Chapter 887: Transfer Five Million Yuan to Help You Solve the Mystery of Your Past

Editor: Henyee Translations

It had been a while since Gu Pei had received such a flood of private messages. When he finally opened them, his anger flared. “What are these people even talking about?!”

Gu Yang, puzzled, asked, “What’s going on?”

“They’re all criticizing Dad and our family. Some netizens are using really foul language. Sister, you should stay away from this. I don’t want you to be exposed to such filth,” Gu Pei fumed.

Gu Yang’s ‘Yangyang’ account was occasionally active with live broadcasts and video posts, but she hadn’t logged in for over a month. Given her lack of recent engagement with social media news, she was curious when Gu Pei was so upset. However, when she checked her account, the messages were surprisingly positive.

Gu Yang was taken aback. “I don’t have any of that.”

Gu Pei, stunned, leaned over to check for himself. Scratching his head in confusion, he said, “That’s strange. Sister, you’re more popular than I am and have more fans. The keyboard warriors should have targeted you too.”

Gu Yang turned to Feng Jue. “Ah Jue?”

Feng Jue smiled and explained, “Pei’s right; those comments are pretty nasty, so I took the liberty of blocking them for you.”

Fortunately, since the Grape app was managed by the Dream Seeking Group, he was able to handle this before Gu Jin got involved.

Gu Pei, “…”

So, was he not worthy of such treatment?

Gu Pei checked his private messages again. He intended to delete them all, but when he clicked through them, he noticed that both the private messages and the comments section of his video seemed to have been cleaned up.

Staring at Feng Jue in disbelief, he asked, “Is this the power of a hacker?”

Feng Jue replied with a smile, “This is the power of your brother-in-law.”

If Gu Pei weren’t his sister’s half-brother, Feng Jue wouldn’t have bothered helping him.

Gu Zhaoming, observing the exchange with narrowed eyes, suddenly remembered the mysterious hacker who had exposed the Xue family in Jin City.

Feng Jue addressed Gu Zhaoming, “Dad, about the public opinion online…”

“Don’t worry about it for now.”

Gu Zhaoming’s entertainment company was skilled at manipulating public opinion for its benefit.

“Understood.”

Feng Jue suspected that Gu Zhaoming allowed the public opinion to fester intentionally to stir up trouble, so he avoided using hacking methods to suppress the controversy.

Since returning to the Gu family in the capital, Gu Zhaoming had never brought up the true nature of that incident.

However, he was aware that his second and third brothers would likely seize on this “taint” and wait for the right moment to use it against him.

Thus, since his return to the capital, he had been devising plans to clear their family’s name.

Gu Yang felt relieved knowing that Gu Zhaoming had a strategy in place.

But she was taken aback the next day when she received a WeChat message from Su Ziyun.

The message read: [Gu Yang, do you want to learn about your background? Transfer five million yuan to my card, and I’ll help you uncover the truth.]

Gu Yang was confused. Although Su Ziyun had added her on WeChat, they had only communicated about class matters before. Receiving a sudden request for money was unexpected. She replied, [Has your account been hacked? Is this some new type of scam?]

Su Ziyun: […]

Su Ziyun: [It’s really me.]

To prove her identity and gain Gu Yang’s trust, Su Ziyun initiated a video call.

Only then did Gu Yang believe it wasn’t a scam.

However, she still declined: [It’s too expensive. I’m not interested.]

Her money didn’t come from thin air. Why would she spend five million yuan on information of unknown value?

Su Ziyun panicked and responded quickly: [Four million is fine too! Gu Yang, I really know who your biological parents are!]

[Given the Gu family’s tarnished reputation and your status as an internet celebrity, if you remain in the Gu family, you’ll definitely face online abuse.]

[When you return to your biological family, you’ll definitely thank me! A few million yuan should be a small price for you, right?]
