It's all just going through the motions.
This time, the Gu and Sun families have been caught in a trap, a doomed situation with no chance of breaking free or turning the tide.
It was the Gu family that implicated them, and the Sun family was also harmed by the Gu family.
The young woman was also innocent; she had been married to him for less than half a month before suffering such a great deal of hardship.
This time, he was doomed and his chances of survival were slim. He regretted it; he regretted marrying her.
If he had known things would turn out this way, he wouldn't have chosen to marry that girl.
If he waited a little longer, until the big house was built before choosing to get married, that invisible hand wouldn't touch his Yingying anymore.
If Su Ying weren't his wife, she'd still be alive and well...
He regretted it...
He was the one who wronged her, dragging her into an abyss.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. If we hadn't gotten married, you wouldn't be facing this desperate situation now."
Su Ying wouldn't allow him to say that; this man always took all the blame upon himself.
Marriage is not something he can decide on his own; it is a decision made by both of them to voluntarily form a new family.
"I married you. It was my own decision, it has nothing to do with you, don't take all the responsibility on yourself."
"Besides, I don't regret marrying you. I believe we'll find a way out, and even if we don't, I'm willing to die with you."
The two whispered to each other, oblivious to everyone else, showing their affection. Although they spoke very softly, no one could hear what they were saying.
The only thing they showed was that they were showing off their affection for two days straight, making everyone's teeth ache with jealousy.
Sun Xuelin was the first to object. He was the representative of the wife-loving people in Liushu Village, and now he had become the second. He was a little unhappy about it.
"Alright, alright, stop showing off your love, I'm afraid I'll get a sty. The most important thing right now is to find out the suspicious people, hand them over to the security bureau for verification, and clear the names of all our innocent people."
Gu Sinian is also at a loss. He joined the army at the age of eighteen and served as a reconnaissance officer for many years. He is very clear about the current situation and can see the direction of things very well.
They conspired to destroy the Gu family, but accidentally injured five members of the Sun family; they were the biggest victims.
Before he was arrested, he overheard that the captain of the security bureau was named Huo Mingze. He was suspicious, and his surname was Huo.
Before Qiao Xiyan went to the countryside, she was already engaged to Huo Zheng, and the two had reached the point of discussing marriage. Today, the person who came to carry out the arrest mission was indeed the captain of the security bureau who had connections with the Huo family.
Is there really such a coincidence in the world?
The Huo family and Shen Jiachen conspired to set a trap, waiting for them to fall into it.
The Huo family was the Gu family's mortal enemy; otherwise, Huo Zheng wouldn't have chosen a woman who had broken off their engagement as his wife. He was just trying to spite the Gu family.
Qiao Xiyan abandoned him on the eve of her wedding, resolutely choosing to come to Dongshi, and even made a bold statement that she would marry no one but him. The Huo family's actions were understandable.
The Huo family is targeting the Gu family because of Qiao Xiyan; she doesn't have that much influence.
There was no relationship between him and Qiao Xiyan to begin with. Huo Zheng shouldn't take his anger out on the Gu family because of a woman's elopement, right?
Given the Huo family's way of doing things, it's actually quite possible.
The Huo and Gu families were mortal enemies. Huo Jiangshan only had the opportunity to take the position of commander of Beijing after his father fell ill.
The two are vastly different in ability, and it's impossible that there's no connection between them. Perhaps Huo Jiangshan was trying to eliminate a potential threat.
Fearing that the Gu family might have a chance to turn things around, they set up this scheme to eliminate any future troubles, crush the Gu family, and ensure that the Gu family would never be able to recover.
This is a dead end; how can we break it?
The Gu family was sent to the countryside for redevelopment; what was there to fear from the Huo family? They were thinking of eliminating them completely…
Realizing the crucial point, Gu Sinian anxiously asked Gu Huadong, "Does the Huo family have any influence in Dongshi?"
Gu Huadong carefully recalled those trivial matters from decades ago.
I don’t know if the Huo family has any influence in Dongshi, but Huo Jiangshan did have a younger sister who married into Dongshi more than 20 years ago.
Gu Sinian frowned. This made sense. The head of the security bureau, Huo Mingze, must have some connection with the Huo family.
Thinking about it more deeply, it seems unlikely.
Huo Jiangshan's younger sister married into Dongshi more than 20 years ago. Her age matches, but her surname doesn't.
Although Huo Jiangshan's sister's surname is Huo, the child's father may not necessarily have the surname Huo; this could be a coincidence.
"How many daughters does the Huo family have? Are there any married daughters whose descendants bear the surname Huo?"
Gu Huadong thought about it seriously, "The Huo family made a condition back then before the Xia family would take the person away."
"What are the conditions?"
"The Huo family did not have many descendants, so they put forward a very harsh condition: the first child of a married daughter of the Huo family, regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl, had to take the surname Huo."
"I see."
That makes sense; Huo Mingze is a descendant of the Huo family, and Huo Jiangshan is his uncle.
Putting everything together and thinking it over carefully, I arrived at a bad conclusion, but I already had my answer in my heart.
He closed his eyes in anguish. Huo Jiangshan, with his immense power, had gone to such lengths to set up this scheme, clearly intending to eliminate the Gu family completely.
He reached out and held Su Ying's hand tightly, looking at her with a sudden, emotional expression. The outcome was already decided; he just wanted to spend the rest of his days looking at the little girl properly, otherwise he would never have the chance again.
Whether the truth is investigated or not is no longer so important, regardless of what the truth is.
None of them made it out alive.
Initial suspicions suggest that Qiao Xiyan and Gu Sihan conspired to set a trap, with no intention of letting either of them escape alive.
