A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

Gui'er returned to Sha Mansion full of questions.

Jin Bao was sitting in the living room reading a book. When he saw her come back, he picked up the book in his hand and shook it, saying, "I was bored, so I went to your room and got two books."

Guier said, "It's okay, just watch." Then she went to her room to do her homework.

Dingxiang brought over the milk, and Guier asked, "Did Director Zhou come over today?"

Ding Xiang shook her head and said, "No."

"Did the young master go out to work as usual?"

Ding Xiang thought for a moment and said, "Yes, he went out to work early in the morning and hasn't come back yet."

Gui'er thought about it and realized that if that was the case, then Director Zhou's attack should have nothing to do with her family. She originally thought that it was Madam and Sha Yanyao who did it themselves without telling her.

When it was time for dinner, Guier came to the restaurant and didn't see Sha Yanyao, so she asked, "Why isn't my brother here?"

The wife said irritably, "Your eldest brother hasn't come back from work yet, why are you so anxious?"

As they were talking, there was a commotion in the garden. Gui'er turned around and saw Sha Yanyao walking in quickly with an unusual look on his face.

She smiled and greeted Sha Yanyao: "Brother, you just got back? Are you so busy with work?"

Sha Yanyao didn't answer but just smiled and looked at his wife a few more times.

Guier felt that there seemed to be a hint of panic in the lady's eyes.

Song Tingting said, "Now that we're all here, let's eat. Everyone's hungry."

The lady said: "You are such a heartless person..."

Sha Yanyao interrupted her and said, "Since you are hungry, let's eat."

So he ordered his servants to serve the food.

Gui'er felt very strange. Could this matter really be related to her Sha Mansion? But why did they hide it from her?

A family was having dinner when suddenly there was a loud banging sound at the gate. Before anyone could react, a group of people rushed in.

Guier took a look and saw that the person in the lead was the captain of the action team who was responsible for monitoring them before.

He entered the room and waved his hand. His men in plain clothes immediately drew their guns and surrounded the people at the table.

Whether they were servants or masters, they all stood there in a daze, looking at them nervously and not daring to move. Gui'er had a vague feeling that this was related to what Teacher Zhang Yunchu had told her after school, that Director Zhou had been attacked today.

Sha Yanyao stood up and said to the team leader with a smile, "Captain, we are having dinner. I don't know what you mean by this."

The captain didn't speak.

"Are you eating? It seems I came at the wrong time." Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Director Zhou walking in slowly from the door with his hands behind his back.

Sha Yanyao and his wife quickly stood up to greet him, saying, "It's Director Zhou. What's going on? What's the big deal?"

Director Zhou stretched out his hands behind his back. It turned out that his left wrist and palm were bandaged.

"Hey, Director Zhou, what happened to you? You are injured so badly?" the lady asked in surprise.

Director Zhou glanced at everyone present and said slowly, "This afternoon, when I was driving home, two people suddenly ran out and fired five or six shots at my car. I used up all my bullets, but I was lucky and only injured my hand."

"That was too dangerous. Who did it? Fortunately, you are okay. You see, you are injured. Sit down and rest for a while." The lady said flatteringly.

Director Zhou snorted coldly and said, "I am now fully investigating to see who is so blind as to dare to assassinate a government official."

After hearing this, Gui'er hurriedly asked, "Uncle Zhou, haven't the people who tried to assassinate you been caught?" If that were the case, could it be that Madam and Sha Yanyao had done it without telling her? Sha Yanyao did look very strange today, but looking at the bewildered expressions of Song Tingting and the other servants, it didn't seem like he was faking it.

"The people who tried to assassinate me were shot dead on the spot. It was a bitch and her lover. I just don't know if there is anyone else behind them." After saying that, Director Zhou swept his sharp eyes over everyone present.

"So that's how it is. No wonder you need so many people to protect you. You really need to be more careful." Although Gui'er had doubts in her heart, she didn't want to be caught.

"Uncle Zhou, you are injured and should eat more foods that are good for your body. Look, we have stewed pig's trotters today, which is just right for replenishing your body. You should sit down and have a bowl." Suddenly, Jinbao stood up in a baby voice, walked to Director Zhou, pulled his shoulder and said.

Seeing this, his wife and Sha Yanyao also hurriedly persuaded him, "Yes, Director Zhou, please sit down and have a simple meal together."

The lady hurriedly ordered the cook, "What are you still standing there for? Go and stew the fish maw that the second young master sent over. It's the most nutritious thing."

"But that bag of fish maw says it's reserved for the young lady..."

"You bastard, just stew when I tell you to."

The cook looked at Gui'er, then lowered his head and went into the kitchen.

Sha Yanyao picked up the wine glass, poured a glass of wine for himself and Director Zhou, raised the glass, and said with a smile: "Director Zhou, come here, I toast you a glass."

Director Zhou looked at Sha Yanyao with a half-smile.

Jinbao quickly said, "Uncle Zhou's hand is injured and he can't drink. Let me get you a bowl of soup." As he said that, he filled a bowl of soup and walked up to him holding it in both hands.

Director Zhou glanced at Jinbao and said with a smile, "Little girls are really considerate." As he said that, he took the bowl of soup from Jinbao's hand and touched Jinbao's tender little hand.

Sha Yanyao smiled a little awkwardly.

The lady quickly scolded Sha Yanyao, saying, "You too, why are you still drinking when your hand is injured? Men are like this, they don't know how to feel sorry for others. Jinbao, come and have dinner with your Uncle Zhou."

Jin Bao said obediently, "Hey." Then he sat next to Director Zhou.

Seeing the spies still gathered around, Guier said to Director Zhou, "Uncle Zhou, your colleagues must be hungry too. Why don't you let them sit down and eat together? Ask the chef to cook a few more dishes."

The lady suddenly woke up and said, "Oh, you see, I am old and confused. I even forgot this. Come, come, come, officers, please take a seat."

Then he warmly invited the spies, who were still holding their guns, to sit at another table and ordered his servants, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and make some tea and bring out some snacks for the officers. Didn't you bring some chocolates and imported biscuits from home? Bring them all out."

The spies looked at Director Zhou's expression and did not move.

Director Zhou nodded slightly, and then everyone put away their guns and sat at the table next to them.

After a while, the servants brought tea and snacks. Guier took a look and saw that the boxes of snacks and chocolate biscuits were all brands that she usually liked to eat, and some were even imported. The spies were not restrained when seeing this and started eating happily.
