"Why..."
"Wife, you know I can't do that." Lin Xiao's voice was tinged with heartache. "You should know, I can't take them all down at once, nor can I achieve that."
Luo Qinghan understood.
The Gu family…
Once the Gu family was gone, Modu would likely fall into chaos. This meant that as long as the Gu family didn't touch certain forbidden things, they could continue to exist. As long as their good deeds outweighed their bad, they would still be the Gu family.
"Just like the Nangong family," Lin Xiao tilted his head back, holding his daughter's hand. He suddenly looked up.
He pointed to the kindest star in the sky. "Darling, do you know what star that is?"
"That shiny one?" Xun'er followed Lin Xiao's gaze and saw the bright North Star. "I don't know."
"That's called the North Star. It guides people in the dark and always shines the brightest," Lin Xiao said.
"Mhm!"
Xun'er nodded.
Even though the Nangong family was the mastermind behind the tragedy that befell Lin Xiao's family, Lin Xiao hadn't destroyed them outright. He had only taken away those who had been pulling the strings behind the scenes.
What surprised Lin Xiao at the time was that the investigation revealed Nangong Wushuang was not the one who had been trying to destroy the Lin family for 'Overbearing True Qi'.
The mastermind was actually the Great Elder. Not only that, but the bomb in Nangong Wushuang's car that day was also arranged by the Great Elder.
More than half of the Nangong family members were now gone.
Nangong Wushuang was also busy trying to maintain the current state of the Nangong family.
The Gu family was faring better.
…
The film crew smoothly began shooting, with Ye Qing becoming the new lead. This news spread.
But this was nothing compared to what shocked the outside world the most: Gu Hanyun not only did not pursue Director Chen but also increased investment in the film crew at this time!
To be precise, it wasn't just investment. He even publicly stated, "I feel this theme is excellent. Longguo is lacking such excellent and profound films. Therefore, I've decided to invest five hundred million without seeking returns."
The laymen watched the spectacle, but those who knew Gu Hanyun's temper thought differently.
Someone immediately began speculating if there was some significant figure in Director Chen's crew that forced Gu Hanyun into such a self-defeating choice.
However, no one knew who this influential figure might be.
Another piece of news released was Luo Qinghan's participation.
The online discussion intensified.
Some said Gu Hanyun was interested in Luo Qinghan, which was why he did this.
Some even claimed that Luo Qinghan had a significant relationship with Gu Hanyun, which led to her joining the crew.
The most outrageous claim was that someone claimed to have personally seen Luo Qinghan dining with Gu Hanyun, suggesting a close relationship.
Soon, the rumor that Luo Qinghan was the second Sister Shuang began to circulate, with people speaking with conviction.
In short, netizens' imaginations ran wild!
However, when these remarks reached Lin Xiao and Gu Hanyun, their reactions were quite different.
Lin Xiao thought these netizens were truly idle and should write novels.
As for Gu Hanyun…
He immediately contacted people, began a frenzy of online reputation management, and issued a statement declaring he did not know Luo Qinghan…
