Oops! The sickly Mr. Gu fainted again

Ye Xingyao was absent-minded in the dormitory. She had just told Jiang Zhi everything that had happened in the past few days, in great detail.

Jiang Zhi looked at her listless and decadent appearance, feeling both distressed and angry.

"I didn't expect that you, Brother Ji Yan, are so sinister. I can't tell at all!"

"You had a crush on him when you were little! You always said he was gentle and kind, but he actually did something like this."

"Oh, it's okay, Yaoyao, don't worry. He's the famous Mr. Gu Yuchen from our City A. He's very rich and powerful. If we touch him, we're afraid that it will affect the economy of City A. It will be fine, don't worry."

Jiang Zhi naturally couldn't guarantee whether Gu Yuchen was really fine. After all, she had been brainwashed by the news. Looking at the "evidence" that made her seem solid, she even thought that Gu Yuchen was that kind of person.

But her rule is "Best friends always come first, please refer to the previous rule in case of special events", so she had to go against her conscience and stand on Ye Xingyao's side unconditionally.

But Ye Xingyao didn't hear Jiang Zhi at all. She was watching the video of Gu Yuchen being asked questions by reporters at the airport today, and she was worried and nervous.

She clearly saw Gu Yuchen's pale lips in the video. She was worried whether he could rest well in the next few days, and what would happen if he got sick.

At this time, Ji Yan called on WeChat.

"Brother Ji Yan!" Ye Xingyao picked up the call almost in a second.

"Yao Yao..."

"Did you get back to school safely?"

Ji Yan still asked in a soft tone.

"Brother Ji Yan, please withdraw the news!" Ye Xingyao went straight to the point and did not answer Ji Yan's question.

Ji Yan was obviously shocked on the other end of the phone and didn't speak for a few seconds.

He knew Xingyao came to him because of Gu Yuchen, but he didn't expect her to be so anxious and impatient. She even insisted that he did it without any evidence.

A complex emotion spread from his heart.

"Yaoyao...if I say it wasn't me, would you believe it?"

Ji Yan now just wanted to see if Ye Xingyao would believe in him unconditionally, just like she believed in Gu Yuchen unconditionally.

"Brother Ji Yan, please withdraw the news. Gu Yuchen is not like that..." Ye Xingyao said in a pleading tone.

At this moment, Ji Yan felt his heart suddenly feel as cold as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.

Why? The news about Gu Yuchen was so detailed, and every explosive point was supported by very logical cases and factual analysis, but despite this, she felt that Gu Yuchen was not that kind of person.

But why did she conclude that it was him without any basis? Was it just based on that meal that day? Just because he discovered that Gu Yuchen had tampered with the data?

Ji Yan held the phone and closed his eyes. Even though he really intended to expose the media, he was still unwilling to accept Xingyao's distrust of him.

"Yaoyao, if you are willing to trust me, I can consider helping him."

"But if you still think I did it, then there's nothing I can do."

Ji Yan and Gu Yuchen have always been rivals who are cooperating on the surface but competing against each other in private. If Gu Yuchen is really found to have problems and falls into disgrace this time, he would naturally be most willing to see this situation. But the current situation is no longer a problem for Gu Group alone. This wave of business news has expanded rapidly in just one day, and several of the top companies, including his, are also on the verge of being affected.

For the purpose of saving himself, he could only help Gu Yuchen first.

"What do you mean...Brother Ji Yan...didn't you do it?" Ye Xingyao suddenly felt a little confused.

"If you don't believe it, you can just assume that I did it." Ji Yan replied coldly.

Ye Xingyao began to gradually realize the seriousness of the situation. If it wasn't Ji Yan who did it, then who could it be?

She thought that if it was Ji Yan who did it, she could ask Ji Yan to stop, and the matter could stop there. Or she hoped that it was Ji Yan who did it, so that she could feel that she still had a little power to control the direction of the situation. But if it was not Ji Yan who did it, then she would become a bystander and could only watch the incident go deeper and deeper.

"I'm sorry, Brother Ji Yan, I'm just a little anxious because the news happened to be exposed after we had dinner together that day..." Ye Xingyao also realized at this time that her tone was a little inappropriate. She was indeed making inferences based only on her own guesses.

"Has anyone appeared around you recently?" Ji Yan ignored Ye Xingyao's apology and asked directly.

"No."

"What about Gu Yuchen? Do you know who he has been in contact with in the past few days?"

Ye Xingyao thought about it and realized that Ji Yan had used two rounds of drinking to get Gu Yuchen into the hospital. Apart from seeing her and Jin Ran in the hospital these days, Gu Yuchen even sneaked out of the hospital to have dinner with Ji Jie. It was Ji Yan who told her about it that day. Why was he asking her about it now?

"No..."

"Yaoyao, this incident is more serious than I thought. Gu Yuchen must have been followed and investigated recently. You should be careful recently. If a reporter comes to ask you questions, don't say anything first. Don't reveal your relationship with him. Also, try not to go out unless it's important."

Ye Xingyao suddenly felt a little strange. Why did Ji Yan say the same thing as what Gu Yuchen said when he got off the plane today? Also, she herself didn't know what her relationship with Gu Yuchen was now. Besides, wasn't Gu Yuchen the person involved in this incident? What did it have to do with her? Why did they tell her not to tell the reporters? Besides, the reporters wouldn't find her.

"Brother Ji Yan, is it that exaggerated?" Ye Xingyao was a little puzzled.

Ji Yan was silent for a few seconds, then slowly said, "Anyway, it's better to be careful."

The moonlight at night shines on the building of Gu Group, making this high-rise building look even more prosperous.

Gu Yuchen was in his office reviewing the response plans prepared by the Public Relations Department and the Legal Department for each exposure point. His dark eyes looked deep and unfathomable under the lights of the night. His pale face looked even more bloodless at this moment.

He closed his eyes and frowned, looking a little tired, pressed his temples with one hand, leaned back in his chair and rested for a few seconds. Then he called the secretary's landline on his desk.

"A cup of black coffee. I need tomorrow's audit materials by 3 o'clock."
