I raised stunning young ladies, but they all wanted to possess me.

An out-of-control S-class is a mobile natural disaster.

In the Great Xia Empire, there is zero tolerance for such incidents.

The empire's system was somewhat unique, resembling a constitutional monarchy, but it also retained the tradition of awarding titles based on merit.

Titles cannot be inherited unless the descendants also make outstanding contributions.

The emperor was more like a symbol of the state, and to gain real power, one had to be elected to the cabinet or the three branches of government: the Senate, the Executive Yuan, and the Court of Judiciary.

Real power lies with the cabinet, elected by the people and nominated by the three houses of parliament, and with the three houses of parliament forming a unified entity. They bear the highest responsibility for the stability of the country.

Therefore, if Lin Jinyu.

This incredibly talented, well-connected young Vulcan, whose potential is estimated to be at least S-rank, is showing signs of spiraling out of control...

Chen Sinian knew about it but did not report it, and even concealed it.

Chen Sinian didn't even dare to imagine the consequences.

First of all, those old men in the Third Affiliated Hospital who value the country more than their own lives would absolutely not tolerate him.

The cabinet elders will not hesitate to take drastic measures to maintain overall stability.

At that time, it won't just be a matter of personal future; the entire Chen family could be uprooted as a way to answer to the people.

The people will not forgive a potential threat that could bring disaster to their homes.

If Chen Ssu-nien knew about it but failed to report it, he would also be implicated.

Therefore, he must confirm.

And the person I can confirm is right in front of me right now.

Gu Yan was stunned for a moment when she heard Chen Sinian's words.

He did want to get another sum of money from Lin Zhenting to cover his escape, but when they met...

Who knows if that straightforward Uncle Lin will have no choice but to kidnap him and take him back to Jinghai?

As for Lin Jinyu's superpower going out of control?

Gu Yan felt it was basically impossible.

Before he left Jinghai, he made a point of looking at that girl with his Eyes of Emotion.

Her mental fortress was solid and intact; although her emotions were intense, their foundation was firm, and there was no sign of her losing control.

For Lin Jinyu, isn't it normal to have big mood swings?

Lin Zhenting must have been too concerned and made a mountain out of a molehill.

Whether or not you meet with them is up to you.

If you're curious, then go see them; if you don't want to, then don't.

Let's see what Lin Zhenting is up to, and by the way...

Okay, let's talk about compensation.

After a moment of silence, Gu Yan said, "Boss Chen, why don't you tell Uncle Lin?"

"I'll think about it and give him an answer tomorrow."

Seeing that Gu Yan had relented, Chen Sinian felt relieved and quickly nodded, "Okay, okay!"

"I'll go and tell Mr. Lin right away."

"Master Gu, rest assured, I will immediately start the special plane and other preparations to ensure that you can depart smoothly tomorrow night."

"I will coordinate the delivery of the superpowered fruit as quickly as possible, and try to get it to you before you leave!"

Thank you.

Gu Yan nodded, turned around and prepared to leave, "Then Youyao and I will go back first."

"Farewell, Master Gu!"

"Master Gu, I am deeply grateful and cannot express my thanks."

"From this day forward, your affairs are the affairs of the Chen family! We are now one family!"

Chen Sinian quickly took two steps to catch up, and then bowed deeply and solemnly to Gu Yan's back.

Gu Yan paused, turned around, and her expression was a little strange.

family?

What family?

He carefully considered Chen Sinian's words and expression...

Oh, I understand.

It should be said that he had helped Cecilia so much, that they had a deep bond, and that Cecilia was someone he could trust and rely on like family.

It's just polite talk from a shrewd old fox in the business world.

"Mr. Chen, you flatter me."

Gu Yan waved her hand, her tone casual yet distant, "It was originally an equal exchange where each party got what they needed."

"Take care, Mr. Chen."

"I will... um, I will miss you."

After saying that, he didn't linger. He turned around and walked out of the command tent, heading in the direction where Shen Youyao was waiting.

Chen Sinian straightened up, watching Gu Yan's slender figure disappear into the night, and stroked his chin.

Equivalent exchange?

Did Master Gu misunderstand something? But he dared not say anything. What if Master Gu really didn't like his daughter?

"Master Gu, I promise, this is the last time I'll apologize to you."

He shook his head guiltily as he watched Gu Yan's retreating figure, then turned and quickly left. He had two things to arrange immediately.

First, contact Lin Zhenting; second, ...

I need to go back and have a good talk with my increasingly unpredictable daughter about our trip to South Africa.

This is the most important thing right now!

......

Aunt Tian carried the unconscious Shen Youyao and carefully placed her in the back seat of Chen Sinian's luxurious Bugatti Veyron.

The genuine leather seats are soft and spacious.

Shen Youyao was in a daze, feeling her body being laid flat.

Her eyelids twitched, as if she were about to wake up.

"Miss Shen, please rest assured. Mr. Gu will be here as soon as he finishes his business."

Aunt Tian noticed and whispered in her ear.

After saying that, she gently closed the car door and stood guard not far away.

The car fell silent. Shen Youyao slowly opened her eyes, which were hot and sore, and still wet with tears.

Everything that just happened is branded into my mind like a hot iron.

She...she never dared to see Gu Yan again!

So embarrassing!

Although it seemed like I wasn't in control of my body at the time, it was this body that did those things and said those words!

How will she face Gu Yan in the future?

She shouldn't have believed the nonsense from that voice in her head!

"How could you do this...?"

With a sob in her voice, she complained in a very low tone, as if speaking to the very thing in her mind, "I'll never trust you again... How can I... How can I face Brother Gu Yan..."

In my mind, that noble, cold voice chuckled softly, with a hint of amusement, but offered no response.

Just then, familiar footsteps came from outside the car, walking slowly and steadily towards them.

Shen Youyao froze instantly!

Immediately afterwards, his whole body began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.

Like a startled rabbit, she immediately closed her eyes tightly, held her breath, and began to pretend to be asleep.

The car door was opened.

Gu Yan sat down.

He saw Shen Youyao reclining on the chair, seemingly still unconscious.

However, the girl's trembling eyelashes and overly stiff posture gave her away.

Gu Yan sighed inwardly.

On the way back, he couldn't help but think about Shen Youyao's unusual behavior earlier.

Leaving aside the possibility of a second personality awakening prematurely, which violates basic rules.

He doesn't believe that a butterfly flapping its wings can break core psychological laws; the most reasonable explanation is...

This girl is under a lot of pressure today.

The coercion and bullying from Wang Hu and his adoptive mother, and the cowardly retreat of Hua Heng, his childhood sweetheart whom he relied on, at the crucial moment...

Even though she arrived in time, these events had already left deep scars on the girl's already fragile heart.

Extreme fear, disappointment, and resentment accumulated to their peak, coupled with possible slight discomfort after being caught in the rain, causing her to lose control of her emotions and behave and speak in such an abnormal manner.

Even cause and effect need to follow a process, right?

Gu Yan thought that cause and effect was a punch from you and a punch from me, but in fact, cause and effect is the flapping of a butterfly's wings, and a single thought can change the world.

He gently sat down next to Shen Youyao.
