Gu Tingzhi and Fu Chaosheng stayed behind, while Xu Jing took Meng Fuyan and left first.
In terms of martial arts skills, Xu Jing was indeed no match for Fu Chaosheng. Although he was worried, he ultimately listened to Gu Tingzhi's advice and left with Meng Fuyan first. After all, if it was just an investigation, the more people there were, the easier it would be to be exposed, so it was better to leave first.
“Then, I’ll take her first. You can keep the car. If you encounter any danger, you must run away immediately. I’ll go down the mountain to call Song Shiyan.”
“No need!” Gu Tingzhi interrupted him. “We didn’t come in very secret either. If Song Shiyan wants to investigate, he should be able to find out. He’s probably on his way by now. You guys go back first, and we’ll talk about it when Chaosheng and I get back.”
"With such a powerful force, and the need to go abroad, how many connections would they have to pull to make it happen? This is not something we can handle; we must inform our families."
Xu Jing understood. "Alright, be careful, we're leaving now."
Xu Jing led Meng Fuyan away first. The visibility was much better in the snow. They had left the dangerous area. Although the road was difficult to travel, it was much safer.
Following Xu Jing all the way to the mountainside, we finally saw the car hidden in the woods. The road was not far away, and a bicycle was covered in a haystack on the side.
"You even brought a bicycle?" Meng Fuyan asked in surprise.
"By the way, this car is big enough to fit everyone, so I brought one along. It's convenient to use. The road is not far away, and I was worried about being discovered, so I separated it from the car. That way, even if we are exposed, we might still be able to save one of us."
"Leave the car to them, I'll take you away on my bike."
"Um!"
The descent was quick; they arrived at the nearby county town in forty minutes. Xu Jing took Meng Fuyan to a nearby guesthouse to stay. The rooms had been booked in advance, and they had all the letters of introduction, including Meng Fuyan's. However, to conceal their identities, they used fake identification information.
Once inside the room, Xu Jing instructed, "Go back and get some rest. Call me immediately if you need anything; I'm right next door."
Meng Fuyan agreed and returned to her room.
Things were easier than she had imagined. After going through all that and completely separating herself from Wu Guozhu, Meng Fuyan still felt it was all worthwhile.
This was the 1970s, and even the slightest disturbance could be fatal, especially if it involved enemy agents. The Meng family was already extremely wealthy, so they had to be extra careful in this regard. Now, she hadn't paid any price to separate herself from the Wu family and become a victim, which was well worth it.
Yunji must have been terrified!
Meng Fuyan locked the door, washed up in the space, took out her bedding, and prepared to rest for a while, but Gu Tingzhi did not return. She felt uneasy and could not fall asleep.
She was still half asleep when she finally got up to go find Xu Jing. Xu Jing hadn't slept well either and was getting up to wake her. That's how the two met at the door.
Seeing each other's dark circles, we understood.
"Let's go, let's go take a look at the foot of the mountain."
Just as Meng Fuyan was about to nod, a familiar voice reached her ears.
"What are you looking at? Are you looking for us?"
She turned her head and saw Gu Tingzhi slowly approaching. He was unharmed and completely unscathed!
Joy instantly filled his chest, "Gu Tingzhi!"
Meng Fuyan almost instinctively rushed towards him. Gu Tingzhi opened his arms and pulled her into his embrace. This was the first time the girl had been so intimate with him.
Only after truly embracing this person did Meng Fuyan finally feel relieved. "You're back. Are you alright?"
Gu Tingzhi smiled and ruffled her hair. "It's alright!"
Xu Jing watched from the side, and seeing their expressions, he smiled meaningfully.
"Boss, I'm so glad you're alright. Where's Chaosheng? Come back and rest!"
Gu Tingzhi shook his head, "You pack your things, we'll leave now and go to the city. Chaosheng is in the car, breakfast has already been bought, go eat in the car. I'll take Yanyan to pack her things, we'll talk in the car later."
Xu Jing's expression changed. "Okay, I'll be right there."
Gu Tingzhi took Meng Fuyan's hand and went to the next room.
The door closed, and the room became completely quiet.
"What happened? How come..."
Meng Fuyan was a little worried, but before she could finish speaking, Gu Tingzhi pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly, so tightly that she could hardly breathe.
His large, strong hands cradled the back of her head, pulling her close to his chest.
After a busy night, he finally had time to have a proper talk with his girl.
"Did they give you any trouble along the way?"
Held in her arms, Meng Fuyan felt a mix of emotions. Rationally, she had always disapproved of her developing a romantic relationship with Gu Tingzhi. Love could sometimes help you transcend social classes, but at other times, it was also incredibly unreliable.
Because love can change, once a breakup occurs, it's likely to end badly.
In this world, nothing is more solid than a relationship based on mutual interests.
He had said in his past life that he would not marry her, so despite some regret, she obediently remained only a business partner.
Having been reborn into this life, she wanted to continue the path of her previous life, but what is he doing now?
"Brother Gu, what's wrong?"
Gu Tingzhi insisted, "Tell me, did they give you any trouble? Did they hit you?"
"No, Wu Guozhu took me to the main road. At that fork in the road, two men in a truck appeared. Wu Guozhu was going to sell me. They tried to drug me with a handkerchief smeared with sleeping pills, but I was on guard and didn't faint."
"It seems like they've been searching for beautiful women lately, it's like a mission from above. They finally found me, and those two guys really valued me. They didn't make things difficult for me, they just put me in a truck and took me all the way back to the base. Once we got there, they took me to see Brother Kun, and then Brother Kun's woman took me back to her room. I drugged her in the middle of the night and ran out to check on her, and that's when I ran into you."
Gu Tingzhi let out a breath, feeling less guilty. He was really worried that he hadn't arrived in time and that she would suffer.
Since his rebirth, everything had gone smoothly for him, and he had been in complete control of everything. This was the first time something had slipped out of his control.
"It's good that you're alright! It's good that you're alright!"
Meng Fuyan slowly raised her head and looked at him, her expression questioning yet tinged with a hint of expectation, "Brother Gu, what's wrong? Why are you so... concerned about me?"
Her response was his face getting closer and closer.
The face loomed larger and closer before her eyes, their breaths mingling. As she was enveloped by that warmth, Meng Fuyan's eyes widened instantly. This was her first kiss in both her past and present lives.
She remembered countless times when his eyes held tender affection as he looked at her, but every time she was about to believe that he liked her, he would return to normal. Later, he even explicitly said that he would not marry her, which is when she finally gave up completely.
Now……
She's lost her way of thinking!
