Chapter 238 Her Meeting
In Sister Jiang's opinion, the other party was so considerate that it was hard for her not to suspect that he had practiced this on other people.
Although she hadn't seen it on the hot searches or in the news related to Sheng Yegui before, Sister Jiang couldn't help but imagine that the other party was secretly doing something. Although she had just eaten Sheng Yegui's meal, from an emotional point of view, she was more on Qiao Yuan's side, so she didn't forget to remind Qiao Yuan to be careful of the other party's emotional deception.
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt her cell phone ring.
Sister Jiang took out her cell phone and saw that it was a message from Sheng Yegui.
Although she knew Sheng Yegui was not at the scene and did not hear what she just said, but when she saw the message from the other party, Sister Jiang still subconsciously nervous.
After clicking on the screen, Sister Jiang found that it was a message from Sheng Yegui, asking her and Qiao Yuan what they thought of the meal and whether there was anything that needed improvement.
Sister Jiang couldn't find any faults for now.
And this was just the beginning. In the next few days, Sheng Yegui also brought the prepared meals over. Sister Jiang originally thought that she had seen it once and would not be surprised again, but when she saw the meal that Sheng Yegui brought, she was shocked again.
The meals brought by the other party were not the same. When the assistant came back, she also praised the meals. When she learned who made the meals, she also experienced the same complicated mental journey as Sister Jiang.
After continuous filming, Qiao Yuan finally had a short break from the crew. Although it was only two days, it gave the actors and staff of the crew time to adjust.
Qiao Yuan was very happy about the holiday and had even planned what to do in the next two days, but then he received a message from an unknown number.
【You want to see me? 】
Although the other party did not indicate his name, the tone of voice that seemed to be felt through the phone screen made Qiao Yuan immediately realize that the message was from Gu Yan.
It seems that Yu Guo did convey her meaning and successfully built a bridge of communication between the two.
After realizing that this number was the one Gu Yan was using, Qiao Yuan first tried to call it, but it kept showing that the call could not be connected.
However, Qiao Yuan had guessed this possibility before, so he was not discouraged, but continued typing quickly.
Qiao Yuan: [There is a misunderstanding between us, so I hope it can be resolved through communication. ]
Gu Yan: [I'll send you the address, you come alone.]
[In that case, I will meet you. ]
Of course that's impossible.
After all, if Gu Yan made an appointment at his territory, and the other party had such a strong desire to kill her, if she just went there, it would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.
Gu Yan on the other side also realized that Qiao Yuan did not reply immediately.
Gu Yan: [You don’t dare.]
Of course Qiao Yuan would not be fooled by provocation.
Qiao Yuan: [Do you dare to meet me at the entrance of the coffee shop near ?]
[You and I are one person]
You dare not
However, Gu Yan obviously did not fall for the provocation.
Qiao Yuan: [Why don’t we both take a step back and create a web conference link]
[If you are worried about exposing your address, you can also set the background]
After she sent this message, Gu Yan never replied.
However, Qiao Yuan had already contacted Gu Yan, so after sending a message saying "Think about it quickly, I only have two days of vacation, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow", he turned and sent a message to Sheng Yegui, telling him that Gu Yan had just sent a message from an unfamiliar number, and he didn't know if the IP address could be traced based on this.
Sheng Yegui: [Of course, I also learned these from Sheng Guiye before.]
Because he felt that Sheng Guiye was finally in agreement with him about liking Qiao Yuan, Sheng Yegui's impression of Sheng Guiye improved a lot, and he was finally willing to mention him.
[But I need to use your phone so we can arrange a meeting place. Can I use your phone to check it? ]
Of course Qiao Yuan had no objection, but as it was already late, they finally chose tomorrow as the date and arranged the meeting at a highly private club.
Since the last time they parted, Qiao Yuan saw Sheng Yegui again. When they were in the crew before, Sheng Yegui came to deliver food almost every day, but he always gave it to Sister Jiang or the assistant.
Or when Sheng Yegui couldn't come, he would ask his secretary to come, so Qiao Yuan had never met him. But every time he ate, Sheng Yegui's face would appear in Qiao Yuan's mind.
The other party arrived earlier than her, so after Qiao Yuan arrived at the box under the guidance of the staff, she saw the person sitting in the middle as soon as she entered the box.
Although Sheng Guiye was dressed casually last time, perhaps because of his temperament, he still had a lingering sharpness. Sheng Yegui in front of him was wearing a long off-white windbreaker, black casual suit pants and Martin boots of the same color.
Sheng Yegui wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his high nose bridge, and his long eyelashes drooped. Under the light, his facial features looked delicate and gentle, yet he still had the steadiness of an adult, like a gentle senior.
If the face was not the same one she remembered, Qiao Yuan would have thought she had walked into the wrong box. After all, in her impression, Sheng Guiye always wore black and white.
I'm afraid that Song Yanchi won't be able to find any fault this time.
Sheng Yegui also looked up the moment he heard the door open. When he saw it was Qiao Yuan, his eyes lit up: "You're here."
He did not miss the surprise and fleeting amazement in Qiao Yuan's eyes when she saw him.
Sheng Yegui had been studying dressing before and had much more experience than Sheng Guiye, but this was his first time putting it into practice. Therefore, he was nervous for a while before Qiao Yuan appeared, and even kept adjusting his outfit.
It was not until Qiao Yuan appeared and Sheng Yegui finally relaxed his tense heartstrings when he saw the expression on the other person's face.
Qiao Yuan nodded, and then sat opposite Sheng Yegui.
The relationship between them was no longer such that they needed to exchange pleasantries, so Qiao Yuan went straight to the point and handed the phone to Sheng Yegui.
Sheng Yegui opened his laptop and Qiao Yuan accidentally glanced at his screen.
What surprised Qiao Yuan was not that Sheng Yegui's photo was a selfie he had posted on Weibo, but the document on his desktop. Although he only took a quick glance, Qiao Yuan also saw the name on the document, which looked like the name of a recipe.
The other party even created a document for the recipe.
However, Sheng Yegui's voice quickly drew Qiao Yuan's attention back: "This is a virtual IP. The location after the cracking is in a small country, known as a transit station for mercenaries."
Qiao Yuan: "So this is just a place where Gu Yan is staying temporarily."
Sheng Yegui: "That's right."
"I checked, the whereabouts of the mercenary team G are unknown. If you want to contact them, you need an insider to introduce them..."
Qiao Yuan thought of Yu Guo, but unexpectedly he chose the formal channel within the other team by mistake.
Sheng Yegui: "Fortunately you didn't agree to meet him alone, otherwise it would be too dangerous."
Because he was analyzing the information just now, Sheng Yegui also saw the content on Qiao Yuan’s mobile phone screen, and therefore knew about the previous conversation between Qiao Yuan and Gu Yan.
He also knew that Qiao Yuan had proposed a meeting, but Gu Yan had not agreed to it until now, so he said, "If he disagrees, can we go together? I won't bring bodyguards..."
As soon as Sheng Yegui finished speaking, he saw Qiao Yuan's screen light up.
This time it was another unfamiliar number, with the meeting link and password to enter the meeting room, and also required one person to participate.
The time is set for tomorrow, her last day of vacation.
Because it involved a link, this time out of caution, Qiao Yuan asked Sheng Yegui to check it. After confirming that there was no problem with the link, he confirmed that it was Gu Yan's new account.
Sheng Yegui looked at Qiao Yuan with shining eyes: "He agreed."
"Just do you really want to attend the meeting alone?"
Qiao Yuan: “It’s just an online meeting.”
She and Gu Yan were separated by a screen, so Qiao Yuan felt that the danger was greatly reduced.
After hearing what Qiao Yuan said, Sheng Yegui finally felt relieved: "If you have any questions, you can contact me at any time. I'm here every day."
Qiao Yuan nodded, and then offered to treat Sheng Yegui to a meal as a thank you.
The private club also provides rich meals, but Sheng Yegui has no interest in eating. He just wants to prolong the time he spends with Qiao Yuan, so he orders something casually. Then, he uses the menu to ask Qiao Yuan if there are any dishes that he finds new.
After the dishes came, the staff quickly retreated, leaving a separate space for Qiao Yuan and Sheng Yegui.
Sheng Yegui took the opportunity to talk about Qiao Yuan's daily filming life in the crew, because he had more or less inquired about it from Sister Jiang before, and Sheng Yegui and Qiao Yuan had a lively chat.
But for Sheng Yegui, happy times are always short. Although he felt that only a moment had passed, two hours later, he and Qiao Yuan still had to part.
Qiao Yuan originally drove here and didn't need Sheng Yegui to see him off, so when they parted, Sheng Yegui could only watch Qiao Yuan leave.
Since it was just an online meeting, Qiao Yuan didn't need to prepare anything.
The next day at noon, it was the time Gu Yan had agreed with her. Qiao Yuan entered the conference room, and a number had already been reserved in the online conference room.
Because the camera was on, Qiao Yuan could see the other person's face clearly.
I don’t know if Qiao Yuan’s reminder worked, but Gu Yan’s background was obviously an automatically generated virtual background.
His brows were cold, and the upper body exposed in the camera was wearing a dark short-sleeved shirt, his hair was a little messy, and he looked like he had just exercised.
Perhaps because Qiao Yuan had seen his true face, he no longer hid it behind a false one.
No one knew what the other party was thinking, so much so that he was unable to react immediately after Qiao Yuan entered.
It was only when he heard the sound of Qiao Yuan turning on the microphone that he looked up as if awakened from a dream, his sharp eyes seemed to fall directly on Qiao Yuan through the screen.
If it were someone else, he would probably have felt uneasy and restless, but Qiao Yuan pretended not to see it and even greeted Gu Yan.
Gu Yan was not in the mood to greet Qiao Yuan. Just as she was about to speak impatiently, Qiao Yuan had already said, "Did you see me kill Lu Zhi in the dungeon?"
Gu Yan: "You have indeed heard Yu Guo say it."
Gu Yan knew that Yu Guo went to participate in the variety show for Qiao Yuan, but firstly, he did not interfere in the private lives of his subordinates, and secondly, he thought that he had already told Yu Guo in advance that Yu Guo would not take action against Qiao Yuan before him, so he just let him do what he wanted.
What he didn't expect was that Yu Guo actually sold his information and even sent a message on behalf of Qiao Yuan, wanting to have a chat with him.
Gu Yan's first reaction was naturally anger, and then he revealed murderous intent.
Yu Guo had anticipated this, so he spoke up first: "I did this because I was curious about why Qiao was willing to kill Lu Zhi. Aren't you curious?"
"You almost picked all the black roses you planted for her."
"There was another time when she pissed you off to the point of fainting... cough cough, anyway, you were about to be hospitalized. I believe you can take this opportunity to turn the tables."
As someone who has stayed with Gu Yan for such a long time, Yu Guo has naturally witnessed a lot of things.
Yu Guo still remembered that it was not long after Qiao Yuan posted the Weibo. At that time, Qiao Yuan had just completed the mercenary mission, and he was so angry that he covered his chest and fell to the ground the next second. Although he fainted for a few minutes, he was still witnessed by Yu Guo and other men.
Yu Guo thought he was temporarily involved in the dungeon again, but seeing Gu Yan's reaction, he felt that was not the case. Although the others didn't know about the game, they were also shocked. After all, they all knew that Gu Yan's physical strength was terrifying. In order to carry out the mission before, he had been in the rain forest for three or four days without sleep and led people to guard it. How could this time...
If the other person had woken up a little later, what he would see when he opened his eyes again would be the ceiling of the hospital.
Sensing Gu Yan's dissatisfaction with her mentioning the dark history, Yu Guo added: "Don't worry, I definitely didn't tell her about this matter, and I would never have thought of this possibility."
After all, not to mention that Yu Guo was busy chatting with Sheng Yegui and Qiao Yuan at that time, and had no time to bring up this topic. The most important thing is that although Yu Guo was temporarily blinded by money, he also knew what to say and what not to say.
After all, she still has to work under Gu Yan for a long time.
This also avoided the situation where Gu Yan didn't know what expression she should have when appearing in front of Qiao Yuan.
Gu Yan's gaze fell on Yu Guo's face. After repeatedly confirming that the other party did not show any expression of lying, she temporarily felt relieved.
Gu Yan's attention quickly returned to this matter.
Although she was angry, Gu Yan had to admit that Yu Guo was right in some ways -
He had indeed suffered at the hands of the other party.
He also didn't expect Qiao Yuan to be so confused as to confuse right and wrong and force his fandom on him.
Gu Yan already hated Qiao Yuan at the time, and after being misrepresented, he felt what it was like to be wronged. However, he only had a blackout and was unconscious for a few minutes, but no matter how he refuted the rumors, Yu Guo and others always thought that he had fainted.
Thinking of this, Gu Yan couldn't help but look at Yu Guo coldly.
Although Yu Guo was temporarily let go, Gu Yan still thought about it for a while about whether to agree to meet Qiao Yuan before sending the message.
What he didn't expect was that Qiao Yuan responded quickly and even proposed to meet online.
Although Gu Yan did not want to follow Qiao Yuan's idea, after some thought, she found that this was indeed the most reasonable method, and finally had to agree.
It was just that the experience in the last instance, coupled with Yu Guo's previous words, brought back his memories of his dark history, so that he woke up early this morning. In order to stabilize his emotions, Gu Yan ran a few laps before meeting Qiao Yuan, and boxed with one of his men for a while, finally calming his restless heart.
But this was obviously of no use, because Gu Yan found that he still couldn't control his emotions the moment he saw Qiao Yuan.
Especially since Qiao Yuan now took the initiative to mention Lu Zhi.
Qiao Yuan then asked, "So what did you see at that time?"
She had asked the system before, and asking such questions was not against the rules, so Qiao Yuan dared to ask boldly.
Although there was a screen between them, Gu Yan's hand on the armrest was almost enough to crush it.
His palm had been cut by the debris of the armrest, but Gu Yan didn't seem to feel any pain. He just stared at Qiao Yuan and asked, "Are you still asking me questions?"
Qiao Yuan: "Because I have never done such a thing."
She raised her hand and swore as she spoke, but Gu Yan didn't seem to believe her.
If Qiao Yuan was standing in front of him now, Gu Yan would probably have taken action directly.
Qiao Yuan also noticed Gu Yan's excitement and reminded her in a friendly way: "Be careful not to break the screen."
She didn't feel sorry for Gu Yan's computer or mobile phone, but if Gu Yan broke the screen, how would she get a second chance to meet him.
And according to Gu Yan's personality, if this matter ends like this, the resentment will be even deeper, so it is better to resolve it now.
Qiao Yuan: "Take a deep breath, inhale, exhale, exhale..."
Gu Yan glared at him: "Why did you say exhale twice?"
Isn't it normal to breathe in and out?
Very good, Qiao Yuan realized that although Gu Yan looked angry, she was still able to listen to what he said.
Now Qiao Yuan felt half relieved.
Qiao Yuan changed the subject: "Have you had any contact with Lu Zhi before?"
Gu Yan was like a fish that finally saw the bait and took the bait instantly: "Of course."
