"I came earlier 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.

Meeting his insightful gaze, Huo Yan remained calm and sat down calmly.

After sitting quietly for a while, the two got down to business.

"You've released the news for quite a while. How was it this week? Were 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 agents who want to steal scientific research results."

"in trouble?"

"No." Gu Yanying shook her head and chuckled, "The confidentiality measures in the institute are very good. They didn't have the opportunity 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 eyes. They both understood each other's meaning and spoke almost at the same time.

“The security is so solid.”

“They didn’t stand a chance.”

At the beginning, the two decided to use Gu Yanying as bait, saying that he also had the system, to see if they could lure out the top leaders of the Wuliang organization hiding behind the scenes and find out who was behind the murder of Su Lingyu and him.

But right now, progress is slow.

Those who hide in the dark are slow to act. I don’t know what they are hesitating about or what they are afraid of.

Now that I think about it, did I overestimate their abilities?

If we don't expose our flaws, they won't be able to find an opportunity?

Gu Yanying said decisively: "After a while, find an excuse to transfer the guards away, or create an opportunity for me to be 'alone', and release more information about me being bound to the system. We can't keep going like this. If the people behind the scenes don't take action, I don't know how long I'll have to wait for them."

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 speculating whether you had some kind of adventure while you were near death, which led to such outstanding achievements."

"Instead of releasing the information about you binding the system, it would be better for them to fill in the blanks on their own. People are more willing to believe the facts they have 'analyzed' themselves."

"Besides, your project also means huge profits. As long as the profits are attractive enough, they will definitely try it out."

"They may be waiting for you to finish the project you are working on. They want to kill two birds with one stone, 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 also move around more? Otherwise, those people won't believe that I love Lingyu 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 established 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, some people are on guard against thieves very strictly.

Gu Yanying thought Huo Yan would be angry, or at least have some emotional fluctuations, but she 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 suspect anything?"

"If at this point, you still need additional 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 regiment confirmed that there was no problem, but the other regiments were not sure.

If there are secret agents in other groups, in order to prevent Lingyu from passing on the information of other groups in the form of predictive letters, these few days will not be peaceful. He has to 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 lure out the mastermind behind the scenes, as if in a hurry.

Why is this happening?

Is there something hidden?

Huo Yan walked out of the box while thinking.

Gu Yanying looked at his back as he walked away, then looked away and out the window again. Her slender fingers stroked 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 came into the box to clean up and picked up a blood-stained handkerchief from the table.

Thinking of the time when he brought tea to me before, the handsome man in white shirt and black pants, coughing with a handkerchief covering his mouth, 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 shame.

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 exchange resources from the system mall. Maybe there is something that can save your life!"

"Yanying, what's wrong with you?"
