Chapter 1068: Chapter 1068: Seeking the Truth 13
Speaking of this, He Dongxue paused, and asked, “Big brother, if you were from the Shen Family or their camp, and only just found out that He Zhilan is actually Gu Zhilan, what would you think?”
“Gu Zhilan is the only biological daughter of the Gu Family, yet she stands with the Xing Family’s camp. I would wonder, is the Gu Family truly supporting the Shen Family, or are they just pretending to support them while actually backing the Xing Family?” He Da speculated.
“Exactly! The Gu Family has a biological daughter, yet they kept it hidden and made an adopted daughter known, saying that they cut off relations as they please. anwhile, the Gu Family stands with the Shen Family, but their biological daughter stands with the Xing Family. The people in the Shen Family camp would think, is the Gu Family genuinely helping the Shen Family? Or have they already secretly colluded with the Xing Family, thus secretly placing the biological daughter by their side?”
He Da suddenly realized the gravity of the situation, “Conversely, as soone from Xing Ye’s side, they would suspect whether He Zhilan is a spy planted by the Gu Family next to Xing Ye. For them, He Zhilan is like a bomb in the Xing Ye camp that could explode at any mont, right? In such a scenario, anyone would want to defuse this bomb to ensure the safety of the entire team.”
“There’s another aspect,” He Dongxue sighed, “Everyone would want to exploit the identity of Gu Zhilan to their advantage, using it to launch attacks against their opponents, and they would stop at nothing to use my sister-in-law to do certain things. Lin Chan has said that once my sister-in-law’s identity as Gu Zhilan is exposed, she would beco a target brought to the forefront, with the entire political circle aiming their arrows at her.”
At such a ti, to protect He Zhilan without any leaks is extrely difficult, unless she stays in one room 24 hours a day, and soone guards her around the clock in that room. Otherwise, there are plenty of those who wish her dead to eliminate future troubles, always looking for an opportunity to put her in a deadly situation.
Among these people, the Shen Family definitely wants Gu Zhilan dead the most.
But He Zhilan is a living person, not an object. She might spend a day without leaving her room, but can she do the sa for 365 days a year?
As long as the political scene in the capital hasn’t completely changed, she cannot obtain security.
“Didn’t you say Xing Ye and Lin Chan are especially nice to Zhilan and your elder brother? Won’t they trust Zhilan just because she beca the Gu Family’s daughter?” He Da asked.
He Dongxue let out another long sigh, “Xing Ye and Lin Chan trusting my sister-in-law doesn’t an everyone behind Xing Ye trusts her. Lin Chan also ntioned, although the old Mr. Gu has passed away, his influence still remains. Given old Mr. Gu’s love for his granddaughter, if Gu Zhilan stands out and speaks up now, many who are on the fence about which side to stand on might very likely choose to stand with my sister-in-law imdiately. Old Mr. Gu was a military man, and his people are genuine military power. Those people might also wonder if Gu Zhilan’s intentions are what old Mr. Gu wished before his demise.”
He Da was truly at a loss for words this ti. The capital’s power dynamics are too complex, how did He Zhilan’s biological parents end up being from this circle?
“Big brother, after you go ho, tell the Gu Family that if they truly care and love my sister-in-law, they should leave our family imdiately and let no one know that she is their daughter,” He Dongxue instructed, “Here in the capital, Lin Chan has been suppressing the news these past few days. Fortunately, no one knows about the Gu and Lan Families visiting our ho; their visit was secretive enough that even Lin Chan didn’t know. Unless you tell, I wouldn’t know either. They were really quick.”
