No sooner had Zhou Chunhua left than Gu Yao took out his phone and made a call.
A short while later, the call was connected.
A voice came from the other end: "Teacher Gu, the person has been released on bail."
"Okay. Just give him what I asked you to prepare; he knows what to do."
"Okay, Teacher Gu."
After Gu Yao hummed in agreement, he asked, "How's the investigation going in Haizhou?"
The person on the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent.
After a long pause, he stammered, "Teacher Gu, based on what we've found so far... it's very clean. However, they've gone through it all again and plan to investigate carefully from the beginning."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yao raised his eyebrows.
He pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses.
clean?
Ha! How could someone who is filthy to the core possibly be clean?
All I can say is that the direction they were investigating... was problematic.
"Haizhou, Noah's Bay Hillside Villa 26A. Have them investigate from here. Find out who owns the property, the relationship between the property owner and Qiao Nan, and then investigate carefully, focusing on the property owner. Be quick."
"Yes. I'll inform them right away."
Gu Yao hung up the phone, just as his phone beeped with a message notification.
It shows that the message was sent from Tai'an.
When you click on it, there are only a few very simple words.
[She Yalan entered the country early this morning.]
Gu Yao's relaxed brows furrowed instantly.
Although he guessed that the She family couldn't ignore Wang Lin's imprisonment.
But no one expected that She Yalan would enter the country at such a sensitive time.
Were they here for Wang Lin?
Okay. I understand. (Sent)
Just three seconds later, the phone rang.
Gu Yao glanced at the two children playing with clay on the sofa, then got up, supporting his wound, and went to the balcony.
Upon answering the call, a roar like a dragon's cry came from the other end of the phone.
"Ah Yao! What do you mean 'good'? What, you know? She Yalan has entered the country! Don't you know why this crazy woman came?"
Gu Yao frowned and moved the phone away from his ear.
After Tai'an finished roaring, he leaned back to his ear and said, "If you can't get up in the morning, don't force yourself."
"You... Ah Yao! What exactly do you want? Can you just tell me directly? Do you know how close I got to my heart when I received She Yalan's call yesterday?"
"Oh? Why did she call you?" Gu Yao asked.
Qin An snorted and replied, "What else could she be doing? It's all because of your live stream! Her husband got into trouble with you, so of course she's here to stand up for him! She wanted to arrange a meeting with you through me, which shows that this crazy woman investigated us before she came!"
No matter how I think about it, I feel like she came prepared. Ah Yao, what are you really thinking? The She family is now one of the four major families in Southeast Asia. Even if I force the old man to use all his family's wealth, I don't have a sure chance of taking down the She family.
Unless…you're planning to go home? But…if you go home, you and your "white moonlight" are truly over. Can your house full of old fogies accept your "white moonlight" who has nothing to offer?
“I have no plans to go back,” Gu Yao said.
"Then... could it be that you want to take down the She family all by yourself? Ah Yao, are you crazy?!" Tai'an completely broke down.
Gu Yao didn't reply, but instead said, "Don't worry about that."
"Fine, fine, I'm too lazy to care anymore! If you ask me, you're a total love-struck fool! For that woman, you, you, you..." Tai'an was so angry that he couldn't even speak.
After hesitating for a while, he finally asked impatiently, "So, are you going to see She Yalan or not? Ah Yao, can't you listen to my opinion this time?"
"Tell me about it."
"I think you should meet with She Yalan. Since she's come in person, she must be sincere. The people you've helped just want people."
"You could just make that demand directly, ask her to send the person back, and that would be the end of it." Tai'an's tone was much calmer.
"What about those who died?" Gu Yao asked.
Suddenly, the other end of the phone went silent, so quiet that you couldn't hear a breathing sound unless you listened carefully.
After a while, Tai'an's voice came again.
"They're already dead, what else can be done? Even if Wang Lin is sentenced to death, they still won't come back to life, right? Ah Yao, on the surface, this seems to be just Wang Lin's problem."
But in reality, it is the four major families of Southeast Asia who are involved! The fact that She Yalan will personally enter the country is enough to show that they have already met, reached an agreement on this matter, and are on the same side!
Therefore, this matter may seem to involve only the She family, but in reality, it involves all four families! Ah Yao, the fact that they can engage in this kind of business is enough to show that they not only have no bottom line, but also no humanity!
I'm worried that if you and She Yalan can't reach an agreement, they will... they will... they will...
"Will they bring us over too?"
After Gu Yao said that, Tai'an immediately fell silent.
In such situations, silence is tantamount to consent.
After a long silence, just as Gu Yao was about to end the call, Tai An's voice rang out again: "It seems you've already considered this possibility."
I presume you've already made your decision. Fine! Don't worry, even if I have to risk the entire Tai family, I will never let them get rid of you.
They'll only get to you if they step over my dead body.
Tai'an's voice suddenly became nasal: "Ayao, go for it! I'll get to the arrangements right away. I can't take on four people at once, but I can manage one for one."
Alright, that's enough said. In this life, you're my older brother; in the next, let's still be brothers.
"Atai," Gu Yao said, "Listen to me, don't do anything. Don't ask, don't care, don't interfere. Your old man owes you, but he doesn't owe me, understand?"
However, having you as a brother is my good fortune. Don't worry, since they came prepared, they should know that my blood is something they can't afford to touch, nor dare to touch. So, what you're worried about won't happen.
Don't worry! You know I never fight a battle I'm not confident I can win. Since I dared to broadcast the arrest of Wang Lin live, I'm confident I can take them all down. Just relax and don't worry.
"But……"
"No buts. Alright, now that She Yalan has entered the country, I should prepare a good feast for her to welcome her back. I'm hanging up now, I still have a lot to do here."
After saying that, Gu Yao hung up the phone before Tai'an could say anything more.
However, even Gu Yao didn't notice how bright his smile was at that moment.
Meanwhile, on the other end of the phone, Tai'an, completely naked, sat up after lifting the covers.
The smart home assistant immediately opened the curtains.
He took out a cigarette, lit it, and the wisps of smoke swirled between his fingers.
Although he knew Gu Yao's way of doing things, he was still uneasy.
After thinking for a moment, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.
