Chapter 372 H Province, Municipal Party Committee Compound
It was already afternoon when the two of them found their way back to the train station. Because she was kidnapped and her luggage was lost, Song Jinan had little money left. In the end, she could only shamelessly eat the sesame pancake that Gu Yuehuai had treated her to.
He didn't doubt why Gu Yuehuai still had money on him. He ate his cake and said embarrassedly: "Comrade Gu, I have to trouble you to buy a ticket for me. I will return the money to you when we arrive in H Province."
This is the first time I’ve spent a girl’s money since I was a child, and I feel uncomfortable deep down.
Gu Yuehuai ate his cake lazily and said indifferently, "You're welcome."
The two of them had a simple meal, and Gu Yuehuai went to buy tickets. Feng City still could not go directly to H Province, and it would require two changes of trains. Given Song Jinan's current condition, they would have to travel together all the way.
It was not until she got on the train that Song Jinan's tense nerves relaxed. She looked at Feng City in the distance and pursed her lips.
He smiled bitterly and said, "I never thought that a grown-up like me would be kidnapped by human traffickers one day."
Gu Yuehuai looked out the window without saying anything. In fact, if it weren't for Xing Jian, a weirdo who kidnapped and extorted people, it's not certain that anyone would kidnap a young man. Of course, there would not be such a big man who would fall for it and be cheated.
Song Jinan didn't care about Gu Yuehuai's silence. He felt that the latter had already forgiven his previous actions by rescuing him from the human traffickers. He opened his mouth to explain a few more words about Tian Jing, but was afraid of touching Gu Yuehuai's sore spot, so he didn't say anything.
But he was not used to the quiet and silence at the moment. After thinking about it, he took the initiative to find a topic: "You said before that the person behind this group of human traffickers is the son-in-law of the director of Feng City Liuli Factory?"
Although he is simple, he is not stupid and knows what topics he can talk about with Gu Yuehuai.
Gu Yuehuai glanced back at him, noticing the discomfort in his eyes, but did not expose his feelings. He said, "I just heard what they said. This is my first time in Feng City, and I don't know what the situation is in Liulichang. You still need to investigate this."
"Don't worry, I'll let you know when I get the news." Song Jinan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw her take over the conversation.
However, thinking of Gu Yuehuai's purpose of going to H Province, his eyes dimmed slightly, and he said, "Where will you live in H Province? Let me arrange a place for you. If you can't enter the Eighth Military Region, I can also help you send a letter to Shao Yu."
After hearing this, Gu Yuehuai was stunned for a rare moment, looked up and down at Song Jinan, and shook his head slightly.
She knew a little about Song Jinan's thoughts. Perhaps it was because she had said a lot about Tian Jing in front of him in this life, which led to his not having deep feelings for the latter. Instead, he had some subtle and complicated feelings for her.
Driven by this emotion, he was even able to help her send a letter to Yan Shaoyu. This guy was not really that bad.
Gu Yuehuai hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can you help me send a letter to him?"
Song Jinan nodded: "The Eighth Military Region has very strict control. It is difficult for ordinary people to even get close. Family members also have fixed visits. I don't know the specific situation, but I can send a letter to him for you and ask if he can visit."
This time Gu Yuehuai did not refuse and said politely: "Thank you then."
This was her first time to come to the Eighth Military Region, and also her first time to visit relatives as a military dependent. She really didn't expect that outsiders were not allowed to enter. If Song Jinan hadn't told her in advance, this trip would have been in vain.
"It's okay, I'm glad I could help you." Song Jinan waved his hands, the smile on his face a little forced.
The atmosphere fell silent, and the two did not continue chatting.
The rest of the journey was very smooth. Song Jinan was preoccupied and injured, so he did not go out to meddle in other people's affairs. Gu Yuehuai was afraid that his body could not hold on, so he generously gave him some healing power.
Two days later, the two finally got off the train and arrived in H Province. It was by the sea and it was as cold as ice and snow.
Huaihai City is the capital city of H Province. It is located at the southernmost tip of H Province and is also an important node connecting the south and the north.
Standing at the entrance of Huaihai Station, Song Jinan said to Gu Yuehuai: "Come with me to the Municipal Party Committee compound first. I will arrange accommodation for you when we get there. Then you can take a rest and write a letter to me. I will help you send it to the Eighth Military Region."
Gu Yuehuai thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Except for taking a nap on the train, she had been awake all the time for the past two days and was really exhausted. She helped Song Jinan come to Huaihai City, although she had a purpose, but he accepted the favor, so she could naturally enjoy his return gift with peace of mind.
And if she left, Song Jinan would not be able to tell her Yan Shaoyu's reply immediately.
Seeing that Gu Yuehuai agreed, Song Jinan's eyebrows relaxed: "Let's go, the Municipal Party Committee compound is a bit far from here."
As soon as he left the train station, Gu Yuehuai saw the bus station and said, "Let's take a bus."
Song Jinan looked at her and nodded silently. He had no money to buy a ticket, so Gu Yuehuai had the final say.
Huaihai City is a provincial capital, and its buses are of very good quality and condition. The quality of the bus attendants at the stations is much higher than that of small counties. At least they don't act like they are rich and powerful in front of the passengers.
The two got in the car and the journey was very smooth. The driver's driving skills were also very skillful.
About half an hour later, we finally arrived at the Municipal Party Committee compound.
The municipal party committee compound is where the leading cadres live. There are armed forces stationed outside and the security measures are very in place.
Song Jinan brought Gu Yuehuai to the gate of the Municipal Party Committee compound and were immediately stopped by security guards. After Song Jinan negotiated with them, someone went in to report. After an unknown amount of time, a somewhat unfamiliar young man came out with the guards.
"Brother Shi Bo!" When Song Jinan saw the person coming, a smile appeared on his face and his voice was also friendly.
The young man smiled at Song Jinan. They were obviously very familiar with each other. When he approached, he was about to pat Song Jinan on the shoulder, but when he saw the bruises on his face, he frowned and asked, "What's wrong with your face?"
Song Jinan subconsciously reached out and touched his face, feeling a sharp pain, and said with a wry smile: "Let's talk about it after we go in."
Shi Bo pursed his lips and nodded, then led Song Jinan into the municipal party committee compound.
Song Jinan turned around and waved to Gu Yuehuai, and said, "Comrade Gu, come in with me first, and let's have a meal. I will tell my dad about Feng City's affairs, and I will not live in the Municipal Party Committee compound anymore. I will arrange another place for you to live."
He also knew that living in the Municipal Party Committee compound was not very convenient, and Gu Yuehuai would not like it here.
Gu Yuehuai nodded. She also wanted to hear how Song Jinan would convince Song Lin.
The two followed behind Shi Bo, and Song Jinan introduced him in a low voice: "This brother Shi Bo is my father's secretary. He is only 30 years old and very capable. My father often praises him for his promising future and that he is a reliable person."
Gu Yuehuai nodded thoughtfully and took note of this person.
The downfall of the Yan family was the result of the joint efforts of multiple forces. At that time, the Song family and the Yan family were on good terms, but the latter declined while the former became more prosperous. If you say there is no connection between the two, I'm afraid no one will believe it.
Song Lin must have played a role that cannot be underestimated in this matter, so it would not hurt for people around him to remember more about him.
