Chapter 20
Yu Yao half-truthfully told Gu Qing how her second aunt wanted to introduce her to a partner and how she had been humiliated when she went to the city to inquire about the Liu family's situation.
Gu Qing's expression remained expressionless. Yu Yao couldn't see clearly and didn't know how to respond. He could only be as objective as possible and conceal something when necessary.
But when it came to the things about the Liu family, she felt troubled. Yu Yao didn't want to talk about the things that had made her so powerful now. After all, she was still in the Yu family and some things were hard to explain. She couldn't make up some weird words to fool Gu Qing.
The other party is a soldier, only at the level of deputy regiment commander, and it is definitely not easy to fool him.
But my origins are indeed closely related to superstition.
After thinking for a while, she asked, "Comrade Gu, do you really want to be with me?"
Yu Yao made up her mind that she would trust him just this once today. If he was lying to her, then she shouldn't be blamed for being cruel. But if he really wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, then Yu Yao didn't want to put herself in a difficult position by pretending every day. She wanted to be her true self.
Gu Qing was stunned for a moment when he heard her question, but then he quickly figured out the other party's intention. She was probably trying to tell him the truth.
Originally, Gu Qing should have said something nice to coax her. He had done the same thing with female spies before. But now, because he wanted to continue to be with her, he couldn't say that.
"Comrade Yu Yao, I, Gu Qing, can guarantee that as long as you don't violate the law and don't do anything that harms the country and the people, you will be my designated daughter-in-law, unless you don't want to marry me."
Yu Yao's heart suddenly started beating hard. She didn't know if she had suddenly started to fall in love. At this moment, she believed that the other person was a soldier and a responsible man.
But Yu Yao was not stupid. She did not completely lose herself because of the other party's seemingly perfect words. She had already made up her mind that she would never tell anyone about her time travel and space, even if that person was her lover who had shared every moment with her.
"Since you said that, let me tell you something. You may not believe it because I don't believe it myself. A few months ago, I went to the river to wash clothes and fell into the water. After I woke up, I was seriously ill. During that time, I was confused and didn't know what happened. But after I woke up, I found something magical. My strength suddenly became very strong."
Gu Qing guessed that she would say this, but he didn't really believe her. He pretended to be surprised and asked, "What do you mean by becoming very big?"
"Do you believe what I said?" Yu Yao was a little surprised.
Gu Qing pursed his lips and said, "Everything needs to be verified. As a soldier, I can't just listen to your one-sided words."
This remains to be verified. Yu Yao is quite satisfied with this answer. As long as she doesn't think she is talking nonsense.
She rested her elbows on the table and said, "Bibi."
Gu Qing was in mixed feelings. Under normal circumstances he would have been worried that he had bullied the little girl, but having seen the little girl's abilities before, he was now afraid that he would lose.
But the show had already reached this point and there was no way to stop it, so he raised his right hand in cooperation.
Their palms touched each other, and Gu Qing's big hand could almost cover Yu Yao's hand. Looking at her slender white wrist, Gu Qing even felt that he could break her wrist with just a little force.
"Are you ready?" Yu Yao asked seriously.
Gu Qing nodded, and then she felt Yu Yao exerting force. When he tried to steady himself quickly, the other party had already pressed his hand down.
Gu Qing: “…”
Yu Yao: “…”
"Comrade Gu, please don't let me go."
If Gu Qing didn't know her temper, he would have felt that she was mocking him.
"I didn't let you. You are really strong."
Gu Qing knew that he could not beat her, and he just wanted to test the opponent's strength. If they were in a group, those guys would not be his match even if they used their strength first. Although he had not tried his best just now, he knew that he could not win, and there was no need to humiliate himself.
Yu Yao felt that there was no need to compete anymore, she would definitely win.
"I don't know why this happened. I didn't dare to tell my family about it because I was afraid they would think I was a freak. Until this time, my aunt introduced me to someone and mentioned my second brother."
Yu Yao was really getting emotional as she spoke. At first, she was planning slowly, intending to earn money quietly and steadily. But now that she had the ability, why didn't she help her second brother treat his illness earlier?
"I think since God has given me this ability, maybe it's for me to change our family. I want to be able to freely choose my own partner. I also want my second brother to be healthy, and my family and my eldest brother's family to get along harmoniously like many in-laws."
The story was almost finished, even Yu Yao herself was almost moved, she then talked about her experience of going up the mountain to hunt and selling the game on the black market. Of course, she did not mention Brother Biao, Brother Huang and others, nor did she mention her visit to Liu's study.
"After I went to the city to find my eldest brother that day, I became more determined to make money, so I didn't rush home. I went to Daqing Mountain again. Daqing Mountain is the largest mountain nearby. I caught a lot of wild rabbits and pheasants and dug up ginseng. Then I found some things in a dilapidated temple."
The more Gu Qing listened, the more shocked he became. Although there were still many doubts that had not been answered, there was no doubt that Yu Yao's mental journey was heartbreaking.
How could a girl like her, even if she was very strong, dare to run into the mountains alone in the middle of the night?
"What is it?"
Gu Qing felt something was wrong. "Is this thing related to the Liu family?"
Yu Yao nodded, "Yes, when I went to inquire about it that day, I met a woman who went to Liu's house. It was not Wu Hong. Then I heard the woman say something about the wilderness or something, but it was far away at that time and I didn't hear it clearly. I went there today to listen again to see if I could hear anything useful."
Gu Qing didn't care about the loophole in her words for a moment, and asked, "So what is it?"
Yu Yao had just figured out how to get this thing out reasonably.
"Comrade Gu, can you take me to the police station?"
Gu Qing frowned, "What are you doing there? Do you want to report a crime?"
Even though it was just a momentary change in expression, Yu Yao could tell that the other party didn't seem to want her to report the case. She didn't know if he had guessed something.
Yu Yao shook her head and said, "Take me there first."
It’s not that Yu Yao insists that Gu Qing take her with him, but Gu Qing will definitely not agree to her going alone. Rather than being suspected by him, it is better for her to invite him to go.
Seeing that she insisted, Gu Qing just nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Although this girl is young and a little rash in her actions, she is not someone who would joke about serious matters.
The two of them went out together again.
There were few people in the city at night, and the two of them walked together, barely able to see the road clearly in the moonlight.
Gu Qing didn't say anything, but sorted out Yu Yao's words in his mind. He knew that Yu Yao had lied a lot, but it was precisely because her words were full of loopholes that Gu Qing believed even more that she was not a spy.
Because many mistakes are definitely not something a spy would make, but it is not impossible that the other party would do the opposite.
However, Gu Qing still tends to believe the other party, but without investigation, he has no right to speak, and everything still has to wait for the results of the investigation.
With this in mind, the two of them quickly walked out of the alley and arrived at the door of the police station.
"Comrade Gu, please wait for me for a moment. It will be there soon."
After Yu Yao finished speaking, without waiting for Gu Qing to react, he quickly ran to the back of the police station.
The police station was located close to a farmland. Because few people passed by on the farmland side, a deep thorn bush grew next to the wall. No one knew why it had not been cleared, which made it convenient for Yu Yao to act.
Before Gu Qing could react, she put all the things in the space, as well as the things she was supposed to take, into the thorn bush.
When Gu Qing came over out of worry, he saw Yu Yao moving things out box by box.
He asked curiously, "What are these?"
The boxes didn't look like anything special, but there were a lot of them. "Let me help you."
"Need not."
Yu Yao was worried that something might get leaked, so she carried out the six boxes by herself. By the time she had finished carrying them out, she was sweating all over and her arms were aching from the stings.
She didn't care about that and lowered her voice and said, "Let's move the things back first."
Gu Qing tried it and found that the boxes were very heavy. It was almost impossible to carry so many boxes back directly. Even if the girl was strong, she couldn't use people like cows.
"Wait here for me. I'll be right back."
Yu Yao nodded obediently.
It didn't take long, just a few minutes, before Gu Qing drove a car to the intersection. The two immediately moved their things into the car, and when they got closer, they realized that it was not the police station's car, so where else could it be from?
Yu Yao didn't ask anything, and the two of them didn't say anything. They quickly transported the things back to the yard, and then Gu Qing returned the car. It took no more than twenty minutes.
Yu Yao felt relieved only after she saw that the bottoms of the boxes were covered with mud from the thorn bush.
When Gu Qing came back, Yu Yao was almost asleep in the chair. This day was really too exciting.
"Come, let me see your hands."
When the other party started talking, Yu Yao was still dazed. She could only vaguely see that the other party was holding a potion that he got from somewhere.
Yu Yao obediently stretched out her arm and let the other person apply the medicine on her. She grimaced in pain when the irritating medicine touched her skin.
"Just bear with it, it will be fine in a while."
Now the handsome guy couldn't speak well, Yu Yao still couldn't help but tear up because of the pain.
But no matter how hypocritical she was, she also knew that disinfection was necessary at this time.
After the medicine was administered, Yu Yao regained consciousness completely.
She stood up, shook her burning arms, and then opened all the boxes at once as if they were treasures.
