"Like you?"
Yan Yirou's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands, saying, "You hired your bodyguards in Changteng City, right? Can you find me four? Money is no problem!"
"It's a small matter," Shangguan Wu replied. "I'll have Du Wei keep an eye out for you."
"Thank you," Yan Yirou said. "It has to be something really tough. The security captain at my house is one of my second uncle's men."
There was no need to say anything else; she believed Shangguan Wu understood.
Shangguan Wu understood, of course, because there used to be a Shangguan Xiong in her family, but now she didn't need to worry about that anymore. She was more curious about something else.
"You should have Third Brother's number, right? Why go through all that trouble?"
"I can't tell him this myself, so why should I say it to him?"
Yan Yirou rolled her eyes, raised her hand, and said in a high-pitched voice, "Hey, Gu Chenye, let me tell you, your brother tricked me, so I'm using you as a shield. Whether you agree or not, you can't give yourself away, understand?"
Shangguan Wu: "..."
That's it, there's no hope.
Yan Yirou's lips twitched: "What kind of expression is that?"
Shangguan Wu forced a smile and said speechlessly, "Weren't you quite the smooth talker when you asked me to take you to Hakuin Village?"
Yan Yirou was stunned for a moment: "I don't act cute with men!"
Shangguan Wu was dumbfounded, and then Yan Yirou said, "What if he thinks I'm interested in him?"
"That's fine, say what you want."
Shangguan Wu was defeated by her.
But Yan Yirou didn't want to find Gu Chenye, so she acted spoiled and said, "I don't care, this is trouble caused by your husband. If he hadn't sent someone to look for me, would I have just suddenly found a boyfriend?"
Shangguan Wu rubbed her forehead and asked, "What did you and my husband say?"
Yan Yirou glared at her: "He's in a meeting. Gu Shiyi said he'd call me after it was over, but I haven't received a call from him yet!"
Shangguan Wu considered the time difference and frowned slightly: "What time did Du Wei come to see you?"
"It's past three in the morning!" Yan Yirou looked at her with resentment.
Shangguan Wu was getting a little overwhelmed and avoided her gaze, saying, "I'll talk to him when he gets back."
"Was it just talk?" Yan Yirou thought that although it wouldn't warrant a beating, she would at least get a scolding. It turned out that she was overthinking it.
Shangguan Wu raised an eyebrow: "So you still want to do this?"
"I don't want anything."
Yan Yirou immediately backed down.
Shangguan Wu said helplessly, "Can I talk to Third Brother about it later? I'll invite you to dinner when my husband comes back."
"No need, there's no need."
Yan Yirou waved her hand, refusing twice: "I'm afraid I won't be able to eat."
Shangguan Wu reminded her, "Don't mention my husband next time, or you can hire a bodyguard and talk to Third Brother yourself."
Are they really that protective of the male lead?
Yan Yirou gave her a thumbs up: "...You won!"
"Alright, if you think of any other villains, remember to contact me anytime. I'm heading back now." Shangguan Wu picked up her bag, stood up, and left.
Yan Yirou asked her, "It's lunchtime, do you want to have lunch together?"
"You can order takeout yourself."
Shangguan Wu planned to buy some pastries to eat on the way and try to get back before dark.
Yan Yirou had no choice but to send her out of the pharmacy.
After getting into the car, Shangguan Wu instructed Du Wei, "Go to the military region."
"Yes, Miss."
Although Du Wei was surprised that so much time had passed, he only needed to follow orders.
Shangguan Wu asked, "Du Wei, where did you go last night?"
Her tone was as if she were just saying it casually.
But Du Wei knew that Miss Yan never talked nonsense to them, and she had just chatted with Miss Yan alone for an hour and a half.
"Last night, Eleven asked me to do him a favor."
Du Wei replied cautiously, "I didn't expect to be asked to go see Miss Yan. I had already agreed, and since I couldn't contact Eleven for a while, I went to the Yan family and met Miss Yan."
Du Jian, sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly turned his head. His brother had actually gone out last night? And even met Miss Yan?
At this moment, Shangguan Wu asked in a nonchalant tone, "And then?"
Du Wei downplayed the issue, saying, "Then I was discovered by the Yan family's security team, so I left the Yan family. They didn't see me, so they definitely didn't know who I was."
Shangguan Wu chuckled lightly: "Hehe, you seem quite happy. Is that all?"
"At once……"
Du Wei had only uttered one word when Shangguan Wu reminded him, "Think carefully before you answer. You know I can hypnotize people."
Upon hearing this, Du Wei could only say to himself: I'm sorry, brother.
"Excuse me, miss, may I repeat myself?"
"Speak."
Du Wei explained in detail: "It's like this. Last night I received a call from Eleven. He said he had an urgent matter to discuss with Miss Yan and asked me to go to the Yan family overnight. I knew the timing was wrong, so I took some tools, climbed over the wall into the Yan family's house, and then climbed up the wall to Miss Yan's window and pried open the window to get into the room."
At this point, Du Wei said somewhat embarrassedly, "I will compensate Miss Yan for the broken window."
Du Jian secretly gave his brother a thumbs up: Big brother, you're really something, you actually dared to break into a woman's window!
If the Yan family's security guards were more capable, his older brother would probably have been caught, beaten up, and thrown into the police station.
Du Jian was wondering if he should tell his mother that it was time to consider his older brother's marriage.
Shangguan Wu asked in a calm voice, "And then?"
Du Wei, unaware that she was about to be pressured to get married, continued, "After I went in and woke Miss Yan up, I called Eleven. As soon as the call connected, I heard someone knocking on the door. I gave my phone to Miss Yan, and she told me to hide in her walk-in closet. I don't know what they said, but when I came out, Miss Yan gave my phone back and told me to leave."
Shangguan Wu hit the nail on the head: "So you made a wasted trip last night and left people with a mess?"
"What a mess?" Du Wei had a bad feeling.
Shangguan Wu said, "The security captain of the Yan family found your footprints. Now the Yan family knows that Yan Yirou's boyfriend went to see her last night."
Du Wei was so startled she almost slammed on the brakes!
"Miss, no, I didn't, I'm sure they didn't see me," Du Wei explained urgently.
"This isn't a matter of whether you saw it or not."
Shangguan Wu carefully analyzed with him: "They found your footprints, which were clearly men's footprints. It's a fact that you were in Yan Yirou's room, and it's also a fact that Yan Yirou wouldn't let the security captain in in order to protect you."
The Yan family wanted to marry Yan Yirou to Ji Xianli, but Yan Yirou didn't want to. She asked me for help, so I asked my third brother to help her out. She came to the Gu family to visit on New Year's Eve, which was a way of showing her attitude.
This time, she told the Yan family that her boyfriend, her third brother, had come to see her. Only in this way would the Yan family not force her to marry Ji Xianli. After all, the power of the Gu family in the north and the Ji family in the south was considerable, and the Yan family would not dare to offend the Gu family.
So you didn't go to the Yan family last night; it was your third brother who went. Do you understand?
"I understand!" Du Wei understood almost instantly, and he breathed a huge sigh of relief: "Thank you, Miss."
Shangguan Wu was quite surprised by his quick reply: "Du Wei, don't you want to be in a relationship?"
