Chapter 50 - Everyone Has Secrets

"I'm going to the academy to give a lecture today, so I won't see you off."

Downstairs in the apartment, Gu Wulian stood on tiptoe to straighten the collar of the bent Yan Lu: "Come on."

"I didn't need my aunt to send it off...although it would be better if I could come."

Yan Lu raised his chin confidently: "I will definitely take this order, let's have a big dinner tonight, auntie!"

"I feel that what I cook is no worse than any big meal..."

"Oh, the point is to spend money, the pleasure of spending money!"

Yan Lu smiled and stretched out his arms to hug Gu Wulian, rubbing his fair and tender face: "Anyway, can I arrange it instead?"

"If you go out to play, isn't it all arranged by you?" Gu Wulian smiled, and reached out to hug Yanlu's slender waist, "It's fine if you don't waste too much, I can do it."

"It's settled, can I buy clothes?"

"..." Seeing Yan Lu's sly expression, Gu Wulian sighed helplessly, "Yes, it's fine. But you can't treat me as a dress-up doll, you know?"

"I don't disrespect my aunt that much. I came to help my aunt change her clothes with a very pious attitude towards holy objects!" Miss Yan Lu said with a righteous face.

"Stop talking." Gu Wulian nodded her forehead, "Wait here by yourself, I'm going to the academy first."

"Goodbye, aunt!"

"Ah."

Seeing Gu Wulian's back gradually receding, Yan Lu felt endless strength all over his body.

"It's time to buy new clothes for my aunt, hehe, hehehehe..."

Thinking of her aunt's appearance when she was tossed around by her, Miss Lu rubbed her hands happily.

Especially at that time when he was helpless and angry, his face was reddish and a little shy, but he pampered and let himself do what he did...

——In fact, Gu Wulian didn't have so many mental activities at all, she was somewhat used to it, but Yan Lu would occasionally imagine the scene when she helped Gu Wulian change clothes for the first time.

"Hey...cough." Yan Lu coughed, feeling his expression gradually becoming uncontrollable. This must not be seen by the customers who are coming soon, otherwise he will lose his aura of a senior financial consultant.

"Auntie is really scary, like poison."

Yan Lu touched the ring and muttered softly.

Not long after, a black commercial vehicle pulled up to the side of the road.

"Ms. Yan Lu."

The window was lowered, and the man in the driver's seat stretched out his hand to Yan Lu: "Jiu Yang."

"Not at all." Yan Lu smiled and stretched out his hand to shake it back, his aura became stable and mature in an instant, "I didn't expect that you would propose to pick me up directly, thank you."

"Where is it, Ms. Yan can pry out such a big movement in Junmi's financial circle with such a little resources in her hands. After all, she is a distinguished guest. It is only natural that we should come to pick her up."

The man smiled politely, nodded and said, "Please get in the car."

Yan Lu got into the black business car without thinking too much, and talked about many cooperation matters with the other two people in the car along the way. Since the other party gave Yan Lu a lot of face, Yan Lu of course responded very well. The whole conversation process Still relatively relaxed and happy.

"Don't you need an assistant?"

"Me? I'm not used to relying on assistants for help. I basically do things by myself."

"It's amazing."

"I am over-flattered……"

When we arrived at the headquarters of the other party's company, there was no problem in the whole negotiation process. The other party was very satisfied with the planning plan given by Yan Lu, and expressed his trust in Yan Lu's ability. Yan Lu felt a little incredible about the smoothness of the contract signing.

Although I have been approached by my subordinates before, this level of silky smoothness... is not too illusory, if only my collaborators are so easy to talk to in the future.

"What kind of luck have I had these days?" Yan Lu, who was sitting on the bench in the corridor, touched his face in disbelief.

Holding a can of soda in her hands, she scratched her head and thought for a while, but couldn't think of a reason, so she attributed everything to her luck getting better and better after meeting Gu Wulian.

"To my dearest aunt!"

The woman with crossed legs opened the pull ring, put one hand on the back of the chair, raised the soda with the other, and swallowed it boldly.

"Haah~"

Yan Lu let out a long breath of refreshment, stretched his waist by the way, picked up a stack of documents beside him, and prepared to go back to the company to continue working.

At this moment, two men in uniform walked up to Yan Lu and asked very politely: "Ms. Yan, the boss ordered us to take you back."

"How embarrassing..." Yan Lu pursed his lips and smiled.

Oh, I know I'm quite capable, but you don't have to be so polite.

"You are a distinguished guest."

Our Miss Yan Lu likes to hear good things!

Without thinking too much, Yan Lu, full of a sense of accomplishment, followed the two into the elevator to the parking lot, and got into the middle row of another seven-seat black commercial vehicle.

"Your company has plenty of funds." As soon as he sat down, Yan Lu began to chat, "Generally speaking, such a large amount of bills have to be considered twice, or have you already investigated secretly before? Hmm... I I don’t think it’s necessary, our company is not a blah blah—”

In the shadows behind the middle seat, a hand wrapped in a white cloth suddenly stretched out and quickly covered Yan Lu's mouth!

The two people in the seats looked at each other, and were about to drive away, when they suddenly heard a scream from behind.

The two were startled at the same time: "What are you doing! I said you can't hurt—"

"... hurt her"

"Fuck you...damn it."

The woman who directly twisted off the hand abruptly spat, turned her head to look at the two men in the driver's seat, and there was a bloody iridescent light in her pupils.

"Who are you!"

The man in the passenger seat reacted first, stood up and punched Yan Lu on the head, but was easily caught by the latter.

"What are you doing...?" Yan Lu slowly gathered his five fingers expressionlessly, "Kidnapping? Binding me? Didn't you have a good talk with me just now? Or are you another group of people? You have hatred against me ?”

The scalp-numbing sound of bone cracking resounded in the small car, and the man in the driver's seat clenched his fists as if he had just woken up from a dream.

And this girl who usually likes to act like a baby in front of Gu Wulian, pesters her to play games, and always makes strange demands, is very childish, and puts a head hammer on the incoming fist with an expressionless face.

"what!"

Just by hearing such screams, one knew how painful that moment was.

Yan Lu shook off the hand that was almost crushed by her, with deformed phalanges and metacarpal bones, and raised his hand to grab the neck of the man in the driver's seat.

"answer my question."

Yan Lu, whose eyes were full of blood, said each word with a pause: "You, who are you!"

The man whose throat was strangled kept hammering Yan Lu's seemingly slender and weak arms, but it didn't have any effect. Instead, it seemed to deepen the ferocity of Yan Lu, who was not normal now.

"Don't tell me, do you? Huh?"

The corners of her mouth were raised, her face was bright and charming, but her smile made people feel chills down the spine.

The man whose neck was grabbed to death gradually turned blue, and the force with which he hammered Yan Lu's arm became weaker and weaker, as if he was about to lose all his strength in the next second.

Just at this moment, Yan Lu's mobile phone suddenly rang—it was the notification sound of a message from someone he cared about in the chat software.

And there is only one person that Yan Lu pays special attention to.

The woman's hand froze in an instant, and the blood in her pupils faded like a tide, and the man who was almost strangled to death also had a chance to breathe due to the withdrawal of force.

Yan Lu slowly withdrew his hand that was beginning to tremble, looked down at the slightly curled five fingers, and waves of fear and panic set off in his constantly turbulent eyes.

She slammed the car door hard, fled all the way out of the underground parking lot, took a few deep breaths outside, and tremblingly took out the phone from her arms.

[Aunt]: "How is the talk, is it going well?"

Yan Lu breathed heavily with his mouth, poked the keys on the phone keyboard with his unsteady index finger, and accidentally missed the key several times, so he had to type repeatedly.

【Wild Deer Zero Three】: "Of course it's okay, I told you to trust me, Auntie."

A few seconds later, another message came from the other end.

[Aunt]: "It's good if you succeed. I'm still waiting for you to take me to a big meal today."

【Wild Deer Zero Three】: "Auntie is just looking forward to it!"

[Aunt]: "Okay~ Then I will continue with the class."

Yan Lu didn't reply to the message again, she stuffed the phone back into the inner pocket of her jacket, looking distressed and anxious, restless.

"I can't let my aunt know... I can't let my aunt know..."

Even though Gu Wulian had told her very seriously that no matter what happened, she would not mind her, but Yan Lu didn't want Gu Wulian to know about it at all.

She never wanted Gu Wulian to know about herself like this.

"No... But they will definitely be discovered, and they won't be able to hide it...My situation is also a bit difficult, and I may not be able to hide it from my aunt. I have to find a way... Find a way..."

The woman kept biting her nails, and her breathing gradually became heavier.

"... By the way, she... If it's her..."

As if he had found some hope, Yan Lu's gloomy and restless eyes instantly brightened.

Ji Liqing who was meditating inside the house suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Very hasty, and... violent.

Definitely not Gu Wulian's way of knocking on the door.

The woman poker-facedly picked up the tactical dagger on the table and stuck it behind her waist. She silently touched the door and looked through the peephole.

...how could it be her?

Ji Liqing was stunned for a moment, let go of the hand holding the dagger, and opened the door.

"Miss Ji!"

The woman that Ji Liqing didn't like very much broke in directly and stared at her: "Do me a favor...please, no...please."

"...Speak slowly."

Five minutes later, Ji Liqing's expression did not fluctuate after listening to the whole incident.

"Are they still there?" she asked out of words.

"...I'm not sure, everyone has only lost one hand, so they should have already run away."

"They are very cautious mice. Miss Yan doesn't have to worry about exposing your...problem in a short time."

"Just for a short time." Yan Lu shook his head, "I can't accept it."

Ji Liqing glanced at the ring on Yan Lu's hand: "Have you ever reacted to this thing?"

"……reaction?"

"This ring was specially made by Ms. Gu after she applied for Yuanling materials from the Repair and Management Bureau out of concern for Ms. Yan's safety."

Ji Liqing explained: "I think, with Ms. Gu's careful thinking, it is impossible for her not to leave a sensor on this ring. If Ms. Yan is in danger, she will definitely sense it immediately."

The blood on Yan Lu's face faded instantly, and he was so pale that he almost had no human appearance.

"Don't be too nervous." Seeing the change in Yan Lu's expression, Ji Liqing was also slightly surprised, "Before the sensing ability, Ms. Gu will definitely set up the ability to counterattack, after all, her priority is to protect your safety , if the counterattack ability is not triggered, then theoretically, it should not be able to sense your changes."

Hearing these words, Yan Lu's face became slightly normal.

"with all due respect."

After observing Yan Lu for a while, Ji Liqing said directly: "Miss Yan, your current mental state is impossible to hide from Ms. Gu's eyes. She is very sensitive to emotions."

"...I will try my best to hide it." Yan Lu lowered his eyes slightly, "But before that...Miss Ji, can you do me this favor?"

"..."

Ji Liqing didn't speak, and was silent for a long time.

"why?"

After a long silence, she asked: "Ms. Gu, she should care about you very much, and she won't mind your questions."

"But I mind." Yan Lu suddenly raised his head, "I can't accept...do you understand, Miss Ji."

Looking into Yan Lu's eyes, Ji Liqing recalled what she saw in Yan Lu's file.
