Gu Tailin quickly let go of Ye Wenya and raised his hands to look innocent. "Ye Cong, you are wrongly accusing me. It was Ye Wenya's nonsense that made me do this."
Ye Cong protected his sister behind him and looked at Gu Tailin with a cold brow, "What did my sister say that was not right? If you didn't have a confidante, would you be so familiar with all this? Would you be so nervous? You are trying to cover up your mistake."
Gu Tailin now felt like he couldn't get rid of the feeling even if he jumped into the Yellow River. He explained bitterly, "I swear to God, I really don't have any close female friends."
"Don't you brothers and sisters know me yet? If I really had a confidante, I wouldn't be like this. Also, I don't understand these things about girls. I can ask others, such as my secretarial team, right?"
If he had known this would happen, he should have told Ye Wenya in advance, and none of this would have happened.
Ye Cong looked at him with the eyes of a father-in-law looking at his son-in-law, finding faults everywhere. "Alright, we brothers and sisters don't want to hear your explanation. From now on, you have to behave yourself."
"If you don't behave, I'll break all your claws and your third leg."
Gu Tailin knew that he could really do it, and subconsciously clamped his legs together, his mouth twitching, "...Ye Cong, do you have to be so cruel?"
Ye Cong snorted coldly, "I can be even more brutal. Do you want to try?"
Gu Tailin shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, no, I don't need to try."
He coughed twice and changed the subject, "Let's talk business first. I've found a lot of high-ranking women from abroad, and I brought the information with me."
He took out a document from one of the bags and handed it to Ye Wenya.
Ye Wenya pulled her brother to sit down, and the two siblings looked at the information together.
Gu Tailin quickly sat down on the other side of her, his brows slightly frowned. "The most troublesome thing is that we don't know how high the author's status abroad is. Is he in a certain class, or is he better off than ordinary people?"
“This way, the scope is much larger.”
Ye Wenya and Ye Cong also knew this. There were many girls with high status abroad. The most important thing was, what kind of status did this high status refer to?
Ye Wenya flipped through the thick stack of information, feeling a bit annoyed. "No, there are too many people. If I were to investigate based on this information, how long would it take to find out?"
"The most important thing is that our speed is so slow that we will be plotted against by those in the dark."
Gu Tailin massaged her shoulders and said in a gentle, soothing voice, "Don't worry. The more times like this, the more we can't be anxious."
"There are too many people on this list, but we can narrow it down in several ways. The only concern is that the narrowing down might exclude the author."
Ye Wenya motioned for him to continue.
Gu Tailin expressed his opinion, "First, keep an eye on Fu Yu. It's obvious that there's something wrong with Fu Yu. He might have a system or something that caused his temperament to become like this."
Ye Wenya frowned and nodded, "You mean, they will use Fu Yu to find the author?"
Gu Tailin's eyes flashed coldly, "Judging from the current situation, the author is the most crucial. Whoever finds the author first will achieve their goal."
Ye Wenya was the one who understood this the most. After thinking about it carefully, she said, "Perhaps, the other party has been lurking here for a long time, but he can't do anything because of the system."
"Later, they used some method to temporarily disable the system, allowing them to control Fu Yu. But why control Fu Yu? Controlling any one of us would be more effective than controlling Fu Yu."
Gu Tailin and Ye Cong exchanged a glance and said in unison, "It's because the other party can't control it."
Ye Cong speculated with a cold face, "Maybe there are some reasons that prevent the other party from controlling us."
Ye Wenya sorted out all the circumstances, and a thought popped up in her mind. "Do you think the other party's inability to control us is related to the collapse of the system and the plot?"
"Let's assume this is a fictional world. According to the original plot, the three of us aren't in a good situation, and Fu Yu and Wen Shushu..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Gu Tailin, "Wait a minute."
He looked at Ye Wenya and Ye Cong with a gloomy face. "After listening to Ye Wenya's words, I thought of a possibility. Perhaps, the original novel world was controlled by someone, and everything now is correct."
Ye Wenya and Ye Cong looked at each other and saw the astonishment and disbelief in each other's eyes.
"Gu Tailin, tell me what you think." Ye Cong pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, his eyes darkening.
A hint of coldness appeared on Gu Tailin's lips as he analyzed, "Let's not talk about the fact that Fu Yu and Wen Shushu are incapable of annexing the Gu and Ye families. Grandma's presence alone will prevent these two from doing anything."
"In the original novel, Grandma didn't do anything, but something happened to her. This is obviously wrong. I'm thinking that maybe the original novel was controlled by someone, and everything now is on the right track."
Ye Wenya and Ye Cong had discussed a similar topic before. At that time, Ye Cong said that the things in the original novel were impossible to happen. Now, after hearing these words, the brother and sister's minds became clearer.
Ye Wenya suddenly slapped her thigh and widened her eyes slightly, "Is it possible that the system has also been deceived?"
Gu Tailin and Ye Cong were not sure about this.
"Regardless of whether the system was tricked or not, judging by all the circumstances, there's at least a 70% chance that the original novel was manipulated."
"I tend to think that the system's true purpose is to correct this wrong world. First, the system wants Wenya to follow the plot. Perhaps it wants to use her to investigate the whole thing and catch the person or system that caused the trouble."
Ye Wenya also thought of one thing, "Then the author came to this world. Was she forced to come to this world, or did she want to change this world?"
Gu Tailin and Ye Cong both believe that it is to change the world.
"If the original novel was controlled by someone, then that person already controls the author. There's no need for the author to enter this world."
"Yes. The author came to this world, most likely to change it. But something happened when she came into this world, causing her to forget she was the author. Otherwise, she would have come to us long ago."
Ye Wenya and the other two sorted out the clues again.
Suppose, the original novel was written by someone controlling the author, who was controlling the author for some purpose. Later, Ye Wenya did not follow the plot, and the appearance of the system and the author caused the plot to collapse, which in turn made the plot develop as it should have.
The other party wanted to reverse it, but was unable to do so due to various factors including the system and Ye Wenya.
Until some time ago, the other party used certain means and methods to make the system disappear temporarily, and was able to control certain people and some situations in this world on a small scale again.
