Chapter 6: Another Warning

The elders who came with Li Zonglin felt increasingly uneasy as they listened.

Li Zonglin already knew that the woman had a fiancé, yet he still brought it up, which is going too far.

"Li Zonglin, you're making a fool of us."

Li Zonglin immediately became anxious: "I didn't, I..."

"Li Zonglin, don't come to my house looking for Jiayu anymore. She'll be living with her fiancé from now on, and she probably won't be coming back." Captain Xiang said that on purpose.

It was said to these so-called elders, and also to Li Zonglin.

Still hoping to gain something from Zheng Jiayu, Li Zonglin anxiously asked, "Where is her fiancé from?"

Captain Xiang looked at Li Zonglin suspiciously: "Why are you asking this?"

Before Li Zonglin could say anything, Captain Xiang continued, "It's strange, but last night, a few people came to my door. These people were very strange; they said they were looking for something left behind by Old Zheng and his wife."

"This man was just arrested, and you've come looking for him so early in the morning. Could it be related to you?" Captain Xiang asked Li Zonglin with a sinister look.

Li Zonglin chuckled dryly and said, "How could this have anything to do with us? Captain, are you mistaken?"

"If there's nothing wrong, then why did you arrive at such a coincidence? They just left and you came right away."

Those who came with Li Zonglin were also from the research institute. After hearing what Captain Xiang said, they immediately guessed that there must be something fishy going on in this matter.

Looking at Li Zonglin and then at Captain Xiang, everyone remained silent in tacit agreement.

The oldest among them walked over, glanced at Li Zonglin, and said, "Alright, this is none of your business. Go back now."

Although Li Zonglin was somewhat resentful, he could only leave in frustration.

As he left, he glanced at Captain Xiang beside him, his eyes filled with a warning.

Captain Xiang pretended not to notice and simply greeted the elders who came to his home with a smile.

After the eyesore left, the old man across from him asked, "What exactly happened?"

"Old Zheng and the others' belongings left at the research institute have been searched, especially the project documents they were in charge of. They were all searched, and although the traces of searching are very obvious, they were definitely searched," Captain Xiang said with a serious expression.

"Not only that, even Jia Yu's things were searched. Everyone knows what these people are looking for."

After so much had happened, Li Zonglin came over with his men again.

“Think about it, Jia Yu already has a fiancé, and I’ve already told Li Zonglin about this, but they still brought you here to find Jia Yu, trying to trap her in the Li family. What is their purpose?” Captain Xiang told everyone his suspicions.

After hearing this, everyone's expressions turned serious.

If that's the case, then Li Zonglin definitely has a problem.

It's even related to the deaths of Zheng Jiayu's parents.

"It looks like there are more insects here too."

“Elders, I know you are doing this to give Jiayu a place to belong, but in her current situation, leaving her here would make her a sitting duck.”

Upon hearing this, the elderly people instantly understood what was going on.

He looked sharply at Captain Xiang in front of him: "Is the person who took Zheng Jiayu trustworthy?"

The captain nodded: "It's believable. The other party's grandfather and Jiayu's grandfather are good friends, and their engagement was arranged when they were children."

The elderly people were relieved to hear that the two families were related by blood.

"Don't contact that child proactively in the future. Don't let anyone know where she is. Only in this way can she be safe."

"yes."

Meanwhile, Zheng Jiayu followed Gu Yunting and the other two as they left Sichuan and headed north.

On the way to the north, Gu Yunting followed Zheng Jiayu the whole time. Not only that, the other two also followed Zheng Jiayu at all times.

They protected Zheng Jiayu very well.

"By the way, what's the deal with those people? Are they really just here to find the things my parents left behind?"

Gu Yunting's friend across from him shook his head and said, "That's really not it."

“The people on the other side are the ones who killed your parents. Besides targeting you, they also targeted other people, but…” Gu Yunting’s friend hesitated for a moment before continuing.

"Your parents aren't the first."

"Is there any connection with the Li family?"

"We haven't really found anything too serious, but there's something strange. These people should know the Li family, but when we ask them again, they refuse to say anything." Because these people are unwilling to say anything, they have no choice but to send them to the security bureau.

Zheng Jiayu looked at Gu Yunting, about to speak, when she suddenly shook her head. The sharp pain in her head reminded her of the scene she had seen of the Li family.

Noticing that something was wrong with Zheng Jiayu, Gu Yunting helped her up and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

Zheng Jiayu looked up at Gu Yunting, and a scene appeared on his face.

On the train, someone started a fight; that person had a gun.

And this person was in the next carriage.

Gu Yunting was injured in the fight.

As the scene ended, Zheng Jiayu, holding Gu Yunting's hand, said in a hoarse voice with a hint of fear, "Someone from the next carriage followed us. They have guns."

Zheng Jiayu's words made Gu Yunting and the other two look very serious.

"Don't ask me how I know, it's hard for me to explain to you."

As she spoke, Zheng Jiayu took out a notebook and pen from her bag and scribbled in the notebook. Then she showed the three of them the sketches she had drawn: "These are the four people. They have weapons, so you have to be careful."

Gu Yunting exchanged glances with his two friends and ultimately chose Zheng Jiayu.

The three of them memorized the appearances of the four people.

"You stay here, we'll go take a look."

Gu Yunting was about to get up when Zheng Jiayu grabbed his arm: "Don't go, wait for them to come."

That carriage was for seated passengers, but it was too crowded.

If Gu Yunting and his group go there, it will alert the enemy and may harm innocent people.

Their berths are sleeper berths, and there are few people here.

In addition, the other party had a specific purpose.

The best option for them is to stay here and wait for the other party to arrive.

Gu Yunting's friend calmed down: "Sister-in-law is right, we can't go."

“There are too many people in the next carriage. If we go over there, they can easily take someone hostage, which will make it more difficult for us to take action.”

Gu Yunting sat down next to Zheng Jiayu: "Do you know when they're coming?"

"Fifteen minutes later."

Fifteen minutes.

Gu Yunting checked the time and instantly understood why the other party would arrive in fifteen minutes.

"I see."

Fifteen minutes later, they were to pass through the longest tunnel ever.

The whole process took ten minutes.

The tunnel is loud enough that even if a fight breaks out, no one will suspect anything.
