A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

Chapter 742 Young Marshal and Song Xichen are here

Guier was feeling uneasy until it was time to go to bed. She thought that there would be no result today, so she prepared to go upstairs to rest.

Menzi suddenly walked in breathlessly and said, "Madam, the eldest and second young masters are here."

Everyone in the room was very surprised, including Gui'er. She knew Sha Yanxiao was coming, but she didn't expect him to arrive so soon.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and invite them in. What happened? Something happened in Jiangcheng." The lady said as she walked towards the front door.

Sha Yanxiao walked in from the main gate of Sha Mansion with a few people, including his deputy general, Dali, and even Song Xichen and Dagang.

Gui'er was also shocked. She didn't expect that Song Xichen and Sha Yanxiao came together. They usually didn't get along with each other, and they were even unhappy to hear each other's names.

"Guier." As soon as Sha Yanxiao saw Guier, he quickly stepped forward and hugged her tightly in his arms.

Gui'er felt both happy and a little shy. From childhood to adulthood, every time Sha Yanxiao and she met again, he would pick her up and spin her around, but now she was grown up after all.

"Okay, okay, your sister has grown up now. Even if you are brother and sister, you have to avoid suspicion to avoid being laughed at by others. By the way, why are you here? Xiao Song, why are you here too?" The lady asked a series of questions.

"Hello, Madam. I'm here on business. I have to attend a meeting at the Nanjing Police Department. I happened to run into the Young Marshal on the train. He invited me to come along, and Yan Yao and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so we came together."

"Second brother, Xichen, Director Song, have you eaten?" Gui'er wanted to change the subject. She really didn't know what excuse Sha Yanxiao could use to come here?

"We ate on the train."

"Even if you have eaten, don't stand at the door. Come inside and talk." The lady said as she led everyone into the house.

"Uncle, you haven't told me why you came here? Did something happen in your hometown?" Miss Tian started asking again as soon as she sat down.

Sha Yanxiao glanced around and said, "Jiangcheng received a notice requesting assistance in investigating the revolutionary party, but it was signed by Gao Zinong. I thought, usually these notices are sent by my eldest brother, why did it come from someone else today? I could have called to ask, but I was worried about being monitored. I remembered how Director Zhou had embarrassed us before, and I was worried something might happen, so I rushed over."

Sha Yanyao was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then said angrily, "This Gao guy actually issued a joint investigation notice without my knowledge. Damn it."

"What cooperative investigation notice?" Miss Tian asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"Then are you unable to find any related suspicious persons?" Sha Yanyao asked Sha Yanxiao.

Sha Yanxiao shook his head: "Jiangcheng and Fengcheng are very peaceful, and no relevant persons have been found."

"What's going on?" Miss Tian asked impatiently.

"It was Gao Zinong who wanted to steal the credit. He secretly investigated behind my back and found a teacher named Meng. He was suspected of collaborating with the Communists and was fired from the private school where he taught. Because He Feng, Shen Fengshu's current husband, was a distant relative, he went to live with them, hoping to make some money and then go to Shanghai to make a living. But when the two of them were seeing him off, Gao Zinong took him away and arrested him. There was a conflict and a gunfight."

"...Oh my God! Your ex-wife is a revolutionary?" Miss Tian was stunned for a moment before she figured out the relationship.

"What nonsense are you talking about? According to my investigation, they haven't seen each other for more than ten years. It must be just a coincidence that he came to them for help. Since he is an elder, he can't ignore him."

"Humph! You're just helping your ex-wife. I knew you couldn't let her go."

Sha Yanyao shook his head helplessly and said, "Gui'er is still her student. She even helped her bring that guest to the Shen Mansion that day. If she gets implicated, we will be implicated too. Do you understand now?"

Miss Tian, ​​what have you said yet? The Madam cried out, "Oh my God, what's going on? We were already severely weakened by the Director Zhou incident, and now there's another one. Gui'er, what's wrong with you? You're always causing trouble. Last time, it was because your apprentice, the shopkeeper, was arrested that you implicated us. You're such a jinx."

Although Gui'er was not convinced, she didn't dare to say anything at this time and just lowered her head.

"Mother, things have already happened. The best thing to do now is to find a way to solve it." Sha Yanxiao spoke up to help Guier.

"Although I'm an outsider, I'll still say a few words. After all, I have experience in handling cases. In my opinion, this matter really has nothing to do with Miss Shen and Gui'er. Of course, I also know that intelligence agencies have always done things without relying on evidence. I think we can try to make this matter the personal grudge between Gao Zinong and Yan Yao. Then we can say that he deliberately discredited your family. For one thing, he hasn't been caught and no evidence has been found. Although he insists that Teacher Meng is a revolutionary, he actually has no solid evidence." Song Xichen's analysis was very logical.

The lady nodded after hearing this. Although Miss Tian was not convinced, she knew that if her husband's family was implicated, she would not have a good result. She could only say reluctantly: "It sounds good. This should be possible. I will talk to my uncle later. However, there are other leaders in the Military Commission. It's not just my uncle who nods his head. I'm afraid it will cost some money. Can the Shen family still come up with this money now?"

Sha Yanyao pondered for a moment and said, "I'll ask them tomorrow. You can also go back and talk to your uncle. I'm temporarily holding Gao Zinong and his men who participated in the operation to prevent the news from leaking out too early. We can release them after we've dealt with it."

The matter was agreed upon, and Sha Yanxiao said that he would rush back to Jiangcheng early the next morning.

The wife was very pleased that he had come all this time, and said to her in a friendly manner, "You have worked hard this time. This is the right thing to do, and it is what real brothers should do."

Sha Yanxiao smiled and nodded.

It was already late, so Sha Yanyao asked Song Xichen and Sha Yanxiao to stay overnight in his house.

Gui'er returned to her room. A lot had happened today, and she had been worried. Now that things were finally starting to get better, she felt exhausted. She changed into her pajamas and prepared to go to bed.

"Knock, knock, knock." Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Guier, it's me." It was Sha Yanxiao's voice.

Guier hurried to open the door. Sha Yanxiao walked in, looked back at the door, and then closed the door.

"Guier, are you scared?" Sha Yanxiao said. He had taken off his coat and was wearing only suit pants and a white shirt. There was still a hint of fatigue on his face.
