Zhou Yichen didn't mention Chu Xin, but only said that he was puzzled by Gu Xuan's mobilization of troops to frame a military cadre in Jinshi, and there were too many doubts.

After hearing this, Mr. Zhou's majestic face became even more serious.

"You have to know that if we use our own people to investigate, if Old Man Gu finds out, it's fine if there's a problem, but if there's no problem, our two families will become enemies.

Ever since Gu Beizhan fell into a coma, the old man has been very irritable!"

Zhou Yichen knew all this, but he felt that what Chu Xin said made sense. There was no way that Gu Xuan would do such a ruthless thing out of hatred for no reason.

"I understand what Grandpa said, but Gu Xuan's actions are really suspicious.

He has just been promoted to the position of Director of the Medical Department, which is a very high position and he cannot afford to make any mistakes."

Mr. Zhou also became serious.

"Gu Xuan is two years older than you. His position as the Minister of Medical Affairs is somewhat exaggerated. To be more precise, it should have been his father who was promoted.

It's a pity that fate has played such a trick on me that my son got to this position before me."

Zhou Yichen: "That's why we should treat it more carefully!"

Seeing that his grandson was so insistent, Mr. Zhou had no choice but to agree. The ability of the eldest grandson is particularly important for the prosperity of a family!

This kind of skill can only be developed by him personally acting as a surgeon.

"I'll make the arrangements. I hope we're overthinking it."

Zhou Yichen nodded, "Okay, thank you grandpa!"

"By the way, how did you get the gun improvement blueprints you submitted last time?

This is a very good job. Not only does it benefit the country, it also provides the Zhou family with an extra layer of security during this great turmoil."

Old Master Zhou felt happy whenever he thought about this, especially because it gave a slap in the face to those who tried to get close to the Russians.

Zhou Yichen's eyebrows softened slightly, but he didn't tell the truth.

Before Chu Xin nodded, no one and nothing could disturb her.

"Drawn by someone I just met."

It was brief and vague, so Mr. Zhou tactfully didn't ask any further questions.

…………

The agreed time to set off was six o'clock in the evening. Chu Yunting came out first to find Chu Xin. The two of them agreed to have dinner and then leave, and to call Zhou Yichen by the way.

Chu Yunting generously invited Chu Xin to eat roast duck at Quanjude.

"Since we're in Kyoto, Xiao Chu, you have to have some roast duck, otherwise it would seem like I'm not hospitable enough!"

Chu Xin nodded, indicating that she had no objection. If someone paid for a meal, only a fool would not eat.

It's also a good idea to test what the person following behind is doing.

The two were chatting and waiting for Zhou Yichen when a female voice came.

"Chu Yunting?"

Chu Xin looked back and saw a very dignified-looking female comrade standing at the door of their box.

I was wondering, this female comrade doesn't look like a bad person, so why was she following them all the way?

Chu Yunting was stunned. He didn't expect it to be someone he knew. He quickly stood up and said, "It's Sister Hongying. What a coincidence! You're here for dinner too?"

Wei Hongying nodded, feeling a little depressed.

She had originally begged her mother to introduce her to Zhou Yichen, and Aunt Zhou had agreed to a blind date tomorrow, but suddenly she called and said that Zhou Yichen had something important to attend to and the date was off.

I didn't expect to see Chu Yunting when I came out to relax. He and Zhou Yichen have always been inseparable.

So I followed it all the way here.

Chu Yunting had no idea what was going on here. He and Wei Hongying were quite familiar with each other, and seeing that someone had come to say hello, it would be bad to leave them there alone.

After obtaining Chu Xin's consent, he said politely:

"Sister Hongying is alone? Do you want to eat together?"

Wei Hongying nodded and looked at Chu Xin after entering the box. She was indeed very beautiful.

"Yun Ting, who is this?"

Chu Xin didn't wait for Chu Yunting to introduce himself and spoke first, "I'm his colleague, my last name is Chu."

Wei Hongying was startled. She introduced herself first, then turned to ask Chu Yunting,

"Also surnamed Chu, your relative?"

Chu Yunting laughed, "Yeah, everyone thought we were relatives, but no, it's just a coincidence!"

Wei Hongying nodded and stopped caring about it. Her mind was not on this at all.

"Um, you weren't with Zhou Yichen?"

Because she mentioned her lover, her face turned a little red and her eyes were a little shy and she didn't dare to look Chu Yunting in the eye.

Chu Xin understood that the other person was chasing after Zhou Yichen to ask about something!

This girl seems to have good conditions and is also good-looking, how could she be so blind as to like someone like Zhou Yichen?!

"He'll be here in a moment."

Chu Yunting didn't think about anything else at all. They all knew each other since childhood. In his eyes, it was just pure concern.

"Sister Hongying, please sit down first!"

Wei Hongying was overjoyed when she heard this, and her eyes were filled with unconcealable excitement.

"Really? That's great!

Didn’t you just come back yesterday? Did you have a mission? Aunt Zhou said she was very busy and had something important to do, so it’s not…not possible to see you.”

She finally managed to muster up the nerve to talk to Zhou Yichen.

Even if he didn't agree at that time, as long as I could break through this layer of window paper, I could go to him with a legitimate reason. If I tried a few more times, it would eventually work, right?

Don’t they say good things come to those who wait?

Chu Yunting had a different idea from hers, and his tone became serious.

"Sister Hongying, we have rules. It's better for you not to ask."

Wei Hongying's face turned pale, and she quickly waved her hands to explain, "I, I didn't mean to ask, I was just asking casually."

Seeing how scared she was, Chu Yunting didn't say anything else and just told her to be more careful in the future.

Wei Hongying nodded repeatedly, thinking to herself that her father was just like that. When he was young, he rarely came home all year round, and his family members couldn't even ask about him.

After she marries Yi Chen, she'll see if the Zhou family can use their connections to get him transferred to another department. She doesn't want to live a life of being apart most of the time.

Chu Xin drank some tea to moisten her throat. Her mouth was dry from eating snacks. Why didn’t Zhou Yichen come yet? Eating melons was better than eating these things!

As soon as the thought came to mind, Zhou Yichen's tall figure entered the box.

Chu Xin prepared to watch the show in silence.

Zhou Yichen was stunned when he saw Wei Hongying sitting there, then he looked at Chu Yunting.

"who is she?"

"puff!"

Chu Xin quickly looked for something to wipe the water stains on the table.

"Sorry, cough cough, I drank too fast and choked."

Chu Yunting looked at Wei Hongying, whose face was flushed, with embarrassment, and grinned with a forced smile, Zhou Yichen, you really are my living ancestor!

"Well, you don't remember? Wei Hongying from our old compound. It's only been a short time since we last saw her, and you've already forgotten her?"

Zhou Yichen...

Of course he knew who it was; she was the blind date his mother was talking about.

It's impossible for me to respond to her, so it's better not to let her have unrealistic ideas.

"Not very familiar."

He really wasn't familiar with her. He had only played with boys before and had very little contact with girls.

I can remember Wei Hongying because she always asks me questions.

Since joining the army, he has rarely returned home, not to mention that his family no longer lives in the compound, so he is even more unfamiliar with these people.

Wei Hongying didn't expect that the person she loved so much didn't even remember her. What's the difference between this and torture to death?

What's more, there were other female comrades witnessing all this, and she looked grim and just wanted to hide away.

"I'm leaving first!!"

Chu Yunting smiled and tried to smooth things over. "Don't be angry, Sister Hongying. He just hasn't been to the compound for a long time, so we've become estranged. We'll get to know each other better the more we see each other."

Then he sent the person out.

When he came back, he looked puzzled, "What happened to Sister Hongying? Why are you so angry with her?"

Zhou Yichen glanced at Chu Xin, who was full of gossip, and felt a little depressed.

"Pack the food and eat it on the way. Gu Xuan is awake!"
