It really was about that base.
This life came so much earlier than expected.
Haven't they caught the person behind this yet?
In other words, the big corporation behind the scenes hasn't been found yet, so she still has a chance to get involved?
Meng Fuyan was delighted.
Gu Tingzhi's life in this life is much better than his life in the last. Although he didn't solve everything in his life, he basically had little say in what happened afterward. After all, the clues were taken by others, and someone from the Gu family interfered, so Gu Tingzhi couldn't participate in the later events.
But sometimes, luck is hard to change. Even if you can't get involved, fate will lend a hand. He went to investigate and accidentally ran into the people inside again. He got another clue and finally succeeded in getting credit for getting himself out of the countryside.
But it took him several years in his previous life to achieve this; it wasn't something he accomplished in one go.
Gu Tingzhi's life has been so smooth; she thought she had everything under control!
"Human traffickers? They've all been caught? They've all been rescued?"
Gu Tingzhi nodded, "The entire base has been brought under control. The police will handle the rest. However, it's likely a large organization, and it's unclear how big it is or how many powerful backers it has. The people behind it haven't been caught yet."
Meng Fuyan nodded, understanding.
The noodles in the chicken soup were cooked. She gave each of the three men a bowl, and then started cutting the cured meat. The three grown men must have been starving after traveling for so long, and a little bit of noodles wouldn't be enough to fill them up.
After slicing the cured pork and stir-frying it with seasonings, water was added. Once it boiled, cabbage and glass noodles were added and stewed together. Then, flatbreads were placed around the edges. Three pots of this were made before the three people were finally fed.
After finishing off all the flatbread and vermicelli soup, these people finally came back to life.
Xu Jing rubbed his stomach and burped, "Ah, this is what life should be like! Little sister! You have no idea how much I suffered in the mountains."
"Alright, alright, stop nagging and go back to sleep."
Having eaten and drunk his fill, Xu Jing perked up. Seeing Gu Tingzhi like this, she raised an eyebrow and continued to complain, "Little sister! Let me tell you, your brother Gu has been incredibly brave these past few days! Such a big valley, so many enemies, and they were all armed, and he dared to charge in all by himself! He went in and took down dozens of people in no time. Oh, you didn't see the scene, it was so exciting... Ouch..."
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Tingzhi kicked her.
Xu Jing said angrily, "I was praising you, why did you kick me?"
Fu Chaosheng summarized, "The praise was too exaggerated, not genuine enough, and seemed a bit fake."
Xu Jing: "..."
Meng Yun sent it back, saying, "Brother Gu, I've heated the kang (heated brick bed) for you. You can go back to sleep now."
Xu Jing immediately patted Meng Yunji's head, "Thank you, little Yunji. I'll buy you candy in a couple of days."
I'm leaving now!
Xu Jing pulled Fu Chaosheng away, and before leaving, he winked at Gu Tingzhi with a somewhat ambiguous expression.
Gu Tingzhi glanced at Gu Yunji and said calmly, "Yunji, go back to your room. I have something to say to your sister."
Meng Yunji liked Gu Tingzhi very much and remembered that this older brother had said he would give him a car. At this moment, he was very obedient and turned around to go back to his room.
In the kitchen, only Gu Tingzhi and Meng Fuyan remained. After not seeing each other for many days, they had accomplished another important task, taking another step closer to their goal. Gu Tingzhi was very happy at this moment, and he really wanted to share it with the girl in front of him.
However, there are some things he must be mindful of.
Just because Meng Fuyan didn't meet a good person to spend her life with in her past life doesn't mean she won't meet one in this life either.
His injuries are incurable, and he has no right to, nor should he, always appear in front of this young girl.
But I just couldn't help it...
Meng Fuyan found it strange. She felt that Gu Tingzhi's gaze towards her was very complicated, as if he was suppressing something.
"Brother Gu, is there... something you want to say to me?"
Gu Tingzhi controlled his emotions, nodded, and tried to speak to her in a calm tone, "Well, I wanted to ask, do you have enough food here? The people we found in the mountains this time were clearing land and farming, and they hid a lot of grain, as well as some poultry, fruit, and so on. I told their leader that once all the grain is transported out, they will give me some. I will bring you some of the fine grains then."
Meng Fuyan asked, "You also need to eat grains. The weather is so cold now, and the New Year is coming soon. You need fine grains too, right?"
Gu Tingzhi laughed and said, "The quantity will be considerable. There are over a million catties of grain and a large amount of gold hidden inside. I deserve the credit. The leader promised to give me a batch of grain, and Xu Jing and Chao Sheng will also receive a share. We won't have to worry about food this winter; it will be enough."
Meng Fuyan was stunned.
"Over...over a million catties? And a large quantity of gold?"
That's not right. There wasn't this much in my past life. Wasn't there only ten or ten thousand catties of grain? And I haven't heard any news about large amounts of gold!
Was it because Gu Tingzhi lacked the authority in his past life that he didn't know these things?
Gu Tingzhi nodded, "Yes, news about this will probably spread in the future, since many people know about it. But you know it yourself, so don't tell anyone, whether it spreads or not, to avoid causing trouble."
Meng Fuyan nodded, "I know, don't worry. I'm a good talker. I won't go around talking about such sensitive matters until a lot of information comes out!"
Since there is so much grain, she has a way to get more if she wants to.
"Are you sure it's a lot? How much can you give me? I... have some friends who are having a tough time, and I want to send them some food to help them get through the winter."
