“Okay.” Zhou Keming nodded and said, “Thank you for your help.”
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all."
Upon hearing Zhou Keming's words, the maid immediately smiled and said, "Originally, Fourth Master asked my husband and me to stay here so that important figures like you could have a convenient place to stay when you come to Xichuan on business. Staying at home is much more comfortable than staying in a hotel."
“That makes sense.” Zhou Keming nodded and added, “It’s just that you’ve had a hard time, guarding Xichuan for so many years.”
The maid quickly smiled and said, "It's all what we should do. Fourth Master sent our two boys abroad to study. What a great favor that is! We don't know how to thank him enough. Now we're just guarding the house. It's not hard or tiring at all. Many people envy this kind of thing. It's not hard work at all."
I just always miss home.
Of course, the maid didn't say those words aloud.
Zhou Keming only stayed in Xichuan provincial capital for one day. The next evening, he picked up the person he was waiting for at the airport.
Gu Ying, Gu Shaoyong's shadow in the dark, Gu Shaoyong's absolute confidant, is far more trusted by Gu Shaoyong than him.
When Zhou Keming saw Gu Ying, he was taken aback and asked, "Why is it you? What about the son-in-law's safety if you come?"
"I came just because Master told me to," Gu Ying replied calmly, without saying another word.
Zhou Keming knew Gu Ying's personality and didn't see anything wrong with it. He simply stated his arrangements: "It's too late today, so we'll stay in Xichuan for the night and head to Qingping County first thing tomorrow morning. I already had Gu Man's family prepare a room for you..."
Zhou Keming originally wanted to tell Gu Ying to get a good night's rest, but before he could finish speaking, Gu Ying interrupted him.
"Go directly to Qingping County."
"Now?" Zhou Keming was stunned. He raised his wrist, showing his watch, and pointed to the hands, saying to Gu Ying, "Look at the time! It's nine o'clock at night. You know the road conditions in Xichuan. Driving so late at night..."
"Madam's condition is not good."
The lady is his young lady! Zhou Keming's life belongs to his young lady. For his young lady, let alone driving back to Qingping County, even if he had to drive to the gates of hell, he wouldn't even flinch and would step on the gas pedal to the floor!
So, upon hearing Gu Ying's words, Zhou Keming swallowed back what he was about to say. He no longer cared about the road conditions. He, Zhou Keming, had survived countless battles; how could a mere mountain road be a challenge for him!
Therefore, Zhou Keming strode to his car, decisively opened the door, and said, "Let's go!"
Gu Ying didn't say anything and simply sat down in the passenger seat.
Seeing that Gu Ying was seated, Zhou Keming immediately started to light the fire, but... before it even started, he saw Gu Ying's hand twitch slightly and she made a gesture very quickly.
They were all Gu Shaoyong's confidants, and Zhou Keming could still understand Gu Ying's gestures.
Is something going on in the car? What is it?
Zhou Keming was somewhat surprised, but he immediately reached for the gun and gave Gu Ying a wink.
Xiao Jiu was comfortably hiding in the gap between the back seat and the trunk of the car, holding her belly, waiting for Zhou Keming to take her home. But suddenly, a chill ran down her spine...
Danger!
