Faced with the three people's doubts about her, Gao Ran chose to be silent, just looking at them with a light smile. It wasn't until they finally calmed down their emotions consciously, and after they were sure that they did have enough patience to listen to her slowly, Gao Ran spoke:

"Before I say this proposal, I must tell you one thing. It is only when you know the implications of this matter that you can understand why I am suggesting this.

"It is true that I do have the respective veins of the Yun family and the Fu family in my hands, which makes them dare not act rashly for the time being. But such containment is also time-limited.

"What I can ensure is that while I am still alive, neither the Yun family nor the Fu family will dare to make any changes, and Tiange will not dare to rashly break the current balance because of Qiu Yueze's obstruction. There is also the Banana Emperor of another big country across the country from our Yunxiang Country, even if he is actually eyeing the Banana Kingdom all the time - just like the Yunhuang Emperor is to the Banana Kingdom, but because there is me here and the main forces of the Heavenly Pavilion, therefore, this Jiaohuang will not dare to easily invade Yunxiang and take advantage of the fire to rob.

"But, once I'm dead, then my restraint on them will be completely ineffective. At that point, the balance will be quickly upset. Even if the Fu family or the Yun family would not be the first to provoke the war, they would definitely be involved. - The Gao family is not immune.

"Even if the Medical Valley is not involved, Tiange will definitely not be willing to just watch from the sidelines, and does not want to take the opportunity to participate in the struggle for the ultimate dominance of Yunxiang. Once Qiu Yueze is no longer bound by me, the future direction of Tiange will only be submissive to his own truest wishes.

"I must remind you: from what I know about Qiu Yueze, the reason why he has not moved for a long time is not because he does not have this ambition, but in his heart, I have priority over his ambition, so he is willing to temporarily not break the current balance for my sake. But once I'm dead, there will be no one in this world who can hold him back. At that time, the true face of the Heavenly Pavilion Pavilion Lord, you will definitely see it again for a long time. - Although, it's not a good thing......

"It can be said that as long as I die, it is inevitable and inevitable that the major forces in Yunxiang will have a head-on conflict between the major forces in Yunxiang, whether it is for self-preservation or for power, resulting in large-scale turmoil in Yunxiang. And once there is a large-scale turmoil in Yunxiang, the Banana Emperor may not just watch from the sidelines and not want to take advantage of others......

"At that time, Yun Xiang will really be troubled internally and externally! You shouldn't be naïve to think that the Yun family, the Fu family, and Tiange will be willing to give up their own ambitions just because they are afraid that the Banana Emperor may come at any time, and everyone will unite together to defend Yunxiang and fight against the Banana Kingdom, right?

"If you were any of the three of them, would you be willing, and would you be able to endure the perpetual peace with such a dangerous henchman?

"Furthermore, don't forget, in addition to Tiange's own power in Yunxiang, it also has its own power that should not be underestimated in the surrounding small countries and banana countries. If Tiange really wanted to seize Yunxiang, then it would not be afraid of the Banana Emperor. Rather, if the Heavenly Pavilion had the advantage, then the Banana Emperor would dispel the idea of attacking Yunxiang......

"I'm not afraid to tell you that this year's Banana Emperor was able to ascend the throne smoothly thanks to the help of me and Tiange. Although he is indeed capable, he was already quite prestigious before he ascended the throne, and after ascending the throne, he quickly got rid of his biggest political enemy, grasped real power, and completely established his prestige as the banana emperor in the court...... But even so, if it weren't for me and Tiange's help, at the beginning, let alone the throne, he wouldn't even have his life guaranteed.

"Therefore, just because I have a close relationship with Tiange and this Banana Emperor, with his fatal weakness in my hands, and because he is bound to have a more intimate and complex relationship with Tiange in the future—even to the extent that fortune and misfortune depend on each other—he has to be afraid of me and Tiange in everything.

"Therefore, if Yunxiang is controlled by the Heavenly Pavilion in the future, then the Banana Emperor may not easily defeat Yunxiang's idea, but if the final winner is not the Heavenly Pavilion, then no matter which other party gains power, it will inevitably suffer from a possible threat from the Banana Emperor when it has not recovered its vitality and has become extremely vulnerable due to the wear and tear of the war.

"Looking back at our Gao family, it should not be difficult for you to think that as long as I die, whether you have the same ambition or not, the Gao family will inevitably be involved. In addition to participating in the competition, the Gao family has no other choice.

"However, in fact, there are less than two and a half years left for you to really have to consider whether you want to fight with the other forces, or choose to strengthen yourself and participate in the fight as an independent person. - Because, if nothing else, I will only live for another two and a half years at most.

"But you can't expect to have two and a half years to think about it slowly and prepare slowly, but you have to do everything you can to do it as much as possible within two years, otherwise, the Gao family will be doomed to become a fish to be slaughtered on the chopping block of others.

"Don't say I didn't remind you: although the Yun Clan and the Banana Emperor still don't know about my death, the Heavenly Pavilion and the Fu Family already know. In fact, they have already begun to quietly prepare for the time when they will have to wait at most two and a half years from now, that is, after I die, to ensure that they can seize the most advantageous advantage at that time. ”

It may be that Gao Ran said too many things in one breath that were enough to surprise and shock them, although she said "one thing", but what she said made them realize that the "one thing" that Gao Ran said in his mouth was simply an extremely complex and influential thing that was finally intertwined with several interrelated things. Where is this as simple as "one thing" that they originally thought?!

All three were silent. Each has its own thoughts, but they all feel inconvenient to speak rashly before they can fully understand the whole thing Gao Ran said.

At this moment, Gao Xi reached out and grabbed Gao Ran's hand on the table, ignoring the eyes of others.

Gao Ran knew that he was angry, angry that she had hidden from him that she had not had much time. But at the same time, she could also feel that he was more reluctant to her, and he refused to let go, unwilling to let go.

Gao Ran glanced at Gao Xi a little apologetically, then stopped looking at him, and only continued to focus on the three people in front of her. But she didn't withdraw her hand from Gao Xi's hand, only let him continue to hold one of his hands, let him clench it tighter and tighter, and she just silently endured the faint pain and let him.

But this scene was clearly seen by the three of them in their eyes and hearts. It was as if they had suddenly received an unexpected key, which opened the same breakthrough in their hearts, although they had different directions in their hearts, but the starting point was unexpectedly the same.

It's just that at this moment, the most suitable of the three of them to ask this is only Gao Lan. And she naturally focused her eyes on Gao Ran's hand that was held tightly by Gao Xi, and asked them, "Who are you?"

An unmarried man openly took the initiative to shake the woman's hand, still in front of the woman's mother, and still held it so tightly...... In this way, it would be too self-deceptive to say that they are just "close friends"!

Their intuition told them that the relationship between these two people must be related to the "purpose" that Gao Ran mentioned earlier, but did not elaborate on, was her own "purpose" that she had to set as the highest priority! They both felt that if they could know the true relationship between Gao Ran and Gao Xi, they might be able to find a compromise that would balance their own different goals with Gao Ran's, so as to persuade Gao Ran to be willing to help him, instead of having to passively follow her arrangements as before......

By now, the three of them all knew that they must not be tough against Gao Ran, but they also didn't expect to tempt her with benefits - Gao Ran even had more than they had, and they had nothing that could tempt her at all. However, since Gao Ran would take the initiative to negotiate with them, and specially invited a group of bystanders to watch the whole process in the dark, she must have something that she needed their help to achieve - and this was the only bargaining chip they could use to negotiate the terms with her.

Therefore, in order to obtain the qualification to negotiate the terms fairly with Gao Ran, the first thing they have to do is to figure out as soon as possible: what is Gao Ran's real purpose, which she regards as taking precedence over the interests of the Gao family?

And at this moment, the only breakthrough that can help them figure out this matter as soon as possible is the real relationship between Gao Ran and Gao Xi.
