"Mom, Lan Song said back then that if I wanted to know who Gu Zhilan was and where she was now, I should let her go.

Gu Zhilan is Gu Zhilan, why is there even a question of who Gu Zhilan is?

Could it be because Gu Zhilan is now called by another name?

And the reason Lan Song kidnapped He Zhilan is that he knew He Zhilan is Gu Zhilan.

Lan Song feels that He Teng, being just a minor soldier, has no right to release him, so he planned from the start to use Gu Zhilan as a shield to negotiate terms with me because he believes that by holding Gu Zhilan, he is essentially holding a treasure to both the Gu Family and the Lan Family, and they would definitely release him for the sake of Gu Zhilan. "

After hearing this, Lan’s mother became visibly shocked, "Are you saying that He Zhilan is indeed our Miss Zhilan from the Gu Family?"

Lan Li nodded gravely.

"God help us! I hope this isn’t true!" Lan’s mother became instantly anxious.

"Mom?" Lan Li frowned in confusion.

"Son, think about it. Is there not deep enmity between He Zhilan and the Gu Family? He Zhilan’s child was even aborted by your aunt, and back then, He Zhilan was almost killed by Xiao’en.

How did our Lan Family and the Gu Family threaten He Zhilan?

If He Zhilan really is Gu Zhilan, how can your uncle and aunt accept this?

They have tortured their own daughter for years and even caused the loss of their own grandchild.

Are they trying to drive your aunt mad?"

"..." Lan Li was at a loss for words. Indeed, if He Zhilan was really Gu Zhilan, this truth would be too cruel for the Gu Family and for He Zhilan.

"Mom, didn’t you say that when the old master Gu passed away, He Zhilan was the last one to see him?

Moreover, he passed away with a smile on his face.

I remember Grandma Gu mentioning that the old master Gu’s biggest wish in life was to find his granddaughter, and right before he was hospitalized due to being angered by Gu En, he had been looking at the possessions left behind by Gu Zhilan.

So why was the old master Gu so at peace before he passed, with the company of He Zhilan?

Could it be because he knew that He Zhilan was Gu Zhilan? "

"How could old master Gu have known?" Lan’s mother was puzzled, "How could the gravely ill old man know something that no one else did?"

"What if He Zhilan herself told the old master when she saw that he was on his last breath?" Lan Li admitted that his guess was bold, but he also felt that this conjecture was the closest to the truth, "Mom, think carefully about what you said Xiao’en said during the old master’s birthday in his freshman year when He Zhilan left, and the words she spoke to the old master. Wasn’t He Zhilan’s expression incredibly sorrowful at that time? "

"Are you suggesting that He Zhilan knew she was Gu Zhilan?

So, knowing that the old master was dying, she specifically went to see him and revealed that she herself was Gu Zhilan, and therefore, the old master passed away peacefully having fulfilled his longtime wish of seeing his own granddaughter? "

Before Lan Li could respond, Lan’s mother spoke with gravity, "We must investigate this matter thoroughly! But first, don’t let your aunt and uncle know about it!"

After a pause, Lan’s mother sighed, "To be honest, deep down I truly pray that all of your speculations are wrong. I would prefer that Gu Zhilan remains missing than for He Zhilan to be Gu Zhilan because that truth would be too grievous..."
