Chapter 638 Be prepared!
Chu Yunting quickly shoveled down a couple of mouthfuls of rice, then looked up at her and continued with a grin, "No way, no way. I rarely have any free time these days, and I've only met him once."
Now it was Zhou Yichen's turn to ask, "And then he never contacted you again? How could he possibly move his mother's grave so easily when he was all alone in a foreign place?"
Kyoto, in particular, is where the Gu family lives.
Chu Yunting looked at him strangely, "That's not what you call moving graves."
Saying that the relocation of the grave was just for the sake of sounding nice, judging from Ge Shaoting's actions, he clearly wanted to secretly dig it up.
Chu Xin's eyes flickered slightly. "Could it be that the Gu family has discovered him?"
Considering Ge Shaoting's purpose in coming to Kyoto, Zhou Yichen still told Chu Yunting his true identity over the phone, so as to prevent Chu Yunting from doing something too outrageous in the heat of the moment and having trouble handling it. He only asked him to provide Ge Shaoting with reasonable assistance when needed.
Moreover, with Ge Shaoting's face, if he didn't hide it, anyone who knew Yin Yin and Gu Beizhan would be stunned when they saw him.
Ge Shaoting's appearance combines the best features of both of them, making him very recognizable. His own temperament is also very distinctive, perhaps... he will be noticed as soon as he appears.
Zhou Yichen's initial plan was exactly that: to simply lead the way without getting involved, letting things unfold naturally.
Thinking about it, Chu Xin glanced at Zhou Yichen, a hint of schadenfreude flashing in her eyes. Things didn't seem to be developing as she had expected. Perhaps before arriving in Kyoto, Elder Ge had already guessed Ge Shaoting's identity.
After all this time, the Special Branch must have obtained Ge Shaoting's photo by now. I believe that while he was shocked, he probably wanted to give Zhou Yichen, the person who had secretly helped Ge Shaoting, a good talking-to.
It's just that Ge Shaoting was too young and didn't expect Zhou Yichen to be so adept at playing both sides, guiding the Special Branch to investigate in Hong Kong while simultaneously helping him make a smooth trip to the mainland without batting an eye.
A classic double agent.
Chu Xin realized this, and Zhou Yichen, a beat slower, quickly followed suit, his expression shifting for a moment as he pondered whether he should go to report to Elder Ge again that afternoon.
Chu Yunting, for some unknown reason, chuckled, shook his head, and said in a low voice with an expression that said, "You all don't know, do you?"
"He's quite a character. He really did dig up his mother's grave, but he was caught red-handed right then and there. Do you think he's stupid? Even if he had asked around when he came to Kyoto, he wouldn't have been so reckless as to go straight to the cemetery and start doing that. Most of the people buried there are people of some status, and the caretakers are very alert and perceptive. If they didn't catch him, who would they catch?"
I would never do something so brainless, but considering Ah Qiang's idiotic personality, Ge Shaoting's level shouldn't be too bad either. I even thought he was quite imposing back then.
Nobody knows where he is now, but I don't think it'll be too bad. It's just digging up his own mother's grave; what serious crime could he have committed? The trouble lies with his background.
Chu Xin paused, her chopsticks still as she picked up some food, and tilted her head to look at Zhou Yichen. "The person you sent for him really just led the way without revealing a single extra word!"
Zhou Yichen didn't know what to say. It was true that he gave the order, but it was also puzzling that Ge Shaoting acted so rashly without any planning. Given his intelligence, he shouldn't have done something so stupid.
However, he had no choice but to confess to Elder Ge; there was no way to hide it. He would eventually find out what had happened, so he resigned himself to his fate and said, "There must have been something we don't know about. I'll know everything when I see Elder Ge at work this afternoon."
Chu Xin felt a sudden itch in her heart. Should she ask for leave again in the afternoon or stay at the office to wait for the first-hand fresh gossip?
Jia Zhenyan had remained silent since the meal began, only listening to their idle chatter as he ate. Reflecting on his own confused experiences, and comparing this familial-like interaction, he was once again certain that he and those three hypocritical people had never been friends.
Because he was thinking about other things, he only heard the gist of their conversation, so he was a little confused when he heard the later parts.
Then the other three heard him ask, "Ge Shaoting? What's his relationship with Old Master Ge? Is he his grandson?"
He was genuinely puzzled. Back in Hong Kong, he had been limping from the moment he arrived until he left, and he rarely went out. He had no idea who Zhou Yichen and Chu Xin were meeting outside.
Chu Yunting had only met Ge Shaoting once, and he didn't know him at all.
Upon hearing his question, Chu Xin realized that Ge Shaoting shared the same surname as Old Ge, and those who didn't know the situation might indeed assume that the two were related.
"They have no connection. Ge Shaoting wasn't originally surnamed Ge. But this has little to do with us. Just take it as a joke."
Chu Yunting gave Jia Zhenyan a casual explanation.
As he spoke, he turned to look at Zhou Yichen, his voice carrying a hint of amusement, "Old Ge asked me, and luckily I really didn't know anything. It was only because you called Ge Shaoting before he went to Kyoto that I was able to come here looking like a complete idiot."
As for you, Old Ge definitely won't let you off easily, so be prepared.
