‘Lan Jun was driving under the influence?’

Gu WeiJun's first reaction was exactly that. But looking at Lan Jun's appearance, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see any sign of drunkenness.

That left only one answer.

His expression turned serious, and his tone carried a trace of anger.

"Someone attacked you?"

Hearing Gu WeiJun speak out the truth, HuMing followed along and continued.

"On the way home just now, someone was following us the entire time. I noticed them and told Lan Jun to step on the gas and leave, but I didn't expect the other party to recklessly accelerate and ram towards us. They even rolled down the window and tried to shoot me from behind."

Listening to HuMing recount the incident in such a calm tone, Gu WeiJun almost thought HuMing was making up a movie plot.

But the sorry state HuMing was in seemed to validate his story.

"Luckily, Lan Jun acted decisively and pressed the car against theirs, forcing both vehicles into the river. It seems the other party was wary of something, so they fled as soon as they got ashore."

"Are you two hurt?" Gu WeiJun scanned both of them, only relaxing when he confirmed they were unharmed.

Judging by what HuMing described, the fact they escaped unscathed truly was a stroke of luck.

But this matter had to be thoroughly investigated.

Gu WeiJun rubbed his chin, lost in thought. Meanwhile, Mo QingXia handed them two towels—one to Lan Jun, while she personally wiped the water droplets from HuMing's hair.

"I'll make some ginger tea when we get back. The first thing you need to do is take a hot shower. If you catch a cold tomorrow, it'll be a hassle. But seriously... It's only been a few days, and you're already caught up in something like this. Those people must be insane!"

Hearing what had happened tonight left Mo QingXia shaken.

If HuMing hadn't been lucky, dying out here wouldn't have been the least bit surprising.

She made a mental note to light two extra incense sticks in the morning.

As Mo QingXia fussed over HuMing, Gu WeiJun suddenly thought of something.

‘Why did HuMing call me out alone? Could it be... there's still a traitor within the Gu family?’

Once the idea took root, Gu WeiJun couldn't stop thinking about the internal strife from before — a purge that had swept through most of the Gu family, with many of those eliminated being his own elders.

He had long been aware of the problem, but it still shocked him to realize how many uncles had been waiting to snatch power from his hands.

After that, he'd become meticulous about who was allowed into the family circle.

Yet in less than a month since HuMing's return, there had already been two assassination attempts — clear proof that the danger was far from eliminated.

If things continued like this, sooner or later, something would happen to HuMing.

But what troubled him even more was... why were they only targeting HuMing? What was the significance of going after him?

Gu WeiJun turned to look at HuMing—only to find HuMing staring right back at him.

It was as if HuMing had read his mind, leaving Gu WeiJun momentarily uncomfortable.

"Uncle, are you thinking this might be an inside job?"

"Hmm? Do you have another guess?"

"Yes. I think their goal is simply to disrupt the fragile peace the Gu family has finally regained. We've only just re-established ourselves in JingDu—if something happens now, the whole family will be on high alert again. As for why they're targeting me... maybe they just don't like me."

HuMing spoke with a smile, but Lan Jun, standing nearby, looked at him in surprise.

He had thought HuMing would immediately bring up 'Blizzard', but instead, HuMing had taken the time to explain things to Gu WeiJun.

But no one knew what Blizzard's true purpose was.

Right now, HuMing's situation was anything but safe.

"You're suggesting I shouldn't make a move? But your life is in danger—I can't just stand by and do nothing!"

Gu WeiJun understood the meaning behind HuMing's words, but the Gu family would never ignore threats to their own.

That was both his pride and his bottom line.

He would never allow anyone to harm his family again.

"Uncle, do you know 'Blizzard'?"

The mention of that name made the still-seething Gu WeiJun instantly calm down, his eyes locking onto HuMing with a sharp intensity.

"Where did you hear that name?"

"...Back at my old home. One of the assassins belonged to Blizzard."

HuMing lied without blinking.

That assassin, Ah Gan, was actually one of Gu ZhaoChuan's subordinates—but today, HuMing needed to pin the blame on Blizzard.

Through Blizzard, he would uncover the truth.

His intuition told him Blizzard was tied to his origins.

If they wanted him dead now, perhaps they had played a role in the switch that took him away from the Gu family all those years ago.

It didn't matter if he didn't know Blizzard's secrets—Gu WeiJun did.

He would find the connections, and HuMing would piece them together.

Gu WeiJun's face darkened, his fists clenching at the name.

"I'll get to the bottom of this. For now, go home and rest."

He gestured for HuMing and the others to get in the car. Mo QingXia, standing by his side, frowned as she watched HuMing's retreating figure.

"That child must have suffered a lot. Imagine how many people have been trying to kill him before he even got to JingDu... I can't imagine how he survived all these years."

"The Han family protected him well. The assassinations only started after Han ShuYi was brought back. But the boy has guts—have you noticed? His courage is different from the other Gu children. If it were ZhaoChuan... he wouldn't have handled it this well."

"You don't trust your own son?"

"I know ZhaoChuan too well, that's why I'm saying this. If he doesn't change, one day, HuMing will surpass him."

Gu WeiJun slowly raised his head, gazing at the starry night sky.

For a moment, he couldn't decide whether to be happy for HuMing or worried for Gu ZhaoChuan.

Had he just thrown a giant catfish into the Gu family pond?

He didn't know.

All he could hope was that the Gu children would develop a sense of crisis—and stand together when the time came.

"Let's head home. This isn't something we'll let slide."

"Are you going to tell the others?"

"No. I'll handle this myself."
