Chapter 226: Gu, the Academic God, Has Returned

Yan Fei put the cigarette in his mouth, with a hint of roguishness not present during work or before.

“Interrogate those two men overnight, and stake out the train and bus stations. Make sure to apprehend Teacher Lu’s Son-in-Law.”

He narrowed his eyes, “It’s best to find out who betrayed us. I will definitely make him taste the flavor of revenge.”

Huo Kai had always known that Yan Fei’s nature wasn’t as upright and gentle as he appeared. He was not a pushover.

“I understand. I’ll arrange it,” he said, playing with the matchbox.

Yan Fei thought for a moment and asked, “Did anyone you caught have a hole smashed in their head?”

Huo Kai shook his head, “No.”

Yan Fei frowned, “Song Chu rushed out and knocked the man unconscious with one punch before. I’m not sure if he saw Song Chu’s face. Arrange a few more people to secretly protect her.”

He didn’t want Song Chu to be dragged into this matter. Those enemy agents and spies were capable of any kind of madness, and he was afraid they would retaliate against her.

Naturally, Huo Kai didn’t want anything to happen to Song Chu either. “No problem.”

The two talked for a while longer, and Huo Kai arranged for someone to look after Yan Fei before leaving.

The next day, Song Chu went to find Sheng Qingyang to ask for leave for Yan Fei.

Sheng Qingyang was naturally surprised and curious why Song Chu was the one asking for leave, so he inquired.

Song Chu didn’t hide anything and told him about how she had unintentionally saved Yan Fei yesterday.

Sheng Qingyang frowned. “From the looks of it, that guy’s identity isn’t simple. I thought he was just here for an easy job and some connections.”

No wonder he gave up being a perfectly good Special Forces King, retired from the army, and came to their small county town for an easy job. It turned out he was here on a mission.

“Don’t get involved in his affairs. Be careful when you go out recently,” he thought for a moment and warned Song Chu.

Inwardly, he cursed Yan Fei, that bastard. Why did he have to drag Song Chu into this? How dangerous!

Song Chu smiled, “Mm, I will.”

In the following days, Song Chu ran back and forth between the County Economic Office and the Food Processing Factory, and didn’t encounter any danger.

However, she clearly felt that someone was following her and guessed that they were the people sent by Huo Kai and Yan Fei to protect her, so she didn’t pay them any mind.

That day, when she hit the man with the rock, she aimed for a specific spot that would cause dizziness and blurred vision, so she was certain he hadn’t seen her face clearly.

She had also tied the bicycle to the back of the jeep and brought it back, leaving no clues behind.

The enemy agents and spies shouldn’t find her.

During this time, her father came to the county town, and she took him to the Furniture Factory to report for duty.

And she rented a large courtyard with several rooms on a street between the Clothing Factory and the Furniture Factory, and arranged for her parents to live there.

Ten days passed in a flash, and Yan Fei’s leg recovered enough for him to return to work.

At work, he still maintained a certain distance from Song Chu, like normal colleagues.

In private, his attitude was much friendlier, but he didn’t overstep, maintaining a friendly distance, so that Song Chu didn’t suspect his intentions.

The two of them got along quite well. Yan Fei found that no matter what topic he brought up, Song Chu could always keep up with the conversation, which pleasantly surprised him.

She was indeed worthy of being the woman he had his eye on; she was just that outstanding.

That day after work, almost everyone in the office had left. Song Chu was delayed while processing a document, and Song Ping had been sent out on an errand, so she was the last to leave.

Just as she closed the office door, Yan Fei happened to walk out of the office next door.

“Chu Chu, you’re just getting off work too?” he asked, smiling at her.

Recently, he, Huo Kai, and Song Chu had eaten dinner together a few times in private, so he deliberately started calling her that, following Huo Kai’s lead.

Song Chu locked the door and smiled. “Yes, I just finished the work I had on hand. Why are you just getting off work too?”

Yan Fei walked up to her. “The Machinery Factory submitted a new project, and I just finished handling it.”

◈◈◈

Song Chu asked with a smile, “What’s the new project about?”

Yan Fei replied, “It’s the Vacuum Packaging Machine project. The ones we produced earlier have been successfully tested, and the results are very good. I realized this is a great business opportunity, so I suggested that the Machinery Factory prepare for mass production and then promote it to the provincial capital and other provinces.”

Song Chu nodded, “This project is indeed very good, and it can be greatly developed.”

She also hoped to use this opportunity to take domestic vacuum packaging technology to a new level.

Although Yan Fei was formerly a special forces soldier and currently had a hidden identity as a National Security agent, he was a multi-talented individual. He had great ideas and capabilities in economic development and project management.

Yan Fei smiled and invited her, “How about we have dinner together and discuss it?”

Song Chu was just about to speak when a voice called out from behind her, “Song Xiaochu.”

Song Chu was taken aback and turned around.

She saw Gu Yue, dressed in a white shirt and a khaki trench coat, walking towards her, as handsome as ever.

A big, bright smile bloomed on her face. “Gu, the Academic God, you’re back!”

Gu Yue’s eyes were also filled with warmth. “Mm, I’m back.”

He naturally noticed the person standing next to Song Chu and smiled faintly, speaking first, “Old Yan, long time no see.”

He and Yan Fei were high school classmates and had always had a good relationship. Later, because he was particularly annoyed with Yan Yu, and because of some differences in their future life plans and a disagreement with Yan Fei, they had a bit of a falling out.

When the Gu family’s incident happened, although the Yan family didn’t allow Yan Yu to pester him anymore and deliberately distanced themselves, they didn’t add insult to injury.

Yan Fei even privately sought him out and asked if he needed any help. At that time, daring to do such a thing was truly offering timely assistance.

Although he didn’t ask for Yan Fei’s help, he still remembered this favor.

Seeing Gu Yue, a bright and sincere smile also appeared on Yan Fei’s face. He proactively reached out and punched Gu Yue’s shoulder. “Old Gu, long time no see.”

Old Yan and Old Gu were the nicknames they used among their close friends.

Gu Yue also punched him. “I didn’t expect we’d meet here.”

He had already heard from Song Chu on the phone that Yan Fei was working at the County Economic Office.

Yan Fei touched his nose and smiled. “I didn’t expect it either.”

Song Chu realized that their relationship was truly good and smiled, “It’s rare for you two to meet. Catch up properly. I won’t disturb you.”

“Let’s have dinner together,” Gu Yue and Yan Fei said simultaneously.

After they spoke, they both froze for a moment, then smiled.

Song Chu raised an eyebrow. “Having dinner together, won’t that disturb your catching up?”

Gu Yue chuckled, “No.”

Yan Fei shrugged, “There are no secrets in our catching up, so there’s no question of disturbing or not disturbing.”

Song Chu thought that she was originally going to eat alone anyway, and since neither of them minded, she didn’t care either. “Okay, let’s go.”

She walked to Gu Yue’s side first. “Sister Ping took Xiao Jin to see a movie. I told them to eat dinner outside before coming back.”

A new movie had been released today. She had originally planned to go with them, but she had to deal with something unexpectedly, so she let her cousin take Gu Jin to see it alone.

Gu Yue nodded with a smile. “Mm, then the three of us will eat together.”

Although the words spoken between the two were simple, there was an unspoken tacit understanding and warmth between them. Seeing this, Yan Fei’s eyes darkened.
