Chapter 118 "Level 1"
Chapter 118 "Level 1"
Ye Xingyao could vaguely hear some of Gu Yuchen's voice in the accompanying room. But his voice was weak, and he deliberately lowered his voice, so Ye Xingyao didn't know what he was talking about.
It was just that the caller ID on her phone and Gu Yuchen's unnatural behavior just now made her feel a little nervous unconsciously.
She didn't know why, but she felt a strong sense of uneasiness lingering around her. She didn't know if she was worrying too much about Gu Yuchen, or if it was really her sixth sense that was playing tricks on her.
Ye Xingyao was flustered by this uneasy feeling. In desperation, she carefully leaned against the door and tried hard to listen to Gu Yuchen's voice on the phone, hoping to get some information from the clues.
"..."
“…What date…”
“…Is it reliable…”
"... continue tracking..."
"..."
"...Ji family..."
"……life……"
“………Don’t alarm me…”
"……Call the police……"
Call the police! Ye Xingyao clenched her palms unconsciously when she heard this word. She became even more panicked.
Who was Gu Yuchen talking to? What was his relationship with the other party? What was the matter that required the police to be called? Why did he mention life? What Ji family? Was it Ji Yan? What was the matter that required the police to be called that was related to Ji Yan? Ye Xingyao's strong uneasiness intensified. Coupled with the hesitation on Gu Yuchen's face when he answered the phone just now, as if he wanted her to avoid it, she suddenly felt that this matter was not simple.
The strong feeling of uneasiness made her eager to know what was going on. She secretly opened the door a crack, but unexpectedly saw Gu Yuchen's obviously cold eyes and his hands tightly grasping the quilt.
"Stay with me to the end."
Gu Yuchen had just finished speaking when he looked up and saw Ye Xingyao had opened the door a crack.
His eyelashes trembled slightly, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.
Ye Xingyao couldn't bear it any longer and pushed the door open. When Gu Yuchen saw her coming out, a trace of panic flashed in his cold eyes.
"Don't tell my family about this for now. As for the rest, I will handle it." Gu Yuchen said and hung up the phone.
Ye Xingyao walked towards him slowly, but she clearly saw that his eyes were fixed on some unknown place, as if he was thinking about something silently.
"What's the matter? Don't tell your family." Ye Xingyao walked up to him, frowned, and asked worriedly.
Gu Yuchen was stunned for a moment, and his hand under the quilt secretly rested on his chest and abdomen.
"Nothing, just company matters. I was afraid they would worry."
Ye Xingyao frowned, not satisfied with his answer.
"But I just heard you call the police... and mentioned the Ji family..."
"Is it...Ji Yan?"
Gu Yuchen frowned, and suddenly the pain in his stomach became even worse. He avoided her gaze twice, but he couldn't hide his painful expression and panic in his eyes.
"You heard me wrong. I didn't say to call the police. I said..."
"Don't call the police..."
Ye Xingyao didn't expect Gu Yuchen to answer her directly. Her uneasiness instantly became more serious as if it had been confirmed. But before she could say anything, Gu Yuchen explained:
"Don't worry, it's something that happened in the company before, involving some legal issues. But it's over now."
"It's over? Then why did you mention not to call the police?" Ye Xingyao seized the loophole in his words and did not intend to give up.
"Gu Yuchen, you are hiding something from me, right?"
"What on earth is going on?"
"Is it your rival?"
"Why was someone named 'Level 1' calling you just now? That's not his name, right? Who is he? What Level 1?"
Ye Xingyao asked anxiously, nervousness and worry completely surrounding her. She looked down slowly and saw that Gu Yuchen's hands on her chest and abdomen were silently exerting force.
