Chapter 1052: Evidence Given by Gu En 6
As she spoke, Granny Gu’s memory, following her words, drifted back to those days.
"I clearly remember, after He Zhilan returned from her ordeal at the Ghost Gate, when she woke up, we went to see her, tried to make her drop the case, even threatened her. Do you remember the look in her eyes then? Back then, I never understood, what was the despair in her sorrowful eyes all about?" Granny Gu bitterly smiled, "Now I understand what she meant by restoring her life and owing nothing. Back then, with so many suspicious matters, why didn’t we pay more attention and investigate thoroughly?"
"God is punishing us, back then, we used our power to oppress, the one we hurt, was our Miss Zhilan." Gu Mother wept continuously, "My daughter~ my poor daughter~"
"Granny, Aunt, let’s focus on investigating first," Lan Li lowered his gaze, indeed, he couldn’t deny, the answer in his heart was exactly so.
Still, Lan Li wanted to investigate personally.
"He Teng is not in the military now, and no one knows where He Zhilan is, Lin Chan and the others know the truth, but surely won’t tell the truth. Right now, there’s only one way to investigate, to go back to He Teng’s hometown," Lan Li said, "I’ll ask for a leave from the military and go personally."
"I want to go too, I want to see the place where Zhilan grew up," Gu Mother urgently said, "I want to go to the place where she grew up, to see the place where she lived for so many years."
"Aunt, you better not go, I can go alone." Lan Li didn’t dare tell Gu Mother that the He Family’s conditions were poor, the He Family lived in a very remote and poor village, if indeed He Zhilan was Gu Zhilan, Gu Mother visiting the He Family’s old home would only bring her more pain.
