I got off the bus.
Gao Jie straightened his suit, afraid that even a slight wrinkle would be disrespectful to Long Yunting.
The security guards had already received instructions.
So when they heard Gao Jie's name, they brought him inside.
Gao Jie went inside without daring to look around.
For him.
The Long family is a sacred entity.
It must not be profaned.
Hou Guifang noticed that Gao Jie looked unfamiliar, but didn't ask any further questions.
When Gao Jie saw the elders of the Long family, he was so bent over that his back almost touched his feet.
His obsequious manner successfully caught Hou Guifang's attention.
Upon entering Long Yunting's room, Gao Jie became even more excited.
"Captain Long! You're still not fully recovered? When we heard you were unconscious, you have no idea how anxious we were! Thank God, you've finally woken up!" Gao Jie started talking non-stop as soon as he came in.
"I asked you to come here to do something for me."
Gao Jie stopped talking, patted his chest and said, "You said it, we brothers would go through fire and water without hesitation."
Ignoring Gao Jie's boastful words, Long Yunting continued, "Go find a woman named Sheng Qian for me."
Gao Jie was stunned. "Captain Long, is there something wrong with this woman? Should we brothers do something about it?"
Long Yunting frowned slightly, quite noticeably.
Gao Jie was so frightened that he dared not utter another word.
He knew that his江湖言言 (jianghu yanyan, meaning a kind of江湖, martial arts world) words had displeased Long Yunting.
"Find out where she lives and what she does, but don't let the other person find out."
"yes."
"Protecting people."
"ah?"
Gao Jie thought he was going to investigate this woman, but he didn't expect her to be his protector.
Gao Jie wondered, what exactly is this woman to Long Yunting?
The first mission Long Yunting assigned me was to protect a woman.
Gao Jie kept guessing in his mind, but he just couldn't figure out who this Sheng Qian was.
I'll ask you some questions when I have time.
Upon hearing this, Gao Jie tensed up. "Yes, I guarantee I will complete the mission!"
Long Yunting glanced at Gao Jie: "Try to curb your bad habits."
Gao Jie's body tensed even more. "I'll definitely keep a low profile! I won't hold you back, Captain Long! I'll be a good man who protects our country!"
Upon hearing the last sentence, Long Yunting nodded in satisfaction.
"Then I'll go first?"
"Are you having any difficulties in your career?" Long Yunting asked again.
Gao Jie shook his head: "There are no difficulties at all. Everyone gives me face! Even those foreigners don't dare to be presumptuous."
Long Yunting didn't say anything more.
Gao Jie left the Long family feeling refreshed, plopped into his car, and cheerfully told the driver to start driving.

Shao You found out that Ge Lingli had taken her daughter to the Song family.
Shaoyou is the father of Shaochaojun.
It was wrong of Shao Chaojun to secretly bring Song Huayu to the small town below. Why did the Song family arrange blind dates for Song Huayu as soon as they brought her back?
It's all to avoid any connection with the Long family.
Even though Long Yunting has woken up now, I heard he can't move his legs and might become a cripple in the future.
Therefore, the Song family did not regret it; on the contrary, they were glad that they had arranged a marriage for Song Huayu in time.
Although it was only verbal, it was almost like being related by marriage through exchanging tokens of affection.
And now the instigator actually wants to go to the Song family's place, isn't that disgusting?
Shao You and his grandfather had repeatedly warned Shao Chaojun, but they still couldn't stop the women in their family from doing foolish things.
How could the Shao family afford to offend the Song family?
"Dad, I asked Mom to go, so please don't blame her," Shao Chaojun said, taking the blame in the face of Shao You's reprimand.
“You can’t blame the child,” Ge Lingli also defended her eldest son. “It was my own idea to help Chao Jun. At the time, Hua Yu begged Chao Jun to take him down, and Chao Jun couldn’t refuse. It’s not entirely his fault.”
Shao You was furious to see that Ge Lingli was still defending Shao Chaojun.
“You’re still protecting him. If he doesn’t learn his lesson soon, he’ll get what’s coming to him,” Shao You said coldly, his face ashen. “Your grandfather has some connections with the Long family, but those are your grandfather’s connections, and they have nothing to do with you. If you try to cause trouble again by bringing up old ties, I’ll break your legs.”
"dad!"
“If you still consider me your father, then stop using our ancestral relationship to act arrogantly and domineeringly.”
“I didn’t,” Shao Chaojun said, feeling wronged.
He was not arrogant or domineering at all.
"Have you ever flaunted your family's wealth outside? Have you ever used your ancestral connections to claim that you can freely enter and leave the Long family and that you have the final say in some matters of the Long family?" Shao Chaojun was caught off guard by these two questions.
He was telling the truth.
Did he not receive any recognition from Grandpa Long?
He was indeed just wandering around the Long family's place.
These are all true, so why can't we let him say them?
Shao Chaojun felt even more wronged.
"And you, don't do anything unnecessary that causes trouble for the family in the future, or I'll divorce you," Shao You said harshly to Ge Lingli.
Ge Lingli stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
He actually said he wanted to divorce her over such a small matter!
For a moment, Ge Lingli's eyes reddened.
Was she wrong to do this for her son?
Besides.
She didn't cause any trouble at the Song family's house, and was even looked down upon by the gatekeeper, Xiao Zhao. She had a lot of grievances but didn't tell her husband, yet he said such things to upset her.
Ge Lingli felt increasingly wronged as she thought about it, and tears were about to fall from her eyes.
Shaoyou left the living room with a cold face.
After waiting for a while, Shao Youyou remembered the clothes they had ordered earlier.
"Mom, should we cancel our custom-made clothes? Dad's so angry, we'd better not cause trouble at the Song family's place," Shao Youyou thought of that young master Yan and couldn't help but shudder.
