Chapter 479: The Origin of Gao Shu (Part 2)
Tang Xiaomei stared at Gao Shu, suddenly realizing something: "You... could it be..."
"Wan Kai! This girl... was she born sixteen years ago?"
Wan Kai saw her reaction, and his heart sank further: Is she really the boss's child? Are you insane...
He replied in a low voice: "Yes, yes... Gao Shu is exactly sixteen..."
"She is the child of my boss Gao Long. The boss kept it a secret from all of us. It wasn't until the Vermilion Bird Gate incident happened that he was forced to tell me, and he asked me to take Gao Shu away."
The people of Tangren City were both shocked and delighted, recalling the turmoil of the Vermilion Bird Gate with mixed feelings.
Han Ziming looked at Tang Xiaomei: "Madam, do you know her?"
Tang Xiaomei looked at Gao Shu's eager expression and sighed: "I know this child. If she truly is the baby girl Gao Long brought home sixteen years ago, then she indeed counts as Gao Long's child."
Everyone was stunned, and Gao Xin was puzzled: "What do you mean by 'counts as'?"
Tang Xiaomei looked downwards: "This is not the place to talk. Tai Sui, please come to the Dragon Hall for a discussion."
Gao Xin nodded, entering the central Dragon Hall of Tangren City under the welcome of everyone. This was the place where the high-level personnel worked.
"Everyone, please leave. I want to talk to Tai Sui alone." Tang Xiaomei ushered everyone out.
Han Ziming was stunned, and the other Dragon Level members frowned. Gao Long's matters were indeed everyone's concern.
Back in their brotherhood days, Tang Xiaomei wasn't even around.
Now they too wanted to figure out the situation with Gao Shu, and yet Tang Xiaomei was asking them to leave?
"What do you mean? I must find out whether she is indeed the boss's daughter." Han Ziming said seriously.
Meanwhile, he kept his eyes fixed on Tang Xiaomei, vaguely realizing something.
Tang Xiaomei hesitated for a moment and said, "If you really want to listen, you can."
Wan Kai got anxious: "No, no, no, you all leave first, are you trying to drive the boss to his death?"
Master Lu and others spoke in a deep voice: "You already know the boss isn't dead? Did Bull King tell you? It seems you figured it out, Kai, but what can't we know?"
Wan Kai found it hard to speak.
But Tang Xiaomei sighed: "It's time to tell the truth. Since the child is still alive, it can't be hidden forever."
"Am I supposed to pretend to be unrelated to my own daughter, never recognize her, and let her live without a mother for her entire life?"
Hearing this, Gao Shu was overjoyed and rushed to hug Tang Xiaomei: "Mom! Are you really my mother? I finally have a mother!"
Everyone was shocked, staring blankly with bewildered expressions.
Han Ziming's face was dark, his nerves twitching.
Wan Kai was holding his face, somewhat collapsing, thinking it's all over.
Gao Xin, however, was quite calm: "You certainly see things clearly."
"I don't see clearly!" The Dragon Level members of Tangren City exclaimed excitedly.
"What the heck? Gao Long's child, and her mother is Lv Zhao's wife? Huh?" Master Lu directly lit his cigarette and took a deep drag.
The other Dragon Level members were also in a frenzy, as Gao Long's lofty and righteous image crumbled in their hearts.
Tang Xiaomei frowned: "Do you all think that I had an affair with Gao Long and gave birth to this child?"
"Isn't it so?" Wan Kai asked with a trembling voice full of pleasant surprise.
Tang Xiaomei gently touched Gao Shu's head: "Big brother Gao Long was a man of great honor, always placing you all and Tangren City at the highest position in his heart, without any doubt."
"He did not intentionally have an illicit relationship with me... That day, we were both harmed by Apostle Edvin."
"Apostle?" Wan Kai exclaimed in surprise and clapped his hands: "Wonderful!"
"Hmm?" Tang Xiaomei's face turned dark.
Wan Kai hastily put away his smile: "No, I mean the Apostle is so despicable."
Gao Xin tilted his head: "What's the situation? Did the Apostle forcibly bring you together, deliberately making you have his child to create discord between Gao Long and Lv Zhao?"
Tang Xiaomei sighed: "Sixteen years ago, Gao Long had already started planning the nuclear cleansing plan."
"And to ensure the activation wouldn't be interrupted or isolated by some technology, they chose to let the Apostle activate it."
"During that time, Gao Long spent every day with Apostle Edvin, and we all got used to it."
"But on the day before the Apostle was to leave, that guy injected something into me, seemingly mobilizing my estrogen, making me unable to suppress my desire..."
"Gao Long was also affected, but his strong will had him continuously suppressing it with a knife, and then he fought fiercely with Edvin."
"I lost consciousness afterward. All I knew was when I woke up, I was already pregnant."
Everyone was outraged, and Han Ziming spoke sinisterly: "Edvin, doing such a despicable thing?"
"I told you, the Apostle isn't trustworthy! Gao Long must cooperate with the Apostle, doing some cleansing plan, it's like asking a tiger for its skin!"
Gao Xin frowned and said: "What exactly was Edvin's purpose? Did Gao Long not tell you after you woke up?"
Tang Xiaomei sighed: "Based on what Gao Long told me afterward, Edvin's purpose should have been to grasp a handle over him."
"After all, Gao Long's relationship with Lv Zhao was as close as brothers. Once he had an affair with me, even if it was forced, he wouldn't be able to forgive himself."
"However, Gao Long told me he used an immune system to kill all his essence. I shouldn't have gotten pregnant."
"But since I was pregnant, the fact is there, what's done is done, so Gao Long accepted reality and recognized that as his daughter."
"But such a matter, of course, he dared not let anyone know, so it was kept secret, only known to me and him..."
"Gao Shu, I even went to see you when you were a child."
Tang Xiaomei caressed Gao Shu's face.
Everyone was deep in thought, pondering what kind of trick the Apostle had pulled.
Gao Long kept suppressing himself with a knife, but it was simple for the Apostle to repair him. Yet his immune system devoured all essentials, and still, a pregnancy occurred?
