Chapter 104 An Encounter

At the end of 1972, Yun Wangshu followed a group of human traffickers onto a train to Northeast China, where he happened to run into Chen Ye, who was determined to go home for the New Year, and his good friend Qi Yuan.

They were arguing.

Whether it was anger or not, Qi Yuan's ears were red: "I told you I'd go back with you next spring, but you insisted on leaving now. Not only are there too many people, but we'll also lose a lot of money!"

The black market is doing exceptionally well in the period leading up to the Lunar New Year. If they leave at this time, what is the loss?

Chen Ye tilted his head nonchalantly: "The goods were prepared in advance. With Fatty and Monkey there, what's there to worry about? Don't you want to come back with me for the New Year?"

Qi Yuan gritted his teeth, wishing he could scratch him a couple of times. How could that be the same? Men who don't care about their careers are so annoying!

And why do you insist on taking him to his house for Chinese New Year? It's so awkward! What if things don't go well?!

Yun Wangshu found it increasingly strange, especially Chen Ye's attitude. When did his temper become so good?

Noticing that someone was slacking off, Chen Ye sharply scanned the area, and when he saw Yun Wangshu, he was clearly stunned, his eyes widening.

He immediately got up, pulled Qi Yuan along, and tried to leave, but then suddenly remembered something, pressed Qi Yuan back into his seat, and slipped into the aisle himself.

"Ah Yuan, I need to use the restroom."

Qi Yuan was speechless at his actions and rolled her eyes at him, "If you're going to the toilet, just go. Why are you dragging me along? Do you think you can't get out if I don't get up?"

Chen Ye: …………

This person is good in every way, except that he has a very sharp tongue. He even worries that he might poison himself by drinking water and eating!

Chen Ye didn't have time to argue with him. There were too many things and people in the aisle. He squeezed his way to Yun Wangshu's side, and the two exchanged glances and walked towards the food cart in tacit understanding.

Coincidentally, the dining car was just one carriage away from the dining car. Around noon, two passengers were eating in the dining car, and Chen Ye ordered three meals, one of which was to be taken away.

He sat opposite Yun Wangshu, his eyes full of surprise: "I didn't hear you were going back. Are you working?"

Yun Wangshu nodded: "I was a step too slow, so I had to catch up."

Chen Ye's eyes flashed, and he lowered his voice, asking, "How can I help you?"

Yun Wangshu smiled and said, "No need, it's already been taken care of."

"So fast??"

Chen Ye was somewhat surprised. How long had the train been traveling? Had it locked onto its target and launched a precise strike right from the start?

Does that mean everything is fine from now on?

Chen Ye was very happy and asked with a smile, "Come back with me for the New Year. Zhao Kuo and Mei Yun miss you very much."

They haven't been in much contact in the past two years. Even when he was in Shanghai, he never went to see her. After all, what he was doing was very risky, and he couldn't let her get involved.

Yun Wangshu shook her head: "I will get off the train after two stops to take down their stronghold. I can't go to the city or county."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Chen Ye's eyes. He felt that Yun Wangshu was not close to them, but that was understandable, since they had never really spent time together and it was normal for them to be estranged.

It seems that Zhao Kuo should be encouraged to visit her more often in the future; brothers and sisters should naturally be closer.

After calming himself down, Chen Ye returned to his carefree state and said with a smile, "Work is important. I'll give you a big red envelope during the New Year."

Yun Wangshu's expression softened for the first time. She did not reject the three children adopted by Yun Feifan. They were sensible, knew when to advance and retreat, were talented, and hardworking. They were all outstanding people.

She had known for a long time that Chen Ye was active in the black market in Shanghai and would occasionally ask Xiao Hua to help him with some troubles, but she herself had never shown up and had never had any interaction with Chen Ye. Thinking of the people next to him just now, Yun Wangshu felt a rare curiosity.

"Is the person you were just arguing with your friend?"
