The massive sound completely diverted everyone’s attention from the argunt between Shangguan Wanwan and Gu Jingyan.
Everyone looked up at the sky.
They saw a hot air balloon, the closest to Gu Garden, had sohow exploded in mid-air.
The poster with the paternity test of Zuzi and Gu Yuzhi instantly turned to ashes, and the wreckage of the hot air balloon struggled for a few seconds before falling onto the fence of Gu Garden.
Before anyone could react, one after another, the floating hot air balloons in the sky began to explode.
It was comparable to a grand fireworks display, just a bit nerve-wracking.
This...
Who struck with such force?
As everyone was in shock and uncertainty, a loud, clear voice ca from the entrance of the Gu family’s gate: "Rumors stop with the wise. How can Ms. Zuzi’s identity be questioned by outsiders?"
The person who arrived was clad in a deep green military uniform, with mottled scars faintly visible from his face to his neck, yet his steps were firm and powerful. He saluted Zuzi, his straight posture exuding unwavering loyalty.
No one recognized him.
But Mr. Gu was familiar: "Yin Hu, why are you here?"
He recognized so of the key figures often accompanying Bao Gucheng.
Especially those scars, marks of "shouldering the bla," left a deep impression on him.
Standing nearby, Shangguan Wanwan’s expression instantly changed, it was unclear if she was startled by the "outsider" remark or shocked by hearing the na "Yin Hu."
After saluting Zuzi, Yin Hu answered Mr. Gu: "Sir, Mr. Bo asked to bring over all the formal school health check blood reports of Ms. Zuzi from primary school to before the college entrance exams for everyone to see. You will see how absurd the rumors are."
"Blood report? Can it be more convincing than a paternity test?"
Shangguan Wanwan couldn’t help but speak, her tone unexpectedly softened, adding a touch of gentleness to her usual sharp deanor—
"Dear adjutant, I believe you are a wise and intelligent person and will distinguish truth from rumor, right?"
Yin Hu’s attitude was a bit cold, not looking directly at her, but he remained extraordinarily respectful, focusing his gaze toward a distant peach tree:
"To the mbers of the Gu family present, listen to ; a tree toppling brings no benefit to anyone. Think carefully! A paternity test can be faked, but a lifelong blood type cannot."
A lifelong blood type?!
Bao Gucheng’s information gathering was indeed too excessive.
Shangguan Wanwan’s lip curled, about to speak again, when she noticed the crowd’s curiosity had been piqued. They surrounded Yin Hu, exclaiming in surprise as they examined the blood type reports:
"Zuzi is type O... Gu Yuzhi and Gu Qiusha are types A and B respectively... How could AB produce an O-type child? Wow, it really is a rumor, Zuzi isn’t Professor Gu’s illegitimate daughter?"
"Thanks to Mr. Yin Hu, otherwise we would’ve been completely fooled by a gossip-filled hot air balloon."
"Since there’s no issue with Zuzi’s identity, we can’t let these rumors spread online. Also, we need to clarify that Professor Gu is the adopted son of Elder Gu and not blood-related to the fifth lady!"
The clan rules and genealogy book were destroyed by Mr. Gu, it’s a settled matter, and now everyone’s calculating how to minimize the negative impact on their family within a reasonable range.
After all, Yin Hu’s words "a tree toppling brings no benefit to anyone" were truly enlightening.
Had they lost their minds to follow the crowd and allow the reputation of the Gu family to be increasingly tarnished?
As the crowd’s direction gradually shifted, even Gu Qiusha sighed in relief, but Gu Yuzhi’s heart tightened.
Should he thank Bao Gucheng?
His blood type... wasn’t A.
