Chapter 237: Beat the Dog's Brain
Huo Yan has a calm but straightforward personality and has always been an upright person.
He strode to the table, sat down on the wooden chair, and said straight to the point: "Professor Gu, you can now tell me why you are here."
Gu Yanying chuckled, not surprised by his directness.
However, he did not speak in a hurry. Instead, he poured a cup of tea for Huo Yan and said meaningfully: "This tea is good, try it."
Biluochun, is Buddha moved?
Huo Yan put his index and middle fingers of his left hand together and knocked them three times on the table as a sign of respect.
After finishing a cup of tea, Gu Yanying took the initiative to speak: "I disappeared and reappeared this time. I believe you are very curious about what happened to me. As smart as you are, you should have guessed it in your mind."
Huo Yan nodded: "Not bad."
"I won't beat around the bush with you." Gu Yanying smiled and turned the teacup in her hand, which was not much bigger than her thumb. "The reason why I was able to come back alive, or to say, to be resurrected from the dead, is indeed because I had the same adventure as Lingyu and was bound to the system. However, you and I are not yet at the point where we know everything, so I won't go into details."
Huo Yanfeng narrowed his eyes slightly.
Given Gu Yanying's suspicious and cautious character, he had no intention of digging out his core secrets in just one meeting. This would require a long process of testing trust.
But, spiritual rain?
He did not miss the provocation in Gu Yanying's eyes, but he was not fooled. He asked in a deep voice, "So what? What is your purpose in inviting me here today to reveal this news?"
Speaking of business, Gu Yanying raised her eyebrows and chuckled, then put down the teacup in her hand and said seriously, "The top leaders of the Infinite Organization have targeted Ling Yu more than once or twice. They are not doing this purely for revenge, but to silence her. You should have noticed this, right?"
Although she asked this question, Gu Yanying's eyes were filled with a look that said, "If you don't realize this, you're probably a fool."
Huo Yan's eyes were calm and he glanced at him coldly.
Gu Yanying continued: "They are wary of Ling Yu simply because her system can find a lot of information that intelligence agencies cannot. It is too powerful and they are worried that their identities will be exposed."
"Even though they know the system has limitations and not everything can be found, they don't dare to take the risk. Because once they are exposed, they will be ruined."
"If I stand up now and say that I also have a system and pretend to get to the bottom of it, do you think they will be anxious?"
"As long as we get anxious, they will reveal their flaws, and it is only natural to catch them one by one."
Huo Yan asked: "You want to use yourself as bait?"
"Yes." Gu Yanying nodded, "If I were to do that, I would just startle the snake!"
"How can you make people believe that you are willing to do this for my lover?"
Is this a declaration of sovereignty, a counterattack?
Gu Yanying chuckled and said slowly, "I thought that after I risked my life to save Lingyu this time, many people would realize that I was deeply in love with her and would do anything for her. However, due to her married status, I could only wait silently and not disturb her."
Huo Yan's gaze suddenly turned deep and sharp.
Gu Yanying did not avoid him either. She just turned the teacup in her hand and looked at him with a faint smile.
In the eyes of Wang Yu who was guarding the door, these two people would fight each other at the slightest disagreement, and even fight each other to the point of beating each other's heads. The air was filled with the strong smell of gunpowder.
What did he hear?!
Was he too slow and dull? He really didn't expect that Gu Yanying actually liked, no, loved Su Lingyu. He thought he was helpful!
But on second thought, it doesn't seem so surprising.
After all, Su Lingyu was so beautiful that not only men couldn't take their eyes off her, but even women couldn't resist her charm. At least he himself often felt that he was not as important as a strand of Su Lingyu's hair in Qin Zhen's heart.
In the private room.
In the tense atmosphere, Gu Yanying chuckled and said, "It's just a joke, don't be nervous. Don't worry, I won't let anyone think of the relationship between Lingyu and me as romantic, and I won't bring trouble to her."
"My idea is 'interest'. If I spread the news that the Huo family wants to avenge Ling Yu and is willing to spend a lot of money to find me, those people will be restless."
Huo Yan suppressed his surging emotions and nodded calmly: "Okay, I agree! I will make a detailed plan and ensure your safety, and try my best to prevent you from dying."
Gu Yanying raised her eyebrows.
Huo Yan stood up, took the initiative to extend his hand and said: "My wife was in danger this time, thanks to you for saving her. I will bring her to thank you someday."
"Oh?" Gu Yanying stood up, glanced at the hand he extended, smiled faintly, and shook it politely. "I am willing, but I look forward to seeing you next time."
Both of them had faint smiles on their faces and looked quite calm.
But the undercurrent was so surging that Wang Yu, who was standing outside the door, felt a chill down his spine.
Fortunately, fortunately, there is no big shot like Gu Yanying who is thinking about his wife, otherwise he would not be able to remain calm and composed like the leader, and he would only roll on the ground to beg for favor.
The matter is settled.
Huo Yan stood up and walked out of the private room, when he suddenly heard a violent cough behind him.
He turned around subconsciously and saw Gu Yanying with his hands on the tea table, hunched over and coughing, as if he wanted to cough out all his internal organs. There was a streak of glaring red blood at the corner of his lips.
Noticing Huo Yan's gaze, Gu Yanying turned around and raised her eyebrows.
Huo Yan withdrew his gaze and strode away.
…
Huo Yan left Qingfeng Teahouse and took a car to the office building of the 52nd Division.
Along the way, he never stopped analyzing in his mind.
Soon, the car arrived at the 52nd Division office building.
As soon as Huo Yan got out of the car, a young warrior on duty ran over and led him to the small meeting room on the third floor.
Wang Zhengkai, Yin Hongqi, Municipal Party Secretary Qin Linfeng, and Huo Jianguo had already arrived. As soon as the door opened, they all looked at Huo Yan who was standing at the door.
Huo Jianguo asked directly: "Did you find out any useful information? What happened to Gu Yanying? Is it really like you said, tied to the system?"
The matter was of great importance, and Wang Zhengkai and three others were also very concerned.
Huo Yan didn't say anything and told Gu Yanying everything that happened today in a very objective manner.
As for the tit-for-tat or jealousy between the two during their conversation, there is no need to talk about it.
He also mentioned the scene where Gu Yanying coughed up blood: "I suspect that Gu Yanying was seriously injured. I don't know if it was while performing system tasks. If the country wants to make a statement, this is a starting point."
Wang Zhengkai nodded and continued, "Gu Yanying is a man of deep thoughts and not someone who is easy to control. But he is incredibly talented, and the country is unwilling to miss out on such a high-end talent. How to treat him is indeed a problem."
"He hasn't told us yet, so many things are still unclear... Huo Yan, you are calm and thoughtful, so I have to let you contact him."
"When necessary, I hope you can be informal."
"Wait! What do you mean by casual?" Huo Jianguo disagreed and shouted, "Why don't you just tell my son to take advantage of Gu Yanying's feelings for his wife and get information from her? Do you think you can't say it? Oh, if you can't say it, my son can do it?"
Wang Zhengkai smiled helplessly: "But that is the fastest way, isn't it?"
He looked at Huo Yan again: "How do you think we should treat Gu Yanying better? Huo Yan, I want to hear your opinion."
