What Chen Yu didn't know was that Qiao Gang and his wife had long suspected the relationship between Chen Yu and Lin Lele.
Furthermore, Qiao Xin's earlier statement further convinced Qiao Gang and his wife of the "improper" relationship between Chen Yu and Lin Lele.
After all, Qiao Xin is their daughter, and they know that although Qiao Xin can be a bit willful at times, she would never joke around recklessly.
However, even after learning about Chen Yu and Lin Lele's "improper" relationship, they still chose to remain silent.
Yes, their family does have strict rules, and they are extremely conservative about relationships between men and women.
In the past, let alone Chen Yu having an affair with another woman behind their daughter's back, even their daughter living with Chen Yu out of wedlock would have been unforgivable.
With Qiao Gang's fiery temper, he would definitely break Chen Yu's legs!
However, times have changed. We are now in an apocalyptic world, where social order has collapsed and morality and law have vanished for many.
My daughter is far away, and it's already a miracle that she survived the apocalypse. How can I possibly demand more from her traditional moral constraints?
Regardless, Chen Yu is capable and can protect Qiao Meng. Most importantly, Qiao Meng herself likes Chen Yu.
In that case, nothing else matters.
Although Qiao Gang and his wife have traditional family values, they are not rigid people. They know when to stick to principles and when to be flexible.
Therefore, Qiao Gang decisively ended the farce, changing the subject before the matter was brought to the forefront, so as not to embarrass anyone.
"Ahem~" Chen Yu coughed lightly, breaking the subtle silence at the table. "Aunt Liu, it's too dangerous for you to go to the newspaper office alone. Why don't you let Lin Lele go with you?"
Chen Yu looked worried and cleverly changed the subject.
“It’s alright. I’ve worked at the newspaper for over 20 years and was the editor-in-chief. I still have some influence, so they won’t make things too difficult for me.” Liu Tonghua smiled and shook his head. “The situation at the newspaper is quite complicated these days. Every move we make is closely watched by those ‘reformers.’ If I bring other people with me, it will be easier to cause unnecessary trouble and suspicion.”
Qiao Gang nodded solemnly, "Your Aunt Liu is right, Xiao Chen, don't worry about her."
"Alright then, Aunt Liu, please take care of yourself. If anything happens, please let us know via walkie-talkie," Chen Yu instructed.
To make things easier, he provided everyone present with a walkie-talkie.
After quickly finishing a bowl of porridge, the group put on their heavy coats and prepared to set off.
The biting wind howled wildly, whipping up gusts of icy snowflakes, as if even the air itself was trembling.
The group took a deep breath, pulled up their coat hoods, and wrapped their scarves tightly around their necks, leaving only their eyes, which were covered by goggles, visible.
"Uncle Tian, you're not in good health, so don't go out unless necessary," Qiao Gang instructed Tian Yuan, who was standing at the door watching them leave.
Then, the group of five walked out of the courtyard, and Liu Tonghua, who was heading to the Kyoto Daily, parted ways with them.
Chen Yu and Lin Lele, on the other hand, followed Qiao Gang and Qiao Xin to Kyoto University.
Today, Chen Yu plans to first find out the background of those "reformers," and Kyoto University, the most prestigious university in Great Xia, is undoubtedly a good choice to start with.
Fortunately, Qiao Gang and Qiao Xin, one a professor at Kyoto University and the other a student at Kyoto University, will make the operation smoother and more covert with their cooperation.
The streets were bustling with people, some hurrying along, others sweeping away the snow.
Some neighbors who were familiar with Qiao Gang looked at Chen Yu and Lin Lele with surprise and suspicion.
Qiao Gang took the initiative to explain to each of them that the two were his relatives.
Those people didn't say anything more and went back to their own business.
In this era where everyone is afraid of danger, who has the mind to care about others?
Those who live on this street all have powerful connections, and it's not uncommon for them to use their connections to bring several relatives from other places to Kyoto.
If you ask around recklessly, you might just bring trouble upon yourself.
…………
Kyoto University is not far from the Qiao residence, only about 3 kilometers away.
About an hour later, Chen Yu and his group of four arrived at the gate of Kyoto University.
In this frigid apocalypse, the gates of Kyoto University appear even more solemn and lonely in the cold wind, with the snow-covered stone monuments silently recounting past glories and present vicissitudes.
Chen Yu and his group made their way through the sparse crowd, trying to keep a low profile to avoid attracting unnecessary attention.
Using his position, Qiao Gang skillfully led them around the main checkpoints and into the campus.
The two were quite young, and their bodies were completely covered up. Once they entered the campus, it would be difficult for anyone to discover their identities unless they took the initiative to say so.
Once inside the campus, it became lively.
Everywhere you look, you see groups of people gathered together, shouting slogans of the "reformists" as if they've been injected with adrenaline.
The students' eyes gleamed with fervor, and their voices echoed in the cold air, creating an undeniable force.
Chen Yu and Lin Lele exchanged a glance, both seeing shock and wariness in each other's eyes.
Even the students at the most prestigious universities in the Great Xia Dynasty are so enthusiastically throwing themselves into the wave of "reformers," what about the ordinary people?
If this trend continues, the city may truly be doomed.
