Gu Huaicheng and Feng Ximan understood that Blair was implying that they should cooperate obediently and provide all available information until Blair achieved his goal.

Gu Huaicheng had no time to think about why Blair insisted on befriending Gu Zhiyun. He was more concerned about his son. Besides, he had only given the Gu family's address and received a large sum of money. He was happy to do such an easy deal.

"I also think that guesthouse is quite nice."

He said to von Schermann, "Let's stay there for a while, and we can show Blair around."

Feng Ximan nodded. Throughout the process, she hardly spoke. When Gu Huaicheng put the money in his pocket, she looked at Blair thoughtfully.

After finishing his steak and coffee, Blair said goodbye early, and even paid the bill, showing great generosity.

That day, Gu Zhiyun and Shen Jingyan took some time to visit Old Man Xu and asked him if he had found out anything about Blair.

Old Xu said he had already asked a friend at the embassy to investigate, but information in China is relatively limited, making it even more difficult to investigate a foreigner.

Fortunately, the staff at this embassy have extensive connections in the United States, so given time, they should be able to find some clues.

The two had dinner at Xu's house and then rode their bicycles home.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the Imperial Capital Compound, I saw the gatekeeper, Uncle Qian, arguing with a man.

The man was speaking gibberish in a language that Grandpa Qian couldn't understand a word of, and he kept yelling at him to get out.

As the two approached, the man looked at Gu Zhiyun as if he had seen a savior and called out, "Gu! It's me!"

It was Blair! Both Shen Jingyan and Gu Zhiyun were quite surprised.

At the same time, a bad premonition settled over them.

A few days ago, when I ran into Blair at Fengtai Mountain, he showed great interest in Gu Zhiyun.

It's only been a few days, and he's already showing up at the gate of the Imperial Capital compound. What a coincidence!

Shen Jingyan didn't believe that Blair, someone who was visiting the capital for the first time, could accurately locate the Gu family's residence.

Unless, someone leaked it to him.

The first person that came to Shen Jingyan's mind was Gu Huaicheng.

Grandpa Qian kept urging Blair toward the door.

"You foreigner, you don't seem like a good person! Tell me, are you a spy sent by the United States?"

Blair hurriedly laughed and said, "Sir, don't misunderstand, I'm a friend of Gu's, I'm not a spy."

Grandpa Qian didn't believe a word of it: "Don't think I'm easy to fool just because I'm a bit old! Let me tell you, I was on the battlefield when I was young, and I fought against American soldiers! I know what you spies look like!"

Although Grandpa Qian is not highly educated, he is a retired soldier. Shen Jingyan felt that he had a kind of simple wisdom, which was not learned from books, but summarized from life and battles.

It's often said that veterans have sharp eyes, and that's absolutely true.

Blair quickly grabbed Gu Zhiyun's arm: "Gu, explain to this gentleman, I'm really not a spy, I'm a tourist, a tourist!"

Gu Zhiyun subtly took two steps back, avoiding Blair.

"We don't seem to know each other very well."

Shen Jingyan asked, "Mr. Blair, how did you find this place?"

Blair smiled slyly: "Gu is a very famous person. I heard that even the elementary school students here know about Gu's heroic deeds. You can easily find out by asking around."

Silently, Chen Jingyan curled the corners of his lips into a disdainful smile.

Isn't this blatant lying?

After Gu Zhiyun became famous, he became more low-key, and those around him tacitly abided by the rule that they could not easily reveal Gu Zhiyun's address.

Even when Gu Zhiyun sent articles to newspapers and magazines, he used fake addresses.

It's impossible to find out by asking around.

If it were that easy to know, the entrances to the mansions in the capital would become massive fan sites for elementary and middle school students.

Because many famous people live in the compound in the capital, Mr. Qian's security work is particularly meticulous.

If a stranger wants to enter the Imperial Capital Compound, unless they are accompanied by an acquaintance, they must first register, state who they are looking for, and the compound's security personnel will then contact the owner and obtain permission before they can enter.

Shen Jingyan didn't expose Blair's lie, but instead asked, "May I ask what brings you here to see Brother Yun?"

Blair used the same old rhetoric.

"I'd like to make friends with Gu. Isn't there an old saying in your country, 'Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar?'"

Gu Zhiyun firmly refused, saying, "I'm a researcher, and you're a travel enthusiast. We have different professions and interests, so we don't have anything in common."

Blair confidently stated, "I have a wide range of interests. How do you know we don't have anything in common if you don't befriend me?"

Shen Jingyan stepped between Gu Zhiyun and Blair, gesturing for them to proceed:

“Mr. Blair, the capital is very big and there are many interesting places. I suggest you spend more time exploring and don’t waste your energy on Yun Ge.”
