At this time, there were still many empty offices. After a few days, Li Yan had already figured out the patterns here, and they quickly found an empty office.
He leaned casually against the desk and said, "Explain in detail!"
"Report to the Earl, these past few days we’ve been monitoring the attackers who targeted the Lady, and they finally made a move and received a letter! We’ve intercepted it, but to avoid alerting them, we haven’t taken any action. We came to report to the Earl immediately."
After speaking, a deputy handed over a sealed letter.
Li Yan took the letter and coldly opened it. His eyes scanned over it, his brow furrowed, and his expression became increasingly icy.
The letter featured beautiful small script in regular script, neat and difficult to decipher.
Its content was concise, almost summarizable in a few words: Execute Plan B.
Li Yan did not know what Plan B was, but he had a premonition that this matter was definitely targeting Gu Tong. He suddenly realized that someone was deliberately and systematically framing Gu Tong, and the situation was becoming increasingly serious.
"There were many senders today! We need to sift through them one by one, but one thing is certain, the sender is from within the Academy!"
The letter had no postage, only internal personnel of the Academy could use such a mailing method.
Li Yan also noticed this point, moreover, there was a time lapse in the mailing of the letter, if it weren’t from within the Academy Courtyard, they definitely wouldn’t resort to sending a letter.
It seemed the other party was cunning and didn’t want to reveal their identity at all! He was hiding within the Academy, targeting Gu Tong at every turn, but for what reason!
Li Yan focused intensely on the letter, almost wanting to pierce a hole through it.
The deputy feared he would tear the letter, but their Earl did nothing for a moment, then folded the letter and placed it back in the envelope, saying, "Restore the letter and then give it back!"
If they withheld the letter, that would truly alert the enemy. According to Li Yan’s character, he would never make such a low-level mistake.
"But... the other party is targeting the Lady..."
Nobody knew what the plan was, and the Lady could face danger at any time, if anything were to happen...
Three words, yet more than enough to reassure anyone.
"Tomorrow, go handle the discharge procedures!"
Since he dared to start taking action, Li Yan must ensure Gu Tong’s safety. With others protecting her, he wouldn’t be at ease. Only by personally acting as her bodyguard could he feel secure.
The deputy was stunned for a moment, then realized what the Earl meant and quickly replied, "Yes!"
However, his heart was in turmoil; he never imagined the Earl would go to such lengths for the Lady...
It truly was jaw-dropping.
"Wait, postpone the discharge to the day after tomorrow! Give Gu Tong two days off tomorrow and the day after!"
Li Yan suddenly thought of something and changed the plan, saying, "By the way, arrange for a car from the Academy to be brought over."
The deputy was confused and asked, "Earl, is there something going on?"
"She wants to go to the snack street and go out to play. I promised her and haven’t fulfilled it yet."
"..." The cold dog food was dished out lightly. Earl, there’s no flaunting love ...
"Is there a problem?" Li Yan frowned, puzzled by the deputy’s expression.
"No..." How could he dare have any? If he had any questions or opinions, the Lady would probably tear him apart in no time.
When he just called the Earl out, the Lady almost wanted to strangle him.
Remembering the fierce Lady, the deputy shivered directly.
