Chapter 98
After coming out of the police station, everyone was in a heavy mood. Everyone was thinking about their own things and didn't talk much along the way.
As a result, when I just arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I saw some unexpected people walking out.
Yu Yao frowned unconsciously.
"Chief of Staff Gu, these are your son and daughter-in-law, right?"
Needless to say, Yu Yao knew that the person who came should be Aunt Xie's man Kong Bo.
Next to Kong Bo was Aunt Xie, with whom she had just quarreled today, and on the other side was the naughty child Hu Zi. But at this moment, Hu Zi's face was red and swollen, and it was obvious that he had been beaten.
Yu Yao exhaled heavily and said, "Dad, I feel a little uncomfortable. I'll go in first."
Yu Yao had already sent the child back home in the afternoon. Now she had to see the lovely child to calm herself down.
As soon as she said this, Kong Bo's face changed.
But he considered himself a man of great potential and didn't want to argue with a little girl. He just looked at Gu Wu, hoping that Gu Wu could educate his younger generation.
Unexpectedly, Gu Wu nodded slightly and said, "Since you are tired, go and rest." After that, he ignored Kong Bo's ugly face and said to Gu Qing, "Take good care of your wife."
Seeing the two were about to leave, Kong Bo immediately said, "Wait a minute, I heard that my good-for-nothing son upset your child today, so I beat him up severely. We came here specifically to apologize to Comrade Yu Yao."
Yu Yao pursed her lips lightly, and even Aunt Xie could see the reluctance in her expression.
But her man had taught her a lesson, so she dared not speak carelessly.
"I accept your apology, but forgive me for being frank. Beating children is not a behavior that should be encouraged. It will have a great impact on the physical and mental health of children. I'll go in first." Before he could continue to explain, Yu Yao said this, then nodded slightly and walked into the house.
Gu Qing followed him in without saying anything.
This really made Kong Bo very angry. He sneered and said, "Chief of Staff Gu is really good at teaching children."
Gu Wu had long been fed up with this kind of behavior of his.
Most people in the compound knew what kind of person he was. He never took good care of his children, and whenever something happened to his children he always blamed his wife and never thought about himself.
With so many things happening at home recently, Gu Wu is too lazy to deal with him anymore.
"It's OK. My family never hits children."
It is not known what Gu Wu said to Kong Bo, but it is said that he left angrily with his wife and children.
Yu Yao was not impolite, but she was already worried about Taozi's matter, and Kong Bo said he came to apologize but showed a condescending expression and even beat the child. Looking at Aunt Xie's attitude towards him, it was estimated that he might beat his wife as well, which hit Yu Yao's sore spot exactly.
However, the reason why she dared to do this was because she had already regarded Gu Qing's family as her own family.
Facts proved that this was true; neither Gu Wu nor Zeng Yue showed any dissatisfaction towards her.
It was not until dinner time that Yu Yao learned the truth of what happened today from Zeng Yue.
Speaking of which, Aunt Xie was still being used as a tool by someone.
She had just come to the family compound from the countryside and had not come into contact with many people.
Because her personality is really unpleasant, she can't control her children and always indulges them to do nasty things, even worse than Kong Bo, making the neighbors nearby miserable.
But there was one person among them who had always had a good relationship with her, and that was the mother of Feng Liang and Feng Yue. Mother Feng had always instilled in her how rich Yu Yao was in the family compound, how she didn't know how to live, and how arrogant and contemptuous she was of others every day.
After hearing such words many times, she naturally disliked Yu Yao. Aunt Xie was originally a restless person, so when she saw Yu Yao dressed up beautifully and strolling out, and Hu Zi happened to be very interested in Xingxing's car, she came up to find fault.
After hearing this, Yu Yao didn't know how to react.
Mother Feng must be mentally ill, targeting her like this. And Aunt Xie is not innocent either, she knew she was being used as a tool but still came forward.
I guess she thought she wouldn't have any rivals in this institution, so she came to cause trouble for Yu Yao so confidently. Unexpectedly, she ran into someone who wouldn't take any loss. After the trouble got out of hand, they were afraid of offending the Gu family, so they came to apologize eagerly.
Yu Yao really didn't want to forgive. Not every mistake could be forgiven with a simple apology.
The Gu Wu couple had no intention of asking her to reconcile with the other party. Gu Wu said, "Don't worry about them. Just do what you have to do. Although our family members don't cause trouble, it doesn't mean we are afraid of it. Others have bullied them to the point of no return. There is no need to give them face."
"I understand, Dad. I'll have to take care of it now."
The conflict with the Feng family is definitely not directed at her alone, so it is best for her family to handle it.
At the moment, it seems that if she handles it herself, she can only beat the person up.
Yu Yao didn't take this matter to heart, she was more concerned about her two children.
Later, she took him out for a walk every day, and he never met that blind man again, nor did he encounter anything abnormal. Yu Yao gradually felt relieved.
Soon, she received the results from the police station.
As Yu Yao expected, Yao Li and Heizi had only been together for about half a year, and the two of them had done a lot of shameful things.
Not to mention using the black market to make dirty money.
The black market can facilitate people's lives to a certain extent, especially after life has improved in recent years. In the process of transitioning between the two models, people have almost completely accepted the existence of the black market.
However, they forced sales, cheated others, and sold inferior products as good ones, doing many things that harmed others and benefited themselves.
The most hateful thing is that they are pimping in the black market.
When they see good-looking girls coming to the black market, they use deception or force to send them to those men. This not only causes severe physical and mental damage to many girls, but also many girls choose to give up their lives.
Yao Li and Heizi were definitely not going to survive, so Yu Yao stopped paying attention to this matter.
Although the biggest problem seems to have been solved, the family members are still worried about the child, and no one can guess what uncontrollable things will happen next.
So they unanimously decided to let Yu Qin stay to take care of the children.
The problem was solved, someone was taking care of the family, and everyone started their busy lives again.
In the past few months, more and more small stalls have started to do business in the streets and alleys. Although they are all small foods, accessories and the like, it can be seen that everyone has gradually evolved from being nervous and fearful in the beginning to engaging in business openly.
And these courageous people will completely turn things around in the near future and become people at the forefront of social development.
In December, news about reform and opening up spread throughout the streets and alleys, but now the policy has only just been announced, and it will take some time for all parties to respond.
Yu Yao took advantage of this time to ask Gu Wu to help select a large number of talents for a six-month training. However, their training only provided a small subsidy and food and accommodation, but no salary.
The people who trained them were naturally the eight people who had been invited by Yu Yao to train them.
The training started after the Chinese New Year and lasted until the middle of the year. Yu Yao told Yu Qin to go directly to the training and no longer have to stay at Gu's house.
She is a capable girl. Although she has a hidden injury on her foot, she has no problem being a normal bodyguard. The most important thing is that she knows her limits.
Many times, Yu Yao could see that she was very curious about their affairs, or confused about their decisions, but she would not ask too much, only when she really couldn't figure it out or she felt that the decision might lead to very bad consequences.
If she needs help like a secretary in the future, Yu Yao will definitely choose her first.
During the winter vacation, Yu Yao went to Guangzhou again.
She told the Liao sisters about her plan for the snack factory, and now Liao Zhu has become the person in charge of the Liao family pickle factory.
Yu Yao was amazed when she saw her fierce and powerful appearance.
"Who dares to bother me with those ugly things now?"
Since returning from Xichuan, many matchmakers have come to their house, and many young men in their teens and twenties want to be married to her.
She knew that all of them were asking for her hand in marriage just to get a piece of the sauce factory pie. They all looked down on her, and she didn't like any of them either, so why should they torture each other?
It was okay if it was the kind that didn't bother. Some people not only didn't understand what people said but were also thicker-skinned than city walls. They insisted on causing trouble. Finally, someone who blocked people at the pickle factory every day was severely scolded by the men of the Liao family, and he finally calmed down.
But as long as Liao Zhu doesn't get married, things like this are bound to happen.
Liao Zhu was always upset about this, but later she found that the conditions for finding her were getting better and better.
Although it is not comprehensive to measure one's own value by such a standard, it does allow Liao Zhu to see that he has improved compared to before.
"But my parents still hope that I can find someone who understands their feelings, even though they think I can't have children."
Yu Yao smiled and asked her: "Do you want to have someone new to accompany you?"
Liao Zhu was silent for a while, then said, "I have thought about it, but I still feel scared most of the time. Do you think we must have a partner? If we need someone to take care of us in our old age, can't we adopt a child to take care of us?"
The last sentence was Liao Zhu's compromise. In fact, she didn't even want to be an adoptive parent. Why did she have to get married? Why did she have to have a child?
But she was also worried that even Yu Yao would not understand her. After all, Yu Yao had already married and had children, and her family happiness was completely different from hers.
Yu Yao did not miss the lost look in her eyes.
"Then let me ask you, if you don't want to get married and have children now, will your family look at you as if you are unfilial? When people outside make fun of you, will your family feel ashamed or scold them?"
"I don't see any disrespectful looks from them, but I can sense their concern for me." She said with a smile on her face, "If we meet outsiders, they will of course stand by me."
"What about in the past? Would they still be like this before you got married?" Yu Yao asked again.
Liao Zhu thought for a moment and thought that they might choose to break up with her.
"Why is this happening?"
Yu Yao could guess what she was wondering about and said, "Because the ability you demonstrate determines their view of you."
In the eyes of many people, women are born to get married and have children. Some people think that women are incapable of being self-reliant and should rely on men to live. Only when they see that women are able to stand on their own feet and no longer have to worry about their own lives will they encourage women to find a partner.
Isn't this the situation of Liao Zhu now?
Her family has seen that she can live well even without a man, and the only thing they worry about is that people will gossip about her.
Liao Zhu thought for a while, and his expression became more relaxed. "So what do you think I should do?"
"You should ask yourself which path you want to take."
If it was Yu Yao who advised her, she would definitely do whatever she wants. She should be the master of her own life and should not let others control her, even her family members.
But the fact is that even when she first came to this world, she chose to compromise, otherwise she would not have known Gu Qing now. Therefore, she is most aware of her own situation. She cannot blindly consider others and compromise herself, nor can she completely ignore the opinions of those who care about her.
"In fact, maybe you don't need to think about this too hastily. The future is still long. What if one day you meet someone you want to marry?"
Liao Zhu just smiled and didn't care about Yu Yao's words at all. She really had no trust in men anymore.
Of course, Yu Yao will not easily break her status quo. Some growth needs to be experienced slowly by oneself.
Today, the pickle factory has met Yu Yao's expectations in terms of scale and management. She came here mainly to see if they can continue to run the snack factory. Now that they are proficient in operations in all aspects, cooperating with them is Yu Yao's best choice.
After finalizing some plans for the snack factory with them, Yu Yao taught them all the snacks he could think of.
As for those snacks of later generations, Yu Yao’s only understanding of them was the taste he had in his mouth and the smooth preparations he saw in those small videos.
So what she did was like crossing the river by feeling the stones, and the specific taste still needs everyone to adjust together.
Since we were partners who had already cooperated with each other, we were able to discuss confidentiality and other issues very smoothly.
Yu Yao stayed in Liaojia Village for two days and visited various factories, supply and marketing cooperatives, and department stores.
There are many more small businesses in Guangzhou than in Beijing, so the business of the supply and marketing cooperatives has been affected to varying degrees, and the sales of pickles have also dropped.
But they did not take this problem seriously.
In their view, their iron rice bowl is still very popular. Even if they sell less, it doesn't matter what they sell, and their salary will not be affected at all.
This was indeed the case in the beginning, but when these supply and marketing cooperatives were unable to make ends meet, even the most secure job would eventually be abandoned.
After seeing this situation, Yu Yao immediately told Liao Zhu about their idea of opening their own pickle shop. It could be a stand-alone pickle shop. The shop did not have to be big, but the sign had to be big and eye-catching. If the shop was big, it could also be made into a theme restaurant, that is, a restaurant that used these pickles as side dishes. That was also a good way to promote the business.
It's just that this idea cannot be implemented for the time being, but if I can open a store, I can open it immediately, summarize the experience in practice, and strive to make the pickles famous as soon as possible.
Liao Zhu was surprised by Yu Yao's idea. She just thought that Yu Yao had received some news and was sure that these stores could be opened, so she wrote down her words one by one.
Originally, Liao Zhu planned to stay with Yu Yao until Yu Yao left Yangcheng before going back alone.
But Yu Yao said that she had some private matters to attend to, so Liao Zhu didn't want to stay any longer. After ensuring Yu Yao's safety, she returned to Liaojia Village by herself.
After sending the people away, Yu Yao went to find the person that Gu Qing had asked to help look at the house, and returned to the house they bought in Yangcheng.
In the next few days, Yu Yao began to observe the development of Guangzhou. Although there were already some stalls doing business, their actions were extremely irregular and now they were more like various explorations.
After observing for a while, Yu Yao changed his mind.
She is quite experienced, and indirect experience also counts as experience, so there is no need for her to spend so much time on this kind of thing.
She might as well use this time to plan something more advanced.
After turning around twice, she found the person who had helped Gu Qing look at the house before.
In fact, Gu Qing found two groups of people, probably because he was worried about unexpected situations, so he wanted them to supervise each other.
One of the two men is called Brother Yong, and the other is called He Qi. They are both doing well in Guangzhou. One used to be in the black market, and now he is mainly reselling goods shipped from Guangzhou.
Brother Yong has a very good reputation in this area. Anyone who asks him, even the garbage collector on the roadside, will praise him as a good boy.
When he was in the black market, he often used his own things to help these poor people, so everyone trusted him. His black market business is still going smoothly until now. Everyone has become accustomed to going to his place. It is more like exchanging goods than buying and selling, and everyone can take home what they like.
After hearing these stories about him, Yu Yao admired him very much.
Even if he did all this just to win people's hearts, he did bring convenience to the people nearby. He tried his best to protect the interests of others while making money. Such a person will never have a bad time anywhere.
The other one, He Qi, was in the antique business. Compared to Brother Yong, he was also quite smooth, but his smoothness was only on the surface. He spoke better than anyone else, but he never did anything. It was all empty talk. In fact, no one could gain any advantage from him.
People like Aqi can give a good impression when they first meet. If they are given enough benefits and used well, they can also become a good help.
This time, Yu Yao chose Brother Yong first.
"You are Shen Nanke's daughter-in-law, why are you looking for me?"
Yu Yao nodded. "I came here this time to ask Brother Yong for a favor. I'm currently studying sociology at university. We will be doing a project next semester that requires data on street changes and development in Guangzhou. I've been observing it for a few days."
Yu Yao then told him what she had observed over the past few days, "I heard from Brother Shen that you have many capable people here. It shouldn't be a problem to observe these things and write them down. I would like to ask Brother Yong to help me find someone. As long as the person is reliable and the findings are not perfunctory, the price can be negotiated."
While Brother Yong was looking through the things, Yu Yao continued, "This is related to whether I can get good grades when I graduate. Brother Yong, please help me."
No matter how broad-minded Brother Yong is, he has never been to college and has no idea what social studies are for. He just thinks that these college students seem to have nothing to do after eating, so they study these messed up things.
But people of this era still have a certain degree of awe towards intellectuals.
What if what they learn can make some great contribution?
Brother Yong nodded: "It's just a small matter. What do you need to do?"
"It's simple. I can't stay in Guangzhou forever. Please ask the comrades who are doing the investigation to summarize it every day and send it to the address I gave. I will pay for it. You decide how much you want to be paid."
"No need. Shen Nanke gave a lot before. Looking for a house is not a big deal. We will help you with this."
Seeing that his expression did not seem fake, Yu Yao did not insist any more. She waited for her to go back and talk to Gu Qing, and if necessary, she would just send him the reward.
The two men exchanged a few polite words, and Brother Yong left with his men.
"Brother Yong, she wanted to give us money just now, why didn't we take it? She doesn't look like someone who is short of money."
This person has been following Brother Yong for a long time, and they, his subordinates, have a rough idea of what Brother Yong wants to do.
Everyone can understand that they help those who are in trouble, but they have never suffered any loss. But now there is a fat sheep in front of them, so why do they let it go?
Brother Yong glanced at him and said, "Don't be so careless."
When he first met Shen Nanke, he discovered that Shen Nanke had an extraordinary demeanor and was not an ordinary person.
Now you can tell by looking at his wife, she is not only very pretty but she is also a college student.
Moreover, she had the audacity to come here from the north alone, and was not the least bit afraid to find him.
And there is her beautiful handwriting and those clear summaries on paper.
All this shows that this woman is not simple.
Besides, she looked like she was doing well in Beijing, so why did they buy a house in Guangzhou and not rent it out, but just let people come to look at it every day? They didn't do this research in Beijing, but had to do it in Guangzhou, so they must want to develop in Guangzhou in the future.
There's nothing wrong in making friends with people like this.
Yu Yao didn't know that Brother Yong thought of her this way. She was quite satisfied with his attitude. She decided to go back and talk to Gu Qing about the problems in Yangcheng, and try her best to bring Brother Yong back on the right track if possible.
As the saying goes, the law does not hold the masses responsible. People at this time have a weak legal awareness and tend to do things based on the assumption that they will do the same thing as others do. If they stop in time after receiving an official warning, there won't be too many problems. However, some people are never satisfied and always have a mentality of taking chances. Such people are easily treated as the first to get caught.
If Brother Yong is really who Yu Yao understands him to be, then she hopes that he can carve out a niche for himself in the future.
After a week of research in Guangzhou, Yu Yao returned to Beijing on his own.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon.
Gu Qing had gone on a mission earlier and just came back to rest.
As soon as Yu Yao got off the train at Jingshi Railway Station, she saw Gu Qing who came to pick her up.
"Why are you here?"
Yu Yao, wrapped in a big cotton jacket, skipped to Gu Qing's side, looking almost exactly the same as when they first got married, and Gu Qing's heart beat the same way.
Gu Qing quickly put a scarf on her and said, "Why did you come here? If you don't come back, I will have to buy a ticket to find you. I'm not afraid that Taozi will forget you as her mother."
"Eh? You're actually being sarcastic to me." When it comes to being sarcastic, Yu Yao has never lost. She pulled Gu Qing's clothes and looked up at him sideways, "What's going on, Deputy Commander Gu?"
As expected, Gu Qing couldn't do anything naughty in front of Yu Yao. It was impossible for him to act like a spoiled brat.
Gu Qing stopped talking. The two of them got in the car, and Gu Qing still had a blank face and said nothing.
Yu Yao raised an eyebrow and tugged at her seat belt. "Oh, what's going on? Gu Qing, take a look. Is this broken?"
Since she had already called for help, it was impossible for Gu Qing to ignore her. "Let me take a look."
He leaned half of his body over, but as soon as he tilted his head, Yu Yao grabbed his neck and smacked him on the face with a very loud sound.
The corners of Gu Qing's stretched mouth immediately lifted up, he moved his lips, looked at Yu Yao's smile helplessly, then turned his head and directly sealed Yu Yao's lips.
The two kissed deeply in the parking lot where they might be discovered, but they did not do much. They just expressed their longing for each other in this way.
Yu Yao's face was still hot when the car started. She didn't know what was wrong with her. They were already an old couple, and she was the one who made the first move. But Gu Qing quickly took the initiative, and she could only endure it passively, her heart pounding.
Gu Qing glanced at Yu Yao.
In fact, he also felt frustrated. He had watched Yu Yao grow up over the past few years. Yu Yao learned things very quickly and had many new ideas in her mind. Since she joined Candle Dragon, she had completed each task better than the last.
No matter what she does, she seems to be the most dazzling one in the crowd.
Gu Qing didn't care whether she came from the afterlife or had the help of space. Those were his wife's own opportunities.
As for him, he claims to be excellent, but he is just walking the path that many people have walked before, not fast enough and not steady enough.
The reason why he was in such a bad mood today was because Lin Feifei came to his house to see Taozi and mentioned that Yu Yao admired a boy in the class. He was so jealous that he said that just now at the station.
Gu Qing still feels ashamed when he thinks about it now, but he is worried that Yu Yao will be noticed by someone, especially if she goes to Yangcheng alone.
His wife is so beautiful and capable, he can imagine the way those men look at her.
"I said, what's wrong with you? Are you going to explain it to me?"
They were almost home and Gu Qing still had no intention of speaking, so Yu Yao spoke to him.
Yu Yao thought she was pretty good at observing people's thoughts, but this time she couldn't see clearly what Gu Qing was thinking.
There is no doubt that Gu Qing cares about her, but it would be bad if any misunderstandings between the two of them were not resolved. Especially when some misunderstandings accumulated, it would be a huge blow to their relationship.
"It's okay. I just missed you and thought you'd been gone for too long."
Yu Yao found it even funnier. It was only about ten days, but he said he had been gone for too long.
This person must have been in school for several days.
Besides, when he was on a mission, it usually took him ten days or half a month.
Forget it. Since she really couldn't ask any more questions, she didn't ask any more questions. She just said, "Okay, I guess I have to do some desensitization exercises for you."
Gu Qing: “…” I couldn’t laugh anymore.
He knew about the desensitization training, which meant that his wife had to leave him from time to time so that he could get used to her absence.
Gu Qing looked at Yu Yao with a resentful look, which made Yu Yao very happy.
"I'm just kidding you. Focus on driving. I miss Taozi. I want to go back and hug my baby."
Gu Qing did not answer this time. He could accept that his status in his daughter-in-law's eyes was not as high as that of a concubine.
The two returned home quickly.
Zeng Yue brought Taozi with her. As soon as she saw Yu Yao, she waved her little hand to tease her, "Hey, our Taozi, look, who's back?"
"Taozi!" Yu Yao waved at the smiling little girl, but did not rush over to her. She shouted, "Wait for mommy to take a bath and then come hold my baby."
She must have been on the train for so long that there must be a lot of bacteria on her body, and she was feeling cold from outside. She didn't dare get close to her baby like this.
Zeng Yue couldn't help but smile as she watched Yu Yao run upstairs. "Whose mother is this? She's still like a child."
As a nurse, Zeng Yue felt that Yu Yao was more particular than many other medical workers. She was pleased to see that Yu Yao valued her child so much, and she liked Yu Yao even more.
"Gu Qing, you should also wash yourself. Don't touch the child when you are cold."
After hearing Yu Yao's words, Zeng Yue glanced at Gu Qing who was about to approach Taozi and kicked him. Gu Qing resigned himself to running to the kitchen to fetch hot water for his wife.
If I had known they would take a shower when they came back, I would have prepared a pot full of water.
When Gu Qing carried up one bucket in each hand, Yu Yao was just finding her clothes.
"What are you doing up here?"
"Let me rub it for you."
Yu Yao: “…”
In the end, of course, Yu Yao was the only one who enjoyed the two buckets of water.
She wiped her hair and went downstairs to play with Xiao Taozi for a while. When Taozi fell asleep, she also felt a little drowsy.
Gu Qing followed her back to the room to take a nap.
What he liked most was to hold Yu Yao in his arms and fall asleep on such a leisurely afternoon, and then kiss her naive face when she woke up.
So when Yu Yao woke up again, she saw a handsome face in front of her, staring at her.
"Why are you looking at me?" she asked hoarsely.
Gu Qing turned over and pressed the person under him, holding Yu Yao's face and said, "You went to Yangcheng for so many days, and you didn't miss me, right?"
Yu Yao's eyes were half closed, but she could still hear the grievance in the other person's tone. He felt aggrieved.
"You don't even tell me what has happened to you. Why should I miss you? Go away. I'm going to look for Taozi."
Yu Yao tried to push him away, but failed.
Gu Qing buried his head in her neck and sniffed like a dog.
"It's itchy. If you don't leave, I'm going to take action."
Gu Qing whispered something in her ear.
"What?" Yu Yao felt that she didn't hear clearly.
But Gu Qing didn't say anything.
It was actually quite comfortable to be held by him in this winter. Yu Yao simply stopped struggling and said, "Are you talking about Jiang Wu?"
"You heard it clearly." Gu Qing didn't look at her and still buried his face in Yu Yao's neck.
Yu Yao hummed, "How do you know him? What happened to him?"
Gu Qing kissed the tip of Yu Yao's ear and asked, "You have a good relationship with him?"
After hearing this, Yu Yao finally understood where his weird behavior came from today.
In this regard, Gu Qing has always been stingy, but many times Yu Yao can discover his abnormality on the spot, and he will know it after coaxing him well.
Who knew he heard about Jiang Wu from somewhere and he was actually jealous here.
Yu Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Gu Qing, have you met Jiang Wu?"
"No, why should I see him?" Gu Qing still had a bit of a temper.
Yu Yao pushed him away and almost threw him to the ground.
This made Gu Qing stunned.
"Brother Qing, I am actually obsessed with looks."
After saying that, she put on her clothes and went to look for Taozi, completely ignoring whether Gu Qing understood her or not.
Gu Qing indeed didn't understand, but he understood when Yu Yao asked him if he had met Jiang Wu. He made up his mind to go to Yu Yao's class when school started to find out what the story was about the boy named Jiang Wu whom Yu Yao admired.
Yu Yao did not explain to him directly. She was just teasing him. However, she did not expect that this would give Gu Qing an excuse to tease her at night. He said all kinds of nonsense, and the two of them did not fall asleep until almost dawn.
From the next day on, he no longer looked that deadly, but Yu Yao was very angry with him.
Although Gu Qing is not good at showing his temper, he is quite good at coaxing people.
Whenever Yu Yao was very angry, he could make her laugh just by saying a nice word or two.
But their good times didn't last long, as Candle Dragon brought them a mission.
Yu Yao and his partner applied for the mission themselves.
If the Candle Dragon's missions, especially some difficult ones, cannot be completed by the right person at the moment, they will choose to announce the missions and let the team members recommend themselves. This mission is one of them.
The Chinese New Year was approaching, and if it was an ordinary mission, neither Gu Qing nor Yu Yao would choose to go.
But this time the mission is to destroy a human trafficking gang and rescue women who were sold to Southeast Asia.
There are people in the Candle Dragon team who can understand each other's language, have deep kung fu skills, and are smart, but there are not many people who have all of these qualities.
Although Yu Yao was not familiar with the language there, she could still understand some of it.
Of course, the reason why she and Gu Qing were willing to recommend themselves was because Yu Yao had space. She could use the space to hide a lot of tools, or even transport those people out directly.
Since they are already a member of the Candle Dragon team, they must complete their mission. As they complete their missions again and again, they have also taken the Candle Dragon's purpose as their own belief.
——Selfless, fearless and guiltless, serving the country, the army and the people.
