Chapter 376 They Want Gu Nan
Gu Nan keenly noticed that Junyi's reaction was not right, "Are you hiding something from me?"
Before Chunyi could say anything, Qi Yan interrupted, "How dare he hide something from you, sister? He's just stupid. Sister, ignore him and just pay attention to me."
As he said that, he fed another mouthful of porridge to Gu Nan's mouth.
Gu Nan turned his head away.
Qi Yan and Chunyi don't get along at all, so he won't make excuses for Chunyi at all. They must be hiding something from her.
Gu Nan stared at Chunyi with burning eyes: "Sister, are you going to vent your anger on me?"
Junyi raised his dark eyes and nodded.
Gu Nan: "Lie!"
Chunyi kept lying, and Qi Yan, contrary to his usual behavior, tried to excuse Chunyi. Something must have happened. He couldn't help but ask anxiously, "What happened to my sister?"
Qi Yan was about to speak again, but Gu Nan stopped him, "Don't say anything. Let Chunyi speak."
Junyi paused for a moment and said, "She's fine."
Gu Nan didn't believe it.
Junyi was silent.
Qi Yan was also silent.
Even Cui Shao stood aside without saying a word.
Gu Nan lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, "If you don't tell me, I'll go find her myself."
Qi Yan quickly put down the bowl and tried to stop her, "It's really okay, Sister Jiang is so powerful, who can hurt her?"
Gu Nan didn't stop when he heard that, and rushed to the door with his hands hanging down, "If she's fine, then Jingchun Jingzhe must be in trouble."
"They're fine too!" Qi Yan grabbed Gu Nan's right hand and said, "Sister, just trust me for once. Everyone is fine."
Gu Nan stopped and looked back at Qi Yan, "Then why did you lie to me?"
Qi Yan hesitated for a moment, then finally confessed, "Sister Jiang wanted to avenge my sister and got hurt. I didn't come over because I was afraid you'd worry. I didn't know you'd worry so much. You asked about me as soon as I opened my eyes, and you never even looked me in the eye."
At the end, there was a bit of complaint and grievance. Gu Nan kept asking others when he woke up. He looked at Chunyi and Cui Shao every time he drank a few mouthfuls of porridge. He was jealous and mentally unbalanced.
Gu Nan was skeptical about Qi Yan's words. He turned to look at Chunyi and Cui Shao. One had a stern face and the other was a shrewd person. He couldn't tell what was going on with either of them.
She suppressed her doubts for the moment and asked Junyi, "Is she seriously injured?"
Junyi: "It has no impact on life and death."
Gu Nan still felt something was wrong, but he couldn't find any answers, so he just gave up.
After drinking the porridge, Gu Nan put on his clothes and went to the sunroom to bask in the sun.
The winter sun was luxurious and warm, and Gu Nan was drowsy sitting in the rocking chair.
Junyi and the other two sat around her, watching her fall into sleep little by little. Their faces all looked grim, making the bright sunlight in the sunroom seem a bit cold and solemn.
Chunyi bent down, picked up Gu Nan and carried him back to the bedroom. Then he went downstairs. Qi Yan and Cui Shao were sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking at each other in silence.
"I'll go to the Audit Department again tonight." Junyi said.
Qi Yan raised his eyes slightly, his pupils mostly hidden beneath his eyelids, leaving only a hint of inky black and a creepy white. He said coldly, "I'll go with you."
Shedding the childish disguise of acting coquettishly and playing tricks, Qi Yan was now like a sharp blade flashing with cold light, filled with fierce murderous intent.
Cui Shao rested one hand on the armrest of the sofa, his fingertips resting on his forehead, his brows slightly furrowed. "There's no other way for you to break into the Inspection Department again. Let me talk to her first."
Qi Yan glanced at him coldly, ruthlessly piercing his fantasy, "They don't want money at all."
What they want is Gu Nan.
What is needed is a precious experimental subject.
The Director of the Audit Department is just an agent who is pushed forward in public, and there is no way to know who is planning behind the scenes.
Cui Shao retorted angrily, "What should we do then? Jiang Wanying failed, so they'll definitely intensify their investigation. Besides, the medicine might not even be in the Inspection Department, so your visit would be in vain."
Before this, no one would have thought that the frequent appearance of special forces in Lifang City was not an accident, but man-made.
What is even more unexpected is that in order to capture Gu Nan, they could kill an entire community of more than a thousand people to feed a high-level special species.
Even though Cui Shao had seen the ups and downs of life and human nature, he was still shocked by their greed and cruelty.
After a long silence, Qi Yan, holding a glimmer of innocent hope, asked softly, "Grandma, is there any way?"
Cui Shao twitched his lips, a sneer that ran counter to a gentleman's refinement appeared on his elegant and handsome face, filled with mockery and disgust. "There are many more old men who don't want to die than you think."
Qi Yan lowered his eyes, as if he had completely given up hope, and his voice became quiet. "Then there's nothing we can do. We'll have to go through the frying pan and hell."
He stood up and said, "Where are your guns? Lend me a few."
Cui Shao stood up and went upstairs. Qi Yan followed him for two steps, then turned around and asked Chunyi, "Do you want me to teach you?"
Junyi thought for a moment and followed.
*
Gu Nan woke up from his dream.
The robot dutifully reported the temperature data, its rigid, mechanical tone somewhat cold.
She pressed her swollen temples. She didn't know if it was because she had slept too long, but her body didn't feel relaxed, but rather tired.
"You're awake." The door opened and Cui Shao walked in, followed by Lin Jingchun and Lin Jingzhe.
Gu Nan leaned against the bedside with one hand supporting his body. The robot just announced the time, and it was already the middle of the night. "It's so late, why are you still not asleep?"
"I was afraid you were worried, so I brought them here for you to take a look." Cui Shao said with a smile.
Lin Jingchun and Lin Jingzhe walked to the bedside one after the other and squatted down. Two similar faces showed two similar smiles, "Don't worry, sister, we are fine."
Gu Nan smiled and said, "I'm glad you're okay."
Cui Shao handed the porridge brought by the robot to Lin Jingchun and asked Lin Jingchun to feed it to Gu Nan.
Gu Nan didn't have much of an appetite, so he barely ate half a bowl and then stopped.
"Where are Chunyi and Qi Yan?" she asked Cui Shao.
"Why do you have to question everyone as soon as you wake up? Even those who check the household registration are not as serious as you." Cui Shao put the bowl back, picked up the medicine and put it on the bedside, joking with a smile.
"How can they catch mice for me when they're not asleep this late?" He said in a veiled way, "I don't have any mice at home for them to use their special skills."
Gu Nan laughed, feeling that he was indeed a little paranoid.
She would ask whoever was not around about them where they were going, as if they were all children and something would happen if they were out of her sight.
"Has the Inspection Department given any explanation regarding the special incident that occurred in the community?" she asked again.
"We're still investigating." Cui Shao responded easily, his tone casual and casual, yet convincing. "This is the first time we've encountered a high-level parasitic species in the city center. Give them some time."
Gu Nan thought so too. It had only been a day since the incident happened, and so many people had died. Just the preliminary investigation alone would be a huge project.
"If you have any news, please let me know."
"Don't worry, I know you're worried about Aunt Gu. I'll tell you as soon as I have any news."
Gu Nan's eyes froze slightly, his heart sinking, "You are also hiding something from me."
