Chapter One Hundred and Forty: What Could Happen in Two Weeks (2/2)
Hence, Xiao Yu was completely unaware that there was something strange about Nannan’s answer. Neither did he realized that Yan Jin had already contacted Nannan on his behalf. The chairman had even fixed a time for his disciple to visit them, just to give the designer a big surprise (shock).
However, before Nannan had paid them a visit, there was another person who arrived first.
……
During this period, Chu Ge was in a state of complete isolation.
He could not blame it on others as it was all because of himself.
If he had not found out that Yan Jin had gathered the secret force that the Yan family had been hiding from everyone and then had requested to tag along because he was free and bored, he would not have ended up being used to keep those betrayers alive while they were interrogated for the past two weeks.
*Sighs* In all honesty, he was a doctor who took the burden of practicing medicine to help the public. Yet at this moment, the most outstanding, youngest doctor of the century was used as a part-time interrogator???
It was the degeneracy of humanity, the loss of the society!
Although there was not completely nothing in return.
At least Chu Ge had had found a way to remove the Nan family from Yan Jin’s “spring-cleaning” this time around.
In the end, he begrudged his family. It was what people referred as blood ties, that even if you broke its bone, there would be tendons attached to it.
When everything was just about settled, Chu Ge bade farewell to Yan Jin’s subordinates, put on a brand-new white robe, and dropped by on his own initiative.
His plan was as such: he would see if he could fool Yan Jin about what he had done for his family. It would be the best if he could so he could pretend that nothing had never happened. If he could not pull it off, he knew that based on their many years of friendship, Yan Jin would not really punish him. Chu Ge would have to at most confess his sins and beg for forgiveness.
And so, Chu Ge carried an expensive-looking chinchilla that he had bought on his way when he opened the door to Yan Jin’s villa.
When the door opened, he realized something was wrong. His brain that had been slowed down due to two weeks of formalin³ and the scent of blood, finally started to move.
He should have called beforehand.
For the past two weeks, he had been living like a caveman. Besides helping out with interrogations and covering up for the Nan family, he had not done anything else. However, on the outside world, that two weeks had turned everything on its head as a result of Yan Jin’s ravaging acts.
Yan Jin himself should have experienced great changes. He may have even left the country.
As he wondered, he had already halfway opened the door. Chu Ge pushed open the door open the rest of the way anyway as he took big steps into the villa.
Yan Jin was indeed not around.
Lying on the couch, covered with a thin blanket, was a young man who was teasing a cat with his left hand and browsing through a magazine with great interest with his right hand. Upon hearing the door opening, the young man turned around, revealing a face that Chu Ge had seen before.
At that moment, Chu Ge thought that he might have inhaled too much formalin that his brain was creating illusions.
“Why are you back? Did you forget something?” Xiao Yu asked. When he did not receive a response, he turned around, puzzled.
“Ah, it’s Chu Ge.”
Realizing it was the doctor, Xiao Yu got off the couch, threw the magazine onto the coffee table, pushed Faye to the side, and made some space for Chu Ge to sit. “Have a seat.”
Chu Ge looked at the floor covered with nutshells and the somewhat familiar thin blanket that was wrapped around Xiao Yu’s body. Lastly, he looked at the diamond ring that almost blinded his eyes on the ring finger that was pressed against the couch. At that moment, some famous internet slang suddenly appeared in his mind:
Don’t offend him at all costs.
“I’ll sit at the side.” In the end, Chu Ge chose the couch that was on the left side of Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu thought that Chu Ge was disgusted by the mess around him. He couldn’t help but to blush and stammered in his explanation. “These are not thrown by me. They were all eaten by Yan Jin.”
Yan Jin who was faraway in YL, sneezed twice in a row and calmly said to his subordinates, “Carry on with the meeting.”
Chu Ge studied Xiao Yu like a profound mystery and chose to remain silent.
Obviously, he would not point his finger at Xiao Yu and ask “What is a murderer like you doing here” after witnessing such a scene. Being rational was one thing, but his burning urge to gossip was another thing.
What the hell is happening? Love born from hatred? Forbidden love? Selling one’s body to repay his sin play? Or is this some kind of late-night drama where two people use fake love to dig out information and the first one to fall in love will die first?
Chu Ge started to regret that he did not give Yan Jin a call before he visited.
Xiao Yu was completely unaware that Chu Ge’s world view was on the verge of collapsing. He even happily went to pour Chu Ge a cup of hot tea.
Chu Ge looked at the drink and examined the clear water surface. He did not dare drink it.
“You came here to look for Yan Jin, right? He’s almost off work now. I’ll give him a call and ask him to drive faster.” Xiao Yu took his mobile and added, “Or if you’re in a rush, you can tell me first and I promise to convey the message to him.”
“Hmm…” Chu Ge hummed and put down the cup of tea. He said in a serious tone. “Before you do so, can I ask something about both of you?”
“About us?” Xiao Yu subconsciously thought that Chu Ge was asking about his engagement with Yan Jin. He blushed as he explained, “It’s nothing special actually. It’s more or less what Yan Jin told you.”
“…… But he did not tell me anything.”
Chu Ge grasped his own hands in front of himself and spoke solemnly, “My last impression of you, was that you’re the troublemaker who was targeted by the enemies. My job was to hand you over to Yan Jin and wait for his ruling.”
