Gu Ermiao: emmm, I think my brother might have the invisible attribute of a pervert
When Qiu Yanping woke up, he first stared at the unfamiliar ceiling for a while, and then he remembered that he should be living in Gu Wenye's house. No wonder it looked a little strange.
As he thought this, he turned over and sat up straight. He glanced around and saw Gu Wenye sleeping on a recliner beside the bed. He was startled and jumped off the bed to the open space one or two meters away.
Gu Wenye was awakened by Qiu Yanping's big move. He blinked slightly, raised his hand to rub the corners of his eyes, and said good morning, "Mr. Qiu, did you sleep well last night?"
Qiu Yanping: “…”
Now he remembered everything. Even though he was a little drunk last night, he was not drunk to the point of blackout. All those scenes now flashed through Qiu Yanping's mind like a tattered picture album.
He actually occupied Gu Wenye's bed and slept for the whole night... Gu Wenye was really a good friend for not throwing him out.
Qiu Yanping pulled his lips a little awkwardly, and then tried to appear calm, so he unconsciously smiled a rather subtle smile and said, "General Gu's bed is quite comfortable. Sorry for disturbing you last night."
"It doesn't matter." Gu Wenye smiled slightly, he sat up straight, Qiu Yanping watched him sit up straight from the recliner effortlessly, and then rely on the support of his arms to move himself from the recliner to the wheelchair on the side. He smacked his lips slightly, thinking that General Gu must have very good waist, abdomen and arm strength.
"Mr. Qiu, please use the bathroom first." Gu Wenye saw Qiu Yanping looking at him blankly, not knowing what he was thinking, and couldn't help but laugh. Qiu Yanping looked as if he was in a trance after sleeping in someone else's room for a whole night. Gu Wenye simply reminded him.
Qiu Yanping withdrew his gaze from Gu Wenye's waist, abdomen and arm muscles, and realized that he was staring at Gu Wenye in a daze. He touched the tip of his nose awkwardly, nodded, and walked into the bathroom.
Not long after, Qiu Yanping came out of the bathroom again, holding up his mouthwash cup awkwardly, and asked, "Um...are there new cups and toothbrushes?"
Gu Wenye was stunned for a moment, it seemed that there was no...
Qiu Yanping finally returned to his own small villa. While brushing his teeth and rinsing his mouth, he was complaining in his heart that the bottle of red wine last night must be fake.
When the two met in the restaurant, Gu Wenye was talking to Gu Wenle. He was massaging his head and neck with one hand. Perhaps he had a stiff neck from sleeping on the recliner last night. When he saw Qiu Yanping, he nodded and smiled at him and said, "Mr. Qiu, if you are hungry, you can eat first. Being drunk last night is not good for your stomach."
Qiu Yanping's face flushed slightly, he nodded and pulled out a chair to sit down. He had occupied Gu Wenye's bed all night last night, and now seeing Gu Wenye rubbing his head and neck, he felt a little guilty and was too embarrassed to answer.
Gu Wenle's eyes widened, surprised to see Qiu Yanping's rare embarrassed expression. Then he turned to his elder brother. Drunk? Last night? It seemed like a lot of information.
Gu Wenye ignored Gu Wenle's eyes that were full of curiosity.
Gu Wenle curled his lips and simply spoke directly. He moved to the side of Qiu Yanping, pulled out a chair and sat down. He casually took two steamed buns and placed them in front of him. He pretended to eat breakfast and asked indirectly, pretending to be concerned, "Mr. Qiu was drunk last night?"
Qiu Yanping narrowed his eyes slightly. Drunk? There was no word for "drunk" in Qiu Yanping's dictionary!
"Drunk? No." Qiu Yanping denied it righteously, scooped himself a spoonful of white porridge, blew it slowly to cool it down and put it into his mouth.
Gu Wenle choked, and instantly put an end to all his subsequent gossip intentions. Gu Wenye smiled, tilting his eyes to look at Qiu Yanping, who looked upright and talked nonsense. He really wanted to save face.
The three were having breakfast when the housekeeper came in again and said that the man who had visited last night was here again.
Gu Wenle looked dismayed at the untouched breakfast on the table. This man Xu Qinglou really knew how to pick the right time to come. If there was a third time, would it be at noon?
Although he was complaining in his heart, he still looked very serious. He picked up a towel and wiped his mouth, then said, "Then let him wait in the reception room."
The butler responded and walked out.
Gu Wenle looked at Gu Wenye helplessly and said, "This fly is really staring at us closely."
"Let's go." Qiu Yanping drank a few mouthfuls of warm porridge, stood up and glanced at Gu Wenle, "A fly biting stinky meat, why do you say that about yourself?"
Gu Wenle: "..." He looked at Qiu Yanping's back as he walked out first, and couldn't help but whisper to his elder brother, "Why do I feel that Mr. Qiu is a bit hostile to me?"
"It must be an illusion." Gu Wenye comforted him halfheartedly. He knew in his heart that it was probably his silly brother who said that Qiu Yanping was drunk and stepped on the cat's tail, causing the cat to get angry.
Gu Wenle: “…”
Xu Qinglou had been standing in the reception hall, wandering around. When he saw someone coming, he raised his head and took two steps closer. When he saw it was Qiu Yanping, he stopped again. Only when he saw the two brothers of the Gu family following closely behind him did he quickly walk over again, "Mr. Gu! Mr. Gu!"
When Gu Wenle saw Xu Qinglou, he was stunned at first. In just one night, Xu Qinglou looked terrible.
His face was grey and yellow, with blue stubble covering most of his face. His eyes were bloodshot, his eyeballs were slightly bulging, his eye bags were dark and heavy, and around the corners of his eyes was a circle of lavender as if inflamed. His lips were chapped, and the newly formed scab on his lips broke when he spoke, allowing dark red blood to seep out.
"...Mr. Xu?" There was a hint of disbelief in Gu Wenle's words. How could a person be in such a bad state after just one night's work?
Xu Qinglou couldn't wait to ask, "Mr. Gu, what do you think about what I said last night?"
Gu Wenle laughed dryly and evaded the question, "Mr. Xu is too impatient. I still need to discuss this matter with several other directors of the company. I can't make the decision alone."
There was a hint of hostility in Xu Qinglou's eyes, which made Gu Wenle feel cold. Xu Qinglou said, "Mr. Gu, you are wasting your time..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qiu Yanping, who raised his eyelids and interrupted lazily, "Mr. Xu's way of threatening people is a little unkind, why don't I show it to Mr. Xu?"
"Who are you?" Xu Qinglou frowned. He saw this man in the General's Mansion last night. He didn't expect him to still be there so early in the morning. What is the relationship between this man and the General's Mansion?
"Does it matter who I am?" Qiu Yanping smiled falsely. He raised his chin slightly, glanced at him arrogantly and said, "If I were you, Mr. Xu, I would have been eager to fawn on you if I heard someone was willing to help. I'm almost in a difficult situation, so how could I have the energy to distract myself from irrelevant people?"
Xu Qinglou was irritated by Qiu Yanping's attitude and impolite words. Seeing this, Gu Wenle quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Mr. Qiu is an advisor hired by our Gu family."
Xu Qinglou restrained his temper a little after hearing what Gu Wenle said. His expression eased a little. The staff invited by the General's Office must be very capable. He changed the subject and said, "It turns out that Mr. Qiu is a very capable person. I was blind to his ability. So... what do you think, Mr. Qiu?"
Qiu Yanping laughed and said, "Stretch out your right hand first."
Xu Qinglou was stunned. It was the first time that such a request was made to him. He glanced at Gu Wenle. Gu Wenle obviously didn't know about this step. He looked at Qiu Yanping stupidly and didn't even notice Xu Qinglou's puzzled look.
Xu Qinglou pursed his lips and stretched out his right hand.
Qiu Yanping took a look, opened his mouth and said Xu Qinglou's birth date and asked, "Mr. Xu, am I right?"
Gu Wenle opened his mouth wide. He looked at his eldest brother, nudged him twice with his elbow, and asked in a very low voice, "What's going on? Did he check Xu Qinglou last night?"
"No." Gu Wenye replied.
"Then..." Gu Wenle was stunned. Gu Wenye raised his index finger and put it in front of his lips, signaling Gu Wenle to shut up. Gu Wenle stopped talking before continuing to ask.
"Both are correct," Xu Qinglou said. He paused and asked, "What does Mr. Qiu mean by this?"
"Just to confirm it, so as not to count the wrong person." Qiu Yanping said.
Xu Qinglou frowned. Did he calculate the wrong person?
"What does Mr. Qiu mean by this?" he asked.
Qiu Yanping said softly, "Stop making noise."
“…”
"Mr. Xu made his fortune six years ago by operating high-end technology products. Now he is worth over 100 million yuan. Everything has been smooth sailing for him." Qiu Yanping said. Xu Qinglou narrowed his eyes slightly. Hearing Qiu Yanping's compliments, he didn't have time to put on a smile when he heard the other party change the subject, "Mr. Xu, are you happy eating the human blood steamed bun?"
Xu Qinglou's face suddenly darkened. He suddenly retracted his hand and put it into his sleeve, and said coldly, "Mr. Qiu, you should think before you speak. If you spread rumors without thinking, you will go to jail."
Qiu Yanping laughed when he heard this. "Mr. Xu knows whether what I said is true or not. I would like to ask you, Mr. Xu, was the product that enabled you to build the company six years ago your own hard work?"
Xu Qinglou said in a deep voice, "If it's not mine, could it be someone else's? Mr. Qiu must have heard too many rumors outside and misunderstood something. This time I will pretend that I didn't hear it. Please be careful, Mr. Qiu." Xu Qinglou did not confront Qiu Yanping directly because Qiu Yanping was an aide invited by the General's Mansion. He changed his tone, and left with a cold face after he finished speaking, without even saying hello. He even forgot the original intention of coming here, and did not force Gu Wenle to speak for him immediately.
Qiu Yanping looked at Xu Qinglou's hurried and staggering back and sneered.
Gu Wenle swallowed and asked, "Mr. Qiu... do you know Xu Qinglou?"
"I don't know him." Qiu Yanping raised his eyebrows and asked as he walked out, "Why do you ask that?"
"Then how do you know his date of birth? And...is the 'human blood steamed bun' that Mr. Qiu mentioned real?" Gu Wenle asked hesitantly.
"I figured it out." Qiu Yanping said, "Don't you all know that he didn't start out clean? He made his fortune by stepping on others and eating human blood buns. It took him six years to get to where he is now. It seems that Xu Qinglou's ability is not that good."
Gu Wenle choked up when he heard this. He thought of what Qiu Yanping had said before, "Confirm it first, so as not to calculate the wrong person." Could this be what he was calculating? But can one figure out a person's birth date and horoscope just by looking at his hands? Can one figure out a person's past just by looking at his birth date and horoscope? This is too... ridiculous.
Gu Wenle was a little skeptical.
Qiu Yanping didn't say anything when he saw this. After all, the people in this world had never seen such mysterious things, so it was expected that they couldn't understand it and had doubts.
"Does Mr. Qiu know what the blood-soaked steamed bun is all about?" Gu Wenle couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
Qiu Yanping glanced at him with a half-smile and asked, "If I tell you, will you believe it?"
Gu Wenle coughed lightly in embarrassment. His little thoughts just now were exposed by Qiu Yanping. He really didn't know what to say. He stammered and looked at Gu Wenye for help.
Gu Wenye did not help him out. It was up to Gu Wenle himself whether to believe it or not. If he did not believe it, it would be useless to ask. It would also be disrespectful to another person. He did not agree with Gu Wenle's approach. He said, "When you can accept these things, it will not be too late to ask again."
Gu Wenle chewed on his elder brother's words and suddenly came to his senses. He looked at Gu Wenye abruptly and moved his lips. He first paid attention to Qiu Yanping and saw that Qiu Yanping had already walked out of the reception hall. Then he asked in a low voice, "What do you mean by these things? You... knew about them a long time ago?"
"Um."
"You believe it?"
"Yes." Gu Wenye replied.
Gu Wenle stared at Gu Wenye for a few seconds, then suddenly dropped his shoulders. "How did you accept this so quickly? Is it because of Qiu Yanping? Do you believe everything he says?"
#Why is my brother such a pervert and a wife slave#
Gu Wenye frowned slightly, feeling that there was something else behind Gu Wenle's words. He ignored the strange second half of the other party's words and just said, "Seeing is believing. When you see it with your own eyes, you will believe it in the future."
"...What did you see?" Gu Wenle felt a dense tingling sensation in his heart. He shuddered all over and goose bumps crawled up his arms.
Gu Wenye smiled slightly and said nothing, but this reaction made Gu Wenle even more unbearable. He jumped up like a frightened cat and ran out of the door.
"Brother! You scared me again!" Gu Wenle's frightened and dissatisfied voice could be heard outside.
Qiu Yanping didn't see Gu Wenle come in. He only saw Gu Wenye. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What was that noise just now? What did you scare him with?"
"Just tell him that he needs to see it for himself." Gu Wenye shrugged his shoulders and grinned innocently. He looked at Qiu Yanping and asked, "Xu Qinglou is in a bad condition today. Is it related to the 'human blood steamed bun' you mentioned before?"
Qiu Yanping chuckled and said, "General Gu has a good analytical ability. He found the connection so quickly?"
Gu Wenye chuckled twice, "Mr. Qiu's reminder was too obvious."
"It is indeed related, but what I don't understand is that it happened six years ago, so if it was revenge, it should have been taken long ago. Why did it have to be carried out only now?" Qiu Yanping said. He frowned slightly and subconsciously bit his index finger while thinking. "There must be some opportunity, but I haven't found it yet." Qiu Yanping talked to himself.
"Maybe Xu Qinglou himself knows better?" Gu Wenye asked.
Qiu Yanping thought about it and nodded, "Maybe." He smiled and said with a confident tone, "I think there is no need to wait until tonight. Xu Qinglou will come again. Judging from his condition this morning, it is hard to say whether he can survive after the sun sets tonight. By then, I don't need to ask him what secrets he wants to hide. He will take the initiative to confess."
Gu Wenye's mind flashed with the image of Xu Qinglou just now. He nodded slightly. He indeed looked terribly haggard.
——Even the word "haggard" is not enough to describe Xu Qinglou.
Gu Wenle didn't know what the two men talked about afterwards. He only knew that in the evening, as expected, at dinner time, Xu Qinglou came again.
Gu's father and mother had already heard about what happened this morning. When they saw Xu Qinglou coming again, they both frowned. Even if they didn't know what happened to Xu Qinglou, the fact that he had to run back and forth twice in just one day showed how urgent the matter was.
"Mr. Qiu!"
This time, when Xu Qinglou entered the house, he did not look for Gu Wenle again. He did not even have the energy to maintain a false polite appearance. He rushed directly towards Qiu Yanping and almost bumped into him. Gu Wenye frowned and quickly reached out and grabbed Xu Qinglou before Qiu Yanping could reach out.
"Mr. Xu, let's talk it over nicely." Gu Wenye said in a cold voice. He had great strength in his hands. Even when sitting in a wheelchair, he could still skillfully block and resolve the impulse of an adult man. He frowned and looked at Xu Qinglou. Xu Qinglou had disheveled hair and his clothes looked like he had put them on in a hurry and ran out. He exuded an aura of decadence and fear. If he was photographed like this by the interstellar paparazzi, he would be the headline of the financial news section the next day.
Qiu Yanping was surprised by Gu Wenye's move. He originally wanted to block it himself, but he didn't expect Gu Wenye to pull the man to an emergency stop beside him. He whispered thank you.
Gu Wenye shook his head slightly, then he let go of his hand and asked, "Why did you come this time, Mr. Xu?"
Xu Qinglou looked straight at Qiu Yanping and knelt down with a thud, "Mr. Qiu, save me, you must have a way..." As he spoke, he kowtowed heavily, making Gu Wenle's eyes widen in surprise.
The man who was so arrogant and threatening in the morning, now kneels down and kowtows after just one day?
He couldn't help but look at Qiu Yanping in surprise. How did this man do it?
Qiu Yanping looked at Xu Qinglou and said, "Save you? I thought I was only saving your company." He pulled the corners of his mouth with a fake smile, "Mr. Xu, why do you say that?"
Xu Qinglou shuddered and wiped his nose vigorously. What he was going to say next was the secret that he had tried so hard to keep secret for six years. Until this moment, he was still struggling with the conflict in his heart. He knew that once he told this, everything he had now would be ruined. But he was also afraid that if he said nothing and no one could help him, he would even lose his life.
Qiu Yanping's words that sounded like a warning in the morning sounded the alarm for him. He had kept a complete secret about what happened back then, and he was the only one alive who knew about it. But Qiu Yanping pointed it out directly. Although he didn't say it explicitly, the hint was enough to make his hair stand on end.
He knew that something strange was happening to him. If anyone could help him, Qiu Yanping, who somehow knew his secret that morning, must be the only person.
"If Mr. Xu is hiding something, then I can't help you at all." Qiu Yanping said calmly.
Xu Qinglou's heart shuddered. His career and reputation could be ruined, but he only had one life. If he lost it, he would really lose everything. Xu Qinglou gritted his teeth and said, "I want to talk to Mr. Qiu alone about this matter."
Qiu Yanping narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Xu Qinglou for a few seconds, then nodded slightly, "Okay." He glanced at Gu Wenye, who frowned and disagreed, smiled at him and said soothingly, "The closer people are to death, the more secrets they have. General Gu, can you lend me a room?"
Gu Wenye pursed his lips and said after a few seconds of silence, "Follow me."
Xu Qinglou shuddered again at Qiu Yanping's unlucky words. He was like a frightened bird and was particularly sensitive to these words.
Gu Wenle followed them, ran out and turned back, and said hurriedly to Gu's parents, "Mom and Dad, you eat first, we'll be back soon." After he said that, he ran out again in the blink of an eye.
Qiu Yanping and Xu Qinglou entered the small room, and the two brothers were left outside. After Gu Wenye whispered a word to be careful, he and Gu Wenle waited outside the door.
Gu Wenle glanced at Gu Wenye and asked, "Are we just going to wait outside like this?"
"Yeah." Gu Wenye nodded.
Gu Wenle was silent for a few seconds. It was not his nature to wait. He pursed his lips, ran to his room again, and took out a few small gadgets. Gu Wenye squinted his eyes at the gadgets. He saw that they were very familiar. They were eavesdropping devices used in their military department.
Gu Wenle coughed lightly and put the phone in Gu Wenye's hand. He quietly went around to the back of the house and threw a receiver inside. Then he tested the volume and was able to hear clearly what the two people were saying inside.
Qiu Yanping naturally noticed Gu Wenle's little movement, but Xu Qinglou, who was in a state of high tension and on the verge of collapse, did not notice that much. He rubbed his hands nervously and said in an unsteady voice, "Six years ago, my friend and I developed a product together..."
That product was what made Xu Qinglou rich later. The two of them had a dispute over the subsequent development and utilization of the product. Xu Qinglou insisted on smuggling it, while the other thought that the product should be sold to the Interstellar Military Department. Considering that the product itself had certain dangers and dynamism, private use was not the best. However, selling it to the military department meant that it was a monopoly transaction. Obviously, privatization could maximize profits.
Seeing that his friend could not be convinced and vowed that he would never let this product enter the market, Xu Qinglou, who had invested too much effort and hope in it, gritted his teeth and made a decision.
He took the design concept, sketches and finished products of the product and applied for the ownership of the product on his own. At the same time, in order to prevent his friend from complaining, he decided to go all out and used the media to portray his friend as a thief who was angry and defeated because he failed to steal the work.
Later, he successfully launched this product into the market and earned the first pot of gold to establish the company.
In the same year when the company was established, the friend who designed this product with Xu Qinglou died of depression, while Xu Qinglou became very successful.
Xu Qinglou looked at Qiu Yanping with trembling lips and said in a trembling voice, "Mr. Qiu, it was Zhuo Lin who came to find me. He wants to take revenge on me... Save me, save me!" He tightly grasped Qiu Yanping's hand, like a drowning man grasping the last straw.
