’Beep beep beep--’
The call ended.
Li Yan leaned back in the executive chair, turning slightly as the upper part of the chair rotated with him.
He stopped, his deep eyes landing on the opposite side, and said, "You heard it!" A statement.
On the opposite brown sofa, Gong Chenli sat elegantly, holding a brown teacup, and took a sip, saying, "Kitten, with her!"
"Yes." The answer was affirmative; Gong Chenli was most aware of Xia Xi’s itinerary, so there was no need to hide it.
Li Yan placed his hands naturally crossed on the tabletop, his thin lips parting as he said, "Xia Xi somehow borrowed Gu Tong from the Academy. Where exactly are they going, what’s the purpose, and the mission level isn’t clear!"
Gong Chenli put down the cup and said plainly, "When Xia Xi was in the East District, she had contact with Gu Tiancheng. At a critical moment, she even provided information about the ’Human Tooth’ organization, the fugitives of the East District, to Gu Tiancheng. This time, she should have directly borrowed people from Gu Tiancheng."
Father-in-law...
If the order came directly from the father-in-law, it wouldn’t be surprising.
Li Yan just hadn’t expected that the father-in-law would hide this matter, causing not many people to know.
Gong Chenli’s lips tilted with a sneer, saying, "Kitten’s relationship with Gu Tong is quite extraordinary. Sometimes, even I feel a bit jealous!"
What with caring breakfast, custom mobile phones, or perhaps the fatal thirteen calls!
Everything Gong Chenli wanted, Xia Xi tried on Gu Tong. If he weren’t jealous, it’d be unbelievable.
Li Yan pressed his lips, agreeing with Gong Chenli’s view, saying, "Their affairs are indeed peculiar, but it’s not something we can intervene in right now. The specific situation needs to be handled as we go."
Some things are unavoidable; even if Li Yan wanted to inquire, there would still be many doubts. So, it’s better to maintain this relationship temporarily, knowing but not asking!
That’s how they’ve maintained such close relations for so long!
"You really are broad-minded." Gong Chenli laughed grimly; his relationship with Kitten wasn’t as stable, so he clearly wanted to know more.
If not for this reason, he wouldn’t have chosen Li Yan as his ally.
Li Yan supported his chin with one hand, his voice cold, saying, "Knowing there are tigers on the mountain, why venture into the tiger’s den? Better to control everything, targeting every move of the tiger, that’s the safest."
"..." Gong Chenli’s lips twitched; fine, this guy isn’t about stability, but manipulation, preparing for remote control, playing the strategy of seeing through without speaking.
However, even so, Gong Chenli had to admit that such a method was the most rational.
Sometimes, facing women like Xia Xi and Gu Tong, one has to choose ways of control and surveillance simultaneously.
If not, moments lost could lead to trouble.
So now they’re hitting from both sides, leaving no gaps, which is the best choice.
The two men, just like that, inexplicably collaborated, becoming friends, allies!
Gong Chenli opened his thin lips, saying, "Alright! Enough about those matters. Let’s talk about the upcoming destination for Kitten and your little woman!"
Almost instantly, the topic returned to the theme; they were ready to plan long-term.
Li Yan’s crossed hands automatically separated, raising his eyebrows, saying, "Listening intently!"
