Chapter 156: Unusual Research Site Selection
"This is a notice for the 'Forest Classroom' program. There will be a month-long outdoor study tour next month. I need to discuss this with my family. If you agree, please sign here and return it to me by next Monday."
Chen Shuang held the bread in his mouth and tapped the paper lightly.
"OK, thanks."
He Jing took it carefully and read it line by line until the three words "Kelanxing" appeared in front of him. He Jing's smile finally couldn't be suppressed.
"Are you happy? You can finally go meet your General Gu!" Chen Shuang's relationship with He Jing has made great progress in the past year. He has guessed something from their interactions and the few words they exchanged. He is truly happy for his friend at this moment.
"Your family must have made a lot of efforts. Our outdoor study tours have never been to the Northwest War Zone. After all, it's not as safe as the other war zones."
He Jing's ears turned red, "What do you mean my home..."
Seeing that Chen Shuang was about to open her mouth, he was afraid that she would say something crazy again, so he quickly picked up a small dried fish and stuffed it into her mouth, "Okay, stop talking."
OK, OK~
Chen Shuang smiled, blinked, and made a gesture to shut up.
"Hey, if this wasn't on Kelan Star, would you not participate?"
"I will participate. Why do you say that?" He Jing looked at Chen Shuang strangely.
"You just didn't participate in the activities and dinners held by the class before. When you were a freshman, they thought you looked down on them and that's why you didn't want to participate."
"No, how could that be! I just don't really like participating in these activities. You know I don't usually go out."
"Hehe, I didn't know at the time. Seeing you always had two guardians on your left and right, I thought the Gu family didn't allow you to go out and play."
Not really, I'm just afraid that I might accidentally become a test subject in a laboratory...
That night, Shen Wanzhou's name was signed on the notice, and He Jing held the notice in her bedroom and video-called Gu Zheng.
"Has the notice come down?"
"Hmm...it really is in Chongshan Garden!"
Gu Zheng chuckled, "Can I still lie to you?"
"Chen Shuang said that this has never been carried out in the Northwest War Zone before. Is it very troublesome?"
"Fortunately, Chongshan Garden has a high ecological value and is very suitable as a research and study location. However, the school needs to consider the safety of the students, so Chongshan Garden is not their first choice."
"Then how did you do it?" He Jing tilted his head, looking confused.
"I will personally be responsible for safety issues during the study tour."
"?!" He Jing opened his eyes wide, "Aren't you very busy recently?"
"We're almost done." Gu Zheng walked out of the aircraft, and a familiar robot appeared in the camera.
"Master, welcome home. The hot water is ready, and the air circulation system is pre-set...Miss? Is that Miss?!"
"Uncle Xu, long time no see!"
"Wow, wow, the young lady hasn't been home for 382 days! Since the young lady stopped coming, even the young master hasn't been back often. The house is empty, and only Uncle Xu is here..."
"Okay, remember to buy the dessert ingredients the day after tomorrow."
"Wow!" The robot's crying eyes turned into stars, "Is the lady coming back?!"
"Um."
"Then I'll go move your favorite pot of gladiolus back to your room. That way, when you come back, the room will smell delicious!"
"No need..." He Jing waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm participating in a research trip, and I guess I'll have to live in a unified dormitory."
"No need, I'll stay at home." Gu Zheng sat down on the sofa with a glass of water. The dim light in the living room made him look very gentle.
"Yes! It's good to live at home! We have everything at home!" Uncle Xu came up with a smile, "Miss, I clean the room every day!"
"Thank you, Uncle Xu~"
The two chatted for a while, and He Jing looked at the time. It was almost ten o'clock.
"I saw online that tomorrow is the last day of parliament. You should get some rest!"
"Well, good night."
After hanging up the phone, He Jing suddenly thought of the proposal on marriage distribution reported online. It probably won’t pass, right?
If marriage is all about distribution, then don’t people become commodities?
At that time, the powerless high-ranking people will become resources that the nobles and wealthy can control...
He Jing's dark blue pupils trembled, and he put the intelligent computer aside and closed his eyes.
Go to sleep. No matter how much she thought about it, it wouldn't change anything. She believed in Gu Zheng and believed that he would not let such a thing happen.
The next day, He Jing was extremely nervous, and even Chen Shuang beside him could feel it.
"What's wrong? Are you so nervous about going to Crane Planet?"
"No!" He Jing shook his head and lowered his voice slightly. "Do you know the proposal of the Rights Center this year?"
Chen Shuang frowned and squinted his lips. "Of course I know. Hey, when will the Rights Center go bankrupt?! They always pretend to be nice to the high-ranking people, but in fact they just want to completely control them and serve these nobles!"
"Of course, I'm not talking about the Gu family! It's just other people..."
Hejing nodded, expressing his understanding. "I thought the reputation of the Rights Center would be..."
"In fact, the Rights and Interests Center had a good reputation when it was first established, but the more it developed, the more selfish people became. At the beginning, they would try to cover it up, but in the past few years, the Rights and Interests Center was the only one in power, so they just didn't care."
"They take high-ranking individuals and train them themselves. After these individuals enter various industries, they then make money for them. Moreover, many wealthy people will do this just to have high-ranking offspring... What's the difference between this and human trafficking?!"
Chen Shuang became angrier as he spoke. With a snap, the pen in his hand shattered.
He Jing was startled and hurriedly took out a tissue to help her wipe her hands. "What's wrong? Did you get pricked? Does your hand hurt?"
"..." Chen Shuang looked at the girl holding her hand with an anxious look on her face, and shook her head after a while, "It's okay, Xiaohe, it's a good thing you met Gu Zheng."
"Um?"
"My aunt was a high-ranking S-class person. She disappeared shortly after the transformation was completed."
He Jing suddenly raised his head, "Could it be..." He Jing couldn't imagine what it could be.
There was a moment of silence between the two. Chen Shuang smiled, "Are you scared? It's okay. The Gu family won't let anything happen to you. However, is your extended custody period coming to an end soon?"
He Jing was stunned and his heart skipped a beat. Yes, it wasn't about to come, it ended yesterday.
The Gu couple didn't mention it during dinner this morning, and Gu Zheng didn't mention it in the video last night, so she forgot about it.
Did two years pass so quickly?
He Jing was a little confused. What should she do now?
There was only one class in the morning. When the bell rang, He Jing packed his schoolbag in a daze and followed the crowd out.
By the time I realized what was happening, I was already on my way to the laboratory.
He Jing paused and thought, forget it, since I’m already here, I might as well go.
The classroom is a bit far from the laboratory, and there are fewer and fewer people on the road. He Jing lowered his head and opened the Star Network, checking the news related to the parliament one by one.
[The last day of the parliament has begun. Mr. Luo Ning, the head of the Rights Center, has arrived. We can see...]
[General Gu said: Human rights and independence are inviolable...]
[The meeting is still ongoing, and we can see that the public is reacting strongly to the proposals of the Rights Center...]
…
Suddenly, all the hairs on her body stood up, and He Jing subconsciously took a step back to the left. A syringe shining with silver light brushed against her coat and hit the ground.
