There was one ti when Gu Yuheng went to report his work to his superior, and his superior almost choked to death when phlegm blocked his airway. Gu Yuheng instinctively rushed forward to perform first aid, saving his superior’s life.
Because of this, Gu Yuheng’s superior was very grateful to him. Later, when Gu Yuheng’s superior was dismissed for making a mistake, his superior decided to promote Gu Yuheng. Now, Gu Yuheng is already an Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Industry, holding a rank 5 position.
However, ever since saving his superior, Gu Yuheng has been experiencing scattered fragnts of mories surfacing in his mind.
Until one day, he accidentally discovered his own dicine box.
Upon opening the dicine box and seeing the familiar items inside, all of Gu Yuheng’s mories returned.
He questioned Mrs. Liu, asking why she deceived him, and at that mont intended to pack his things and go ho.
But with just one sentence, Mrs. Liu successfully convinced him to stay.
"If you dare step out of this door, I will report you for impersonating an official. I’ll say it was all you who coerced us mother and son."
"In this matter, you’re the one who benefits from it all. No one will disbelieve my words. By then, you will face a death penalty, and we, as a mother and son, will only garner sympathy from others."
Gu Yuheng slumped down in despair. He didn’t want to be an official; he feared being discovered and left to a dead end. But if he didn’t beco an official, he would face death now.
Given the choice between dying now and dying in the future, any person would choose.
Mrs. Liu continued, saying, "Don’t all n under the heavens want to beco officials? Isn’t becoming an official better than being a doctor?"
"Now, you have even earned your superior’s favor, and your official career can only rise higher."
"Moreover, you already bear a resemblance to Chen Song. You haven’t been in the Capital City long, and when you encountered that fellow graduate, they only joked you look much older, saying nothing else."
Gu Yuheng rembered that eting. He had just arrived in the Capital City and took Mrs. Liu and the child out for a trip during a holiday.
Mrs. Liu discovered a fellow graduate of Chen Song’s and quietly inford Gu Yuheng, prompting him to approach and greet the person.
That person studied him for a long ti, joking, "We haven’t seen each other for seven or eight years. So, have you been working hard? You look so much older now."
Gu Yuheng was naturally five or six years older than Chen Song, so he naturally appeared older.
Upon learning that Gu Yuheng had been transferred to the Capital City, the fellow graduate was very enthusiastic, and they exchanged addresses with each other.
Soon after, the fellow graduate invited Gu Yuheng to attend a reunion of fellow graduates in the Capital City.
They were all graduates from the sa year, and having not seen each other for many years, each had undergone changes.
However, everyone unanimously felt that Chen Song had changed the most, appearing much older. Without being told beforehand that this was Chen Song, they wouldn’t have recognized him at all.
At that ti, Gu Yuheng had not yet regained his mory and truly believed he was Chen Song; therefore, he felt no guilt and mingled well with his fellow graduates, conversing and laughing.
Mrs. Liu continued, "Your identity is now secure. Can’t we just live like this for a lifeti?"
"The only concern is your parents and brothers, but you can rest assured, I won’t let them co to the Capital City; I’ll make all arrangents comprehensively."
Gu Yuheng had no ideas, so he cautiously perford his duties as an Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Industry, waiting for the day his identity would be discovered, which would lead to his downfall.
Yun Jiao, after listening to this convoluted and bizarre story, imdiately thought of the story in Journey to the West, where Tang Seng’s father also died on the way to his post, and a villain impersonated his father as an official for many years.
She remained silent for a long ti.
If all of this were true, then her father was powerless and didn’t intend to abandon his wife on his own accord.
