Chapter 684 Gathering Together
After returning from abroad, Lin Yilan inexplicably felt that there was an invisible and intangible mist between her and her third senior brother.
She wanted to push away the mist, but now she seemed to be trapped in it.
What kind of thing had happened that would make Taohua J hide it from even her? Could it be that he really had some unavoidable reason?
Huo Juncheng was also nervous, but the two of them had a tacit understanding and no one spoke. The car was dead silent.
Finally arriving at the company, Huo Juncheng dragged Lin Yilan to Yan Xing's office. Before they even walked in, they heard Yan Xing's laughter. Puzzled, they pushed open the door and saw that the room was not as tense as they had imagined. The two of them were sitting together, sympathizing with each other and laughing heartily.
Huo Juncheng and Lin Yilan looked at each other. What on earth was going on? It seemed different from what they imagined.
"Why are you two here?" Yan Xing let go of Taohua J, put down the things in his hand, and looked confused.
Huo Juncheng felt very tired and didn't want to say anything. He waved his hand gently and pulled Lin Yilan to sit on the other side of the sofa.
Yan Xing had no idea what Huo Juncheng and Lin Yilan had been going through, and she smiled as she served them tea and water.
"I really didn't expect that the person I invited would be Senior Taohua J." Yan Xinglian's voice was filled with undisguised joy.
When he came in front of Taohua J, Yan Xing laughed even harder, calling him "senior" all the time, very cordially.
Huo Juncheng looked at Lin Yilan helplessly. This kid couldn't speak clearly when talking on the phone. He made them worry for so long in vain. God knows what was going on in his mind when he drove over just now.
Seeing Huo Juncheng's helpless expression, Lin Yilan couldn't help but laugh, and whispered in Huo Juncheng's ear, "I told you that you were worrying too much."
This sentence was not only said to Huo Juncheng, but also to herself. On the way here, she had been thinking, if Taohua J really had some problems, then what should she do.
God knows how many situations she had imagined in her mind when she first arrived.
Fortunately, it was all just their overthinking.
"Haha." Taohua J smiled and took the tea from Yan Xing's hand. Seeing Lin Yilan and Huo Juncheng coming over, she asked, "Have you two eaten yet?"
Huo Juncheng replied, "I have eaten."
"This is your fault." Taohua J pretended to be angry, and the expression on his face suddenly turned cold.
"Ah?" Lin Yilan was confused, not understanding why Taohua J suddenly said that.
Today's Peach Blossom J is indeed becoming more and more weird, and is very different from before.
"Look, you two have already eaten. I have been busy at the company since I came back in the afternoon. It's already this late. Shouldn't you show some appreciation?" Taohua J smiled cunningly.
"Of course." Huo Juncheng replied.
Lin Yilan snorted and said to Taohua J, "You are still the same."
"What? Are you worried that I will take the opportunity to rip you off?" Taohua J asked back, speaking in a somewhat nonsensical manner.
"Okay, tell me what you want to eat quickly. If you go too late, it may be gone." Lin Yilan said to Taohua J with a helpless expression on her face.
Her third senior brother is always like this. When he is serious, he is very shocking, but when he is casual, no one can match him.
"Okay, it's a rare occasion that my sister and brother-in-law treat us, so we have to eat something good. How about Australian crayfish?" Taohua J looked at the expressions of Huo Juncheng and Lin Yilan.
Huo Juncheng naturally agreed immediately. Yan Xing happily interrupted and said, "How about you, senior? I'll go buy it."
Taohua J shook her head and refused, "No need, I know what you mean, let Huo Juncheng go."
Huo Juncheng quickly called his assistant and gave him instructions.
Taohua J stood up and sat next to Lin Yilan, saying with concern, "You're still running around so late, and you're wearing so little. Aren't you afraid of getting sick? You really don't know how to take care of yourself anymore."
"And you." Taohua J suddenly turned his attention to Huo Juncheng. "If you can't take good care of my junior sister, I'll be the first to disagree and come after you."
"Of course, of course." Huo Juncheng agreed.
Taohua J's hand covered Lin Yilan's hand. Lin Yilan frowned and felt a square object stuffed in her hand.
Looking at Taohua J again, his face was expressionless. He stood up and paced around the room: "Your assistant's efficiency is not very high. If I wait for him to come back, I will probably starve to death."
Huo Juncheng responded to Taohua J's words on the surface, but his eyes were fixed on Lin Yilan's hand. The actions of the two people just now did not escape his eyes.
Lin Yilan is a very smart person. She knew something was wrong, but she didn't say anything. She rubbed it with her fingers twice and vaguely made out that it was a USB drive.
After putting the things into her pocket, her expression returned to normal and the room was filled with joy.
Yan Xing pestered Taohua J with all kinds of questions, looking like a little fanboy who had met his idol.
"Senior, you can actually decipher my code in such a short time, it's really amazing. I have been studying this code for a while, but I can't figure it out. Senior is indeed a senior, you are really amazing." Yan Xing praised from the bottom of his heart.
When will he be able to reach this level?
"You," Huo Juncheng poked Yan Xing's forehead and said, "I was wondering why you were so anxious on the phone, worried something might have happened. I came to see you so late at night and even treated myself to a meal of Australian crayfish."
Yan Xing smiled innocently.
Lin Yilan couldn't wait to solve all the mysteries. She stood up and said to Taohua J, "Since there's nothing else to do, we'll go back first. Third Brother, you can talk to Yan Xing."
"Okay, remember to be careful on the road and don't let your brother worry." Taohua J waved without even looking at Lin Yilan.
Back in the house, Lin Yilan went to the bedroom. Because this matter was so special, she even avoided Huo Juncheng. Fortunately, Huo Juncheng did not ask any further questions.
He opened the USB drive, and found that the content inside was recorded in advance by Taohua J. It contained a video explaining why he was so weird.
Taohua J said that his recent actions were under strict surveillance, including his speech. Lin Yilan stroked the USB drive with her hand and was stunned.
It turned out that Senior Brother Taohua J was being monitored. No wonder he was not as enthusiastic towards me as before.
There was a "dong dong dong" sound outside the bedroom.
"Can I come in?" The voice was deep and pleasant, it was Huo Juncheng.
"certainly."
Lin Yilan closed the computer and looked towards the door.
