Chapter 283 Secret Talk
"I came early if I had nothing to do." Huo Yan waved and ordered a cup of tea that he usually drank, and said casually, "Ling Yu knew that our group was doing a large-scale investigation, and was afraid that I would be tired, so she asked the system to help, and I was free."
Gu Yanying sneered.
Facing his penetrating gaze, Huo Yan remained calm and sat down calmly.
After sitting quietly facing each other for a while, the two got down to business.
"You've already released the news for a while. How's it going this week? Are there any special circumstances?" Huo Yan asked first.
"Same old situation." Gu Yanying said, "One or two people around me have made unusual moves, but they are probably enemy spies who want to steal scientific research results."
"Are you in trouble?"
"No." Gu Yanying shook her head and chuckled, "The confidentiality measures in the institute are very good. They have no chance to do anything."
"No signs of targeting you personally?"
"Not yet. The higher-ups have arranged four guards around me, following me all the time, so I may not be able to find an opportunity."
Huo Yan raised his eyes and met Gu Yanying's gaze with stern features. They both understood each other's meaning and spoke out almost at the same time.
“The security is so solid.”
"They didn't stand a chance."
At first, the two decided to use Gu Yanying as bait, saying that he also had a system, to see if they could lure out the top executives of the Wuliang organization hiding behind the scenes and find out who was behind the assassination of Su Lingyu and him.
But right now, progress is slow.
Those who hide in the dark are slow to act, and I don’t know what they are hesitating about or fearing.
Now think about it, did I overestimate their abilities?
If they don't sell a broken ribbon, they won't find an opportunity?
Gu Yanying said decisively: "Find an excuse to transfer the guards away, or create an opportunity for me to be 'alone', and release more information that I am tied to the system. We can't keep going like this. If the people behind this don't take action, I don't know how long I will have to wait for them to come to me."
Huo Yan shook his head: "No hurry."
"Are you sure you're not in a hurry?" Gu Yanying frowned and asked, "Or do you have other concerns?"
Huo Yan's eyes were calm, and he said seriously, "The more achievements you make in the research institute, the more attention you will attract. They will definitely keep guessing whether you had some kind of adventure when you were on the verge of death, which led to such outstanding achievements."
"Instead of releasing the information that you have tied to the system, it would be better for them to fill in the blanks on their own. People are more willing to believe the facts that they have 'analyzed' themselves."
"Besides, your project also means huge benefits. As long as the benefits are attractive enough, they will definitely try it out."
"They may be waiting for you to finish the project at hand. They can kill two birds with one stone, taking both your life and your scientific research results."
After all, he is an indispensable soul in the projects currently led by Gu Yanying. Without him, those projects will be stranded.
If the mastermind behind this is really that greedy, this possibility is very high.
After a pause, Huo Yan continued, "However, you can send out stronger and more obvious signals to let people know that you have been looking for the mastermind behind Ling Yu's attack."
Gu Yanying stared and thought for a moment, then nodded seriously: "Okay."
He smiled again and deliberately asked, "In order to act more realistically, should we move around more? Otherwise, those people won't believe that I love Ling Yu so deeply."
He asked this question to provoke Huo Yan.
Since the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine moved to the Nanjiao Base, his Institute of Biological Sciences was also settled here, and he personally moved to the residential area of the Nanjiao Base.
But logically speaking, he should have more opportunities to meet and get along with Su Lingyu, but he didn't.
On the one hand, he deliberately kept his distance.
On the other hand, there are also people who defend themselves very well, just like they are thieves.
Gu Yanying thought Huo Yan would be angry, or at least have some emotional fluctuations, but he didn't expect Huo Yan to just glance at him indifferently.
"Didn't you say last time that ever since you jumped into the river to save someone, everyone with a discerning eye knows that you are deeply in love with her, so if you stand out as bait, others won't be suspicious?"
"If at this point, you still need extra incentives to convince the mastermind that you will risk your life for her, then it only shows that the premise of our cooperation is not solid."
Gu Yanying: “……?”
"Okay." Huo Yan stood up, "I'm going back."
The spearhead group confirmed that there was no problem, but the other groups were not sure.
If there are hidden stakes in other groups, in order to prevent Lingyu from sending out the information of other groups in the form of predictive letters, the next few days will not be peaceful. He must stay by Su Lingyu's side as much as possible to feel at ease.
It’s just Gu Yanying’s attitude... Huo Yan pondered with a deep gaze, vaguely feeling that Gu Yanying was a lot more impatient than before, and seemed to want to quickly bring out the mastermind behind the scenes, as if in a hurry.
Why is this happening?
Is there some hidden story?
Huo Yan walked out of the box while thinking.
Gu Yanying looked at his receding back, then looked out the window again, her slender fingers stroking the rim of the white porcelain teacup, but she did not take another sip until the tea had cooled.
I don't know how long it was before he finally got up and left.
When he walked out of Qingfeng Teahouse, the waiter in charge of cleaning went into the private room to clean up and picked up a blood-stained handkerchief from the table.
Thinking back to when I brought tea to you before, the handsome man in white shirt and black trousers, covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed, looking sick, I was suddenly startled, and deep sympathy welled up in my eyes.
How could someone who looks so good be in such poor health, as if he won’t live long?
What a pity.
As Gu Yanying was walking on the street, Jiang Yufeng's earnest words suddenly echoed in her ears: "It's normal that you don't want to find Lingyu, but you stopped me from looking for her. Aren't you too reckless? She has the ability to use points to redeem resources from the system mall. Maybe there is something that can save your life!"
"Yanying, what's bothering you?"
