A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

Jinbao said, "But now it's been so long that we can no longer buy tickets for that show. What if someone asks about it during this time gap?"

Gui'er was stunned for a moment. She hadn't expected Jinbao to be so thoughtful and considerate. Looking at the cinema's ticket office, she suddenly had an idea and said, "Let's buy tickets right now and then look for the ticket stub from the previous show on the floor inside the cinema. Someone must have thrown it away after watching it."

So the two of them immediately bought two tickets to enter the venue. Sure enough, they found two consecutive ticket stubs from the previous show on the ground covered with melon seed shells, peanut shells, and cigarette butts.

The two looked at each other, stood up in tacit understanding and walked out with their backs hunched.

After coming out, he quickly called a rickshaw and went straight back to Shafu.

When I returned to the house, I found that Sha Yanyao had also returned, changed his clothes, and was sitting in the hall reading a newspaper.

Gui'er and Jinbao just came back from playing outside as usual. They didn't say anything, ate some snacks and went back to their rooms.

Gui'er read a book and did some homework in her room when Sha Yanyao came.

He walked into the room, smiled at Gui'er, and said, "The problem is finally solved. It's all thanks to you."

Gui Er waved her hand and said, "No, we didn't do anything. We just lured him away. Brother, when did you set the explosives? Was it at the Café de la Café? The explosives were so powerful, it seems even more powerful than what Director Shen used."

Sha Yanyao shook his head and said, "That's exactly why I came to you. Have you told anyone about Director Zhou's whereabouts?"

Gui'er felt a little guilty and said, "No, why would you say that?"

"The explosives I placed shouldn't have caused such a huge explosion. Is there anyone else who also wants to kill Director Zhou?"

Guier thought of the phone call she made to Miss Shen. Could it be that Xu Wenjie's people had arrived?

She said to Sha Yanyao, "Even if there are other people who want to kill Director Zhou, it's not surprising. Look at these three people today, aren't they?"

Sha Yanyao smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I was the one who found those three people too. The one named Feng'er is Director Zhou's fiancée, and the two men are her fiancé and her brother. Just like last time, I provided them with weapons. After you set out today, I wanted to follow you, but suddenly I got a call from them saying they seemed to have been discovered. I thought they couldn't escape, so I might as well use them to lure Director Zhou over so I could attack him in secret. I just didn't expect you to follow him."

Gui'er broke out in a cold sweat. She roughly knew what had happened. She went to the coffee shop first. Originally, Sha Yanyao wanted to follow them and wait for an opportunity to plant a bomb in Director Zhou's car, but suddenly he received a notice from Feng'er, saying that he had been discovered by Director Zhou's minions.

Sha Yanyao may have remembered that he couldn't do it last time and felt that he had to create chaos, so he turned around to calm Feng'er and asked them to stay where they were and wait for him. However, he did not go to rescue them. Instead, when Director Zhou rushed to deal with them, he first placed a bomb on Director Zhou's car, and then ran to the opposite building to fire a hidden gun.

What a ruthless scheme! Although Director Zhou was eliminated, three innocent people were also killed. Gui'er looked at Sha Yanyao, who had a calm face, and didn't dare to say anything. She just said, "Big brother, if others investigate how those three people got the guns, won't they find out about you?"

Sha Yanyao smiled, patted her head and said, "Don't worry about that. I bought those guns from that black market merchant last time. Wu Mingqiang was too kind-hearted and just chased him away. I followed him and killed him. There's no way they can find out."

Gui'er was stunned. It was Gui'er who asked Wu Mingqiang to spare the life of that black market gun dealer, but she didn't expect that he was killed by Sha Yanyao.

Sha Yanyao was usually very gentle and refined, even having the air of a cowardly rich young master. Unexpectedly, he was so ruthless when he acted. Gui'er couldn't help but feel a deep fear of him, but she didn't dare say anything. She just smiled and said, "That's good. Our family is finally safe. Let's quickly rescue Brother Wu. And Young Master Song, he's your classmate, your sister-in-law's older brother, and he's implicated by us, so he should be rescued."

Sha Yanyao touched Gui'er's face and said, "Wait a moment. This has just happened. If we act too soon, it will arouse suspicion. I came to you mainly to ask you not to act rashly. I know that Xichen took care of you when you were a child. I'm afraid you are willing to help this time because of him. However, we have to wait until the storm of this matter has passed and they have a new boss in power. By then, the direction will be different and they will have no evidence. We can smooth things over and release him naturally."

Gui'er felt that although what Sha Yanyao said made sense, she was afraid that Manager Liu wouldn't be able to wait that long. However, she couldn't tell Sha Yanyao directly, so she nodded and said, "I understand."

The next day when she went to school, she found that half of the spies disguised as street vendors surrounding the gate were gone, and the remaining people were listless, as if they had no mood to monitor them. Even when she came out of the gate, they ignored her and instead whispered to each other.

Gui Er guessed it was because of Director Zhou's incident, so she calmly got on her rickshaw and headed to school. On the way, she heard the children selling newspapers shouting, "Come and see, come and see, breaking news! A high-ranking government official was killed in a gunfight over a relationship dispute."

Gui'er quickly asked Acheng to buy a copy. In the photo, there was not even a human figure visible, and the car shell was deformed by the explosion. It was completely different from the last explosion by Director Shen. Gui'er became more suspicious that two teams had installed bombs on the car one after another.

She was not in a position to speak directly to Ah Cheng about this matter, so she said to him, "Brother Ah Cheng, many of the spies at our door suddenly withdrew this morning. Go and investigate the reason. Could it be related to this? If so, find a way to investigate and see if you can rescue Wu Mingqiang."

Acheng was Wu Mingqiang's direct subordinate, so he must have cared about this matter and agreed immediately.

When she arrived at school, she didn't see Zhou Huifang. She asked other students, but some said they didn't know, while others were very secretive. Then a classmate named Han Baozhu, who was usually close to Zhou Huifang and whose family also worked in the government, looked at Gui'er strangely and said, "You really don't know what's going on?"

Gui'er was startled and pretended to be confused, saying, "I really don't know. Is her mother feeling unwell again, or what?"
