Gu Zhenqi is not someone who would force others to do things against their will or pin all her hopes on others. She has just arrived and is not clear about the situation in Kyoto. She has not established her own network of contacts. The problems she is facing now really make her feel a little helpless, but she is not helpless and has no way out.
She is a person who is used to facing challenges head-on, and the word "perseverance" has long been integrated into her bones and blood.
After a long while, there was no reply from Huang Da.
His silence seemed to be the best response. Time was pressing, so Gu Zhenqi didn't plan to stay any longer. She stood up and prepared to leave: "I'm really sorry for disturbing you today. I'll go back first if you're busy. If you have any news about Chen Kuo in the future, please come to my house and let me know."
After saying that, she walked straight towards the door without any hesitation.
Looking at the lonely background of her leaving, Huang Da wanted to reach out to stop her. He tried to say something several times, but finally swallowed it back. What he said was: "Sister-in-law, let me see you off."
"No need. It's only a few steps from the house to the front door." Gu Zhenqi refused decisively. She had already caught a glimpse of someone pretending to stroll past his door out of the corner of her eye. If she asked him to send her off, she was afraid that something bad would be said about her reputation.
Huang Da also saw it, and stopped his movement to get up, and sighed heavily: "Sister-in-law, be careful on the road. If I need help, please speak for me. Don't worry, I will tell you as soon as there is any news about Chen Kuo."
"Thanks."
After thanking her, she quickened her pace
After leaving Huang Da's house, Gu Zhenqi went straight back to her own home. In order to better think about the next solution, she bolted the door as soon as she entered the room and slipped into the space.
As soon as she entered the space, she chose the most quiet place. She lay on the rattan chair with her eyes slightly squinted. She was playing with the white jade porcelain teacup in her hand, consciously or unconsciously. The tea in the cup had already cooled down while she was thinking.
The flow rate in space is very different from the real world outside. Gu Zhenqi fell into deep thought and did not even notice the change of time. In his mind, he filtered through the available connections and resources in Kyoto over and over again.
After much thought, she realized that her current social circle was too narrow. Apart from the neighbors who came to buy groceries and seek medical treatment, and the restaurant owner she cooperated with, she really didn't know anyone else.
They seldom talked about their family situations with the neighbors and relatives introduced by them. Their friendship was not deep at all, just a casual acquaintance. If she suddenly asked them for help, it would be too abrupt. Think about it, the nature of Chen Kuo's job did not allow her to be impulsive.
As the saying goes, caring too much can lead to confusion
This is not false at all.
Gu Zhenqi was so overwhelmed that he simply emptied his mind. Then, he repeatedly chewed over Huang Da's words and recalled in his mind his behavior when the two met.
She always had an expression as if she wanted to say something but was unable to. Now that she had calmed down and thought about it carefully, Gu Zhenqi always felt that there was something she had overlooked, and it was a very important thing.
Anyway, it's weird
After thinking this through, she became even more hesitant to act rashly. The nature of Chen Kuo's job was special. Thinking of the spy TV dramas she had watched in her previous life, she had a bold idea in her mind that had not yet become a reality.
She was so absorbed in her thoughts that when she came out of the space, it was already afternoon. She looked at the time and hurried out. Because she was in a hurry, she lowered her head and walked too fast. As soon as she walked out of the house and into the yard, she almost bumped into Grandma Chen.
Fortunately, she stopped her in time: "Zhenqi, what are you thinking about? You are so absent-minded. Are you going out to pick up Ruiduo? Is Fei'an?"
When I looked up, I saw Chen Momo standing very close to me with a kind smile on her face. I forced a smile and said, "Yes, time is running out. If they come out and don't see me, they will be worried. Granny Chen, aren't you going to pick up Junjun today?"
"No, her mother said this morning that she would pick her up today. Isn't tomorrow the weekend? Junjun's grandma and grandpa miss him. His mother will take him to her house. Without this little naughty monkey, I can finally relax for two days."
"Then I'll leave first."
Seeing that she looked anxious and really in a hurry, Granny Chen didn't talk any more.
After hurrying and jogging all the way, he finally arrived just as Ruiduo and Fei'an came out of the kindergarten.
As the two little kids walked out of the kindergarten and said goodbye to their teacher politely, their eyes fell on the place where Gu Zhenqi waited for them every day. The moment they saw her, bright smiles broke out on their faces at the same time.
Gu Zhenqi squatted down as usual, opened her arms and greeted them with a gentle smile against the light.
Ruiduo successfully jumped into her mother's arms. Fei'an happily rubbed against her arms and said coquettishly: "Mom, Ruiduo misses you so much, I tell you..."
Ruiduo started her daily blah blah
Still no chance for Fei'an to express his emotions
Gu Zhenqi reached out and rubbed Fei'an's little head lovingly, and walked home holding the little cub in one hand. However, the feeling of being secretly watched just now came back to her.
She had rushed to pick up the child and was concentrating all her attention on this matter. She did not take it too seriously and thought it was just a momentary illusion.
But now, this feeling was real, so she immediately bent down to hug Ruiduo, and took the opportunity to look around, and after looking around, she did not find anything unusual.
The pedestrians on both sides of the road are very normal, parents picking up their children, aunties buying groceries, workers wearing work clothes riding bicycles, the occasional black car passing by, and street vendors...
She knew very well that there were often huge differences hidden beneath normal appearances. Gu Zhenqi was very confident in her sixth sense.
Ruiduo, who was suddenly held in her arms, was stunned for a second, and then was wrapped in joy. She gave her a quick kiss on the cheek: "I love you the most, Mom."
Gu Zhenqi forced a smile, but a string in her heart was tense. She held Fei'an's hand, unconsciously increasing the strength and quickening her pace.
Fei'an frowned. His mother walked too fast. Poor him, his little legs were too slow. He could only jog to catch up with his mother.
The nervous Gu Zhenqi was unable to notice Fei'an's condition at the first time. At this moment, he had only one thought, which was to go home quickly and put the two children in a safe place.
Suddenly, she was bumped on the shoulder by a young woman coming towards her. She only heard a very soft voice: "Don't be afraid, we are protecting you."
Everything happened too suddenly. When she reacted and turned around, she could no longer find the person who was talking to her. She frowned slightly. No matter who that person was, it at least confirmed from the side that she had noticed someone staring at them.
