Upon hearing Zhou Chen's words, the guards beside him immediately showed a wary expression.
They stared intently at Sun Tao.
Sun Tao remained calm and smiled, saying, "Oh, I guess you mean the things in the warehouse. Okay, I'll send them over to him later."
Then Sun Tao turned to look at the guards beside him and said, "Why don't you go back first, and I'll take this little girl over there?"
The guards were immediately dissatisfied after hearing this, since there was a rather important meeting today, and if Sun Tao went to see Zhou Chen off at this time, it would inevitably lead to the risk of leaking secrets.
Although Sun Tao has been formally accepted by them, this is a critical time. If their secrets are leaked, it could very well lead to the failure of the entire meeting.
Even their organization might be targeted by others. This is a point that the organizers above have been emphasizing, and they dare not agree to it.
The guards exchanged glances, and one of the men stepped forward and said, "No, you should go later. The meeting needs you to speak; it can't proceed without you!"
After listening, a serious expression flashed across Sun Tao's face.
He looked down at Zhou Chen, who looked terrified, and then whispered, "Why don't you go back first? I'll watch you leave."
After saying that, he subtly squeezed Zhou Chen's palm and then pointed in a direction.
Zhou Chen immediately understood what Sun Tao meant, and she quickly nodded: "Okay, Uncle Sun, I'll go back and talk to my dad. I won't bother you any longer."
After saying that, Zhou Chen turned to leave.
The guards beside her, however, had no intention of letting her leave so easily: "Young lady, where is your father?"
They had already guessed that Zhou Chen's father was no ordinary person, and if his father was nearby, then they would definitely run into some trouble.
Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of this meeting and prevent the secrets of the upper-level leaders from being leaked, they had to do everything possible to ensure that nothing went wrong.
"Minister Sun, don't worry, let's take her home!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Tao frowned. He knew exactly what these people meant. They wanted to see if Zhou Tong was nearby. If they took Zhou Chen away, the little girl would definitely be in danger.
However, at that moment, Zhou Chen suddenly spoke up: "Aunt Liu Qian lives nearby, I'll go directly to her place! If I get back late, she'll definitely worry!"
Upon hearing this, not only were the other households stunned, but even Sun Tao, who was standing nearby, was taken aback.
He frowned and pondered carefully about this woman named Liu Qian, feeling that he had heard the name before.
"Are you referring to Liu Qian, who lives in the working-class neighborhood?"
Zhou Chen nodded, blinked, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Yes, Uncle Sun, do you know Aunt Liu Qian too?"
Sun Tao immediately realized that something was wrong, because Liu Qian was an undercover agent in their organization, and he couldn't understand why she was mixed up with Zhou Tong.
However, he didn't think much of it, so he stood up and said to the guards next to him, "She's from Liu Qian's side, so you don't need to worry. She lives nearby. You wouldn't suspect Liu Qian, would you?"
The guards nodded immediately after hearing this. Of course, they knew who Liu Qian was, and her identity was quite important to them.
Liu Qian's main job is to collect key secrets about Lu Yuan's core members. Many secrets are obtained from her. As long as Liu Qian is around, it becomes very easy for them to obtain secrets.
"Alright then, it's not safe at night. Little girl, don't wander around alone. Go home now!"
Sun Tao breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted Zhou Chen on the shoulder, but a hint of wariness was evident in his eyes.
Zhou Chen gleaned some information from his gaze, and through the behavior of these people, she also sensed that this Aunt Liu Qian seemed to be more than just a simple person.
However, she didn't ask any more questions. The most important thing now was to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible. If she waited until they realized what was happening before trying to leave, it would be even more difficult.
Zhou Chen nodded to Sun Tao and then quickly left the tent.
Sun Tao then followed the others into the small tent.
Zhou Chen didn't dare to stop along the way. She ran forward as fast as she could with all her might, because she was afraid that someone was following her.
But she didn't dare to look back, afraid that a strange uncle behind her would suddenly grab her.
After running for a while, Zhou Chen felt that her strength had been exhausted. She held her knees and gasped for breath. Looking around, she realized that she didn't know where she had run to.
Just as he was confused, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.
"Brother Wang!"
Zhou Chen shouted into the distance and waved frantically.
Wang Mingming, who was searching for Zhou Tong at that moment, turned her head immediately when she heard someone calling her.
She saw a little girl of about eight or nine years old waving at her from the tent area in the distance. She quickly walked over and was stunned when she saw that it was Zhou Chen.
"Xiao Chen? What are you doing here?"
Startled, Zhou Chen rushed over and hugged Wang Mingming tightly. Wang Mingming gently patted her back and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What happened?"
