Chapter 764: Good Things Come Sooner Than You Think
The next morning, Gu Yin had just finished breakfast when she received a phone call from her superiors.
She was asked to go to the National Security Bureau to investigate Zhang Yicheng's matter. Since it involved Gu Hua, the two of them were taken away together.
While Gu Yin wasn't exactly an expert on the National Security Bureau, she knew quite a few people there. Given the occasional need to send extra personnel to her side, and the investigations and surveillance of those around her, most of the work required the National Security Bureau's intervention.
As soon as Gu Yin entered, she saw Lan Yan coming out. Gu Yin asked in confusion, "Big brother, what are you doing here?"
Lan Yan held up the file folder in her hand: "For the foreseeable future, I will be temporarily serving as the deputy director. All your matters will go through me, and your safety will be protected by us! Many of my subordinates have also come with me, so please give them your guidance from now on, little sister!"
Gu Yin was surprised. Given Lan Yan's abilities, he would have had the best career development in the military. The National Security Bureau was also a good option, but compared to the military environment, the military was more suitable for Lan Yan.
The National Security Bureau is mainly responsible for intelligence gathering, analysis and research, as well as counter-espionage work. The environment is relatively complex, and there are always undercurrents within the organization. Gu Yin is afraid that Lan Yan's straightforward mind might be swallowed up by something.
Gu Yin stepped forward, pursed her lips, and asked, "Did you apply for this job yourself, or was it assigned by your superiors?"
Ever since Chu Yan and Lan Yan discussed her safety, she could sense that Lan Yan's work seemed to revolve around her. She didn't want her family to be doing jobs they didn't like because of her. She worked so hard because she wanted to give them enough freedom and the right to choose for themselves! If her family members were to be restricted or held back because of her, that was not something she wanted to see.
Seeing Gu Yin's expression, Lan Yan smiled helplessly and said, "It's not what you think! Don't overthink it! It's just a normal job transfer!"
Gu Yin didn't believe her: "I do know a bit about this, you can't fool me."
Lan Yan touched his nose and smiled helplessly, "It's true that it's partly because of you, but it's all my own choice! And because of you, it was very easy for me to get a job here, and I can even make some requests. I'm still working with my old brothers, just in a different place. And didn't we agree before? You strive to become someone who needs the protection of the country! I'll strive to protect you! See? We've reached the same goal through different paths! With me here, my family is more at ease! Don't overthink it. If I don't like it, no one can force me."
Before, when I was alone, I didn't think too much. Dedicating my whole life to the military was a happy thing.
Later, he had a family, a lover, responsibilities, and people he wanted to protect, so he had to rethink many things. Coming to the National Security Bureau was also part of his plan, and it wasn't what Gu Yin thought. On the contrary, because of her, his onboarding went very smoothly.
Seeing that there was no sign of difficulty or disappointment in his eyes, Gu Yin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's good! It's good to be here. You can go home for dinner every day. A few days ago, when Sister Niannian came to visit, Grandma was talking about you. Now we can see each other every day."
Lan Yan smiled upon hearing this: "Niannian told me that she has been busy with work recently and has not had any free time to go home. I will go home tonight and tell my family some good news."
Gu Yin raised her eyebrows: "Good news? Is it something good between you and Sister Niannian?"
Lan Yan was a little embarrassed, but she was genuinely happy, her face beaming with joy.
"Yes, we've submitted our marriage application and it's been approved. Niannian and I want to take advantage of this time while I'm getting used to my job to get married! Otherwise, once I'm settled in, I'll be busy."
Gu Yin was surprised: "So fast? Sister Niannian agreed to marry you? Are you two ready for the wedding? Have you made plans for married life?"
She thought it would take some time to adjust to each other.
Lan Yan nodded: "Although we were a bit fast, it was a decision made after careful consideration! There are some things we don't understand, so we'll need Grandpa and Grandma's help later. Let's discuss it together when we get home tonight!"
Just then, someone came out and, seeing him chatting with Gu Yin, hesitated and stopped.
Lan Yan stopped the conversation upon seeing this: "Go and give your statement first, we'll talk again when you get home tonight."
Gu Yin looked at the person at the door. Seeing that everyone had come out to greet her, she didn't want to delay any longer and nodded, "Okay, let's talk about it when we get home. I'll go over first."
Gu Hua nodded in agreement and they walked towards the door together.
