Faced with Elder Gu's scrutiny, He Kao lowered his head and said, "Not really disappointed, just a bit surprised."
Gu Chun was relentless and continued to ask, "You can fool others but not yourself. Deep down, do you hold a sliver of hope—hope that person is Wan Zhongle?
If Zeng Hongye hadn't confessed the mastermind today, your analysis of Xiaowu would have been the only lead for the investigation in the Ancestral Hall. It's a very serious accusation, and you clearly have no proof."
He Kao: "It's not without proof."
Gu Chun: "People do things for reasons, but that doesn't mean there's evidence. You can suspect him, doubt first and then verify, but you can't hope it was his doing!
Whether it's to prove your cleverness or to vent your resentment, it's not right! You know what I'm talking about, you should distinguish clearly."
He Kao whispered, "You saw through it?"
Gu Chun: "You realized it yourself?"
