Gu Yan looked at Yan Suizhi.
When Mr. Eveth told the truth of the past little by little, Yan Suizhi's eyes were always on the coffee cup in his hand, his expression was calm, and he seemed to be listening very intently.
Half of the office is made of glass, and a large amount of light is projected in, and it falls on Yan Suizhi's drooping eyelashes and eyebrows, plated with a layer of light, so that others can't see what he is thinking or what kind of thing he has. Feeling.
It was as if he was quietly listening to some unrelated story.
But the calmer Yan Suizhi was, the more worried Gu Yan was.
More than twenty years of loneliness, struggle, depression, and nostalgia that can never be seen in a long night, those who will never be seen again, the words and laughter that will never be heard again, and the old empty house that can no longer be filled... The beginning of everything , was actually taken by the words "an experiment" in an understatement.
Will you be angry? Still sad
No one can see it.
Because all of this person's emotions are inward, and the sharp knives are pointed at their hearts.
"When your mother needed genetic surgery, the alliance had more restrictions on genetic surgery than it is now. Every year, the major hospitals will be reviewed for qualifications in turn. Unfortunately, Ivy was in the review period at that time..."
The review period is generally one month, and the hospital under review is not allowed to perform any genetic surgery within that month. At that time, Yan Suizhi's mother was in very poor condition and could not wait for that month, so they went to another hospital.
Their arrangements for Yan Suizhi are always meticulous, one is absolute security, and the other is absolute confidentiality. They performed operations at the same time, but with different doctors and not in the same operating room.
Thanks to this compartmentalized arrangement, the Mansons didn't fully penetrate.
"That surgery was actually a mess," Eveth said. "They were people your parents could trust, but part of that changed. Someone was hurting you, someone was helping you. And the league tightened its DNA after that. Surgical policies, wave after wave of scrutiny, disrupted Manson's pace and distracted him. The confusion ended up being so misguided that, by chance, your identity was kept under wraps for years—"
But again, this confusion makes investigations difficult years later because there is so much interfering information.
Whether it was Yan Suizhi, Eves, or even the Manson Brothers, it was extremely troublesome to find some information from the old stories.
For elders like Devore Everth, it's hard to define the brothers Brewer and Milo.
They are arrogant and conceited, ambitious, and their behavior is completely different from that of Eves and his generation of businessmen. In terms of shrewdness, brains, and prudence, they are actually not as good as their parents, but they do not play cards according to common sense, regardless of consequences, and do not Be polite and polite.
This kind of behavior has become their protective color, so that even an old fox like Eves can't find his way at first.
"People who don't cooperate, don't keep troublesome people, and don't keep people who know too many secrets. This is probably the rule of the two brothers. Not only that, they even extended their hands to other families. We are of a certain age. , there's always going to be something wrong with that, heart, brain, and most commonly, insomnia. The medicines someone was taking at that time were very problematic. Luckily, most of us are always vigilant and don't let ourselves get too overwhelmed. Dependent on a certain drug, but there are still people who are negligent."
Elwes said: "Old Cliff is aging so fast, little Cliff took over early, and he had nothing to do with the Manson Brothers. But we couldn't figure out the right idea at the time, after all, we lived in peace for a long time. I haven't seen such a daring junior for many years."
The age difference between the Brewer and Miro brothers is not big, but there is a huge gap between them and their younger brother George Manson.
Not only in their own family, but among the peers of the major families that they have made friends with, they are the eldest and the first to stand. If the major families start to upgrade, they will be happy to see it.
Because once they are replaced, they will definitely be able to sit on the top spot.
A qualified businessman always gives himself some leeway, but they never. That's why standard businessmen like Eves were initially unsure of what they were doing.
"It's like their younger brother," Eveth said. "In fact, no matter how much old Manson favored the youngest son, it was difficult for George Manson to shake their position. But even so, they still did not intend to let that one go. Poor boy. They're so blatant about their younger brother that even Joe can tell."
But this world is amazing, and their most undisguised behavior is the least abnormal in the eyes of many people. Because the behavior of ruining brothers and sisters was put in the family struggle, I don't know when it became an expected thing.
"But they're not indiscriminate," Eveth said. "It's been almost a decade of calm, as if their ambitions have been fulfilled and they're going to stop. I was there. I saw Mr. Mervyn Bai for a while, and he knew about you again."
Mr. Everth was relieved to first learn that the deceased's son was still alive.
But he didn't move at all after that, didn't pay attention to it, didn't increase the intersection, like a complete stranger.
The old fox was shrewd and cautious. He knew that some of his actions would lead to Manson. No reaction was the best protection.
But this kind of protection is not eternal after all, and Eves once thought that the Manson brothers actually knew who Yan Suizhi was. But their temperament is unpredictable, and they haven't done anything to Yan Suizhi for a long time, maybe they think that a fish that slips through the net is not something to be afraid of.
An overly stable state often indicates that their preparations have reached a certain expected stage, and maybe everything is ready and only owed to the east wind.
This is actually the easiest time to be careless, and the easiest to reveal.
"But like you said when you came in, I'm missing something critical," Eves said.
What the old fox does best is to let the other party hand over the handle when he has no clue.
He has been operating quietly for a long time, using the natural closeness between the Ivy family and the Alliance government to create an illusion for the Manson brothers, making them feel that they are about to undergo the most difficult wave of scrutiny.
When they have a sense of crisis, they must take some action.
"What kind of action is the most appropriate?" Eveth stretched out his thumb, "The action must not be too big, and the corner or not so urgent must not be moved, because the more people and things involved, the easier it is to go wrong. , it will startle the snake."
He stretched out his index finger again, "But the most crucial evidence must be cleared."
He paused, put away his fingers and said, "In the end, they chose to move you, but this move was actually unexpected to me."
Because Yan Suizhi, on the surface, should belong to the less urgent corner, otherwise the Manson Brothers should have started a long time ago and would not have stayed until now.
"I'm inclined to have something about you that the Manson Brothers didn't realize, but suddenly discovered," Eveth said. "But unfortunately, I'm still investigating this, and I haven't come to a conclusion yet."
…
The chat went on for a long time.
By the time the three of them came out of the office, it was almost evening.
"We're done talking? We're all hungry." Eunice forcibly hooked his brother's neck and took the lead to greet him, "I called the waiter, let's have dinner together?"
Devo Evers nodded, turned to look at Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan inquiringly.
At this time, Yan Suizhi didn't look any different. He smiled and was about to speak, but felt that Gu Yan's downed hand grabbed him tightly and then released it.
"Sorry, we still have some things to deal with." Gu Yan said.
"In a hurry?" DeVore Everth asked. "Going now?"
Yan Suizhi moved his fingers and nodded, "I'm afraid it is."
It was not the first day for everyone to deal with lawyers, and it was not surprising that this situation was the case. And Devo Evers rarely asks the bottom line. He smiled and patted Gu Yan and Yan Suizhi on the shoulders and said, "Write this down first, and make up for it later."
Yan Suizhi: "Definitely."
"Let a special car take you back." Eunice said that she was about to make arrangements.
Gu Yan rushed to her and raised his finger on the smartphone, "The shuttle has arrived."
"Arrived?" Eunice glanced out the floor-to-ceiling window, and saw a black shuttle car with its dark blue autopilot lights on, driving through the botanical garden and grassland. She smiled angrily, "You're really—hey, forget it. Then you guys pay attention to safety, see you later."
The shuttle stopped silently outside the villa, and the dark blue light flashed a few times, indicating that it had stopped at the destination.
Gu Yan and Yan Suizhi said goodbye to everyone and got into the car. The destination was re-adjusted to the garden in the city. The autopilot light flashed twice, and the car turned smoothly on the way out of the hotel.
Yan Suizhi sat down on the co-pilot, turned his head and raised his eyebrows at Gu Yan and asked, "What's the urgency, so mysterious?"
There were no lights in the car, and the lights from outside the car were reflected on the window panes that were visible on one side.
Street lights, car lights, and night lights of street shops blazed into pieces at extreme speeds.
Gu Yan paused his fingers to adjust the driving settings, and turned his head in the dim light, his eyes swept across Yan Suizhi's eyes and landed on the corners of his cocked mouth.
He watched silently for a moment, then reached out and wiped it, and said, "Stop laughing if you feel uncomfortable."
After a while, he felt the curved corners of his lips under his thumb slowly loosen, and finally became straight.
"Actually, it's fine..." Yan Suizhi said.
As the smile faded, his face turned pale, and the folds between his brows were also revealed. He lowered his eyes and adjusted the seat pattern, then grabbed Gu Yan's hand, closed his eyes and whispered, "I slept for a while, but my head and stomach have been hurting."
