Chapter 112 What a fate!
When Ye Nuan and Gu Hanchuan returned to their cubicles, it was more than forty minutes later.
He Jiaxu was diligently looking after their luggage, but he was also a little anxious, worried that the young girl might be scammed again.
Liu Lihua, who was in the upper bunk, was in a good mood and happily ate cookies, which made He Jiaxu look at her with increasing dissatisfaction.
But he couldn't say anything.
"how's it going?"
Ye Nuan was a little tired and simply nodded slightly.
Gu Hanchuan, who was following closely behind, smiled and said, "It's alright. He's been saved."
Actually, when the old man woke up, many people outside shouted out.
But He Jiaxu still wanted to hear them say it themselves.
After all, sometimes waking up doesn't mean that everything is really alright.
"are you OK?"
Ye Nuan nodded: "I'm just a little tired, thank you for your concern, Comrade He."
He Jiaxu's expression relaxed considerably: "There's nothing to thank me for! I can't really help you much."
Ye Nuan said gratefully, "You've already helped us so much by watching our luggage. Thank you so much!"
He Jiaxu scratched his head and chuckled twice.
"Let's rest for a while. Aren't we going back again tonight?"
"Ah."
Around 9 p.m., Ye Nuan went over again. After confirming that the old man was alright, she instructed Zhang Fendou not to sleep too soundly at night and to come and wake her if the old man felt unwell.
The old man slept soundly all night. He only got up once to go to the toilet, and Zhang Fendou helped him. When he woke up in the morning, he said that his chest felt a little tight. Zhang Fendou opened the window as Ye Nuan had instructed, and helped him sit up slowly. After resting for a while, he felt much better.
Ye Nuan checked the old man's pulse again in the morning and, after confirming that he was alright, instructed him not to eat anything cold or raw.
After this experience, the old man has truly learned his lesson. He nods and agrees to everything Ye Nuan says, appearing to be a particularly obedient old man.
At noon, He Jiaxu went to the dining car for lunch, while Liu Lihua sat on the lower bunk eating steamed buns.
Gu Hanchuan went to get food, and Ye Nuan, without any pretense, spoke directly: "You should have seen my abilities by now. I have a proper job, and my man is far more outstanding than your Wu Xingbang, so even now, are you still going to protect that Huang Sisi?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you, the first thing we'll do when we get back to the family compound is to report Huang Sisi to our superiors. You think you can get away with it just by refusing to provide evidence? In Anshi, if the military wants to investigate, they can find out everything. When they question you again, you might not be eligible to marry Wu Xingbang."
Ye Nuan was pleased to see Liu Lihua's expression change, and kindly reminded her, "So, you'd better cooperate with us and bring out the letter Huang Sisi gave you or anything else. That way, at least we can treat you as a witness, rather than someone the military needs to investigate."
Liu Lihua was truly frightened.
Moreover, she also knew that Gu Hanchuan's rank was higher than Wu Xingbang's, and Gu Hanchuan's uncle was the director of the Commerce Bureau. Who knew if he had other elders with even more powerful backgrounds?
Moreover, she heard that Gu Hanchuan came from Beijing. If he really had a powerful background, then she would have really messed with him.
Ye Nuan wasn't in a hurry; she just waited quietly.
Soon, Liu Lihua put down the steamed buns, then took out a slightly smaller green schoolbag from a bag on the upper bunk, and took out three letters from it.
"It's all here, see?"
Ye Nuan took it and quickly finished reading it.
The contents of the letter could not all be true, but some of them were true, such as the story of Wu Xingbang coming to the health center to find her.
When Ye Nuan saw that photo, she understood why Liu Lihua hated her so much.
The two are not very close in the photo, but you can clearly see that Wu Xingbang is smiling, and his expression seems very sincere and touched, plus he is reaching out his hand.
Although there was no physical contact, this single action was enough to spark the imagination.
Ye Nuan narrowed her eyes slightly, wondering when she had started talking to Wu Xingbang.
Ye Nuan quickly put the photos into the envelope, and then put all three letters into her bag, but actually stored them in her storage space.
"Congratulations on making the right choice. If any leaders contact you later, I hope you will stand up and testify."
Liu Lihua hesitated for a moment: "Didn't I already give you the letter? There's no need for me to show up again, is there?"
Perhaps because she had done something wrong, Liu Lihua was still very resistant to this kind of thing.
"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. All you need to do is explain the actual situation and the time and address when you replied to Huang Sisi."
Liu Lihua did not give a direct answer. In fact, she didn't need to think about it, because once she got to the army, whether or not she had to come forward to testify would be entirely out of her control.
When Gu Hanchuan returned with the food, Liu Lihua remained silent.
After lunch, Liu Lihua's older brother came over to sleep again. Liu Lihua sat on the lower bunk of He Jiaxu, while Gu Hanchuan and Ye Nuan stood together in the aisle outside.
"Nuan Nuan, I hope you can be mentally prepared."
"Ok?"
"This old man Zhang is no ordinary person, but I'm very curious, given his status, why didn't he bring any helpers with him when he went on this long trip?"
Ye Nuan blinked: "You mean, he's a high-ranking leader?"
Gu Hanchuan whispered a reminder: "In short, be careful when you speak in front of him in the future, and don't be too presumptuous. Didn't you notice that there are a few more people in our carriage since last night?"
Ye Nuan thought about it carefully and realized that there really were a few extra people.
"they are?"
"They must have received a last-minute notice and boarded at the stop yesterday evening."
Gu Hanchuan didn't explain it very clearly, but Ye Nuan understood that these people were there to protect Zhang Kangri.
"Yeah, okay, I got it."
Finally arriving at the station, Ye Nuan was carrying only a small bag and a shoulder bag; the rest of her luggage was in Gu Hanchuan's hands or on his shoulder.
Before getting off the train, Zhang Fendou came to find Ye Nuan. Besides expressing his gratitude, he insisted on giving Ye Nuan two hundred yuan.
Ye Nuan refused to accept the gift, but Zhang Fendou wouldn't leave. He repeatedly insisted that it was his grandfather's wish, a token of gratitude, and not a bribe!
Ye Nuan was not short of money, and she realized that if she did not accept the money, it might make Old Zhang think that she wanted him to owe her a big favor.
That would make me seem too scheming!
Fine, I'll accept it.
At the exit of the station, the person who was assigned to pick me up was none other than Wu Xingbang!
The people in the know exchanged sharp glances, while the unaware Brother Liu asked, "What a coincidence! You were in the same sleeper compartment when you arrived. What a coincidence!"
