A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

Gui Er thought for a moment and said, "How about this? Boss Xu will be in charge of finding the tabloid reporter and telling him about the situation, while Brother Cheng will be in charge. After all, he's been in gangs before, so he knows all about these black-on-black, extortion, and trap-setting tactics, and he can be very careful."

Xu Wenjie thought for a moment, nodded, and then said to Gui'er, "Why would the Marshal's Mansion hire someone like this as a servant? He's always by your side, so he doesn't have any bad intentions, does he?"

Gui Er smiled and said, "No, they are just some poor families who can't afford to eat and have to do this business. Besides, they are actually my brother's men and are afraid of my brother's methods."

Xu Wenjie wasn't very familiar with Sha Yanxiao, but Miss Shen did. She said to Xu Wenjie, "Don't worry. Every wealthy and noble family in Jiangcheng knows that Gui'er is the young marshal's beloved sister, let alone a mere servant."

Xu Wenjie finally nodded in relief and said, "Okay then. I'll go to the newspaper office I'm working with over the next couple of days to see if there's anyone suitable. You guys go back first."

Gui'er returned to the classroom with great joy. Zhou Huifang asked curiously, "You just went to the printing house with Teacher Shen. Why are you so happy?"

Gui'er quickly said: "No, it's just that Boss Xu told a very humorous joke." In fact, she was happy that Miss Shen finally joined the revolutionary team and became one of them. She always thought that Miss Shen was a very conscious person, and now she didn't have to avoid her in everything.

On the way back to Shafu from school that day, Ah Cheng told Gui Er, "Miss, something has happened that is beyond our budget."

Guier asked nervously, "What's wrong?"

Ah Cheng sighed and said, "Prostitutes are known for their outspokenness. The prostitute I found told her other sisters about Young Master Liang's situation. Now Young Master Liang has become a hot commodity in that brothel, and the original prostitute hasn't paid much attention to him anymore. Those prostitutes have even turned against each other to fight for him, and now it's a real commotion."

Gui'er was a little amused when she heard this. She didn't really want to ask about the affairs of those prostitutes, but in this way, Young Master Liang didn't have an affair with a specific prostitute, and there wouldn't be any major scandal. After all, visiting brothels to find Sister Yao was a hobby of many playboys. It was nothing big and not considered explosive news.

She frowned and said to Ah Cheng, "If this happens, then there will be no way to create explosive news."

Ah Cheng said with some embarrassment, "That's exactly what's bothering me. After all, those prodigal sons visiting brothels and drinking wine isn't exactly breaking news. Even if Boss Xu finds a tabloid reporter, they might not be willing to report it."

Gui Er comforted him, "Forget it. Just keep a close eye on it for now. I'll think of a way to take a look."

When I returned to school, I saw Zhou Huifang looking very happy and wearing a pair of cheap but fancy earrings.

Guier asked her, "Did you buy the earrings you're wearing yourself? They don't look like the style you usually wear."

Zhou Huifang smiled mysteriously and whispered to her, "This is a gift from Guowei. Does it look good?"

Gui'er forced a smile and said, "I thought you always liked simpler and more elegant styles."

Zhou Huifang smiled and said, "He said he was very busy with work recently, so he rarely came to see me. Yesterday, he suddenly showed up and gave me this pair of earrings. He said he was too busy recently, so he brought me a souvenir as an apology."

Gui'er certainly knew what was going on. She didn't have the heart to expose Liang Guowei, and she was also worried that even if she told him, Zhou Huifang would not believe it.

Now the prostitute's side couldn't proceed, and on Zhou Huifang's side, Liang Guowei had begun to get more and more demanding. She was really worried that Zhou Huifang would be taken advantage of by Liang Guowei.

She smiled and said to Zhou Huifang, "You two are so sweet, why don't you take him to meet your parents?" Zhou Huifang's father worked in a secret agency after all, so it should be easy for him to investigate a person's background. If two young people just started dating, their parents might not care. But if they took them to meet their parents, it meant they were talking about marriage, and by then they would definitely investigate each other's character and family background.

Zhou Huifang frowned and said unhappily, "I did mention it, but he said he was looking forward to it, but he wouldn't go meet his parents until he was done with his work. He's very patriotic and dedicated to serving the country, so I can't help but support him."

Gui'er thought to herself: You are the only one who believes such nonsense.

Two days later, Ah Cheng told Gui Er, "That Young Master Liang seems to be planning to make a move on your classmate, Miss Zhou. He even told the prostitutes about his date with Miss Zhou and said he'd already found an opportunity to get her. He also said he wanted to turn your classmate into a sister of the prostitutes. I don't know what he means, but it doesn't look good, so I wanted to tell you."

As soon as Gui Er heard this, she knew that Liang Guowei was trying to lure Zhou Huifang into corruption. She couldn't bear to watch her classmate get killed, so she asked Ah Cheng, "Tell me as much detail as possible about his interactions with those prostitutes."

Ah Cheng said with some embarrassment: "Miss, you are a lady from an honest family, listening to these things..."

Gui Er smiled and said, "I've known for a long time that Liang Guowei is a scumbag and trash. What he did was definitely not good. But I want to find his flaws and help my classmates escape his clutches. I can only understand his behavior patterns first, and then find his weaknesses."

Ah Cheng whispered, "If the Young Marshal and Brother Qiang knew about this, wouldn't they kill me?"

Gui'er said, "Don't worry, I won't tell them."

Ah Cheng had no choice but to think about it for a while, then hesitantly said: "He, he said the most interesting thing is to watch prostitutes pretending to be decent women and seducing female students into becoming sluts."

After hearing this, Gui'er felt speechless. It seems that no matter what era, the bad taste of scumbag men is the same.

"Wait, you said he thinks the most interesting thing is to see prostitutes pretending to be decent women. How do they do that?"

Ah Cheng shrugged and said, "I don't know either. I pretended to be a customer to approach the prostitute I had met before, and that's what she said."

Gui Er suddenly felt as if she had a little inspiration, so she asked, "How is the relationship between that prostitute and Liang Guowei now?"

Ah Cheng sighed and said, "She's average looking, with a fiery and overbearing personality. Although she wanted to marry Young Master Liang, her sisters were more favored by him. She's still furious, saying she shouldn't have told others about Young Master Liang's background, which cost her a patron."
