It took three days to drive from Jiangshi to Qing'an.

At dawn on the fourth day, Zhou Chunhua followed the navigation voice and parked the car in front of the hotel that Gu Yao had booked in advance.

After parking the car, I went to the front desk to check in.

While Gu Yao was checking in, Zhou Chunhua started chatting with another young woman at the front desk.

She casually asked, "Little sister, do you know how to get to Sha Tin Tsui?"

"Shatin Tsui?" The little girl looked puzzled. "I've never heard of a place called Shatin Tsui in Qing'an. Auntie, are you in the wrong place?"

Zhou Chunhua quickly smiled and said that she might have gone to the wrong place, and that was how the matter was dealt with.

After receiving the access card, Gu Yao turned around and took the bag from her hand.

"It's okay, it's not heavy, I can carry it myself." Zhou Chunhua tried to take the bag back, but Gu Yao refused.

As Zhou Chunhua followed Gu Yao toward the elevator, she couldn't help but laugh at herself.

In the past, when I went out with Liao Nanxing, she was always the one carrying big bags and small bags.

Liao Nanxing strolled leisurely behind.

He would occasionally boss her around and instruct her on how to do things.

So, she dug out that younger version of herself once again and berated her again.

Once inside the elevator, Gu Yaocai looked at her and said, "If we could just ask anyone, wouldn't we have found out already? Don't worry, since we're here, maybe we really can find that place."

With a ding, the elevator doors opened.

After following Gu Yao out of the elevator, Zhou Chunhua realized that Gu Yao must have thought she was unhappy because her expression was not good when she thought of Liao Nanxing.

She couldn't help but feel touched.

Spending time with Gu Yao these past few days has truly made her realize what it means to be different between people.

Upon arriving at the room door, Gu Yao used the room key to open the door and handed her her bag.

"Don't worry, now that we're here, we can't come away empty-handed. I'll take a shower and catch up on some sleep. We'll figure out the rest when I wake up."

Just as Zhou Chunhua was about to say that she wasn't tired, Gu Yao took a few steps forward and opened the door to the next room.

"Don't just stand there, go inside and rest. I have plans to meet someone tonight, let's go together."

"Who did you meet up with?"

Gu Yao adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses: "A friend of a friend of a friend. In any case, we might be able to get some useful information from him."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chunhua's fatigue vanished instantly.

"Okay." After replying, she hurriedly went into the room, put her bag on the table, and began to tidy herself up.

After spending three days wrapped up in the car, Gu Yao didn't say anything, but she could smell the odor on herself.

She did as Gu Yao suggested, took a shower, and then took a nap.

Although I kept waking up in a daze, after sleeping for a while, I felt much more awake.

However, by the time Gu Yao came to call her, it was already dark outside.

They arrived at the agreed-upon location at the agreed-upon time.

It's a roadside barbecue stall.

When they arrived by car, the stall owner had just set up his stall.

"Are you the owner of this stall?" Zhou Chunhua asked.

Gu Yao shook his head: "I don't know either. Let's go down and ask."

After getting off the bus, they walked towards the stall.

The boss was an older man who was about the same age as them.

Upon seeing them, I spoke to them in my local dialect.

Zhou Chunhua and Gu Yao couldn't understand what he was saying at all.

Gu Yao had no choice but to call the other party.

Only then did I realize that they had something to do and would be a little late.

They then sat down at the stall, ordered a few things, and waited.

About half an hour later, a black sedan pulled up next to the stall.

The people inside had just parked their car when they poked their heads out to look in their direction.

As soon as the person got out of the car, Gu Yao's phone rang.

The other person was holding a phone.

It seems that the person who arrived was the one they were waiting for.

Gu Yao stood up and waved to the other side of the road. The man standing next to the car jogged over.

"Hello, I'm Liu Changfeng. You must be Attorney Gu, right?"

The man stretched out his hand, a simple and honest smile on his face.

He may be a few years older, but he gives off a very approachable vibe.

After Gu Yao shook hands with him, Liu Changfeng greeted her.

Zhou Chunhua gave a brief self-introduction and didn't say much more.

Liu Changfeng, on the other hand, was very enthusiastic.

As soon as he sat down, he ordered the owner to prepare a lot of food in his dialect.

Then, I also ordered a bottle of beer from the owner.

He opened a beer and poured a glass for each of them.

He's been showering us with polite words almost non-stop since we met.

Gu Yao kept saying thank you, and Zhou Chunhua couldn't even get a word in edgewise.

After waiting for quite a while, Liu Changfeng finally stopped.

He held up a glass of beer and clinked it against Gu Yao's glass.

"Now that you're here, I must make sure you eat and drink well today."

After saying that, he tilted his head back and gulped down the beer.

Gu Yao didn't touch his glass, but politely said, "Thank you. But I can't drink today, I have to drive later."

"Xiao Zhou can drive it," Liu Changfeng said.

Gu Yao didn't even glance at her before saying, "She can't drive."

After saying that, Gu Yao asked the owner to bring him a drink, and then returned the favor with a toast.

It must be said that Gu Yao did a very good job of being tactful, giving the other party face, and eliminating some unseen potential problems.

After putting down his cup, Gu Yao explained his purpose.

Zhou Chunhua noticed that Liu Changfeng's expression was noticeably off when he heard the words "Shatinzui".

But he said, "Where did you hear that, Attorney Gu? There's no place in Qing'an with that name. Why don't you ask again if the place name is wrong?"

Just as Zhou Chunhua was about to touch Gu Yao with her foot, Gu Yao turned his head and looked over.

He tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a relieved smile, then turned to Liu Changfeng and said, "Hmm. It might really be a mistake."

Just then, the food that Liu Changfeng had ordered was served.

Gu Yao didn't press further, but instead took the initiative to greet Liu Changfeng.

They were serving food and pouring drinks.

To the uninformed, they would look like long-lost friends.

In no time at all, Liu Changfeng had finished all six bottles of beer.

Just as Zhou Chunhua was about to get up and ask the owner to bring some more wine, Gu Yao spoke up first: "Perfect timing, I have a bottle of good wine in my car."

After saying that, Gu Yao walked directly towards the car.

He opened the trunk and took out a bottle of liquor, specifically baijiu (Chinese white liquor).

For Zhou Chunhua, who doesn't drink alcohol, the sight of baijiu (Chinese liquor) makes her unconsciously frown.

But... she couldn't understand why Gu Yao didn't take it out earlier, but waited until Liu Changfeng finished his beer before taking the beer out of the trunk.
