Chapter 318 - 317: Reunion
Wei Zixiao saw that Gu Tingyu was genuinely resolved, so he didn’t say more. Instead, he smiled gracefully and said, "Actually, returning to Shangjing is good. My uncle has been transferred back to Shangjing now too. With my dad and him there, I believe I’ll be doing even better."
Hearing this, Gu Tingyu recalled the matter.
"Your uncle must have been promoted another level, right? Even in Shangjing now, others have to act according to his mood."
Talking about his uncle, Wei Zixiao’s face was full of pride.
"Yes, my uncle has been promoted another level. Given his current age, he will surely go further in the future."
Hearing Wei Zixiao’s words, Gu Tingyu nodded in agreement, but his expression soon turned serious, "Alright, since we finished the call, let’s go back and discuss tomorrow’s mission details thoroughly."
Speaking of tomorrow’s mission, Wei Zixiao felt his blood boil.
"Alright, let’s go back and discuss it thoroughly. This time we must root out that Mountain and River Building completely. Last time, they managed to escape; it’s really infuriating."
Gu Tingyu shared the same thought.
This name Mountain and River Building sounded grand, but their deeds were not so grand. Yet, to say those people were absolute villains wouldn’t be accurate either. Those people were both righteous and evil, capable of doing good deeds as well as bad ones.
But previously, Mountain and River Building had done several legitimate things, helping the stationed troops to better guard their homeland, which gave them some leverage.
Initially, they didn’t know who did those good deeds, and later found out it was Mountain and River Building, which was quite unexpected for them.
Yet even so, the wrongdoings of Mountain and River Building couldn’t be completely offset by good deeds. So their mission this time was to capture everyone from Mountain and River Building and decide their guilt based on the circumstances.
Gu Tingyu and Wei Zixiao cooperated seamlessly, with a group of brothers who had been through thick and thin together. Therefore, they devised a detailed plan this time, determined to capture those from the Mountain and River Building.
However, when the mission actually began, Gu Tingyu realized he had underestimated Mountain and River Building.
He originally thought Mountain and River Building was a simple organization, but upon dealing with them directly, he realized he was wrong. The decision-makers of Mountain and River Building were not easy people to deal with.
"Damn, those people are really too cunning."
Wei Zixiao couldn’t help but pound the grass beside him, looking very unwilling, "I heard that today the leader of Mountain and River Building came too, yet we couldn’t even find their shadow. If we can’t complete this mission successfully, wouldn’t it ruin our team’s reputation?"
Gu Tingyu’s expression was also a bit unpleasant.
"Alright, let’s keep moving forward. Even if a few of them escaped this time, they still left some traces. We’ll just follow them."
"Alright."
Wei Zixiao adjusted his expression, full of determination in his eyes.
Meanwhile, Yiyi had recovered from her injury and finally returned to school for classes.
"Yiyi, over here."
As soon as Yiyi walked into the classroom, Tao Cuizhu waved at her.
Seeing this, Yiyi walked over and sat next to Tao Cuizhu, who was sitting with Cao Panpan and Wei Xiwen.
Seeing this, Yiyi couldn’t help but ask, "Hasn’t An Xueqing and Feng Yudan returned to school yet?"
Talking about these two, Tao Cuizhu couldn’t help but shake her head, "Don’t mention it. During the time you were recovering, An Xueqing and Feng Yudan also took leaves of absence. I heard they’re both filming."
Cao Panpan also shook her head on the side.
"Who knows what those two are thinking, oh well... let’s not mind them, they won’t listen to us anyway."
Back then, An Xueqing deliberately said certain things to influence Feng Yudan for a role, making them feel she was a bit unscrupulous, so they all distanced themselves from her. But alas, she didn’t return at all, their distance meant nothing to her.
Later on, Feng Yudan also chose to continue filming, and although they advised her a bit, she didn’t listen, so they had nothing more to say.
Yiyi felt the same, so she directly opened her textbook, planning to focus on her lessons. She had missed a lot of coursework during this time. Although she did some self-study at home, it was still different from a teacher’s lecture, so she paid extra attention in class.
However, by Friday, Yiyi was still the first to pack her bag quickly and neatly, getting ready to go home.
Thinking about going home, Yiyi’s face was full of smiles. Knowing that Gu Tingyu would be back tomorrow, and they hadn’t seen each other for a while, she didn’t know how long he could stay this time.
Seeing the smile on Yiyi’s face, Tao Cuizhu couldn’t help but tease, "You look so happy, are you going home to see your boyfriend?"
Yiyi admitted frankly.
"Yes, I’m going to see my boyfriend."
Then she also remembered the engagement, originally not planning to invite people from school, since she was still studying and didn’t intend to let classmates know, but now she had somewhat changed her mind. Given the good character of Tao Cuizhu and the others, even if they knew about the engagement, they shouldn’t think much of it.
"Cui Zhu, Panpan, Xiwen, I’ll be getting engaged soon, so come over for a meal when it happens."
"Wh... what..."
Cao Panpan was the first to react, with a face full of surprise she pointed at Yiyi and said, "You’re getting engaged so quickly?"
Tao Cuizhu also reacted at this point.
"Yeah, Yiyi, we’re still in college. Why not wait until after graduation?" In her view, studying should be the top priority, putting off other matters.
But Wei Xiwen didn’t see anything wrong with it.
"Yiyi and her boyfriend are mutually in love, so engagement was just a matter of time, just happened a bit earlier. You two shouldn’t be so surprised." Then she smiled and looked at Yiyi, "What day is it exactly? We’ll definitely be there on time."
After Yiyi shared the engagement date, she went back home happily.
Upon reaching home, she saw that Gu Tingyu was already there, "Gu Tingyu, when did you come back?"
Seeing the young girl run in happily, Gu Tingyu’s previously stern face softened gradually.
"I just arrived not long ago."
At this point, Ding Yuejun brought out a plate of fruit, delighted to see her daughter come back, "Yiyi, Tingyu has been here for a while, quickly go keep him company." Saying so, she turned back into the kitchen.
Although Yiyi had a lot to say initially, seeing him in person, she suddenly didn’t know what to say. However, she did remember the meal invitation from Fei Erya, so she recounted the details to Gu Tingyu.
