"Gu Yinian, you're seriously out of the loop," Li Yu teased. "Guess what the head of the Jiang family spilled just recently, after keeping it hush-hush for over two decades?"
Gu Yinian regarded Li Yu with a mix of bewilderment and intrigue. "What secret?" he inquired.
"Jiang Jun isn't even related to the Jiang Family, let alone being Ling 'er's biological brother," Li Yu revealed.
The revelation hit Gu Yinian like a bolt of lightning, leaving him utterly shocked. He stammered, "So, all those rumors outside are false? Why didn't the Jiang family set the record straight?"
"Gu Yinian," Li Yu asked, "do you recall why you resigned from your position? Still clueless about the reason?"
With that, Li Yu turned and departed.
Gu Yinian's realization struck him like a punch to the gut. He had likely infuriated Li Yu this time. Regret welled up within him as he called out, "Li Yu, where are you going? Wait for me. Don't walk so fast. Don't be so petty!"
