A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

Regardless of whether it was true or false, Yulan's action moved the lady. She took Yulan's hand and said, "With your kindness, my love for you is not in vain."

In comparison, Director Wang seemed a bit hypocritical, constantly glancing towards the door. Less than ten minutes after sitting down, he said to Yulan, "Look, now we've seen it all. As long as everyone is fine, that's enough. You're also in a heavy state, so hurry back."

Yulan was stunned for a moment, but it was not easy to refute him, so she smiled and said to the lady and Sha Yanyao, "Yes, you are tired too, so get some rest. We will be leaving first."

So everyone saw them off to the gate of the yard and they got in the car and left.

After sending him back, the lady said, "I didn't expect Yulan to be such a sentimental person. Others would avoid her at this time."

Song Tingting said sarcastically, "She's a prostitute. Even if we're down and out, we're still nobler than her. If she hadn't been the daughter of a warlord, she wouldn't have been able to marry into Director Wang's family. Of course, she doesn't want anything to happen to us."

Guier remembered that Director Wang was always looking out the door, so she whispered to Ah Cheng, "Go outside and take a look. Is there anything unusual?"

Ah Cheng nodded and went out. After a while, he came back and said, "Our house is under surveillance. There are many people dressed as vendors, pushing carts near the door, in front, behind, left and right."

Everyone in the room looked at each other in confusion, and everyone became uneasy. After a while, Sha Yanyao sighed and said, "Don't worry about that for now. Everyone has worked hard these past two days. Let's rest early today."

All the servants in the room went back to their rooms.

The next day, when Gui'er went to school, she found that there were some snack vendors at the door early in the morning. They were not there usually, and those people did not look like they were doing serious business. When they saw someone coming out of the house, they stared at them.

Gui'er also became uneasy, and Sha Yanyao said to her: "The situation is not peaceful now. Sister, please go to school with my car."

Gui'er was about to agree when Song Tingting said coldly, "Yan Yao, the situation is not peaceful now. It's not safe to go anywhere. It's better to separate. At least someone can escape safely. Everyone knows that my sister is the best at escaping."

Sha Yanyao rolled his eyes at her and said, "Stop talking."

Gui Er smiled awkwardly and said, "Big Brother and I go to school in different directions. We should take separate buses instead of taking such a long detour."

Sha Yanyao had no choice but to nod and say to her, "Then be careful on the road."

Guier smiled and said, "Okay."

After getting on the rickshaw, Gui'er asked Ah Cheng, "Brother Ah Cheng, can you go and find out how Manager Liu is doing? Has he been released? My brother and the others have already been released, so he should have been released as well as the person who testified against my brother."

Ah Cheng nodded and said, "Okay."

But at lunchtime, Ah Cheng came to Gui'er and said, "Manager Liu hasn't been released yet, but we bribed the guards and found a doctor to treat him. His condition isn't too bad now, except for a broken leg."

Gui Er was extremely anxious when she heard this and said, "How can this be possible? If he can't save his leg, won't he become a cripple? Logically speaking, if we have already released the eldest brother and the others, there is no reason why we shouldn't release Manager Liu as well."

Ah Cheng shook his head and said, "It's mainly because Director Zhou still doesn't want to let the young master go. As the witness who testified against the young master, Shopkeeper Liu will definitely not let him go easily."

Gui Er also knew that this was a problem that Ah Cheng couldn't handle, so she asked, "Is Wu Mingqiang still here?"

Ah Cheng said, "Brother Qiang is still here. He was entrusted by the young commander to wait until the matter is settled before returning."

Gui Er said, "Could you please tell Brother Cheng to tell Brother Wu to think of a solution?"

Ah Cheng nodded and left.

Gui'er still felt that something was not quite right. She was not sure if Wu Mingqiang could handle it. If she asked Chen Zhongyu, she was afraid that it would attract attention. After thinking it over, she found Miss Shen.

Seeing that she had come to see her, Miss Shen felt a little embarrassed and said, "I haven't visited you since you came back. Mainly because my mother is very worried. These past two days, she noticed that your family has been under surveillance. My mother found out and was terrified. She scolded me again. I'm really afraid that it will implicate us. I don't mind it, but my mother is old after all, and she can't bear it. I heard that Mrs. Sha was gone for two days and she looked very thin when she came back. Is she okay now?"

Gui'er quickly said, "So that's how it is. We should be careful then. Look, I'm fine now, don't worry."

Miss Shen nodded and said, "Seeing you look so energetic, I'm relieved. Actually, after I sent you away, there was no news from your family for two days. I was really worried. I was a little worried that it wasn't the right choice for you to go to Yulan. After all, her background..."

Guier smiled. Miss Shen's worries were not unfounded. In fact, Yulan did spend a day in a courtesan's brothel.

Miss Shen asked: "What do you want to talk to me about now?"

Guier quickly said, "Oh, nothing happened? I just wanted to let you know I'm safe. Class is about to start, so I'll go back first." Then she walked out of the teacher's office.

In fact, she originally wanted to ask Miss Shen to make an appointment with Xu Wenjie, but when she heard Miss Shen say that, she thought that if she met with Xu Wenjie now, she would definitely be noticed by the people who were monitoring them. Wouldn't that increase the risk of Xu Wenjie being exposed?

When I got home from school in the afternoon, I heard Song Tingting's voice as soon as I entered the house.

"My brother hasn't been released yet. What's going on? Why didn't you ask my father-in-law to tell them?"

The lady said slowly, "That's because your father is so stingy. He wants to watch your brother die. What can we do?"

"What does this have to do with my father? This is clearly a conflict between the Sha Mansion and Director Zhou. My brother was arrested because he was implicated."

"What's the point of saying this? Do we want to have a conflict with Director Zhou? Director Zhou is simply targeting the wealthy people in our Jiangcheng and wants to bleed them to fill his own pockets. As the richest man, your father will definitely pay a part of the money. Hurry up and make a phone call and ask your father to pay." said the lady.

After that, Song Tingting went upstairs angrily.

Gui'er was also very upset. She ate a few bites of food at night and went back to her room.

She was at her wit's end. The person who needed treatment the most was Manager Liu, so she had to hurry. However, there was no way to contact Chen Zhongyu and Xu Wenjie, so she didn't know if they had taken any action.

After hesitating for a while, Guier came to Sha Yanyao and Song Tingting's room on the third floor. Both of them were very surprised by her arrival, but they still politely let her in.
