"Yes, Mr. Xue, I guarantee I will complete the mission."
After leaving Mr. Xue's place, Liu Jiyuan escorted them all the way back to their hotel.
"Do you live here? Why don't you move to the area around the research institute? There are military bases there, and there are patrols at night, so it's safer."
Liu Jiyuan considered that Chen Yunyun was a woman with three children and no man by her side, so he was not comfortable with her staying in a hotel at night and suggested it to her.
"Okay, then I'll trouble Comrade Liu to lead the way." Chen Yunyun thought for a moment and immediately agreed.
“I’m a few years older than you, you can just call me by my name.” Liu Jiyuan was gentle and gentlemanly, and it was very comfortable to be around him.
He even noticed that Chen Yunyun was having some difficulty holding Xu Jingsheng, so he took the initiative to hold Xu Jingsheng and often paid attention to the child's emotions.
In the afternoon, while he was in the office, he was worried that his two older children would be bored, so he specially found some comic books for them to read.
He was so thoughtful and attentive to everyone, big and small, that it was hard for Chen Yunyun to feel any ill will towards him.
The next day, Chen Yunyun and the children slept in late, a rare occurrence. When they got up, it was already broad daylight.
Chen Yunyun got ready and took the children out.
As soon as I went downstairs, I saw Liu Jiyuan sitting in the lobby of the hotel.
"Comrade Liu, didn't you say you'd arrive at ten o'clock? How long have you been waiting?"
He smiled at Chen Yunyun, "Chen Yunyun, I just told you to call me by my name yesterday, why are you being so distant today?"
"Uncle Jiyuan," the three children greeted him obediently.
Liu Jiyuan skillfully scooped Xu Jingsheng up and handed him the breakfast he had bought.
"You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Try this pancake. It's a very authentic local delicacy. Before he retired, Mr. Xie ate one of these every day."
After thanking Liu Jiyuan, Chen Yunyun took a bite of the paper-wrapped pancake and her eyes lit up. The crust was crispy and crunchy, and the inside was filled with sweet brown sugar. It was warm and had a molten center.
"Mmm, it really is delicious!"
They ate breakfast in the lobby on the first floor before setting off.
A car was parked in front of the hotel. A police officer was driving, and Liu Jiyuan was sitting in the passenger seat, holding Xu Jingsheng in his arms.
Chen Yunyun sat in the back with her two older children.
This wasn't their first time riding in a car, and neither Xu Jingrun nor Xu Jingtian reacted much.
After observing for a while, Liu Jiyuan discovered that Chen Yunyun's family background was probably not as bad as the information stated.
He then thought that the information might be incorrect, since the information he had seen was a rough version and the more detailed information had not yet been sent.
The vehicle traveled for more than an hour before finally coming to a stop.
"This is the Forbidden City. I'll take you inside."
Liu Jiyuan had some kind of certificate; he just had to show it to the guard at the gate and he could get in.
Chen Yunyun couldn't help but think, "Having a special privilege is really great."
The Forbidden City covers a vast area and boasts a magnificent architectural style. Liu Jiyuan, who accompanied the group, was extremely knowledgeable. At each location, he could tell three or five historical stories, captivating the audience.
The next few days were spent with Liu Jiyuan, visiting many attractions, big and small, and the whole family had a great time.
It's almost time to leave the capital; no matter how reluctant I am, I have to say goodbye.
Liu Jiyuan took Chen Yunyun to the train station. When she came, Chen Yunyun was carrying a small bag with some changes of clothes. Unexpectedly, when she returned, her bags were full of clothes.
There were clothes and gifts that Liu Jiyuan bought for the children, as well as souvenirs that Chen Yunyun bought herself.
She was carrying bags in both hands, so Xu Jingsheng had to carry them on his back.
"Even after a thousand miles of travel, we must part ways." It's rare to meet someone you feel an instant connection with, and Liu Jiyuan was very reluctant to say goodbye. "Chen Yunyun, you must bring the children to play again next time!"
"Okay, Brother Jiyuan, no need to see us off. We're going back now. I'll send you some mountain produce when I get home. You should like it."
"It's fine if you don't send it. Just be careful on your journey. Send me a telegram when you arrive, or have Elder Xie make a phone call. Otherwise, Elder Xue and I won't feel at ease."
They chatted for quite a while before parting ways as the train prepared to depart.
"Uncle Jiyuan, welcome to Nanxian." Xu Jingtian really liked Uncle Liu Jiyuan; he was much gentler than Uncle Rongyan.
"Okay, I definitely will." Liu Jiyuan smiled warmly.
As the train started moving, Liu Jiyuan's figure was gradually left behind.
Nanxian County, which we haven't visited in a long time, and Xujia Village, which we haven't visited in a long time, are coming back!
I wonder how that foolish Xu family is doing now? Chen Yunyun curled the corners of her mouth.
In the remote Xujia Village of Bajiao Brigade.
Just as Chen Yunyun had guessed, life wasn't easy for the Xu family.
That night, Xu Zhijin's attempt to harm others backfired, and he fell and broke his head, bleeding profusely. He lost consciousness after returning home, which terrified Lin Li and Old Mrs. Liu.
The cursing of Chen Yunyun continued all night, even waking up Xiao Fubao, and Xu Zhitie could no longer pretend to be asleep.
"Mother, what's wrong?"
"Your older brother was murdered. He has a hole in his head and hasn't woken up yet. That damned nemesis of a woman."
"How could this be?" Xu Zhitie feigned ignorance. "What happened to my brother? What's wrong with him?"
Lin Li then tearfully recounted what had happened that night.
Xu Zhitie shouted, "Sister-in-law, Mother, Second Brother, you are all so confused!"
"Is this even possible?"
"This is completely illegal!"
Xu Zhiyin, who had been silently smoking to the side, exhaled a heavy smoke ring upon hearing his younger brother's words. What was the point of saying anything now, since his older brother was already injured?
