Chapter 613: He gave too much!
Gu Yin never expected that Chu Yan and she would have the same idea!
Seeing Chu Yan's smiling eyes, Gu Yin immediately decided, "Then let's increase the money! Upgrade the mission!"
Bai Xiao: "..."
Chu Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Just keep the money Grandpa Zhou gave you. My dad and grandpa added money themselves after they found out about this. Mr. Bai said that because the amount is huge, the mission has automatically been upgraded to the highest level, S-rank! We just need to wait for the news!"
The Gu family members standing nearby were both satisfied and helpless. They were satisfied that the Chu family valued Gu Yin, but helpless about the two children's extravagant spending! They had no choice but to turn a blind eye and board the plane early!
After Gu Yin found out, she learned that even without paying extra, the mission had already reached the top level and had been accepted by someone else. She didn't know who accepted the mission, but Bai Xiao said that the other party might be hiding to avoid being intercepted. The other party's code name would be updated when the mission was handed in.
Seeing this, Gu Yin was finally relieved. Let them spend all their time hunting others down; it's time for them to experience what it's like to be hunted down themselves.
Seeing that they had finished talking, Old Xie said helplessly, "Alright, alright, it's time to get going. The people upstairs are waiting. The sooner we get there, the sooner we can go back. I see you're all tired."
Gu Yin thanked Bai Xiao again upon hearing this, and then asked, "Are you coming back with us or going back to Hong Kong City by yourself?"
Bai Xiao coughed lightly: "You guys go first, I'll leave later!"
Gu Yin: "...You wouldn't be thinking of going to the mountains to scavenge for bargains!??"
Bai Xiao: "...That's tens of billions! That's all money! What makes those people so worthy of that much?! I won't be able to sleep if I don't go! Don't worry, although my strength is in computers, I'm not bad in other areas either. I'll find Lan Yan first, and then we can cooperate, and the money will be ours! You guys go back quickly! I have a way to protect myself, don't worry! I'm leaving now!"
Without waiting for Gu Yin to say anything, he grabbed the things and ran away!
Gu Yin: "...!!"
"Hey! Captain Zhang, right? After finding Blue Flame, we did our best to catch those criminals! We brought them back secretly!"
Old Xie's voice came from behind, and Gu Yin turned around to see that the other party was on the phone.
After hanging up the phone, the old man looked at Chu Yan and Gu Yin: "Our men caught them this morning, you can't go back on your word!" Hundreds of billions! The army's weapons also need a new batch!
Gu Yin: "..." If 001 were here, she would actually like to go too! It's all because the Chu family gave too much!
Gu Yin looked at Chu Yan expectantly. Chu Yan helplessly reached out and rubbed Gu Yin's face, and said with a smile, "It's okay, this is to help you stand up for your grandparents and uncles and aunts. It's okay, I can earn it back! I'll give it all to you later!"
Old Xie rolled his eyes: "Alright, stop being so lovey-dovey, let's go!"
Four hours later, the plane landed in Beijing. As soon as they got off the plane, they were taken to a special car that had been waiting for them, and they arrived at a red house without any hindrance.
After getting out of the car, Mr. Xie led the group inside.
The red house looks ordinary from the outside, but it is anything but ordinary inside. Not to mention that it is set up like the National Security Bureau, the people guarding it are numerous checkpoints and security measures.
The Gu family members had never seen anything like this before, and they were so nervous that they were trembling a little.
Seeing this, Chu Yan looked at Elder Xie and said, "Grandpa, I'll stay with Grandpa Zhou and the others."
Gu Yin was walking ahead and didn't notice what was happening behind her. When she heard Chu Yan's words, she turned around and saw the tension in her family's eyes.
Gu Yin's face darkened, displeased: "So who exactly contacted us? If they did, why bring us to a place like this, making it seem like we're being interrogated! I still have lingering trauma from what happened with the National Security Bureau last time!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the door next to her was opened from the inside. Gu Yin looked over and thought, "Okay, I don't recognize him."
The person who opened the door was wearing a military uniform, looked to be about fifty years old, and had the rank of senior colonel.
The man glanced at the others with a serious expression, then looked at Gu Yin, his brows furrowed: "You are Zhou Gu Yin."
The tone was certain, suggesting that they had done some research.
Gu Yin nodded.
Upon hearing this, the man turned and went into the room: "Come on, I have something to ask you. Close the door."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yin looked at Elder Xie and said, "Please keep an eye on my family."
Then, after entering the house and closing the door, Gu Yin sat down opposite the other person without allowing them to speak.
The man frowned upon seeing this, seemingly displeased with her lack of manners. However, he didn't say much, but arrogantly asked, "Did Blue Flame say anything special to you before jumping out of the plane, or ask you to help me pack anything?"
Gu Yin thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes."
A glint flashed in the man's eyes as he fixed his gaze on Gu Yin: "Where's the stuff?"
Gu Yin blinked: "Nothing, but he said some special things to me."
The man paused, and Gu Yin saw him take a deep breath, then pick up a pen and fiddle with it. It seemed that after calming down, he asked again, "What did he say?"
Gu Yin: "Lan Yan said that if I come back alive, she'll recognize me as her sister, a real sister! Sir, people of your status don't need to go through a vetting process to recognize godparents, do they?"
That's it? Anything else?
Gu Yin shook her head: "At that crucial moment, how could I say so much? Just this one sentence, what's wrong? Should Lan Yan say anything else?"
The man slammed his pen down on the table with a thud: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!" He then stood up, cleared his head, and turned to leave. As he reached the door, the other man spoke again: "As for whether you acknowledge your relatives or not, the organization doesn't have that kind of free time."
After saying that, he opened the door and strode away.
Gu Yin shook her head. How could someone with such a mindset have risen to this rank in the military?!
Old Xie quickly came in: "It's alright, let's go, let Ayan take you back."
After leaving the Red Mansion, the Gu family members looked at each other and, seeing that everyone was alright, remained silent. Chu Yan drove them back to the Gu residence.
Once home, the old lady finally breathed a sigh of relief: "What did they ask you?"
The old man spoke first: "I asked Lan Yan if he had anything to say, and I said I was so scared that I didn't pay attention to what Lan Yan said!"
The others exchanged glances.
"They asked me the same question."
"Mine too!"
"Me too!"
...
Finally, everyone looked at Gu Yin.
"Mine is the same, it's just routine, don't worry. Everyone was quite frightened when we went out this time. We'll have dinner and get a good night's sleep later, so don't overthink it!"
The aunt had already prepared the meal. Knowing that they needed to rest, the Chu family didn't come over to disturb them. Instead, they arranged for Aunt Zhu to come and cook some calming soup. Zhou Wansheng also called back, and after learning that they had arrived home safely, he urged Chu Yan to return to Dabai Mountain as soon as possible.
After drinking the calming soup, everyone slept soundly without any dreams.
Knowing that Gu Yin had returned, Tie Mao and Meng Yu came to the house early the next morning.
"Boss, you're finally back! Things online haven't calmed down yet, what should we do now?"
Meng Yu then asked, "Ever since your second experiment was revealed, everyone from the school, the Health Commission, and higher-ups has been asking me when you're going to come back to continue the experiment!"
Gu Yin hadn't been looking at anything online since she went abroad, but now that she had some free time, she took out her phone and browsed through it.
The online comments are much friendlier than before she went abroad, but some unfriendly comments still occur, such as these.
"We haven't heard from her for days. She must have really become a citizen of another country. What are you all doing begging her to come back?! It's shameful!"
"Exactly! She's putting on such a big show! She's so young, how could she do an experiment like that? I don't believe she did it without help. Even if she did it all by herself, isn't it normal for us to have doubts? Just say it! She's so narrow-minded!"
...
There are still many similar comments, all from people who stand on a moral high ground and point fingers at Gu Yin.
Since they all say they don't care, wouldn't it be a shame not to do something to discredit their speculation?
Gu Yin smiled, closed her phone, and looked at the two of them: "You don't need to worry about this. If anyone asks, just tell them to come find me. I'm going back to school tomorrow."
Seeing that she had her own plans, the two nodded and left the Gu residence.
