235: Chapter 235 Curiosity Killed the Cat

Didn't Gu Corporation make its fortune doing the artificial intelligence project?

How is it related to military arms?

Just as Shen Yan was filled with doubt, the driver answered his previous question.

"This car is no longer drivable. I plan to use one of those people's cars to take Chairman Gu to the airport. Do you want to come with us?"

Shen Yan hesitated for a moment.

The confidential wealth intelligence only told him that Gu Corporation was related to military arms; it didn't provide him with more information.

He didn't know if he should go with these two people.

He didn't even know if he should get further entangled with Gu Corporation.

"Mr. Shen, please come with us."

"If you don't come with us, I'll feel awkward."

Hearing Gu Hui's question, Shen Yan narrowed his eyes and asked Gu Hui with a half-smile, "Why would I feel awkward if I don't go with you? Are you suggesting that if I stay here, I might run into danger?"

Gu Hui shook his head and replied:

"That's not it."

"This is a mountain road, and it will be very difficult for you to hail a car. I'm afraid you'll be stuck here until evening. Also, your car broke down because of us. After we leave, I will have someone tow your car back for repairs."

"I will return your car to you after it's fixed."

Shen Yan remained silent.

Since Gu Hui could send someone to tow his car, he could naturally send someone to take him back.

But Gu Hui didn't do that.

So... what was Gu Hui's purpose in asking him along?

His thoughts raced.

Shen Yan thought for quite a while before finally deciding to go with the two of them.

Whatever Gu Hui's motive was, it was best to observe first.

Thinking this, he nodded at the driver and Gu Hui.

"Let's go. I'll come with you."

Soon, they got into that BMW and drove toward the airport.

Time ticked by second by second.

The driver drove seriously.

Shen Yan, sitting in the passenger seat, was completely devoid of the drowsiness he felt earlier.

Just as he was pondering how Gu Corporation was involved with military arms, Gu Hui spoke.

"What does Mr. Shen do for a living?"

Hearing the question, Shen Yan turned his head slightly and replied to Gu Hui in the back seat, "I just run a small business of my own."

Gu Hui: "Oh? Is that so? What kind of small business?"

Shen Yan narrowed his eyes but didn't answer immediately.

He felt that Gu Hui was trying to pump him for information.

But why would Gu Hui want to pump him for information?

Did he suspect Shen Yan had an agenda?

He did indeed have an agenda, that was true.

But his goal was only to complete the special mission and obtain intelligence.

"Artificial Intelligence."

After a pause, he answered Gu Hui's question.

Originally, Shen Yan thought the questioning would end there, but unexpectedly, Gu Hui continued to press.

"What is your company's name?"

"Fuchen Enterprise."

"How long have you been working on the artificial intelligence project?"

"Just started."

"Is the artificial intelligence project you are working on learning-type or robot-type?"

The questions came one after another.

Shen Yan couldn't help himself anymore.

He took a deep breath, turned to Gu Hui in the back seat, and asked, "Are you very curious about our company?"

Gu Hui opened his eyes and looked at him leisurely, saying, "I'm not curious about your company; I'm more curious about you."

Shen Yan asked Gu Hui with a forced smile, "Then why are you curious about me, Chairman Gu?"

Gu Hui continued to reply, "What I'm curious about is, since you are clearly in the field of Artificial Intelligence, why don't you know me?"

Shen Yan frowned and thought for a long time before replying, "Do I have to know you just because I work in the field of Artificial Intelligence?"

"Or is the style of your Gu Corporation like the old days of bowing to the top boss, where everyone in this field has to first pay respects to you as the leader?"

Sensing Shen Yan was a bit displeased, Gu Hui chuckled softly a few times and said to Shen Yan, "Mr. Shen, no, President Shen, please don't misunderstand. I didn't mean that. I was just quite curious."

Shen Yan let out a cold laugh and said, "Curiosity killed the cat. I advise Chairman Gu to restrain his curiosity."

Hearing his directness, Gu Hui became even more curious.

"I am the Chairman of Gu Corporation. Don't you have any desire to... well, get to know me?"

Shen Yan replied expressionlessly, "Don't we already know each other now?"

As soon as he finished speaking,

Gu Hui fell silent.

This time, he remained silent for a full half hour.

It wasn't until the car arrived at the airport entrance that he spoke again.

"President Shen, thank you for this time. I hope we meet again in the future."

Shen Yan pursed his lips, opened the door directly, and got out of the car.

There were many cars near the airport, so he casually hailed one and left.

Seeing him leave so cleanly and quickly, the driver asked Gu Hui, "Chairman Gu, do you need me to send someone to investigate him?"

Gu Hui narrowed his eyes, turned, and walked into the airport, saying, "No need. I already know who he is."

...

Two hours later.

Shen Yan sat in his office, staring blankly at the documents in his hand.

"Knock, knock, knock."

A knock sounded at the door.

Shen Yan snapped back to attention and said to the person outside the office, "Come in."

A few seconds later, Chen Guangke entered.

"Are the documents signed? I'll take them if you're done."

As soon as he spoke, Shen Yan realized that he hadn't even picked up a pen since he came in.

He pressed his temples and looked up at Chen Guangke, replying, "Come back tomorrow to get the documents."

Hearing this, Chen Guangke looked very surprised.

"It's just a few documents. You haven't finished signing them yet?"

Shen Yan nodded.

"Are these few documents urgent?"

Chen Guangke shook his head.

"Not particularly urgent, but I'm very curious. Your efficiency is always the fastest; why is it so slow today?"

"Are you feeling unwell today?"

Shen Yan pursed his lips and didn't speak.

Seeing his pale face, which indeed looked unwell, Chen Guangke stepped forward, patted Shen Yan's shoulder, and said, "Work is work, and life is life. You can't always spend all your time working."

"Since you're not feeling well, just go home and rest today. Don't keep pushing yourself while you're on duty."

"It's only one day without you; the company won't collapse."

Shen Yan: "... I haven't said a word, and you're already telling me to go home and rest?"

Chen Guangke: "Isn't it because your complexion looks very pale?"

Hearing this, Shen Yan was stunned for a moment and subconsciously touched his own face.

"Is my complexion very pale?"

Chen Guangke nodded vigorously.

"You look quite haggard. Are you really unwell? If you really feel sick, go see a doctor."

After a few seconds of silence, Shen Yan shook his head.
