Chapter 43 Farewell
Gu Nansheng never expected that before she could find out the results of the investigation, Chen's father had already been taken away by the police on suspicion of murder and reselling state property.
After some investigation, she found out that Chen Jiayan was unwilling to be the only one in jail, so she reported Chen's father to the police and wanted to take him with her to die.
Gu Nansheng felt a little emotional. She was indeed the heroine. Not everyone had the determination to report their father.
But this is also a good thing for her, as it saves her from having to go through the trouble of reporting Chen's father again.
Soon the police published Chen's father's investigation report on Weibo, and the life stories of Gu Nansheng and Gu Beiming were exposed.
If it weren't for the police announcement, I wouldn't have guessed the Gu and Chen siblings had such a connection.
The Chen family is truly corrupted. Father Chen murdered his colleague for money, and Chen Jiayan framed Gu Nansheng out of jealousy.
Sister Gu had it really hard. Her parents died so young when she was still a child. And now she has to raise little Gu Beiming. It's really not easy.
[Everyone, stop talking about sad things. No matter what, Gu Nansheng and Gu Beiming have grown up well, haven't they?]
[Both of them are very good-looking, have positive values, and often donate to orphanages.]
[Gu Beiming seems to have a genetic mutation. How can he have such poor academic performance with such strong genes?]
[It's so funny, why is Xiao Ming being attacked right now?! ]

After Chen's father and Chen Jiayan were imprisoned, the Chen family had no chance of recovery and eventually declared bankruptcy.
Chen Taining was also blacklisted by the company because of these disturbances. In the end, he had to take his mother back to his hometown and live in the old house there, leading a poor and hopeless life.
But he is still young. If he studies hard, he may be able to get into a good university and change his situation.
However, Chen Taining had been used to a smooth life since childhood, so how could he bear such a setback? He became addicted to games and tried to forget reality.
For more than a decade, Chen's mother had been used to being a wealthy wife and a canary, and she could no longer bear all this. She dressed up beautifully every day in an attempt to find a second spring and to have other rich men support her.
But she is old and has a son, so how can it be that easy to find her?
So the mother and son could only live in a small house, living with sorrow and quarrels every day.

The Chen family announced its downfall, which also meant that Gu Beiming was basically out of danger, and Gu Nansheng's mission after leaving the base this time was also completed.
In a few days, Gu Nansheng's one-month vacation will be over.
Although she was reluctant to leave Gu Beiming and the outside world, Gu Nansheng knew that there were more important things that needed her and she had to rush back to the base before the end of the holiday.
Looking at Gu Beiming who was still smiling foolishly because his old rival fell and Chen Jiayan, who framed Gu Nansheng, was sentenced, Gu Nansheng sighed. Now was the time to tell him, even though Gu Beiming would probably be unhappy.
At this time, Gu Beiming was lying on the sofa and browsing his phone, smiling at the comments on the Internet praising them. It was not until Gu Nansheng walked to his side and coughed that he noticed and looked up at Gu Nansheng.
He asked puzzledly, "Sister, what's wrong?"
Seeing the foolishness that was clear in Gu Beiming's eyes, Gu Nansheng pondered for a moment before saying, "Xiaoming, do you remember what I told you when I came back? I actually took a month off this time. It's almost over now."
The smile on Gu Beiming's face immediately faded. He stood there in a daze. After a while, he said, "Sister, are you leaving again?"
The word "again" deeply hurt Gu Nansheng. She quickly added, "Xiao Ming, I promise this time it won't be long. It'll be a few months at most, no more than a year. When you finish the college entrance examination and enter university, I'll be back."
However, Gu Beiming just stared at her steadily. After a while, he jumped up from the sofa, put on his slippers and went into the bedroom without saying a word.
Hearing the sound of the door closing with a bang, Gu Nansheng sighed deeply. It was normal for Gu Beiming to be angry. After all, whose sister would suddenly appear after disappearing for five years without any reason and leave again for no reason a month later?
However, this time when she leaves, she still has to arrange everything for Gu Beiming in advance.
She took out her cell phone and dialed Huo Sinian's number.
The call was quickly connected, and a man's deep voice came from the other end, "What's wrong? You're calling me now?"
Since Huo Sinian knew about this, Gu Nansheng didn't need to play dumb. "Well, it's like this. You know I'm on leave this time. My one-month leave is up, and I have to go back to base soon. You know Xiaoming is still a child, and he's going to take the college entrance exam in a year, so I'd like you to look after him so I can feel at ease."
Huo Sinian agreed readily, "Don't worry, I'll take care of him even without you telling me. Although I guess Xiao Ming might not be very happy."
Thinking of how Gu Beiming acted like a furry puppy when facing Huo Sinian, both of them couldn't help but laugh.
Indeed, letting Huo Sinian supervise Gu Beiming was tantamount to torture for Gu Beiming.
However, Gu Nansheng couldn't find another more reliable person in S City to supervise Gu Beiming, so he had to let him down.
The two chatted for a while before hanging up. However, just as they were about to hang up, Huo Sinian on the other end of the line seemed to muster up great courage and said, "Nan Sheng, can I ask when you can expect to be back? I don't want to inquire about the progress of your confidential project, I just want to know about you."
Gu Nansheng chuckled, amused by the man's cautiousness. After a while, she replied, "It won't be too long this time. I'll probably be back before Gu Beiming goes to college. After that, I won't disappear for such a long time again."
Hearing this news, Huo Sinian on the other end of the phone was extremely excited.
When Gu Nansheng comes back and everything is stable, can he really take action?
He tried hard to remain calm. "Really? That's great. Welcome back to this prosperous world."
Gu Nansheng also smiled and replied, "I'm looking forward to it too."

Gu Beiming never came out after entering the bedroom that day. The next morning, Gu Nansheng looked at Gu Beiming's closed bedroom door and began to think about how to coax this awkward brother.
After all, she only had a few days left of vacation, and time shouldn't be wasted on quarreling.
Just as she hesitated to knock on the door, the bedroom door opened.
Unexpectedly, Gu Beiming's face did not show the anger he had yesterday, but instead was filled with deep guilt.
Seeing Gu Nansheng standing outside the door, he was surprised for a moment, then quickly said, "Sister, I'm sorry. I was willful yesterday. I shouldn't have lost my temper just because I couldn't accept you leaving again. Sister, can you forgive me?"
Gu Nansheng was very touched. Xiao Ming was so considerate of her from beginning to end.
She didn't want to say anything sentimental, so she just nodded and said, "Of course. Let's spend the remaining days together."
So for the next few days, Gu Beiming postponed all the announcements that could be adjusted, and the two of them went on a trip together to an island that they both wanted to visit.
The sun, the beach, the sea, the blue sky, everything made them forget their worries and just want to indulge in the joy and relaxation of vacation.
After a day of fun, the two dragged their tired bodies back to the hotel.
Gu Beiming, a teenager not even 18 years old, was exhausted after a day of swimming and surfing and planned to take a shower and go to bed.
However, when he came out of the bathroom, he saw Gu Nansheng sitting on the sofa in the suite with a set of papers.
He was stunned. What was he doing? Wasn't it a vacation?
He asked tentatively, "Sister, what are you doing? We're here for a trip, it's only a few days, there's no need to do the test here."
However, Gu Nansheng shook his head and said, "Practice makes perfect, and studying is like rowing against the current. If you don't study for a few days, you might forget it. So, we still have to make sure to study for two hours every day for the next few days."
Gu Nansheng was not being hypocritical. Even though she was a genius, she still managed to read the latest journals for two hours every day during her one-month vacation.
Looking at Gu Nansheng's resolute attitude, Gu Beiming knew that he could not win the argument with Gu Nansheng, so he could only start doing the test paper honestly after drying his hair.
At this moment, he actually felt a little relieved. Fortunately, his sister was leaving and would probably not come back before the college entrance examination. No one would be able to supervise his studies. That was great!
As for what he would do after his sister came back, by the time the college entrance examination was over he would have gone to college, and his sister would have no way to deal with him.
The vacation days passed quickly. Three days later, it was the day when Gu Nansheng was about to return to the base. Gu Beiming and Huo Sinian both came to the airport to see Gu Nansheng off.
The moment he saw Huo Sinian, Gu Beiming had a bad premonition in his heart, but he quickly put this feeling behind him.
His sister is gone, so he probably won't run into Huo Sinian this year. What is there to be afraid of?
In fact, everything that needed to be said had been said in the past few days, and when it was time to say goodbye, there wasn't much left to say.
Gu Beiming could only repeatedly remind Gu Nansheng to take care of his health, while Gu Nansheng listened with a touched look on his face.
Unlike Gu Beiming, Gu Nansheng had a lot to say. However, she knew that if she told him that she had asked Huo Sinian to supervise his studies, Gu Beiming would definitely be furious.
It wasn't until the airport announcement that boarding was announced that Gu Nansheng finally made up her mind. She said to Gu Beiming, "Xiaoming, this is it. This year is a critical period for your senior year of high school, and I'm really worried since I'm away. So, I thought about it and decided to ask Senior Huo Sinian to supervise your studies. You must study hard with him!"
After saying that, she turned and ran towards the boarding gate, looking anxious to catch the flight, leaving the two men looking at each other in bewilderment.
Gu Beiming's brain exploded after hearing Gu Nansheng's words. He didn't even react to stop Gu Nansheng. He watched Gu Nansheng's back disappear from his sight.
What the hell? After his sister left, they found him a supervisor? And it was Huo Sinian, the one he hated the most?
