Gu Yunyang transmigrated from the apocalypse back to 1960, into the body of a man with the same name who had been mistakenly swapped at birth, and he saw this man's entire life unfold.
In...
"Did you know? Your family, well, the Gu family's place, was burglarized. Five bicycles were stolen."
Gu Yunyang remained calm, naturally knowing that Yu Xiaobo was still testing him.
He chuckled, a hint of delight in his eyes: "I haven't heard of that before, but when was it? It sounds rather gratifying, doesn't it?"
Yu Xiaobo didn't seem to care about his attitude.
Gu Yunyang had a hard time living in the Gu family. His biological son had just returned when his adopted son was kicked out of the house.
That's not all; they also want to make use of waste by sending people to the countryside.
The Gu family's behavior was truly unseemly, which is why Yu Xiaobo couldn't stand it and only took Gu Yunyang in to stay in the dormitory for a few days.
Otherwise, even though he has a kind heart, he wouldn't just leave someone in his dormitory.
"Let's not talk about them anymore, they don't affect me anyway. By the way, Brother Yu, I'm thinking of going to the head chef and offering him some processing fees to help me prepare the fish, what do you think?"
"Sure. Do you have any money on you? Here, take this money and go find the master chef."
Yu Xiaobo felt a little guilty about his earlier probing, so he took out a dollar and gave it to Gu Yunyang without hesitation.
Gu Yunyang silently apologized to Gu Yunyang.
This time, it really was him who did it.
But Gu Yunyang would not admit it.
He felt perfectly justified in taking anything from the Gu family.
Anyway, it's ill-gotten gains, plus all the suffering the original owner of this body endured in her previous life.
Taking it back is a form of revenge.
He went to the cafeteria chef, and without saying much, he spent 50 cents, and the chef agreed to cook him a few fish dishes that evening.
He was going to give him a dollar, but the chef was a nice guy and probably heard about his situation, so he forced back fifty cents.
This warmed Gu Yunyang's heart, making him realize that there are still many good people in the world.
At worst, I'll just go to the countryside myself and mail more things here.
The next three years will be increasingly difficult.
It wasn't until 63 years later that things started to get a little better.
When Yu Xiaobo's colleagues came to the cafeteria for dinner that evening, they learned that Gu Yunyang had gone fishing and paid the chef to prepare several fish dishes for him. They all came over to express their gratitude.
Gu Yunyang quickly declined, smiling shyly, "It's nothing. Brother Yu kindly let me stay here, and you brothers have also taken good care of me. I should be grateful. It's just that I treated you to two fish, it's nothing."
His behavior is more like that of a recent graduate who hasn't yet experienced the harsh realities of society.
Seeing this, Yu Xiaobo's suspicions about him lessened even further.
I even felt a little guilty, because she was just a poor little thing who had been abandoned by the Gu family.
The Gu family's place was a large compound, and the Match Factory's residential area wasn't a place anyone could just walk into.
Why would I have doubts?
Gu Yunyang observed Yu Xiaobo for a while and felt like he was a high-IQ criminal who had even infiltrated the police force to observe their reactions so he could adjust his strategy accordingly.
After he washed the dishes, he went back to his room.
Gu Yunyang sensed that something was off about the atmosphere around him.
“There are people watching from the side.”
Gu Yunyang didn't care. Gu Anning couldn't have gotten to where she is today without any ability.
However, he was not afraid.
"However, I need to be careful with tonight's transaction. Perhaps, I could go out and create an alibi to completely clear myself of suspicion."
Gu Yunyang comforted himself, thinking that as long as he left the capital, everything would be alright.
No matter how powerful Gu Anning is, she can't possibly extend her influence to Guangdong Province.
Even if I manage to reach it, it shouldn't be too much trouble.
"At worst, we can chop off his claws. But for now, let's put on a show first, just as a warm-up."
