Chapter 137 Don't be so polite, I'm the lady's face.
The hands of the clock on the wall are ticking away.
Even the subtle whirring of gears sounded remarkably rhythmic in the quiet office.
Bo Siheng quietly flipped through the documents in his hand, occasionally handling follow-up work on his phone.
[Yu Cheng, keep a close eye on Bo Yuanzhou and prevent him from having any contact with Gu Xuanyu. Also, since Gu Xuanyu escaped today, he will definitely seek revenge. Once you find his whereabouts, hand him over to the police immediately.]
Gu Xuanyu dared to scheme against him, so he would definitely retaliate.
With the goods intercepted, Gujia will definitely be in a slump for a while.
However, we cannot be careless. The more desperate they are, the more likely they are to resort to desperate measures and seek cooperation with Bo Yuanzhou again.
Bo Siheng will not leave any future troubles for himself.
More importantly, this whole thing was brought up by He Yan.
Gu Xuanyu might make a move against her.
Therefore, he must clear all obstacles for her.
Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, Bo Siheng couldn't help but gently touch He Yan's face.
Is she so relaxed here because she knows that someone will protect her?
If that's the case, he would be very willing.
Bo Siheng stared at He Yan's face, his heart pounding with uncontrollable excitement.
He bent down and moved closer little by little.
Suddenly, he saw He Yan's eyelashes trembling, a prelude to waking up, and immediately sat up straight.
At this moment, he looked as if he had done something wrong, his body tense.
He Yan was half asleep, but she felt him taking care of her.
There was clearly a thin blanket covering him.
She yawned and unconsciously rolled over, then suddenly realized something was wrong.
The moment I opened my eyes, I saw someone's slender waist right in front of me.
This angle...
He Yan blinked, her mind instantly clearing.
She quickly sat up, feeling her face burning.
Why didn't you wake me? How long have I been asleep?
The sudden awkwardness left Bo Siheng unsure how to respond.
He pursed his lips, his expression somewhat stiff.
"You didn't sleep a wink last night, I didn't have the heart to disturb you."
"Cough...yes, I can't stay up late anymore, I'm easily confused when I wake up."
He Yan also felt embarrassed, so she could only pretend to sit up nonchalantly, while tidying up the blanket on her body and placing her suit jacket aside.
"How should we handle the Gu family's situation going forward?"
She touched the still-warm coat, thinking back to how she had almost instinctively grabbed it and covered herself with it.
Bo Siheng also tried his best to cooperate with her, ignoring the accident that had just happened.
Moreover, she has the right to know about the Gu family's affairs.
"We must find Gu Xuanyu's whereabouts, otherwise he will lurk like a venomous snake, and we will definitely avoid that possibility at any time."
This was also to protect He Yan's safety.
"Yes, he is ruthless and will not consider the consequences in order to achieve his goals."
He Yan discovered what kind of person Gu Xuanyu was after only a few brief encounters.
Bo Siheng stood up to ease the pressure on his legs caused by He Yan.
He then called the Bo family's lawyer.
Get them to take immediate action.
This was to serve as a warning to other partners, so that no one would dare to risk helping Gujia.
"Your second uncle has been dragged down by Gu Xuanyu, and he probably doesn't dare to step forward now."
"That's exactly what we want—for him not to dare."
Bo Siheng remained in the position of making a phone call, then turned to look at He Yan.
The way she sat on the sofa, focused on discussing things with him, was surprisingly endearing.
The smile in his eyes grew even gentler.
"Have you had lunch? I'll have Yu Cheng bring some over."
It was a rare moment of warmth for the two of them, but unfortunately he still had a lot of work to do.
He Yan also had a lot of things to do at the Antiques Association.
"I ate a piece of bread on the way here."
"Then let's eat while we work."
Bo Siheng smiled indulgently and then sent a message to Yu Cheng.
Soon, the secretary brought over a generous amount of fruit and snacks.
He Yan sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding her laptop and processing the list of cultural relics that needed to be restored sent by the studio, while occasionally eating something from the small table next to her.
Bo Siheng never used to eat in the office because he had severe mysophobia.
But now, he's willing to break anything for He Yan.
He also thoughtfully brewed her a cup of fruit and flower tea to help her cut through the richness of the flavors.
In the office, only the sound of keyboards clicking and papers turning could be heard for a moment.
The two of them enjoyed the quiet time together in perfect harmony.
In addition to arranging the restoration of cultural relics, He Yan also logged into her hacker account and went to the dark web for the first time in a long time, where she was going to post a bounty notice.
The Gu family's situation is unlikely to be an isolated case; it's just that it hasn't been investigated yet.
If she wants to protect cultural relics, she needs to call on more people to join the effort.
But the other side was in an uproar.
Jiang Lu had been relentlessly searching for the hacker Ace. He kept a close watch on him day and night, almost to the point of going bald from exhaustion, but Ace seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace.
He was on the verge of a breakdown, having mobilized his entire network department to track down the perpetrators.
But today, the tracking signal suddenly appeared.
"Quick, lock onto that signal!"
Jiang Lu was so excited that he immediately contacted Bo Siheng.
[Si Heng, I've tracked down the hacker Ace's network signal. We must find him this time!]
Bo Siheng received the message, and his eyes trembled slightly.
He glanced at He Yan on the sofa.
The afternoon sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, embracing her figure—it was so beautiful.
Be mindful of your attitude and clearly state our purpose.
He pressed the button to reply excitedly.
The long-lost hope was rekindled because his increasingly restless heart was swelling.
Jiang Lu suppressed his impulse and had his men secretly narrow down the tracking signal without alerting Ace. In the end, the tracking range turned out to be within the business district of the Bo family company.
"How is this possible?"
He was so shocked that his voice cracked, and he even doubted whether he had looked in the wrong direction.
But the signal is clearly in that area.
Jiang Lu dared not narrow down the search area any further, for fear of being discovered and losing track of them again.
"We need to tell Si Heng about this. The person he's looking for is actually right beside him!"
He edited the message, but hesitated when sending it.
Because of the trouble caused by the Gu family, the Bo family was almost implicated. Bo Siheng still has a lot of follow-up matters to handle, otherwise he will also be criticized by public opinion.
Jiang Lu dismissed the idea, feeling that Bo Siheng was already busy enough.
He decided to investigate secretly on his own.
He Yan quickly logged out of her account and put away her computer.
"I need to go back; there are some things that the Gu family sent to the teacher that need to be verified."
"I happen to be free here, I'll go with you."
Bo Siheng immediately closed the document in his hand.
He was worried about leaving He Yan alone because Gu Xuanyu had not yet been caught.
"it is good."
He Yan smiled and did not refuse.
She glanced at her phone, then resumed her nonchalant expression.
The two went to the cultural relic restoration studio together.
At this time, Jiang Lu had also arrived at the shopping mall downstairs from the Bo family's company.
They just missed Bo Siheng and He Yan.
"Young Master Jiang, how are we supposed to search such a vast area?"
The bodyguard also looked troubled.
Jiang Lu also frequently scanned his surroundings with his eyes.
"Check every entrance and exit."
Suddenly, he noticed a figure that looked very much like Ace, whom he had seen before, and immediately followed it.
Lin An'an was wearing sunglasses, a leather jacket, and short hair, dressed in a gothic-style androgynous outfit, as if she were just strolling around.
In fact, she came here on her own initiative.
He Yan discovered that someone was again investigating Ace's whereabouts.
She wanted to cover for her best friend, so of course she used herself as bait.
The result was at a corner.
Jiang Lu suddenly appeared and grabbed Lin An'an's wrist.
"I've finally found you!"
