Meng Fuyan was about to sit in the back, but Gu Tingzhi stopped her and shouted to Xu Jing in the passenger seat, "Get out!"
Xu Jing was taken aback. He was enjoying his meal when he was suddenly yelled at, which startled him. He looked at the two people outside the window and immediately understood.
Without saying a word, he immediately got off the bus and sat in the back.
Meng Fuyan: "..."
Gu Tingzhi opened the car door and spoke to Meng Fuyan with a slightly ingratiating tone, "Get in, it's cold outside!"
Meng Fuyan remained silent and got into the car.
After everyone got on the bus, Gu Tingzhi took out breakfast and handed it to Meng Fuyan, saying, "It's still warm, eat it while it's hot."
He started the car and drove away from the guesthouse. Meng Fuyan held a steamed bun and ate it with her head down, without saying a word.
The atmosphere was a little strange.
Xu Jing sensed something was off. Sitting in the back, he looked at the back of Gu Tingzhi's head and then at the back of Meng Fuyan's head. He felt something was amiss. He nudged Fu Chaosheng next to him with his elbow. This guy had already finished breakfast and hadn't done anything. He just sat there silently, his eyes occasionally glancing out of the car, probably checking for any danger. He was completely oblivious to the state of Gu Tingzhi and Meng Fuyan inside the car.
Xu Jing sighed inwardly. Sure enough, he shouldn't have had any expectations of Lao Fu in this kind of thing.
Gu Tingzhi, who was driving, was also quite nervous. Seeing that Meng Fuyan remained silent, he became anxious, knowing that she was unhappy and wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know how to say it.
If something is uncertain, and he doesn't even know what's going on, how can he explain it to others?
Fortunately, Xu Jing was a thoughtful follower, and he took the initiative to speak, easing the awkwardness.
"Boss, how did your reconnaissance go last night? Why are you leaving so early this morning? Is it dangerous?"
Gu Tingzhi replied, "Last night went relatively smoothly. We've figured out all the locations. The reason we're taking you away immediately is because we're worried that they'll find Yanyan missing when it gets light and start searching everywhere. This county is too close to that base, so there are bound to be many of their spies there. The chances of us being found are too high. So we're leaving first and going to the city."
Xu Jing nodded. "Have you contacted Song Shiyan yet?"
"Not yet, I'll contact him again when we get to the city. He might have already arrived."
Xu Jing frowned. "If he arrives so quickly, does that mean we should take action? Besides, Meng Fuyan is missing, so those people should be on guard. With Song Shiyan coming, if the person behind him notices and moves those people in advance, it will be terrible. We need to act immediately, but we don't have enough manpower. If we don't act, the possibility of being exposed will increase."
Gu Tingzhi's face was full of confidence. "No need to wait. I've already arranged for people to make their move as soon as Song Shiyan arrives."
Xu Jing understood. "That's good. Stop the car."
"What's wrong?"
"I'll drive, boss, you take a break, there's still a tough battle ahead!"
Gu Tingzhi didn't refuse and stopped the car. Xu Jing got out of the car and pulled Meng Fuyan out as well. "You sit in the back and take care of the boss. He's exhausted these past two days. There's going to be a war later, so he'll be busy again."
"Chaosheng, come sit with me in the front."
Meng Fuyan rolled her eyes. You really are your boss's sweet little cotton-padded jacket.
However, she didn't refuse and sat down in the back row with Gu Tingzhi.
Xu Jing's words were not without reason. Gu Tingzhi had indeed been very busy these past two days, and there were still tough battles to fight ahead. Even if she had concerns or anger in her heart, she wouldn't express them at this time. She would wait until everything was resolved before speaking out.
Bringing that criminal gang to justice is not only beneficial to others, but also to themselves.
The car started up again. Gu Tingzhi sat next to Meng Fuyan, turning his head to look at the person beside him. The little girl hadn't said a word, and he felt bad about it.
Indeed, they went too far.
He took advantage of the girl and didn't even offer an explanation.
"Yanyan, I'll explain everything to you as soon as possible, at most half a month. I'll tell you whatever the outcome is then, okay?"
Meng Fuyan turned to look at him.
He didn't explain clearly, so of course she was unhappy, but if you asked how angry she was, it seemed like she wasn't really that angry.
Having spent a lifetime together in her past life, she still understands Gu Tingzhi well. As a business partner, he is very reliable, and as a partner, he would be a very good person as well.
Having experienced the prosperity of the 21st century, a girl naturally values a man's character more. Meng Fuyan is not a pretentious person. She was born into a wealthy family in both her past and present lives, and was a top-tier "rich, beautiful, and successful" woman in both lifetimes. She also came from a military family, so she was born without knowing what inferiority was.
In her past life, she did prefer to maintain a business partnership with Gu Tingzhi, but if Gu Tingzhi hadn't explicitly stated that he wouldn't marry her, she definitely would have made a move against him.
In her past life, he said he wouldn't marry her, and he was very patient and restrained. She couldn't even tell whether he loved her or not, so she naturally wouldn't cross the line just to be on the safe side.
What about this lifetime?
During the silence she had just endured, she had been pondering whether she should... change her strategy, since many things were different in this life.
When you like someone, the feeling is too obvious. Meng Fuyan never believed the so-called argument that you don't know who you like. When she was in modern times, she read a lot of romance novels with her best friend out of boredom. Some of the male and female protagonists clearly liked the other person but said they didn't know and even hurt them. In the end, they paid the price with a broken heart and realized that they liked the other person, but it was too late.
Every time she sees this kind of scene, she and her best friend complain like crazy. Are you kidding me? The feeling of liking someone shouldn't be too obvious. If you can't even tell, are you stupid?
In any case, Meng Fuyan's personality is completely incomprehensible.
She is now very clear that she likes Gu Tingzhi, she likes him very, very much. Should she make a move?
The daughter of a top businesswoman in the 1970s had only one concept in her mind: if she liked something, she had to find a way to get it.
"Yan...Yan Yan, what's wrong?"
Gu Tingzhi spoke cautiously because he noticed that the girl was staring at him with a strange, eerie light in her eyes, making him feel as if he were being watched by a wolf cub.
Meng Fuyan lowered her head, pondering what path she should take in the future.
The person she's dealing with is very powerful, so she has to leverage that power.
This is an objective condition, and there's nothing she can do about it. She doesn't want to spend a lot of time seeking revenge; she just wants to eliminate those dangers as quickly as possible.
Having finally been reborn, she didn't want to spend her whole life seeking revenge.
Not good at politics and not wanting to join the army, she actually preferred to do business like her mother. But her enemy was powerful and influential, so if she wanted to take revenge, she had to borrow his power. Whose power?
I wanted to borrow Gu Tingzhi's before, but now... can I borrow someone else's too?
It seems that after dealing with the Wu family, she needs to focus on her career and cultivate more connections so she can make choices more freely.
"Yanyan? Yanyan?"
Gu Tingzhi called out twice more.
"ah?"
Meng Fuyan raised her head, revealing a bright smile, which startled Gu Tingzhi!
