Before leaving, Du Ci gave Su Yan a business card, saying, "Call me if you need anything. If you don't mind, you can treat me like your older brother and bother me."
After saying these words, he bid farewell to Su Yu and left the private room.
Xie Jin watched Du Ci's departing figure, rubbed his chin, and pondered, "Political Commissar Su, your friend is not as simple as he seems on the surface."
Su Yu paused, then frowned and asked, "What do you mean? You know him?"
“I know him, he’s Du Ci, the young master of the Du family in Guangzhou.” Xie Jin smiled casually. “Not only do I know him, he should recognize me too.”
Xie Jin was Su Yan's senior brother, and they were all in the same boat, so Su Yu naturally didn't think he was talking nonsense.
"Is there something wrong with Du Ci?" he asked, a little uneasy.
Is Du Ci no longer the Du Ci he knew?
Can even the closest of friendships change over time?
“He has no problems with you, but his business dealings are questionable. Given your background, I suggest you stay away from him and avoid any contact to prevent him from finding fault with you.”
Xie Jin paused for a few seconds before continuing, "Of course, if he truly cares about you, he definitely won't contact you personally in the future. He'll probably have Lan Wenyu relay anything to you."
Having stayed in Guangzhou for so long, he naturally had a clear understanding of the power dynamics there.
Su Yu felt like his brain was on fire. "Explain yourself clearly, what is his business involved in?"
Xie Jin clicked his tongue, stepped forward, put his arm around his shoulder, and advised, "Brother, knowing too much won't do you any good, and you can't change anything. Why not just leave it at that? After all, you just entrusted Ayan to someone else, and at least they are sincere towards you."
Su Yu: "..."
He entrusted Ah Yan to Lan Wenyu and Du Ci precisely because of his trust in them.
Xie Jin's words only made him more worried.
There are always two little people fighting inside my head.
The left side suggested that he should believe that if Du Ci were a bad person, he wouldn't have sent him to the hospital and tried so hard to treat him.
The person on the right told him not to trust people too much, especially since Su Yan was his own sister. If something bad happened to her, he would have nowhere to turn to for regret.
...
at the same time.
Inside a black sedan driving on the road.
Lan Wenyu, who was originally drunk, was now sitting in the back row.
Aside from the smell of alcohol on him, there were no other signs that he was drunk.
"Brother Du Ci, is the Xie Jin who came tonight the same Xie Jin we know?" he asked uneasily.
Du Ci, who was sitting next to him with her eyes closed, gave a faint "hmm" upon hearing this.
"Then he must have recognized you. Do you think he'll talk nonsense in front of Brother Yu?"
Lan Wenyu pretended to be drunk because of Xie Jin.
The more he looked at Xie Jin, the more he felt that he was the doctor who worked for Sixth Master He Xiuyun.
He pretended to be drunk to end the dinner party in order to confirm his idea.
The reason he was so wary of Xie Jin was because the Du and Lan families and Sixth Master were two opposing forces, and recently they had been fighting fiercely with Sixth Master's side over business matters.
“Xie Jin is Xie Jin, and Sixth Master He is Sixth Master He.” Du Ci slowly opened her eyes. “Xie Jin never gets involved in Sixth Master He’s affairs. As for whether he will say anything to Brother Yu, it doesn’t matter. Brother Yu’s identity is sensitive, and it would be detrimental for him if I contacted him. From now on, you will be responsible for contacting Brother Yu.”
In order to seize power quickly, he did many things he shouldn't have done, and Lan Wenyu knew about it.
He always treated Lan Wenyu like a younger brother, and he would take him along on his clean business dealings.
But he never allowed himself to get involved in those things that he shouldn't touch.
Therefore, Lan Wenyu is clean, and there is no problem with him contacting Brother Yu.
As for Brother Yu, if Xie Jin had told him something, he could more or less guess how disappointed he was in him.
Lan Wenyu was extremely frustrated.
"What a twist of fate! Xie Jin is actually Yu Ge's sister's senior brother. So they're in the same boat."
No matter what, they must protect Brother Yu's sister, otherwise they would be letting down this friendship.
"Alright, Xie Jin might not even bother with this, why are you in such a hurry?"
Lan Wenyu thought for a moment, "Brother Du Ci, didn't you want to expand your business in Beijing? How about we..."
"No way." Du Ci refused without even thinking. "I'll think of another way."
"All right."
It's a bit of a pity about Lan Wenyu.
If you want to expand your business in Beijing, Brother Yu is such a great option.
He felt that Du Ci was being a bit too cautious.
...
After Xie Jin escorted Su Yan back to her apartment, he and Su Yu checked into a nearby hotel for the night.
Su Yu couldn't fall asleep no matter what he did. He glanced at the person in the next bed, and before he could speak, Xie Jin said first, "I know what you want to ask, why won't you listen? Why are you so curious?"
Su Yu was torn between having something to say and not saying anything.
After hesitating for a while, he said, "Fine, I won't ask. But I can at least ask about Ayan's safety, right?"
Xie Jin glanced at him, then looked away and calmly said, "With me in Guangzhou, what are you panicking about?"
If he had known that Su Yu was meeting those two people, he would have definitely stopped him.
Tsk, you're usually so talkative, why didn't you ask clearly today?
Su Yu: "Okay, I'll leave Ayan to you."
Xie Jin ignored him, turned around, turned off the light, and went to sleep.
the next day.
Su Yu's train was in the afternoon, so he had plenty of time.
After getting up and having breakfast, the three of them went to the restaurant.
Feng Caixia, Tang Li, and the others were already waiting for them there.
When they were almost at their destination, Su Yan received a call from Jiang Jingxing.
As soon as the call connected, a resentful question came through: "How long have you been in Beijing? Why didn't you call me?"
Su Yan slapped her forehead and quickly said, "I'm sorry, Jingxing, I completely forgot about it yesterday."
She remembered to call Jiang Jingxing the night before, but she didn't expect to be so forgetful.
Jiang Jingxing could only sigh inwardly.
Sure enough, once his girlfriend started her own business, he was completely forgotten about her.
Where are you now?
"My brother, my senior brother, and I are almost at the restaurant. Uncle Tang and the others are waiting for us."
Jiang Jingxing checked the time; it was a little past eight. "Then you go ahead and get busy. Call me when you're done."
Su Yan replied guiltily, "I know."
After hanging up the phone, Xie Jin joked, "What do you call this? One thing subdues another."
Su Yu glared at him.
He clicked his tongue, "Even if you glare at me, I still have to tell the truth. Didn't you see how your sister talked to Jiang Tuan? She was like a little white rabbit, completely manipulated by that pig's trotter, wasn't she?"
Su Yan's face instantly turned bright red. Seeing Su Yu's increasingly dangerous expression, she hurriedly said, "Senior Brother!"
For the first time, she wanted to shut Xie Jin up completely!
"Alright, alright, I won't say anything more, lest you get scolded by someone. Your senior brother cares about you."
Su Yu: Just say my name, I understand.
Su Yan: Hehe, you really care about me!
