Chapter 885 Although she was still smiling, the cold glint in her eyes was extremely sharp.
With a head full of questions, Zhou Yichen snatched the letter back and strode outside. "I told you, if you have any questions, ask her yourself. I don't know much more than you do."
"Also, if you really can't control your excitement, do something to distract yourself. Lu Zhaolin will be closing in soon, so don't mess things up at this crucial moment."
"But, but I'm so excited right now, what should I do? My little sister..." Chu Yunting grabbed his hair with both hands, his eyes were shining, his face was flushed, and he paced back and forth uncontrollably.
"Shut up!" A cold, icy voice rang out as Zhou Yichen stamped his foot and looked at him.
"Don't forget what you just said. If you're going to protect her, then keep your mouth shut. Instead of worrying here, you should finish your work as soon as possible, and then go find her and help her."
You can probably guess what Chu Xin will face next.
After saying that, Zhou Yichen left the office without lingering.
The words he spoke to Chu Yunting were also words he spoke to himself; he wanted to be by Chu Xin's side as soon as possible, to help her, and to protect her.
Inside the office, Chu Yunting stood there stunned for a while before jumping up and down, muttering, "Yes, yes, I need to hurry. Xiao Chu's situation is definitely very dangerous right now. I have to go help her!"
After saying that, he dashed out the door and disappeared without a trace.

Chu Xin and the other two left the guesthouse without alerting anyone, asking around as they made their way to the temporary accommodation that Su Zihang had told them about.
Chu Xin had called Su Zihang once before to confirm if he was in mainland China, but no one answered the phone. When she called again, there was no sound of electricity. She vaguely felt that something might have happened there, so she decided to go there as soon as possible.
After asking for directions several times, I finally got a definite direction. Just as I was getting closer and closer, I suddenly heard a lot of chaotic noise ahead.
It sounded like there was the "dong" sound of gongs being struck, as if some kind of group activity was taking place.
The sound came from the direction they were heading, so they quickened their pace. Just as they were about to get close, two people emerged from the corners of the walls on both sides of the alley.
The two groups of people faced each other, each blocking the other's path.
Before Chu Xin and the others could move aside, one of the people on the other side spoke first.
"Hey? Are you guys going to watch the parade and denunciation too? Honestly, you young people shouldn't go. Sigh, times have changed and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be. Watching those things won't have a good influence on you, especially since there's a woman here. Listen to your uncle, don't go."
It turned out to be a parade, which is not unusual in today's society. Chu Xin smiled and said, "Thank you for reminding me, Uncle, but we're not going to watch the parade; we just happened to be passing by."
Upon hearing this, the old man exchanged a glance with the person with him and then smiled wryly, "Look at me, we've gotten into a misunderstanding. Sorry!"
"It's alright, you meant well!" Chu Xin said, then paused and asked again, "Do you two gentlemen know what the protest over there is about?"
"Sigh, what else could it be? These days, families that have been wealthy, have produced scholars, or have even held official positions may all experience this, not to mention those who secretly make a living. Alas, it's all because of poverty."
"Little girl, don't be curious about these things. Getting involved will only lead to endless trouble." Another old man, who seemed to know something, spoke ambiguously.
Chu Xin nodded thoughtfully. Judging from the old man's words, the target of the parade and criticism was probably speculators who engaged in black market trading.
Yang Zheng and Ge Shaoting were also worried about causing trouble, so they suggested, "Let's take a detour."
However, Chu Xin did not respond immediately. Instead, she turned her head to look at another place. Although she was still smiling, the cold glint in her eyes was very sharp.
Yang Zheng and his companion were startled and quickly turned around, only to find that someone was standing at the crossroads to their right.
He wasn't short, but rather thin, the kind of skinny person who looked like a piece of cured meat after being exposed to the elements.
This kind of situation is usually caused by a life of hardship and chronic hunger, and one's expression should be numb and empty. However, the person in front of me had a cold expression and an aura that was not to be trifled with.
He just stared in that direction, without moving an inch.
