"Is it important?"
Li Yan’s thin lips moved slightly, appearing sowhat exhausted, yet also a bit flustered.
"Important! Very important!"
On the surface, all of this seed trivial, but in fact, it couldn’t withstand closer scrutiny.
Because...
If Li Yan wasn’t Li’s mother’s son, then there might be other identities involved. As for what those identities could be, Gu Tong didn’t dare to think about it, nor could she dwell on it! She loved soone, yet didn’t even know their true identity. Could anything be more important than that?
"The grace of birth is not as significant as the grace of upbringing! She raised , so I should be filial. But don’t worry, I won’t bring her to the Academy, and you all won’t live together, so such things won’t happen again in the future. You won’t have to worry about any conflicts!"
Li Yan spoke these words calmly, devoid of any emotion.
It seed casual, yet sohow deliberate.
He wanted to cover up, hide the truth, and prevent Gu Tong from probing further.
However, he underestimated Gu Tong’s determination regarding this matter!
In this situation, there was no longer any way out, nor any room for negotiation.
"Is it true about your relationship with Gong Chenli?"
The question was thrown out, and Li Yan widened his eyes, never expecting Gu Tong to ask such a question...
How did she know, who told her...
Gu Tong observed Li Yan’s expression carefully, able to clearly understand all his intentions.
Without any hesitation, she pressed her lips together and said, "I should have thought of it sooner. No matter how long you’ve been at the Academy, you couldn’t have perfectly created the opportune mont that Gong Chenli’s nephew appeared, and you fit all the criteria for his nephew, leaving no one else to take your place, which can only an your identity has issues..."
Gu Tong was right, there was indeed an issue with his true identity...
Li Yan had no grounds to deny it and could only tacitly accept it.
"Actually, it’s quite a coincidence. This ti, when Zhang Ma and I ca to the Zhao Family, we passed by an elderly person’s door. The elder knew a lot and told more about Zhang Ma, ntioning an officer with a scar on his neck, surnad Feng, and I realized everything..."
An elderly person...
Li Yan furrowed his brows but couldn’t help recalling sothing. His dark eyes fixed on Gu Tong for a while and said, "What do you want to ask?"
"It should be you telling sothing," Gu Tong raised an eyebrow and said, "The officer with scar on his neck, I only know one, and that’s my godfather, Feng Yi! Of course, you could call it a coincidence, but for your identity to be concealed to this extent, without the involvent and assistance from higher-ups, it’s impossible. In the entire Academy, only my father could achieve that!"
"So, from start to finish, all of you knew about this, but kept it from only . If I hadn’t accidentally stumbled upon it, how could you have told about it! Do you think this is fair? Did you consider as your wife? Such an important matter, yet I’m the only one who couldn’t know? I really don’t understand what you were all thinking."
Faced with a barrage of questions, Li Yan was powerless to argue.
This was also sothing he had kept hidden for a long ti, just as Gu Tong said, if it weren’t for her unexpected discovery, he wouldn’t have told her.
Because it implied danger...
He wanted to explain, to convince.
But he knew, now was not the right ti to address this matter, as there was sothing even more important...
"Who told you?"
Li Yan lowered his eyelids and asked in a calm voice.
Because he knew in his heart that if no one had told Gu Tong, she would never have gone to the hotown on her own, nor would she have encountered the elderly person to learn about these things.
All these happenings seed coincidental, but more so, it was shrouded in mysteries.
