"Gu Mingtai, do you know where to find medicinal herbs?" She asked, holding his arm tightly.
Gu Mingtai smiled for a moment and nodded slightly, "I do know one, but you also know this place!"
Zhang Meng frowned, "I know that too!"
After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't think of the place he mentioned, so she urged him impatiently, "Oh, I can't think of it, just tell me what that place is!"
"Auction!" Gu Mingtai said slowly.
Zhang Meng immediately remembered the underground auction in Beijing.
That place really has all kinds of treasures. If there are precious medicinal herbs being auctioned there, she would still believe it.
"Yes, how could I forget this place! Then when are we going to Beijing?" Zhang Meng asked excitedly, staring at him.
Gu Mingtai squeezed her palm and said, "I have another idea. We can write a letter and ask Mr. Liao to save some of the herbs you need for us. If they have them, ask them to notify us in advance, and then we can rush to the capital."
Zhang Meng nodded vigorously upon hearing this, and happily stood on tiptoe to kiss him hard on the face. "Gu Mingtai, I feel like with you by my side, I don't have to think anymore. You always think for me. Let me tell you, if you spoil me like this, you will spoil me badly."
Gu Mingtai took a deep breath and grasped her hand tightly. "Xiao Meng, don't start a fire here. I'll find a guesthouse here and bring you to justice. Can you handle this?"
Zhang Meng looked at his murderous eyes and smiled guiltily, "Why is it a bit hot here? Let's stop shopping and go home. Let's take the bus home."
Looking at the little woman escaping from his palm, Gu Mingtai, who stayed where he was, curled his lips, paused for a moment, and immediately followed her quickly.
The young couple chased each other to the door of a state-owned restaurant and were forced to stop by a group of people.
Looking at the crowd blocking the way ahead, Zhang Meng curiously pulled a woman beside her to ask, "Sister-in-law, I want to ask you, what happened up ahead? Why are there so many people standing there?"
The woman Zhang Meng had pulled over was dressed like a worker. When she turned around to answer, she first glanced at Zhang Meng with a pair of snobbish eyes. Seeing that Zhang Meng's clothes were not bad, she explained in a slightly more conciliatory tone, "You don't know yet, but our Director Chen Zhen will be accompanying the city officials to dinner here later. There are several reporters waiting there now, and these people are just staying here to watch the fun."
At this point, the crowd in front suddenly moved. The woman stood on tiptoe to look ahead and suddenly said happily, "Oh, I won't tell you anymore. It's Chen Zhen who's coming over. I want to go see him."
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman happily left Zhang Meng and rushed forward.
Zhang Meng, who was standing at the back, looked at the crowd who were pushing forward desperately, and suddenly thought of the star-chasing groups in later generations.
Zhang Meng turned around and looked at the man standing behind her. "Gu Mingtai, is the Director Chen Zhen that the sister-in-law just mentioned the same person that Wang Qingliu mentioned?"
Gu Mingtai stared at the crowd with a sullen expression, "It's him."
Zhang Meng narrowed her eyes and said, "Gu Mingtai, I feel a little hungry. Let's go in and eat!"
Gu Mingtai immediately glanced at her and suddenly smiled, "Okay, I heard that the food in this restaurant is good, let's have a meal here today."
The couple looked at each other, and walked into this famous state-owned restaurant hand in hand.
As soon as the couple came in, they asked the waiter for a table to sit down, then ordered a few dishes that they liked, sat down and ate while listening to the conversations of the people around them.
"Our Town Mayor Chen is such a good man. Don't you know how cold it is in the winter? I heard from my wife that her family was almost freezing to death. It was Town Mayor Chen who brought a group of people from the town government to help. I heard from my wife that everyone in their village was planning to secretly build a longevity tablet for Town Mayor Chen."
"I also think this Chen Zhenzhang is a good person. Although I haven't met him, he smiled at me just now. Tell me, are there any officials nowadays who use the surnames of ordinary people? I haven't met one, but I have met one now. This Chen Zhenzhang is a good person."
At the table, Zhang Meng secretly winked at the man sitting next to her, "Gu Mingtai, our Chief Chen is a good official!"
Gu Mingtai poured her a cup of tea and laughed softly when he heard her words, "The better it is, the more problems it has!"
Zhang Meng nodded, and just then, the waiter came over to serve the food, and the couple stopped talking. They ate until the person from the upstairs private room came down, and then they followed him out.
At this time, the young couple stood at the door of the restaurant and watched the car getting farther and farther away.
"Gu Mingtai, did you notice anything?" Zhang Meng touched the man who had been quiet beside her.
"A ghostly aura!"
Zhang Meng looked at him in shock. "You mean he has a ghostly aura? Could it be that our Mayor Chen is already dead?"
Gu Mingtai frowned a little and said, "I don't know yet, but the three lights on his body are still on, so he is not dead."
"Then why does he have an aura of death? It's so weird." Zhang Meng bit her lip, looking puzzled.
Gu Mingtai patted the back of her hand and said, "There's nothing to think about. If you can't figure it out, let's go to where he lives and where he works and investigate. Then everything will be clear."
Zhang Meng glanced at the sky which was almost getting dark, "But it's almost night now."
Gu Mingtai smiled mysteriously at her, "Night is the easiest time to find out what happened. Let's call grandma later and tell her that we won't be going home tonight, so she won't worry about us."
Zhang Meng nodded, "Okay."
The young couple first found a guesthouse near the home of Director Chen Zhen and stayed there.
Because they had Gu Mingtai's military ID, the couple was able to move into a superior room without being questioned.
This was the first time the young couple stayed in a guesthouse when they went on a mission alone. It was already completely dark outside, but there was still plenty of time for them to go out and investigate the situation.
In the quiet room, the young couple looked at each other for a few minutes, and both of them felt awkward.
After a while, the room was quiet like this.
Seeing that this was not a good thing and a waste of time, Gu Mingtai coughed lightly and called Zhang Meng's name in a slightly hoarse voice, "Xiao Meng!"
Zhang Meng's body stiffened, and she quickly looked up at him with a red face, "What's wrong?"
