A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

After that, Guier successfully completed the task of delivering brochures several times until all the printed brochures were delivered. Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, the printing room fell silent again, and Miss Shen's reading and literacy activities came to a temporary end.

Gui'er finally breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as she walked out of the school gate after school that day, she found that it was Sha Yanyao who came to pick her up.

She was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that Sha Yanyao wanted to see Jinbao and needed her to be a cover, so she understood and got in the car.

Sha Yanyao said to her, "Recently, your sister Jinbao said you haven't been here for a long time. What have you been busy with? I heard that your teacher Shen is organizing some kind of reading and character recognition activity. I wonder if he's dragging you into it."

Gui'er quickly said, "Many students at school have helped and participated in this, not just me. Besides, this is a good thing. It can help more people learn to read, which will improve their thinking. It's good for society."

Sha Yanyao smiled and said, "As the saying goes, 'Birds of a feather flock together.' Now that you're around Feng Shu all day, you've become just as romantic as she is. While this activity is certainly a good one, don't expect it to have too big of an impact. Even if some people learn to read, it doesn't mean they'll be enlightened. Don't hold out too much hope."

Gui'er knew he was telling the truth, but since their mission was to cover up their own mission, it didn't matter.

Sha Yanyao added, "It's a good thing Fengshu married someone like Xu Wenjie, a man who's both aloof and a bit of a nerd. Otherwise, what would their life be like? I think you should persuade her to have a child as soon as possible. In the Military Commission, Xu Wenjie is considered a freak. He's been married for so long, but he doesn't want a child. He's like a transparent person all day long, and his salary is low. He's dispensable. If it weren't for his father's former prestige, he would have been purged long ago. By then, his marriage to your teacher Shen would be in jeopardy, believe it or not?"

Guier smiled awkwardly: "How can a child like me talk about these things with the elders?"

Sha Yanyao also laughed after hearing this and said, "That's right."

When we arrived at Jinbao's house, we were naturally treated to delicious food and good hospitality. Jinbao was now becoming more and more pregnant.

Seeing Sha Yanyao and Gui'er coming, she naturally asked for some delicious food to entertain them, and then she acted coquettishly and affectionately with Sha Yanyao.

But this time, they didn't stay long. On the way back, Gui'er asked curiously, "Brother, Jinbao is like this now, and his body is getting heavier. You always ask me to come with you, and we don't have much time to spend together. I feel a little sorry for it. Jinbao must feel wronged."

Sha Yanyao sighed helplessly and said, "You know your sister-in-law is very demanding. I'm afraid that if a dispute arises, the child will get hurt. It's better for us to live separately. I'm still on the rise, Director Zhou, and I can't offend her right now. I think she must also know about Jinbao's situation, so she deliberately let Gao Zinong steal my limelight. I'm afraid she's trying to warn me."

Gui'er pretended to be curious and asked, "Is Gao Zinong really that capable?"

Sha Yanyao smiled wryly and said, "He's certainly capable and passionate about his work. He even boasted to us that he could wipe out a large revolutionary stronghold in no time. Now, my subordinates are starting to show some signs of not wanting to be led by me. We have to curb this trend."

Seeing that he was willing to tell her this, Gui'er immediately feigned interest and said, "I'm curious, how did he become so capable? He's new to the industry, unlike you, big brother. You've been by our father's side since you were little, always assisting him and being decisive in killing. He's just an ordinary kid, living an ordinary life. Forget about anything else, he probably hasn't even fired a gun before."

Sha Yanyao smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You're underestimating him. He's not an ordinary family. His relative and the leaders of the Shanghai Green Gang are sworn brothers. They're well-connected in both the black and white worlds. That's why he knows all that. If he hadn't intervened, your classmate Zhou Huifang might not have escaped becoming someone else's concubine."

Gui'er's heart is very complicated. Judging from Zhou Huifang's incident, he seems to be a good person, but he still cannot clear himself of the suspicion that he may be a traitor.

She told Miss Shen and Xu Wenjie what she had heard about Gao Zinong and asked for their opinions.

Xu Wenjie and Miss Shen were very surprised when they heard this.

Miss Shen said, "No wonder, but I've never heard of any of our colleagues joining the Green Gang."

Xu Wenjie said, "His family elders were members of gangs, so it's not surprising that he participated in them, especially in a complex environment like Shanghai. Our comrades in Shanghai also had the opportunity to interact with the Green Gang. In fact, my superiors have already replied to me, saying that although Comrade Gao Zinong is still under observation, he can basically be confirmed to be reliable. Because when he learned about the attack on the base, it was too late. He still managed to notify another comrade who had escaped not to return, which saved his life."

Gui'er was stunned. "So that's how it is. I was wrong about him then. But considering his current status and the fact that he came to confess to me that he was our comrade, it's indeed quite suspicious."

Xu Wenjie smiled and said, "That's true. The superiors also said they would remind him to pay attention to discipline. If he comes to you about this again in the future, you can deny it. This is also for your safety."

Gui'er nodded and said with some annoyance, "Can I tell Zhou Huifang about his gang background?"

Miss Shen said, "Silly child, Zhou Huifang and he are not even half-relatives, are they? Maybe everyone knows that he has this kind of background, so don't say anything."

Guier had no choice but to agree.

After class that day, the next day was Sunday and the school was closed. Guier asked Zhou Huifang to go out and play.

Zhou Huifang said very apologetically: "I'm sorry, I can only arrange to go hiking on Sunday... Or, why don't you come too."

Gui Er laughed dumbly: "Who do you think I am? No matter what, I wouldn't be so ignorant. You and your partner finally have the opportunity to meet, so you should go and have fun."

At this time, several classmates passed by them.

"Pah, you went through so much trouble to find a spy, you must be crazy about men, right?"

Gui'er was stunned for a moment. She turned around and saw a classmate with whom she didn't interact much.
