Lin Chan drove at a speed as if he were flying, his face looking terribly somber.
"It’s the Gu Family! It must be them!" Lin Chan cursed, "Otherwise, the Capital Financial News wouldn’t dare to publish such a report, especially not under my watch!"
"On New Year’s Day, both Gu En and Tang Tang were in the army. I had a disagreement with Tang Tang that evening, and she mentioned she had photos of you and me entering a hotel together. The next day, both Gu En and Tang Tang left the army, and this news broke out early this morning." He Zhilan’s eyes darkened, "A performer like Tang Tang couldn’t have pulled this off on her own. The question is, was it Gu En who fueled the fire, or was the entire Gu Family involved?"
"It must be the whole Gu Family," Lin Chan assessed, "While Gu En is a daughter of the Gu Family, the Capital Financial News wouldn’t necessarily care about favoring a little girl. Only if the whole Gu Family intervened could such a thing happen. Didn’t you see the interview where the school leadership was involved?"
"Why would the Gu Family suddenly do this? Why so ruthlessly throw so much mud at me? What’s in it for them?" He Zhilan’s hands in her pockets slowly clenched into fists. Her tone and expression showed she was on the verge of furious anger.
"Of course they have gains! The Gu Family fears that, just like me, you will become a significant financial Discover more novels on NovelHub - your gateway to endless stories.

That’s how the world is; who promises more gains, gets the Discover more novels on NovelHub - your gateway to endless stories."
"So, what should I do now?" He Zhilan became grave, "If it’s just Gu En, it’d be more manageable, but if the Gu Family is involved, it’s going to be tough."
After thinking it over, He Zhilan agreed with Lin Chan’s analysis. Gu En wouldn’t dare to make such a big scene, so the force behind this must be the entire Gu Family.
"I knew you’d be coming back, so I organized a press conference at a small conference room in the hotel where we stayed last time. I’ve invited many journalists to clarify directly at seven-thirty this evening. We’re innocent, so we have no fear of slander." Lin Chan encouraged He Zhilan, "We must remain calm in the face of danger. Tonight, show the world what He Zhilan is made of, these little tricks of the Gu Family won’t scare us!"
"Yes, sister-in-law, you must stay strong! I believe that you can do it!" He Dongxue also encouraged He Zhilan, "The Gu Family is just so awful! They’re bullying you just because they’re worried you’ll become competent in the future!"
He Zhilan nodded in agreement, but deep inside, she felt extremely distressed.
In the past, it was Gu En who tried to tarnish her reputation. She barely managed to clean herself from that, and now, the Gu Family is attempting to throw an even bigger scandal at her.
Gu En only spoiled her reputation at Capital University, but the Gu Family, they want her reputation ruined in the entire capital, and even the whole country. The viciousness of the Gu Family was thousands of times worse than Gu En!
