Chapter - 41 Don'st Turn Around, We'sre Being Followed

*******

Gu Qing Pei and Yuan Yang arrived at XX city on Thursday xx city. The city was on the coast, but it was economically developed with a lot of high-rise buildings. Zhao lawyer had already asked the law firm in the city to pick up the guests and leave them at the hotel.

Zhao lawyer had two rooms booked for their personal use and one for them all to work in. The key points to promote the progress of the case were discussed again, ready to introduce Zhao lawyers tomorrow, to see a Judicial System Leadership.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Mr. Zhao resigned.

Yuan didn't intend to return to his own room, of course, he was going to stay in Gu Qing Pei's room.

Gu Qing Pei finished his bath and spent time checking relevant documents on his laptop, and at the same time, was dealing with other work. Every day, he was dumped with a lot of tasks to finish. Although he was very hardworking, he really enjoyed being challenged like this.

Yuan Yang came out of the bath only to see him staring at the computer. He grumbled, "It's eleven o'clock, are you not going to sleep yet?"

"There are things still not finished." Gu Qing Pei's slender fingers made clacking sounds as he typed on the keyboard.

Yuan Yang said, "I thought for a moment, although the vice-president agreed to sign it, but he wasn't under the pressure of the Head of the Provincial Bureau. I heard that he would like to mention it. I don't think he wants to offend both Province Bureau and the Courts. So, I didn't agree at the very beginning, and now we are under pressure to agree, but in the end, he will not sign, especially when the signing is still a problem."

Gu Qing Pei nodded, "When it is to be signed is not a small matter. If he dragged this, the verdict will not come down, and we face the same loss. So we now have to find another high-up leader to continue to exert pressure on him to promote the verdict so that it's rushed down, and only under the verdict, this thing can be considered a nail on the coffin."

Yuan Yang climbed on the bed and laid his head on Gu Qing Pei's lap. "After this thing gets solved, I'll wait for my bonus."

Gu Qing Pei smiled, "Just remember, I will not give you a dime."

Yuan Yang retorted, "If you don't give me money, I can only continue to eat your food ....and sleep in your home."

"Reasoning with you is meaningless."

Yuan Yang hooked an arm around Gu's neck and pressed his head down, licking a kiss with his lips.

Gu Qing Pei didn't have time for kisses, so after a touch of lips, he pulled away, and patted his face, "Tomorrow we have a lot of things to talk about, you go to sleep."

Yuan Yang sat up, shaking his big tail and staring at him, "You don't wanna make love?"

"Fuck! Of all the things to focus on, this what you think about? There's a lot still to be done and tomorrow there's some serious business waiting for us."

Yuan Yang felt quite disappointed, and finally laid down to sleep, but he couldn't stop his limbs from molesting Gu and they ended up doing it anyway. Finally, Gu Qing Pei fell asleep before completing his tasks.

The next morning at 10 am, they met with the Head of the Provincial Bureau in a posh cafe and discussed the case carefully. The situation looked good for them and the outlook was more optimistic.

That afternoon, they finished their lunch together and parted way since Zhao lawyer had to go ahead on his own. Gu Qing Pei and Yuan Yang also headed back to the hotel. In the taxi, they received a phone call from lawyer Zhao and said that the other side now decided to put forward the demand for reconciliation. However, the conditions of reconciliation still made Gu Qing Pei dissatisfied.

Therefore, he was temporarily not planning to negotiate with them and decided to continue suppressing them, so the conditions were in his favor.

Lawyer Zhao said with some concern, "I don't understand how the other part even got the news so fat. Only this morning we had decided on a course of actions and soon enough these guys have called for a reconciliation."

"Not necessarily, they may feel pressured....and the only choice they had was reconciliation."

"Ah, it is possible, but there is no sincerity in their reconciliation. Who would agree if these conditions are too greedy?"

Gu Qing Pei sneered, "Yes, certainly we cannot agree to this. However, if the conditions are reasonable, we don't need to apply too much pressure. Reconciliation is also the best way to solve this because we are impatient as well along with other issues. You give each a call, and then down 20 points, this is where we get the upper hand. If they don't agree with such conditions, then we wait for the verdict, and they will not get a dime."

After he hung up the phone, Yuan Yang asked him, "Do you think the other party will agree?"

"Yes, it's mainly about compensation."

Yuan Yang mused, "In the morning, when the leaders met they did not talk about reconciliation but the very same afternoon, they are willing to reconcile. Do you think this is a coincidence? They got news so soon, and I think this is not a simple matter."

Gu Qing Pei also frowned, "Not sure. Zhao lawyers told me they have some shady connections and a black background. You be careful, don't give trouble to Yuan-Director."

After the two returned to the hotel, they refreshed themselves and wore casual clothes for a stroll outside. XX city was a very beautiful holiday city, nothing happened in the afternoon. There was a winter sun shining down on them and if one didn't utilize this opportunity for a walk outside, it was a pity.

They had booked into a sea side hotel and within a few feet of walking, they reached the sea. The sun was very warm, the sea was particularly large, and not many people were around. The two of them walked along the beach and discussed the case.

After a few minutes of talking, Yuan Yang suddenly said, "Do you still dare to say that you don't know what to talk to me? Have we not chatted for a long time?"

Gu Qing Pei froze for a moment before sneering, "That is because when you started to work, you bragged all day, I had nothing to say to you."

Yuan Yang sighed, "I didn't say I won't work."

"Hey, did you forget what you were like when you first came?"

Yuan Yang squeezed his face between his palms, "I now enjoy you teaching me primary business education and I listen to you just to give you face. If you are obedient, I will work with you well."

Gu Qing Pei wanted to shake his head and bit down his smile. He was always out of sync with Yuan Yang. It was like being with a child, but he was crazy satisfying in bed and a far cry from the image of "child." These two extreme natures of his character often disturbed Gu and he always had a strange feeling in his heart while he was with Yuan Yang. He had to say, fickleness was also an attraction, at least he sometimes felt Yuan Yang was very interesting.

They walked along the beach for a kilometer or two before heading back to the hotel. After entering the hotel's lounge area, Yuan Yang stopped and frowned. He then bent down and dusted off some sand from his pants.

Gu Qing Pei stood watching him in place, with a doubtful look. He knew the guy was not so much into personal hygiene.

Yuan Yang stood up casually and said, "Don't look back, some people are following us."

Gu Qing Pei was startled, but still moved forward very calmly. They didn't return to the room but took a diversion to the café area and ordered for some tea.

"Are you sure?" Gu Qing Pei asked cautiously while sipping tea, his eyes moving erratically. He wanted to look back, but he was afraid of arousing suspicions.

"I know. You don't look, you cannot see him from this angle." Yuan Yang cocked his legs, his face showing a trace of excited smile, "It's been a long time since I ran into such a thing."

Gu Qing Pei reluctantly said, "Stop that...this is a serious business. Don't move the troops to come here. You cannot make trouble."

"This is how I can stir up trouble, the others just follow us." Yuan Yang rubbed Gu's palm affectionately. "If the other person really sent people to track us, it was no surprise that we had seen the leaders of the provincial bureau in the morning, and it wasn't strange for them to know it soon after."

"Were we followed from the plane?"

"Not necessarily, they may not be the ones we saw at the beginning, but Zhao lawyer, or I should have found them in the morning."

Gu Qing Pei's hand slapped the armrest repetitively, "What about now?"

"We don't go back to the room for a while, let's go out for dinner and see what they do. Select somewhere where there's security everywhere and no cameras outside."

Yuan Yang was not a little nervous, but he was excitedly looking forward to this.

Gu Qing Pei reminded him, "I repeat....don't cause a scene."

Yuan Yang snorted, "Why don't you go with them?"

"I'm more worried about you causing chaos."

Yuan Yang gently pinched his hand, and smiled, "Gu, what are you afraid of? Once you heard about their dark background, you're so nervous."

Gu Qing Pei squinted at him, "I am a law-abiding citizen, I don't want to be contaminated by these things, but I am not afraid."

"Really not afraid?"

"Not afraid." Gu Qing Pei face expression was very calm, though he does not like violent conflict, he was without fear. Moreover, he was sitting here with Yuan Yang who was a bigger hooligan. For three or four months he has been molested and bullied. Those people were not necessarily harder than Yuan Yang.

Yuan Yang held his hand, and chuckled lightly, "That's good, rest assured. When you're with me, they cannot hurt you."

Gu Qing Pei raised his eyebrows, "You finally have a role to play."

Yuan Yang sat back and gave his hand a pinch, with deep staring eyes he said, "And if you run against me, I'll punish you at night."

Gu Qing Pei threw his hand away and checked the time, "Five o'clock, let's go out to eat. You suggest a place."

Yuan Yang narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, "This place should have a good area for eating."
