Commander Zhou sighed inwardly, but didn't show it on his face. He smiled, took out an envelope containing money and tickets, and handed it to Zhong Wanwan, saying:
"Thank you very much for your technical support, Comrade Zhong. This is our thank-you gift. Have a safe trip, Comrade Zhong. We may need to trouble you again in the future."
Zhong Wanwan smiled and agreed:
"It's my duty, it's what I should do. I can't accept this. You're protecting us, and it's my honor to be able to help in any way."
Zhong Wanwan didn't intend to receive anything when she came this time.
Zhong Wanwan is genuinely happy to be able to make even a small contribution to the country and the military.
The country is not wealthy right now, and the military is also tightening its belt. There's not much she can do, but she can still do it without adding any burden.
Commander Zhou forcefully stuffed the item into Zhong Wanwan's hand, insisting that he wouldn't take it back.
Zhong Wanwan thought for a moment, then took all the money out of the envelope, leaving only the tickets given to her by Commander Zhou, and said:
"Commander Zhou, these tickets are enough. I will not accept the money under any circumstances!"
"Would you like to take it back now, or should I spend more money to send it back to you?"
Upon hearing this, Commander Zhou grew even more fond of Zhong Wanwan. It was truly rare for a girl who was about the same age as his daughter to have such awareness!
Commander Zhou took the money back, patted Zhong Wanwan on the shoulder, and said:
"Thank you so much! Please call me if you need anything!"
Zhong Wanwan smiled and agreed, waved goodbye to Commander Zhou, and entered the train station.
Not long after entering the train station, Zhong Wanwan felt someone watching her.
Having been trained by Old Man Zhong since childhood, Zhong Wanwan is very sensitive to other people's gazes.
She could clearly feel that someone was watching her from the left, right, and behind her. The two people were not close to her, but their gazes were very unfriendly.
Especially the one on the right rear, it gave Zhong Wanwan goosebumps.
Zhong Wanwan squatted down, pretending to tie her shoelaces, and glanced to her right and behind her. There was an old woman leading a girl who looked about 15 or 16 years old, and the girl was holding a small child in her arms.
Zhong Wanwan did not let her guard down. She came from a future era with advanced information technology, so she naturally knew that the more harmless a person seemed, the more dangerous they were.
It's unreasonable that such an elderly and frail group wouldn't have an adult male by their side.
Something was definitely amiss. Zhong Wanwan didn't want to pay attention to the old woman. She quickly got up with her luggage and started running.
Zhong Wanwan's move caught everyone off guard, leaving both groups of people staring at her completely bewildered.
I don't know where things went wrong. How come I took a fancy to a young and pretty girl, but before I could even make a move, she ran away?
This doesn't make sense. Did they get exposed?
As soon as Zhong Wanwan ran off, the old lady quickly got up and hurried to the man on her left, saying:
"What's going on? Did she find out? How many times have I told you not to stare at every pretty girl you see? Don't you remember?"
The man was short and looked honest and kind, but he said angrily:
"I just glanced at it, I didn't do anything, how could I possibly notice from this distance?"
"Could it be that your eyes are too sharp and someone noticed?"
Another burly man beside him said:
"Alright, alright, stop arguing and hurry up and look for it. You might not find such a good item for years. If you sell it in Hong Kong, it won't fetch a low price!"
The old lady wholeheartedly agreed:
"That's exactly what they say. One of hers is worth more than 20 of the average ones. After we pull off this job, we can rest for at least half a year!"
If Zhong Wanwan hadn't been so beautiful, they wouldn't have bothered looking for someone at the train station.
They weren't looking for the ordinary girls sold in the mountains; they wanted the best, beautiful and well-proportioned, preferably clean and pretty young women.
If she's married, she can't have had children, otherwise she won't fetch a high price!
Of course, it would be even better if this girl didn't have any relatives.
