Making Gu Shuluo take the fall not only protects Yan Zhiyao but also seriously traps Gu Yanjing.
Gu Yanjing’s expression was indifferent, as if he didn’t care about it at all.
Chu Zhengran worried for him, seeing his lack of concern.
Even now, he could fully recall the scenes of Gu Zhengyu and Gu Yanjing together.
He had no mories of his father.
So every ti he visited the Gu Mansion and saw Gu Yanjing with his father, he felt very envious.
He rembered Gu Zhengyu teaching Gu Yanjing to play golf.
Also rembered Gu Zhengyu teaching Gu Yanjing to play the violin.
He even rembered Gu Zhengyu patiently discussing various knowledge with Gu Yanjing.
He even rembered when they were very little, once his mother took him to the Gu Mansion, and Gu Zhengyu accompanied Gu Yanjing to watch ants move in the yard.
He always rembered that their father-son relationship was particularly good.
He rembered Gu Zhengyu being very patient, and being a very good father.
So later on, when such things happened, it actually took Chu Zhengran a long ti to fully accept it.
He couldn’t imagine Gu Zhengyu having another woman outside and even a son.
He couldn’t even accept that when faced with choices, Gu Zhengyu would completely abandon Gu Yanjing and Yan An.
If he couldn’t accept it.
Then how could Gu Yanjing, who experienced it firsthand, do so?
Gu Zhengyu could choose which son he loved more.
But a father is only one.
Gu Yanjing hated him because he once loved his father deeply, so now he hates him even more.
But every confrontation with Gu Zhengyu.
Was a reopening of his wounds.
No matter what, who would want to hurt their own biological father?
"Go see Gu Shuluo." Gu Yanjing suddenly said.
Chu Zhengran looked at him.
Lin Huai Shu also looked at him, and after a while, said: "Since we know Gu Shuluo went to take the fall, should we try to get him out first?"
This would also lessen the trouble on Gu Zhengyu’s side.
"The Imperial Power Club isn’t related to him. How clean can he be?" Gu Yanjing glanced at the materials on the table and said, "There’s evidence here. He going in isn’t unjustified. Otherwise, how co he easily took the fall?"
Lin Huai Shu said nothing, glancing at Chu Zhengran.
Chu Zhengran didn’t speak either.
Qiao Yuxian looked at them and said: "Let’s go see Gu Shuluo first."
...
The four of them went to the police station and through connections t with Gu Shuluo.
As the information they received indicated.
Gu Shuluo knew Gu Yanjing, and he wasn’t dumb or crazy. His ntal state was good; he even taunted Gu Yanjing.
He calmly admitted that he was Yan Zhiyao.
Moreover, he could talk about many things regarding the Imperial Power Club or so matters about D Continent.
The person seed completely normal.
The four got no other information at the police station.
After leaving, they first went to have a al together.
Then discussed going to the Sixth Hospital.
During the al, Qiao Yuxian, in a burst of imagination, speculated from being possessed by soone to suspecting an alien invasion, finally wondering whether he was hypnotized.
Compared to the other theories, they felt hypnosis seed more plausible.
So the four of them went to the Sixth Hospital to find Shen Wenyan.
Shen Wenyan was seeing patients in the clinic that afternoon.
The four of them went to see Yan An first.
At Yan An’s little yard, Lin Huai Shu first called out for the aunt.
Qiao Yuxian saw him and then called out even louder.
Lin Huai Shu looked at her.
Qiao Yuxian also looked at him.
After a mont of eye contact, Lin Huai Shu ran toward the room, calling out, "Auntie, I’ve co to see you."
Qiao Yuxian was montarily stunned and then imdiately ran towards the room, "Auntie, I ca first."
Gu Yanjing watched the two of them.
Chu Zhengran laughed slightly, saying: "Auntie has gotten much better recently."
"Mm." Gu Yanjing replied.
"Miss Qiao hasn’t changed what she calls her, has she?" Chu Zhengran asked again.
"No." Gu Yanjing replied, "Let’s wait until my mother’s condition stabilizes further. Besides... she’s never been with her mother since childhood."
"Are you worried she won’t know how to call that word out?" Chu Zhengran asked.
"Mm." Gu Yanjing responded.
Chu Zhengran understood, but after they walked a few more steps, he added: "But that’s not all, right?"
Gu Yanjing looked at him.
Chu Zhengran smiled warmly: "You feel like you owe Miss Qiao a certain formality. Even after getting the certificate, you fear it isn’t official enough, worried it wrongs her."
Gu Yanjing looked at him.
Chu Zhengran’s smile deepened: "Yanjing, being brothers, I can still guess a little about what you’re thinking. And your actions are quite conspicuous, those unaware might think you plan to raid soone’s house."
Gu Yanjing: "......"
Chu Zhengran chuckled again, took a few quick steps forward, and also entered the room.
When Gu Yanjing entered the room, they were already chatting.
Qiao Yuxian was sitting next to Yan An, laughing and talking with her.
Lin Huai Shu and Chu Zhengran were sitting on the sofa opposite.
Gu Yanjing sat on the sofa on the other side of Yan An, and after he sat down, he saw a book beside her hand.
"Spring and Autumn Annals of the Lu Family," with a bookmark inside, likely what she was just reading.
Gu Yanjing lowered his gaze for a mont at the book, then looked at Yan An again.
Watching Yan An chat with them.
Seeing her gentle and loving smile.
Shen Wenyan said her condition was quite stable recently, with no recurrence of disordered mories. If she could maintain this state long-term without relapse, there was a great chance for recovery.
The most crucial thing was to avoid any stimulation during this period.
Now that Gu Shuluo was in custody, Gu Zhengyu would, in any case, find a way to head to Beijing.
If Gu Zhengyu’s aim wasn’t pointed at his mother, it would be directed at Qiao Yuxian.
Gu Yanjing lowered his gaze, gently rubbing his fingertips...
They stayed over two hours at Yan An’s courtyard before leaving to find Shen Wenyan.
Upon leaving, Qiao Yuxian took two small red flowers from the yard to plant on the terrace of the Jingyu Garden bedroom.
Yan An stood at the door watching them leave, only returning indoors after they had gone.
The aunt who had always accompanied her walked with her inside.
Yan An went to the bedroom and sat beside the small table on the bedroom balcony.
The accompanying aunt brewed a pot of tea, poured it, and also sat by the table.
"Sister Hong, Yanjing seems to have sothing on his mind." Yan An said.
Ge Hong replied: "Gu Shuluo was arrested last night, he’s still at the police station."
Yan An looked at her.
"I heard he took the fall for Yan Zhiyao at the Imperial Power Club." Ge Hong said.
Yan An sipped tea, pondered for a mont, and said: "Yanjing is worried Gu Zhengyu coming to Beijing might pose a threat to or to Yuxian."
"Likely so." Ge Hong replied.
"Have soone secretly pay more attention." Yan An softly said, "Yanjing has suffered too much these years; now that I’m clear-minded, I mustn’t let Gu Zhengyu sully my son’s hands."
"Yes." Ge Hong replied.
"Make sure to be cautious; don’t let Yanjing notice anything." Yan An said, "Otherwise, he won’t let get involved."
"Alright."
