Chapter 55 Shen Yang's Call
I'm too lazy to eat by myself, I just want to stay at home alone and don't go out.
"Take good care of yourself at home, eat well, and don't make me worry about you while I'm out, okay?"
"I know. When you went on your mission, I took good care of myself, didn't I?" She just didn't want to cook elaborate dishes; it wasn't that she wasn't eating.
It's just that Gu Yunting wasn't home and he was too lazy to make anything complicated, so he just ate something simple.
"I trust you."
The next day, before Gu Yunting was about to leave, Zheng Jiayu was suddenly awakened by pain.
Rubbing her head, which suddenly started to ache, Zheng Jiayu opened her eyes and looked at Gu Yunting, who was carefully getting dressed.
A scene appeared on Gu Yunting's body.
They will be injured during this mission.
Upon seeing this, Zheng Jiayu suddenly sat up.
Gu Yunting, who was getting dressed, noticed that Zheng Jiayu had woken up and quickly looked up: "Jiayu, did I wake you up?"
Zheng Jiayu shook her head: "You didn't wake me up. I woke up because of a headache."
"You must be careful on this mission. The enemy is prepared. It's best to bring more people and weapons with you. Be careful," Zheng Jiayu said to Gu Yunting with concern.
Gu Yunting placed his hand on Zheng Jiayu's shoulder: "Did you see it again?"
Zheng Jiayu nodded with a grim expression; she had indeed seen some things she shouldn't have.
Gu Yunting nodded seriously: "I've remembered everything you said. I'll take an extra team with me, and I'll bring extra weapons. Don't worry, we'll be fine."
Zheng Jiayu nodded, as long as Gu Yunting listened, everything would be fine.
"You continue to rest, I'll get dressed and get ready to leave."
Zheng Jiayu watched Gu Yunting leave, and only after a long time had passed did she slowly close her eyes and fall asleep again.
When Gu Yunting arrived, he went directly to his superior and told him about the matter.
The leader believed in Zheng Jiayu's abilities, so he not only doubled the number of men but also brought more weapons to prevent them from getting hurt or having any accidents.
Gu Yunting and his group left secretly, and then there was no further news.
During the few days that Gu Yunting was away on his mission, Zheng Jiayu did the same thing as before: she would go for a walk on the mountain every day, or chat with everyone in the family compound.
After learning that Gu Yunting had gone on a mission, Shen Xizhen hadn't originally planned to come and find Zheng Jiayu.
But then he suddenly received a call from Shen Yang.
"Dad, why are you calling me all of a sudden? Did something happen?"
"Did Gu Yunting go on a mission?"
Shen Xizhen nodded in agreement: "Gu Yunting has indeed gone on a mission. This mission will probably last for several days. Dad, is there something you want to talk to me about?"
Shen Yang nodded and said, "Gu Yunting and the others won't be coming back from this mission. You should start contacting Zheng Jiayu."
Upon hearing this news, Shen Xizhen was stunned and asked incredulously, "Dad, how did you know about this? The people who went there are all very capable; it's impossible for them not to come back. You must be..."
“This was done by our people. Even if Gu Yunting and his group go, they will die. After all, there are many people waiting for them. This is a trap set for them. You must win over Zheng Jiayu after Gu Yunting’s accident and make her fall in love with you,” Shen Yang said seriously.
Listening to what her father said, Shen Xi felt a strange unease in her heart.
She had experienced this many times before, but when she experienced it again, Shen Xi still felt very sad.
He seemed to be just a pawn in his father's hands, of little use, whose only purpose was to help his father complete his tasks.
"What? You're unwilling to do things my way?"
Hearing Shen Yang's dissatisfied voice, Shen Xizhen reacted and said, "How could that be? Dad, I've remembered everything you said. I will make Zheng Jiayu only like me, you can rest assured."
Shen Yang nodded in satisfaction: "It's best if you know, this is very important to our family, you must do as I say."
Seeing how much Shen Yang cared about Zheng Jiayu, Shen Xizhen finally couldn't help but ask, "Dad, does Zheng Jiayu have something you want?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
Seeing that Shen Yang was unwilling to talk, Shen Xi knew that his guess was pretty much right.
That must be what I'm thinking.
"Dad, about this matter, we..."
"Alright, you don't need to worry about this. I know what I'm doing, and you need to understand that this isn't your business. Do you understand?" Shen Yang interrupted Shen Xizhen.
These matters are not for Shen Xizhen to meddle in.
They don't even deserve to know these things.
Shen Xizhen frowned, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable about what her father had said.
"Dad, are you going to keep all this from me? What exactly do you want? You can tell me directly. Only by knowing your secrets can I better complete the tasks you assign me." He knows nothing now, he's completely in the dark. What's the difference between him and a blind man?
And judging from his appearance, it seems he never intended to tell me about his plans.
Shen Yang was really unhappy with Shen Xizhen's persistent pursuit.
"Alright, there are some things that are none of your business, so don't ask any more questions. No matter how many you ask, I won't tell you."
Hearing Shen Yang's impatient words, Shen Xizhen suddenly thought of something and asked Shen Yang, "Dad, is it related to the matter in Bashu?"
Upon hearing Shen Xizhen's question, Shen Yang's voice immediately turned gloomy: "Shen Xizhen, I've made it very clear to you, don't ask questions you shouldn't ask, these are not things you should know."
After finishing his sentence, Shen Yang continued, "You just need to do the things I've given you well and make Zheng Jiayu devoted to you. Don't ask any other questions. Even if you do ask, I won't tell you."
Shen Xizhen wanted to say something, but the call was disconnected.
Looking down at the phone that had just been hung up, Shen Xizhen frowned.
His guess was indeed correct. A lot of things happened in Sichuan and Chongqing. Some very important things were lost there, and the person involved was surnamed Zheng.
Are these Zheng Jiayu's parents?
So, his father was the one who killed Zheng Jiayu's parents.
This makes things difficult.
When Shen Lin returned, she saw Shen Xizhen sitting there with a very serious expression, seemingly lost in thought.
He sat down next to Shen Xizhen and waved his hand in front of Shen Xizhen: "Brother, what are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed."
Shen Xizhen turned to look at Shen Lin beside her, and said with a forced smile, "I was thinking about Zheng Jiayu."
Upon hearing Zheng Jiayu's name, Shen Lin immediately became interested: "Did Dad give you some kind of task? Or is it some other news?"
