To be honest, Jiang Qiao really doesn't lack anything. She has everything in her space. As for powerful figures, she doesn't think she can rely on the one in front of her. The higher you stand, the harder you fall, so it's better to rely on yourself.

He sighed and shook his head. "I haven't thought of it yet. I'll tell you when I do."

Song Shutian chuckled and ruffled Jiang Qiao's hair. "You little rascal, you don't lack anything. If you ever need money, I'll mail you some."

Jiang Qiao waved her hands repeatedly, "No way, I have my own money, I have hands and feet, I can earn it myself. Besides, I have my parents, I'm their only child, if they don't give me the money they earn, who else will they give it to?"

"Jiang Qiao, Shutian—"

As the two were chatting, Xiao Li excitedly ran over carrying his prey. When Jiang Qiao saw what was in his hand, she was so frightened that she stomped behind Song Shutian.

"Brother Li, why did you get a snake? I'm terrified of those things."

She knew snakes were edible, but she really disliked them, especially their slippery bodies. Just thinking about it gave her goosebumps.

Xiao Li said nonchalantly, "Little girl, you don't understand. Snake meat is very nutritious, especially in winter. A bowl of snake soup is absolutely delicious."

Sigh, at least we can still find things like this now. Who knows if we'll still be able to find them in a few days? Back home, let alone this, we're almost out of food even wild vegetables and cornbread.

Speaking of this, Song Shutian patted Xiao Li on the shoulder and said, "It's like this everywhere. Although it's a bit better in the city, it's still much worse than before. Maybe it will get better next year. Let's go."

Jiang Qiao walked with her head down, lost in thought. The two people in front of her were so engrossed in their conversation that they almost forgot about her. She stopped to look back, but unexpectedly bumped into Song Shutian's back.

"You silly girl, how do you walk? Why aren't you watching where you're going? What are you thinking about? Don't tell me you've got your eye on me. Even though I'm not married, I still have a fiancée."

Jiang Qiao rolled her eyes at him. "How dare you say that? You're so much older than me. Do you think you can have an older man eating younger women? Don't worry, you're much older than me. By the time I grow up, you'll be almost an old man."

Song Shutian tapped Jiang Qiao's forehead and said, "You little rascal, you really have a sharp tongue. I wonder who will marry you in the future."

"Don't worry, it's definitely not you, so you don't need to worry. If I'm going to find someone, I'll definitely find someone better looking than you."

Song Shutian was completely devastated by Jiang Qiao. He had a pretty good self-esteem. Although he couldn't be called handsome, he was at least good-looking and dashing.

He shook his head helplessly. "I hope you don't end up with someone who's good with words, otherwise you'll learn what it's like to be put in your place. I'm going to mourn for your future partner for half a minute now."

Xiao Li was a little puzzled as he watched the two of them bickering. Why were the young girl and Song Shutian so close?

This surprised him somewhat. Song Shutian wasn't like this with just anyone. It seemed that Jiang Qiao had caught his eye.

When the three men returned with their prey, Gu Zhengfeng was chatting with Zuo Zhankui.

Gu Zhengfeng had no idea who Zuo Zhankui was. He only knew that the other party was of a very high rank. Indeed, given his current rank, he really wouldn't be able to meet Zuo Zhankui and his group.

However, the person in front of him gave him a sense of familiarity; he guessed that he must have seen the person in the newspaper.

Zuo Zhankui looked Gu Zhengfeng up and down, and thought to himself, "Gu Hanting's sons are indeed quite outstanding."

"Gu Zhengfeng, you may not know me. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Zuo Zhankui—"

After saying this, he stared at Gu Zhengfeng with a smile in his eyes.

Upon hearing Zuo Zhankui's name, Gu Zhengfeng was dumbfounded. He could hardly believe his eyes. Could this be the same person who was on friendly terms with his father?

When my father took a photo with the other person back then, they were both quite young. Now, if the other person doesn't reveal their family background, he really wouldn't dare to think that way.

"You, you're my uncle?"

Zuo Zhankui smiled and nodded, then patted Gu Zhengfeng on the shoulder, "Kid, well done. You haven't moved from your position for so many years and you've still managed to stay calm, just like your father."

And your older brother, that brat, he even managed to fool your father. He got that kind of patience from your father too.

I met Jiang Qiao before. Your daughter is very outstanding.

Gu Zhengfeng was quite proud of his daughter; of course, his daughter was wonderful.

However, he humbly said, "The child is still too young, so we can't tell anything yet, but the child is sensible."

"Uncle, what's going on with Jiang Qiao and the others? I was sent here, and I still don't understand what's happening."

The person he was talking to only discussed Jiang Qiao's situation and didn't tell him anything about the child.

Zuo Zhankui patted Gu Zhengfeng on the shoulder with a smile, "Zhengfeng, you've given birth to a wonderful daughter. If it weren't for this child, we would have suffered a great loss..."

Zuo Zhankui briefly told Gu Zhengfeng about the big things Jiang Qiao had done before. Gu Zhengfeng was stunned. He never dreamed that such a big thing would happen when his daughter went out. How could this child be so brave as to fight with enemy agents? He was still scared. What if the child had made a mistake? Wouldn't she have lost her life?

He gave a wry smile. "This girl, she won't give up until she scares us to death. I told her beforehand not to go out looking for people, but she wouldn't listen. Luckily, she's alright, otherwise, I would have nowhere to cry. We finally found our child, what would we do if something happened to her?"

Zuo Zhankui had also heard about Gu Zhengfeng's only daughter, Jiang Qiao. It was because of this that he was moved by the couple's actions. In order to find this child, the couple decided not to have any more children. The child also took after Gu Zhengfeng, being loyal and affectionate.

Patting Gu Zhengfeng on the shoulder, he said, "When you come back, you can't scold Jiang Qiao. That child is a capable person. Even the Song family's children praise her. As her parents, you should be proud to have such a child."

This girl isn't even afraid of me; she went straight to telling me about your older brother. Tell me, if it were anyone else, they wouldn't have the guts to say anything else.

When talking about Jiang Qiao, Zuo Zhankui made no secret of his admiration for the child.

He then inquired about Gu Zhengfeng's family situation before telling him that he had already contacted the person Gu Zhengkai had mentioned.

Gu Zhengfeng stood up excitedly. "What? It's true, Uncle? You really know this person?"

Zuo Zhankui smiled and nodded, "Your older brother should have his day. So, today's matter is all thanks to your daughter. If she hadn't told anyone, who would have known what was going on?"

That person, most people really don't know about his past. If you ask me, Jiang Qiao is a lucky star. Your Gu family has a worthy successor, just like your father, with great courage. Speaking of which, we still owe your Gu family too much—”
