Chapter 657: Deployment (Three Chapters Combined)
Seeing Xiaosheng chatting more and more enthusiastically with the Gu family, Zhang Wancheng began to feel a little anxious.
He laughed and called out, "Ah Sheng, is Miss Zhou busy today? How about we come another day?"
Xiao Sheng asked in confusion, "She's probably busy, no need to rush. By the way, Uncle, is there something you need from Gu Yin?" He couldn't recall his uncle having any dealings with the Gu or Zhou families.
Zhang Wancheng smiled and said, "I do have something to discuss with her. I'm planning to enter the pharmaceutical industry, so I'd like to talk to her about a collaboration!"
Xiao Sheng thought of Gu Yin's identity and nodded: "Then you have to show your sincerity. There are countless people who want to cooperate with her. If you are not sincere enough, even if my father were here, he wouldn't be able to help you. So why are you looking for Lan Yan?"
Zhang Wancheng continued, "I also want to start a security company and find some veterans. They are physically fit, disciplined, and capable. The people Lan Yan knows are all quite capable, so I wanted to talk to him. Well, I heard he came here, so I came over."
Upon hearing this, the old man looked at the old woman and said, "Go and see why Ah Yin hasn't come for so long."
Just as Grandma Gu got up, she saw Gu Yin and Chu Yan walk in.
Gu Yin looked at Xiao Sheng and smiled, "Why did you come over? How are you feeling?"
Xiao Sheng said gratefully, "I just took the medicine today, and I'm feeling fine now. I don't feel uncomfortable at all, but my skin is still a bit dry and cracked. Besides thanking you formally, I also wanted to ask if I could apply some moisturizer for this condition. My skin is so dry and cracked that it's hard to wear clothes, and it's easy for them to crack again."
Gu Yin saw many valuable gifts piled on the table. After glancing at them, she walked up to Xiao Sheng and said, "Roll up your sleeves so I can take a look."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Sheng rolled up his sleeves.
On the fair skin were many dry lines, like a child's cracked face in winter, and the clothes were covered with flakes of skin.
Have you asked a doctor?
Xiao Sheng nodded: "I asked them, and they said it's okay, but I'm worried about any adverse reactions with the medicine you gave me, so I'm still hesitant to use it."
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this: "Try it and see. If it works, continue using it. If it doesn't work, tell me and I'll get you one. But you need to know that it can only control, not cure."
Compared to the previous state of being unable to live or die, things are much better now!
Xiao Sheng smiled and nodded: "Then I'll use the one the doctor gave me first. If it doesn't work, I'll come back to you. I have another question I want to ask."
He was a little embarrassed to say this, but since it concerned such an important matter in his life, he had to ask.
Seeing his grandson's endless questions, Zhang Wancheng, who was standing nearby, became anxious.
"Um, Miss Zhou, why didn't Lan Yan come along?"
Gu Yin blinked: "You're looking for Lan Yan? What do you want with him?"
Zhang Wancheng explained his reasons, and Gu Yin smiled and said, "He's busy right now, you'll have to wait a bit."
After speaking, he looked at Xiaosheng and asked, "Any other questions?"
Just as Xiao Sheng was about to ask, Zhang Wancheng immediately stood up: "I need to see him urgently! Could you please ask him to come out for a moment?!"
Xiao Sheng frowned: "Uncle, we can discuss the cooperation anytime. You don't need to rush. Lan Yan isn't going to run away!" What's wrong with Uncle today? Why does he keep interrupting? It's so rude!
Seeing that Xiao Sheng was angry, Zhang Wancheng sat down and said, "This matter is urgent for me. I'm just waiting for his reply."
Xiao Sheng looked at Gu Yin: "Lan Yan is here, otherwise would we have called him out to talk?"
Gu Yin blinked and said helplessly, "He's not home, he went out, he'll be back in a bit, so I said let's wait and talk to him when he gets back, because we don't know where he went."
"What?! He's not here? When did he leave?"
Gu Yin: "Right when you arrived."
Zhang Wancheng couldn't sit still any longer. He glared at Gu Yin and left the Gu family home without a word.
Xiao Sheng: "???"
Xiaosheng was utterly speechless!
He looked at the Gu family members apologetically: "Uncle must have something urgent to attend to. I'm sorry for being rude!"
Gu Yin and Chu Yan exchanged a glance. Chu Yan nodded and stood up: "I have something to attend to here, so I'll go out for a bit. You two chat first, young master, please excuse me."
Xiao Sheng nodded: "Let's talk again when we have time."
Chu Yan left the house and headed straight for the back door, contacting Lan Yan as he went.
The call was answered quickly: "What happened? Did you get caught?"
Chu Yan said in a deep voice, "He has already left. Have you reached your destination yet?"
"Still on the way, but soon enough. They won't be able to catch up. Damn it, they're asking for it!"
Suddenly, Chu Yan heard a blue flame burst out. He had just frowned when he heard a loud bang, followed by the sound of car tires screeching on the ground!
"What happened?! Did you hear me?! Lan Yan?! Instructor Lan?!" Chu Yan shouted in a deep voice as he quickly passed through the back door.
"Cough cough cough!!" After a while, Lan Yan's coughing sound rang out.
"I'm fine. These scumbags dared to cause a car accident right in the middle of the city! It seems this thing is more important than I thought! Where are you now?"
Chu Yan had just stepped out the back door and was waiting for a car: "I'm here at the back door, waiting for a car. I'll be right there!"
"Ahem, listen to me, there's a loose brick near the back door revolving door. I left my things there, so grab them right now and drive straight to the red house to wait for me. I'll just walk them around for a bit! Don't tell Ayin, she's definitely being watched too. Can you handle it if you go by yourself?"
Chu Yan immediately turned around and walked to the rotating area he liked. He pressed a few buttons, and on the third rotating spot, he found the item Lan Yan had placed there: "A man can't say no. I'm leaving now. Be careful, we're having a family reunion dinner tonight!"
"Don't worry, you're not getting away with calling me 'brother'!" He hung up the phone, not even glancing at the car that had crashed into the wall, and tried to start it.
There was a knocking sound on the car window. Looking up, he saw the bodyguard he had met at the Gu family's house before. Lan Yan knew immediately that Gu Yin was worried and had sent someone to follow him. So he nodded, got up and got out of the car, and changed cars.
"Mr. Lan, there are two cars following behind."
Lan Yan nodded: "Do you know the map of Beijing? Let's give them a run for their money!"
Just three minutes later, another car appeared in front of them, driving erratically as if it were drunk, and was heading straight for them.
"There are people lying in ambush along the way, Mr. Lan. What kind of mess have you stirred up? Exciting!" The second brother said with a laugh, then drifted the car around a sharp corner and drove off in another direction.
Lan Yan remained silent, but his expression turned serious. He called 02: "Is he in Beijing? That's good. Pick up Chu Yan at the Red House. Yes, that's him. Have someone drive along the road ahead and make sure he gets to the Red House safely! Bring weapons. Do whatever it takes to complete the mission!"
Seeing how serious he was, the second and third brothers stopped talking.
On the other side, after getting the items, Chu Yan returned to the garage and drove the car out.
Then, at the entrance, they saw Zhang Wancheng. He hadn't left yet!
Seeing him looking over, Chu Yan stopped the car and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhang, why aren't you going in?"
Zhang Wancheng glanced into the car and chuckled, "Got a craving for a cigarette? What's wrong?"
Chu Yan sighed helplessly, "Something came up at the company, I have to go there. Okay, you can take your time, I'll go take care of my business now." After saying that, the car turned and drove towards the Chu Group.
Zhang Wancheng only looked away after the car had disappeared from sight.
The phone rang: "How's it going? Is he alright? Going in circles? Useless! Couldn't you have stopped him? So what if he's in the city center! If he gets to his destination alive, nobody else will survive!"
Zhang Wancheng hung up the phone, glanced in the direction Chu Yan had left, his heart sank, and he immediately made another call: "Wait next to the Chu Group building. When you see the Chu family's young master come out, stop him and check him, no matter what the reason! If he doesn't cooperate, you know what to do!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Wancheng got into the car: "To the Red House!"
On the other side, after arriving at the Chu Group, Chu Yan drove directly to the underground parking garage, then went to his office to change his clothes. He then found a bodyguard and had him put on the same clothes he had just worn.
"Wear this outfit and drive my Land Rover from the garage in ten minutes. Head towards Qingdao University. You can stop and drive as you please, but don't get out of the car. Remember, safety first!"
After changing his clothes, the bodyguard waited for ten minutes before going directly down to the garage.
Chu Yan changed into sportswear, put on a hat, pushed his mountain bike out of the lounge, and then set off through a side entrance of the company.
After riding for a while, the arranged car drove up to him, and Chu Yan calmly got on.
Family-oriented.
After Chu Yan left, she looked at Xiao Sheng and asked, "What is the problem you mentioned?"
Seeing that he was embarrassed, the others in the room all made excuses to leave.
Once everyone else was gone, Xiaosheng smiled and said, "I want to ask, if this disease continues to be controlled like this, how long can I live? If I get married, will it have any impact on my life or on my children, or will it be hereditary?"
Gu Yin hadn't expected him to have this question: "I can't guarantee how long I can control it right now, because we don't know if that thing will change. But as long as it doesn't change, seventy or eighty years is still possible. It's just a bit more tiring than for a normal person. Marriage isn't a problem if the woman doesn't mind. But I don't mind having children. You know, it's about genes. I can't guarantee what the baby will be."
Although he had prepared himself, Xiao Sheng was still disappointed when he heard Gu Yin's answer.
He wanted to laugh, but he simply didn't have the strength: "I don't force having children, I don't force marriage, but I hope to live a long life. I still have so many things I haven't finished."
Genetic experiments are currently not permitted by the authorities, and Gu Yin has no intention of giving up. However, she wants to take a different path, one that is suitable for the Chinese physique.
"Don't be discouraged. Maybe in a few years the research institute will develop that thing and the root of your illness will be cured."
Xiao Sheng sighed: "I hope so!"
After seeing Xiaosheng off, Gu Yin immediately called Chu Yan.
Where are you now?
Chu Yan, who had just gotten into the car, said: "When I came out, Zhang Wancheng was still at the door. I turned around and went to the company, and had someone disguise themselves as me and drive away. Now I am in another car and on my way to the Red House."
Gu Yin narrowed her eyes: "Did Lan Yan give you the thing?"
Chu Yan nodded: "Yes, he's being followed too. You're a big target, so it's safer for me to deliver it."
Gu Yin immediately hung up the phone, called the person in charge of her safety, and walked towards the garage.
A short while later, two soldiers in civilian clothes walked over.
"I need to see my supervisor. Could you please take me there? All the bodyguards at home are out, and no one can drive. I'm not feeling well, so I'd appreciate your help."
The two men saluted: "No trouble at all!"
As the car passed by the gate, Gu Yin looked around but didn't see Zhang Wancheng, so she figured he was already gone.
"Drive faster, it's urgent."
Upon hearing this, the driver sped up.
On the other side, after the Chu family's bodyguards arrived at Qingda University, they stopped for a while before slowly starting the car again.
The person following immediately noticed something was wrong and hurriedly told Zhang Wancheng what was going on.
"Slow down, the car behind us is out of sight." Lan Yan quickly reminded 02 when she saw that the car behind hadn't caught up after a while.
"Something's not right. Stop going in circles and head towards Tianmen! Speed up and catch up!" Lan Yan said as she called Chu Yan.
Chu Yan had already arrived at the street near the Red House. After passing the traffic light in front of him, he only needed to drive another 500 meters, get out of the car, and walk about 20 meters to reach the Red House.
The streetlights came on, and the car continued driving forward.
Chu Yan looked around. Because this was a special place, there were usually not many people here. Even if someone did stay, they wouldn't stay long, otherwise they would think you had some purpose!
When they reached a point where the car could no longer proceed, Chu Yan did not immediately get out.
"Why are there so many cars? Wait a minute!" Chu Yan stopped the bodyguard as he prepared to open the car door.
The bodyguard also noticed something amiss: "These cars are driving back and forth, are they looking for something?"
Chu Yan lowered his body. Luckily, he had someone bring a taxi. If it had been his own car, the license plate number would have given away his location.
Just then, Lan Yan called, and Chu Yan answered immediately.
Blue Flame: "Where are you?"
Chu Yan: "We've arrived here, but we can't get out of the car. There are several suspicious vehicles loitering around here, so I can't just walk over."
Lan Yan: "Don't move in the car! Wait for me to get there, and be careful! If there's really no other way, run towards the red house as soon as possible! No matter how bold they are, they wouldn't dare to cause trouble at the entrance! The people I arranged should be arriving soon!"
After hanging up the phone, Chu Yan immediately called Gu Yin.
The call was connected quickly.
Chu Yan looked at the people who had gotten out of the car and were preparing to search, and said, "Are you coming this way? It's not safe here right now, so don't come over. I can handle it myself. If you come over, I'll be worried!" He knew that Gu Yin was coming this way as soon as she hung up the phone.
Gu Yin looked out the window, her face expressionless, and asked, "Have you arrived at your destination?"
"right."
How many people?
"Right now it's just me and one bodyguard, but Lan Yan and the people he arranged are ready. Don't worry, I'll be fine."
"Maintain safety, we'll wait for you to come back."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yin immediately called the third leader, but the third leader was not there and was on a business trip. Helpless, Gu Yin had no choice but to call the first leader. She took a gamble and bet that the first leader did not know what Zhang Wancheng had done!
Thinking back to when she passed away in her previous life, the number one leader was still number one, so she finally pressed that number!
The call was quickly connected, answered by the other party's secretary, and soon after, the voice of the number one leader came through.
"Why are you calling? What's wrong?" Leader No. 1 asked, puzzled. Normally, even if there was something wrong, they wouldn't call him directly. That's the rule, and everyone knows it, because he's too busy to handle everything personally.
"Old leader, to make a long story short, Lan Yan obtained a very important document. Because he was being tracked, the document could only be given to Chu Yan. Chu Yan is currently waiting at the gate, but this document is too important. It involves very important people. He is stuck at the gate and cannot get out of the car. On the way here, he, Lan Yan, and I were all followed. Lan Yan's car was even hit. The fact that those people are so crazy is enough to show the importance of this matter. I hope you can arrange for some people to pick up Chu Yan."
Leader No. 1 frowned: "They won't dare to mess around at the main gate. Just let Chu Yan come in directly. I'll have the gatekeeper let him through."
"No! He's trapped, and those people are armed!"
The number one leader stood up and walked out: "Then tell him not to move. I'll go first and arrange for someone to go over there!" After saying that, he called out the names of the people in charge and said sternly as he walked out: "Have the gatekeepers activate the highest level of security! Bring Chu Yan over safely immediately! I want to see which audacious person dares to make a move in Beijing! Right here in the Red House!"
After Gu Yin finished the call, she breathed a sigh of relief. Chu Yan didn't know anyone in charge at the Red House. Even if he got there, he could only wait at the door for approval, which was too dangerous!
"Speed up!"
The soldier driving the car realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately sped up!
Chu Yan saw someone walk up to their car and knock on the driver's side window. He slid off the seat and quietly hid behind the car.
The bodyguard rolled down the car window a little, frowned at the people outside, and said impatiently, "Get a ride? It's lunchtime now! I'm changing drivers, I'm not picking you up! Find someone else!"
The man laughed and said, "You just brought someone over?" He then glanced into the car.
The bodyguard tugged at his pants, immediately leaned against the car window, and frowned: "What am I doing here if I'm not picking someone up? Isn't that obvious? What are you looking at! Are you peeing?!"
Upon hearing this, the man immediately pulled away, saying with a hint of exasperation, "...There's a public restroom just a little further out. You're really inconsiderate!"
The bodyguard unzipped his pants, grabbed the water bottle from the passenger seat, and said impatiently, "Don't you know that everyone needs to pee? Fine, go ahead, I can't pee here! I'm bursting! I'm not giving anyone else a ride! We're going to eat soon! Go call a car outside! Still looking?! Do you want to compare sizes? Okay, okay, you want to look, huh? Fine!" He then rolled down the car window.
Upon seeing this, the person immediately walked away with disdain.
He cursed as he walked, "Damn it, what bad luck! I've always heard that drivers keep water bottles in their cars just in case, and it's actually true!"
After the others left, the bodyguard rolled up the car window and whispered, "Boss, what do we do now? I just saw he definitely had something in his pocket! Who are these people? How come they have this kind of thing in China?!"
Chu Yan sat down and patted him on the shoulder: "Well done. Don't worry about them. I'll go out when our own people arrive."
