Gu Zi explained, “It’s not certain yet, but it shouldn’t be long. Mother, don’t worry, Su Shen has everything under control.”

An Yun felt relieved. “That’s good to hear,” she said. “There’s sothing else I didn’t get a chance to tell you earlier. The Gu family ca looking for us. They knew you had moved into the city and wanted your address. I told them I didn’t know. After a bit of back-and-forth, they left in a huff. But I heard sothing disturbing.

“They claid that Lin Miao said you stole her job. They said the writing job you have now should have been hers. It’s utter nonsense. The Gu family hasn’t bothered you about this, have they?”

An Yun’s tone beca indignant. She knew that Gu Zi hadn’t stolen anything from Lin Miao. Lin Miao was in jail, how could she possibly have had this job opportunity?

Gu Zi listened, her eyes narrowing slightly as a thoughtful and puzzled look graced her face. “Lin Miao said I stole her job? She’s certain of this?”

Logically speaking, she had earned her place on the stage at the tea ceremony through her own rit. From Lin Miao’s perspective, at most, she would be angry that she had stolen her chance to shine, had caught the attention of Boss Huo, and then, through Guan Xin, had secured this job.

But this job was sothing she had obtained later. It wasn’t sothing she had imdiately after the tea ceremony. Lin Miao, after the tea ceremony, shouldn’t have known about this job. Yet, Lin Miao claid that Gu Zi had stolen it from her, implying that the job should have been hers.

In fact, if Gu Zi hadn’t crossed over, according to the original plot of the book, the job would indeed have been Lin Miao’s. But the reality was, she had crossed over. The story wasn’t developing according to the original plot. But how could she know about the original plot of the book? It was strange. Gu Zi really hoped she was just being overly suspicious…

At three in the afternoon, the train Su Shen was on had arrived at the transfer station. He needed to switch to another train to continue his journey to his destination. No sooner had he stepped onto the train, military luggage in hand, than Gong Zhan and Hu Jie, both dressed in military uniforms, approached him.

They were both tall and handso, their military attire making them stand out even more than Su Shen. Each was followed by a bodyguard, carrying their luggage, which drew the attention of passersby. Both were accustod to admiration, and they treated the attention as if it were nothing out of the ordinary, continuing on their way nonchalantly.

Although neither of them voiced it, they were both proud of the attention they were receiving. However, their mutual glances held a hint of shared weariness. Gong Zhan, shifting his gaze away, was the first to speak, “Deputy Commander Hu, unfortunately, we are not in the sa carriage.”

This ti, he had been recomnded by his superiors and specially invited by the Capital Military District to serve as the commander of a secret combat exercise. His father had repeatedly reminded him to be well-prepared and to perform well. If he could catch the eye of the capital’s officials, his career could take off.

His military district, his father, and his father’s subordinates were all paying close attention to his trip to the capital. He had also told himself that he must make a na for himself in the capital and command a successful combat exercise. He was determined to completely overshadow Gu Zi’s pig-killing husband. This ti, nothing would distract him.

However, to his dismay, when his mother, Mrs. Chen, learned of this, she inquired about it. She found out that Deputy Commander Hu was also going, and even found out his departure date. Mrs. Chen had repeatedly urged him to leave on the sa day and to buy a ticket for the sa carriage as Hu Jie, the closer the seats, the better. He pretended to agree, buying a ticket for the sa day, but deliberately not for the sa carriage.

Hu Jie, of course, didn’t care whether she was in the sa carriage as Gong Zhan. Hearing what Gong Zhan had said, she moved forward with her bodyguard, Xiao Zhao. Gong Zhan also lowered his hat brim and entered the carriage, followed by his bodyguard, carrying two bags of gifts.

After they found their seats, the bodyguard quickly stowed the luggage and respectfully said to Gong Zhan, “Deputy Commander, please have a seat.”

Gong Zhan sat down silently, coughed once, and said to the bodyguard, “We’re away from ho, there’s no need to be so ostentatious.”

Having said that, he looked up, intending to check the clock at the front of the carriage. However, his gaze froze as it moved. Gong Zhan’s face darkened when he saw the man sitting directly opposite him. What was Su Shen doing here?!
