Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 561 She, the one she loves most, is herself.

After half an hour.

Completely exhausted and lying face down on the ground, Master Tu was no longer of any use.

"Not bad. I'm sure even if you don't get executed, the country will support you until you die. Just wait and see!"

Chu Xin glanced at the few pages of paper that the young soldier beside her had written furiously, then stood up with satisfaction and walked out.

She doesn't need to worry about what happens next; someone else will handle it.

No sooner had she left than the young soldier, who had just put down his pen, packed up all his things, glanced at the people on the ground, scratched his head, and also went out.

Two more people soon entered. Seeing that the prisoner had clearly suffered greatly, the two exchanged a glance. Had they violated discipline by using torture?

Upon closer inspection, apart from the injuries sustained when he was captured, there was nothing wrong with the prisoner's body. So, what exactly happened to him?

Unable to understand, the two stopped paying attention and dragged Master Tu out. This man's crime was serious, and he had to be escorted back to the capital as soon as possible. There was no way to treat his injuries any further.

This was to prevent other accomplices from finding out and coming to intercept them.

After Chu Xin went out, she didn't rush to find Zhou Yichen, because he wasn't in the courtyard at that time. Instead, he went to find Gao Ziyou to fulfill his promise.

She glanced at the person who came out of the room where Yu Jing was being held and asked, "Still not awake?"

The man shook his head, showed her the steamed bun in his hand, and said, "He doesn't talk or pay attention to anyone, and he doesn't know how to eat or drink. He'll starve to death in a few days."

I don't know if he's genuinely stupid or just pretending, but he definitely looks convincing.

"Would she still be of any use if we brought her back to Kyoto in this state?"

A cryptic glint flashed in Chu Xin's eyes as she glanced at the tightly closed room and raised her voice, "Who knows? Whether it's useful or not depends on who has it. It's useless to us, but it might be useful to someone else."

What a joke! She knew exactly what she was capable of doing.

Yu Jing rose to power through deception, and even dared to think she could use it to escape her predicament; she was incredibly naive.

After she finished speaking, she continued walking out, but she didn't expect to see someone as soon as she reached the door. She couldn't help but blink. How did Gao Ziyang find her?

"Where's my mother?"

The blunt tone made Chu Xin raise an eyebrow slightly; someone had given him directions.

She then walked over, her slender figure exuding an aura that seemed to reach 1.8 meters, forcing Gao Ziyang to retreat.

Only after retreating to the road did Chu Xin stop moving. "If you don't want trouble, get lost!"

She hadn't forgotten that Gao Ziyang was no better.

"I'm not leaving! My mother is locked up inside, isn't she? Let her out right now! What right do you have to interfere in the affairs of the Gao family? You're meddling way too much!"

"Oh... I see, you're in cahoots with Gao Ziyou, aren't you? All that talk about grudges is a complete lie. Gao Ziyou and Zhou Yichen have been working together to frame my son and me, haven't they?!"

"Hehe, everyone says that Zhou Yichen is different from Gao Ziyou, that he has all the principles and virtues of a soldier, but now it seems that's not necessarily true!"

Chu Xin was amused by him; aside from his shady methods, he wasn't exactly smart either.

Of course, there is another possibility: the old man from the Gao family only talked about their family's dirty laundry and did not reveal anything that concerned national interests.

Well, the old comrade's patriotism is evident, but he's just not good at educating his children, which is quite a headache.

"You speak so confidently, it seems you know you're from the Gao family. So, what happened to your underling?"

"Oh dear, did you get kicked out of the Gao family too? Is that why you're so eager to find your biological mother?"

The other party's words were barbed and sarcastic, so Chu Xin naturally wouldn't hold back. Zhou Yichen was her boyfriend, so she could hit him and scold him as she pleased, but everyone else could just get lost!

Gao Ziyang was surprised that Chu Xin also knew about the Gao family's private affairs, but upon further reflection, it wasn't surprising. If the Central Special Branch wanted to investigate someone, how could they possibly have anything to hide?

He stared with dead fish eyes, cursing everyone involved in the matter in his mind, especially the culprit Gao Ziyou and Chu Xin who now disregarded him. He felt he deserved to curse their ancestors for eighteen generations.

Chu Xin disregarded his mindset of trying to kill with his eyes. Old Man Gao was probably holding back some things he wanted to say in order to keep one more descendant of the Gao family. Otherwise, this guy wouldn't be here. It was unlikely that Chu Xin would let him have his way.

Taking a reassuring step back to ease Gao Ziyang's sense of pressure, Chu Xin looked at him with sympathetic eyes and told him a painful truth.

"Your mother is definitely not going to be handed over if you come looking for her, but if it's your grandfather, then it's a different story. After all, we've been able to solve the case so smoothly thanks to his support, haven't we? Even if we have difficulties returning the person, we'll create the conditions to make him wish to do something as noble as the old man is willing to sacrifice his own family for the greater good."

Gao Ziyang suddenly clenched his fists. "My grandfather already knew?"

But they kept it a secret from everyone and watched helplessly as things developed to this point.

"Of course!"

Chu Xin readily nodded, "Ning City is your Gao family's territory. What can you possibly hide from us?"

"However, your mother's crimes weren't just limited to adultery and having children out of wedlock. Add to that what she did to Gao Ziyou, and that's enough for the Gao family to kill her."

But all of that pales in comparison to the charge of colluding with spies. You should thank Yu Jing for still having some love for her son and not dragging you into this, and you should also thank Old Master Gao for not being heartless enough to abandon you. Otherwise, do you think you'd still be standing here spouting nonsense?

Gao Ziyang was completely overwhelmed by her barrage of questions. Now he finally understood why his grandfather had told him about this place. It wasn't to bring his mother out as he had thought; it was to make him give up completely.

It was the cruelest reality that told him he could only choose between being Yu Jing's son or a descendant of the Gao family.

As for why he was made to humiliate himself, it was simply to make him face reality and obediently go to the rural area that had been arranged for him.

They, mother and son, were utterly defeated by Gao Ziyou!

No, Yu Jing lost!

"Hahaha……"

Gao Ziyang suddenly burst out laughing at this thought. His mother had schemed and plotted, keeping him completely in the dark. She actively fought for her so-called younger brother's reputation, family fortune, and everything in the Gao family, but she never thought about cultivating him. Her selfishness was truly heartbreaking.

"Hahaha... She doesn't love my father, so of course she doesn't like me either. Everything she schemed in the Gao family was just for that bastard! Hahaha... The entire Gao family is indeed heartless..."

Thinking about everything that has happened from the past to the present, Gao Ziyang hates everyone in the Gao family to the core, almost to the point of madness.

Chu Xin watched silently without saying a word. In fact, from her observation, Yu Jing didn't love that fake Yu Yin either, otherwise she wouldn't have let Master Tu take the risk to get close to him even though she knew he was in danger.

She loves herself the most.

Get rid of Gao Ziyou, then marginalize Gao Ziyang so he can't take over the Gao family affairs, and then fight for everything for him in the name of the youngest son, isn't it all for the sake of making himself the sole ruler in the future?

This woman has a truly wild heart; it's a pity she was born in the wrong era, otherwise she would have been absolutely extraordinary.
