Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 244 Family and Country in Dire Straits (14)

Gu Yao had just returned home when the Yan family arrived at his door.

Gu Yao looked at the person in front of him and raised an eyebrow slightly. "What's wrong?"

The man below said respectfully, "Mr. Gu, I was sent by the young master. He said that tomorrow is a day off, so there's no need for me to come."

The young man's eyes shifted slightly. "I understand."

Only after the maid from the Yan family left the door did Gu Yao lower his eyes.

0529 emerged from behind the screen, looked at Gu Yao, and asked with some doubt, "Host, weren't you going to investigate the Yan family?"

Why did you agree so easily?

Gu Yao tapped the cup lid lightly. "After what was embarrassing yesterday, it's natural to shut yourself in and clean up the mess today. Just wait, this is going to be a long story."

"Besides, there will still be opportunities to investigate the Yan family, so there's no rush."

The Yan family has only one male member, Yan Yu.

Naturally, everyone wants to compete for it.

But no new babies have been born for so many years.

It's not obvious whose fault it is.

Since the Chen family has emerged.

Then there must be someone from the Li and Zhang families.

When Yan Xi returned to his residence and learned of this, there was still a lot of trouble to come.

Gu Yao took a sip of tea.

She lowered her eyes.

Yan Xi has always been strong and healthy.

Since his first wife passed away, he has had no children for many years.

It seems that Yan Yu's biological mother is not a naive and innocent person after all.

They also know how to leave the greatest security for their children.

Be a smart one.

It was precisely because Yan Yu had been the only child in the Yan family for so many years that he was able to survive in that deep mansion, amidst the scheming and infighting of a group of women.

Thinking of this, Gu Yao thought of Yan Yu again.

He seems to be in good health.

It seems they've been doing alright materially all these years.

Thinking of this, I put down my teacup.

0529 scratched his head in confusion.

Humans are indeed quite complex.

He still needs to work harder.

Xiao Jiu silently took out her notebook and wrote it down.

***

Sure enough, the next day the Yan family sent someone to inform Gu Yao that he didn't need to go for the next few days.

0529 looked at Gu Yao with some surprise.

Gu Yao pursed his lips and smiled.

"Let them make a fuss. It will take a few more days. Xu Qing is coming to Jinbei tomorrow, and he should have taken care of your identity by then."

0529 nodded blankly.

Looking at his stupid system's blank and dazed appearance, Gu Yao sighed.

"Xiao Jiu, you must remember, you are now my adopted younger brother, named Gu Jiu. In four months, you will eventually leave with me and will not stay in Jinbei."

Therefore, this identity must be made to be flawless.

He believed in Xu Qing's abilities.

Since I've agreed to this task, I'll naturally do my best.

He was just waiting to see Xu Qing tomorrow.

***

Looking at the brown paper file folder on the table, Gu Yao yawned loudly.

He rested his chin on his hand, squinting at the person in front of him. "Xu Qing, why are you here so early?"

Xu Qing patted the water droplets off his clothes and looked at the lazy person in front of him, and he really felt like the emperor wasn't worried but the eunuch was.

He spent the entire month handling this matter for others, while also worrying about whether Gu Yao's child would be discovered.

Given the current situation, a blond-haired, blue-eyed foreign child is far too sensitive.

He picked up the teacup on the table, but Gu Yao gently pressed down on the back of his hand.

"The tea has gone cold, so I asked Xiao Jiu to make you a cup of hot tea."

Xu Qing raised an eyebrow and put down her teacup as Gu Yao did. "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Gu Yao rubbed his forehead helplessly. "I only brewed you a cup of fresh tea because I saw that Young Master Xu didn't like drinking cold tea last time. This tea was a gift from the Yan family, top-quality Biluochun. You got a good deal."

"Hey, here I am."

Xu Qing looked up and saw a harmless and gentle boy carrying a tray, carefully entering the room with his head down and not saying a word.

Only when the cup of tea was placed in front of Xu Qing did Xu Qing come back to her senses and look at the person who was shrinking behind Gu Yao again.

"Gu Yao, are you exploiting child laborers?"

The system, which is over a hundred years old: ...

This served as a reminder that he wasn't a tough guy.

I hate people who lack a sense of boundaries.

"Isn't this to let Xiao Jiu thank our young master Xu? After all, without your help, Xiao Jiu would still be an unregistered person."

Xu Qing picked up her teacup and gave a haughty snort, "At least you have a conscience."

Gu Yao looked at the person, shook his head and smiled.

She's so easy to fool.

A cup of hot tea can soothe a person's fur.

Gu Yao opened the leather bag, which already contained the forged identity that Xu Xuqing had provided.

Xu Qing put down his cup, tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, and smiled easily. “You’re lucky. There’s a foreign couple from Shanghai who just died in northern Shanxi. They came back to pick up their child, but they were caught in a shooting here. Nobody knows what their child looks like. We can work on that.”

"It just so happens that the couple were both single, so it would be best if the child could be adopted. In addition, they both work in Shanghai, where the Xu family's influence is also largely present, which is why this matter was handled so smoothly."

It is flawless.

With a perfect cover identity, there's no need to worry about fabricating an identity out of thin air and having any mistakes discovered.

Gu Yao didn't ask how the child was doing. Since Xu Qing didn't mention it, it was probably gone.

He nodded, feeling much lighter after days of feeling the weight on his heart.

"Thank you very much, Xu Qing."

Xu Qing showed no expression upon hearing this.

"Ah Yao, this world is chaotic, you must protect yourself."

Gu Yao nodded. "I know."

Xu Qing looked at the lazy Gu Yao, pursed her lips, and persuaded him again: "A Yao, why don't you come back to Shanghai with me?"

Northern Shanxi is in chaos. I heard that the Yan family member has recently gotten involved with someone there again. Things are about to change.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yao paused slightly as he tapped the table.

"I know, but the Yan family hired me, and I accepted, so naturally I have to complete the task."

Xu Qing was getting a little anxious, "Why are you so stubborn!"

Gu Yao smiled nonchalantly, "You've known I'm stubborn for a while now, you should get used to it."

The young man's gaze remained unwavering, and he even... yawned.

Xu Qing: ...

All the emotions I had just built up were gone.

Looking at the carefree person in front of her, Xu Qing sighed softly.

That's good, at least we won't encounter so many unpleasant things.

Xu Qing hadn't held out much hope.

Now I've finally given up completely.

He stood up and patted Gu Yao on the shoulder, "Then take good care of yourself. At most six months, Jinbei will be in chaos, so you must leave in advance."

Gu Yao turned his head to look at the hand on his shoulder, then looked up at the worried young man in front of him, lowered his eyes, and yawned lazily.

"I know, don't you have something to do and need to rush back to Shanghai? Hurry up and go."

Looking at Gu Yao, who was leaning back in his chair as if he had no bones, and then at his hand waving in the air with disgust, Xu Qing reached out and punched Gu Yao's shoulder, laughing and scolding, "You heartless bastard, you use me and then throw me away. I'm leaving, take care of yourself."

Gu Yao lazily got up, yawning, "Shall I see you off?"

Looking at the person whose eyes were almost closed, Xu Qing felt quite helpless.

"Sigh, no need. Go take a nap. You look like you can barely open your eyes. I'm afraid you'll fall and die when you cross the threshold."

Gu Yao didn't stand on ceremony and turned to walk towards his room. Xu Qing watched as that slender hand swayed weakly in the air twice before slowly falling down.

"Well then, take care."

He really is a heartless person.

Xu Qing shook his head and chuckled, then turned and walked towards the door.
