Void Jigsaw Puzzle
Chapter 191 Return to Wuming City
Xie Wanwan stared at Guo Ling, who was in a fierce ideological struggle, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was something wrong.
Why is this strange man so interested in his sister-in-law? Although he doesn't look like a bad person, but...
So, she simply asked directly: "What is your relationship with my sister-in-law? It must be something special, right?"
"We are husband and wife..." Guo Ling was lost in thought at the moment and paid no attention to Xie Wanwan in front of him, so when she raised this question, he blurted out subconsciously.
However, after just four words, he realized something was wrong and quickly tried to smooth things over: "...There seems to be some connection. Like I said just now, the person I'm looking for seems very similar to your sister-in-law, so I asked a few more questions, hoping to give it a try."
I broke out in a cold sweat.
Xie Wanwan looked at Guo Ling's expression, half believing and half doubting him. However, since she had no evidence to prove he was lying, she could only respond, "So there really are people in the world who look that much like him?"
"Yes, I had never seen such a thing before, so I couldn't help asking a few more questions. Don't blame me, Miss Xie." Guo Ling quickly backed down.
However, in just these few words, he had made his decision.
I still need to inform Zhong Chenmu of the situation first, and then come back to look for Hou Chang. I can't change direction without saying anything, communication is very important.
Before he was fired from the company, what he hated most were teammates who were like pigs, so he must not become such a person.
Thinking of this, he nodded at Xie Wanwan: "Thank you for the information, I'll leave first. If I find the person I'm looking for and she is related to your sister-in-law, I will come back and tell you."
A hint of disappointment flashed across Xie Wanwan's eyes, but she still managed a smile: "Well, thank you."
Guo Ling took out a banknote and put it on the counter without hesitation: "Even though you don't let me buy your things, I should be thanking you! I must accept it!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the store.
Xie Wanwan looked down at the unfamiliar banknote - the money in Kunlun City did not look like this. She then looked up at Guo Ling's back and couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Guo Ling climbed the stairs from Sifangping back to Baihe Bridge without stopping. Looking at the turbulent Baihe River below, he first tried to send a message to Zhong Chenmu, but there was no response.
"Sure enough, it seems that we are not within the coverage of the same element node, so information transmission cannot be achieved..."
Therefore, he could only start the element node transmission, and after another brief dizziness, he returned to the Taibai Star Dome Element Node.
He was about to send a message to Zhong Chenmu, but he seemed to have thought of something and returned to Wuming City without stopping.
Only when his body reappeared on the People's Square platform did he feel a sense of security.
The familiar scenes and the friendly smells are finally back.
He gritted his teeth, hailed a taxi, and returned to Linjiang Building as soon as possible.
It was around four in the afternoon, and the corridor was deserted; everyone was busy at their desks. As I was walking towards Zhong Chenmu's office, a little girl in red clothes ran out of a room in front of me.
As soon as the girl saw him, she shouted happily, "Uncle Guo! You're back! Everyone was so worried about you!"
Guo Ling also smiled like a flower, rushed over and picked up the girl: "The little girl seems to have gained weight again!"
Zhu Tong curled his lips: "That's because I've grown taller!"
After she was put down, she blinked and said, "Uncle Guo, Brother Zhong and the others are in the big conference room at the end. Go find them and let them know you're back so they won't worry. You can play with the little boy later."
"Yeah." Guo Ling gently touched Zhu Tong's head and walked quickly to the end of the corridor.
Before I even reached the door, I heard a woman's voice coming from the half-open door: "You can go without worry, leave the house to us!"
This is the voice of a mature woman, with a hint of vicissitudes, and full of energy and confidence.
Guo Ling always felt that he had heard this voice somewhere, but he couldn't remember where it was.
"Never mind, let's go in first!"
Guo Ling pushed the door open and saw a beautiful scenery before him.
The conference room was mostly filled with women, and attractive women at that. Aside from Fan Ting, the remaining surviving members of the Twelve Apostles were all present. Guo Ling felt a bit overwhelmed, and only noticed Zhong Chenmu and Old Man Liu at first glance.
The one standing and speaking, with golden hair, perfect figure and rich complexion, was Pu Yue!
Guo Ling didn't know what was going on and was stunned.
Everyone in the venue also noticed him.
Among the people sitting opposite him, Zhong Chenmu was the first to react. He stood up excitedly and shouted, "Brother Guo, you finally showed up! Are you okay?"
Fan Ting had her back to him, but now she quickly turned around and looked at Guo Ling, her eyes full of joy.
Huoyue, Reyue, Guoyue, Fengyue and others also smiled and nodded at him.
Huo Yue's eyes were burning, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't utter a word.
Pu Yue just looked at him calmly and pursed her lips.
Guo Ling suddenly felt a surge of inexplicable nervousness, but this emotion was soon replaced by the excitement of reunion.
He walked to the empty seat next to Old Man Liu, patted Old Man Liu on the shoulder, and then said to everyone: "I'm sorry to have worried you all, I'm fine."
Then, he said to Zhong Chenmu, "You guys continue. We'll talk after you're done."
Zhong Chenmu nodded: "You came at the right time. Everyone is here now. Let me introduce you. This is Pu Yue."
"How could I not know Pu Yue?" Guo Ling said with a smile.
"Just get to know each other again." Zhong Chenmu said.
Pu Yue smiled at this time: "Guo Ling, long time no see."
"Hey, long time no see." Guo Ling still didn't understand why Pu Yue appeared here, so he could only respond with a few words.
Zhong Chenmu saw what Guo Ling was thinking and quickly explained the whole story.
He and Fan Ting had found Pu Yue, living in seclusion in a shipping container in an abandoned factory in Ciqikou, and had invited her to rejoin the Jigsaw Puzzle Team. To their surprise, Pu Yue had long harbored this desire, but due to her past sins, she had never dared to contact them. Now, they had reached out to her, and Pu Yue was eager to join them, but she also offered a condition.
"I hope to find my missing husband."
At that time, when they heard Pu Yue's request to agree to a condition across the container, Zhong Chenmu and Fan Ting were slightly nervous, because they didn't know what the condition would be. However, after hearing this, they were relieved.
Isn't this their common goal?
After Zhong Chenmu's narration, the meeting room fell silent. Everyone else already knew what was going on, with the exception of Guo Ling. However, everyone knew Guo Ling's position within the Jigsaw Puzzle Team, and his reaction was crucial.
Guo Ling did not open his arms to welcome her. Instead, he frowned and asked Pu Yue directly, "How credible are your words?"
Everyone, including Zhong Chenmu, felt a little nervous.
Could it be that Guo Ling has a different opinion?
Pu Yue shook her hair slightly and said word by word, "I am also a disabled person, just like all of you. The ultimate goal of a disabled person is of course to complete themselves, and this is the same for you. No matter what I did in the past, some of it was a means I took voluntarily to achieve this goal, and some of it was done out of necessity. Do you think I would willingly give myself to that old man?"
After saying this, she didn't retreat at all, staring at Guo Ling.
Only then did a smile appear on Guo Ling's face: "Welcome to join us, Pu Yue."
