CHAPTER 208: CHAPTER 208: GO AND INVESTIGATE

Gu Lingling was unaware of these events. A few days later, Old Man Zhou was brought back by Gu Tongzhou and Zhao Junfeng.

Because he almost lost his life this time, the village specifically allocated him a bit more grain, and the entire winter he wasn’t assigned any heavy labor.

When Old Man Zhou returned, Gu Lingling didn’t immediately go to see him. Instead, she waited a few days before going to visit Zhao Si’en, where she found Old Man Zhou lying on the kang bed.

Upon seeing him, Gu Lingling burst into tears.

"Oh dear, this old man has a tough life, don’t cry, girl." Old Man Zhou was heartbroken. This time, if not for Gu Lingling, he might have lost his life there.

Although he woke up in the hospital, he was well aware that the person who saved him must have been Gu Lingling.

And what he heard that day was not an illusion.

However, he knew his own identity well, and now that he was being watched by the militia, in the hospital, he pretended to know nothing.

Unexpectedly, someone actually came to investigate later.

"You still have the mood to joke." Gu Lingling glared at him, "But you’ve suffered already, how long will it take to recover from this?"

"Being able to keep this life is already a blessing." Old Man Zhou took it lightly, "Stop crying, girl. There’s something I need to tell you."

So he recounted the events at the hospital to Gu Lingling, "Those people thought I was asleep, but I actually heard clearly that they were asking if it was the military who brought me there. Tell him to be careful."

"And you, I’m fine now, you should leave quickly." To avoid anyone watching and bringing trouble to the girl.

"I know, be careful yourself." Gu Lingling nodded.

What Old Man Zhou said made her very uneasy, fearing it would cause trouble for Yang Yunhai.

And she didn’t know who those people were. If they were Yang Yunhai’s political enemies, it would be bad. In her past life, Yang Yunhai retired from the army for unknown reasons.

What if this matter was used against him?

Gu Lingling felt restless and couldn’t sit still at home. She wanted to go to the army, but was afraid those people would watch her too and trace back to Yang Yunhai, which would be counterproductive.

Yang Yunhai was having a conversation with Wang Jianshan, "The Zhou Family? Which Zhou Family?"

"The one with Zhou Bo, the guy with the big front teeth," Wang Jianshan reminded.

"Oh, it’s him." Yang Yunhai smirked, "If he wants to investigate, let him go ahead."

He already handled everything that needed to be erased, and whatever Zhou Bo managed to find out was what he intended for people to know.

"Didn’t expect him to start showing off after arriving in Qin City." Yang Yunhai sneered. Being driven out of the Capital City, he became a big shot here.

"I’m telling you, that old bastard’s been quite cunning these past few years, you better be careful." Wang Jianshan warned.

Only Wang Jianshan knew how Zhou Bo was demoted to Qin City, and Yang Yunhai had a hand in it.

Zhou Bo harbored a grudge and if he caught hold of Yang Yunhai’s weakness, wouldn’t he try his best to bring him down?

Wang Jianshan thought for a while, perhaps he should report this to the old man.

Sigh... is being the police chief an easy job?

Gu Lingling endured several days at home, initially pondering whether to go to the army, when Liu Yating came, asking her to help with pickling vegetables for the family.

After the snowfall, the army issued a lot of cabbages.

Generally, at this time, everyone would save some for regular meals and pickle the rest into salted vegetables.

Wang Shuxia wanted to clear Gu Lingling’s name, so she invited Gu Lingling to join them.

Not only that, she also invited a few military wives or female soldiers who were close to her to come to her house for pickling.
