Our Lady of Salvation

Zhuang Linfei changed into a waist-pinch white shirt and a pair of cropped jeans, showing off her graceful figure properly.The long black hair is combed into a ponytail and tied behind the head, with elegant and beautiful slanted bangs on the forehead.She strapped on her satchel, slipped on her wedge sandals, and was ready to go.

Gu Yi pursed his lips and stood by the car door, waiting for her to get out of the car.Zhuang Linfei knew from her appearance that she was worried about her.So he stepped forward to hold her hand tenderly, and called softly:

"Yi."

Gu Yi raised his hand to touch her cheek, lowered his head against her forehead, and said softly:

"Be careful in everything, we will follow you quietly, don't be afraid."

Zhuang Linfei plucked her exquisite earlobes, on which were two sparkling amethyst studs.Then ask:

"Is this really okay? Can you see and hear it?"

"Of course, don't worry." Gu Yi smiled and smoothed her hair.

Beckoning to help Zhuang Linfei hail a taxi, watching her sit in the back seat, Gu Yi took the lead in paying in advance, and then closed the car door.Zhuang Linfei turned around and looked at her from the rear window. Seeing her tall and handsome figure standing there, silently watching the direction of her car's departure, Zhuang Linfei's heart inexplicably settled down a lot. nervous.

Tonight, Sun Jin asked her to have dinner at a high-end Japanese restaurant near the magazine office. So far, Zhuang Linfei had no idea what the meal was for and what Sun Jin wanted to talk to her about.All she knew was that there was probably a lot of risk involved in this meal, and whether she went to the banquet alone, whether she would risk her life to trap the wolf or go to the tiger's mouth is still unknown.

Unknown, so nervous, worried.

Zhuang Linfei sat in the back seat, silently repeating some precautions Gu Yi told her.The pair of amethyst earrings she wore on her earlobes were a miniature monitoring and listening device independently developed by Luo Yan. Through this device, they could see what Zhuang Linfei saw and hear what Zhuang Linfei heard .Zhuang Linfei's first priority at the banquet tonight is to act stupid. No matter what the other party asks her, she must never disclose her relationship with Gu Yi and others, nor can she say anything about God's lunatic.Unless the other party reveals their identity, they can conduct transactions openly and honestly.Of course, Zhuang Linfei could hear Gu Yi's voice, and Gu Yi would tell her what to say and what not to say, so she didn't need to worry that much.

All in all, the main purpose of their trip was to find out who this Sun Jin was and which camp he came from.

The reason why Zhuang Linfei dressed up specially today is because this high-end restaurant does not allow people with sloppy clothes to enter.Although Zhuang Linfei's usual attire could not be said to be sloppy, it was actually a bit shabby. In addition, she had been traveling around these days and hadn't taken care of herself much. She was dusty and haggard.In this meeting, they cannot lose momentum at the beginning.Zhuang Linfei had been to this high-end Japanese restaurant once, and it was at a certain celebration banquet, and it was also a guest invited by Sun Jin.This store is run by authentic Japanese, the food is exquisite and delicious, and it is very popular.And it occupies a good location, the store is wide, and the decoration is simple and gorgeous, full of Japanese style. It is divided into upper, middle and lower floors, and each floor has more than 300 square meters.

When Zhuang Linfei stood at the door of the shop and opened the curtain to walk in, there were waitresses dressed in exquisite waiter kimonos came to welcome the customers.First say welcome in imperial language, then in Japanese, and then ask who Zhuang Linfei is.

Zhuang Linfei reported Sun Jin's name, and the waitress led Zhuang Linfei into the store.Go up to the second floor, pass through the aisle formed by the sliding door of the box, and finally come to the innermost box.The name of the box was "桜の华". Zhuang Linfei stood at the door and paused for a moment before nodding to the waitress.The waitress bowed and opened the sliding paper door, Zhuang Linfei took off her wedge sandals and walked onto the tatami mat barefoot.

Sun Jin was sitting cross-legged on the side of the low rectangular table, his fat and bulky body took up almost an area of ​​tatami.Smiling like a Maitreya Buddha, she watched Zhuang Linfei walk in.

"Editor-in-chief." Zhuang Linfei was the first to smile and greet her.

"Oh, Xiao Zhuang is here, sit down quickly." Sun Jin pointed to the seat opposite him with a smile on his face.

Zhuang Linfei bowed and knelt down on the cushion, put the satchel by her hand, and heard Sun Jin say with a smile:

"Oh, Xiao Zhuang, it seems that I have become more beautiful after seeing you for a few days."

Zhuang Linfei blushed and acted shyly, and said:

"Thank you editor-in-chief for the compliment." In fact, she rolled her eyes in her heart at the moment, thinking: Old fox, why haven't you ever praised me for being beautiful before.

"What has Xiaozhuang been doing for the past few days? Why is there no one around?" Sun Jinla began to ask homely.

"Oh, there's something wrong with my hometown. I went back to my hometown." Zhuang Linfei began to lie.

"Really? Little Dudu, did you go with him?"

"Yes, Dudu is in his hometown now."

When Zhuang Linfei joined the magazine, she didn't mention her family situation to anyone, including Sun Jin. Sun Jin only knew that she had a daughter, but nothing else.In Zhuang Linfei's file, the column of ancestral home was filled in a small county in Sichuan Province.It was the hometown of her adoptive father Zhuang Yunsheng, so she was not afraid that this lie would be exposed.However, Sun Jinming didn't know about Zhuang Linfei's family situation on the surface, but he didn't know how much he found out secretly.It's just that now both of them are promoting Tai Chi, going around in circles, no one is willing to point it out first.

"Oh, what's the matter, is it serious?" Sun Jin asked worriedly.

Zhuang Linfei shook her head and said:

"It's not a big deal, it's just that grandma is sick, and I'm going back to take care of grandma."

"Then you don't have to quit your job."

"Grandma is getting old, so someone has to take care of her. I'm the only junior in the family, and Dudu is still young. Grandma has never left her hometown in her life. I can't bring her to the imperial capital. Besides, I'm a woman, and living in the imperial capital is difficult." It's not going well, so I want to go back to my hometown to find a job, and take care of grandma and Dudu at the same time, so I can take care of it."

"Oh... this..." Sun Jin was about to say something, when suddenly the sliding door opened, and the waitress came in with a tea tray and served tea and refreshments for Sun Jin and Zhuang Linfei.Then ask if it's ready to serve.Sun Jin nodded, and the waitress left the private room.

Sun Jin picked up his teacup to drink tea, looking like he was thinking about how to continue the conversation.Zhuang Linfei stared at the chestnut yokan in front of her as if in a daze, but she was actually listening to Gu Yi talking to her.

"He's in a hurry, he won't be able to hold on any longer, so he has to tell the truth. Don't talk too hard, just hang him up." Gu Yi's voice gently entered Zhuang Linfei's auditory nerves through the earrings among.

Sure enough, not long after, Sun Jin suddenly said:

"Xiao Zhuang, I still remember your father's name is Zhuang Yunsheng."

Zhuang Linfei was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why he suddenly mentioned her deceased adoptive father at this moment.

"Well, yes. Why does the editor ask that?"

"Xiao Zhuang, I think you should be very clear. I called you here today not just to ask why you resigned. In fact, I have something to tell you. This matter has something to do with your father, I don't know if you want to hear it or not."

"My father? Do you know my father?"

"Oh... more than just acquaintance, your father was my chemistry teacher in high school." Sun Jin put the teacup back on the table and made a crisp "click".

The voice exploded in Zhuang Linfei's mind like thunder, and her mind was buzzing for a moment. She opened her eyes wide and stared at Sun Jin's plump cheek in front of her, so unbelievable that she couldn't breathe.

"What chemistry teacher? What are you talking about?" Zhuang Linfei asked with a trembling voice.

"Your father, no, is your adoptive father. There is a big age gap with you. He is 45 years older than you. He used to be a biochemical engineer at the Imperial Pharmaceutical Research Institute. And he is 19 years older than me. In high school, he happened to be the chemistry teacher of our grade. He was also the leader of the chemistry teaching group and the grade director at that time. He graduated from the Department of Bioengineering of Imperial National University with a Ph.D. He is a top student. He has worked in our school for about five years After that, I took part in the career assessment and entered the Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences."

When Sun Jin said these words, Zhuang Linfei's mind was in a mess, and she couldn't listen to a single word.But in the end, Gu Yi's voice that came from her ears brought her back to reality:

"Linfei, calm down, you have to calm down. Ask him which middle school he went to."

Zhuang Linfei picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip of tea. With the movement of swallowing, she temporarily swallowed her doubts back into her stomach. Then she calmed down and asked calmly:

"Editor, may I ask which middle school it is?"

"It's the No. [-] Middle School of the Imperial Capital." Sun Jin seemed to have expected her to ask this question, and replied quickly and decisively.

"Why did you mention my father? What exactly do you want to tell me?" Zhuang Linfei obeyed Gu Yi's arrangement and decided to hit him directly and ask the truth.

"I want to tell you what you want to know the most. But before that, you have to promise me one thing."

"what's up?"

"Don't go back to your hometown again, don't go to see your grandma again. Stay in the imperial capital and stay with us, and your wish will come true."

What?What does this mean?It seemed that Sun Jin was following Zhuang Linfei's lie in making the request, but Zhuang Linfei knew in her heart that she had no grandmother at all, and no hometown.She knew better that Sun Jin knew this too.So what exactly does this sentence mean?

"Editor-in-Chief, please speak clearly." She said with a sullen face.

But at this moment, Sun Jin suddenly stopped talking, he seemed to be worried about something, he didn't speak for a while, just looked around randomly.Zhuang Linfei looked at him suspiciously, then urged:

"Editor-in-chief!"

"Xiao Zhuang, let's stop here today for our conversation. I have to leave first, and I will make another appointment." Sun Jin suddenly retreated at this moment.

"Eh?" Zhuang Linfei was stunned. Why did Sun Jin suddenly want to run away in the middle of what he said?

Just as Sun Jin writhed his fat body and struggled to stand up, the paper sliding door opened again, and the waitress came in, followed by a group of waitresses, holding trays in their hands, and began to serve dishes.Sun Jin suddenly stopped moving, staring at the food in front of him, as if deeply attracted by the food.Zhuang Linfei froze in place in bewilderment, looking at Sun Jin's strange behavior, her heart full of question marks.

At this time, a waitress accidentally knocked over a bowl of soup, and the soup spilled on Zhuang Linfei, Zhuang Linfei stood up abruptly.The waitress quickly apologized, and then frantically helped Zhuang Linfei wipe off the soup on her clothes.Zhuang Linfei waved her hand to say no, and then said to Sun Jin:

"Editor-in-chief, excuse me, I'm going to the bathroom."

Sun Jin's eyes suddenly moved away from the food, staring fixedly at Zhuang Linfei.Zhuang Linfei was so stared at him that she couldn't take a step forward for a while.But at this moment a waitress suddenly said:

"Come with me, miss, I'll take you to the bathroom."

"Oh, yes." Zhuang Linfei came back to her senses, and followed the waitress out of the private room.

Walking in the corridor full of Yamato style, Zhuang Linfei was still replaying the last time Sun Jin looked at her in her mind.Those eyes seemed to be filled with despair...
