Chapter 920: Chapter 920: Chaotic Year 11

"If you’re free then, I’ll go with you," He Teng replied. Watching He Zhilan wrap her arm around his, he gently patted the back of her hand, "Be good and wait for me at home, don’t go running around causing trouble."

He Zhilan’s eyelids lifted and her hand immediately let go, and she muttered discontentedly, "Do you think I’m a three-year-old child? Hurry and go!"

"Hehe~" He Teng, too, was amused by He Zhilan’s childish behavior. While putting on his military coat and chuckling with shaking shoulders, he reminded her of a few things before finally shutting the door and leaving.

After He Teng left, the whole house quieted down. Since they were discussing S Province affairs before, He Zhilan’s mind was still on what happened in S Province.

She originally thought that with the intervention of the Gu Family, the matter concerning Gu En would have come to an end. Little did she expect that it had simply gone from the open to the shadows.

However, upon reflection, that made sense, Xing Ye would not let go of Gu En so easily, nor would He Teng and the local military force let Niu Rang’s sacrifice be in vain.

Even if they temporarily lack evidence to prove Gu En’s guilt, everyone was clear in their hearts that Niu Rang’s death was related to Gu En.

In fact, thinking about the incidents that occurred in S Province, the night Niu Rang sacrificed himself, He Zhilan’s place was burgled, and a replica toy gun was stolen. The toy gun must have been taken by people sent by Gu En and Lan Song. That they did not come back for He Zhilan could mean two things.

One, the two did not know whether the gun hidden in the dress was real or a replica, they only knew it was a small black handgun; the second reason could be, they knew she had gone back with Xing Ye, and even if they took the wrong one, they would be aware that the real gun was no longer in her possession.

Later on, the two times Gu En appeared before He Zhilan were likely to test both He Zhilan and He Teng. Gu En wanted to know whether He Zhilan and He Teng were aware of her and the series of related events.

From what He Zhilan knew about Lan Song’s parents, their quiet trip to the capital must have been to find a way to take revenge on Gu En because, in their hearts, it was Gu En who killed Lan Song, it was Gu En and Lan Li who directly ended Lan Song’s life.

To be honest, He Zhilan did hope that Lan Song’s parents would do something earth-shattering to trouble Gu En.

He Zhilan had hated Gu En enough already, but now, with her greed in drug trafficking and the cruelty of causing Niu Rang’s death, He Zhilan felt an added sense of hatred towards Gu En.

She was the last person to see Niu Rang before he died, Niu Rang’s blood, in the rain-soaked alley late at night, stained her pair of hands red. And it was she who watched Niu Rang stop breathing and walk towards death before her eyes.

This time, He Teng went straight to the city and returned during the daytime, but after Lantern Festival, He Teng just couldn’t find the time to accompany He Zhilan to the capital.

In S Province, the development of the perfume had reached the final stage, and within two months they would launch Lanteng Company’s very own first perfume, so He Zhilan also needed to go to the capital to arrange the promotional activities before the product launch.

Delayed by the military duties for a few days, He Zhilan did not go to the capital until a week after the Lantern Festival.

With the Lantern Festival over, the festive atmosphere quickly dissipated, and the shops in the streets and alleys of the capital had all opened for business again. By the time He Zhilan arrived in the capital, Fang Therapy Pavilion had already been open for business for several days.
