Du Qiaoju's thoughts were exposed. Her face turned pale and blue, and she was embarrassed and stunned. "You are already an enemy spy. What should I compensate you for?"
Gu Wanwan countered, "So, if you say so, I, a martyr's descendant, am an enemy spy. My grandfather, a founding hero, is an enemy spy. My uncle Sifu is an enemy spy. My brother, the regimental commander, is an enemy spy. So is my enemy Fu Jingchen, too? I want to ask you, Jiang Chengshi, one question: do you dare to sue them all? Do you dare to bear the consequences?"
Jiang Chengshi didn't dare to do that. They were all important figures, unlike him, who was just one of the small captains of the Dove Tail Society and not the captain. However, he didn't want to miss the opportunity to arrest Gu Wanwan. "We will investigate carefully whether they are the real ones. As for you, you must come with us first. If you resist, don't blame us for taking you back!"
Xu Luoxue raised her face proudly, "Let's see who dares to testify for you?"
Upon hearing the news, He Wenyan, usually calm and composed, rushed to the scene in a frenzy for the first time in his life. "I can testify that Mr. Gu is one of the founding fathers. It's impossible for him to have raised an enemy spy granddaughter. There must be a misunderstanding here. No enemy spy would capture my companion!"
Gu Yarou's heart sank. The destined male protagonist really had some strange feelings towards Gu Wanwan...
Xu Luoxue gagged, immediately becoming unhappy. "He Shuyan, you should control your brother. I don't know what insidious tricks that bitch Gu Wanwan used to bewitch your brother like this. Cousin Xiaoxiao is his future match. How can you take sides with your ex-fiancée?"
He Shuyan frowned, disapproving of Brother Lu's words. "Brother, you've both broken off the engagement, so there's no need to come forward to help Gu Wanwan. You're not related to her, aren't you afraid of being pestered by her and being forced to marry you?"
He Wenyan found that he wasn't repulsed at all, and even had a little strange anticipation, but he quickly put these unrealistic thoughts aside. "I'm not helping Gu Wanwan, I just don't want any innocent people to be sacrificed. Besides, you can't conclude they're enemy spies based on just a few foreign books. The same thing happened when Gu's grandparents were sent down to the countryside, and the investigation turned out to be a frame-up."
"If it were an ordinary person, I would stand up as well. Besides, this excuse is full of loopholes. The Gu family would never voluntarily hand over evidence to be arrested!"
Captain Zhao Guoyu didn't show up, but his voice came first, "He Zhiqing's analysis is reasonable. My husband and I are willing to testify and vouch for Gu Zhiqing's character. She is definitely not an enemy spy!"
Aunt Lu then echoed, "It's not ruled out that some people are maliciously retaliating and framing. Jiang Chengshi, you should have solid evidence when arresting people. If you want to investigate the factory, you have all the documents and everything. It's definitely a government-run operation."
Jiang Chengshi turned around and questioned Gu Wanwan, "Do you have any books on foreign languages in your possession?"
Gu Wanwan readily admitted, "I have come into contact with foreign books, but I don't keep them privately. I just put them openly on the table, so I'm not afraid of anyone checking."
"As for why, I can only say it's a confidential operation and I refuse to reveal it. I still say that I do things openly and honestly and disdain disguises and hiding. If I were an enemy spy, you guys wouldn't be able to defeat me, and Xiangyang Village would have been destroyed long ago."
Jiang Chengshi was overjoyed upon hearing this. He hadn't expected Gu Wanwan to offer evidence of her own accord. He quickly led his men into the house to search. Sure enough, they found a foreign book on the table. "Gu Wanwan, do you still have any excuses? The evidence is irrefutable. Who else wants to help her get away with this? I have reason to suspect you're a conspiracy. Arrest us all!"
The fence-sitter villagers were shocked and frightened, and immediately turned their attention to Gu Wanwan.
"So she really is an enemy spy. Catch her quickly to prevent her from causing harm to Xiangyang Village."
Gu Yarou was secretly delighted in her heart. Should she say that Gu Wanwan was careless and stupid, or that Gu Wanwan was too arrogant?
"Wanwan, you really are... so disappointing. We grew up together, and as your cousin, I actually didn't know you were..."
