493 Master Gu’s motive

“yes, i used to come to the mountains to pick herbs when i had time.”

“student shi yan also knows medicine?” After saying that, she seemed to have realized something. Oh, I was stupid. You picked a lot of herbs on the way here.

Shi Yan didn’t respond to him. She still smiled and remained silent.

“I’ve said so much. Actually, I just want to ask you, Shi Yan. Since you’re so familiar with this place, do you know that there’s a small road on the opposite mountain that leads to the main road behind the mountain?” Gu Tan continued.

” it’s like this. we saw that the scenery over there was pretty good and wanted to go there to take a look, but we were afraid that we wouldn’t have enough time. we thought that if there was a small road on the mountain that led to the main road, we could drive directly to the main road over there and then walk up. this way, it wouldn’t take too much time to go back and forth. ”

” we’ve already asked our fellow townsman about it. we heard that there’s a small road over there, but he speaks in a dialect, so we didn’t really understand what he said. we wanted to ask you again. ”

Shi Yan followed his line of sight and saw a mountain not far away. The scenery was really good. it seemed to be very close, but it would take at least two hours to get there.

In these nine years, Shi Yan had walked through all these mountains. She was very clear about where the small paths were.

” there is indeed a small path leading to the main road behind the mountain, but there are more snakes and insects there, so few people usually walk there. i don’t know if the small path is still there. ”

“according to student shi yan, you’ve taken that path before?”

“Yes.” Shi Yan looked back at him.

suddenly, she curved her eyebrows and smiled.”Shouldn’t master Gu be very clear about this? why ask when you already know the answer?”

gu tan was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled and took off the pair of silly glasses that covered half of his face,”it seems that student shi yan has remembered me!”

“Five years ago, you saved my life on that little road, Gugu”

“it’s not accurate to say that i remember you. i only remember you because i have a good memory. i just happen to remember a deal we made there a few years ago. If you didn’t take the initiative to ask me about the path, I wouldn’t even have associated you with this place.”

“also, there’s no such thing as saving your life.”

“At that time, I was only interested in the herb in your hand. In exchange, I called an ambulance for you, who was seriously injured. the silver and goods are settled and have nothing to do with each other.”

To be more precise, it was not that she took a fancy to the herbs in his hands and took the initiative to help. At that time, she was alone on the mountain picking herbs. On the path down the mountain, she saw Gu Tan who was seriously injured and could not move. She did not even look at Gu Tan and just walked past him without looking sideways.

it was gu tan who had asked for help, asking her to save him.

shi yan, who didn’t like to meddle in other people’s business, naturally ignored her when she asked her to save him. in the end, gu tan offered to use the rare herb in his hands in exchange for her help to call an ambulance.

The herb was indeed difficult to find. It didn’t cost much to make a phone call, and Shi Yan agreed.

she dialed the emergency number and gave him the address before leaving.

“to you, it’s a done deal, but to me, it’s a life-saving grace. In order to find you and repay my gratitude, I spent a lot of effort. It took me nearly five years to find you.”

with the shi family’s help to hide her whereabouts, it was not easy to find out about shi yan’s whereabouts, especially when she used a temporary card to call for the ambulance instead of the card she had been using.

Shi Yan didn’t think that a severely injured person, who was a teenager of 15 or 16 years old, could be an ordinary person in a mountain in a small place like Wu County that was rarely set foot in.

After making the emergency call, she had thrown away the temporary SIM card.

She had indeed forgotten about this matter. If it wasn’t for Gu Tan taking the initiative to ask about the small path and adding on the fact that she had her suspicions about Gu Tan, she would not have remembered.

“so what does master gu want to do by going in such a big circle and appearing in front of me? To repay the kindness of saving my life?”

“Yes, to repay you for saving my life.”

gu tan without his glasses ... no, i should call him gu yu now.

He was so perfunctory even when using an alias. It seemed like he had never thought of completely hiding his identity from the start.

Without his glasses, Gu Yu gave off a completely different feeling. He did not look like a bookworm at all. Instead, he looked very delicate.

he had gray eyes, fair skin, and the standard appearance of a mixed-blood.

” we heard that the young master of the gu family had come to haicheng. at first, we thought that he was here for the yu family. however, after third young master yu was unable to find master gu’s whereabouts, we began to suspect that he was here for me and the fifth master jiang. ”

“But we can’t figure out why master Gu is targeting us. After all, neither I nor the fifth Lord have much to do with the Gu family. i finally understand now.”

“it’s just a deal that’s not worth it to me, and i don’t need master gu to repay me, but it seems like master gu is determined to repay me. since it’s like this, why don’t you just tell me how you want to repay me, gu clan master, so that you don’t have to waste time beating around the bush?”

there was a faint smile on her face, and her tone was neither fast nor slow. not only did she not show any panic, but her entire person exuded a sense of nonchalance, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

” five years have passed, and you’re still so direct. you don’t say a word of nonsense. ”

He spoke in a tone that said he was very familiar with her.

Shi Yan was a little unhappy to hear this, and the faint smile on her face faded a little.

Before she could express her displeasure, Gu Yu, who had read her mind, said, ” “Student Shi Yan, don’t panic. I’m here to repay your kindness, not to seek revenge. i’ve spent so much effort to come to you without any other intentions. i just want to invite you to the gu residence as a guest for a few days so that i can have the opportunity to entertain you as a host.”

“you don’t lack money or value fame and fortune. this is the best way i can think of to repay you.”

“master gu, you can’t invite someone to be a guest like this.”

the sound of footsteps came along with the rumbling of the helicopter.

A group of well-trained and well-disguised people emerged from the nearby forest and surrounded Shi Yan.

Dou Chao, who had been on the phone, had appeared in front of Shi Yan and shielded her behind him in a protective manner. He glared at Gu Yu.”gu tan, what are you doing?”

Gu mo turned to Dou Chao. we’ve been in the same dormitory for a semester. You’ve always found opportunities to stop me from being alone. I’ve long suspected you. unfortunately, i don’t know which family you’re from, and even i can’t find anything wrong with you.”

“we’re in the same dormitory at the start of the semester. it seems that you knew my identity as soon as i arrived in haicheng. i’ve hidden it so well that so many people couldn’t find a trace of me even after so long, but you knew from the beginning. i wonder who is behind you and who has such great ability.”

“But it doesn’t matter anymore. No matter how capable he is, distant water can’t put out a nearby fire. by the time he arrives, miss shi yan would have already been invited to the helicopter by me. ”

“Is that so?” Shi Yan said faintly.

he walked out from behind dou chao and was exposed to gu yu’s sight, but there was no panic on his face.

He was as calm as ever.
