Chapter 1089: Chapter 1089 Gu Family’s Decision

"Even a tiger doesn’t eat its cubs, really?!" Brother Muhe kicked Brother Mufan, "Can you stop talking about such scary things? You’re giving me goosebumps all over, it’s terrifying!"

"But..." Lin Chan glanced at Chen Yun, who was lounging with his legs crossed, and kicked him directly. "Why did you let Old Master Shen go to the women’s prison to visit Gu En? Don’t you know how to be a little more cautious?"

"Cautious, cautious, cautious—easy for you to say, how do you even do that?" Chen Yun spread his hands. "The Shen Family and the Gu Family aren’t just some random cats and dogs, you know? You think I can stop them? And besides, Xing Ye said we shouldn’t confront them head-on just yet. Even if I tried to block them, what’s next—what if they insist on going and I refuse to let them in, we end up brawling? Look, I made sure to have people keep an eye on Old Master Shen the entire time he visited Gu En. I know everything they talked about."

Chen Yun nodded affirmatively. "That’s true."

"What exactly did Gu En and Old Master Shen talk about when they met?" Brother Muhe asked.

"The rumors outside have been flying around with some real weight behind them. The Shen Family can’t just sit still worrying about them, right? So Old Master Shen must have gotten suspicious too, which is why he first went to the women’s prison to probe Gu En. Turns out, Gu En spilled everything outright. That’s when Old Master Shen headed to the Gu Family. My guess is he went there ready to interrogate them, but somehow, the Gu Family managed to sweet-talk him and made him happy again." Chen Yun sighed. "To be honest, I wonder how the Gu Family will react once they find out He Zhilan is actually Gu Zhilan."

"What can they do? In this situation, it’s just a matter of knowing and moving on. Zhilan hates them so much, and they’re aligned with the Shen Family, which makes them our enemies. What do you expect them to do? Honestly, as long as they don’t go after Gu Zhilan’s life over this, it’s already the best-case scenario." Chen Yun snorted, waved his hand dismissively, and added, "Besides, who knows how Zhilan and He Teng are holding up in that tiny, rundown spot they’re stuck in."

"Probably just living that ’two lovers weaving their lives, enviable like ducks on a pond, not caring about being deities’ kind of lifestyle," Lin Chan chuckled mockingly. "What’s the matter—jealous? Maybe when the crisis passes and they come back, they’ll be a happy little family of three! That’ll make all you single people green with envy!"

"Oh, really now!" Chen Yun stood up and walked toward Lin Chan, glancing sideways at him. "You’re including yourself when you talk about ’single people,’ aren’t you? Look at yourself—chasing after Dongxue so long, and she treats you like you’re some monstrous flood. You seriously think you’re better off? By the way, Brother Muhe, last time Dongxue mentioned to you that after her internship, she might choose to go back for grad school, didn’t she?"

"Yeah." Brother Muhe nodded seriously and confirmed, "She’s likely aiming to complete her master’s too. Coming from the Military Medical University, having higher academic qualifications would be a big bonus for her."

Chen Yun took Muhe’s response and gave Lin Chan a "good luck surviving" kind of look. "A highly-educated girl like her isn’t going to be interested in someone like you, smelling of pure money as a businessman. Honestly, I think our young Director Muhe and Dongxue would make a brilliant match—both highly educated, working similar jobs, sharing topics to talk about. They’re even at the same hospital, so they could commute to work and come home together when they’re married!"

"A friend’s wife is off-limits, you know that rule, don’t you? Brother Muhe, do you even understand the meaning of that, our high-cultural Director Muhe?" Lin Chan shot a sharp look at Brother Muhe. Come to think of it, He Dongxue and Brother Muhe did seem to get along quite well—calling him "Director Muhe" so politely at work, switching to "Brother Muhe" casually after work, while Lin Chan himself only got her disdainful tone full of gritted teeth, addressing him formally by his full name.

"A friend’s wife? Hard to say." Brother Muhe shrugged and adjusted his glasses on his nose. "Chen Yun’s suggestion isn’t bad at all. My parents are quite fond of Dongxue, too."
