When Gu Nanyan said this, everyone was speechless. Only Shen Bei'an wondered who Wen Shiyin was.
"Wen Shiyin," the girl murmured the name.
"Our Shiyi is the cutest. Sister will always protect our Shiyi."
That soft voice echoed and lingered in her mind.
"Rest well here first, and we will send you back to the Wen family in a while."
It's difficult to send people out of Fuyun Island now. Gu Nanyan certainly has the ability to send people out, but that would be risky and alert the enemy.
"Arrange a room for her and take good care of her."
"yes."
If you really can't remember, then don't think about it anymore.
The girl stared at her blankly, "Th...thank you..."
So she has family; she has an older sister, and her sister has been looking for her!
After the girl was taken away by Gu Xingxiao, Shen Bei'an finally asked, "Yan Yan, what exactly happened?"
“Young Master Xie should be well aware of this matter,” Gu Nanyan said, turning the conversation to Xie Yunyu.
Xie Yunyu leaned against Chen Juanqing, still somewhat dazed.
It wasn't until Shen Juanqing squeezed Xie Yunyu's hand that Xie Yunyu seemed to come back to her senses.
"Does Fifth Master know that there are nine extraordinary talents in the capital and five dukes in Xihua City?"
Shen Bei'an responded, "Looking across the entire empire, there should be no one who doesn't know about it."
The empire's network information is incredibly advanced, and famous young masters from various cities have all made their mark, among whom the most renowned are the Nine Masters of the Capital and the Five Gentlemen of Xihua City.
"The Grand Duke of Zhongsong of the Five Dukes of Xihua City is Wen Shiyin of the Wen family. Fifth Master should know that of the Five Dukes of Xihua City, the original Grand Duke of Nanheng, Helian Yunbai, is currently residing in the capital due to official duties. Among the remaining four dukes, the Grand Duke of Beiheng, Gu Nanyi, is someone Fifth Master is familiar with and has already taken over the family's power."
The biggest difference between the Gu family and other prominent families is that each leader of the family abdicates very early and quickly.
The heir almost always abdicated as soon as he reached adulthood.
Gu Nanyan of the Gu family in the capital was like this, and so was Gu Nanyi of the Gu family in Xihua City.
"And this Grand Duke Zhongsong also wielded real power."
"The Wen family is in chaos, with illegitimate children everywhere. Wen Shiyin is the eldest daughter of the Wen family's main branch. She is eight years older than Wen Shiyi. Originally, it should have been a sure thing for Wen Shiyin to inherit the Wen family."
"The eldest son and daughter-in-law of the Wen family both died, leaving behind only twelve-year-old Wen Shiyin and four-year-old Wen Shiyi. When the other branches of the Wen family were fighting for power, Wen Shiyi was lost. Wen Shiyin bided her time and, at the age of twenty-one, regained control of the Wen family. During this period, Wen Shiyin never gave up looking for Wen Shiyi."
"It's just that we haven't been able to find her yet, and I'm afraid Wen Shiyi has already fallen into the hands of the Fuyun Island Medical Alliance."
"Wen Shiyin is now twenty-six years old, and Wen Shiyi should be eighteen, but she looks only fifteen or sixteen."
At this point, Xie Yunyu sighed. She and Wen Shiyi were both victims of the 601 case, but she seemed to be more fortunate. After being sent to the Le'anju Orphanage, she was picked up by the Xie family.
However, Wen Shiyi was caught by the Medical Alliance for various reasons and became 7983, becoming an experimental subject.
"Wen Shiyin once contacted me through Yi Jie'er." Gu Nanyan stroked the relic in his hand and spoke slowly, concealing the icy coldness deep in his phoenix eyes.
No member of the empire's powerful families would be unaware of the Gu family's intelligence network—a spiderweb capable of tracing everything under heaven.
"So, Yan Yan, you realized long ago that person was Wen Shiyi, which is why you bought her." A strange emotion welled up in Shen Bei'an's heart, a mixture of sorrow and numbness.
Gu Nanyan had already recognized the girl as Wen Shiyin's younger sister, Wen Shiyi, but he did not immediately order the hunting grounds to stop and let the girl go.
Shen Bei'an knew better than anyone that Gu Nan'an had this ability, and that Wushang Loulan had this ability.
But she didn't. She let Wen Shiyi fall into trouble and eventually become an auction item at the hunting grounds!
They bought her for 6.5 million Imperial Coins.
Gu Nanyan remained silent, which Shen Bei'an interpreted as tacit agreement.
"Why?" Shen Beian suppressed a feeling of inexplicable grievance that welled up inside him.
Gu Nanyan held Shen Bei'an's hand tightly. "She is Wen Shiyin's younger sister, the sister that the head of the Wen family in Xihua City has been searching for for more than ten years."
Shen Beian understood almost instantly.
Simply finding her is not enough.
Hua Yueli is running for election, and Wen Shiyin, as the head of the Wen family in Xihua City, has crucial votes in her hands.
The Ji family of Xihua City was unwilling to take sides, even though the Ji family was Hua Yueli's maternal clan.
The Gu family has always been neutral and will naturally not take sides.
As for the Xie family, they have been stationed in Xihua City for many years and have never participated.
The Helian family, needless to say, will not stand on Hua Yueli's side.
Therefore, they need a family in Xihua City that can rival the Helian family.
Naturally, attention would turn to the Wen family, where Wen Shiyin, the last of the five dukes of Xihua City, resided!
Only by making Wen Shiyin clearly understand everything the Medical Alliance has done for Wen Shiyi can Wen Shiyin truly and willingly stand behind Hua Yueli.
Shen Juanqing remained silent, clearly indicating his tacit approval of Gu Nanyan's actions.
Xie Yunyu clenched her fists silently, keeping her head down and saying nothing.
As Gu Nanyan's younger brother, Gu Nanyu was not at all surprised by Gu Nanyan's actions.
She always tries to maximize the benefits of something.
"An'an." Gu Nanyan held Shen Bei'an's hand, without saying a word more or even offering an explanation.
In the First World, people had always told Shen Bei'an that women were emotional, but Shen Bei'an scoffed at this statement.
