Chapter 144 Casting a Net
Chapter 144 Casting a Net
Chester was always full of guilt towards Yan Suizhi because of the splashing of water, so during the whole dinner, as the chef, he kept piling the best food on Yan Suizhi's dinner plate.
In the eyes of Mrs. Kitty Bell, these guests are all children, especially Yan Suizhi who looks the youngest.So when she was serving snacks and fruits, she put a lot more on Yan Suizhi's dinner plate with a loving face.
And awkward Joshua Dale...
And Rosie Dale, who just joins in the fun.
In short, with the joint efforts of these four people, Yan Suizhi's dinner plates were piled up like a mountain. According to the naked eye, it was probably three times his usual food intake.
"..."
The hospitality is hard to come by, Professor Yanda smiled and picked up the tableware, his face turned green.
The old lady Kitty felt sorry for these busy young people, and she always asked Gu Yan, "Is there a lot of work, do you sleep very little, eat on time, how is your health?"
The old man's memory is not very good, and he will repeat it occasionally.
Gu Yan didn't talk much, but he was extremely patient.Even if it is a question that has been answered before, when asked again, he will still answer calmly as if he heard it for the first time.
Professor Yanda, who cares about students, would always secretly stuff food from his own plate into his plate when he looked up to answer the old lady's questions, like a conscientious hamster porter.
Once the old lady stopped talking, Professor Yanda would start a new one calmly.
So Gu Yan was dragged to chat again, and someone started to secretly transport food again.
At first, Lawyer Gu turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it very cooperatively.
To be honest, he actually enjoys this little private gesture.
Until someone took advantage of this connivance and moved the "whole mountain" over with a calm face.
"..."
Taking advantage of Kitty Bell and the others being amused by Master Qiao, Gu Yan took the time to look at his dinner plate. After a moment of silence, he raised his eyelids and asked calmly, "Mr. Yan, do you think I'm blind?"
Professor Yan looked at him with his chin propped up, pretended to be innocent for two seconds, and finally couldn't hold back the sheepskin, and smiled with his eyes bent.
Gu Yan resignedly picked up the fork.
……
It was not too late when I came out of Joshua Dale's house, and the low-rise residential area was full of lights.
Coming out of the alley, the sound of people and cars on Shuangyue Street came to my face.Obviously, the distance is only a dozen or so steps away, like two completely different and irrelevant worlds.
As far as Master Qiao himself is concerned, he is obviously more used to places like Shuangyue Street.
But standing on the street, he couldn't help but look back at the dilapidated alley behind him, and muttered, "The atmosphere in that little ghost's house is really good, I'm actually a little reluctant to leave."
In fact, I just had a very ordinary dinner and chatted about some unrelated gossip.In order to take care of the old lady's deteriorating hearing, they occasionally need to repeat some sentences and deliberately raise the volume.
But everyone is relaxed.
Even Ke Jin seemed to be in good shape.
"Ke Jin seems to be getting better. Look, he even gave me a piece of candy." Qiao threw the little thing in his hand happily again, showing off for the 180th time.
"I'm not a goldfish, I have a decent memory, and I just happen to have eyes." Lawyer Gu pushed him into the car while pushing him, like putting a stupid roe deer into a cage.
The car door slammed shut, and Joe poked his head out of the half-open window, "Aren't you two getting in the car?"
"Let's go around for a while." Gu Yan paused, then added with a paralyzed face, "Xiaxiaoshi."
Joe couldn't help laughing, and said with the car window open, "You have today too."
"..."
Gu Yan pressed the start button for him expressionlessly, and drove him away with Ke Jin.
The residence Qiao arranged was on the other side of Shuangyue Street, close to a river beach, but it was actually very close, walking along the straight Shuangyue Street, it took 5 minutes to get there.However, Gu Yan made a detour and picked a road along the river.
Compared with Shuangyue Street, this detour along the riverside walkway looks much deserted.Except for a few sporadic young couples who were a little leisurely and took a walk around the river, they were still far apart, and there were no people on the long sidewalk.
Yan Suizhi walked a few steps, and suddenly stretched out his hand towards Gu Yan, with the palm facing up, his slender and beautiful fingers curled slightly, like an elegant invitation.
Gu Yan raised his eyebrows.
"It is said that there is an acupuncture point on the hand, and pressing it can help digestion." Yan Suizhi said it as if it was true, "I will try it."
Some professors once said that they don't know anything about acupuncture points, and if you believe them, you will be a ghost.
Gu Yan put his hands in his pockets, looked down at the invitation, and then stretched out a hand to hold it, fingers interlocking.
The winter in the wine city is very deep, but fortunately there is no wind by the river, and it is not cold.
The two walked for a walk and were not in a hurry to go back to the hotel.
"Before in the orphanage, your state was a bit abnormal." Gu Yan said, "When the old director was talking about the consortium, you were distracted many times."
"So obvious? I always hide my distractions very well."
"Who gave you the illusion?" Gu Yan held the man's hand very warmly, but he still spoke unceremoniously.
Yan Suizhi let out a dissatisfied "tsk".
"What's wrong with the old dean's words?" Gu Yan asked.
Yan Suizhi shook his head: "That's not true, it's just... It may be a bit difficult to get information from the people behind that consortium."
"how?"
"Because one of the two anonymous collaborators is no longer alive." Yan Suizhi said, "The other has too little information, so it's a bit difficult to find out."
Already dead?
Before Gu Yan could react from his determined words, the smartphone rang.
The person who came to correspond was the old dean, and he came to tell Gu Yan that he had already received a reply from a friend, obtained some documents and materials from the anonymous person, and was sending them to Gu Yan.
The transmission efficiency is very high. As soon as the communication is hung up, the package file interface pops up.
Gu Yan glanced at Yan Suizhi, and clicked in directly.
The screen of his smartphone was shared with Yan Suizhi, so both of them could clearly see what was displayed.
The documents sent by the old dean are not small, there are about a dozen of them, most of them are the feedback of the confirmation letter of funds, some of them are thank you letters, and two sunshine bills that seem to be fine.
The file contains the information of the old dean:
- Information about Anonymous is mostly classified.This is the limit I can get, I hope to provide you with a little help.Also, I'm sorry for the man you call "the scavenger", after all he was raised under my tutelage.
Gu Yan unfolded the documents one by one. As the old dean said before, the anonymous person has always protected his identity information very well.In this part of the document, the part that involves them is actually only the signature at the end.
It wasn't until this moment that he understood what the old dean meant by "very... um's signature".
The first one is the feedback of the fund confirmation letter. There are two obvious handwritings in the place of the signature. The content of the signature is:
People & Everyone
The second is a thank you letter feedback:
so & so
Third copy:
who & don't know who
Fourth copy:
Old Friends & Children
fifth copy:
X&Y
sixth……
Lawyer Gu silently closed the screen, almost unable to watch it anymore.
Judging from the signature alone, the anonymous two didn't take this as anything, and they really didn't want to leave any information. Every signature was like a joke.People can't laugh or cry, they are extremely helpless.
Gu Yan rubbed the center of his brows, and spread the screen again.
To his surprise, the signature of the following document finally changed significantly——
From two to one, and the content of the signature became more serious, the name of the virtual consortium jointly created by those two parties was signed.Directly represent the two companies under the name of the consortium.
The documents are arranged by year, the double signature is the early stage, spanning several years, and the single signature is the later stage.
Gu Yan noticed the year when the single sign first appeared. If it was before, he would not be sensitive to this year.But it's different now. When he sees this year, he will subconsciously think of it. This is the second year after Yan Suizhi's parents passed away.
Gu Yan held the document, stared at the year for a few seconds, then raised his head, "One of them is—"
Yan Suizhi: "My parents."
"You checked it a long time ago?" Gu Yan asked.
Yan Suizhi shook his head, and he pulled the double-signed documents before him, "Actually, there is still some information."
He pointed to the first "everyone" and said, "Mr. Lin and Ms. Lu, two people."
He pointed to "so-and-so" and said, "It's still Mr. Lin and Ms. Lu. There's also this 'I don't know who', they are also them. But the first time I saw this kind of document was actually very early—"
Yan Suizhi pointed to the fourth "little friend" and said: "When they signed this, I was by the side. I don't remember what I did, but I seemed to ask my father about something, so I went into the study. They said, 'It's just in time, I just don't know what to sign'."
"I am deeply impressed by the content of this signature, and thanks to this impression, it is much more convenient to look it up when I am an adult." Yan Suizhi shook the simulated paper page, and said: "If you use the handwriting library to find it, you probably won't be able to find it in your lifetime. to, because my father wrote with his left hand."
He glanced at the signatures again, and said, "Is it ugly?"
Gu Yan noticed another point, "You signed Y for donating to the orphanage..."
Yan Suizhi smiled, "It's not an abbreviation for 'Yan'. In fact, I want to continue my parents' signature. I have used Renren and so-and-so in other places, and who knows who. It's just that Y is a bit of a coincidence. "
He paused and then said: "The old dean sent you these, which are similar to what I got back then, maybe a few more copies. But as you can see, the information is very limited. My father will write in uncommon handwriting , the other party will also, I have compared the handwriting database a long time ago, but there is no result."
