However, he is no longer the same person he used to be. He knows exactly what he needs and can tell who is right and who is wrong.

The big pies given by the system are of no practical use to him, so why should he do something that harms others and benefits himself?

He didn't have much desire for material life, otherwise he would have been in cahoots with those people.

But he was almost fooled by the system. Fortunately, he woke up in time.

He is already like this, it is normal for Qiao Lei, who is ambitious and has desires, to be controlled by the system.

There was one thing he was sure of, if he and Qiao Lei were not so far apart.

During the years when he was bewitched by the system, it was likely that only one of him and Qiao Lei could survive.

When the two met, he had already woken up from the temptation of the system.

I originally thought that they could live in peace, but who knew that Qiao Lei had reached the point where she had no choice.

Qiao Lei is kind by nature and often does good things involuntarily.

This is also the reason why he always gives Qiao Lei opportunities. Otherwise, Qiao Lei can be arrested at any time with just one word from him.

When it comes to interests, Qiao Lei always loses control of herself and always does irreparable things.

How long has the system been with Qiao Lei? She has already done so many things against her will. Even though she knows it is wrong, she can't control herself and wants to touch it.

If the system and Qiao Lei had stayed together for a longer time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

He had been hesitant about arresting Qiao Lei, and wanted to see if there was any room for Qiao Lei to be retained.

Once you enter that place, you will never be able to get out again in your life.

It can be said that once you go in, your life will be ruined.

But who could have thought that someone as extreme as Lin Xiaomei would emerge.

Even if he wanted to, he couldn't save Qiao Lei.

After chatting with Dai Guoyu for a day, the few of them got along as if nothing had happened.

This time when they left, Lin Shaoyang and Qi Bing followed the normal procedure and bought a few raw stones and took them back.

There is still half a month before school starts after they return home, and they are busy with various work during the summer vacation.

However, Lin Shaoyang and the others had asked for leave for them, so it was okay for them to go back.

Jiang Yanqiu decided to go back to her hometown in her previous life to see if she could find the place that could not be found on the map.

Although it was not on the map, Jiang Yanqiu still guessed the approximate location.

If she could be found, even if her family wasn't there, there would always be a family with a similar fate to hers.

If possible, she really wanted to stop her mother in her previous life from giving birth to them.

A mother suffers when she has many children, and the children suffer too.

The two told Lin Shaoyang and the others that they were going out for a trip.

Dai Guoyu had to go back to prepare for the Northwest affairs, and Qi Bing and Lin Shaoyang would not accompany them to play around. They had been away for a month and they missed home.

They flew back, while Jiang Yanqiu and the others took the train. They separated when they arrived in Huadu.

Before they parted, Dai Guoyu said, "I don't know when we'll meet again. I hope you'll stay true to your original aspiration and keep your mission firmly in mind. My phone number won't change. If you have any difficulties, call me. Don't do anything illegal."

Jiang Yanqiu nodded and agreed, "Okay, I wish you all the best. Do your research well and let us hear good news from you as soon as possible. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me and I will do my best to help."

Dai Guoyu said bluntly, "Then please donate a few million or tens of millions to me for research funding."

Jiang Yanqiu was stunned and said unhappily, "See if you can sell me for this much money. If you can, just sell me."

Dai Guoyu and Lin Shaoyang laughed heartily. Qi Bing said, "I'm just afraid Chu Tingnan won't let me sell it. Otherwise, it would definitely sell for tens of millions."

Chu Tingnan said seriously: "Tens of millions, you can sell me along with it, but we want to sell you along with it."

Qi Bing said disdainfully, "You definitely can't be sold. No one would want you even if you were given away. If they treat you as a gift, your wife would be worthless."

Chu Tingnan grabbed Qi Bing and said, "Try saying it again."

"That's the truth. It won't change no matter how many times you say it."

The two men fought together, and when they had enough, Lin Shaoyang said, "Let's go quickly. If you encounter a traffic jam, you might miss the train."

The two of them stopped.

Jiang Yanqiu said to Dai Guoyu seriously, "Other matters are easy to discuss, but money is out of the question."

She really didn't have a penny left.

Lin Shaoyang jokingly said, "Even the stingy guy's feathers are easier to pluck than hers."

Jiang Yanqiu didn't bother to pay attention to them and turned away.

Jiang Yanqiu and Chu Tingnan got off the train. It was a rainy day and it was so cold that Chu Tingnan shivered.

Surprised, he said, "The weather changes so quickly! We should take the bus. It was scorching hot in Huadu, but it's so cold here that some people are wearing cotton coats."

Jiang Yanqiu said: "This is the weather here."

Looking at the unfamiliar city and the familiar mountains, she felt at ease, knowing that she had not made the wrong choice.

Although it was not as developed as it is today, it was an important city supporting the Third Front Construction, and many residential areas that are familiar to later generations still existed here.

The train station is bustling with people coming and going.

Chu Tingnan walked for a while and asked curiously, "Have you noticed that we can actually understand their dialects? Some have the same accent as Huadu, with strong retroflex consonants, some have the accent of the chief designer, some have the accent of the Northeast, and some have the accent of Shandong Province..."

Jiang Yanqiu explained with a smile, "There are many ethnic minorities here, and everyone used to speak their own languages. Later, it became a major industrial city during the Third Front construction, and many people came from the north to provide support. Of course, they have acquired local accents. Locals learn Chinese from outsiders, so their accents become the same as those of their teachers."

Chu Tingnan asked curiously, "Can you speak the language of the ethnic minorities here?"

Jiang Yanqiu shook her head and said helplessly, "No, my generation has been influenced by foreign cultures. Not to mention us, even my father and his generation can't speak it."

Chu Tingnan asked, "Which generation are they from?"

"Not even two years older than us."

Jiang Yanqiu was familiar with the terrain and could speak the local dialect, so the journey was smooth and there was no deliberate cheating like in other places.

However, when he returned to his hometown in his previous life, Jiang Yanqiu had to show him the way personally because he couldn't tell the specific place.

It was clearly the familiar mountains, familiar fruits, and familiar roads, but in the end, it was as if she was trapped in a ghost wall and couldn't find her hometown.

I changed several routes and returned to the city from different directions.

I changed several drivers, but they all used the same formula and routine, but I just couldn't find her hometown in her previous life.

Chu Tingnan asked doubtfully, "Are you sure you didn't take the wrong road or go in the wrong direction?"

Jiang Yanqiu sighed and said, "No, I'm very familiar with the mountains and rivers. We even walked back to save on bus fare."

Chu Tingnan said: "That's strange."

Jiang Yanqiu finally gave up and said, "Forget it, let's walk there tomorrow. If we still can't find it, we won't look for it. I guess the time is not right yet. Then I'll go to where I went to high school and see if I can find that school."

Maybe she shouldn't be allowed to go back, otherwise how could this happen?

It’s really hard to explain metaphysical things.

The next day they walked the same way, and inexplicably walked back to the city.

Jiang Yanqiu stopped looking and went directly to the high school where she attended high school. This time she found it quickly and the location was not changed.

When she was in high school, the school had already built many new teaching buildings, but there were still many old buildings.

For example, the two newly built teaching buildings on both sides of the gate are still in use after forty years, and the gates are the same.

When Jiang Yanqiu saw the familiar building, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Looking at the familiar place, I felt like I had found home and inexplicably wanted to cry.

The bulletin board at the school gate displays the list of students who were admitted to universities this year.

My former teacher was not bragging. No. 1 Middle School was once quite glorious, and many of its students were admitted to key universities.

Especially Huada Imperial University, there are more people who were admitted to key universities than when they were studying.

When they were studying at No. 1 Middle School, it was already in decline.

There was a saying at that time: "No. 1 Middle School is a country bumpkin, No. 2 Middle School has good grades, No. 3 Middle School has a good environment, No. 4 Middle School has good parents, and No. 5 Middle School has a good location."

Almost all the students admitted to No. 1 Middle School are from rural areas, and their foundation is very poor.

No. 5 Middle School was originally located in the suburbs, but the area behind it was developed and quickly became the city center.

At this time, someone came over to greet Jiang Yanqiu: "Classmates, are you here to repeat your studies?"

Jiang Yanqiu looked back and was stunned. This was not the Chinese teacher from her senior year of high school.

Although it has been more than 20 years, I can still recognize it.

Looking like this now, he should have just graduated from college.

Chu Tingnan said politely, "Hello, we are from out of town. My name is Chu Tingnan, and this is my wife. Are you a teacher here? Can you show us around your school?"

The other party answered readily: "Sure, but I just got assigned here and I'm not familiar with it."

"Thank you so much."

The two followed him in and chatted for a while, and found that the only difference was their names.

Everything else is exactly the same, even some small habitual movements are the same.

When leaving school, Jiang Yanqiu and others decided to donate money to the school to build teaching buildings and dormitory buildings, and also set up scholarships and grants.

In the next few days, in addition to coordinating with No. 1 Middle School, these matters will also be dealt with.

In her spare time, Jiang Yanqiu went back to her hometown every day, and the result was always the same.

When leaving, Jiang Yanqiu still felt a little regretful.

Chu Tingnan originally wanted to buy some local specialties to take back, but he couldn't find any, so he bought a bunch of chili peppers to take back.

He also said that the chili peppers were delicious and not spicy.

Jiang Yanqiu followed him.

The two returned to Huadu. It took two days to fly back from Huadu and then take the train.
