"I have more bad news for you. You'd better be prepared."
Everyone swallowed hard. He had just been released from prison; could it be something bad happening again?
Everyone asked in unison, "What bad news!"
Qin Fang said in a strong and clear voice, "Gu Sihan and Gu Yuanming went missing during the arrest. It is preliminarily determined that Shen Jiachen rescued them."
"Shen Jiachen has been lurking in our country for many years. He is extremely cunning and scheming. He is a major general in Taiwan, a very high-ranking position. The intelligence he has access to must be top secret. I have already given orders to do everything in our power to capture the three of them."
“They conspired to set up this trap to kill the Gu family. I’m afraid they’ll be resentful and hide in the shadows to harm others, since you’ve been released without charge this time.”
"The Huo family in Beijing has been completely suspended from their duties and are under investigation. They have begun to investigate the cause of the matter, and I believe the truth will come out soon."
“If the Huo family is clean, there’s no problem. But if they’re colluding with Shen Jiachen, they’re in for a world of trouble this time.”
“Shen Jiachen is a spy from Taiwan. His identity was confirmed decades ago, but we have never been able to catch him, allowing him to survive for so many years. If we can confirm that the two families have ties and collusion, then your Gu family may benefit from this misfortune. You might even be able to clear your name and return to Beijing to report for duty.”
The Gu family members were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out of their sockets. They had never imagined that such a day would come. Returning to the capital to report on their duties was such a distant thing for the Gu family members. They were already overjoyed.
Su Ying stood there blankly, her mind reeling. Why wasn't the situation unfolding as it had in her previous life?
Following the trajectory of his previous life, Gu Sinian cleared his name and returned to Beijing to report on his duties ten years later. Ten years later, he went to Xinjiang to bring her ashes to Beijing and buried her in the Gu family ancestral cemetery as his wife.
This life has completely deviated from its course; everything is different now.
Could it be that the Gu family's good fortune is all thanks to Uncle Qin?
Uncle Qin's arrival was entirely due to a brief encounter she had on the train, and unknowingly, things had already deviated from their original course.
Her arrival accelerated the progress of everything, including the early redress of the Gu family's grievances.
Everything happened so fast that she was caught off guard and hadn't quite caught up with it.
how so?
Her relationship with Qin Fang was merely that of sharing a private room and being in the same bunk; it wasn't enough for her to go to great lengths to uncover the truth for him.
Something feels off, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
She took Gu Sinian's arm and whispered, "Is your Gu family very familiar with this Uncle Qin? Why does he help your Gu family so much, and even go to the trouble of exonerating the Gu family? What benefit does he get from this? He personally ordered people to investigate the Huo family."
Gu Sinian shrugged. He didn't know exactly how he had received this good fortune, but he had already asked his grandfather and father.
It has nothing to do with them.
It had nothing to do with him. How could a mere regimental commander like him have the opportunity to know General Qin Fang, such a formidable figure?
He had no connection or relationship with General Qin, so why was he going to such lengths to help them?
The Gu family has nothing left now, only their worthless, wretched lives.
"I don't know General Qin, and neither do my grandfather and father. I also don't know who he's here for. Could he be a distant relative of the Sun family?"
Su Ying shook her head. She hadn't come for the Gu family, so it couldn't possibly be the Sun family either.
“I know him.”
"What!"
Gu Sinian looked at Su Ying in disbelief, "How did you two meet?"
"We met only once. We're not very familiar with each other."
Su Ying recounted how she and Qin Fang met, and Gu Sinian, with his keen investigative abilities, sensed something unusual.
"You said General Qin was very interested in the jade pendant around your neck?"
"Yes. He grabbed me and talked to me for more than two hours about the origin of the jade pendant. I didn't know the story of the jade pendant, I only knew that it was a keepsake left to me by my mother."
Gu Sinian finally sensed something fishy. General Qin's sudden appearance in Willow Village, with his aim being the little girl, meant that this matter was not simple.
He made a bold guess: "General Qin came to Willow Village specifically to find you, perhaps because of your jade pendant."
"How is that possible?"
Su Ying reached out and touched the jade pendant around her neck, seemingly recalling the strange incident on the train that day.
Qin Fang didn't seem very interested in her, and kept asking about the origin of the jade pendant.
"Why not? Perhaps General Qin and his mother-in-law have some unresolved issues to settle."
Su Ying's lips twitched. Was this some kind of melodramatic plot? She awkwardly touched her neck, her face showing a strong desire to know the truth.
"No way. Although my mom and that bastard Xu Zhimo don't get along, my mom would never betray my scumbag father. My mom isn't that kind of person."
Perhaps it was the mother-in-law's foolishness before the marriage that led to General Qin's journey of thousands of miles to find his daughter.
General Qin went to Shanghai many times to look for the person, but to no avail. Yet he persisted in his search, which showed his dedication. Such coincidences are a bit too dramatic.
If his guess is correct, General Qin helped the Gu family entirely because of the little girl.
He had just asked his grandfather and father one by one, and they were not familiar with General Qin, let alone had any relationship with him.
There's only one truth: the young wife has some kind of relationship with General Qin. Even if they're not father and daughter, she must be General Qin's sweetheart.
General Qin never married, perhaps waiting for his mother-in-law, but she had already married someone else.
