Chapter 902 Washing Out Wall Street
Gu Yin shook her head: "How do you usually eat?"
Chu Yan dried her hair, picked up a hairdryer, and sat down on the sofa: "It's just a place to sleep, there's no need to prepare all that."
Gu Yin walked to the sofa, pressed Chu Yan down, took the hairdryer from his hand, and dried his hair.
Chu Yan paused for a moment, then smiled, and sat quietly without making a sound, enjoying the rare moment of warmth.
"Okay, that's enough."
Chu Yan put the things away, then pulled Gu Yin to lie down on the sofa, gently patting her back: "It's time, and Senior Jin still hasn't returned. Could something have happened? Do you want to contact him?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yin checked and found that more than half an hour had indeed passed. She quickly used the equipment at the base to contact Jin Wanli.
A short while later, I received a reply from the other party: "Something came up, please wait another hour."
Gu Yin glanced out the French windows; in another hour, it would be dawn.
"He's tied up with something and won't be back for about an hour."
Chu Yan: "...Sigh, fine, I should have asked sooner."
However, compared to his physical desires, Chu Yan was more interested in knowing how Gu Yin had managed over the past six months. He hadn't been by her side, and he wondered if she was eating on time and taking good care of herself.
Gu Yin chuckled and playfully punched him: "Tell me about your situation here. How did you become the successor of the George family?"
Chu Yan: "Let's have a good chat for the rest of the time. Have you been taking good care of yourself? You seem to have lost a lot of weight."
The two spoke at the same time, not expecting to say similar things.
Chu Yan chuckled: "We're really on the same wavelength. I'm quite busy here, so you go ahead and talk to me. Before, when you were at home, you had some fat around your waist, but now it's much thinner. Are you too tired? Or are you just too lazy to go out for meals? Didn't you bring two students with you? Don't they know how to make arrangements?"
Gu Yin smiled and shook her head as she listened to his concern: "I've been a bit busy these past few days, so I haven't been eating much. I'll make up for it when I get back! My life is quite monotonous, just experiments as always. But I do have to talk to you about this, Senior Jin."
The doorbell rang, and Chu Yan patted Gu Yin on the shoulder before getting up to open the door.
"The food has arrived. There's not much good food here, and I'm surrounded by dangers, so Ah Le brought a chef from China to my side through special means. I've arranged for him to sit downstairs. Come on, have something to eat first."
Gu Yin was indeed hungry. When she saw the dishes on the table, she smiled knowingly: "Stir-fried celery with beef? Smoked bamboo shoots and cured pork? These are all my favorite dishes. They are even from the menu when we were in high school."
Chu Yan placed a piece of beef on her plate: "Try it and see if it's good."
Gu Yin nodded, took a bite, swallowed, and looked at Chu Yan in surprise: "This skill, this taste, how come it feels just like what I make?"
Compared to Aunt Ya and Chu Yan, Gu Yin's cooking skills are really not that great; she can only be considered an ateer. Occasionally, when she feels like it, she will cook a few times, and Chu Yan will always finish every last bite. She really admires him.
Chu Yan picked up a bite, and after finishing it, she said casually, "I learned your cooking techniques. When I first came here, I was busy and chaotic, and I missed you so much. I didn't have time to cook, so I taught him your skills. Most of the time, I would order these two dishes. Whenever I did, I felt like I was back in my senior year of high school, waiting for you to come over for dinner in my dorm. Time flies so fast. We're already married. So, have you mastered your skills? I've been getting through these lonely and long days by relying on these two dishes and Ah Le showing me your photos from time to time."
At this point, he looked at Gu Yin pitifully and said, "You're so pitiful!"
Gu Yin felt a pang of sadness: "You've suffered, but who told you to be with me? You have to bear the hardship! Just know that these past few years are just a fleeting moment in the long days ahead of us. We'll be together for this lifetime and for all eternity!"
Looking into her serious yet certain gaze, Chu Yan suddenly felt less aggrieved.
"You like me that much? You want to be with me for all eternity?"
Gu Yin, who was speaking seriously, was speechless.
Seeing her speechless expression, Chu Yan couldn't help but chuckle: "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. I know I'm not tired. Being with you makes everything worthwhile. Tell me about Senior Jin. I'm quite curious."
Gu Yin nodded and recounted the events surrounding Jin Wanli's appearance and the events that occurred at Dabai Mountain. Chu Yan, being an insider, was able to know these things.
"I'm telling you all this because I want to tell you that there are likely some loopholes in this world. And those loopholes may also lead to some unknown things. For example, Senior Jin, I asked him if these situations only exist in our country or if there's a probability of them happening all over the world. He just said, 'This world is like a plug, full of loopholes.' We're not by your side, but with Chi Ye here, I feel a little more at ease. However, you still need to be careful. If you encounter something and can't defeat it, go back to China. I believe Chi Ye has something that can save your life. As long as you're back in China, you won't be afraid of anything, understand?"
This is also why she wanted to visit Chu Yan. There are some things that he will only take to heart if she tells him them in person.
Chu Yan frowned, as if he had thought of something, but he quickly concealed it.
"I've remembered everything you said. I'll talk to Chi Ye about it later."
Gu Yin nodded: "That's about all I wanted to say. What's the situation on your end? Where's your teacher?"
Chu Yan briefly highlighted some key points: "When I arrived, my teacher picked me up directly and arranged for me to stay at Wilson Castle. I originally planned to lie low for a while and then slowly use my teacher's connections to develop my career. However, plans don't always go as expected. I originally thought that I was just a nobody, and even if I made such a big fuss, most people would just be curious and then go about their business. But somehow, I was targeted by the Wilson family and encountered repeated setbacks on Wall Street. Later, I was inexplicably hunted down. I later learned that I had been caught up in my teacher's family feud."
It was quite a coincidence that his teacher discovered he had Alzheimer's disease. At first, he only experienced forgetfulness and impaired judgment, making it difficult to make accurate decisions. Later, he even started getting lost and needed help with simple daily life tasks, making financial management and other matters impossible. Seeing this, his family immediately began to erode his influence, and Chu Yan was relegated from a prized student to a marginal figure. His seniors were also helpless, as this was a matter for their own families, and outsiders could not get involved, even though they were their teacher's students.
Under these circumstances, Chu Yan could not simply sit idly by and wait for his doom.
He took the opportunity to feed his teacher the pills that Gu Yin had given him. The pills weren't the best kind; they were the kind that could only be obtained by important departments or wealthy people in China. So, no one found it strange that he had such pills.
After taking the medication, the teacher was briefly lucid for a period of time. When she saw that the career she had built up was almost destroyed, she was furious.
After learning that Chu Yan had saved him, he swiftly dealt with the internal conflicts within his family, but it was too late. Upon seeing him regain consciousness, the family members immediately contacted other families outside the family to accelerate the process of eroding and dividing up Chu Yan's power.
Knowing that Chu Yan had run out of medicine, the old man became ruthless. He contacted his wife's family, the George family, and had them swallowed up. Not only that, he also set a trap to sideline the George family. He originally thought he could continue to be lucid, but after more than a month, he started to forget things again. Having had one experience, he didn't want to try living a mindless life, so he formed a medical team to treat patients. His prized student, Chu Yan, was put on the spot as the temporary manager.
After listening, Gu Yin couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "So the opportunity came, and you seized it, turning the tables in the shortest amount of time! Impressive!"
