Chapter 53: Mission

Gu Lanting winked at Feng Yan and told him to go back first.

He sat across from Director Lian leisurely, saying, "Yuan Xiao once returned an antique vase to the state. She also helped the Public Security Bureau solve a case of human trafficking, and the county once commended her."

He Changlin raised his eyebrows slightly. He had this impression, but he didn't know it was Yuan Xiao.

"But..."

Gu Lanting's eyes seemed careless, but they were extremely lethal. "Director Lian just spoke without thinking, slandering the innocence and reputation of a little girl. It's really chilling. Secretary He, I believe you will give Yuan Xiao an explanation for this matter, right?"

Director Lian was shocked, and quickly adjusted his expression, and said reluctantly: "I didn't investigate this matter clearly, so let's stop here."

Could she be asked to apologize to a little girl?

Yuan Xiao didn't respond. Apologies are useful, why do we need the police?

Gu Lanting leaned lazily against the back of the chair, his eyelids half drooping, "Since the police have been alarmed, it is naturally not enough to apologize."

Director Lian suddenly raised his head, not looking at Gu Lanting, but looking at He Changlin, "Secretary He, what do you want me to do?"

Gu Lanting spoke, and He Changlin would not refute him, so he said in a deep voice: "I will report it."

If the matter is reported, Director Lian's position will probably not be kept.

Director Lian's body was stiff, and he looked at He Changlin in disbelief. His eyes were visibly red, and the corners of his eyes seemed to be torn.

"Secretary! I, I apologize! Is it not enough for me to apologize?"

He Changlin said nothing with a sullen face. This Director Lian really doesn't know how to read people's faces.

Gu Lanting stood up from his chair and said coldly, "Since you want to report it, then check it carefully and report it after you have found out clearly."

Director Lian sat on the chair in a daze, watching them leave with his throat as if someone had strangled him.

Captain Liu, who was silent on the side, was still terrified. Could Director Lian really be blind? Even

Secretary He was listening to what Captain Gu said. If you want to ask someone, you have to find the right person to ask!

Yuan Xiao hardly contributed anything. After leaving the office, she thanked He Changlin and said, "I'll make food for you some other day. These are all I can offer."

He Changlin tapped her forehead, treating her like a junior.

His eyes were a little complicated, switching back and forth between Gu Lanting and Yuan Xiao.

Yuan Xiao, such a good girl, will have a difficult road ahead of her if she follows Gu Lanting in the future.

"You should pay close attention to see who is attacking you, and be quiet for the next few days."

He Changlin gave a serious instruction before leaving with his hands behind his back.

Yuan Xiao stammered, as if Gu Lanting had helped her a lot, and thanking him seemed insignificant.

But she knew in her heart that she couldn't give Gu Lanting what he wanted.

Gu Lanting was good-looking and capable, and he was definitely a dragon among men, whether in a small place like Qushui County or in the capital, where there were many hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

Not to mention Cheng Feng, I'm afraid many girls would not be able to refuse him, including Yuan Xiao, a girl who was born solo.

That budding affection seemed to be rising uncontrollably.

But Yuan Xiao still didn't change her mind.

She was only 18 years old, and she still had a long life ahead of her. At present, she just wanted to make money to improve her life. The male protagonist had nothing to do with her.

Seeing her frowning and tangled, her two thin black eyebrows were lively and lively. Gu Lanting felt itchy for a moment, and couldn't help but raise his hand to rub her little head.

Yuan Xiao's eyebrows were wrinkled into small hills, and she wrinkled her little face and opened his hand, "You won't grow taller!"

She was 165 cm tall in her previous life. I don't know if this body is malnourished. She has gained weight, but she hasn't grown taller. She said she was 160 cm outside, but in fact she is only 159 cm!

Wang Yazhi measured her several times, and it was 159 cm every time!

With a small face the size of a palm and a slender figure, she looks petite and delicate, but always lacks momentum.

Gu Lanting's eyebrows were covered with a smile, as if the snow in winter had melted, and small buds had emerged from the branches, making his face more handsome.

Facing Yuan Xiao's wide eyes, he coughed lightly and smiled, "No, this is good."

The two walked on the road in silence, and Gu Lanting broke the silence: "In a few days, I will leave Qushui County for a while."

"Oh, what to do?" Yuan Xiao followed up.

Gu Lanting paused, and a sense of guilt suddenly arose in his heart.

Mission, can't be said.

Yuan Xiao raised his eyes in confusion, and suddenly thought of Gu Lanting's identity.

He and Chu Jiangping knew each other. He was from the capital, and he acted like a superior even in front of He Changlin.

Either his family was prominent, or he was very capable.

Yuan Xiao felt that he had both.

She stopped asking and smiled, "Then you should be careful."

Gu Lanting responded and looked at her eagerly, "I will be back before you start school."

Yuan Xiao looked up at him, feeling as if he could penetrate her skin and see into her heart.

"As for Cheng Feng--"

Gu Lanting paused, a dangerous light flashed in his eyes, "I will help you solve it when I come back."

Last time, the system helped Cheng Feng escape the disaster of Yu Xin'an, but Cheng Feng's reputation was also ruined.

She still lived in the cowshed and could not leave Dayang Village for a moment. It was estimated that her life was not easy.

Yuan Xiao heard all this from Zhao Fubing, but the problem came. Cheng Feng couldn't get out by himself, so who sent the message?

Gu Lanting sent Yuan Xiao home. Yuan Xiao was busy cooking and sending him to the hospital, so he didn't keep him.

Gu Lanting was jealous. Didn't she keep him for dinner?

The old lady stayed in the hospital for a few days. Yuan Xiao was too busy to do anything. Except for tea, she stopped selling everything else.

It happened that she solved the problem of speculation and she could start making things again.

She now has a wide variety of things that she can sell for a long time, such as things made from roses, wine, pear paste, tea, and occasionally some fresh vegetables.

But most of them are food. Yuan Xiao knows that things in the mountains can be used to make more than just food.

The limitation is that Yuan Xiao is only good at cooking.

Suddenly thinking of Gu Lanting's mention that he would be away for a few days, Yuan Xiao looked at the beef jerky and pork jerky she had bought a while ago.

She leaned on a stool to take down the jerky.

These jerky are made from fresh meat, marinated, spicy and fragrant.

The meat is very firm and the more you chew it, the more fragrant it is.

Earlier, Zhao Fubing asked her to make jerky and sell it, but Yuan Xiao refused.

Because this kind of beef jerky requires several kilograms of fresh meat to get one kilogram.

She divided the jerky into small pieces, put them into small bags, and packed them one by one.

She took a few cans of the fried chicken fir and mushroom sauce she had made earlier and put them into a cloth bag.

She asked San Ya to make this cloth bag at the textile factory. It was durable and did not waste fabric.

After packing the things, Yuan Xiao planned to look for Gu Lanting.

But as soon as she went out, she got stuck.

She didn't even know where Gu Lanting lived!

After thinking for a while, Yuan Xiao decided to go to the Public Security Bureau to find him.

But when she arrived at the Public Security Bureau, she only heard Feng Yan say, "The captain hasn't come back yet, he's still outside!"

Yuan Xiao was a little disappointed, so she left with her things and went to the department store to buy vegetables.

At the door of the department store, there were still the same little beggars as before, dirty, holding broken bowls and asking rich people for money.

Yuan Xiao inexplicably thought of Zhong Li and Zhong Yang. They must have been in the same situation before.

She felt compassion and gave them money.

A little beggar seemed to recognize Yuan Xiao and said, "Sister! Are you the sister who adopted Zhong Li and Zhong Yang?"

Yuan Xiao stopped. They still had childish faces, but also had the vigor and vitality of young saplings.

She nodded and said nothing.

Only the little beggar was heard saying, "Sister, I can work and only eat one meal a day. Can you adopt me too?"
