Chapter 1090: Chapter 1090: Gu Family’s Decision 2

Lin Chan glared fiercely at the group of troublemaking friends and directly chased them away.

It could be said that everyone was watching the Gu Family’s reaction. However, the people of the Gu Family were either in government institutions or secluded within the courtyard where no one could enter.

Those waiting for the Gu Family’s response weren’t just the ones lurking in the shadows; even Xing Ye, Lin Chan, and their group were waiting. Since He Zhilan wasn’t present, they couldn’t represent her in making any decisions. Besides, those in the know understood that He Zhilan wouldn’t emerge under these circumstances—who could guarantee that she wouldn’t be killed the moment she showed herself?

Therefore, what Xing Ye and the others needed to do was to wait for the Gu Family’s reaction, then take corresponding measures to protect He Zhilan to the best of their ability.

After Xing Ye returned, he personally made a trip to He Teng’s base. Back in the day, Xing Ye had also spent a few years in this same unit, so the leadership here was particularly familiar with him.

"Xing Ye, what’s really going on with He Teng’s wife? Wasn’t there a rumor a while back that was cleared up? Now why is it circulating again, and this time with a lot of substantiation?" The senior officer didn’t bother hiding his concerns. He and Xing Ye, despite their age difference, were old friends. So when it came to certain matters, the officer preferred to ask Xing Ye directly rather than snooping around.

"It’s true that He Zhilan is actually Gu Zhilan. But this matter has a significant impact on the entire circle. That’s why He Teng’s decision to leave the unit without authorization to protect He Zhilan is somewhat understandable. As for He Teng’s situation, I’ll have to count on you, sir, to cover for him a bit more." Xing Ye smiled as he responded.

"I haven’t covered enough already?" The senior officer was visibly irritated as soon as He Teng’s name was mentioned. "That little punk! Keeping such a huge matter from me—he just up and left, leaving me to clean up his mess? Now when people ask me about He Teng, I say I don’t know. When they ask where he’s gone, I tell them he’s off on a secret mission. But seriously, missions don’t last this long. People aren’t fools—they’re bound to suspect something, right? Won’t the higher-ups investigate?"

After venting his frustration, the senior officer sighed heavily as he sat alone in his chair. "Ah, I remember when I first met He Teng—he had just enlisted. Counting the years, it’s been over a decade now. I’ve practically watched him grow up. Early on, I worried that his personality would make it hard for him to find a wife. Then, when he finally got married, everything seemed perfect—his wife was even a top graduate from Capital University. But who could have imagined that He Teng’s wife would turn out to be someone with such a complicated background—the daughter of the Gu Family? I honestly don’t know whether that’s a blessing or a curse for him."

"Whether it’s a blessing or a curse, no one can say for sure. Sometimes, life has a way of being terrifyingly unpredictable." Xing Ye felt he wasn’t qualified to comment on the relationship between He Teng and He Zhilan. Life, like drinking water, is something only the drinker can judge—whether it’s warm or cold, only they would truly know if it’s a blessing or a curse.

That said, Xing Ye thought about how, after He Zhilan and He Teng divorced, He Zhilan had persistently followed after him, sacrificing much in the process. For He Teng’s sake, she gave up being a powerful woman admired by others. Even after founding her own company, she chose to stay by He Teng’s side as a supportive wife.

Sometimes, in marriage, what’s needed is mutual sacrifice and dedication from both sides.

Xing Ye spent the entire afternoon at the base before rushing back to the capital. By the time he returned, the capital had flared up with turmoil once more.

Upon receiving the news, Lin Chan and the others all headed to Xing Ye’s house. When they entered, they could distinctly hear Bian Xiulin loudly cursing, utterly unrestrained. Of course, her anger wasn’t directed at her beloved child or her husband Xing Ye, but rather at the Gu Family.
