Silence speaks louder than words.

Was that a kiss?

A hint of surprise flashed across Gu Yunzhen's deep eyes.

Gu Chenye regained the upper hand, crossed his arms, and laughed freely: "Your brother is still your brother, don't show off in front of me, understand?"

Hearing his third brother's tone, Gu Yunzhen suddenly chuckled: "Hehe."

I thought he and Yan Yirou had made progress, but it turns out it was all for the sake of saving face.

"What are you laughing at?" Gu Chenye felt like he had been seen through and was a little annoyed.

Gu Yunzhen kindly reminded him, "Hurry up, beautiful and rich women all like young and handsome men."

Gu Chenye was stunned for a second: "Who told you this nonsense? You actually believed it?"

"Someone I met on the forum, quite interesting."

Gu Yunzhen added the man named 'Langyue Ruhuai' as a friend. Although she had never met him, she had his information.

Gu Yunzhen glanced at the time again, his brows furrowing slightly: "Alright, Third Brother, let's get down to business."

"The Yu family shouldn't have many security guards. Are you worried about her being a hypnotist?" Gu Chenye had never met a hypnotist, so he didn't know how powerful they were.

However, someone who can make his fourth son wary must have some ability.

Gu Yunzhen hummed in agreement.

"Fu Lin is the head of the Divine Envoy Organization. Her hypnosis skills should be at the master level. I only know of two people like her so far."

One was his wife, and the other was Ji Mingjing.

His wife was pregnant, and he couldn't let her take the risk.

Gu Yunzhen's fair and handsome face was framed by relaxed, sword-like eyebrows and a sharp glint in his deep black eyes. He made a decision and said, "Third Brother, I'll go to Xizhou City tomorrow."

Gu Chenye knew who he was looking for as soon as he heard "Xizhou City," and frowned: "Will Ji Mingjing agree to your request?"

"have no idea."

Gu Yunzhen spoke frankly, his expression unchanged as Gu Chenye looked on in astonishment: "But we should at least give it a try."

"Okay, go ahead, I'll take care of things at home. You can be back in four days, right?" Gu Chenye only has four days left before returning to his unit.

Gu Yunzhen hummed in agreement.

Regardless of whether he persuaded Ji Mingjing or not, he would return within four days.

"I'm going back to my room. You should go to sleep early too."

Gu Yunzhen got up and strode out of the study.

When I returned to the bedroom, a warm yellow light was on. The milk glass on the bedside table was empty, and Shangguan Wu was already asleep.

Gu Yunzhen went into the bathroom to take a shower, dried her hair, and then came out.

He had just lain down on the bed when he saw Shangguan Wu open her eyes. He reached out and touched her head: "Did I wake you up?"

In fact, Shangguan Wu was half asleep. She woke up when she heard the sound, but she was very sleepy and her eyelids kept drooping.

"Have you found a solution?" she asked.

Gu Yunzhen lay down, and after a while he pulled her into his arms: "Okay, I'll go talk to Ji Mingjing tomorrow."

Shangguan Wu suddenly became more sober, grabbed his hand and said, "The Ji family and Fu Lin have a very good relationship. It's too dangerous for you to go to Ji Mingjing. Don't go."

"The order is wrong," Gu Yunzhen corrected her.

"What?"

“Although Fu Lin has a good relationship with the Ji family, the person she supports is Ji Xianli, not Ji Mingjing. I have a 50% chance of persuading him.”

After Gu Yunzhen finished speaking, he kissed her forehead: "Close your eyes, you should go to sleep."

"But……"

"No buts, go to sleep!"

Under Gu Yunzhen's forceful 'suppression', Shangguan Wu had no choice but to close his eyes and go to sleep.

Gu Yunzhen thought she would make a fuss for a bit more, but she fell asleep in about ten seconds.

"..."

The next day, after having breakfast with Shangguan Wu, Gu Yunzhen went to the international airport alone.

Shangguan Wu then went to the traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy.

When she arrived at the Chinese medicine pharmacy, Yan Yirou also arrived; the two arrived almost simultaneously.

Yan Yirou looked at her in surprise and lowered her voice, "Wu Bao? What are you doing here? Is it okay for you to go out now?"

Shangguan Wu blinked and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, there are two bodyguards on the surface, but there are ten more in secret."

Wow!

Yan Yirou covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise, teasingly saying, "You're surrounded by more people than a top celebrity when they go out!"

Shangguan Wu ignored her teasing, touched her belly and said, "The plan has already begun, so you should also be careful. Ji Xianli is very persistent about you."

"Can we not mention him? He's too perverted!" Yan Yirou felt nauseous just hearing his name now.

Shangguan Wu laughed: "Hehe, you can go now. Third Brother is waiting for you outside."

"What?" Yan Yirou reacted with great excitement: "Your third brother is here?"

Shangguan Wu narrowed his eyes, his probing gaze sweeping over her: "It seems there's something going on between you and Third Brother. What happened between you two yesterday? Would you mind telling me?"

"Hehe, I mind very much!"

Yan Yirou rolled her eyes, stood up, and left.

She wasn't going out to see Gu Chenye; she just didn't want Shangguan Wu to pry into her background. That's right!

Yan Yirou went downstairs and saw Gu Chenye on the first floor.

However, instead of going up to greet them, she frowned as she looked at the sudden influx of customers.

Fortunately, nothing happened today.

On the other side, just as Gu Yunzhen arrived at Xizhou City International Airport, Ji Mingjing received the news.

Gu Yunzhen checked into a five-star hotel and called Ji Mingjing.

"Want to come out for a couple of drinks?"

"Go back now."

Clearly, Ji Mingjing had guessed his purpose in coming to Xizhou City and refused to help.

Gu Yunzhen's eyebrows twitched slightly.

"Old classmate, you're not too scared to even meet up with me, are you?"

The phrase "old classmate" instantly stirred up vivid memories of Ji Mingjing's time studying abroad.
