Chapter 712: Is it illegal to hold on?
Gu Yin originally planned to check who had returned by 8 o'clock, but by the time she was asleep by midnight, no one had come back. So she stopped waiting, called her family and Chu Yan, and went straight to her room to rest. She would deal with the rest tomorrow when she went up the mountain.
Chu Yan had already cleaned the room before leaving. There were very few things in it, just a clothes rack, a single bed, a desk about 1.5 meters long, two chairs, and clean blankets on the bed. I heard that someone comes to clean and wash the room regularly, so it's always very clean. Although the room is simple, it has all the necessary facilities, such as a bathroom with hot water for showering, which is somewhat similar to the ones at school. However, you can't use the toilet in the room. When Gu Yin came over, she saw a public toilet outside, which was quite large.
In the middle of the night, Gu Yin heard footsteps and voices outside, but she didn't get up. She had been traveling all day, and even with good stamina, she would feel sleepy. She had to get up early the next day, so she didn't want to bother and drifted off to sleep again.
At five in the morning, Gu Yin's phone vibrated. Gu Yin opened her eyes, picked it up, and immediately got up to answer: "Grandpa, are we leaving yet?"
"I'm calling you to get up. We'll meet at the door in half an hour, okay?"
Gu Yin said while tying her hair, "I'll be there on time!"
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yin changed into her mountain-wearing windbreaker, work pants, and hiking boots, which she had already packed in her bag when she decided to come.
After finishing everything, Gu Yin quickly washed up and closed the door at 5:20.
Just as they reached the door of Zhou Wansheng's house, the door opened, and Zhou Wansheng came out.
Upon seeing Gu Yin, Zhou Wansheng nodded, locked the door, and pointed ahead: "Go to the edge of the woods, the captain and the others are already waiting there."
On the way to the edge of the forest, Gu Yin saw lights emanating from the houses along the way, indicating that the staff had already gotten up and were preparing to go up the mountain.
Returning late at night and getting up before dawn—just like the scene I had imagined before Gu Yin arrived! Gu Yin felt her blood starting to boil! Great, time to roll up again!
Seeing Gu Yin walking faster and faster, becoming increasingly excited, Zhou Wansheng hurriedly pulled her back: "What are you doing? Are you trying to take off? Why are you walking so fast! What's wrong with you? Are you a plant? You get excited as soon as you're in the forest!"
Gu Yin pulled Zhou Wansheng forward quickly, excitedly saying, "Let's hurry! Lots of people are already up!" We have to get there before them!
Zhou Wansheng: "...Okay, okay, okay!"
The two even started jogging.
The bodyguard captain was inspecting the mountain bikes when he saw the two of them like this. He immediately became alert and asked, "What happened?" As he spoke, he got out of the car and quickly walked to the two of them, looking around warily.
Zhou Wansheng: "..."
Gu Yin was a little embarrassed at this moment, and said with a smile, "...It's okay, we're just doing some exercise early in the morning. Are we really going to take this car up? Let's go quickly then!"
Upon hearing this, the bodyguard captain looked away and nodded: "I've checked the car three times, there are no problems, you can go now."
After Gu Yin and Zhou Wansheng were seated, the team leader started the car, stepped on the gas, and the convoy sped up the mountain.
The road here is about as wide as the one over the mountain, with dim streetlights along the way. Everywhere you look, there are flashing red traffic lights, indicating that security is much tighter here than on the previous mountains.
"The people above told me that there are high-tech weapons and equipment all around here. Anyone who has any disloyal intentions will be riddled with bullets! Don't leave the walkable areas unless necessary, and don't act on your own. Remember to report where you're going. There are surveillance cameras everywhere here, and this mountain is already covered by satellite."
Knowing that Gu Yin's arrival might not be simple, Zhou Wansheng reminded her.
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this: "Grandpa, don't worry, I know."
After saying that, he immediately contacted 001: "001, are you busy?"
A moment later, 001 flew out: "What's wrong?"
Gu Yin looked around and asked, "This place is covered and monitored by satellites. Can you block the signal? I'm afraid I'll get caught on camera if I take that black water, and then it will be hard to explain. If not, it's okay, I'll find an opportunity slowly."
Upon hearing this, 001 returned to the control panel in the space and busied herself for a moment before saying, "It can be blocked, but you have to be quick, otherwise it will be detected. This place is in the mountains, there is wind everywhere, and the beautiful scene is different every moment. Once the frequency of a place is quiet and still, or the same as the previous one, or the frequency is messed up, it will attract the satellite's detection."
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this: "No problem, I will be careful. I will let you know when I am sure I have received the payment."
The research project she was working on also required this water. She could collect it after reporting it, but the jade bottle was small, and the amount of water needed was quite large, so it would definitely take a little longer. She was afraid that others would notice, so she had to take it slowly.
The mountain bike, which was traveling at high speed on the mountain road, suddenly braked hard!
"Squeak!~~~!!! Squeak!!"
"Hands on head and bends over! Something's wrong!"
Before the bodyguard captain could finish speaking, Gu Yin pulled Zhou Wansheng towards her, and Zhou Wansheng also reached out and pressed Gu Yin down.
Both of them bent over at the same time and placed their heads between their knees.
Zhou Wansheng was still pressing Gu Yin's back tightly with his hands, and Gu Yin's hands were also tightly protecting Zhou Wansheng's head.
The atmosphere was tense, but the two of them were calm. Their granddaughter/grandfather was still thinking of them in the most dangerous moment. Their hearts were warmed. The panic and tension that had been there before instantly subsided when the other reached out his hand.
Suddenly, Gu Yin felt a weight on her back, and Zhou Wansheng's hand was covered by something.
"Squeak squeak squeak~? Squeak squeak?"
The bodyguard captain's lips twitched as he looked at the thing on Gu Yin's back.
Zhou Wansheng: "???" What the heck?
Gu Yin blinked and turned to look at Zhou Wansheng, only to meet a pair of clear, questioning black eyes and a pair of ears that kept twitching.
Gu Yin: "...Little Mink?"
"Squeak?"
Those clear eyes seemed to be asking, "What are you doing? Why are you putting your head here?"
Gu Yin straightened up, and the little sable jumped into her arms.
With her hands sinking, Gu Yin stared at the sable for a while and asked, "Grandpa, is it illegal for me to hold it?" Feeling the soft, fluffy texture in her hands, Gu Yin resisted the urge to move and asked doubtfully.
