"I originally thought that Gu En of the Gu family was the craftiest, but now I realise I was mistaken. The entire Gu family is filled with a ruthless and sinister atmosphere. General Gu, as you once threatened me, now I shall do the same. If I do not see an apology published in the financial newspaper tomorrow morning for the insults to my reputation, the whole of the capital, along with the entire nation, will soon know about the repeated instances of Gu En, the daughter of the Gu family, tormenting her classmates and even attempting to murder by administering sleeping pills! As well as how she killed a cat at the age of 10, concealed her age, amongst other things! As an aside, I will also propagate how Gu En made her way into the Gu family. How she, a small beggar, was brought into the Gu family, and how you all helped Gu En conceal her age and covered up for her ruthless deeds, even resorting to threatening active servicemen! Now, how would people of the capital perceive you?"
Having said that, He Zhilan paused in her speech and said mockingly, "Oh, right, if I were to tell everyone that Gu En is your illegitimate daughter who you adopted into the Gu family, would they believe me? You need not question me for evidence, this is something the Gu family excels in. I am merely repaying you in kind. You wanted to ruin my career and Lanteng Company’s reputation through public opinion, and I can just as easily tarnish the Gu family and Gu En in the same way!"
"Are you threatening me?" The veins on the hand that the Gu family general held the phone with bulged out.
"Yes, you’re not mistaken, I am threatening you! Gu Hengyuan, I am telling you, I, He Zhilan am not afraid of total destruction along with your Gu family. It was you who wanted to destroy me first. If my life ends here, then congratulations, Gu Hengyuan, the Gu family will subsequently have no place to go either. What I can threaten you with, far exceeds your imagination." With that, He Zhilan hung up the phone. No one knew if she was talking to herself or encouraging herself, "No retreat! From now on, I will have absolutely no sympathies left for the Gu family!"
"Zhilan." Lin Chan expressed her worry, "What would you do if the Gu family refuses to be threatened and decides to publish some disorderly news tomorrow?"
"What I would do? Then I will step forward as Gu Zhilan! Tell everyone how disgraced the Gu family is, how ruthless and vicious the people of Gu family are. I, as Gu Zhilan, will make all the scandalous information of the Gu family public. No evidence is needed, let’s see if the people of the capital believe in the words of Gu family’s own daughter. Let’s see, if even I, the Gu family’s biological daughter, steps forward to expose the Gu family, how the Gu family will stand tall in the capital! Whether Gu Hengyuan, the family head, can remain firmly in his seat!"
At this moment, He Zhilan’s face was completely cold, not hesitating, not afraid. If Lanteng Company gets destroyed by her hands, then her life as He Zhilan bearing such a huge debt would also be finished. So, what was there to be afraid of?
"No! Under this circumstance, even though the Gu family might collapse quickly, you will be in great danger." Lin Chan was the first one to disapprove. If this happens, Xing Ye’s political enemies will definitely not let He Zhilan go and will surely want to kill her.
"The cost is too high." Bian Muhe shook his head in disagreement. This was not just about mutual destruction, it was more like causing the loss of a thousand to harm eight hundred enemies!
"Life is most important," Lin Chan said, "Don’t rush into this. Let’s take one step at a time. The press conference tonight is still somewhat useful. As for the Gu family, let’s wait and see. I think they will be busy tonight because the hospital is very easy to check. Your primary doctor had advised you to report to the police that someone had drugged you, and at that time, Gu En was taken away by Chen Yun. So if the Gu family doesn’t cooperate tomorrow, we just need to stir things a bit, then this will spread. If the Gu family’s negative news of suppressing people with power and covering up for their daughter’s attempted murder comes out, they will have their hands full."
