Chapter 369: Chapter 369
The scorching sun blazed down as the winds rose and clouds gathered.
Beneath the willow tree, their eyes met, and silence lingered for a long time!
Gu Tong took a step forward, walked into the shade under the willow tree, leaned against the side of the tree trunk, and remained parallel to Mo Zishuang, saying, "Professor Mo, are we going to spend three minutes in silence?"
Gu Tong had no opinion on how to spend these three minutes, but she had some ideas on how to avoid trouble.
Her intention to talk to Mo Zishuang was clear — she wanted to solve it once and for all, to eliminate all hidden dangers completely.
"If Professor Mo doesn’t want to speak, then let me. Regarding the earlier issue, I believe Li Yan has already told you. I joined this class for Li Yan; wherever he is, there I will be. It’s that simple..."
In the end, matters had to be spoken out. Gu Tong chose to be straightforward first, but she knew that her words would not have much effect, merely serving as a way to start the topic.
"Are you Gu Qing’s sister?"
Mo Zishuang finally parted her cold lips, but the sentence she uttered shocked Gu Tong.
The Gu Qing she referred to was none other than Gu Tong’s own brother! He was currently serving in a certain military department, so he rarely had the chance to return, and it was hard to meet.
"Do you know him?" Gu Tong raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Based on her past life’s memories, her brother brought his sister-in-law home in the winter of ’94 and set the wedding date that month, getting registered.
She originally thought they registered not long after meeting, but she didn’t expect there was a background story.
"Military school classmates!"
Mo Zishuang also graduated from military school and considering the age, they indeed belonged to the same batch as Gu Qing, so it was no issue.
Gu Tong nodded, finally sorting out the relationship, and discovering that her brother had known the sister-in-law for a long time already, which wasn’t surprising...
"He probably doesn’t know you’re married, right?"
Mo Zishuang casually mentioned something irrelevant, seemingly without any intention to discuss the main topic.
She rambled on unrelated topics, and Gu Tong didn’t mind. After all, there were only three minutes, and she was willing to go along.
"He is also a trainee, somewhat special compared to us, unable to communicate freely. It’s not too late to discuss when he returns." This update is available on NoveI★Fire.net
Gu Tong interjected with some careful thoughts and deliberately mentioned her brother’s situation, allowing her future sister-in-law to understand more about him.
A flicker of an unknown emotion flashed in Mo Zishuang’s eyes. She pressed her lips but did not prepare to continue this topic, saying, "You don’t have to participate in this mission! However, there is one thing I must tell you in advance! If something goes wrong in this mission, Li Yan will definitely have an accident within fifteen years!"
With those words, Gu Tong’s heart was like a stormy sea, her eyes widened, fixated on Mo Zishuang, unwilling to look away...
Actually, before the talk with Mo Zishuang, she’d thought a lot, including how she would try to persuade her, but no matter how much she imagined, she couldn’t have expected her to say that!
"It might not even take fifteen years, maybe twelve or thirteen..." Mo Zishuang added with a self-deprecating remark.
But just those words were enough to completely uplift and twist Gu Tong’s heart, calculating the time of Li Yan’s accident in her past life, indeed less than fifteen years...
Exactly twelve years!
"What do you know!" Gu Tong roared like an agitated lion, her sharp claws itching to tear her enemy apart!
Thinking of the tragic past life, it was as if a crack appeared, tearing open an edge, with darkness spilling out, ready to unveil the world within.
Such unknown circumstances, for Gu Tong, who once risked her life to uncover the truth! It was simply fatal...
