Chapter 445: What a lawless outlaw

The special unit where Gu Zhiqian is stationed does not allow communication with the outside world, which shows its importance.

The fact that his whereabouts were being tracked is a major issue.

Once the person protecting Gu Zhiqian reported it, three generations of the Ling family's ancestors were investigated thoroughly.

Ling Zhi herself was also invited in for "tea."

Only after a thorough investigation and questioning did they realize that what they thought was infiltration and subversion was merely a young girl's infatuation.

When Gu Zhiqian learned of the investigation results, his brows knitted so tightly they could crush a fly.

Lin Zhao laughed at her son's expression, "I didn't expect our Seeing Qian Bao to be the first one to be pursued."

"Mom, I'm still young," Gu Zhiqian said with a serious expression.

"You're not that young anymore; you're an adult and can start dating." Lin Zhao teased her son, the smile in her eyes lingering for a long time.

Gu Zhiqian's face was full of resistance.

He had no interest in those girls; he would rather spend that time researching difficult problems.

"I have no interest in her," Gu Zhiqian emphasized, also fearing that she might show up at their door and pester his family into playing matchmaker.

He has a high IQ and a high EQ, and he knows how to nip trouble in the bud.

"Don't worry, your father and I won't interfere in your personal matters; it's up to you." Lin Zhao heard the meaning in her youngest son's words and put his mind at ease.

Gu Zhiqian's brow relaxed, "Mom, thank you."

With his mother's words, he could finally set his mind at ease.

Heaven knows how much he feared returning from the research institute one day to find an extra fiancée or a girl waiting for a blind date at home.

Gu Zhiyu felt the same way.

He yearned for the kind of love his parents had, where they supported each other through thick and thin, and did not want a blind marriage.

After Lin Zhao finished speaking, Gu Chenghuai finally spoke. He said to Gu Zhi Yao, "Yaobao, you are still young, don't be in a hurry to date. Girls should be reserved; being too proactive is not good and makes it easy to be taken lightly."

"Who would dare?" A cold, sharp light flashed in Gu Zhihang's eyes.

Gu Chenghuai glanced at him, and Gu Zhihang immediately dissipated the coldness in his eyes, turning back into that smiling tiger, Gu Zong.

Gu Zhi Yao blushed, tried hard to remain calm, and said, "I know. Dating affects my studies. I don't want to date; I want to work at a TV station in the future."

"You want to be a broadcaster?" Gu Zhiyu looked at his younger sister.

Gu Zhi Yao said, "Yes, Big Brother, what do you think?" Her eyes were full of anticipation; she valued her eldest brother's evaluation of her very much.

"I think you are very good." Gu Zhiyu's black eyes were serious, and his attitude toward answering his sister's question was solemn, "You are beautiful, your image is perfect, your learning ability is strong, your reactions are fast, and you will know several foreign languages in the future. I'm even worried that being a little broadcaster would bury your talent."

These words were beautifully spoken, and Gu Zhi Yao was coaxed into having even more confidence.

She clenched her hands, "I will work hard."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself." Gu Zhiyu's expression was calm, and he was increasingly showing the demeanor of an eldest son, "Eat when you should eat, play when you should play."

"If you lack anything, tell me; I will support you completely."

Gu Zhihang couldn't help himself, "Big Brother, I'm here; there's no need for you. If Yaobao lacks anything, just give me a call, and at the latest, I can arrange for someone to deliver it to her by the next day. If I go through you, I won't even be able to wait a month."

Gu Zhiyu didn't speak, glanced at him indifferently, withdrew his gaze in an instant, and gave a folder to his sister, "Yaobao is going to college, and as her eldest brother, I must show my support. Keep this money; it's deposited in your name, and the password is your birthday. Don't save it; when you spend it all, Big Brother will give you more."

Yaobao was moved to tears, hugged her eldest brother's arm, and rubbed her fair, delicate little face against him.

"Thank you, Big Brother, Big Brother is the best."

Gu Zhihang: "Yesterday you said Second Brother was the best, today these words have changed to praising Big Brother; you change really fast."

Yaobao turned a deaf ear and added, "Little Brother is also good. I like the bicycle Little Brother gave me very much; I will ride it to school from now on."

Gu Zhiqian smiled slightly, "As long as you like it. The university is very big, and walking on your legs is too tiring; having a light bicycle can save a lot of time."

The bicycle he gave Yaobao was modified by himself; it was even lighter than a variable-speed bicycle. Knowing his sister liked pink, he painted it pink. The bicycle wasn't big, and it was a style that any girl would like.

"Seeing Qian Bao is very thoughtful." Lin Zhao looked at the beautiful scene of brotherly friendship and sisterly respect, her lips curling upward.

The sun outside was just right, the breeze blew in the fragrance of flowers, and the time spent laughing and talking passed very quickly.

The eldest and the youngest had to return to their units again. With Qiao Hui's help, Lin Zhao made some food that could be stored for a while, and along with the clothes she made, she let her sons take them with them.

The two boys looked at each other, the same satisfied smiles appearing on their handsome faces, and they took their respective things without needing anyone else's help.

Before leaving, Gu Zhiyu hugged Lin Zhao, his voice calm, "Mom, I will be careful, don't worry. You and Dad take care of yourselves. I will come back to see you when I have time. I will definitely become your pride."

Lin Zhao smiled and patted her eldest son's shoulder, her face showing both reluctance and gratification, "You are already our greatest pride."

Gu Zhiyu let go of his mother and hugged Yaobao, who was looking at him with eager eyes, looking like she could cry at any moment, "You study cultural knowledge well; perhaps one day you will see me at the school gate."

"Big Brother is going to pick me up from school?" Yaobao's brows were dyed with excitement. Calming down, she acted coyly, "I'm already in college; I'm not a little girl who needs her brother to pick her up..."

"No matter how old you get, I'm still your brother. What's wrong with picking you up from school? When you start working in the future, I'll still pick you up from work." He guaranteed that no one would dare to get close to his sister.

Gu Chenghuai agreed with these words completely.

Yaobao nodded happily, "Then it's a deal, you have to pick me up next time you come back."

"Mm, it's a deal." Gu Zhiyu responded and walked out with his third brother.

Gu Zhiqian silently rubbed the top of his sister's hair, glanced at the others in the house, and got into a car.

He sat in the back seat, waved at Lin Zhao and the others, and the car started.

After this departure, he didn't know when he would be able to return.

Gu Zhiqian was already used to it, but the reluctance rolling in his heart was still so obvious.

Whenever this happened, he would wonder if it was worth it to choose this path. Was it worth missing out on countless hours of time with his family?

What the answer was, the current Gu Zhiqian did not know.

Seeing that Gu Gong's mood was fluctuating quite a bit, the person protecting Gu Zhiqian in the car suddenly spoke, "Gu Gong, regarding Ling Zhi's matter, I didn't finish what I was saying earlier. Would you like to hear the part I didn't finish?"

Gu Zhiqian was distracted by this, his mood improved a little, and he looked over, "What?"

"The comrade named Ling Zhi is determined and stubborn about becoming your other half. She plans to pursue you proactively first. If you never yield, she will take further measures."

Gu Zhiqian asked nonchalantly, "And what are the further measures? Using public opinion?"

"More or less." The muscular man touched his chin, his expression strange, "She formulated a detailed plan: first pursue, show favor; if that can't move you, use schemes, such as a beauty saving the hero, or a bitter flesh trick. If that still doesn't work, she plans to use the ultimate method: using Zhiyao to plot against you, using public opinion to force you to submit."

An expression of speechlessness appeared on Gu Zhiqian's face, which was always calm regardless of favor or humiliation.

"... What a lawless outlaw. Does she think national law is just for show? Truly a fish that slipped through the net of compulsory education."

After hearing this complaint, the person sent specifically to protect Gu Zhiqian gave a thumbs up.

"A very sharp evaluation, but..." his tone changed, "it's very actionable; if you're not careful, you'll fall for it."

Gu Zhiqian thought so too, and said, "Warn the Ling family, let them manage that person. With her acting so recklessly, I feel her hands aren't clean."

It was simply too crazy.

"Mm, we are still investigating. We will handle it according to the situation after we find out."

It just depends on whether the other party has done anything illegal or undisciplined.

Ling Zhi had done quite a few small actions, not limited to taking the lead in isolating classmates, mocking classmates, looking down on others because of her family background, ordering girls in the same dormitory to fetch water and dump trash for her, etc...

Nothing illegal, but the things she did made people frown.

In the end, they could only criticize her and let her go. The Ling family had a girl who ended up in the police station, losing a lot of face. The neighbors were all discussing it. Only then did the Ling family realize they hadn't taught their child well. Plus, the higher-ups sent people to pass on a message, and they began to manage Ling Zhi strictly.

Ling Zhi had originally been arranged for a job with little work and high pay by her family, but after this incident, it was gone. She was detained at home to study and made to repeat a grade.

Ling Zhi, who hated studying the most, was miserable. In just one month, she looked like a scholar whose spirit had been sucked away.

With Gu Zhiyu and Gu Zhiqian returning for this trip, Gu Zhi Yao had no more regrets. First, she ate, drank, and played with Lin Zhao for a few days, and later she followed Lin Yu to Hong Kong.

Arriving in Hong Kong, Gu Zhi Yao felt like she had entered a brand new world; she wanted to go everywhere and try everything.

She met several big stars she had always wanted to see and even took photos with them. The little girl was extremely satisfied.

Coming to Hong Kong, Gu Zhihang and Gu Zhi Yao finally truly knew how big the Lin family's business was.

If it weren't for the fact that they were both people with firm minds, they would have been blown away by those rainbow farts by now.

Lin Yu socialized with ease, and every time she opened her mouth, it was a project worth millions.

Gu Zhihang opened the door to a new world, and the complacency in his heart that his assets were far superior to his peers completely disappeared.

What he had was nothing; it was nothing at all.

He didn't even have the qualifications to talk about cooperation with the people here!

"What did you learn?" Lin Duan looked at Gu Zhihang and asked.

"A lot, my heart has settled down," Gu Zhihang said.

Lin Duan said "Mm," "Look more."

He is Lin Heling's eldest brother and the heir to the Lin family. He was very happy about the arrival of Gu Zhihang and his sister, and personally took them out to meet people, fearing that the siblings would be bumped into.

Xiao Jiu specifically called him to ask him to take good care of his grandson and granddaughter. How could he dare not follow orders? If any mistake occurred, his father would lecture him.

He was quite old and didn't want to make a fool of himself.

"I know," Gu Zhihang answered.

Next, he went to quite a few factories, saw the prosperity of Hong Kong, and also saw the danger behind the prosperity.

With professional bodyguards following him to protect him, it could be considered safe.

The Lin family had great power in Hong Kong, and even those in the underworld gave the Lin family some face, let alone those in the entertainment industry. Knowing that the Lin family had children who wanted to take photos with them, these people were flattered and provided Yaobao with a lot of emotional value.

So much so that she was quite satisfied with this trip to Hong Kong.

She had so much fun that she was still a bit unfulfilled when she went back.

Lin Yu laughed, "If you want to come, you can come again in the future. Don't you have winter and summer vacations? I'll take you again then."

Yaobao bloomed with a smile, "Okay, I'll come again next time. Next time I come, I want to travel with my mother."

During the time she came to Hong Kong, Lin Yu heard Yaobao mention her mother quite a bit; she really was a mama's girl.

She also doted on her, "Okay, I'll bring your mother next time."

Yaobao was even more expectant.

Sitting on a cruise ship for the first time, Yaobao wasn't used to it and felt a bit seasick, but after taking the seasickness medicine Lin Zhao prepared, she felt much better.

Now that she was on the return journey, she didn't know if she had adapted or what, but she didn't feel seasick anymore and even stood outside to watch the scenery.

The dark blue seawater was rolling like a giant beast swallowing people, full of mystery and danger.

Yaobao looked at the sea surface, always having the feeling that a big thing was about to emerge from the sea at any time. Her heart suddenly lifted, and she felt a bit weightless.

She told Lin Yu about her feelings.

Lin Yu smiled and said, "It's normal. I heard this is called thalassophobia. If you're afraid, go back to your room and lie down, just like when you came. Don't make things difficult for yourself."

Yaobao felt so uncomfortable she wanted to vomit, not because of seasickness, but because of excessive fear.

"I'm going back to my room." She didn't force herself and decisively returned to her room.

Gu Zhihang was worried about his sister and turned to follow.

Returning to the room, Yaobao lay down straight, and finally felt comfortable.

"Second Brother, you don't need to worry about me, go play your own games. I'm fine, I plan to sleep until we get off the ship."

Gu Zhihang saw her complexion improve and set his mind at ease, saying, "There's still seasickness medicine, if you feel uncomfortable, take it, don't force yourself."

"I'm not seasick, I just stared at the sea surface for too long and felt afraid... I feel much better now." Yaobao explained awkwardly.

"What's there to be afraid of about the sea? It's not like it's your first time sitting on a ship." The little girl was just timid.

Yaobao pouted, "I didn't really go out much when we came."

There were so many fun things on the ship she couldn't finish playing with them, so she didn't go to the deck at all.

"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore. If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me." Gu Zhihang said.

"I know, I'm going to sleep for a while."

"Sleep, I'll be right next door, call me if anything happens." Gu Zhihang was worried and didn't plan to go to the deck again.

A few days later, the cruise ship docked.

Stepping on real land, the smile on Yaobao's face was obviously brighter.

"We're home!"

Gu Zhihang glanced at her, calling her a little coward in his heart, and pulled her forward.

"Second Brother, the gifts I brought for Dad, Mom, Grandpa, and Grandma..." Yaobao struggled.

"Someone will take them, they won't be lost, we'll distribute them when we get home," Gu Zhihang said, "I haven't been at my company for a month, I don't know how it's doing, I'm anxious to go see. Yaobao, you be good, wait until Brother earns big money, I'll buy you a big villa, and then give you a car, the same as the one Mom drives, how about I customize a pink one for you..."

He opened his mouth and made empty promises that didn't cost money.

Yaobao followed his strength and walked forward, saying with a smile, "I have a villa, Mom gave me two, and there are storefronts too, two of them, oh."

This was the gift Lin Zhao gave her after she finished the college entrance examination.

The sons had them too, and they had all been transferred.

The children were grown up, and occasionally there were times when they needed private space. Lin Zhao was willing to satisfy their small cravings.

"Who doesn't have one?"

Yaobao thought of the two storefronts that hadn't been renovated for long and worried, "Second Brother, what do you think I should do with the storefronts?" ===== CHAPTER 446 =====
