Chapter 30: Chapter 30 How to Stay Chapter 30: Chapter 30 How to Stay Gu Dongxing restrained his laughter, nodded, and said seriously: “No disgrace has been caused.”
Then, he turned to Ye Rushui: “I’ll have someone send you back.” He blatantly ignored what Ye Rushui had previously said about compensating Mengyu.
“No need!” Ye Rushui glared at Gu Dongxing with a sense of injustice, warned Mengyu with “We’ll see about this!” and then ran off.
She wouldn’t let this rest; she must make her father confront Gu Dongxing and have him marry her! Gu Dongxing owed her father a great favor, and it was only right to repay it through her!
Mengyu, not considering herself Gu Dongxing’s true fiancée, didn’t take Ye Rushui’s words to heart.
Back at home, Mengyu asked Gu Dongxing: “Are the human traffickers dealt with?”
Gu Dongxing paused, then said: “Four of them were captured, including the spy. But Lao Liu, the leader, escaped. All the abducted women, including the two girls sold with you, have been rescued.”
Mengyu relaxed; this was good. In this life, Pi Yuhua and Jiang Haiyan were safe.
“This time, you’ve made a great contribution. What reward would you like?” Gu Dongxing asked again.
Now that the spy had been caught, the suspicions against Mengyu were naturally cleared. In fact, Gu Dongxing had long since stopped suspecting Mengyu.
However, for some reason, he was somewhat reluctant to let this girl go.
He always found what Mengyu had described about her dreams rather outlandish. Even if she wasn’t a spy, she definitely had secrets, and he wanted to delve deeper into them.
“Ah?” Mengyu was surprised: “I get to choose a reward? Then I want money,” Mengyu said. She was indeed worried about not having any.
Seeing that she didn’t hesitate to ask for money, Gu Dongxing sighed: “Don’t you want to enlist? I could help you.”
Gu Dongxing thought that a girl who could defeat Ye Rushui, who had grown up in a military camp, had the right physique for military service.
Back when she was a spirit, or Ah Piao, she had stayed a while in the Military District with Jiang Huaiyu and had admired those spirited female soldiers.
“Uh, I prefer the feeling of freedom.”
She had secrets and did not want to join the military.
“I overheard their discussions; they intended to send me abroad, but then mentioned that it recently became difficult to do so and instead I was taken to Tiger Valley.”
Gu Dongxing’s brows furrowed: This was actually an international group?
But with no further leads for now, all they could do was inform the local authorities and have them slowly investigate the few traffickers they had caught.
“Don’t worry, as long as they’ve broken the law, they won’t escape justice,” Gu Dongxing reassured her.
Mengyu also knew that it would be difficult to take down the Human Trafficking Group at once, but she would certainly not let those traffickers go.
Suddenly, she thought of a problem. Now that the spy he was after had been found, does that mean her potential as a spy was ruled out?
Should she leave this place?
For some reason, the thought of leaving made her feel a bit heavy: if she left, was she supposed to go back to the Jiang Family?
She was certain that if she showed up at the Jiang Family, Father Jiang and Madam Jiang, to prevent her from competing for a university spot, would sell her off again.
The next time she might not be so lucky to escape.
She remembered Jiang Huaiyu once saying that, a month and a half after she was sold into the mountains, her biological mother came looking.
Then, Father Jiang and Madam Jiang had pushed their own daughter, Jiang Huaiyu, onto her, and she would go to the university Jiang Huaiyu attended and acknowledge Jiang Huaiyu as her “daughter.”
In this life, she must not let her foster parents push their own daughter onto her biological mother again.
