Chapter 339: Chapter 339: DNA Test

"I do, but I don’t consider it as important." Gu Jihu said with a cold expression on his face.

Gu Aihan was stunned. Was this still the same doting brother who used to fulfill all of her demands?

Was this cold young man still the same person who promised to protect her till the end?

Gu Aihan’s eyes widened and she asked in a trembling voice, "You know her true identity?"

Gu Jihu paused and turned to Gu Aihan, with narrowed eyes he asked,

"So you knew her true identity all along and were deliberately targeting her?"

Gu Aihan’s heart skipped a beat. Within a moment she came up with a lie, "You want to sponsor her knowing her talent?"

"What do you mean?" Gu Jihu was baffled by Gu Aihan’s words.

In a confident voice, Gu Aihan repeated with a pout on her face, "Aren’t you talking about her identity as a talented orphan who got admitted to Beijing University?"

The atmosphere stilled. For a moment no one spoke before Gu Jihu chuckled and asked,

"Gu Aihan, do you take me for a fool?"

The carefree expression etched on Gu Aihan’s face was replaced by a look of confusion as if she truly couldn’t understand Gu Jihu’s words.

Without waiting for Gu Aihan’s explanation, Gu Jihu walked away with Gu Jin in his arms.

As the distance between them widened Gu Aihan’s expression turned icy. A faint mocking smile appeared in her eyes.

Her second brother was truly sharp.

Gu Aihan didn’t rush to salvage the situation.

What can she salvage?

The head of the Gu Family only loves her because they think she is Gu Jin.

As for the Gu siblings? She never considered them as her own.

A hint of loneliness appeared in Gu Aihan’s eyes.

Since her childhood, she has tried her best to make connections, so that even if she ever was kicked out from the Gu Family, she won’t be penniless.

With her innocent persona and sweet smile, Gu Aihan easily won the hearts of many young masters.

She had saved up a lot of money too.

Even if the Gu Family kicks her out she won’t starve.

Yet the cruel reality slapped on her face when Gu Aihan realized that without Gu Family she was nothing.

Even the connections she was proud of, would leave her side if she was kicked out of the Gu Family.

Hence when the mysterious person appeared and offered to help her(Gu Aihan) find Gu Jin before the Gu Family and kill Gu Jin upon finding her, she agreed.

With the help of a mysterious person, she made some other real connections too.

At one point she even made a lot of money. Honestly, she could have just left.

Yet she was unwilling. Unwilling to give up the love she got from the head of the Gu Family.

Unwilling to give up the love of her second brother.

Unwilling to give up the perfect stepping stone.

Unwilling to give up the fame she got due to her dumb eldest brother’s achievements.

Unwilling to give up on the fool, who can only marry her even if she is cheating on him.

Since she and Gu Jin were swapped at birth, doesn’t it mean that even the gods want her, Gu Aihan to enjoy the luxury?

Gu Jihu wasn’t the fool she had thought.

His sharp eyes had caught her hesitation, and his cold words cut deeper than she wanted to admit.

For the first time in years, she felt a flicker of fear—what if everything she worked for slipped through her fingers?

But Gu Aihan quickly shook the thought away.

No, she wasn’t going to lose. She had survived too much to let someone like Gu Jin ruin her plans now.

She hurriedly returned to her dorm room. She reached into a small box hidden under her bed and pulled out a shiny, black communication stone.

Her fingers trembled slightly, but she steadied herself.

Crushing it would summon the mysterious person who had been helping her in secret.

She hesitated for a moment.

Once she called them, there would be no turning back. But what choice did she have?

Gu Jihu was already suspicious, and Gu Jin’s presence threatened everything she had built.

With a sharp exhale, she clenched the stone in her palm and crushed it.

The shards sparkled and dissolved into the air, leaving behind a faint mist.

A moment later, the mist swirled and formed the outline of a hooded figure.

Their face was obscured, and their voice was low and emotionless.

"You called," the figure said.

"Yes," Gu Aihan replied, her voice steady despite the knot in her stomach. "It’s time. Gu Jin is getting too close to the family, and my second brother is starting to figure things out."

The hooded figure tilted its head. "And what do you want me to do?"

"I want Gu Jin gone for good," Aihan said coldly. "But it has to be done carefully. If anything points back to me, I’ll lose everything."

The figure chuckled softly, a sound that sent a shiver down her spine. "Careful? You’ve already gotten this far by playing dirty, haven’t you? Why stop now?"

Gu Aihan frowned. "Just tell me if you can do it or not."

"I can," the figure said, their voice dripping with confidence. "But it won’t come cheap. Eliminating someone like Gu Jin requires resources, and I’ll need more from you."

Aihan’s fingers tightened into fists.

This was the only reason why she didn’t ask the black hooded figure to help her kill Gu Jin directly.

He will want something...something way out of her league or something that will destroy the Gu Family completely.

Earlier she was connected to the Gu family and couldn’t harm them, but now...

Either she hid the details carefully or be ready to be confronted by the Gu family who will kill her to avenge their real daughter.

She hated being dependent on this person, but she didn’t have a choice. "What do you need?"

"Access to the Gu Family’s accounts," the figure said. "Even a small crack in their financial system will do. You’ll create the opening, and I’ll take care of the rest."

Gu Aihan hesitated. "And Gu Jin?"

The figure’s voice was calm but chilling. "Leave her to me. She won’t be a problem much longer."

Aihan felt a mix of relief and unease. She hated relying on someone else, but the promise of getting rid of Gu Jin was too tempting to resist.

"You know you still have a trump card in your hand." The black hodded figure said and Gu Aihan’s eyes sparkled.

"As long as it is a blood test, no one will doubt your identity. Did you forget how that idiot Long Yifan tried to do a secret blood test of yours and got a disappointing result?" The black hooded figure continued.

Gu Aihan’s unease vanished completely. With a smile she said,

"Thank you for planning everything in so advance."

The black hooded figure waved his hand in a dismissive manner and said,

"Now go and do a DNA blood test between yourself and Mrs. Gu. As long as the DNA blood test result comes out positive, Gu Jin can only be an illegitimate child, while you will still be a biological daughter of the Gu Family."

Gu Aihan nodded with a gleam in her eyes and said to the black hooded figure in a soft voice,

"Thank you for guiding me."

"I will leave now."

.........

Gu Jihu placed Gu Jin on the bed of his office. Just as he was examining her, Gu Jichun arrived.

Looking at Gu Jin she was instantly thrilled.

"Ah? Brother you brought Little Jin back? Yes! Yes! Eh? Is she sleeping...no...why is she unconscious?"

The excitement faded from Gu Jichun’s face when she saw Gu Jin’s state. A grin look appeared on her face, as she asked,

"Brother did Gu Aihan try to harm Gu Jin?"

"No. But I suspect that she already knows the true identity of Gu Jin and might have targeted her during the trip." Gu Jihu said. His voice not giving out his inner turmoil.

He was much more anxious than Gu Jichu. He just wanted Gu Jin to wake up soon so that he could confirm if she was the Gu Jin he knew.

Gu Jichun’s eyes darkened, and her aura slowly turned gloomy. A chuckle escaped her lips,

"Gu Aihan...will gauge her eyes out. Where is she?"

Gu Jihu shook his head, "Don’t."

Gu Jichun froze and her eyes widened in disbelief, "Second brother are you still going to protect her?"

Gu Jichun could swear that if her second brother dared to remain silent or agree, she would have a life-or-death duel with him.

With a disdainful expression, Gu Jihu rolled his eyes and explained,

"Do you want to give Gu Aihan a peaceful death? You are truly naive."
