Before he could even feel happy for a moment, Su Li said, "I sincerely wish you a safe return, but I won't wait for you."

Gu Huanian's face turned deathly pale in an instant.

He even considered asking his superiors if he could not go, but the thought only lasted for a moment. He quickly suppressed the emotion, for in the face of national affairs, he could not afford to hesitate in the slightest.

He looked at Su Li intently; "Ah Li, wait for me to come back."

After saying that, he turned and strode away without waiting for Su Li's reply.

Su Li stepped out of the room and saw him climb over the courtyard wall.

Feeling an indescribable sense of loss, she suffered from insomnia after Gu Huanian left.

So she went straight into her spatial dimension and found something to do. She didn't fall asleep until almost midnight.

——

Su Guoqiang has been living like a year for the past few months, and he has received an advance of three months' wages from the factory.

Su Jiaojiao took it all. At first, he was unwilling to report it to the police, and he didn't get a single penny back.

It was impossible to find Su Jiaojiao again after that.

Having exhausted all other options, he went to the factory manager's office again.

The factory manager gets a headache just looking at him; he doesn't even bother to talk about his trivial matters.

He can't even handle his own family matters properly. I guess he's here for money again.

If it weren't for the fact that his illness was so serious, he wouldn't have given him such a large advance on his salary last time.

After all, the factory is in dire need of supplies right now, with orders dwindling.

Seeing the factory manager's frighteningly cold expression, Su Guoqiang felt somewhat embarrassed to ask for an advance on his wages.

But he still forced himself to say, "Factory manager, I'd like to ask for another month's salary in advance."
