He Teng truly hadn’t anticipated that this time, his intention was to accompany He Zhilan to the capital, but as it turned out, he ended up with more matters to attend to than He Zhilan did.

Fortunately, although he was constantly in meetings, his tasks had not yet been set, so the time he could spend with He Zhilan in the capital changed from three days to an indefinite extension.

For several days, he spent his mornings and afternoons in meetings, sometimes even evenings, while He Zhilan was continuously undergoing psychological therapy.

He Teng could feel that, even though it was just a few short days of treatment, there were slight improvements in He Zhilan’s condition, such as her not having nightmares as often.

He Teng had thought that life could pass by peacefully, but unexpectedly, one night Lin Chan made an urgent call to the hotel, immediately instructing He Teng to pack up as he was on his way to drive her over and relocate He Zhilan from the capital overnight.

By the time Lin Chan reached the hotel, it was already past two in the morning, and He Zhilan had been woken up from her sleep by He Teng.

"What’s happened?" He Zhilan rubbed her sleepy eyes. She naturally knew that Lin Chan was not someone who would play pranks on her, so him waking her up in the middle of the night and coming to the hotel meant there must be an emergency.

"This is really bad," Lin Chan said with his handsome and delicate face showing concern all the way here, "I just received news not long ago that someone is spreading rumors claiming that Lanteng Company’s He Zhilan is actually the real Gu Family heir, Gu Zhilan. Right now, we haven’t had time to trace the source of these rumors, but by tomorrow, it’ll probably cause a citywide commotion.

Therefore, Zhilan must leave the capital immediately. "

"Where will she go if she leaves the capital? She still needs to undergo treatment," He Teng said fully on edge, as if he was ready to catch and torture the person spreading rumors behind the scenes.

"Right now, the most important thing is to protect Zhilan," Lin Chan said with a headache, "There’s no transportation back to the military base right now, and even if Zhilan went back to your unit, it might not be safe for her. She needs to lay low for now. I’ve already arranged a car; she’ll leave the capital overnight first, and then tomorrow, we will figure out the next steps. "

"It seems that’s the only option." He Teng nodded in agreement, "I’ll go with her."

"Brother, don’t you still have matters to attend to in the capital?

If you leave without a word, aren’t you worried about the military holding you accountable?

" He Zhilan was scared, and she wanted He Teng to accompany her, but she also knew that He Teng currently had many important things to take care of.

He Teng didn’t say anything; he was aware that not only did he have many things to do, but they were also very important.

But to let He Zhilan leave alone, he was absolutely uneasy a thousand times over, "First thing tomorrow morning I’ll call the military base, have the commander assign someone else to take over my duties here."

"That’s very manly of you!" Lin Chan gave He Teng a thumbs-up. He knew He Teng was a soldier and often couldn’t control his own circumstances, so he initially didn’t expect He Teng to leave with them.

Because he understood this, he didn’t think to blame He Teng.

However, when He Teng decided to leave his responsibilities to protect He Zhilan, Lin Chan sincerely admired him from the bottom of his heart.

"Then you two should hurry and pack. The car is already waiting at the back door of the hotel. You need to get out of the capital first, and we’ll look into what to do next tomorrow morning," Lin Chan urged, ensuring that at least He Zhilan would leave the capital tonight.
