So that was it. Li Wei suddenly understood.
But...
As the Jiang Family's legitimate heir, she actually had to rely on Old Gu, an outsider, to clear up her doubts...
Luckily, she had exposed herself long ago.
Otherwise, with Old Gu's brain, this one question alone would have turned every bit of her disguise into a joke.
While Li Wei was still lost in thought, Gu Jinzhi, who had recovered from the fresh breath of air, took hold of the girl's wrist again.
"A Xue, let's talk business."
His expression became solemn once more.
"Retire from the military. Apply right now."
"I'll shoulder my own responsibilities..."
Li Wei's face darkened.
How did we circle back to this again?
She exerted a little force with her slender arm, clamping Gu Jinzhi's neck in a death grip and pressing his head into the hollow of her shoulder.
The motion looked as if she were putting one of her good brothers in a chokehold...
"Uh..."
Gu Jinzhi was physically muted in an instant.
And Li Wei...
She was turning over the workings of her super brain.
Originally, she had planned to discuss her discoveries with Gu Jinzhi—the anomalies concerning mythology.
But when the words reached her lips, she hesitated.
One thought refused to leave her mind.
If Old Gu had heard her confession that day, things like "living two lifetimes"...
Her underwear would have been seen through, she would have felt socially dead, thrown a tantrum, and been too embarrassed to face anyone.
But she could also have spoken many things openly and honestly.
For example, she could have laid her cards on the table and said that she was a transmigrator.
Then she could have compared the completely different mythological systems of her two lifetimes, explaining everything to him clearly and thoroughly.
