Hearing this, Wen Yifan calmed down and stopped.
Shen Guannan was severely suppressed by Lu Jin'an some time ago, all because he lost Gu Zhilin.
Now that the person has been found, everything is fine.
He looked at Gu Zhilin, who seemed to be in good spirits, and laughed, "It's good that you're alright now. If something had really happened to you, Lu Jin'an would have devoured me alive."
Lu Jin'an glanced at him indifferently, but did not refute his words.
"It's not as exaggerated as you say," Gu Zhilin said with a smile, shaking his head.
He looked at everyone and said, "I owe my safety to you all."
They all waved their hands repeatedly, indicating that it was what they should do.
Only Jiang Jiyang stepped forward with a grin: "You really have to thank me. You don't know that if I hadn't stopped General Lu, he would have rushed straight to the 'Natural Barrier' headquarters."
“At that time, without approval and without military personnel accompanying you, I’m afraid General Lu could have turned the entire ‘natural barrier’ upside down and still not found you.”
Gu Zhilin turned to look at Lu Jin'an, seemingly unable to believe that he would do something so irrational.
But Lu Jin'an turned her head away and refused to meet his gaze.
This made Jiang Jiyang burst into laughter.
Zeng Yan added, "I can testify that although I wasn't there at the time, Jiang Jiyang handled everything from submitting reports and making applications to the higher-ups. I even helped him a lot."
"I've never seen General Lu so irrational in all these years. He's definitely the partner he's chosen. General Lu really cares about you, Gu Zhilin." Zeng Yan stepped forward and patted Gu Zhilin on the shoulder in a hearty manner.
The woman had a strong grip, and the slaps made a loud thud.
Lu Jin'an yanked the person's hand away: "Just talk, don't get physical. Gu Zhilin is not like you, a rough and uncouth person."
Gu Zhilin was speechless. For the first time, he had become rough and unrefined in front of a woman.
He said helplessly, "Even though I've become an omega now, I don't have to do this."
Lu Jin'an turned her head away from him and instead called everyone back to the club first.
He thought Gu Zhilin looked so cute and aggrieved at that moment, and he was afraid that he would not be able to resist touching him.
Upon hearing this, everyone felt that there was no need to keep standing at the entrance of the research center.
So they all got into the car and prepared to return to the club.
Gu Zhilin naturally got into Lu Jin'an's flying car.
Wen Yili was a little unhappy following behind him. Just as he was about to follow, Shen Guannan pulled him and his brother into Shen Guannan's car: "They're working on developing their chemistry, so let's not disturb them."
"You don't need to train a partnership like this, do you? Besides... did Brother Zhilin agree to be General Lu's partner?" Wen Yili protested.
Shen Guannan scoffed: "What? You're still not convinced? You don't think Gu Zhilin hasn't agreed to be Lu Jin'an's partner yet, do you? The military's recruitment procedures are already being processed."
"If Gu Zhilin doesn't become Lu Jin'an's partner, do you think Lu Jin'an will give him up to someone else?"
Wen Yili thought about the man's personality for a moment.
If Gu Zhilin doesn't agree to be his partner, he definitely won't let Gu Zhilin enlist.
He still protested, saying, "Even though Brother Zhilin is so capable, he doesn't necessarily have to be General Lu's partner. Brother Zhilin's partner should naturally be the most capable one."
"So, in your opinion, among the younger generation of the entire Earth Alliance Army, who is more capable than Lu Jin'an?" Shen Guannan asked the boy behind him with a mocking look.
These words left Wen Yili speechless. At least among the current generation of the Earth Alliance Army, there was no one else who could rival Lu Jin'an.
"It's just now, but who knows what the future holds." The boy's tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and even carried a defiant spirit.
"Young man, you have ambition. Keep it up! I also hope that one day you can bring down Lu Jin'an, and then you'll know that Brother Lin will be your partner." With Shen Guannan's teasing words, the car started moving.
Everyone returned to the club. Although they had only been gone for a few days, Gu Zhilin felt as if he had been gone for a very, very long time.
Even... she came back this time with a different gender.
He shook his head helplessly.
Because Gu Zhilin was returning, Shen Guannan paid for a simple welcome banquet at the club.
He ordered the best food from the best hotel in the upper district and had it delivered; he no longer dared to take anyone out to celebrate.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they started playing cards.
Gu Zhilin then realized that even after a thousand years, playing cards were still a form of entertainment for humans.
There have been some changes compared to the rules from a thousand years ago, but overall it's still pretty good.
So he learned it after watching two games.
Seeing that Lu Jin'an had played a good hand so badly, he couldn't help but push him away: "You go down, I'll take over."
Lu Jin'an wasn't interested in this kind of game to begin with, so he didn't put much effort into it.
I just didn't expect Gu Zhilin to be so interested.
So without saying anything, I gave him my seat.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw General Lu, who was usually so aloof, being pushed away by Gu Zhilin.
At this moment, Shen Guannan, Jiang Jiyang, and Zeng Yan were at the card table.
The Wen brothers had little interest in watching from the sidelines.
He only moved closer after Gu Zhilin sat down at the table.
Gu Zhilin took Lu Jin'an's cards and first sorted them out in order, without placing them according to Lu Jin'an's ranking.
At first, Shen Guannan and the others knew that Gu Zhilin had never played modern poker before, and they were worried that he wouldn't be able to play well.
They deliberately let the water flow out.
But after playing two games, I realized this person's skills were terrifyingly good.
Most importantly, this person seems to have mind-reading abilities; he knows exactly what cards other people are holding.
After playing a few rounds with Zeng Yan, Jiang Jiyang realized just how smart Gu Zhilin was.
Shen Guannan, however, was quite unconvinced: "Gu Zhilin, you're not actually a Taoist priest, are you? Did you study playing cards in ancient times?"
Gu Zhilin rolled his eyes and ignored him.
Shen Guannan was still unconvinced: "How do you know I only have a low card left in my hand?"
"Boss Shen, don't worry about it. They're counting cards." Wen Yifan couldn't stand it anymore and had to remind him.
Shen Guannan was even more displeased: "What? It's one thing for him to tell fortunes, but why is he also calculating cards? He wasn't even fiddling with his coins!"
Everyone was speechless.
He continued, "Does this count as a cheat code?"
"Shen Guannan, are you out of your mind? People are saying that Gu Zhilin is calculating the cards. He remembers all the cards we've played, so he can roughly guess what cards we have left and then look at our expressions. With all those expressions, Gu Zhilin could tell what cards you have left just by looking at them." Jiang Jiyang couldn't stand this idiot anymore.
He threw his cards on the table, deciding he wasn't going to lose anymore.
He could still put up some pressure when fighting Lu Jin'an, but he had no room to maneuver when fighting Gu Zhilin.
Zeng Yan also took the opportunity to throw her cards on the table: "Boss Shen is too stupid, I'm not playing anymore."
Looking at the hand he was about to win, and then at the cards the two had scattered on the table, Gu Zhilin was speechless: "Are you going to flip the table if you lose?"
