The assistant brought a cup of coffee and placed it next to Gu Yuan. Gu Yuan picked it up and took a sip. The bitter taste spread in his mouth, but it stimulated Gu Yuan's spirit and made him sober in a short time.

He casually asked, "Have you found someone to take the blame?"

The assistant still had the tray in his hand. He held the tray against his chest and lowered his head to answer Gu Yuan's question:

"I've found it, you can do the rest."

"Well done, you will be rewarded after the task is completed."

Gu Yuan picked up the report again and started looking at it. He waved his hand to signal his assistant to leave. The smell of bitter coffee spread throughout the cabin.

He sighed inwardly: "God is really helping me."

The plane landed at a suburban airport. The airport staff had reserved a VIP channel for them. As soon as Gu Yuan got off the plane, someone drove a Rolls-Royce nanny car to pick him up. He had a smooth journey until he met Jiang Ning.

Looking at the muddy and narrow path in front of him, Gu Yuan cursed inwardly, but still tried to suppress his emotions. He said to the driver:

"We really have to take this route? There is no other way to get to the sub-district police station, right?"

The driver was just a worker. He shook his head and replied helplessly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, the road to that place has not been well-built since the beginning, so I can only trouble you to make do with it."

Gu Yuan continued to ask, still finding it hard to accept: "Do your tourists also take this road to go inside? You are not afraid of disturbing your customers, but you are afraid that they will never come again."

"In fact, tourists will take a helicopter to avoid the bumpy ride."

The driver was wearing sunglasses and answered his questions calmly, which made Gu Yuan seem a little impatient.

Gu Yuan gradually spoke in a less-than-optimistic tone. The mud on the ground had already made the soles of his shoes dirty.

"What about the helicopter? Did you eat it?"

"There are only two planes in total. The fuel used in one trip is just enough for them to make a round trip from here to the scenic spot. One plane is waiting at the scenic spot to send other tourists back, and the other one has been sent for maintenance."

Gu Yuan stood there, looking a little speechless. Seeing that he had no intention of getting on, the driver urged him:

"Sir, you'd better hurry up, otherwise, at our current speed, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the police station before dark."

Gu Yuan hesitated for a long time, but still got on the "car". Perhaps in his eyes, this could not be considered a qualified car at all.

As soon as he got in the car, the smell of cheap leather from the car seat cushion made him dizzy and want to vomit. Coupled with the bumpy ride, the bitter coffee flowed back into his throat. The taste made Gu Yuan frown.

There were three assistants who went with them. At this moment, the three tall and strong men were squeezed together in the narrow back seat.

The car passed one bend after another, and then suddenly braked sharply, and Gu Yuan's head almost hit the glass.

He loudly questioned the driver: "Can you drive? Ah!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu. A fox just ran by, so I had to brake. Sorry."

The driver defended himself, but his explanation seemed a little weak to Gu Yuan because Gu Yuan did not see the fox he was talking about.

"What a fox, why are you making so many excuses?" Gu Yuan straightened his clothes and urged the driver to get on the road quickly. "Why are you looking at me? Go with your car. You delayed my business. I will never forgive you."

Seeing the people behind him eager to get on, the driver still backed off. In this situation, it was not worth it to confront them head-on, so he had to obey and go on the road.

Fortunately, there were no other accidents along the way, and the driver arrived at the police station before dark as he wished.

He dropped Gu Yuan and the others off and ran away in a hurry. After the torture that Gu Yuan had gone through along the way, the physical nausea had overwhelmed the psychological disgust. At this moment, he didn't bother to find the driver to hold him accountable. He just wanted to rest quickly.

Jiang Ning was still sitting on a bench in the police station, swiping his phone out of boredom. The signal here was not good, so he kept watching the videos he had shot before over and over again.

She was even able to find many deficiencies in her acting skills, which she had not noticed when filming before.

Seeing Gu Yuan getting out of the car, Jiang Ning immediately ran towards him and hugged Gu Yuan's waist. A familiar scent permeated his nose, light and reassuring.

Gu Yuan coughed twice, and Jiang Ning asked him with concern: "What's wrong? Is it because of the climate and water?"

The assistant beside him answered for him: "Ms. Jiang, Mr. Gu is just a little tired after the bumpy journey."

"Oh, is that so? Come in and have a rest."

Jiang Ning asked Gu Yuan to put his arm on her shoulders, and then dragged him back step by step. She put Gu Yuan on a chair, and then took a disposable paper cup to get a glass of water for Gu Yuan.

"Drink some water and press it down."

She fed Gu Yuan water with one hand and stroked his back with the other hand to help him calm down.

Gu Yuan swallowed, pushed the cup away, and said, "Okay, okay, I don't want to drink it anymore." He wiped the remaining water drops on his mouth with his sleeve.

Jiang Ning saw that the three people who came with him were still standing there stupidly. They probably couldn't sit down casually without Gu Yuan's orders.

They may not be able to endure such a bumpy journey.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning said to them, "Don't just stand there like an idiot. Find a place to sit down.

Those people seemed a little at a loss, which further confirmed that Jiang Ning was right. Gu Yuan gave them a look, and they found a place to sit down.

Gu Yuan looked at Jiang Ning's face and said to her earnestly, "You won't blame me for being late, will you?"

Jiang Ning originally wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Gu Yuan. As a result of his interruption, Jiang Ning forgot what he originally wanted to say.

She could only continue with Gu Yuan's words: "No, I never blamed you. I wanted to go out and have fun on my own."

"That's good." Gu Yuan took the water from Jiang Ning and drank it all. "You have finished the record. If there is nothing else, why don't we leave first? After all, it is really unsafe in a place like this."

Jiang Ning lowered his head. He had something to say, but it was hard to say it in front of outsiders. All he could say was just one: "Yeah."

But looking at the sky outside the window, Jiang Ning was troubled again and asked him: "Should we still take a taxi? But it seems difficult to get a taxi now."

Gu Yuan threw the disposable paper cup in his hand aside and said confidently: "Don't worry, I will definitely make you leave comfortably."

Jiang Ning rubbed his hands and said, "Okay...it's just...why does this sentence sound a bit weird..."

"It doesn't matter. That's what I meant anyway. Don't think too much about it."

Gu Yuan rubbed Jiang Ning's head and smiled at her as usual, but today Jiang Ning always felt that his smile was a little deliberate, and the curve of his mouth was different from before.

There was a loud roar of a helicopter tail hovering in the sky, which meant that she could finally leave this place.

The helicopter landed and the cyclone stirred up dust in the surrounding air. Gu Yuan asked Jiang Ning not to go out yet, so as to avoid getting covered in dust.

When the outside was finally calm, Gu Yuan took Jiang Ning's hand, led her onto the helicopter, gently helped her put on the helmet, and tucked her hair behind her ears, treating Jiang Ning like a child.

But just when the helicopter was about to take off, Gu Yuan jumped down!

Jiang Ning was surprised and asked him, "What's wrong? Why do you want to go down?"

But Gu Yuan just stood there, waved goodbye to her, and slowly backed away as the helicopter started.

She still had something on her ear, so she couldn't hear what Gu Yuan said. When she pulled it off, the helicopter was about to take off, making a shrill sound, so she had no choice but to put it back on.

The other people on the helicopter closed the door, and Jiang Ning could only watch through the glass as Gu Yuan, who was still on the ground, got smaller and smaller until he completely disappeared from her sight.
