Chen Yong frowned, and his foot, which was about to rush out, stopped instantly. The intelligence they received did not mention a child. If the child belonged to the other party, it would be fine, after all, even tigers don't eat their cubs.

But if this child was someone he got from elsewhere to shield himself from trouble, then they must adjust their plans and not let such a young child die at the hands of this kind of person.

Xiao Yuheng's gaze remained fixed on that person, his mind constantly replaying the information he had obtained, but there was no trace of a child.

"what to do?"

"Keep up."

Xiao Yuheng decisively stood up, suppressed his aura, and merged into the crowd. Coupled with his dusty, coarse cloth clothes, he looked no different from the other travelers.

Chen Yong followed closely, not daring to relax for a moment, and saw the man take advantage of the last moment to carry the child through the ticket gate.

Xiao Yuheng lagged a few steps behind. By the time he arrived, the staff had already started closing the door. Seeing him rushing straight in, they reached out to stop him.

Xiao Yuheng took out a notebook and handed it to the person, "This is my ticket, is everything alright?"

The staff weren't stupid; after reading the words on the notebook, they immediately nodded, "No problem, no problem."

He quickly opened the door to let Xiao Yuheng through.

Chen Yong held up his notebook. "Together."

Then they rushed inside quickly.

Neither of them was slow, and by the time the man boarded the train at the last minute, the two of them had already boarded the next carriage at the last second.

The platform was full of people seeing others off. Even though the person was very vigilant the whole way, they didn't notice that two tails were following them.

The car rattled along until it was out of sight of Director Li and his companion. Only then did Gu An'an look away. At that moment, a woman's voice came from beside her, "Were those your uncle and aunt just now?"

Gu An'an looked at the little girl and saw that she was wearing a Dacron shirt and cargo pants, with a small section of watch strap peeking out from the cuffs, which showed that her family was well-off.

Most importantly, she has clear eyes; she's genuinely innocent, not the kind of manipulative woman.

Seeing Gu An'an nod, the girl smiled and her eyes crinkled. "Your uncle and aunt are so good to you."

Gu An'an became interested. "Why do you say that?"

"The way they look at you is just like my parents; they can't fake it if they don't genuinely care about you."

She laughed without a care in the world; it was obvious that this child was well protected by her family.

"My name is Zhou Yue. May I ask your name?"

After saying that, he realized he had been a bit abrupt and quickly tried to make amends, saying, "I didn't mean anything by it. I just felt it was quite a coincidence that we were able to sit together when we went to the countryside."

Zhou Yue? Could there also be a Xie Yuan here?

It can't be that coincidental.

In the apocalypse, Gu An'an brought back a hard drive with a large capacity when she went out to plunder. When she was bored, she opened it and found that it was full of novels. She wondered which hardcore novel lover had treasured it.

However, this hard drive brought her a lot of joy in the apocalypse. Whenever she wasn't on a mission, she would stay in the space and read novels. She finished reading all the novels on the entire 4TB hard drive.

She had seen the name Zhou Yue in one of the novels, where she was the white moonlight in that novel, and Xie Yuan was the male protagonist, a man who wanted to have his cake and eat it too.

Seeing that Gu An'an hadn't spoken for a while, the boy next to Zhou Yue spoke up, "Xiao Yue, your uncle told you to be careful outside. Not everyone is good. Have you forgotten? If your uncle finds out, he'll scold you again."

Zhou Yue has never liked being lectured since she was a child, and she especially dislikes others interfering with her making friends, as if she were a fool who couldn't distinguish between good and bad.

"Xie Yuan, what do you mean? What about this girl makes her seem like a bad person? Besides, my dad isn't here. How would he know unless you tattle on her?"

The boy named Xie Yuan immediately waved his hand, "Xiao Yue, that's not what I meant. I didn't mean to tattle. I was just worried about you."

Before Zhou Yue could say anything, the girl opposite her spoke up, "Brother Yuan didn't say anything either, so why are you so angry, Sister Zhou Yue?"

Gu An'an's gaze, which had been watching the drama unfold, shifted to the girl who was speaking. If she wasn't mistaken, the two novels she had read were the same, and the girl speaking now was Qin Xue, another important character in the novel.

The three lived in the same courtyard. Qin Xue had always liked to follow Xie Yuan around since she was a child. When she was just a few years old, she declared that she wanted to marry Xie Yuan. However, because of the power of the Zhou family, Xie Yuan clung to Zhou Yue all the time when he was only ten years old, vowing to marry Zhou Yue.

Not only that, he also tried every means to drive away anyone who appeared around Zhou Yue, not even close male friends.

Now that Zhou Yue won't listen, he's secretly sabotaging her, resorting to all sorts of underhanded tactics, including complaining.

She loved him, and he loved her. Such a couple would attract attention wherever they went, and neighbors would ask questions from time to time, which bothered Zhou Yue.

She could have chosen not to go to the countryside, but in order to get rid of Xie Yuan and Qin Xue, she secretly signed up, thinking that she would go to the countryside for a few years and then come back after Qin Xue got her hands on him.

When everything settles down, she can start a new life.

Little did she know that Xie Yuan was following her. After learning that she had signed up to go to the countryside, he signed up without hesitation and even used tricks to get their addresses in the same place.

Qin Xue, being a loyal sycophant, naturally chose to follow suit, resulting in the current situation.

Honestly, Gu An'an felt quite sorry for Zhou Yue while reading the book, and now seeing this situation, she just wanted to pat her on the shoulder and say, "You've worked hard all these years."

It's not just tough, those two are complete selfish and insane. Anyone who encounters them would find it extremely agonizing.
