He Teng nodded, "Gu En is ruthless and continually hurts her. This time, even if it costs me my future, I won’t let Gu En get away with it!"
Having left those words, He Teng had already hailed a cab and was heading straight for the Gu family’s residence.
At the entrance to the military district compound, as expected, even though He Teng had an officer’s ID, the on-duty soldier still didn’t let him pass. Consequently, He Teng claimed he was here to see Lan Li. After the soldier made a call to the Lan Family and asked Lan Li himself, he finally let He Teng in.
At the Lan Family home, Lan Li was surprised by a call stating that He Teng was at the compound gate looking for him. At this time, He Teng should be at his army base. After giving He Teng the specific location of the Lan Family house, Lan Li stood waiting at the entrance.
The Lan and Gu families have always maintained a good relationship, and their residences in the same compound are quite close. Lan Li stood at his doorway, watching as He Teng, dressed in military uniform, walked in.
"Why are you here?" Regardless of why He Teng came, whether because He Zhilan was hurt by Gu En at the Gu Mansion yesterday, Lan Li was pleased to see him.
He Teng answered Lan Li with a languid nod, then turned his gaze to the Gu Mansion not far away, asking, "That’s the Gu family’s home, isn’t it?"
Lan Li nodded, noticing that He Teng was clearly aimed at the Gu Family, so he asked, "Did you come because of what happened to your wife at the Gu family’s yesterday, when Gu En hit her?"
He Teng didn’t respond. He stood in front of Lan Li for a moment before striding towards the Gu home, his steps becoming larger and his anger gradually revealing itself, no longer hiding it in the slightest.
The compound gate is always open for those who live there, so He Teng simply walked into the Gu Mansion. He didn’t knock on the door until reaching the entrance.
Inside, the new maid asked who it was and then opened the door. First, she saw He Teng with a confused look, then spotted Lan Li a few steps behind him and asked, "Are you young Mr. Li’s friend? Are you here to see our young miss or the old master?"
"I’m here for Gu En." At this moment, He Teng was truly burning with fury. He pushed past the maid who was blocking the entrance and barged in directly. The Gu Mansion was quite large, and he had no idea where Gu En was, so he simply shouted: "Gu En! Come out!"
Seeing this, Lan Li gasped in dismay. He had known He Teng for many years and had never seen him behave so irrationally and rudely.
In the past, He Teng was always one to lend a hand to those in need, even stopping to help if someone fell on the street!
Hearing the tone and expression He Teng used when shouting Gu En’s name, Lan Li knew that He Teng must be enraged.
Lan Li knew that yesterday, Gu En, as the owner of the Gu Mansion, had publically hit He Zhilan, which was wrong. Especially considering it’s not been long since Gu En last hurt He Zhilan. Last time, Commander Gu personally apologized over the phone. This time, He Teng must suspect Commander Gu of pretending to apologize while secretly condoning Gu En’s behavior.
Upstairs, Grandmother Gu, Mother Gu, and Lan Li’s mother were the first to come out. All three looked displeased—no one had ever dared to behave so loudly in the Gu Mansion before. Following them, Gu En came downstairs a step late. Her face showed no fear or anxiety, just an expression of impatience.
