keep a close eye on Gu Sihan. I will cover all the expenses."
You have to pay for the travel expenses to follow him, otherwise how can you find out what bad things Gu Sihan is doing?
He pulled out a handful of ten-yuan notes from his bag and placed them directly into Yu Youtian's hand.
"Take this money. If it's not enough, go to the educated youth settlement and ask me for it."
How could Yu Youtian accept her money? She agreed to help not for her sake, but for Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu's.
"I can't keep this money, you can take it back."
Su Ying didn't take it, but pushed the money into her pocket. "A woman shouldn't have money after a divorce. Consider this a small token of my appreciation. You and Gu Sihan are husband and wife, so you're more useful than anyone else when it comes to these things."
"Those who are near the water get the moon first."
After the divorce, she was penniless and couldn't get by, so she shamelessly accepted the money, planning to repay it later when she had the chance.
"Don't worry, I'll keep a close eye on Gu Sihan for you. I'll notify you at the educated youth settlement if anything happens."
"good."
The two were chatting happily when suddenly the door opened. Gu Sinian felt a little uncomfortable seeing a woman suddenly in his room.
"My sister-in-law is here too? I thought only Yingying was here, so I didn't knock. I hope I didn't disturb you?"
"No, no. I didn't disturb you. I was just chatting with Yingying. You two keep talking, I'll head back now."
Yu Youtian left Gu Sinian's room with her hands full of White Rabbit milk candies.
Although Su Ying was a little annoyed that her conversation had been interrupted, she and Yu Youtian had almost finished talking, so she decided to leave.
"How did your conversation with Grandpa go?"
"That's good. Why did she come to see you?"
"That's not important. What's important is whether that person is really your great-uncle?"
"That's right. It was him... Back then, to avoid being held accountable, he abandoned his newborn son and my great-aunt."
"Because of the sensitive nature of her identity, the entire Gu family was implicated. My grandfather was suspended from his job and investigated, and my grandmother also lost her job. It caused quite a stir at the time."
"In addition, since my grandfather was a founding general, the investigation of traitors naturally affected him."
Su Ying was shocked and a little stunned. She never imagined that Gu Sinian's great-uncle was a traitor.
Which side is he on?
"The guy from Taiwan, a major general, was infiltrating an important department of our army. He was captured the year he escaped and disappeared without a trace, leaving my great-aunt to face all the war."
Scumbag.
That's really awful.
Having done something wrong, and unable to face reality, she pushed her lover into it. One can only imagine how desperate Gu Fangfei must have been to take a large amount of tranquilizers and end her life, leaving behind a newborn child.
The child is Gu Fangfei's only bloodline, so it's perfectly normal for Grandpa Gu to take him back and raise him.
The child's father fled, leaving behind such a mess. Because of her own actions, her brother was implicated, so death was probably the only option left for her...
"But it's not the Gu family's fault either. Why did your Grandpa Gu take all his anger out on the Gu family, trying to kill everyone in them?"
"This is exactly what I don't understand. Grandpa helped that beast raise his child, yet he still treats the Gu family like this. It's simply repaying kindness with enmity."
Su Ying pursed her lips, "So, are you going to tell your Second Uncle Gu his true identity?"
"No need. They've been in cahoots for thirteen years, and Gu Yuanming isn't exactly innocent either. Revealing their identities prematurely will only alert them, let him escape, and make it harder to catch him later."
Su Ying was shocked to learn that Shen Jiachen was an undercover agent from Taiwan. He must have some skill to have managed to remain on the run in this land for so long.
That's amazing.
He truly lives up to his rank of Major General.
Their counter-surveillance capabilities are top-notch. Now that they're involved with the second wife, it worries her a lot. Fortunately, she has also trained an undercover agent to deal with them.
Yu Youtian, don't let me down. You're a descendant of martyrs, you'll definitely be able to help them succeed.
Success or failure hinges on this moment.
"There's one thing I just don't understand. He was the one who deceived my aunt first, but he's making it seem like we deceived him, using such a vicious method to deal with the Gu family."
"Was the evidence of the Gu family's treason fabricated by Shen Jiachen?"
Gu Sinian sighed, "Yes. Because this case had occurred once before in the past few decades, our Gu family was able to escape this time, receiving a sentence that was neither too light nor too heavy, and being sent to a reformatory."
This made her understand many things. No wonder the Gu family was accused of treason, yet the authorities only demoted them to Willow Village and didn't make things too difficult for them.
Things I couldn't understand before, I understand perfectly now.
"Then why does he hate the Gu family so much? Could it be that Shen Jiachen has a personal grudge against the Gu family?"
Gu Sinian shook his head, recalling what his grandfather had just said: red files are generally not made public; it's best for him to know in his own mind and not to tell anyone, including Su Ying.
But he and Su Ying were husband and wife, sharing both glory and hardship, the closest of partners...
Su Ying dared to let him know even about something as private as her personal space, so a red file was nothing to her.
Telling my wife might have unexpected positive effects at a crucial moment.
His wife is very clever and always has so many clever ideas. Why does he keep them to himself?
Besides, he's no longer in the military, so what can't he tell his wife?
"Grandpa didn't know either. There probably wasn't any personal grudge between them. Before he knew Shen Jiachen's true identity, the two had a pretty good relationship and were like brothers..."
"That's really strange."
Gu Sinian hugged the person tightly, "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. The truth will come out eventually. Besides, Shen Jiachen has already started making plans."
