Chapter 472: Going to Find Gu Dongxing
Chapter 472: Look for Gu Dongxing
Xiao Hua glanced at Nan Mengyu and said, "There’s nothing inappropriate to discuss, we’re all classmates here, it’s okay if you misspeak, go ahead."
Shuiyu found the situation strange, how come Xiao Hua could speak on behalf of Nan Mengyu? Weren’t she and Nan Mengyu supposed to be best friends?
But she still began to speak:
This time, the place she went to collect antiques was her own brigade.
Although Shuiyu and Nan Mengyu were not from the same village, they belonged to the same brigade, the Jiangzhou Brigade. Shuiyu’s village was called Upper Yao Village, and Nan Mengyu’s was called Xiayao Village.
This time when Shuiyu went back, she ran into her junior high school classmate, Wang Huilan. Wang Huilan’s family was quite poor, so she didn’t continue education after junior high. She was very happy to tell Shuiyu that she was about to go work in a coastal city.
Shuiyu was happy for her but a bit worried, isn’t she afraid of being deceived by going just like that? Wang Huilan told her that someone had introduced her to the job, and there were several other girls from their village going too, all aged between sixteen to twenty.
When it came to the person who introduced her, Wang Huilan said, "It’s Jiang Huaiyu’s dad from your village."
Shuiyu wondered, Jiang Haidong himself scrapped a living from the soil, how could he have connections to introduce people to work in coastal cities?
She wanted to persuade Wang Huilan not to go, but seeing how happy Wang Huilan was, she couldn’t bring herself to say it.
Upon hearing that the introducer was Jiang Haidong, Nan Mengyu’s heart skipped a beat. She knew that the mysterious person helping the Jiang Family was the human trafficker head, Lao San!
Jiang Haidong, scraping a living from the soil, yet helping people to find work, could it be that those introduced weren’t actually going to work but were handed over to old affairs, letting Lao San sell them into prostitution in coastal cities?
She stood up immediately and walked a few steps, then turned back to Shuiyu and said, "Call the brigade immediately, tell Wang Huilan not to go, I’m going to find Gu Dongxing."
After saying that, she continued to rush out like the wind: this time, not only did she want to rescue her junior high classmate and her companions, but she wanted to get Jiang Haidong and Lao San arrested too!
Shuiyu promptly agreed and rushed out to find a phone on the street.
The others looked at each other, baffled, what did big sister mean by that?
Everyone turned to look at Xiao Hua, who spread her hands, indicating she also didn’t know. Actually, she wanted to follow Jiang Mengyu too, but hearing Nan Mengyu was going to find Gu Dongxing, it seemed inappropriate to follow, so she stayed behind.
Nan Mengyu rushed out of the city, initially planning to make a phone call, but after running to two phone booths and finding them occupied, she simply ran to a secluded spot, threw out her Fei Shan, climbed on the fan, and flew towards the compound where Gu Dongxing was located.
Because their school was not far from the compound where Gu Dongxing was, it was just a one to two-hour drive, almost arriving instantaneously by Yu Shan.
Nan Mengyu, still more than two miles away from the compound in a small grove, and about ten meters high, jumped down. While putting away the fan, she directly exerted her Qinggong and headed towards the compound.
Upon reaching the gatehouse at the entrance, she asked the gatekeeper, "Is Gu Dongxing here?"
The gatekeeper had seen Nan Mengyu before and knew she was Gu Dongxing’s fiancée, quickly said, "Let me make a call and ask for you."
Despite her urgency, Nan Mengyu had no choice but to wait for him to make the call.
In her heart, she was anxiously thinking, knowing now that even here she needed to make a call to find him, she might as well have tried again in the county town, maybe could find a phone booth without a queue.
Finally, the guard got through the phone and asked the other side, "Is Gu Dongxing there? His fiancée is looking for him." Noticing the anxious Nan Mengyu, he added, "It’s urgent."
However, the response came back that he was not there. The guard regretfully told Nan Mengyu, "Gu Dongxing is out on a mission, you should wait for him inside."
Nan Mengyu knew that although Gu Dongxing had his own business, he was still involved with the civilian organization and sometimes was seconded to carry out tasks elsewhere.
This was what they called, the burden of the capable.
