Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 285 Family and Country in Dire Straits (55)

In July, the war broke out, and communications between Beiping and northern Shanxi were cut off.

Yan Yu frowned even more deeply as he looked at the news from the past few days on the table.

Due to the government's cowardly actions, large-scale protests broke out in Beiping, resulting in the arrest of many people.

And among them is a familiar name: Chen Bai.

The gentleman told him that this person was Chen Lian's son.

As a teacher at the school and a leader of the protests, he was the first to be arrested.

Public opinion was in an uproar, all sorts of news were flying around, and newspapers were filled with critical articles from writers every day; it was a complete mess.

Then war broke out again, and no one knows what happened after that. Yan Yu looked at the letters on the table and his eyes darkened.

He has to prepare for the worst.

No news is the best news.

He believed in his husband's abilities, but he didn't believe in his husband's ruthlessness.

Gu Yao is incredibly intelligent, almost supernatural, and with that eccentric little brat by his side, he's even more worried that Gu Yao might choose to risk his life alone to save someone.

If in the past they might have released these arrested people due to public opinion, now they can only save themselves.

Yan Yu closed her eyes, feeling a headache coming on.

He could only pray that his husband wouldn't act impulsively.

There will always be a way.

***

Gu Yao knew that Chen Bai had been arrested and was hiding in their rented small house, which was also their temporary base.

Several people from the information department beside him knew about Chen Bai's relationship with Gu Yao. Upon hearing this news, they looked at Gu Yao with some concern.

This is their information department's ace, they can't afford to lose him here.

They anticipated all of Gu Yao's reactions, and even planned to tie him up if he acted too aggressively.

On the contrary, the person being worried remained silent.

What is supposed to come will come.

Gu Yao sighed and looked up to meet the worried gazes of the people in front of him.

"what happened?"

Xiao Jiu frowned and asked with some concern, "Brother Yao, are you alright?"

So you were worried about me.

Gu Yao shook his head. "It's alright. We need to finish up this information. Let's process it first and send the message out as soon as possible while we can still get it out of Beiping."

After speaking, the young man silently lowered his head and continued organizing the messages on the table.

Xiao Jiu tilted her head to look at Gu Yao, somewhat puzzled. His reaction shouldn't be so indifferent.

Given the host's personality, even if he doesn't attempt a prison break now, he should at least come up with some other plan.

Gu Yao seemed to sense something, looked up and met the worried gaze of his stupid system, sighed, shook his head at him, and silently said, "We'll discuss it tonight."

Is there going to be a next step?

Xiao Jiu lowered her eyes, unable to describe her feelings, only feeling a tightness in her chest.

In this world, the host has hardly had a few happy days.

If you calculate the time, there are only a few days left until the original owner dies.

They should start making plans soon.

***

At night, Gu Yao pulled up a chair, sat by the window, looked at the bright moon outside, and sighed softly.

Gazing at the same bright moon is a kind of reunion.

What is the little one doing right now?

After seeing the others off, Xiao Jiu returned to find him looking somewhat forlorn. She silently walked behind him and gently placed her hand on the back of the chair. "Host, is there anything I can do for you?"

Gu Yao snapped out of her reverie, turned to look at the boy who still possessed an ethereal, elfin appearance, and gave a slight smile. "Does Xiao Jiu already know?"

Looking at that handsome face, 0529 leaned down to meet Gu Yao's gaze, "Host, I'm much smarter now."

In the past few days, as Gu Yao's memories have returned, he has also remembered many things.

The handsome young man's tone was somewhat fierce, as if he was dissatisfied with the young man's disdain.

Gu Yao was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Yes, the current system is really becoming more and more like an excellent system.

Although it's a bit of a shame that we won't see the clunky system from before, it's still a good thing.

At least his future tasks will be able to work in harmony with his own stupid system.

And that boy whose face I couldn't see...

Those familiar fox eyes...

"My lord, please don't abandon me, okay?"

The boy's piercing question in the dream made Gu Yao's heart clench.

He tried to grab him, but those beautiful eyes scattered into points of light before his eyes.

Gu Yao was certain that the owner of those eyes was "him".

Having followed him through so many worlds, who exactly is he?

Did they know each other before?

Gu Yao shook his head, trying to clear his mind of those jumbled thoughts.

Take a deep breath, suppress the restlessness in your heart, and remember that you still need to deal with the immediate problem first.

Chen Baige.

He wanted to save him.

Gu Yao lowered his gaze and couldn't help but raise his fingertips to rub the pocket watch hanging around his neck.

As soon as Xiao Jiu saw Gu Yao's actions, she knew that Gu Yao was thinking about Yan Yu again.

The thought of that person made him frown, completely clueless about what he was up to.

Why go to such lengths to revive the adult when you attacked him in the first place?

The thought of that beautiful yet ruthless person gives me a headache.

However, for now, he will not disturb the master's soul reconstruction.

Since they share the same goal, he doesn't mind making a temporary agreement with that dead fox.

With their thoughts in different directions, Gu Yao opened his pocket watch, revealing the same slightly blurred black-and-white profile. He couldn't help but gently stroke that beautiful face with his slender, pale fingertips.

He closed his eyes, steeled his heart, took off the pocket watch, smiled, and reluctantly handed it to the boy, treasuring it dearly.

"Xiao Jiu, you will leave with them tomorrow and return to headquarters. You don't need to suppress your abilities anymore. Do your best to intercept and decipher messages."

The boy gripped the object in his hand tightly, his gaze turning serious. "And what about you?"

Is he trying to sacrifice himself for righteousness again?

Or should I sacrifice myself to protect others?

My lord, those you want to protect are the ones who end up turning their swords against you.

Do these people really deserve it?

Xiao Jiu didn't quite understand.

He used to be a wild and unrestrained beast, only becoming somewhat restrained after being tamed by Gu Yao.

In his heart, no one was more important than Gu Yao.

Even 66 won't work.

Thinking of that bastard who took advantage of him while he had no memory, Xiao Jiu's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

If he has no memory, that's fine. But if he finds out that this bastard has memories, he'll make him understand why the flowers are so red.

0529 lowered his eyes and put the pocket watch in his pocket.

He will always be the most loyal and vicious dog under the master's command.

He would never utter a word of complaint if an adult asked him to do something.

What do you want me to do?

Gu Yao tilted his head, reached into his pocket, and placed the wallet in the boy's hand. He rubbed it for a moment, seemingly reluctant, but then put it down.

"Take this with you too."

Leave none of them.

He won't let anyone find any fault with him.

Yan Yu.

Although the Jinbei commander didn't need him to protect her so carefully.

However, this also prevented them from using him to threaten Yan Yu.

He would not allow Yan Yu to become his weakness, nor would he become a threat to Yan Yu.

This was probably the last thing he could do for him.

Ah Yu...

Next time, may I know your name?

I'm really not reconciled.

I wanted to see him a few more times.

They've only just gotten married.

He closed his eyes briefly, then leaned back wearily in his chair. He didn't look at the person behind him anymore, but simply waved his hand, his voice full of drowsiness, "Xiao Jiu, you should go. Don't stay. I'll try to stay in this world a little longer."

This would give them a better chance of winning.

The boy behind him pursed his lips, said nothing more, but gripped the thing in his hand tightly and turned to leave.

Adults don't like people who are indecisive or wishy-washy.

The process of rebuilding one's soul is painful, and it is destined to bring regret and tragedy to every encounter.

Although he didn't know how that dead fox had managed it, he could guess the price of going against the heavens.

His dislike for Chen Juan doesn't prevent him from admiring him.

Let's see what this fox is capable of.

Shen Juan, don't let me down.
