After transmigrating, I became a stepmother.

The thought that if Gu Liunian hadn't noticed the strangeness of the situation today, everyone felt like they had escaped a disaster!

It seems that when we travel in the future, we should pay more attention to how Gu Liunian does things. After all, he has been in business for many years and his insight is something that people like us who only study hard can't compare to!

This is their shared feeling. As for whether they are simply blind, didn't they see that even experienced bodyguards couldn't see it? So, it's definitely not their problem!

In fact, at this moment, it wasn't just them who admired Gu Liunian; even the seemingly imposing bodyguards on the sidelines were looking at Gu Liunian differently.

Originally, they thought this employer was no different from other scholars. In fact, when Gu Liunian told them about his suspicions, they thought this employer was too scheming and not worth associating with!

But reality slapped them in the face!

The seemingly weak and helpless girl turned out to be a venomous snake in human skin, making their previously prized experience in the martial world utterly fragile. The head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) was right; caution was always necessary, and they couldn't let their guard down until the mission was complete!

Their gazes towards Gu Liunian were filled with complex emotions—admiration, shame, and gratitude! Had it not been for the client's meticulousness, this escort mission would likely have tarnished their agency's reputation!

Gu Liunian didn't seem to care much about their gazes. To be honest, this whole incident wasn't entirely their fault.

After all, no one would have expected to encounter such a group of people on the road. Although they felt compassion at the time, they did not act rashly. In the end, it was he who ordered the rescue.

Moreover, he could tell that this girl, Lian'er, was indeed not directly involved in any deaths; it was her fellow villagers who did it. Because it was difficult to see any murderous aura in her; she even retained a trace of simplicity! No wonder they were mistaken!

"In your opinion, Zishao, how should we deal with these people?" Mr. Du wanted to know how his disciple would handle this matter.

The others also turned their attention to Gu Liunian, and now they all seemed to have a sense of Gu Liunian as their leader.

“Taking them on the road would waste time. Why not leave them here and wait until we enter the city, find the government office, state our identities, explain the situation, and then they can send someone to handle it!” Gu Liunian had obviously thought about this issue and immediately expressed his idea.

Mr. Du nodded slightly: "Let's do as Zishao says!"

He was right to judge a person. He is upright, decisive, and self-disciplined. Such a person will be a blessing to the people when he becomes an official!

Having successfully entered the county town, Gu Liunian and his group were commended by the county magistrate for their actions. They were naturally aware of what these people had done, but unfortunately, they were particularly cunning and did not reside in the town. Those who had seen them all died tragically, which allowed them to remain rampant to this day.

This has naturally resolved a worry for the county magistrate!

The county magistrate even had the idea of ​​marrying his beloved daughter to Gu Liunian. When he learned that Gu Liunian was already married and had children, he felt a pang of regret!

Gu Liunian's classmates were eager to try, subtly showing off their talents, but the magistrate refused to mention it again, saying that everyone would have a bright future, leaving them with no choice but to give up!

Using the excuse of a tight schedule, Gu Liunian and his group only rested briefly before continuing their journey.
