Chapter 360: Every word is a trap.
Yan Guiyun reached out and took the binoculars from Chi Yining's hand, placed them on the bedside table, turned on the night light, and then turned off the main light. Afterward, he said, "Should we go to sleep early with Brother Yan?"
Chi Yining pulled the blanket over Yan Ge and covered him with it too. "Okay, go to sleep. Early to bed and early to rise makes you healthy." His voice always softened uncontrollably in front of Yan Guiyun.
He snuggled into Yan Guiyun's arms and began to inhale the fragrance emanating from Yan Guiyun's body. He and Yan-ge had recently been using the same shower gel, a woody scent that smelled wonderful.
Perhaps it was the fatigue from dealing with guests in the afternoon, coupled with the uncontrollable allure in the bathroom... He felt completely safe in Yan Guiyun's arms, and soon he closed his eyes heavily.
……
next day
Chi Yining saw that the internet was full of news about Huang's Industrial Group declaring bankruptcy overnight. After searching it up, he found that Huang's Industrial Group was a well-known conglomerate in China.
With the spirit of getting to the bottom of things, Chi Yining followed the internet and found out that it was because of the joint withdrawal of investment and suppression by the Jia family and other companies.
Coupled with some solid evidence of wrongdoing, Huang's Industrial's stock plummeted, turning it into an empty shell company overnight, and leaving it with hundreds of millions in debt.
"Wow! Brother Yan, what's going on?"
While busy with his work, Yan Guiyun said, "The Huang family is a parasite on the back of the Jia family, a big fish. They rose up by relying on the Jia family... The ancestors of the Huang family were servants of the Jia family in their early years. Because that servant helped the Jia family a lot during the famine in the early Xia Kingdom, they have been taking advantage of the favor for many years."
Chi Yining listened to Brother Yan talk about the history between the two families, but to eliminate the Huang family, one really needed a hard-hearted person to do it.
"So who did this?"
"Jia Mingchuan, it must be him."
Chi Yining raised her eyebrows in surprise, her curiosity growing even stronger. "Why?"
Yan Guiyun closed her laptop, leaned back in her office chair, turned her head, looked at Chi Yining on the sofa, and said, "Because of love?"
After saying that, Yan Guiyun chuckled to himself. He felt really sorry for Mingchuan, blaming him for knowing too much, but he was too lazy to get involved, since it wasn't his business and the parties involved needed to resolve it themselves.
Chi Yining's mind worked quickly. "In other words, there are various reasons behind Su Ziqian's going abroad, and the reason is that someone from the Huang family caused a misunderstanding between the two lovers."
Yan Guiyun couldn't help but smile. "As expected of you, you're so quick-witted. Why couldn't you see through things before we were officially a couple?"
Upon hearing this, Chi Yining was indignant. He threw the tablet in his hand onto the sofa, stood up, walked fiercely to Yan Guiyun, grabbed Yan Guiyun's chin with one hand, stared directly at him, and said angrily, "Wow, you big bad guy, you fooled me all the way before, saying that's how brothers are, taking advantage of my lack of social skills!"
He said all that in one breath, then paused for a moment and said, "Now I suspect that every word you said before was a trap!"
Yan Guiyun couldn't help but smile as she watched Chi Yining fiercely interrogate her.
"Huh? You're still laughing?"
Yan Guiyun suppressed her urge to smile, looking earnestly into his dark, pearly eyes, and said, "Isn't it because I love you, because I like you? I admit I'm ruthless, and besides, you're so slow to warm up..."
"How can we develop feelings for each other if I don't bring you to my side? It'll be ages before we can get together, maybe even before we're both ashes, right?"
Chi Yining thought it sounded...it seemed to make sense?
