Gao Ran's puzzlement did not get the slightest response from the two people in front of her, they all remained silent, and they seemed to have their own plans, but it was inconvenient to say - whether it was to Gao Ran or the other party beside her.

As the silence prolonged, Gao Ran gradually realized that she seemed to be a little too immersed in her own thoughts, and when she came back to her senses, she consciously tried to adjust herself back to the "bystander" mentality as soon as possible.

She realized that perhaps she couldn't understand the reason she had just now...... No, to be exact, since she has thoughts like "incomprehensible" - which in itself already shows that she has unconsciously brought herself into something that should not be related to her. Otherwise, as long as the division of the An family does not hinder her, then why does she have to bother to understand them?

This is indeed a taboo that she should not have committed.

"Perhaps, their silence at this time is because they know in their hearts where the line of 'nothing to do with themselves' is, so they have chosen the most appropriate way for them to deal with me. - Even if they may have their own ideas in their hearts. ”

Consciously comprehending the intention of the two of them to be silent at this time, Gao Ran quickly retracted his mind and asked in a straight manner: "Wen Xuan, in your opinion, then Gao Yu and my eldest sister Gao Qi - who of the two of them is more likely to succeed as the next head of the Gao family?—— I think that Gao Yu should not be so attentive to you for no reason." And you, if you don't know her intentions, you won't cooperate with her so much, will you? Do you two already have some agreement in private, or are you still testing each other? Also, she is so good at martial arts at a young age, do you know who she studied with?"

"I only know that she studied under the 'Martial Saint' when she was in the Twilight Academy, and she and the Third Prince are brothers and sisters. ”

"So, she not only knows Yun Zhen and Yu Qiwen, but also may have a close relationship with them?"

"Huh, Yu Qiwen, Ran'er, don't you know this person too?"

"Of course. When you decided to leave us and travel alone, the person you left behind was Yu Qiwen, who you mistook for an assassin. He had a close relationship with Yun Zhen at that time, and it is not an exaggeration to describe that they were like 'brothers' at that time. ”

"Oh - I remembered. It turned out to be him! So, the one who stayed with you to go into the mountains and hide for two years was Yu Qiwen?"

"That's right, it's him. However, if Gao Yu has a close relationship with Yun Zhen and Yu Qiwen, then I can't say whether Yu Qiwen will be more willing to favor me than her...... Anyway, before me, there must be Yun Zhen and his father in front. Even if I am friends with him, I guess I can't compare with them in terms of weight...... Alas, that's going to be a tough one......"

"Ran'er, I suspect that Gao Yu is likely to be from the Third Prince's side. Do you think, if she can do an internal response for the third prince in the future and help him eradicate the Fu family, then if the Gao family wants to not be implicated and continue to exist, won't it be only dependent on the Yun family? At that time, wouldn't it be logical for Gao Yu to succeed as the head of the Gao family?"

"Are you saying that Gao Yu not only wants to help Yun Zhen sit on the throne in the future, but she also wants to use the credit of helping him eradicate the Fu family and rely on his support to win the Gao family?" Gao Ran questioned this slightly, "However, isn't she worried that your Fu family will strike first and always put the Gao family before the Fu family, so that the Yun family must get rid of the Gao family before they can deal with the Fu family?"

"That's what I'm doing right now. ”

Fu Wenxuan directly responded to Gao Ran's questioning and explained:

"I had to stir up a wedge between them and break trust between them. Fortunately, they are not like us, and I believe that the 'closeness' between them is mainly maintained by interests, rather than understanding, so as long as Yun Zhen knows that our Fu family is already the biggest threat to their Yun family, and I am so close to Gao Yu, it is hard to guarantee that he will not suspect that Gao Yu may have two hearts—as long as she can help her win the Gao family, she will help the party that is more beneficial to her, rather than just Yun Zhen.

After all, as Gao Yu's identity, as long as she is not detected, then she can hide from both sides at the same time, not only pocket the benefits given by both sides, but also sell at the price, and choose the side that is most beneficial to her at the most critical time, but turn against the other side. - Whether it is for the third prince or for me, Gao Yu cannot be fully trusted. ”

"Don't you believe it all?"

Gao Ran took Fu Wenxuan's words and continued:

"It seems that things are far more complicated and unpredictable than I thought......

"Well, after three months, whether you want Amu's antidote or not, you can come and see me once. If you feel the need, then bring Gao Yu with you to see me. I think that after meeting Yu'er, Yun Zhen and Yu Qiwen, I can meet Gao Yu in person to estimate her most likely choice. Rather than speculating on which side she will end up on, or what she says is true and what she says is false, it is better to find out her hole cards from the beginning - for example, to find out what she wants most, what does she really want to satisfy when she wants to seize the Gao family?

"Knowing what she really wants, no matter how many tricks she may have on the surface, no matter how unpredictable the means she may use, she will eventually turn them towards the same end. And you, you just need to find a way to change in advance, which is something that you can participate in and can change, and it is some of the key prerequisites that she must have if she wants to achieve that goal. As long as those premises are changed, even if she has three heads and six arms, it will be difficult for her to bypass you and directly achieve her ultimate goal.

This is like what I am doing to Gao Liwen now: to keep you is to cut off one of the many key conditions that Gao Liwen must have in order to achieve his ultimate goal.

"Although I don't have the ability to break or change everything else, at least I can intervene or even change the condition of 'you' in advance. As long as this condition is changed, it is enough to affect the choice of means that Gao Liwen will take in the future to obtain other key conditions that he must have, as well as his own specific application of these conditions. - And such a change is enough to affect his future destiny.

"I can't guess how far Gao Liwen will go, but at least I can be sure that as long as he can't use you to extend his lifespan, the 'great cause' he wants to achieve will be doomed from the start. - If he only had this life, he would never have achieved it.

"And that was enough for me. ”

At this time, although Gao Ran couldn't see Fu Wenxuan in front of her clearly, she still looked directly at the blurred image in front of her, looked at him very firmly, and said to him:

"Wen Xuan, since Gao Yu can make you have such concerns, then I believe that she will definitely not just want the Gao family. - would have thought of using the Fu family and the Yun family to seize the Gao family, and dare to wander between you like this, and you couldn't do anything to her for a while. - Since she can have such ability, then in the future, if she really controls the Gao family, then the Gao family she controls will definitely not be completely reduced to a pawn in the hands of any of you like the 'An family' at that time.

"So, you must not take her lightly. More than the benefits she can bring to your Fu family, you should be more vigilant about the deadly threat she may pose to you. If necessary, it is better to get rid of her as soon as possible and break off the already fragile alliance with the Gao family than to keep her as a hidden danger and cause your Fu family to be destroyed in her hands in the end.

Of course, this is only the worst possible outcome with the Gao family that can be thought of at the moment. But in fact, if you can make the Gao family realize Gao Yu's danger as soon as possible, perhaps, the Gao family will not be angry with your Fu family because of her. - Especially, if my eldest sister Gao Qi is also willing to work with you to deal with Gao Yu, then even if the relationship between the Gao and Fu families becomes worse, it should not be completely reversed immediately......

"Don't forget, now in the Gao family, I have no threat to Gao Qi, but Gao Yu is already Gao Qi's biggest competitor to get the position of head of the family. - Sometimes, the biggest threat often comes from 'like-for-like' competition, rather than external threats. ”

"Well, Ran Er has a point. Now it seems that it is really difficult to say whether it was right or wrong to choose Gao Yu in the first place......"

"There's no such thing as a right or wrong, and you don't have to dwell too much on that. It's just that you have to be careful. Perhaps, when we see each other in three months, we will all have our own answers to this question. ”

"Hmm. Fu Wenxuan reached out meaningfully and gently shook Gao Ran's hand.

And this time, Gao Ran also responded to him, and she took the initiative to shake his hand back. After a long time, the two were separated again.

"Well, you shouldn't stay here for long. Before dawn, you should hurry up and take Amu back to Fu's mansion now. After a brief reminder, Gao Ran turned to "Seven" and said: "'Seven', you stay for the time being, I still have something to say to you alone......

"Good. Then I'll go first. Take care. We'll see you in March. After speaking, Fu Wenxuan turned to say goodbye to the "seven" beside him: "Brother Tai, take care, we will have a time in the future." ”

"Seven" just politely replied to Fu Wenxuan with a light smile, but uncharacteristically became like gold.

"Hmm. Gao Ran smiled lightly, and simply agreed, which could be regarded as seeing off Fu Wenxuan.

Such an appointment and goodbye between them made the "Seven" on the side look at it, and they only felt that what they met at the moment seemed to be just an ordinary outing between friends, rather than a fateful covenant that would determine whether they were friends or enemies in the end, whether they could advance and retreat together, or whether one of them would die before they could stop. ——Such feelings, even if they are just spectators, also touched "Seven".
