"But now that I know the true face of the godfather, I suddenly think that you are probably not the first person to know this secret. My father also had knowledge of the godfather’s true identity." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Initially, when Third Young Master Jun told her about the godfather’s real identity, she was shocked by the godfather’s identity but did not think deeply about it.

Later on, she vaguely felt something strange but could never fully realize it.

It was not until she was about to leave the Su Family area that her unease gradually grew. A flash of insight suddenly came to her, and she realized that the godfather’s identity was related to the secret her father kept, otherwise, how could there be so many coincidences.

If she was right, many odd occurrences could be explained.

Hua Lunxi mentioned that her father had been secretly pursued, leading to more severe injuries and eventually his death; thinking back on Su Feiman’s relationship with Ivan’s family, his repeated focus on Yiren, even forcing Third Young Master Jun to marry Yiren, the purpose behind this was probably related to his identity.

Therefore, it must be because her father had held onto his secret, fearing that Yiren, the successor, might expose his deeply hidden secret.

"Since the godfather wants to retrieve his secret through Yiren, but Yiren can’t unlock the secret, wouldn’t such a shrewd mind be suspicious? Yiren was able to enter this area to pursue me, right under his watch; even if he isn’t sure that I am the Lady of the Hua family, he probably could guess halfway. Instead of letting me fall into Yiren’s hands, he would probably prefer to have me directly within his own grasp, controlling me and sealing my lips!"

The more Ye Lu spoke, the brighter her eyes became, emitting a sharp radiance.

Third Young Master Jun also felt a shock in his heart upon listening. Always sharp, he combined the various details she mentioned, and thinking about the usual style of the godfather, he couldn’t help but frown deeply.

It was likely that Ye Lu’s guess was completely correct.

The godfather was extremely cautious, and if he knew of Ye Lu’s identity, he would absolutely not allow her to fall into someone else’s hands, holding onto his secret and becoming his threat.

He would definitely do everything in his power to capture Ye Lu.

This is terribly bad.

Now Ye Lu is even more dangerous than he is; he only had control over the godfather’s identity, while Ye Lu definitely held the godfather’s crucial evidence.

"But with you running back like this, you immediately made it clear that you knew his background," Third Young Master Jun said with a bit of helplessness.

Ye Lu bit her lip: "What could I do? I couldn’t just let him capture me. I wanted to hide quietly, but while I was hiding, I accidentally encountered a patrol on the street, saw them parading a group of spies, and within that group, there was one person."

Third Young Master Jun’s eyes changed, frowning: "Xie Wen?"

"Right, somehow, he got caught, and I was afraid that if he was forced to confess, he might reveal everything, exposing you. So I rushed back to tell you."

Ye Lu showed a bit of smugness.

"I made it back just in time. You were just about to enter the village head’s house, I think they probably already phoned the village head to secretly capture you. But now, I guess both of our identities are completely exposed."

Ye Lu’s beautiful face showed a bitter smile; in such a situation, she didn’t know whether to feel fortunate or unfortunate.

Third Young Master Jun held her in his arms, also very aware of the current life-threatening crisis.

"The godfather will set up a net of heaven and earth to catch us."

Ye Lu shrugged her shoulders, looking at him with a bitter smile: "And this is his territory, we are like turtles in a jar here, getting caught is probably just a matter of time."
