Oops! The sickly Mr. Gu fainted again

Chapter 23 Gu Yuchen and Ji Jie have a candlelight dinner together

After Ji Jie dressed up carefully, she sent Gu Yuchen a location. It was a western restaurant, the kind that served candlelight dinners.

Gu Yuchen arrived on time in Jin Ran's car. His phone had been bombarded by Jin Ran for several hours in a row, and he was so annoyed that he turned off his phone.

It's finally quiet, Gu Yuchen thought.

He sat in the driver's seat and took a few breaths. He had just gone through a round of hell yesterday, and today he had to deal with this pile of shit again. He smiled bitterly, what a life of hard work he had. He hadn't eaten well in recent days, and he lost too much blood last night, so he felt dizzy and his stomach hurt. His temples were throbbing, sending him a signal that he needed to rest immediately.

He closed his eyes and adjusted himself, then opened the car door and walked towards the restaurant with steady and graceful steps. Except for his slightly pale face, others could not tell that this was the man who had almost died in the emergency room yesterday.

Ji Jie had already arrived, wearing a white dress with a nice neckline and a slim waist. Gu Yuchen walked over and sat opposite her. From a distance, the two of them were a perfect match.

"I'm late," Gu Yuchen said slowly.

"No, Brother Yuchen, I arrived too early." After saying this, Ji Jie handed the menu to Gu Yuchen with shining eyes, letting Gu Yuchen see what to eat.

Gu Yuchen had no appetite to eat. Besides, he just had a stomach bleed and couldn't eat. He randomly pointed at one or two dishes on the menu page, then closed the menu and handed it to the waiter.

But when he handed over the menu, Ji Jie discovered the bruise on his right hand.

"Brother Yuchen, what's wrong with your hands? Why are they so blue?"

"I bumped into it by accident."

"Ah, does it hurt? There's a pharmacy next to you. Do you want me to buy you some medicine first?"

"No need. I've applied medicine, it doesn't hurt." Gu Yuchen answered calmly, and the girl opposite him didn't notice anything.

Gu Yuchen looked around the restaurant and felt that the atmosphere was really quiet. There was an exquisite candle lamp on each seat, emitting a refreshing fragrance. With the elegant music in the restaurant, Gu Yuchen suddenly felt that this was a good place for a date. For some reason, the face of the person who was lying next to him and peeking at him in the morning appeared in his mind.

This is really a ghost, Gu Yuchen cursed in his heart. Why is Ye Xingyao everywhere recently? Even this time when he ran out of the hospital to deal with something while sick, it was because of Ye Xingyao.

"Brother Yuchen, when will you go back?"

"Just for a few days. Take care of some things and leave when you're done."

Ji Jie pouted immediately after hearing this. She was arrogant and cool in front of outsiders, but in front of Gu Yuchen, she always acted like a childish little girl.

"My dad heard that you were here, and he wanted to invite you to my house for dinner this weekend. My aunt has been busy all day and has prepared everything. Brother Yuchen, can you leave a little later? My mom and dad said they haven't seen you for a long time." Ji Jie spoke in a soft voice, acting coquettishly to Gu Yuchen.

Gu Yuchen was about to mention the exhibition when she interrupted him. He took a sip of water expressionlessly.

"I'm afraid it won't work this time. Next time I come over and take the initiative to visit my uncle and aunt."

Ji Jie is a girl from a wealthy family after all. Even if she does things without thinking ahead, she is definitely a smart person. Gu Yuchen usually treats her indifferently and never invites her to dinner, but this time he took the initiative to invite her after the exhibition. She had already guessed that Gu Yuchen must have discovered that she had tampered with the data, so she quickly used her father as a shield. But she was not worried. She just changed the data of an ordinary classmate in the same major but different school. What's the big deal? It didn't disrupt the interests of other big guys. She felt that Gu Yuchen would not do anything to her.

"Who did it?" Gu Yuchen looked at the person opposite him and asked directly without any preparation.

"Who did you ask to do it? What are you talking about, Brother Yuchen?" Ji Jie pretended to be ignorant, but in fact, she suddenly became nervous. Because Gu Yuchen's tone was obviously very angry, as if he had come here specifically to accuse her.

"You know. Ji Jie."

Gu Yuchen's tone was not harsh, but Ji Jie could still tell that his words were about to freeze.

"Brother Yuchen...I'm sorry...I won't dare to do it again next time!"

"Oh, that's not right! There won't be a next time!" Ji Jie tried to get away with it by acting coquettishly.

At this time, the waiter started to serve the dishes. Ji Jie thanked the waiter in her heart for coming at such a good time.

"Brother Yuchen, do you want to eat this? It's delicious." She picked up a grilled mushroom with a fork and put it on Gu Yuchen's plate.

Gu Yuchen didn't seem to accept the challenge, but asked in a cold voice:

"Ji Jie, this exhibition is an international exhibition. If someone finds out that the voting system is fake, it will be a serious problem. As the only organizer, I have to bear full responsibility. Who are you looking for?"

When Ji Jie heard what Gu Yuchen said, she instantly felt that she had gotten into big trouble. She just wanted to use a "small trick" to frame Ye Xingyao, because her work only won by one vote. But she didn't expect that her impulsiveness would bring such a big trouble to Gu Yuchen, and she immediately felt that it was all over.

"Looking for...a classmate who studied computer science when I was abroad..."

Ji Jie University is one of the top ten universities in the United States. Although she was admitted by her capital, her classmates were all outstanding and worked in the national security system after graduation.

Gu Yuchen's face darkened when he heard this. It turned out to be the United States, using the American system to tamper with his group's system. If this was discovered by the National Security Bureau, he would inevitably be investigated.

"Do you know what you have done, Ji Jie?"

After hearing this, Ji Jie thought about what she had said before. Then she suddenly realized what was going on and her eyes widened.

"Well! What then? Will I be thrown into jail?"

Gu Yuchen rolled his eyes in his heart.

"Brother Yuchen, I didn't mean to do that. I didn't expect the problem to be so serious. I just changed a novice design draft, just that one! I promise, I swear I didn't touch any other data!"

Gu Yuchen's face was heavy, and he instantly felt that the situation was not good. "So, you only invaded once?"

"Yes! When the votes were announced...Brother Yuchen, please don't be angry, I was wrong, I was really wrong..."

Gu Yuchen's eyes suddenly turned cold, and his brain was working rapidly, calculating who might be the second intruder. He instantly felt cold all over. It was okay for Ji Jie, she would never reveal the data tampering. But if someone else found out about it and reported it, it would be really hopeless.

The irritability made his already uncomfortable stomach begin to stir. He pressed it gently with his hands hidden under the table, waiting for the pain to subside.

"Brother Yuchen...you should eat something first..." Ji Jie felt that she had done something wrong and was uneasy. She was timid and tried every means to make Gu Yuchen forgive her.

"I'm not hungry, you eat." Gu Yuchen looked up at Ji Jie.

"I won't hold you accountable this time, but don't let similar things happen again in the future."

After hearing this, Ji Jie nodded quickly.

"Also, be more obedient in the future and stop plotting against Ye Xingyao."

Gu Yuchen spoke in a low voice, deliberately slowing down his tone when he said the three words "Ye Xingyao". After he finished speaking, he pulled out the chair and left.

Ji Jie was left alone with her eyes wide open. She had used all her brains to think that her brother Yuchen would know Ye Xingyao, and even said harsh words to her for Ye Xingyao. She felt like she was going to explode.

Ye Xingyao, I didn't realize you were so capable that you asked Brother Yuchen to treat me to a meal just to support you. Ji Jie sneered angrily. She used a fork to thrust the steak on the table vigorously, as if she was using the steak as a way to vent her anger on Ye Xingyao.

At this time, in the secret parking lot outside the restaurant, a man carrying a SLR camera hurriedly hid after seeing Gu Yuchen coming out.

Gu Yuchen got in the car, and finally felt extremely tired. He felt dizzy and put one hand on the steering wheel and buried his head. With one hand, he stroked the pain in his abdomen, feeling the waves of pain that kept pushing to the peak.

It took him a long time to raise his head, and he tried to focus his eyes before starting the car. A thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
