Era: The naive beauty charmed the villain!

The Liu family did not receive any further news until after the first month of the lunar calendar.

I heard that they were sentenced to labor reform, and they weren't even given a chance to come back and pack their belongings. The whole family was sent directly to a farm in a remote area.

According to well-informed sources, Liu Bao'er was not among the Liu family members sent to labor camps.

As for Liu Bao'er's whereabouts, everyone kept quiet about it, and even the most gossipy villagers dared not ask any questions.

Gao Jingxuan was sent back shortly after the Liu family was sent to the farm.

When Gao Jingxuan was brought back, he was covered in dirt, emaciated, and looked completely different from his former image as a refined and gentle young man.

When the educated youth at the settlement saw the person being sent back, they were startled, thinking it was some new educated youth who had suffered a great hardship, and none of them recognized Gao Jingxuan.

They were all shocked when they found out it was Gao Jingxuan.

On the one hand, they were surprised by the extent of Gao Jingxuan's change; on the other hand, they were also surprised that Gao Jingxuan was able to come back.

Since learning about the Liu family's fate, everyone has implicitly agreed that Gao Jingxuan will definitely not be coming back.

Unexpectedly, Gao Jingxuan's image is now quite pitiful, yet he has reappeared at the educated youth settlement.

Gao Jingxuan was also secretly relieved that it was a close call.

He really got lucky this time.

After being taken away, Gao Jingxuan cooperated well, racking his brains to pin all the suspicious points on Liu Bao'er and trying every means to get rid of all suspicion.

Even so, if someone is implicated as a spy, even if they can clear their name, they will still be sent to a labor camp.

From then on, they would live under the high pressure and surveillance of those above, with no future.

Gao Jingxuan was almost in despair when, unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and he actually encountered someone his uncle had helped before.

With the help of that person and Gao Jingxuan's own efforts, he was finally released after the matter was settled.

Gao Jingxuan stood in the courtyard of the educated youth settlement, silently looked up at the sky, and took a deep breath.

He had never realized that the air of freedom could smell so good.

Ignoring the awkwardly standing youths, he went back to his original room on his own.

He needs to get a good night's sleep and recharge his energy so that tomorrow will be a brand new day.

.

The news of Gao Jingxuan's return spread like wildfire.

The person was brought back in the afternoon, and before it even got dark, the news had spread throughout the entire brigade.

Everyone was very curious and wanted to go to the educated youth settlement to talk to Gao Jingxuan in person, find out some information, and satisfy their curiosity.

But after much pushing and shoving, no one dared to go.

The fear is that this isn't the end of the matter; Gao Jingxuan has only been released temporarily and will be arrested again later.

If that time comes, will those who are eager to get in touch with Gao Jingxuan also be taken away by the higher-ups?

Oh my, this is terrifying! The villagers shudder just thinking about it.

We all have families and households. Let us be curious if we want to, but it's not worth risking our lives to satisfy our curiosity.

Although Gao Jingxuan had a good reputation in the village and got along well with the villagers, they should try to keep their distance from him in the future.

After all, even Liu Bao'er, who had lived in the village for generations and whom they had watched grow up, turned out to be a spy.

Since Gao Jingxuan came to the village, he has completely changed the aloof attitude of the educated youth and has been so warm and easy-going in his interactions with the villagers.

Whether there are any ulterior motives is hard to say.
