"Of course." Gu Chengye agreed immediately.
"Can you hand control of those robot guards over to me?" Yang Chengrou continued.
"Of course. No problem."
Gu Chengye nodded.
"I've already told the artificial lifeform to transfer control to you."
"Thank you."
Yang Chengrou stood up.
"I'll go see her, just to put my mind completely at ease."
With that, he walked toward the room next door.
Watching Yang Chengrou leave, Yang Chenglu couldn't help asking:
"Second Brother, aren't you worried Eldest Brother will let her go?"
"Even if he does, you'll have only yourself to blame!"
Gu Chengye snorted.
"Me?"
Yang Chenglu looked puzzled.
"I told you to find some random person to serve as the legal representative and take the fall, but you went and dumped the whole thing on Eldest Brother."
The more Gu Chengye spoke, the more exasperated he became.
"Eldest Brother had no idea what you were actually trying to do."
"And now look—the person he found was his own wet nurse!"
"Couldn't you have explained things clearly beforehand?"
"You've made this so awkward!"
Hearing this, Yang Chenglu felt a little embarrassed too.
"That was my fault."
"But..."
A trace of hesitation appeared on his little face.
"If Eldest Brother really lets her go, we could be in for some serious trouble."
"Do you think we should..."
At this point, Yang Chenglu raised a hand and drew it lightly across his throat.
"Should, my ass!"
Gu Chengye slammed his hand down on the table.
"We're brothers!"
"If you dare do something like that, I won't be your second brother anymore!"
Seeing this, Yang Chenglu actually laughed.
"Don't get worked up. I just wanted to test you."
"If you'd really agreed with me, I'd definitely have had to keep my guard up around you from now on."
