A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

When Gui'er heard her say this, she felt a little guilty and quickly said, "It's all a misunderstanding. It would be great if it could be resolved as soon as possible."

I don’t know if Zhou Huifang went home and talked to Director Zhou, or what happened, but they were not stopped when they went out after that. However, Dingxiang said that servants who went out to buy vegetables would still be stopped, so now they have to buy a few days’ worth of vegetables every time they go out, so that they can pay less bribes.

On this Sunday, Gui'er didn't have to go to school and had nothing to do at home, so Jinbao said, "Why don't we go out for a walk?"

Gui Er suddenly came up with an idea and said to Jin Bao, "Okay, I'll treat you to a cake and a movie at Xinjiekou."

Jinbao was very happy. Guier turned around and ran to Sha Yanyao and said to him, "Brother, we are at home on Sunday and have nothing to do. I plan to take Jinbao out to play and watch a movie."

After hearing this, Sha Yanyao smiled and said, "Okay, you've been bored at home for a while. Now that the inspection is not strict, it's good to go out and have some fun." Then he took out some banknotes and change and gave them to Guier.

Song Tingting said with a pursed smile, "Are you here to report? Are you here to ask for money?"

Guier smiled awkwardly and left. Her main purpose was to let Sha Yanyao know her whereabouts.

Then she brought Jinbao out, and they first went to the Café de Café in Xinjiekou, ordered a cake, and sat there to eat snacks and drink coffee.

After eating a few bites, Jin Bao said, "I know what you want to do today. Now call Director Zhou."

Guier smiled and said, "I really can't hide it from you, but I'm afraid you need to make this call. I'll call someone else."

So the two of them went to the counter to borrow the boss's phone. Gui'er knew Zhou Huifang's home phone number, so she dialed it and gave it to Jinbao, who then went to find Director Zhou.

After the call was connected, Jinbao deliberately said in a baby voice, "Uncle Zhou, Gui'er and I are out shopping. We're at the Café de Caesar right now and we're going to see a movie later. Didn't we say last time we'd treat you to a meal as a thank you? Are you free now? We'd treat you."

Then after a few seconds, Jinbao said, "Okay, we'll wait for you to come over." Then he hung up the phone.

Said to Gui'er: "He agreed."

Guier nodded and said, "Okay, go back and sit down first. Sit by the window. If there's anything wrong, tell me."

Then she quickly called Miss Shen's home and said to her, "Sister Feng Shu, please tell Xu Wenjie that Director Zhou is at the Café de Café."

Miss Shen immediately reacted and said, "Okay, I'll notify him right away."

Not long after I put down the phone and returned to my seat, Director Zhou came over. He walked over to their seats with a smile and said, "You two are so thoughtful. You even remembered to treat me to some snacks. But I prefer watching a movie. Are you done? Let's go."

Guier knew he had no good intentions, because the cinema was pitch black. If he rushed over so hastily, even a fool would know he had some ulterior motive. So she smiled and said, "Uncle Zhou, please sit down and have some coffee before you leave. We haven't finished our cake yet."

Director Zhou had no choice but to sit down patiently and ordered a cup of coffee. Jinbao cut him a piece of cake. They ate while chatting and laughing. Guier looked out through the glass window. Director Zhou's car was parked on the roadside outside the cafe. As usual, the driver was sitting in the car waiting.

She glanced at the people on the street again, and it seemed that she didn't see Xu Wenjie's men coming. If this continued, she would miss this opportunity again.

Seeing that the cake was almost finished and the outside seemed to be very calm, Guier felt a little discouraged and thought that Xu Wenjie might not have had time to arrange for people to come over.

Finally, they finished their coffee and cake. Director Zhou said, "Can we go now? There's a movie called 'Pansi Cave' that came out recently. It's really good. Let's go see it."

Gui'er and Jinbao had no choice but to agree. She looked out unwillingly, but saw someone walking to Director Zhou's car. She thought it was Xu Wenjie's man, and her heart was in her throat, but the man bent down and said a few words to the driver in the driver's seat.

Then the driver's face changed. He hurriedly opened the door and got out of the car, walking straight towards the cafe with the man.

Director Zhou also noticed it. When his subordinate came in, he asked with a sullen face, "What's going on?"

The driver glanced at Gui'er and Jinbao and said, "Two men came to Miss Feng'er's place. They've been in for more than ten minutes and haven't come out yet."

When Director Zhou heard this, his face changed. He stood up and walked out. After taking two steps, he turned back, forced a smile, and said to Jinbao and Guier, "Uncle is busy. I'll accompany you to the movies next time." Then he turned around and left with his two subordinates.

Watching them leave, Jinbao whispered to Guier, "What happened?"

Gui'er shook her head, and Jinbao said, "Why don't we go and take a look."

Gui'er said, "He's driving a car. How can we catch up with him?"

Jinbao said, "It's okay. I know this area well. The road they're taking is very straight, and there are so many people on the road that they can't drive fast. Let's call a rickshaw and follow them from a distance."

Guier knew that the safest way was to go home immediately, but she was unwilling to do so. This was a rare opportunity. Director Zhou rarely got so confused. Maybe if she followed him, she would have a chance to take action.

So the two of them quickly paid the bill, followed him out, called a rickshaw, and didn't tell the driver where to go, but just kept going forward.

After walking for about 20 to minutes, they saw Director Zhou's car turning into a fork in the road in the distance. Jin Bao quickly said to the driver, "Let's stop here."

The two men got off the rickshaw. Gui'er gave the rickshaw driver some money and sent it away. She said to Jinbao, "Now we don't have a rickshaw, how can we follow him?"

Jin Bao said, "It's okay. I'm familiar with this area. When I was working in a brothel, my sister often brought me here to accompany the gentlemen drinking. The houses around here are where the concubines and mistresses of the rich and powerful live. Some of them will rent a room here and bring some female friends and friends to have parties."

The two walked along the fork in the road. The road inside was much narrower than the outside. As they walked, it turned into an alley with many connections. They walked again, and after about five or six minutes they finally saw Director Zhou's car parked in the alley, but there was no one there.

Isn't now a good time to plant a bomb? Gui'er really hated that she didn't have a bomb on hand, otherwise she could just stuff it under the car right now and be done with it.
