After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1338 - 1337: Main Story Grand Finale 10

An alliance with Xia Pan? Xia Chuyi had a sudden realization.

Could it be that Guo Jiumin’s request to meet was to propose an alliance with her?

This thought clarified many things.

Xia Chuyi suspected that Guo Jiumin had somehow learned about her abilities as a "Prophet."

Consequently, Guo Jiumin had orchestrated a series of events.

His ultimate aim was to leverage Xia Chuyi’s "Prophet" abilities for his own agenda.

This explained why Guo Jiumin’s demeanor towards Xia Pan shifted dramatically the moment he received Xia Chuyi’s confirmation.

It also accounted for the strange feeling he had towards Xia Chuyi upon their first encounter.

The subsequent events, which seemed designed to harm Xia Chuyi, were likely merely attempts to damage her reputation.

The underlying reason for Guo Jiumin’s actions, Xia Chuyi presumed, was to gain leverage over her and force her cooperation.

But the critical question remained: how exactly did Guo Jiumin discover Xia Chuyi’s "Prophet" abilities?

Since her rebirth, the only other "Prophet" Xia Chuyi had encountered was Xia Lan.

Wait, Xia Lan?

Wasn’t Xia Lan currently in G City? Even if she was under some restrictions, could Xia Lan have somehow leaked Xia Chuyi’s secret?

After all, Guo Jiumin was a member of the Guo family!

A flicker of urgency crossed Xia Chuyi’s eyes.

However, certain details did not quite align.

Through their past interactions, Xia Chuyi was certain that Xia Lan possessed more knowledge of the future than she did—for instance, Xia Lan knew about the Ou Family connection.

Given this, if Guo Jiumin had indeed obtained the information from Xia Lan, why would he choose to ally with Xia Chuyi instead of continuing to work with Xia Lan?

This situation was fraught with unanswered questions, and with the current information, Xia Chuyi could only speculate this far.

The specific answers would have to wait until she managed to escape and journey to G City to confront the Guo family.

Just then, Xia Chuyi heard a distinct crunching sound—Xia Pan was noisily eating seeds.

Both Xia Chuyi and Guo Jiumin turned their attention to Xia Pan.

"Sister, would you like some seeds?" Xia Pan offered to Xia Chuyi. "I originally bought these for Mingming."

Xia Chuyi paused for a moment upon hearing Xia Pan’s words.

Observing the scene, Guo Jiumin let out a laugh. "You two are truly ‘interesting’!"

The term "interesting" used by Guo Jiumin carried a significant subtext.

"This young lady is indeed a ‘remarkable talent,’ displaying such composure! Haha!" Guo Jiumin’s satisfaction grew.

It was quite amusing, he thought. Even in a situation resembling a hostage scenario, with strangers present, this child could calmly munch on seeds!

Guo Jiumin reasoned that if Xia Pan was ‘held hostage’ yet could still eat seeds, she must either possess an extraordinary temperament or remarkable composure.

Naturally, Guo Jiumin leaned towards the latter, believing Xia Pan to be extraordinarily "calm."

After all, in Guo Jiumin’s view, Xia Pan had been acknowledged by Xia Chuyi as a "Future Celebrity."

Why else would Xia Chuyi, for no apparent reason, adopt this young girl as a sister?

Within Guo Jiumin’s speculative mind, he concluded that Xia Chuyi had ulterior motives for recognizing Xia Pan as her sister.

This motive, he surmised, was rooted in the belief that Xia Pan would undoubtedly achieve fame in certain circles in the future.

Guo Jiumin held this conviction firmly.

Meanwhile, Xia Chuyi felt a prickle of surprise.

She sensed that Panpan’s behavior was… somewhat peculiar?
