A few days later, Gu Yunyang boarded the train at Guangzhou Railway Station.

Gu Yunyang looked around and smiled.

Although he had only been there for a few days, he felt like he missed the place very much.

Although he wasn't from this place in his previous life, he is a local in this life.

Although he hasn't been here for very long, he has gradually come to regard this place as his hometown.

All I can say is that habit is a terrifying thing.

Without realizing it, he had already adapted to the local customs.

After leaving the train station, Gu Yunyang carried his luggage to a secluded spot.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Yunyang directly traveled through space and returned to his courtyard in Baishi Commune.

He went directly to the cellar under the courtyard. There was no door to enter or exit the cellar, so no one would hear him.

Gu Yunyang checked around and found that Gu Hongtao was not in the courtyard, so he felt relieved and traversed the ground to come out.

He returned to his room and washed up in the base space.

If he weren't afraid of being discovered, he would have simply traveled back from Shanghai through the portal.

We still need to make the trip; we'll decide what to do once we get to Guangzhou.

Gu Yunyang summoned a few crows to check the surroundings.

Only then did he decide to find out what had happened in the commune while he was away.

He had already anticipated this before he went on his business trip; they were preparing to arrest people.

If Zhou Zhigang tries to take action, then he shouldn't blame the higher-ups for arresting him directly.

The reason Zhou Zhigang wasn't targeted before was because Zhou Zhigang himself wasn't targeted either. Gradually, the higher-ups were able to track down Zhou Zhigang's superiors and subordinates.

However, if Zhou Zhigang makes a move, it could lead to personnel losses in the commune.

We must prioritize protecting the personal safety and property of the people.

Therefore, following the instructions from above, Hao Jianshe acted ahead of time and captured Zhou Zhigang and his men just as they were about to launch their attack.

Gu Yunyang sent Crow to check on things at the commune, and sure enough, Zhou Zhigang was no longer there.

Occasionally, Crow would overhear news about Zhou Zhigang from a few of the staff members.

"Tell me, what exactly happened to Deputy Secretary Zhou? I heard he was arrested directly from his home that day."

"Let's not discuss it anymore. Anyway, he's definitely not a good person. Otherwise, why would the higher-ups have arrested him?"

“Look at Officer Chen, he’s been looking listless these past few days.”

"It's not just that. I heard that when Chen went on a blind date, the woman didn't like him. She said that he's been in the General Office for many years, but Deputy Secretary Zhou hasn't promoted him. It must be because he's not capable enough."

"Huh? Officer Chen used to be very proud, thinking he was Deputy Secretary Zhou's confidant."

"I see. That explains why Deputy Secretary Zhou didn't promote him."

"However, I heard that the higher-ups are also investigating Secretary Chen. After all, his relationship with Deputy Secretary Zhou is too close. Over the years, Secretary Chen has been following behind Deputy Secretary Zhou, and he even refused to write articles when Secretary Hao asked him to."

The group exchanged knowing glances, completely disregarding Secretary Chen.

Regardless of whether Chen and Zhou Zhigang are connected, his future is bleak because of what happened before.

Hao Jianshe wouldn't risk promoting Chen, especially since Chen had previously rejected Hao Jianshe.

Even if Hao Jianshe is selfless, he would still have some reservations in his heart, and he would definitely not choose Chen if he had other options.

But to be honest, Officer Chen is indeed good at writing articles.

But to say that he is irreplaceable is not entirely true.

Gu Yunyang is very good at writing articles, and there are several others in the general office, although they are not as good as Chen.

The draft he wrote was approved, but Hao Jianshe needed to polish it a bit more.

Hao Jianshe originally intended to review the draft himself. Recently, whenever Hao Jianshe asked Gu Yunyang to write a draft, he would discuss with Gu Yunyang how the draft should be written and how to revise it.

It's clear that Hao Jianshe never had any hope for Officer Chen.
