Upon hearing the words "enemy agents," Xiao Yuheng unconsciously frowned. Their duty was to protect their country, and they were naturally at odds with enemy agents.
"What happened?"
With no one else around, Xu Zhi explained the situation: "That's how it is. Those people insisted that they were framed and that someone had taken them from the mountain to the commune."
"Brother Xu, didn't you say you had a letter of accusation?"
Xu Zhi nodded, "Yes, there are some, but those people don't admit it at all. Moreover, one of them has some connections. They did search his house, but they didn't find anything suspicious. If this continues, they might not be able to do anything to him."
Xiao Yuheng frowned. "Based on your intuition, Brother Xu, are there any problems with those people?"
Although it's unreasonable to judge cases based on intuition, they all come from the military and are quite good at judging people.
Xu Zhi angrily shoved the cigarette butts at his feet. "There's definitely something wrong with him. He's just being stubborn. His house is spotless, and he hasn't left any evidence."
As the two were pondering how to break the deadlock, Gu An'an suddenly said, "He definitely wouldn't leave those deadly things lying around. If he can't find them at his own home, they must be at a secret base. I think we could check if he has any other courtyards, or Brother Xu could check if he has any other homes."
"Small family?" The two men understood immediately what it meant.
Xu Zhi patted Xiao Yuheng on the shoulder, "You're really something, finding me such a smart and clever sister-in-law. I'm going to get busy now. You must come to my house next time you come back, and I'll have your sister-in-law cook some good dishes to treat you."
If he hadn't had so many things to do, he would have definitely taken the two of them straight home.
People arrive in a flurry of activity, and they leave just as quickly.
Xiao Yuheng looked at Gu An'an with an unstoppable smile on his face, "An'an, Brother Xu said I've found a great treasure."
Gu An'an rolled her eyes at him, "Go ahead and have your fun."
He then got on his bike and rode away.
Xiao Yuheng watched Gu An'an ride away alone, then looked at his own bicycle and suddenly regretted buying a bike so early. With one bicycle for each person, he no longer had the chance to give anyone a ride.
There was no chance to feel the little hand on my waist.
What a blunder!
No matter how disappointed I was, I had to hurry up and ride my bike to catch up with her, otherwise what would I do if I lost her?
"An'an, shall we go to the state-run restaurant?"
Actually, he wanted to take her home, but since they had just confirmed their relationship, he was afraid that rushing things would scare her away.
"Okay, you buy me a car, and I'll treat you to dinner. I'll take advantage of you."
Xiao Yuheng was about to refuse when Gu An'an interrupted him, "If you don't let me pay, we won't eat this meal."
What could Xiao's wife say? She could only smile and ride off to the state-run restaurant together.
"Big sister, give me a braised fish, stir-fried pork slices, stir-fried potatoes, green peppers and eggplant, and a plate of braised pork."
Few people order three meat dishes and one vegetable dish right away. The receptionist was about to mutter a few words, but seeing Xiao Yuheng's imposing manner, she swallowed her words and said, "Okay, the prices are on the board."
She was too lazy to calculate it and just let Gu An'an see for herself. Gu An'an didn't care and took out the money and tickets from her pocket and handed them over before she and Xiao Yuheng found a seat by the window.
"An'an, I'll give you all my savings later. Spend it as you please, don't worry about the cost."
In Xiao Yuheng's eyes, Gu An'an didn't have much money. After all, the Zhang family had never treated her like a human being, so they certainly wouldn't give her any money.
Although there are rural allowances and wages from the village, that amount of money certainly won't last long to support An'an's current standard of living.
"What? You handed over your savings right after we started dating?"
Xiao Yuheng nodded, "I don't spend much money in the army because they provide food and lodging. I might as well leave it with you. It can be a lifesaver if anything happens."
Seeing that Xiao Yuheng spoke sincerely and without any sign of difficulty, Gu An'an didn't know what to say.
She's actually better at dealing with bad people, like the Zhang family. As long as you have a strong enough fist, everything is negotiable. This is something she honed in the apocalypse.
But when she encounters someone like Xiao Yuheng who treats her with such sincerity, she feels a bit lost. She really doesn't know how to repay such genuine kindness.
"I have money, you can keep yours."
Faced with Xiao Yuheng's sincere eyes, Gu An'an instinctively wanted to escape, and her words were colder than before.
Xiao Yuheng was a shrewd person, so he naturally noticed this subtle change. He knew that it was because his desire to hand over his savings had put pressure on Gu An'an. But he didn't want to back down on this matter. He felt that Gu An'an would only truly accept him as a person if she was willing to accept his money.
"An'an, do you regret being with me?"
With his handsome and rugged face paired with that slightly aggrieved voice, Gu An'an admitted that the hurtful words were devastating to her.
No, there isn't.
"Since you don't regret being my girlfriend, and we're dating with marriage in mind, why can't you take my money? I don't have much time for you to begin with. If I can't even provide for you financially, what are you even doing with me? You should at least have something in mind, right?"
Gu An'an chuckled at his words. This idea was similar to that of many girls in later generations: one must always have something to gain, whether it's people or money, otherwise one's youth would be wasted.
"You really want to give me something I won't regret?"
Xiao Yuheng nodded.
"What if I spend all of it?"
Xiao Yuheng didn't care at all, "So what if I spend it? If I don't give the money to my partner, who else should I spend it on?"
Gu An'an wanted to tease him a little more, but the waitress called out, "The braised fish and stir-fried pork slices are ready, come and get them yourself."
That's how it is these days; even if you go to a restaurant, you still have to cook for yourself.
"Don't move, I'll go."
Xiao Yuheng, with his long legs, carried dishes and served rice, taking meticulous care of everyone in the restaurant, which attracted frequent glances from the other diners.
Those envious glances kept landing on Gu An'an.
It's one thing to be handsome, but how can she be so considerate? It makes my own man look inferior.
After finishing their meal, the two returned to Xiaowang Village together.
As soon as Gu An'an entered the village, she saw a familiar figure on the ridge of the field in the distance. It was none other than Lin Qingqing. Looking at the direction she left, it was unlikely that she was going into the mountains, but rather that she was going to the commune.
Gu An'an had a hunch that if Lin Qingqing really went to the commune, it wouldn't be anything good, and it was very likely related to her.
However, she didn't take it to heart. She would deal with whatever came her way. If Lin Qingqing dared to make another move, she would just kick her out of the game completely.
But she had no time to think, because she was surrounded by villagers once again...
