Chapter 41 The instructor wants to see Su Mengxue!
Su Mengxue? This was the first time Lin Wenbin heard him mention another woman.
He only knew that he had been engaged to the Jiang family since he was young, and he hadn't seen any woman around him in these years. He thought he was always waiting for the lost child of the Jiang family.
He asked in a deep voice: "Su Mengxue is your unmarried daughter-in-law, so what about the missing daughter of the Jiang family?"
Gu Yunting lowered his eyes for a moment and replied calmly, "Shi Yi's disappearance has something to do with me. I will continue to look for her. As for the engagement, it was made by our elders when we were young. It is no longer valid in this new society."
Lin Wenbin paced around the room for a moment with his hands behind his back, then said in a deep voice, "It's rare for you to ask me for help. I'll send someone to investigate this matter."
Gu Yunting knew Lin Wenbin's character, and the stone in his heart immediately fell to the ground. The tense expression on his face also relaxed a lot: "Thank you, instructor."
Lin Wenbin raised his hand to interrupt him, reminding him, "I'm just helping you investigate the facts of this matter. If she's truly been wronged, then she'll be fine. If not, then the sentence should be whatever it is. Don't get involved."
Gu Yunting straightened his back, saluted Lin Wenbin solemnly, and replied, "Yes, instructor." He immediately added, "Then I won't bother you anymore."
He walked out with big strides, but before he had taken a few steps, he was stopped by Lin Wenbin.
"When this matter is over, bring her to my house for dinner."
Gu Yunting was stunned for a moment, then turned around and asked knowingly, "Instructor, do you want to see her?"
Seeing his panic, Lin Wenbin narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Gu Yunting, she is really your wife-to-be. You didn't trick me to save her, did you?"
Gu Yunting's Adam's apple rolled as he responded, "Instructor, how dare I lie to you?"
Lin Wenbin scoffed and sat back in his chair. "I'm not going to eat her, so why are you so nervous? Although you're a top performer at work, you might not be as insightful in relationships. My wife and I will help you keep an eye on things so you don't get scammed."
"Instructor, I...she is not that kind of person. She won't lie to me." Gu Yunting replied firmly.
"Gu Yunting, you haven't even gotten married yet, and you're already protecting someone. This is the first time I've seen you like this. Okay, don't overthink it. I have my own selfish motives. My wife likes you and has always wanted to find you a partner. If you bring someone here, she'll give up on this idea, and I'll have peace of mind."
…
Seeing Gu Yunting remain silent, Lin Wenbin frowned and said with a sullen face, "Why, I, Lin Wenbin, can't invite you two?"
Gu Yunting knew he couldn't refuse anymore, so he kept replying, "No, I just didn't want to cause you any trouble."
"Why are you causing so much trouble? Alright, get out now."
"Yes, instructor."
Gu Yunting saluted and left with a heavy heart.
At the same time, Su Mengxue, who was lying on the bed in the detention center, was in a terrible mood. She had just traveled from modern society and wanted to do something big, but she fell flat on her face first. She realized that although there were many business opportunities here, there were more restrictions.
Tomorrow is the time she and Shen Yanzhi had agreed upon. If she cannot show up as scheduled, and he gives the jade pendant away or sells it to someone else, where will she find it?
This jade pendant is related to whether she can return to modern society. If she really can't find it, then she...
Thinking of this, she suddenly sat up from the bed. She knew that the most urgent thing was to get out quickly, but she had no idea at the moment. She could only stare blankly at the dilapidated beams above her head.
Not only she, but also Gu Yunting, hadn't slept all night. The first thing he did when he returned to the Gu family was to ask Sun Suqin about the matter. Sun Suqin denied it flatly. But her expression had already betrayed her.
This was also the first time she got angry at her eldest sister-in-law, Sun Suqin. He sternly warned her, "If you bully Su Mengxue again, I won't be so easy to talk to."
After saying that, he returned to his yard. He saw the house that was polished to a shine, full of traces of Su Mengxue's residence. He was a rough man. After Su Mengxue came, he saw the bottles and jars she placed on the cabinet, and then he realized that women needed so many things.
At this moment, his mind was filled with her image: the way she glared and pouted at him, the way he mocked her and she laughed instead of getting angry, the way she was almost bullied by a gangster and cowered in a corner, helpless and scared, and the way she stiffened her neck and argued...
He leaned against the door frame, staring at the night in a daze, with strange thoughts running through his mind.
…
After finishing his morning exercises, Gu Yunting, who had not slept all night, went to Lin Wenbin's office to ask for the results. Naturally, he was kicked out.
After lunch break, he knocked on Lin Wenbin's office door again. He didn't care whether Lin Wenbin responded or not, he just rushed in.
Lin Wenbin knew how anxious he was about this matter, and just as he was about to send someone to call him, he rushed over in a hurry.
Seeing his reckless behavior, he said sternly, "Gu Yunting, you're so anxious that you don't even care about military discipline. How disgraceful! You're going to run 20 laps around the playground right now."
Seeing that Lin Wenbin didn't mention this matter, Gu Yunting thought that there must be no result yet. He saluted and responded, then turned around and walked out in disappointment.
Just as he was about to reach the door, Lin Wenbin softened his tone and said, "I'll remember the 20 laps for you. Now go to the Public Security Bureau to pick someone up."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunting was so excited that he almost jumped up. He suppressed his joy and asked again, "Instructor, is this true?"
Lin Wenbin sneered and jokingly said, "Who was it yesterday who said she was wrongly accused? Now you're asking me about it."
Gu Yunting said repeatedly: "Yes, I have always known that she was wronged."
"I heard from the Public Security Bureau that this girl scolded them yesterday for being perfunctory in their work. She's a very interesting girl. How about this, today is worse than tomorrow night? Bring her to my house for dinner and I'll meet her in person."
Gu Yunting couldn't help but feel worried when he thought of Su Mengxue's fearless character. Besides, he hadn't had the chance to explain to her about the lie he had told the instructor, so he was afraid that she might not cooperate.
Just when he didn't know how to decline, Lin Wenbin spoke up: "What are you still standing here for? Go quickly."
Gu Yunting knew it was inappropriate to say anything else, so he responded and left.
After leaving the army, he drove straight to the Public Security Bureau. After he arrived and chatted with the public security comrade in charge of the matter, he learned that Lu Yuanzhou had already paid the fine for Su Mengxue.
He frowned immediately, but now was not the time to talk about this, so he suppressed his emotions and went to find Su Mengxue under the guidance of the public security comrades.
When the two of them were about to turn the corner, he heard the voices of Su Mengxue and Lu Yuanzhou.
"Mengxue, it's such a shame that the clothes you made for me with so much care were ruined like this."
"It's okay. When you take it off later, I'll help you sew it up. I promise it'll be as good as new."
"Really? That's fantastic."
Su Mengxue raised an eyebrow. She didn't have enough money. She had only paid 200 yuan. Lu Yuanzhou had helped her make up the remaining 300 yuan fine. Not only that, Lu Yuanzhou had also forced ten big unity banknotes on her as labor fee. She really should thank him. She was about to speak when she saw Gu Yunting suddenly appear.
She didn't bother to thank Lu Yuanzhou. She quickly walked up to Gu Yunting and said coldly, "Gu Yunting, if you came here to laugh at me, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. I'm fine."
