Chapter 617: Chapter 617: Have You Fallen for Me 10_1

"I know I was wrong. I won’t do it again, stop hitting me, I’m already foolish enough. If you hit me more, I’ll really become more foolish." He Zhilan raised her hand to touch her head that had been hit several times by Lin Chan, mumbling with her head down, but her heart was warmed.

In this world, one should cherish everyone who bothers to nag and criticize, because if they didn’t truly care, they wouldn’t bother to do it.

"Never mind, seeing you like this, you probably haven’t had breakfast. Let me take you to get something to eat." Lin Chan put her hand down, grabbed her car keys and wallet, ushered He Zhilan to come along, and took her out of the company to find something to eat in the nearby city area.

At a small booth, He Zhilan weakly ate her noodles while Lin Chan sat aside, constantly staring at He Zhilan, "Tell me, what really happened yesterday?"

Speaking of this, He Zhilan lost even more of her appetite. Putting down her chopsticks, she finally said, "I don’t know how my brother found out I am Gu Zhilan. Maybe I’m overthinking, but I feel like his attitude changed after because of this. He insisted that the He Family is a sparrow and I am an eagle, and he was stubborn about not letting me join the army."

"How could he know if you didn’t tell him?" Lin Chan was taken aback, "A fortune teller?"

"I think Lan Li might have had something to do with it. Last weekend, when I was in the army, Lan Li suddenly came to me with some questions. I think he was suspicious. My guess is Lan Li mentioned something about it to my brother and then he guessed it." He Zhilan said in a low voice, "Before I came to the capital for college, I told my brother that my name was Gu Zhilan. I also mentioned that my father was a soldier, his surname was Gu, and my mother’s surname was Lan. So my brother guessing it wouldn’t be surprising."

"I’m not very familiar with the details between you two as a couple, and I haven’t known He Mutou for very long. I’ll talk to Xing Ye later. He knows He Teng better, or maybe he can help find out for you. However, your brother didn’t tell Lan Li about you, did he?"

Lin Chan became more serious, "It’s pretty much settled. In a few months, Xing Ye will be transferred to a position out of province for some time. After he comes back, it is very likely that he will become the youngest leader in our country’s history."

When she reached this point, Lin Chan paused, her eyes filled with concern as she looked at He Zhilan, "If at this point, your identity is exposed, and Gu Zhilan appears in everyone’s view, do you know what you will become? A target, a target that everyone aims at."

He Zhilan shook her head, "My brother didn’t tell Lan Li. Lan Li probably also thinks that I am not Gu Zhilan, so he didn’t ask me anything when he saw me."

Lin Chan’s description of being a target scared He Zhilan herself. On one side was Xing Ye, on the other was the Gu Family. If people found out at this point that she was Gu Zhilan, she would indeed become a moving target.

"Although the Gu family is not directly competing with Xing Ye for power, the Gu family is Xing Ye’s biggest assistant, even a military advisor. If Gu Zhilan, the daughter of the Gu Family who disappeared for thirteen years, suddenly appeared, she would inevitably attract everyone’s attention. Also, because of your current good relationship with us, aside from people wanting to use you, many would be uncertain of their standing and at this point, they would want to remove you, the obvious signpost."
