The Disgusting Smell

Lin Yumo wanted to buy shares in Tianyu Technology partly because she believed that Guo Yuan and the organization behind him would never make a losing deal. Even if the intelligent engine market were completely dominated, they should still have a way to carve out a path for themselves.

Lin Yumo even suspected that their organization had developed an intelligent engine far ahead of its time, which was why they were acquiring the company. In any case, this investment definitely would not lose money.

The other reason was that Lin Yumo wanted to deepen her relationship with Guo Yuan. The better their relationship became, the more hope she had of joining this organization.

She wanted to cling to someone powerful too—someone with such an intelligent crow as a pet.

After Guo Yuan took Lin Yumo's one million dollars, his worries about funding vanished at once, and the weight on his mind finally lifted.

"Yumo, didn't you ask me before to help confirm where your uncle's two mistresses were?" Guo Yuan abruptly changed the subject.

"You found them?"

"Yeah. After your uncle was exposed by me, he immediately moved those two women elsewhere.

One of them is now in Room 1002, Building 7, Splendid Garden, at the northernmost end of Bingzhou. The other has been placed in Room 901, Unit 1, Building 9, Vanke City, near the high-speed rail station at the southernmost end of Bingzhou."

"Great! Tomorrow, my aunt, cousin, and I will go catch him cheating!" With that, Lin Yumo turned and left.

"Can just a few women handle it?" Guo Yuan muttered to himself.

Tomorrow's operation to catch the cheater will go smoothly. Lin Yumo brought a professional team; grabbing him and recording everything will be handled in one go. If you want to help, you can find her a reliable civil lawyer. As it happens, the law firm at the entrance to your residential complex is very reliable when it comes to divorce cases.

Guo Yuan froze when he heard that. He had not even known there was a law firm at the entrance to his complex.

Early the next morning, Guo Yuan was awakened by Lilith.

"Caw, caw!"

Lilith wants to go out for a stroll. It is saying goodbye to you.

"Mm, be careful on the way. Don't crash into any airplanes." After saying that, Guo Yuan went back to sleep.

Guo Yuan slept a little longer, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already ten thirty.

Lilith had not returned yet. Guo Yuan casually ate something and headed out.

He planned to buy some fresh beef for Lilith at the supermarket, then visit the law firm to ask about Lin Yumo's divorce case.

By the time he finished both errands, it was already noon. Guo Yuan ate a bowl of noodles at the noodle shop downstairs, and just as he was about to head home, he saw his second maternal uncle's car drive into the complex.

Cao Bin's car could enter because after Guo Yuan bought the apartment, he had not had money to buy a car. He had borrowed Cao Bin's car a few times, so for convenience, he had simply registered it with the complex security.

After thinking it over, Guo Yuan hurriedly called Cao Bin.

"Hello~"

"Guo Yuan, are you home?" Cao Bin asked urgently.

"I'm downstairs! I saw you drive into our complex."

"Hurry home. I need to talk to you about something." With that, Cao Bin hung up.

Guo Yuan wolfed down the rest of his noodles and hurried home.

By the time Guo Yuan got back, Cao Bin was already waiting outside the door.

"Second Uncle, what's wrong? Why did you come over in such a rush?" Guo Yuan asked.

"Guo Yuan, did you buy Longcheng Biology stock before? You made money, right?" Cao Bin asked.

"Yeah. I bought it when it was fifty, and sold it when it was over sixty."

Cao Bin's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "How much money do you have on hand now?"

"Two or three hundred thousand, I guess," Guo Yuan casually made up a number.

"Though it's not much, it should still be enough to make a profit. Guo Yuan, I just got some news. Yida will be making a big move soon, and we can definitely make a killing."

Your second uncle is referring to Yida sponsoring the Qatar World Cup. The news is true, but Yida's stock price did not change much. This will be a wasted effort, so it is not recommended that you participate.

Guo Yuan shook his head. "Second Uncle, I don't think your information is reliable."

"I haven't even told you what the news is yet!"

"I know what news you mean. Second Uncle, I think that even if Yida sponsors the World Cup, a company of that size won't see much movement in its stock price. It'll just be a waste of effort.

Think about it—if even an outsider like me knows this news, what value does it have left?"

"Uh, I guess that's true." Cao Bin scratched his head, looking embarrassed.

Your second uncle did not come to recommend stocks to you. That was merely an excuse. In truth, your second uncle recently got himself into trouble. While having fun under his "stage name," he ran into an acquaintance who saw through his identity. He needs somewhere to hide for a while, in case the people he mistreated come looking for him.

Guo Yuan's mouth twitched. No wonder Cao Bin had sounded so urgent earlier. So that was what this was about.

Just as Guo Yuan was about to speak, Lilith pulled open the window screen and flew back inside.

Cao Bin's eyes went wide as he watched a large bird land on Guo Yuan's shoulder.

"Guo Yuan, this is..."

"This is my pet. Her name is Lilith. Come on, Lilith, say hello to our guest."

Lilith did not make a sound. Instead, she immediately took flight and began circling Cao Bin.

Lilith smelled a disgusting scent on your second uncle. It is about to attack him.

"Lilith, don't—"

Before Guo Yuan could finish speaking, Lilith viciously pecked Cao Bin's thigh and drove him out of the house.

"Uh, Lilith, what smell do you even dislike? Why did you just attack him?"

Lilith indicated that she didn't know what the smell was either, but she really disliked it. (Emphasis here.)

Guo Yuan sighed. After soothing Lilith for a moment, he went out to find his second uncle.

"Second Uncle, if it's inconvenient for you to go home lately, should I arrange somewhere else for you to stay?" Guo Yuan asked tentatively.

"What kind of place?"

"Shi Ze opened a pet hospital. It looks pretty spacious."

Guo Yuan spoke with Shi Ze and sent his second uncle over to Shi Ze's place.

As it happened, Shi Ze's girlfriend, Luo Siqi, was there as well. Luo Siqi asked about Lilith's situation, and once she learned that Guo Yuan and Lilith were getting along well, she felt relieved.

Crows had an extremely keen sense of smell and could detect the scent of rotting flesh from a great distance away.
