Chapter 520 If you really want to use him as a tool, you'll have to see if Gao Ziyou is capable
Director Ke was a shrewd man. Although he wanted to get along well with Chu Yunting, he was genuinely annoyed by Li Fangfang. However, since his superior was Liu Jun, he couldn't completely ignore Li Fangfang.
So even though he knew he wouldn't benefit from either side, he still smiled and nodded, "Okay, we'll listen to Comrade Chu. We are indeed quite tired, so it's most important to eat something nearby and get some rest."
After saying that, he glanced at Chen Ping discreetly, hoping that she could quickly appease Chu Yunting and put the matter to rest.
Li Fangfang is gone, and Chen Ping naturally won't act like her, throwing a tantrum without thinking.
"Okay, everyone's tired, let's go eat now."
Chu Yunting immediately nodded and told Chen Ping to put the luggage away first before taking them to eat. However, they didn't actually eat at the guesthouse, but instead chose a state-run restaurant that wasn't far away.
……
"You mean that person might be Ge Shaoting?"
As soon as Chu Xin returned to her workplace, Zhou Yichen handed her a piece of intelligence data. After reading it, Chu Xin frowned and asked a question.
Zhou Yichen nodded silently.
Not to mention the current Ge Shaoting, even in the past he had the ability and money to hire someone to take care of the graves of his relatives in his hometown.
Chu Xin shrugged, put the few pages of paper in her hand on the table, and lazily leaned into her chair.
She didn't think it was a big deal. "So what if it is? He was just doing what a junior should do. He didn't endanger national security. Why should we arrest him?"
In this day and age, it's understandable to be hostile towards people from Taiwan, but people from Hong Kong aren't really that tense.
"Old Ge is worried that Gu Beizhan is eager to find out the truth about the sacrificial ceremony because of the Yin family father and son. This matter is a deliberate deception by enemy agents, so he attaches great importance to it."
He managed to hide it from everyone and go to great lengths to find out if he was truly repentant, perhaps…
Chu Xin glared at him, "Don't meddle. Since you chose to keep it from Elder Ge when you came back, just pretend you never knew!"
"This is none of our business, so don't interfere!"
Should Gu Beizhan be redeemed simply because he has repented?
What are you thinking!
He was wrong, and he deserved everything he was going through. Even if he wasn't friends with Ge Shaoting, Chu Xin wouldn't interfere.
Human nature is something that can't be overestimated or underestimated; it's better to just close your eyes and pretend you don't see it.
Zhou Yichen raised an eyebrow at her glare, then lowered his head to organize the intelligence documents on the table, uttering a pointed remark slowly.
"Well, I think I was the most honest one. I don't know what kind of petty thief it was, but when I went to steal from the Gu family, I didn't take anything except a few photos..."
Chu Xin's expression stiffened, then she stared at Zhou Yichen, her face showing a mixture of embarrassment and anger. "So what? So what if you found out? If you're so capable, why didn't you report me back then!"
That scoundrel! I knew I couldn't hide it from him!
Zhou Yichen kept working until he finished tidying up his things before looking up. Suddenly, he smiled and tapped the table twice with his long, handsome fingers.
His voice carried a clear hint of amusement. "So you're now saying that only officials are allowed to set fires, while ordinary people are forbidden to even light lamps?"
Chu Xin snorted twice and suddenly pressed his hand under her own slender hand. "That's what I mean. You don't agree?"
Her hand was so small, yet it pressed so firmly and heavily on Zhou Yichen's hand. He tried to move it a few times without success, so he simply gave up.
But the corners of his mouth were still turning up like crazy, so how could this not count as holding hands?
He was happy even though he was the one being pressed down.
"Of course I'm convinced. I'm convinced of whatever you did."
The main problem is that I can't argue with her, since I can't beat her.
Chu Xin abruptly withdrew her hand, her face slightly flushed. She hadn't expected the scoundrel to suddenly make such lewd remarks and even scratch her palm with his fingers.
It itches so much, she wants to hit someone.
With his hands moving at will, his five smooth, white fingers slowly tightened, and the crackling sound of bones moving was incessant. Upon hearing this sound, Zhou Yichen almost instinctively jumped up and retreated rapidly.
The chair beneath his buttocks made a screeching sound as Chu Xin's fist, carrying a gust of wind, barely stopped at the tip of his nose.
so close.
Zhou Yichen's expression was a mixture of relief and helplessness, and he slightly raised his hands in surrender.
"Okay, okay, I'll be honest, please stop hitting me."
With that little girl's sheer grit, when will he be able to break through the restrictions beyond the hand-holding mechanism?
Zhou Yichen was very distressed.
Chu Xin snorted coldly, secretly rubbing her still slightly itchy palms, and got back to the main point:
"What does Elder Ge mean?"
Zhou Yichen resumed his serious and focused demeanor, but did not sit back down.
"Old Ge didn't know that Gu Liannan was still alive and had changed his name to Ge Shaoting. Ever since Gu Beizhan secretly left Beijing for Henan Province, all his actions have been under the surveillance of the Special Branch."
Now, Ge Lao is focusing on the suspicion that enemy agents are deliberately setting a trap to lure Gu Beizhan to Henan Province, and coincidentally, the investigators have indeed found clues that this matter is related to people in Gangcheng.
Therefore, this matter concerning Ge Shaoting can no longer be kept from Old Master Ge. Otherwise, the higher-ups would continue to investigate this lead. Even if we don't say anything now, it will be found out sooner or later.
In fact, it's more than that.
With the Central Special Branch investigating, the Gu family will definitely be thrust into the spotlight again. Putting aside whether Ge Shaoting really wants Gu Beizhan dead, the Gu family will surely fall if this matter continues to be investigated.
Zhou Yichen wasn't trying to be a good person and think of Gu Beizhan's best interests; it was just that Old Master Gu couldn't take any more trouble.
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Chu Xin and continued, "Regarding the Chu Ge incident, although your family also paid a considerable price, the Gu family was indeed an innocent victim. Moreover, your grandfather has felt quite guilty towards Old Master Gu ever since that incident."
Therefore, Chu Xin, I feel that some things cannot be decided solely based on momentary hatred.
Let's just be honest about what we know, and let them decide how things develop. We have nothing to be ashamed of.
Chu Xin sighed in annoyance, "Ge Shaoting is a very loyal person, and I don't want to be a friend who goes back on his word."
Shouldn't the person who did wrong suffer? Why are we now helping him find out the truth?
So unfair.
Zhou Yichen knew exactly what she was thinking and offered another solution: "Ge Shaoting only asked that we not reveal his identity to Gu Beizhan, so let's not say anything and let Old Ge find out from somewhere else."
If Old Master Ge tells Old Master Gu and Gu Beizhan, that's their business. If he doesn't want to tell either, that's the Gu family's fate, and it has nothing to do with us.
"We're the only two people who know Ge Shaoting is Gu Liannan. Old Master Ge can still..."
Chu Xin stopped speaking before she could finish. It was indeed just the two of them before, but now there's also Assistant Zhang in Kyoto.
Although he didn't know Ge Shaoting's true identity, once you start something, you can guess most of it. Even if Assistant Zhang didn't say a word, his attitude towards Gu Beizhan alone would make people think more about it.
The people of the Central Special Branch are the best at seeing the big picture from small details and unraveling complexities.
Reaching out and pointing at Zhou Yichen, Chu Xin could only say that her previous understanding of this person was far too incomplete.
What a cold and serious old cadre image! He's clearly a cunning and sly fox.
But thinking about Gu Beizhan’s pain of learning that his son was still alive but was far away in Hong Kong and could not see him, it must be even more excruciating than it is now.
After all, the dead don't hate, but the living do.
"Alright then, you can arrange it as you see fit, but don't involve Xiao Zhang too much. Besides, he should be going back soon, so don't delay his schedule. Ge Shaoting treats him like a robot, so let's have some humanitarian empathy."
Chu Xin nodded in agreement, and Zhou Yichen was satisfied and happy. Of course, he wouldn't make things difficult for Assistant Zhang over such a small matter.
"Don't worry while I do the work."
"Alright, let's stop here. I'm going home for lunch today. When Chen Ping comes, I want to talk to your mother about having lunch together."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yichen also walked towards the office door. "Let's go together. I also need to talk to my family about Gao Ziyou's matter."
It was only then that Chu Xin remembered Gao Ziyou. "Hasn't he gone back yet?"
"He went back. When I sent Zhou Wen to Ning City to arrange people, he went back with him, saying that he was worried that Zhou Wen wouldn't do his job well."
Zhou Yichen shook his head secretly as he spoke. Gao Ziyou was so narrow-minded that even if the Gao family hadn't given up on him, he wouldn't have achieved much.
"He wants to use people but is wary of them at every turn; I suppose his family is a complete mess."
Chu Xin's words hit the nail on the head, and Zhou Yichen immediately gave her a thumbs up.
“His problem is quite complicated. I will only take care of the part we exchanged. He has to overcome his own difficulties.”
If you really want to use him as a tool, you'll have to see if Gao Ziyou is capable enough.
