Lin Chan glared fiercely at the group of troublemaking friends and directly chased them away.
It could be said that everyone was watching the Gu Family's reaction. However, the people of the Gu Family were either in government institutions or secluded within the courtyard where no one could enter.
Those waiting for the Gu Family's response weren't just the ones lurking in the shadows; even Xing Ye, Lin Chan, and their group were waiting. Since He Zhilan wasn't present, they couldn't represent her in making any decisions. Besides, those in the know understood that He Zhilan wouldn't emerge under these circumstances—who could guarantee that she wouldn't be killed the moment she showed herself?
Therefore, what Xing Ye and the others needed to do was to wait for the Gu Family's reaction, then take corresponding measures to protect He Zhilan to the best of their ability.
