Chapter 1220 What a good excuse, a good reason.
Gu Yan walked out of the darkness, stood under the bright light, looked at Leng Ruxue, and said, "Unfortunately, I heard it."
If she had to choose someone from the Poison Scorpion group, Leng Ruxue least wanted Gu Yan to be the one to know.
Gu Yan looks good, but when he puts on a cold face, he looks particularly fierce.
In addition, Ling Fei said everywhere that he drank human blood, so everyone was a little afraid of him.
People walked out in scattered groups, and Leng Ruxue stood there with a smile. There was no sign of embarrassment at being exposed on her face. She was very calm throughout the whole process. She even turned off the lights and closed the door after everyone left.
"Don't you think you need to give me an explanation?" Gu Yan followed Leng Ruxue's footsteps and walked out.
Leng Ruxue pulled down the rolled-up sleeves on her arms and asked, "What do you want to explain?"
Gu Yan: "Just now, why did you say not to let Poison Scorpion know?"
Leng Ruxue smiled and said softly, "My affairs have nothing to do with the Poison Scorpion, right?"
The Scorpion does have regulations to protect family members, but she is no longer one of them.
Gu Yan: “…”
"I know it was my father who found Sister Bianzhi. Sorry to bother you. Thank you." He said it lightly, with the perfunctory tone of someone he didn't know well.
Leng Ruxue looked at Gu Yan's shocked expression and smiled. "Don't worry, I'm not hiding anything from you. I just don't want to trouble you. The institute will take this matter very seriously and will send someone over. My father and Uncle Huo will also bring people over. Don't worry about safety."
"Nonsense!" Gu Yan was a little angry. "Are you treating me like a three-year-old? If your institute was capable, you wouldn't ask your dad for help. Your dad can still handle it. Why not ask the boss?"
"I didn't pay attention at the time, it will be fine in the future, don't worry about it, go back early."
Gu Yan narrowed his eyes and stopped following the man's pace. "What do you mean? Draw a clear line between you and me."
Leng Ruxue was a little tired today, and it was already quite impressive that she had managed to maintain her smile until now. She tried hard not to lose face and to maintain the last bit of dignity.
But Gu Yan refused.
"We don't seem to be related anymore, right?" Leng Ruxue finally stopped walking, her voice still soft, "Gu Yan, we are divorced."
"Besides, I remember that I also gave you the wedding candy that Ling Fei and I had."
"As my ex-husband, I don't think you have the right to question any of my decisions."
"I'm very grateful that you came today, but I think that since we've separated, there's no need to be involved. What do you think?"
Gu Yan couldn't be more sad. He stared into Leng Ruxue's eyes, and the latter didn't shy away from him. "Are you saying that I came to the wrong place?"
Her eyes hurt a little, Leng Ruxue raised her hand to rub them, and after blinking, there was a large red spot under her eyes.
"I didn't say you came to the wrong place, I just said... forget it, go back and rest early."
"No!" Gu Yan gritted his teeth, "Explain yourself clearly! Just now, why did everyone say they wanted to leave, but no one asked you?"
Leng Ruxue answered the question, "Because I am the person in charge of this project. If I leave, this project will fail."
Gu Yan was stunned. "What are you researching?"
Leng Ruxue: "It's confidential. I can't tell you."
Gu Yan nodded, "But it's such a dangerous place, are you sure you want to stay for a project that everyone thinks is not good?" Before Gu Yan came, he was anxious and was looking forward to meeting the person. Now that he saw him, he was only left with anger.
He had never thought that Leng Ruxue was so stubborn.
Everyone has to leave. They are not poisonous scorpions, there is no faith here, and everyone has only one life.
"How do you know I have no faith?" Leng Ruxue looked at Gu Yan, her expression was very serious, "Gu Yan, I'm not a child anymore, I'm in my twenties. You always treat me like a child, but I'm not anymore. I'm still afraid and I cry, but that doesn't stop me from being an adult. I have my own thoughts.
I won't be sad for too long after parting with you. I've said it many times, I have my own things to do. I'm not at the age where I go home crying after not getting what I want. I can take responsibility for my own actions."
"Didn't you insist on divorcing me and drawing a clear line between us?"
"Now, everything is as you wish, and I am not depressed. What are you unhappy about?"
This is what is so scary about people who do scientific research.
The phrase "times have changed" can be used to the fullest extent by them. They can make you feel rationally that every word this person says is telling you: "Yes, I don't love you anymore. From the moment I decided to leave, I no longer have any regrets."
Leng Ruxue opened the door and whispered to Gu Yan, "Since we're separated, we should never see each other again. That was the mindset I had when I signed the divorce agreement."
The door closed softly in front of Gu Yan.
Never see again.
So, no matter who I meet or what happens in the future, it has nothing to do with you.
(
I thank you for coming, but actually, you don't have to come.
In an instant, Gu Yan understood all of Leng Ruxue's hidden meanings.
Really――
Gu Yan lowered his head and laughed at himself.
So cruel.
Gu Yan suddenly understood what Bian Zhi had said: What do you think of Leng Ruxue? He is Dr. Leng, not a love-brained person.
Dr. Leng.
Gu Yan sighed softly and learned his lesson.
Because of this dangerous incident, the institute made the decision very quickly.
Everyone go back.
Including Leng Ruxue.
When Gu Yan found out, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt much better when he went out.
Look at this girl, she's still stubborn.
He planned to arrange a plane for them to return directly. As for Ling Fei, it would take a while longer for him to return. There was something wrong with this guy.
Everything here was planned out. As soon as he stood on the balcony, he saw Leng Ruxue talking on her cell phone in a street alley.
He pursed his lips, and as if possessed, he took the hat and put it on. After pressing the button, he quickly went downstairs.
During this time, he quickly sent a message to Bian Zhi.
[Boss, can you help me check what project Leng Ruxue and the others are researching in North Africa?]
He stood by the wall at the corner of the alley and heard Leng Ruxue talking on the phone to a professor in their school.
Her voice was always soft, but because her pronunciation was clear and melodious, it did not prevent Gu Yan from hearing it clearly.
"Boss, I won't leave. You know I came back to the institute for this reason."
"No, now that I'm here, I can't put this project aside."
"You know, I'm very anxious and I'm looking forward to the results of this project."
"I'm not in a rush. I'm generally familiar with the environment here, and I'll be careful. If the research institute can't send anyone over, I can ask my family to send someone over for protection."
The person on the other end of the phone seemed a little angry, and a grumpy voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Leng Ruxue, I don't care what your reasons are. Since you are now in my research institute, you have to listen to me. I told you it's too dangerous over there. You don't know how many times the research institute has tried to get you out during the time you've been imprisoned, but even so, they still couldn't get you out. Aren't you afraid?"
Leng Ruxue put her hands on her hips and said, "I'm not afraid, Boss. No matter what you say, I won't give up this project. If you're absolutely against it, I can leave the institute. I'll buy my own equipment, build my own team, and do my own research!"
"You! Are you trying to piss me off to death?" Gu Yan had seen the boss Leng Ruxue mentioned before. He was a grumpy middle-aged man with a bald head and a beer belly. He was also the boss of the research institute. Because of his outstanding abilities and well-known eccentric temper, no one in the academic community dared to provoke him.
Leng Ruxue is highly valued by this big boss, but that doesn't stop him from cursing at people when he gets angry. In the past, when Leng Ruxue was scolded, she would lower her head and wipe away her tears, but now, she dares to confront others.
I have indeed grown up.
Gu Yan became more and more curious about what this research was that made Leng Ruxue so persistent.
Gu Yan looked down and saw that Bian Zhi had not replied to the message yet.
"Boss, I'm telling you rationally that I returned to the institute for this. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone back in the first place. You know me—" Leng Ruxue paused. "I've invested so much in this research. I won't give up. I'm not kidding. If the institute is afraid of taking risks, then I'll do it myself. I'll send my resignation letter to your email address later."
The person on the other end was furious and said, "Are you trying to rebel?" and hung up the phone.
Leng Ruxue was also annoyed. It was a rare occasion for her to lose her temper. As soon as she turned around, she saw Gu Yan standing behind her. She didn't know how long he had been listening.
She was in no mood to greet him now. Leng Ruxue walked away and Gu Yan didn't stop her.
Bian Zhi's message came five minutes later.
Just three words: [Cannot check.]
Gu Yan was puzzled.
Just call directly.
"Boss, did you send the wrong message? I said I wanted to know what project Leng Ruxue is working on now."
"Why do you say we can't check?"
"Yes, it's for you."
Gu Yan was confused and asked, "Why can't we check? Aren't you known as the Nun Miejue of the Intelligence Bureau? Isn't there anything you don't know?"
"Because I made a promise to Leng Ruxue."
"What's the meaning?"
"Before Leng Ruxue left, she came to me once and asked me to give her a divorce gift. The content of the gift was that no matter what the circumstances, I was not allowed to investigate her."
'You agree?'
"Yeah, it's a divorce gift, so you should agree to it."
Gu Yan was very depressed. After a few seconds, he suddenly said, "Hey!" "That's not right."
"What's wrong?"
"Then you investigated Ling Fei before?"
Bian Zhi laughed out loud. She simply wanted to gossip, but she didn't admit it. She said, "I'm investigating Ling Fei, not Leng Ruxue."
Gu Yan: “…” What a good excuse, a good reason.
The people of Poison Scorpion were all quick-witted, so Gu Yan said, "Okay, then, Boss, I won't investigate Leng Ruxue anymore. Can you help me find out what the research projects of the doctoral students of the most authoritative DHNC professor in North American universities are about in North Africa?"
Bian Zhi laughed and said, "Okay."
