Chapter 473: Plan to Win Back My Boyfriend Using Green Tea 18

Jin Chen really didn't expect that to be the answer.

He instantly turned into a contented big cat, clinging to his brother's waist, rubbing and whimpering.

"Seeing you like this, brother, makes me want to never be apart from you for the rest of my life."

Clearly a complaint, but the tone is cloyingly sweet.

He Yuchuan doesn't think this is a bad thing at all.

If possible, he actually hopes this could be realized.

He pushes aside the thoughts he shouldn't have, releases the boy in his arms, and says, "I'll deal with Gu Yuanheng; you stay in the room and rest, don't run around."

"Got it, I won't bother brother."

Jin Chen nods obediently, looking like a good Bao Bao.

He Yuchuan is very pleased with his obedient appearance, and can't resist ruffling his hair before leaving the room.

As soon as he steps out, the warmth on his face vanishes completely, replaced by harshness and coldness.

He never imagined that someone so ambitious was actually under his command.

——

In the lab.

The person in charge who had received Guangshu's advance notice, upon learning that someone had entered trying to steal data and important equipment, immediately sealed all exits on the main control panel; now the entire underground lab can only be entered, not left.

But to avoid alerting the enemy, outwardly there was no other action; everything continued as usual.

Gu Yuanheng, who was transferring data according to his plan, certainly didn't know that an outcome more dangerous than a storm was about to arrive.

【Data copy in progress……87% copied……】

The progress bar on the screen was almost done; Gu Yuanheng waited anxiously, occasionally glancing at the door even though no one was there.

【……91% copied……】

It's about to finish!

Gu Yuanheng could almost imagine that, with these data and the equipment he had scavenged, he would soon be able to stand on equal footing with He Yuchuan, even surpass him.

Instead of forever having to grovel before him.

By that time, even someone as proud as He Yuchuan would be nothing more than a plaything in his palm.

In a place Gu Yuanheng couldn't see, the main hall gate of the lab was opened; fully armed security followed He Yuchuan straight to the blind spot of the surveillance.

【……97% copied……】

Gu Yuanheng had packed everything; as soon as the final buffering ended, he would grab the copied disk and leave.

At that moment he finally heard unusual sounds from outside, as if someone had entered, and not just one person.

He immediately went on alert, drawing his gun from his waist, cocking it while stepping back.

【……99% copied……copy completed.】

The progress bar disappeared from the display, and the machine emitted a soft beeping reminder.

This sound was like a signal.

The main gate was kicked open, and dozens of guards armed with long spears rushed in, yet the room was empty.

They involuntarily froze, standing straight, looking toward the person who had just entered behind them.

"Where is the person?"

He Yuchuan's voice lacked warmth; his wolf‑like sharp gaze swept over the small room that offered no place to hide.

The words "copy successful" on the screen hadn't faded yet; Gu Yuanheng had definitely been here just moments ago.

"Search." He gave the order in a cold voice.

The guards acted on the command, searching the room nonstop, yet they saw no trace of Gu Yuanheng.

"Is there another exit here?"

He Yuchuan watched as time ticked by, seeing not even a half‑shadow, his expression blank as he turned to look at the drenched‑sweat‑covered person in charge.

"This……there isn't any, Chairman He; you know the layout of this place—it's impossible for someone to just vanish into thin air!"

Yet it was precisely that remark that reminded He Yuchuan.

He muttered lowly.

"Vanish into thin air."

Some unimportant memory in his mind surfaced.

He Yuchuan still remembered that after agreeing to Gu Yuanheng's pursuit, he once said he was skilled at concealment and hiding, to the extent that even special forces couldn't find him.

No wonder he dared to storm the lab alone.

He narrowed his eyes; the few guards who had returned from searching snatched a long spear from someone's grasp, cocked it without hesitation, and stood at the doorway firing inward.

The data had been lost; all the information in this room was now scrap, just like Gu Yuanheng—there was no need for it to exist any further.

In an instant, the shattering of glass pierced by bullets and the gunfire echoed back and forth, smoke filling the air.

He Yuchuan stood alone at the doorway, his aura like a rain of swords and cold light, unstoppable; even though the danger ahead was extreme, his expression didn't change in the slightest.

Gu Yuanheng, now with nowhere left to hide, cursed under his breath—still he was found.

Because he didn't dodge in time, a bullet also struck his shoulder; he lay there like a defeated wild dog, panting and curled up on the glass‑strewn floor.

He finally felt fear; the person he had liked for so long was far more ruthless and vicious than he had imagined.

Perhaps because his emotions were beginning to awaken, He Yuchuan was especially cruel today.

He saw Gu Yuanheng curled up at his feet, still clutching the USB drive full of data and information; he casually tossed the spear backward, then strode into the room with long steps.

"Gu Yuanheng, you've got guts."

He Yuchuan looked down at him; although his gaze remained as indifferent as ever, it was now tinged with killing intent.

"Stealing data, placing the tracker on Jin Chen—any one of those is enough to get you killed today."

Who would have guessed that this remark would hit Gu Yuanheng's anger spot? He completely ignored the wound on his shoulder, eyes red, demanding of the man before him—the one he liked best.

I'm afraid putting the tracker on Jin Chen is what really angers you, right? Are you scared I'll kill him? Hahaha...

He Yuchuan! You still won't admit you like Jin Chen! Clearly we're the couple, yet you keep hurting me for Jin Chen's sake! You know full well he's an outsider, unrelated to you by blood!

You also know Jin Chen has other feelings toward you, this brother of yours, yet you indulge him! You're just as disgusting as he is... ah!

Gu Yuanheng's shoulder, which had been shot, was brutally stomped on by the tip of a leather shoe; he was in so much pain he couldn't speak, veins bulging on his neck, his eyes almost bursting.

"Noisy." He Yuchuan's tone was icy, his gaze already like looking at a corpse: "How I am with Jin Chen is none of your business."

"Even if I... really like him," his eyes flickered slightly, perhaps because Jin Chen wasn't here, allowing He Yuchuan to briefly acknowledge this fact.

"That's not an excuse for you to hurt him."

Having said that, He Yuchuan snatched the USB drive clutched in Gu Yuanheng's hand, threw it to the person in charge, and said, "Re-examine it."

"Okay, Chairman He."

"I'll take you up there, throw you into the violent rain and wind; if you're still alive tomorrow, I won't kill you."

He Yuchuan said this to Gu Yuanheng.

But everyone knows that even a normal person going outside now would get frostbite from the extreme cold, let alone Gu Yuanheng, who's been shot.
