"Dean Xu?"
As soon as Bai Yunshu finished speaking, Qiao Yu looked at him abruptly, his surprise barely concealed.
"You want to know how I know?"
Qiao Yu was still in shock and hadn't recovered yet, so he just nodded blankly.
This reaction is tantamount to admitting guilt without being asked.
Bai Yunshu said helplessly, "Besides him, no one else over there would go to such lengths to send people over to protect me."
Qiao Yu scratched his head. Since everyone had already guessed, he was too lazy to pretend anymore.
"My dad was Dean Xu's student. My family felt that Kyoto was too chaotic right now, so they decided to send me to the countryside to avoid it."
Dean Xu needs to know your news in a timely manner. Since he's going to the countryside anyway, he might as well come here and look after you.
We can help take care of you. Liangzi's family situation isn't good either, so he came with me. Dean Xu said that as long as we help take care of you, we can keep him informed.
He will do his best to protect our family members.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yunshu felt a lump in his throat and his heart swelled.
Bai Yajing approached him, knowing that he was feeling complicated at the moment, and gently patted him to comfort him.
Grandpa Xu really went to great lengths for his uncle.
"Parents love their children and plan far ahead for them. Uncle, if there's a chance in the future, let's bring Grandpa Xu over and take care of him together, okay?"
Bai Yunshu looked up, took a few deep breaths to compose himself, and rubbed her head. "Okay, let's take care of the elderly in our family together."
Xiao Che, not to be outdone, stepped forward and declared, "Count me in! Me too!"
Qiao Yu wasn't interested in the topic of providing for someone's old age and couldn't join the conversation. Seeing that it was getting late, he simply suggested that they go down the mountain and go back first.
After descending the mountain, Kang An led his men directly back to the town.
Before leaving, he secretly pulled Bai Yajing aside.
"Ya Jing, go back and tell my grandfather that I need to go back to the station to interrogate the people behind them, so I won't be going home for a while."
After saying that, he ran away as if he were being chased by a dog.
Bai Yajing was left standing there, disheveled in the wind.
This guy! He was afraid of getting beaten up, so he made her go and talk to the brigade leader!
Where did that smugness go? Calling him "Comrade Kang Zhiguo" and "Comrade Kang Huaiming" all the time, now he's scared!
As soon as Liu Meiling arrived, she only saw a figure running away at top speed.
Who is it?
"What a coward! A coward who loves to play!"
Liu Meiling didn't understand, so she simply skipped the topic.
"Jiang Wenming left shortly after you went up the mountain, and we haven't seen him since. Oh, and Qiao Yu followed him too, so how come he's with you now?"
And why are Bai Yunshu's eyes a little red? What happened?
Bai Yajing didn't hide anything from her and told her the situation.
However, the identity of the younger uncle was not mentioned; it was only said that Qiao Yu and Zhao Liang were sent by higher-ups to protect him. The research he had participated in was very important.
Liu Meiling understood. Bai Yunshu must be moved. It's something to be proud of to have one's talent recognized.
"Li Xingyue did try to find Comrade Xiao's whereabouts, but couldn't. However, she stayed obediently at the educated youth settlement afterward and didn't go anywhere else."
Bai Yajing hadn't completely let go of her suspicions about Li Xingyue. This time, instead of luring the person out, she had lured out an ally, which left her both amused and exasperated.
