Be in low spirits

Aunt Liu happened to be coming down from the elevator. Seeing this, she took the elevator upstairs again. She knocked on the study door and said to Gu Jinluo, "Miss, someone from the police station is here. He's downstairs and looks very fierce."

"Police Station?" She was surprised by the sudden visit from the Police Station. Could they be looking for Shen Zeqing at this time?

"Yes, it was downstairs. Everyone was moving things, and suddenly a group of people rushed in and told everyone not to move." Aunt Liu said vividly.

"How is Zeqingren? Is his injury healed?"

"Not yet. I'm still very weak. I can eat something. Ah Zhe is taking care of me. Miss, could this police station be here to look for my son-in-law?"

"It's okay. Tell them to keep moving so as not to delay the train. Uh, Aunt Liu, please get me some red ginseng or something to nourish me these few days."

After Liu Ma left, Gu Jinluo called the inspector general of the police station and told him that their search had disturbed her rest. The inspector general replied, "I understand."

Then the inspector general called the hotel front desk, and the detective in charge of the search could only nod and answer the phone, then evacuate his men.

Gu Jinluo took the day's newspaper and went to Shen Zeqing's room to see him. He had just finished drinking Chinese medicine to restore his qi and blood, and when he saw her, he wanted to sit up.

Gu Jinluo quickly waved her hand and asked him to lie down, and the servant Azhe helped him lie down again. She gave a look to let the servant go out, and then read the headline in the newspaper: Japanese Major General Sato was assassinated, and the murderer escaped after being injured.

Shen Zeqing said nothing. Gu Jinluo walked from the foot of the bed to the head of the bed, sat on the window sill, and said, "Zeqing, aren't you being too impulsive? If the police could find this place today, it means they can also find the noodle shop. Have you thought about them?"

Shen Zeqing still said nothing. He didn't want to involve more people in this matter.

"Well, since you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask any more questions. We'll take the train back to Anjiang later, and everyone needs to be safe." She got up and walked out, telling the servants to dress him and prepare to go to the train station.

When the group arrived at the train station and prepared to board the train, the police came again and stopped them from getting on the train. The leading detective looked at Shen Zeqing and asked, "Mrs. Shen, Mr. Shen looks very weak."

"My husband is a scholar. He is tired from the journey and finds it difficult to adapt. It is normal for him to feel unwell. But you, the inspector, are stopping us from leaving. What's your meaning?" Gu Jinluo argued with him on the platform and asked the servants to send Shen Zeqing to the train.

"Stop, we suspect Mr. Shen is involved in the assassination of Major General Sato, we need to take him back to the police station for questioning, and we ask Miss Gu to cooperate with us." The inspector took chicken feathers as a token of authority and spoke as if he was upright.

Ye Fan appeared in time, walked from the entrance to the platform and said: "This inspector must have evidence to speak, how can he arbitrarily accuse others? What's more, Miss Gu is the chairman's guest of honor. Have you thought about the consequences of doing this?"

"Xingzhi." She stood in the distance and looked at him. There were so many people around, so the two of them didn't dare to overstep the line.

"General Ye, we are also following orders. Please don't make things difficult for us."

Neither of them knew this inspector. Gu Jinluo only knew high-ranking officials in the police station, and she was not supposed to contact anyone lower than them.

"Since it is a suspicion, it means there is no evidence. I have a doctor here who can prove that Zeqing did not suffer external injuries. This inspector has delayed my trip. When I return to Anjiang, I will definitely talk to your inspector and let him know how you enforce the law impartially." She didn't want to waste time. The longer she delayed, the more disadvantageous it would be.

"Inspector Wang, are you arresting people without any evidence?" Ye Fan was also a little angry. No one dared to speak like that in front of him, let alone embarrass him in front of his woman.

"General Ye, we also have to give an explanation to the Japanese." The inspector also felt embarrassed, and Ye Fan's face looked unhappy.

Ye Fan waved his hand, and several guards rushed in and surrounded the people from the police station.

Then he walked up to Gu Jinluo and said, "Go back to Anjiang and wait for me." After saying that, he hugged her and kissed her hair.

Is he crazy? There are so many people here, in broad daylight. If the news gets out, will he still be able to be a general?

"General Ye, you are so bold. Will you still save your face if this gets out?" She wanted to hide but couldn't.

"My face is not as important as my wife. I will be able to reach Anjiang tomorrow night. Remember to wait for me." He still refused to let go. Having lost her once, he always had some shadows about saying goodbye.

"I'll wait for you, and I'll always wait for you." She also wanted to hug him back, but there were too many people here, and if they were too affectionate, they would definitely cause gossip.

"When we return to Anjiang, can you bring Dr. Jiang with you? I am worried about Zeqing's injury. After all, the doctor at home can't always follow him."

"Hey, this is time for the two of us, why do you have to mention him?" He held her face and looked at her seriously.

"Okay, I should get in the car." If he stayed like this any longer, he was afraid that he would go even further.

Ye Fan let her go, took her hand, and said, "How about I take you to the next stop?"

"Okay, just one day." She didn't dare to speak loudly, but just leaned close to him and whispered.

"Then be careful, Luoluo, I love you." Ye Fan also knew that there would always be a time to part.

"Keep your voice down." She twisted his arm, afraid of being heard.

Ye Fan held the man in his arms, but he still couldn't bear to let him go. The train whistled, reminding them that it was time to part.

Ye Fan watched the train start, sighed, turned around, and said to the inspector: "He's a Japanese, you can just find a death row prisoner to take his place and the case can be closed, how can it be so difficult?"

"General Ye, I'm afraid this matter..." The inspector did not dare to refute in front of such a person. After all, his career would be over with just one word from him.

"What? No?" He turned around slowly and stared at the inspector who was bending over behind him.

"Okay, okay, okay. If General Ye says it's okay, then it must be okay." The inspector could only obey orders.

On the train, Shen Zeqing was lying on the bed in the compartment. When she saw Gu Jinluo coming in, she wanted to get up and thank him, but she quickly waved her hand and asked him to lie down.

Shen Zeqing asked: "Does General Ye look like Miss Gu?"

"Don't worry about what happens between me and Xingzhi for now. Tell me what your plans are first." Gu Jinluo sat aside, fanning himself, wanting to know his future plans.

"I'm afraid I'll need to recover from this injury for a while. It was indeed me who injured Sato, and the Communist Youth League will probably have to lie dormant for a while."

"You will stay in the Gu Mansion these days. No one will disturb you. I will ask Xingzhi to bring you a doctor. Let her take care of your injuries. You don't have to worry too much about the affairs of the society. If you have anything to tell me, just send someone from the mansion to tell me."

"Miss Gu, do you have any arrangements for General Ye?" Shen Zeqing got up and asked.

"Xingzhi...when he arrives in Anjiang, we will discuss it."

Back in Anjiang, Uncle Wu was waiting at the door. When he saw the door open, he stood up tremblingly with his cane to greet him. Gu Jinluo hurried forward to support him and blamed him: "Uncle Wu, don't make trouble at your age. If something happens, how can I explain to your family?"

"It's against the rules no matter how you say it if I, the housekeeper, don't come out to greet the young lady every time she goes out and comes home."

"Didn't I ask you to take an apprentice? Just let your apprentice do these things." Back in the living room, Aunt Liu had someone bring a small stool. Gu Jinluo helped him sit down, and she sat down on the sofa herself.

Uncle Wu called his apprentice and asked him to bring the ginseng soup prepared in the kitchen.

After drinking two sips of soup, she ordered her servants to take Shen Zeqing to a safe place.

"Uncle Wu, has anyone visited us these days?" She was standing on the second floor, preparing to go to the study to look through what had happened in the past few days.

"Several noble families have sent you invitations, all inviting you to attend the banquet. Also, a few young masters have sent you gifts, but they have all been returned." Although Uncle Wu is old, he is still in good health and his ears are not deaf, but his eyes are a little blurry and he still speaks with some strength.

"Yeah." Since there was nothing serious, she went back to the study to deal with business matters.

It had been nearly a week since she went to Beijing, and she had left a lot of things to do. Gu Jinluo stayed in the study all night to finish them. It was not until Aunt Liu knocked on the door and brought her breakfast that she realized it was already dawn.

"I won't have breakfast. I'll go back to my room and take a nap. How's Zeqing feeling?" She closed the account book in her hand, lay down on the chair, and rubbed the bridge of her nose between her eyes.

"Son-in-law can eat on his own today, but he can't get out of bed and walk around." Aunt Liu felt that he should eat something, so she brought the breakfast to her and put it down.
