"Grandpa Huang, why haven't Xingran and the others come out yet?" Xiao Xue felt like she was about to burst into tears.
Doctor Huang looked outside, his heart pounding with anxiety. He silently prayed, "Qingxiao, please bless our disciple and let her come out safely."
Three figures appeared outside: two tall men on either side, and a graceful young woman in the middle. Looking at the three, Doctor Huang smiled.
"Xiaoxue, they're out. Xingran is out," Doctor Huang said with a smile to Xiaoxue, who was sitting next to him.
Gu Moting walked to the car and opened the door. Doctor Huang and Xiao Xue got out of the car. Seeing that Su Xingran was safe and sound, they were both relieved.
“Master, Sister Xiao Xue, I’m out. I’m fine. That criminal has been arrested. Brother Mo Ting’s brother and his comrade are also on the train. They’ve been following that person, looking for an opportunity to arrest him.”
Dr. Huang was surprised that Gu Moli was hiding on the train. "Xingran, what happened to you on the train? Did that criminal hurt you?"
"Master, it's nothing. That guy tried to snatch my bag, but Gu Moli and his comrades showed up to help. Brother Moting and Uncle Duan also came to help. That's how the five of us subdued that man in no time."
Su Xingran didn't dare to say a word more. In order not to worry her master, she could only change the subject to Gu Moli and the others.
Gu Moting and Duan Yuming stood to the side, watching Su Xingran's guilty and evasive manner, finding it quite amusing. She wasn't afraid when she was risking her life, but now she was afraid of her master.
"It's good that you're not injured. Let's go back first! You must be tired after such a long train ride." Whether Dr. Huang believed it or not, he stopped asking the question.
After getting on the bus, Xiao Xue and Su Xingran sat together, and she held Su Xingran's hand. "Xingran, it's so good that you're alright. I'm older than you, so I couldn't protect you. Instead, it was you, my younger sister, who protected me."
"Sister Xiao Xue, it's alright. Look, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I? Uncle Duan taught me a lot of kung fu." Su Xingran glanced at Uncle Duan sitting in front of her and her master sitting next to her.
She lowered her voice and whispered in Xiao Xue's ear, "Sister Xiao Xue, don't let my weak appearance fool you. I'm not weak at all when I fight. So I can protect myself. I don't need anyone to protect me; I can protect others."
Xiao Xue smiled upon hearing this, but she felt terrible inside, her eyes stinging with tears. Xing Ran was just a girl who hadn't even reached adulthood yet; she said she didn't need anyone's protection, that she could protect others.
Gu Moting escorted Doctor Huang and the others back to the Huang family home, and Xiao Xue went with them. Although the wedding was in three days, Xiao Xue moving into the Gu family home now would cause gossip.
Su Xingran looked at the unfamiliar streets outside. The current Beijing was very different from the Beijing of the future. In her previous life, Su Xingran did not have the opportunity to come to Beijing. Later, she saw the Beijing of the new century while doing missions.
The car stopped in front of a courtyard house. This was the Huang family home, where Huang Zhenhua and Gu Qingxiao lived after Huang Zhenhua's marriage. The two brothers, Huang Taihe and Huang Taizhou, lived in the military compound. Occasionally, they would bring their wives and children back to stay for a day or two.
The group got out of the car and walked to the entrance of the courtyard house. "Xingran, this is your master's home, and it will also be your home from now on. Your master will take you inside to show you around."
Su Xingran looked at the courtyard house in front of her. This was her master's home, and her master said it was also her home. She had a home in Sujia Village, thousands of miles away, and she also had a home in the unfamiliar city of Beijing.
A sour taste lingered in her nose, and Su Xingran restrained her emotions. "Alright, Xingran, let's go inside with Master and see what the house looks like."
