Chapter 141: "Do you have any old photos you can show me, Grandpa?" (1)
Gu Qinghua was mid-level in the troop back then and, because of his outstanding performance and multiple achievements, he shined like a star and, with his ability, his potential was limitless.
The higher-up did not like how fast Gu Qinghua was rising and, feeling that his future standing and power were threatened, came up with this plan to destroy Gu Qinghua.
He had not expected that Gu Qinghua would have collected the evidences and cleared his own name in such a short amount of time.

Truth was, Yang Wanni didnt die from illness either. She was murdered.
The higher-up knew that the truth about Yang Wanni and the child would be revealed soon enough so he orchestrated Yang Wannis death and moved on to the disillusion that Gu Qinghua murdered Yang Wanni because she had been pestering him and he couldnt clarify things with her and didnt want her to affect his future.
Unfortunately, that plan failed as well.
Failing to set Gu Qinghua up, the higher-up had no choice but to have Yang Wanni died from illness.
***
The aftermath from that lasted for quite a while and the higher-up also laid low for a while.
Nevertheless, he never gave up on the intention of ruining Gu Qinghua and ruining the Gu family, especially when he saw that neither Gu Qinghua nor the Gu family had been affected at all after the incidents. In fact, Gu Qinghua had been climbing higher and higher as was the Gu familys reputation.
She looked over in Gu Yaobais direction reflexively but quickly looked away as she didnt want to alarm him.
Gu Xi tried very hard to keep herself from wanting to leave the dining table and tell the story arc in the novel to Gu Shao and Old Mr. Gu but she couldnt tell them just yet. They would only think that she was crazy if she mentioned the novel and she might alarm the villains.
No, nothing, said Gu Xi in a low voice while biting down on the spoon.
Gu Shao gave Gu Xi a quiet look and, making sure that she was okay, unfurrowed his brows.
You dont have to finish the food if you cant finish them, said Gu Shao as he look at the pile of food in front of Gu Xi.
He worried that Gu Xi would have a hard time turning down Old Mr. Gu and the three boys kindness and stuffed herself.
Having said that, Gu Shao even gave the three boys a look.
Okay, Gu Xi nodded.
