Chapter 38: The venomous director prefers the cold and beautiful agent
After finishing the call with Lin Yi, Ye Shaochen sent a message to Gu Linyi.
"Call me back when you have time."
I guess Ye Shaochen only talks more when he is talking to Cheng Xue. He is really frugal with words when talking to others!
During the lunch break, Gu Linyi saw Ye Shaochen's message. After finishing his meal, Gu Linyi called Ye Shaochen.
"Third Master, what happened?" Gu Linyi asked after the call was connected.
"Xiao Yuying should know of your existence. The person you are looking for has also been found. He is in Southeast Asia, but my people came back empty-handed. I suspect he may have returned to China." Ye Shaochen had roughly guessed from Lin Yi's few words why the people he sent came back empty-handed.
Gu Linyi was silent for a while, then said, "You can tell Lu Zeheng my news. Also, remind him of the existence of the killer and hint at the cause of my mother's death. How is the Xiao family's overseas funds going?"
"We don't need to worry about this. We just need to force the Xiao family to take risks, and someone will naturally uproot the Xiao family."
Ye Shaochen said it casually and easily, and Gu Linyi already knew what to do.
"Give me two reliable people. If the killer returns to China, he will definitely come after me. It happened 20 years ago, and the evidence will definitely be gone. Then I will be the bait and create a new opportunity for him to get in."
As he said this, the gloomy and violent aura surrounding Gu Linyi was clearly revealed.
"Tomorrow the person you want and the assistant I arranged for Cheng Xue will arrive at the crew together. I will inform you in time if there is any new news."
"Thank you, Third Master."
After they hung up the phone, Gu Linyi looked at the barren desert in the distance with a complicated expression. In his mind was all the things Lu Zeheng had done to him after he returned to the Lu family in his previous life.
Gu Linyi has complicated feelings towards Lu Zeheng. Although it was only a short year after he returned to the Lu family in his previous life, Lu Zeheng was truly kind to him.
That year, Lu Zeheng trained him as his successor, otherwise Gu Linyi would not have known about Ye Sanye and asked Xie Yan to contact him for cooperation.
That year, Lu Zeheng brought Gu Linyi to meet almost all of his confidants and important partners. Ye Sanye was a very important partner among them, and he was also the guarantee that Lu Zeheng had prepared for many years to completely remove the obstacle of the Xiao family for Gu Linyi.
Therefore, Gu Linyi knew how important he and his mother were to Lu Zeheng, and he also knew that Lu Zeheng would do whatever it took to deal with the Xiao family after learning the cause of his mother's death. However, Lu Zeheng was the culprit who killed his mother, and he could not calmly forgive him on behalf of his mother.
The crew members had finished their meal and were ready to start filming, but everyone looked at Director Gu who was lonely and gloomy in the distance, and no one dared to disturb him.
Gu Linyi collected his thoughts and turned around to see everyone staring at him, feeling awkward but not wanting to go up and disturb them.
He strode over and simply said "Let's get started". Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, returned to their seats, and started filming again.
When Lin Yi was video chatting with Gu Linyi in the evening, she clearly felt that Gu Linyi was in a low mood. She probably guessed the reason and complained deliberately to make Gu Linyi happy.
"Ayi, you've really spoiled me. Today, I came back to my little nest and just cleaned it up, and I collapsed from exhaustion."
When Lin Yi said this, her tone was delicate and coquettish, and she tried her best to act coquettishly and cutely.
Sure enough, Gu Linyi was amused and said lovingly, "I've handed over the financial power to you, why don't you find a housekeeper to clean up? I still have to stay in the desert for ten days, I'll let Sister Li go over to take care of you."
"No need. Where will Sister Li live if she comes over? Besides, she has to take care of her grandson. I'm just complaining a little. I'm not that squeamish." Lin Yi refused immediately, otherwise Gu Linyi might really let Sister Li come over.
"Yes, our Yiyi is the most independent and capable."
"Of course!" Lin Yi looked very proud.
Gu Linyi's expression suddenly became serious, and he asked in a low voice.
"Yiyi, I have never told you about my life story. Do you want to hear it?"
"I will listen to what Ayi wants to say. It's okay if he doesn't want to say it. To me, you are just Gu Linyi, the man I love."
Lin Yi's sincere confession finally brought a smile to Gu Linyi's face.
"I am an illegitimate child. My father is Lu Zeheng. You should have heard of him! When he met my mother, he was already married with children, but he still deceived my mother's feelings. They should have both been looking forward to my arrival. Shouldn't I feel lucky?"
Gu Linyi paused and gave a bitter smile. Lin Yi did not speak. At this moment, Gu Linyi only needed a listener, and she only needed to be a good listener quietly.
"After my mother learned that Lu Zeheng had a family, she decisively left him. I said that when I have free time, I will take you to the town where I lived when I was a child. That is where I was born. My mother and I lived there for six years. Although my memories are limited, most of them are warm and happy scenes."
At this point, Gu Linyi's expression softened a lot, but soon became gloomy and angry again.
"But even if we fled and hid, there were still people who wouldn't let us go. I witnessed my mother falling from the upstairs and dying in front of me. At the time everyone told me she committed suicide, but I didn't believe it. She loved me so much, how could she bear to leave me."
Gu Linyi was extremely emotional. He was probably recalling the scene of Gu Qing's death. Lin Yi quickly interrupted him.
"Ayi, don't think about it. Everything is over. You have me and your good brother Xie Yan now. We will all be fine and live happily in the future."
Lin Yi's soothing words calmed Gu Linyi down a bit. Gu Linyi looked at Lin Yi on the screen affectionately, even reaching out to touch Lin Yi on the screen, and spoke in a low voice.
"Yiyi, I miss you!"
"Ayi, I miss you too. After I finish arranging things here, I will go to visit the crew." Lin Yi showed a bright and confident smile, and pouted her lips to make a kissing expression.
Gu Linyi was amused and his voice became clearer.
"Okay, I'll wait for Yiyi." Gu Linyi paused for a moment and then said, "I may be going back to the Lu family soon, and some things should be settled. Yiyi, when everything is settled, can we get married?"
Under Gu Linyi's expectant gaze, Lin Yi loudly replied "yes", but immediately added: "Although I agreed, you owe me a romantic proposal."
Looking at Lin Yi's proud little appearance, the haze in Gu Linyi's heart was completely cleared, and he nodded happily and said, "Okay!"
The two of them stayed together for a while before hanging up the video call.
Lin Yi lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling, and asked Tangyuan.
"Tangyuan, can I stay with Gu Linyi until old age?"
Lin Yi responded seriously to Gu Linyi's proposal just now, but she was afraid that she would not be able to control whether she would stay or go.
"Master, of course you can do it if you are willing. The fusion of the energy body pendant depends on your consciousness. So even if Gu Linyi gives you the energy body pendant willingly, you don't want to leave. As long as you don't fuse the two energy body fragments, it will be fine."
After listening to Tang Yuan's explanation, Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "How do I calculate the time in this plane of space and the time in the original world?"
"Master, your time limit in any plane is two months. That is to say, no matter how long you stay in this plane, only two months will pass in the original world."
That was fine. If it took too long, how sad would the parents in the original world be when they saw their daughter in a vegetative state? Lin Yi was even more afraid that after she completed her mission and woke up, her parents would be gone.
