A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

After hearing this, Gui'er felt a little relieved and asked quickly, "How do we save them? Do you need my help?"

Chen Zhongyu said, "Where are you? I'll go find you."

Gui'er hesitated for a moment, but still told him the address. Chen Zhongyu said, "Okay, I'll be there right away. You can tell Wu Mingqiang that I'm Sha Yanyao's classmate."

After hanging up the phone, Gui'er said to Wu Mingqiang, "The classmate I just called actually has a brother who is a classmate of my eldest brother. He heard about our family's situation and wanted to come over to discuss countermeasures."

Wu Mingqiang asked with some concern, "Is this person reliable? Can he help?"

Gui'er nodded and said, "It should be fine. He's also Director Song's classmate, his name is Chen Zhongyu. He's been to Sha Mansion before, and Ah Cheng has seen him before."

Wu Mingqiang looked at Ah Cheng, who nodded and said, "I did come to the mansion once."

After a while, Chen Zhongyu arrived. Gui'er was a child, so Wu Mingqiang, as the host, welcomed the guest and the two sides exchanged a few words.

Chen Zhongyu said to Wu Mingqiang, "I've already heard the specific situation from Miss Gui'er over the phone. I want to know what the Sha family thinks about the rescue plan for this matter."

Wu Mingqiang smiled and said, "I've been entrusted by the Marshal and the Second Young Master to rescue the eldest young master's family with all my might. Of course, I'm doing my best. Boss Chen's willingness to lend a hand is truly commendable. I wonder if Boss Chen has any ideas?"

Chen Zhongyu listened and said with a smile: "It seems that this boss still doesn't trust me. You should know that I am not only your eldest master's classmate, but also Song Xichen's classmate. I was entrusted by the Song family to help."

Wu Mingqiang smiled awkwardly and said, "Boss Chen, you're being overly suspicious. But since it's the Song family's commission, that's perfect. I wonder how much the Song family is prepared to pay?"

Chen Zhongyu said, "The whole thing is actually very simple. Director Zhou wanted to cause trouble for Marshal Sha. I don't think the Song family should pay for this kind of situation. The person who tied the bell must untie it. As long as your eldest young master is saved, Song Xichen and his sister, as the relevant parties, will be innocent."

Wu Mingqiang licked his lips and said with a smile: "Boss Chen is telling the truth, but we don't know where to start now. I have met with relevant people. They are still brooding over the fact that the Marshal's Mansion asked Tang Yaozu for compensation. They want the Marshal's Mansion to spit out the money and pay a large sum of money at the same time. Frankly speaking, the Marshal's Mansion thinks this is unreasonable. At present, the Marshal has only agreed to 100 small yellow croakers, so we are actively contacting Director Zhou. If Boss Chen has other connections and can persuade Director Zhou, that would be the best. Otherwise, the Song Mansion's two children are in jail. I believe Mr. Song is also very anxious. In this case, it's not a big deal to pay a little money."

Gui'er understood that Wu Mingqiang wanted Chen Zhongyu to contribute some money as well. She knew that the commissions Chen Zhongyu received from the Song Mansion might not be genuine, so where could he get so much money?

Sure enough, Chen Zhongyu said, "How about this? I'll go and find out if Director Zhou has any other people who can persuade him? Then I'll discuss it with Mr. Wu." Then he stood up and said goodbye.

Gui'er quickly stood up and followed him out. Wu Mingqiang and she sent Chen Zhongyu to the gate of the yard.

The car drove several meters away when Chen Zhongyu suddenly stopped the car, lowered the window, stuck his head out and said to Gui'er, "Guier, come here."

Gui'er hurried over, and Chen Zhongyu whispered to her, "Actually, I do have an idea, which is to kill Director Zhou. He's like a mad dog, destroying many of our liaison stations. Previously, because our comrades were transferred in time, there were no casualties. This time, two comrades have sacrificed their lives. If he continues like this, we will suffer great losses. I will find someone to persuade Director Zhou to accept the 100 gold bars from the Sha Mansion and release the people first. We will find a way later. If you can persuade the people in the Sha Mansion to provide some help, that would be the best. Of course, ensure your own safety first."

Guier said, "I understand."

After the car left, Wu Mingqiang asked, "Miss Guier, what did Chen Zhongyu just say to you?"

Guier said, "He said he would do his best to help, and that reassured me."

Wu Mingqiang thought for a moment and said to Gui'er, "I have a feeling this guy is not simple. Miss, be careful. If you hadn't told me you'd seen him before and he was the young master's friend, I would never have let him come here. It's too dangerous."

Guier smiled and said, "He was a classmate of Big Brother's from many years ago. We seem to have a good relationship, so he should be trustworthy. Besides, we don't have anyone to rely on right now. By the way, how is Brother-in-law doing?"

Wu Mingqiang said, "Before I came, the young marshal called Director Wang, but Director Wang seemed helpless. He and Director Zhou weren't on good terms, and Director Zhou was desperate to drag Director Wang into this. Now Director Wang couldn't even hide, so he wasn't willing to put in any effort. He was just trying to find out indirectly."

Gui'er sighed, remembering what Chen Zhongyu had just said, and said to Wu Mingqiang, "No matter what, we need to get them out first. The conditions in there are terrible, and my mother and sister-in-law are delicate women. I'm afraid they can't handle it."

Wu Mingqiang said, "Miss, please rest assured. I will do my best."

Gui Er thought about it again and said to Wu Mingqiang, "Why don't I call and talk to my father and my second brother?"

Wu Mingqiang thought for a moment and said, "Miss, if you want to call to reassure me, that's fine, but ever since this happened, Mrs. Song has been running to the Marshal's residence every few days to look for him. Sometimes she'll be gone for a long time. Even with all this, the Marshal hasn't relented. I'm afraid it's going to be difficult."

From these few words, Gui'er could probably guess that Mrs. Song and the Marshal must have done something dirty again. She was in no mood to care about this elderly adulterous couple. The most important thing was to rescue Manager Liu and Song Xichen, especially Manager Liu. As the daughter of the Marshal, she would be beaten if she went in. She was really worried that Manager Liu, who had no background at all, would be beaten to death.

After thinking it over again and again, Gui'er finally called Sha Yanxiao in the courtyard. The housekeeper answered the phone and said that Sha Yanxiao would not be back until the evening. She could not wait any longer, so she called the military camp and finally contacted Sha Yanxiao.

Sha Yanxiao asked her with concern: "Are you okay? I heard you were injured. Is everything serious?"

Gui'er said, "Brother Wu has already called a doctor to treat him. His injuries aren't serious. I'm hiding now. If my eldest brother can't be saved, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the light of day again. Second brother, you have to think of a way."
