It's a bodyguard, not a cowherd

The tip of the hair just put on is still steaming.

"Go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do, you don't come to me just to drink tea." Xiang Ruyan smiled and asked Bian Xunwen who was sitting opposite.

Bian Xunwen picked up the tea and didn't drink it in a hurry, but looked at the heat and said in a deep voice, "Zhong Shi has been released from prison."

Xiang Ruyan paused while serving the tea, he gave up serving it again, looked up at Bian Xunwen and asked, "Does Guzi know?"

"I probably don't know, after all, he doesn't understand the past." Bian Xunwen shook his head and said.

Xiang Ruyan clasped his hands tightly, sighed and said, "He knew that it was related to PTY."

Bian Xunwen frowned when he heard the words, and asked, "How would he know? All the information should have been destroyed or stored encrypted."

Xiang Ruyan turned his head to avoid Bian Xunwen's eyes, and said in a low voice, "I said it."

"Ru Yan, why are you..." Bian Xunwen sighed, waved his hands and continued, "Forget it, it's useless to worry about these things now, so how far has he understood?"

"I only told him it was related to PTY." Xiangru Yan paused, hesitated before saying, "But he seems to be investigating."

Bian Xunwen took a deep breath, then exhaled, and said, "I'll call him over later, you can talk to him and see what he finds. It's best to persuade him to give up."

Xiang Ruyan nodded, looked up at Bian Xunwen, lowered his eyes and blinked, and said softly hesitantly: "Mr. Huai seems to know too, Gu Wei is investigating the PTY matter..."

"Ru Yan..." Bian Xun said in a helpless tone, pinched the center of his brows, and said, "I'll ask Mr. Huai later, you can talk to Guzi first."

In the current situation, Xiang Ruyan can only accept this arrangement.

After seeing off Bian Xunwen, Xiang Ruyan welcomed Gu Peng soon.

"Sit down." Xiang Ruyan stretched out his hand to signal Gu Peng to sit on the single sofa opposite him, and asked him with a smile, "Can you drink tea?"

"Um, yes." Gu Yan nodded.

While pouring tea, Xiang Ruyan looked at Gu Peng who was sitting upright, and said with a smile, "May I ask what you had for breakfast today?"

Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I ate noodles."

"Did you eat at home?" Xiang Ruyan continued to ask.

"Yeah." Gu Yan nodded.

Xiang Ruyan said enviously: "Sure enough, it's very convenient to cook. I always eat the steamed stuffed bun downstairs. Even if it tastes good, I'm tired of eating it now."

"Then... I'll bring you a copy in the morning?" Gu Peng said.

Xiang Ruyan shook his head and said with a smile: "Thank you for finding a solution for me sincerely, but I just want to praise your cooking skills."

"Ah, is that so? Thank you." Gu Peng rubbed the bridge of his nose embarrassedly.

Xiang Ruyan looked at Gu Peng who was leaning on the sofa on the right side with a relaxed body, his smile deepened, and he said, "To be precise, what I said is the truth, and it's not a compliment."

Gu Yan smiled to hide his shyness, and lowered his head, not daring to meet Xiang Ruyan's gaze.

"Milk."

"Ok?"

Hearing the call, Gu Zhen subconsciously raised his head to look at the speaker, but the seriousness in Xiang Ruyan's eyes made his pupils shrink in fright.

"Do you really want to know about the PTY?"

Gu Yan lowered his eyes, turned his eyes twice on the ground, and nodded slightly.

Xiang Ruyan sighed softly, and said with a headache, "It's all my fault for making you do such a dangerous thing."

Gu Peng understood that Xiang Ruyan already knew about his investigation of PTY, so he hurriedly looked up at Xiang Ruyan and said, "It's not your fault, this is my personal decision."

"But I will show you the way."

"No." Gu Peng waved his hands and shook his head, and said hastily, "I did it myself, even if you don't tell me, I will try my best to find out."

Xiang Ruyan shook his head and said: "If it is, the cause I planted has already borne fruit, and it is useless to deny it."

Gu Zhen lowered his head and listened, clasping his hands tightly, with a sad expression on his face.

"I know this is selfish, but can you stop? Stop checking, PTY is not a kind existence." Xiang Ruyan said softly.

Gu Yan shook his head, and said softly like a breeze, "I'm sorry, but I can't stop."

"Everyone wants to have a clear conscience. I hope you stop because of such selfishness."

After Xiang Ruyan finished speaking, he looked at Gu He who was still unresponsive, lowered his eyes, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth that had no curvature. After the psychological evaluation, I basically didn't talk much after that."

Seeing Gu Peng's body move slightly, Xiang Ruyan chuckled and continued: "Because his mental state has always been very good, now that I think about it, it's because he's so invulnerable that it's even more strange."

Xiang Ruyan raised his eyes to look out of the window, the gentle sunlight still made him squint his eyes slightly, and said in a whispered tone in memory: "I always think he is someone who will not be shaken no matter what, it doesn't matter if you witness death with your own eyes, or do it yourself It doesn't matter if he kills someone, his heart won't beat because of it."

Withdrawing his gaze, Xiang Ruyan looked down at the void and said, "Now it seems that I am right, because he can ignore himself, so what can't he give up? Including - relatives."

"No!" Gu Peng suddenly raised his head, refuted loudly at Xiang Ruyan, then lowered his head and emphasized softly, "No..."

"But here's the thing, isn't it?"

"No!" Gu Zhen stood up abruptly, staring at Xiang Ruyan with tense muscles like a lion gathering strength to hunt, and retorted word by word, "Brother He is very gentle. After my parents left, I was afraid that I would be bullied. The person who rejected the orphanage and raised me while working, he is not cold-blooded!"

Xiang Ruyan calmly looked directly into Gu Peng's eyes.

Gu Peng's pupils shrank, and he suppressed his voice and said, "That's why I want to find out why my brother died? Is it silenced or..."

Xiang Ruyan sighed and said, "Your brother got into a car accident while driving away with the company's secrets after being exposed, and the driver of the big truck that hit someone went to jail because of this, isn't that clear?"

"I don't believe it was an accident, so I want to find out the real murderer." Gu Peng's eyes were firm and focused on one point.

Xiang Ruyan nodded, looked at Gu Peng with a serious expression and said, "Then I hope you can answer my question seriously. Do you simply want to know the truth, or do you want revenge?"

Gu Yan shook his head, sat down slumpedly, looked at the ground and said, "I don't know, my mind is all about finding the truth now, I don't want to and I can't think about other things."

"Okay." Xiang Ruyan said with a smile on his face again, "I believe you can make the right choice."

Looking at the hot tea that suddenly appeared in front of him, Gu Yan's hands trembled slightly, but he finally picked up the tip of the hair.

Take a sip of hot tea into your belly, refreshing your body and mind.

"Calm down?"

Holding the teacup, it felt a little hot, but it was just right for the current Gu Yan.

"Ah."

Xiang Ruyan smiled, looked up at the wall clock and said, "The next guest should be here soon."

"Really?" Gu Yan put down the teacup, looked at Xiang Ruyan and said, "Then I'll go first."

"No hurry." Xiang Ruyan pressed his hand to signal Gu Peng to sit down, and said with a smile, "Multiple people and multiple helpers, maybe you can be of great use later."

Gu Peng stared wide-eyed in disbelief, but sat back obediently.

Not long after, the door was knocked three times.

"Please come in."

Seeing the person coming in, Gu Wei called out in surprise, "Plum?"

"Eh, Guzi?" Jian Meixi, who came sideways, was also surprised.

"Let's sit down and talk."

"OK, all right."

Jian Meixi obeyed Xiang Ruyan's words and sat on another single sofa.

Gu Hen's probing eyes never moved away from Jian Meixi since he entered the door. After Jian Meixi took his seat, he couldn't help asking: "Is there any trouble for Meizi to come?"

After all, looking for Xiang Ruyan during working hours should have nothing else to do except for psychological counseling.

Jian Meixi smiled wryly and said, "It's also mine."

"What do you mean?"

Xiang Ruyan smiled and said, "Let's listen to Meizi's troubles first, and then we can figure out a solution together."

Jian Meixi waved her hand and said, "Actually, it's not a big worry. I don't know if the team leader recognizes my father, Jian Zhuzhi."

"Mr. Jian?" Xiang Ruyan put down his teacup, sat up straight, looked at Jian Meixi and said, "Sorry, I don't know him very well, and he..."

"It's okay." Jian Meixi smiled and shook her head, looked at Xiang Ruyan and said, "I didn't come here for my father's business, but for my mother."

"Ms. Xin? Is she not in a good state recently?" Xiang Ruyan said as tactfully as possible.

"It's not so much recently, it's better to say it has always been." Jian Meixi paused, and then said, "Mom, she has been stuck in the death of her father, and she doesn't contact her old friends, doesn't participate in previous activities, and doesn't continue her previous hobbies. , I just want to stay at home, as if I want to guard something."

Xiang Ruyan lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and asked Jian Meixi: "Do you want her to go out?"

"Well, I hope my mother no longer lives for me and my father." Jian Meixi nodded and said.

Xiang Ruyan looked at Gu Zhen and said, "Look, it is right to keep you, do you have any ideas?"

Gu Yan, who didn't expect to have something to do with him, froze for a moment, looked back at the smiling Xiang Ruyan and said, "I, I don't know."

Xiang Ruyan turned his head to look back at Jian Meixi indifferently and said, "Then Meizi, what do you think?"

"I think mother must be let out of the house first." Jian Meixi said.

Xiang Ruyan followed the conversation: "Well, the best way is to find something else for her to do, so that her attention can be slightly distracted."

Jian Meixi nodded.

"But what are you looking for?" Gu Yan asked.

Xiang Ruyan looked at Jian Meixi and asked, "Did Lingtang have any interests before?"

"Interested?"

Jian Meixi bowed her head, trying to think about the usual clues, because her mother was very shy about mentioning it, so she didn't have direct and accurate information.

perfume?bags?clothing?Beads... that's right!jewelry!

"I remembered, my mother seems to like jewelry, I have seen a lot of these things in her locked cabinet!" Jian Meixi said excitedly.

"A lot of jewellery!" Gu Yan looked at Jian Meixi in surprise, widening his eyes and exclaiming, "Could it be that Meizi, you are some kind of young master who experiences life at the grassroots level! No wonder you seem to be very familiar with Mr. Huai."

"No, of course not." Jian Meixi waved her hands and said with a smile, "Although my family seemed to be a well-known scholarly family in the old days, it declined as early as my grandfather's generation."

"Eh? Then why does your mother have so many, uh-collections?" Gu Peng asked suspiciously.

Jian Meixi smiled slightly, and said, "My mother used to be the eldest lady of some country M. As for why she became like this, I'm not very clear."

Gu Zhen, who realized that he had said something wrong, hastily apologized: "I'm sorry, I was talking too much."

"It's okay, it's not something shameful, and it doesn't matter if you talk about it." Jian Meixi said with a smile.

Xiang Ruyan, who had been drinking tea with his head depressed, held the tea, looked at the curling heat and said, "Then let's start with jewelry."

"Huh?" Gu Zhen and Jian Meixi looked at Xiang Ruyan suspiciously at the same time.

Gu Peng asked, "How do we do it?"

Xiang Ruyan sipped the tea, smiled meaningfully and said, "We can ask pine nuts about this."

Gu Zhen and Jian Meixi exchanged puzzled looks, but they quietly accepted Xiang Ruyan's suggestion tacitly.

Either way, it's always a good idea to ask first.
