Gu Zhiyun's voice was already pleasant to listen to, but after being filtered through the microphone, it gained an extra layer of magnetic sexiness.

Hearing that familiar voice, it was as if Gu Zhiyun's lips were right next to her ear, whispering softly to her, making her ears burn.

"Brother Yun? You haven't been waiting by the phone for over an hour, have you?"

Otherwise, why would Gu Zhiyun answer the phone as soon as she called?

Gu Zhiyun's gentle voice flowed slowly in her ear: "What's an hour? I'm willing to wait a day, a month, or a year."

Her gentle voice, enhanced by its magnetic quality, became even more alluring, causing Shen Jingyan's face and neck to flush red.

If Gu Zhiyun were here, she really wanted to disregard her image, grab him, and give him a good kiss.

How did you know I was at this guesthouse?

Gu Zhiyun smiled and said, "Don't I know you? You have so much money, you certainly won't make yourself suffer. If you're going to stay, you'll stay in the best guesthouse in the county. I have a phone book, and I can find the phone numbers of important places all over the country. Finding the Wanshan County Guesthouse is a piece of cake for me."

Chen Jingyan was full of admiration. Gu Zhiyun's intelligence was not something that could be praised; his wisdom was reflected in all aspects of his life and studies.

Gu Zhiyun lowered his voice, making it even lower and more seductive: "Little thing, I told you long ago, once I've marked you, you can't escape. No matter where you run to, I'll find you."

These words, though domineering, were tinged with affection, making Shen Jingyan's heart flutter.

She couldn't help but recall Gu Zhiyun's kiss, so passionate and tender.

Every time he kissed her, she dared not look into his deep, captivating eyes, afraid that she would fall even deeper into his trap.

"Jingya, have you missed me?"

Shen Jingyan whispered, "We've only been apart for a few hours..."

Gu Zhiyun said unhappily, "But I miss you. Every minute I can't see you feels like an eternity."

His words were like a spark igniting a fire in Shen Jingyan's heart, the small flame licking at her chest, making her feel both itchy and shy.

"Do you miss me or not?"

It seems that if Gu Gou Gou doesn't get the answer he wants, he'll keep asking.

Shen Jingyan blushed and glanced at the receptionist, stammering and refusing to answer.

The young woman had been a receptionist for several years and was very good at reading people. She smiled at Chen Jingyan, gave her a knowing look, and went to get hot water from her teacup.

Shen Jingyan quickly covered the phone receiver and answered in an extremely soft voice, "I have."

Gu Zhiyun had to press the microphone firmly against his ear to hear the little girl's voice.

"Why are you speaking so quietly? Do you want me to do something shameful?"

Chen Jingyan said with a hint of reproach, "Oh dear, if you don't have anything important to say, I'll hang up. I still need to help my older sister prepare the materials for her lawsuit!"

Gu Zhiyun was taken aback and asked, "So you're going to file a lawsuit? Didn't the Women's Federation resolve the issue?"

Shen Jingyan sighed slightly and told Gu Zhiyun about what had happened that day.

Gu Zhiyun took it very seriously after hearing this.

His daughter's troubles are his troubles. If he doesn't help solve them, who will?

"Jingya, put the lawsuit on hold for now. Although going through legal procedures can bring justice, the process is very long. Can you guarantee that the compensation will still be there by the time the court's judgment is issued?"

Gu Zhiyun's reminder was like a revelation to Chen Jingyan.

A lawsuit is not something that can be done in a day or two; the process can take months or even years. No one can guarantee that Ding Pozi and her daughter will not transfer the compensation money or simply squander it during the lawsuit.

If that's the case, even if they win the case, there's not much they can do to get their money back.

If a mangy dog ​​can bark and bite in front of the Women's Federation, it's hard to guarantee it won't act shamelessly in front of a judge.

Thinking about it this way, Shen Jingyan felt a little heavier.

Before the Lunar New Year, Chen Feng accepted 500 yuan as a bride price from Granny Zhao, intending to sell her to Granny Zhao's mentally challenged son. Later, because of Chen Feng's courageous resistance, Chen Feng dared not make things difficult for her anymore. Granny Zhao brought people to collect the debt, and over 100 yuan, they almost brought down Shen Honggang, a burly man standing 1.8 meters tall.

In the end, it was only after Shen Jingyan took the money that Zhao Pozi was sent away.

Chen Feng did such a disgusting thing and still got a hundred yuan for nothing. That's what makes unreasonable people so infuriating.

Perhaps, right now, Granny Ding and her daughter are feasting on the compensation money that should rightfully belong to Shen Yulan!

Things could get complicated if we wait too long, and we couldn't delay getting the money back. But what legal way was there to get Granny Ding to hand over the compensation money?

Gu Zhiyun seemed to have guessed Shen Jingyan's thoughts, and he asked, "Jingya, do you know what these bad people are most afraid of?"

Shen Jingyan knew that bad people were least afraid of reasonable people, but she couldn't answer for the time being what bad people were most afraid of.

Gu Zhiyun answered for her: "What I fear most is being threatened by someone using something against me."

Shen Jingyan suddenly realized, and most of the gloom in her heart dissipated. She said happily, "Brother Yun, you are really a brilliant strategist!"

Gu Zhiyun: "..."
