Chapter 125 Why is it you?
In the early morning of the third day, a gray morning mist enveloped the base.
Wu Yingzhou stood in front of Yan Chu's door, hesitated for a moment, and then raised his hand and knocked on the door.
The door opened and Gu Qinyuan stood inside, his figure tall and slender, the sleeves of his black shirt casually rolled up.
He lowered his eyes to look at Wu Yingzhou, his voice low and cold: "Yan Chu hasn't woken up yet."
Wu Yingzhou subconsciously glanced into the room, then smiled awkwardly and lowered his voice, "Can you help wake her up? It's a bit urgent..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Qinyuan looked at him with a cold look.
Those eyes were as dark as ink, bottomless, like an ice-hardened blade, making Wu Yingzhou feel a chill on the back of his neck and his throat tighten unconsciously.
Gu Qinyuan didn't move, but just raised his eyes slightly. The cold light above his head cast a shadow on his outline, making his brow bones darker and his eyes colder.
"Let them wait."
His tone was neither light nor heavy, but Wu Yingzhou felt an invisible sense of oppression pressing down on him.
"But, but..." Wu Yingzhou had to bite the bullet and say, "They were sent by the higher-ups..."
Gu Qinyuan curled the corner of his mouth, a hint of disdain appearing in his eyes.
He slowly adjusted his cuffs, buttoning them with his slender fingers. His movements were elegant, yet seemed to carry a certain dangerous meaning.
Wu Yingzhou's heart tightened and he unconsciously took half a step back.
He swallowed and continued, "It's not a good idea to leave them hanging there..."
Gu Qinyuan raised his eyes, his gaze sharp and cold: "I said, let them wait."
He paused, his voice low and he spoke word by word, "Or do you want me to repeat it a third time?"
Wu Yingzhou immediately shut his mouth.
Although he had little interaction with Gu Qinyuan, he knew this man's temper very well.
He has always been indifferent to other things, but once it involves Yan Chu, even if it just might disturb her rest, it will touch his reverse scale.
As a result, we waited for more than an hour, until it was bright and the sun rose.
Fortunately, Yan Chu finally woke up.
When she was about to brush her teeth in a daze, she caught a glimpse of Wu Yingzhou standing at the door, looking at her anxiously.
"Captain Wu?" Yan Chu stopped, a little surprised. "Why so early?"
Wu Yingzhou glanced at Gu Qinyuan and gave a dry laugh.
It was getting late and he had been waiting for over an hour.
"Yan Chu, um, Inspector Guo and his men are already waiting for you in the conference room." Wu Yingzhou said.
Inspector Guo?
Oh, it must be Guo Chao who brought a group of people to cause trouble for her last time.
"You came later than I thought," Yan Chu said expressionlessly, "How many people did you bring this time?"
Wu Yingzhou coughed and said, "Inspector Guo only brought one person with him this time."
"Got it, let them wait," Yan Chu turned and went into the bathroom, "I'll be there soon."
Wu Yingzhou: “???”
Still waiting?
He no longer dared to imagine the expressions of those people waiting in the conference room.
The atmosphere in the conference room was so stagnant that it was almost oppressive.
Guo Chao stood up again, loosened his tie anxiously, and paced back and forth from one end of the conference table to the other.
The hands on the watch have turned countless times, but Yan Chu is still nowhere to be seen.
He gritted his teeth and tapped his knuckles on the table.
No one had ever dared to make him wait so long! Never!
After walking around again, Guo Chao suppressed his anger, pulled out a chair and sat down. He stared at the empty seat opposite him, and the veins on his forehead throbbed slightly.
What on earth was Yan Chu thinking? Did he really not take his superiors seriously at all?
"Okay, be quiet."
The young man's lazy voice suddenly sounded beside him.
The black-haired boy leaned against the window without even raising his eyelids: "It's so noisy."
Guo Chao: “……?”
No, he didn't say a word!
At this moment, Guo Chao suddenly remembered what the boy's special ability was, and the expression on his face became a little stiff for a moment.
He silently pulled out a chair and sat down, then asked, half in a conversational, half in a tentative way, "How far can you hear with your special ability?"
The boy raised an eyebrow, his gray eyes showing a hint of interest: "Guess?"
Guo Chao: “…”
When the higher-ups arranged for this young man to assist him, they told him that this person's special ability was to read minds.
It was repeatedly emphasized that this ability was critical and he must be brought along.
But Guo Chao didn't like this person at all.
Not only is his mood swings and bad temper, but he also occasionally reveals a creepy smile.
I'm afraid he's become a psychopath because he's listened to his inner voice too much.
The young man stared at him, his lips curled up suddenly: "I heard it."
Guo Chao: “…”
Just then, the door of the conference room clicked, and Yan Chu walked in from outside, followed by Wu Yingzhou with a nervous look on his face.
The long three-hour wait had exhausted Guo Chao's patience. The moment he saw Yan Chu, the anger he had just suppressed burst out again.
But he didn't dare show it. Guo Chao pulled up the corners of his mouth and showed a standard formula smile:
"Miss Yan, you are finally here."
Yan Chu hummed lightly, his eyes swept over Guo Chao, and he paused when he saw the figure beside him.
"Why is it you?"
Guo Chao was stunned and quickly explained: "Ms. Yan, it's like this. The higher-ups think that you and I have dealt with each other before and are relatively familiar with each other, so they think it's more appropriate to send me..."
Before he could finish his words, Guo Chao realized that Yan Chu's eyes were not looking at him.
He frowned and followed her gaze.
The person Yan Chu was looking at was actually the black-haired boy.
The black-haired boy stood up, his gray eyes curved into crescents: "Sister, we meet again."
Guo Chao: “?”
These two people actually know each other?
After both parties sat down, Guo Chao introduced himself to Yan Chu: "I don't need to introduce myself. The person on my left is Ling Ziyue."
Yan Chu couldn't help but look at Ling Ziyue twice more.
They met by chance in Oasis Town at that time. After removing the illusion power that shrouded Oasis Town, Yan Chu and the others hurried away.
She never expected that Ling Ziyue would appear here on behalf of the country.
After all, he really doesn't look like a decent person.
Guo Chao narrowed his eyes slightly and observed Yan Chu's expression changes calmly.
His fingers tapped lightly on the table, and he wondered in his heart, how familiar are Yan Chu and Ling Ziyue?
By the way, does she know that Ling Ziyue’s special ability is mind reading?
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, Ling Ziyue's cold voice suddenly rang out.
"Sister, my special ability is to read minds."
The young man had a faint smile on his lips, playing with the teacup on the table with one hand, and his tone was so light as if he was talking about today's weather.
Guo Chao's pupils suddenly contracted and he turned his head to look at Ling Ziyue.
He saw the other person looking back at him with a half-smile on his face, a teasing glint in his grey eyes, and the slightly raised corners of his lips clearly held a hint of provocation.
Guo Chao understood instantly that this guy did it on purpose!
