Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 566 The return date keeps getting longer

An hour later, Zhou Yichen and Chu Xin left.

When Old Master Gao heard about Gao Ziyou's tragic situation from the guard, his expression changed for a while before it finally calmed down.

No matter how angry I am, I can only suppress it.

Normally, even if Gao Ziyou were a complete scoundrel, he wouldn't allow himself to be humiliated to this extent. He would handle any problems behind closed doors with his family.

But now...

Sigh, as the saying goes, when the situation is beyond our control, we can only endure it.

This can be considered karma.

He spent his whole life thinking he had a clear mind and sharp eyes, but little did he know that despicable scoundrels had already eroded the foundation of his Gao family. After this incident, it is likely that the Gao family will need its descendants to work even harder to achieve its current glory.

However, in peacetime, meritorious service is not something that can be easily achieved.

As the patriarch and head of the Gao family, he... was a failure.

"Send them to the hospital... but not to the same hospital, lest that brat recovers and starts yelling at his father to kill him, so send him to the military hospital."

"Yes!"

The guard wrote it down.

"...Take Zishuo with you. If he's willing, let him see Yu Yin first. He can forget about Yu Jing. Even if I intervene, he won't be able to see her. Explain to him clearly what to do to ensure his safety. I believe he knows what to choose."

Seeing that the old leader immediately forbade Gao Zishuo from staying at the Gao family home, the guard didn't have any bad intentions. In his understanding, this might not be a bad thing. If Gao Zishuo didn't understand, then he would really be heartless.

After giving his final instructions, Old Master Gao wearily rubbed his temples, relaxed his back, and leaned back to make himself more comfortable. He closed his eyes slightly and raised a finger to the guard, "Go and do it."

His work had to be put on hold until the official written documents arrived. He was clearly feeling terrible, but he still had to handle everything. His voice showed his exhaustion in that instant.

On the way back to the small courtyard rented by the Central Special Branch.

Zhou Yichen seemed off after coming out of the room. Chu Xin just raised an eyebrow and glanced at him, not rushing to ask any questions. She followed him and waited for him to completely process his negative emotions.

It wasn't until after leaving the Gao family and driving aimlessly around the road for several hours that Zhou Yichen sighed, turned the car around, and actually drove back the way he came.

"When the new China was founded, before my grandfather took office as the commander of the military region, there was another veteran revolutionary who had made great contributions in battle and was nominated along with him."

He joined the revolution five years earlier than my grandfather. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, he was known for his guerrilla warfare skills in the Hebei-Central Base Area. During the Liberation War, he was the commander of the main force corps on the front line.

He and my grandfather were the top candidates for promotion to commander at the time, and many people thought he had a better chance of being promoted than my grandfather, but in the end, it was my grandfather who was promoted.

At that time, he had just returned triumphantly from the Korean battlefield and did not pay much attention to the intricacies of the matter. In his view, a soldier was just a brick, to be moved wherever needed. When his superiors gave him the appointment letter, he took on the heavy responsibility of the Kyoto Military Region without reacting to any criticism from the outside world.

Because in his view, soldiers are duty-bound to obey orders, and he believed that the other person would think the same way.

However… judging from the current situation, it seems that things are not at all what Grandpa thought!

After Zhou Yichen finished speaking, his expression became more complicated. He stared straight ahead at the road, his brows furrowed deeply.

Even though he wasn't looking at her, Chu Xin could tell that his eyes must be very cold and indifferent.

She was quite surprised; she hadn't expected that Gao Ziyou would immediately think of Zhou Yichen as soon as he mentioned him.

"From what you're saying, you knew all along that there might have been a conflict between that person and Grandpa Zhou, but you never suspected him about what happened back then?"

"No, because that person later became very close to my grandfather. Otherwise, how do you think I would know about the past? I only heard it from the two of them joking with each other."

Zhou Yichen tightened his grip on the steering wheel, recalling the few times he had interacted with the other party. Was he too naive back then to see the other party's wolfish ambitions?

Or maybe the other party was just too good at pretending. Otherwise, even if my grandfather was upright, he would have seen through the deception by now.

"Tsk tsk, they want to harm you, and you're still foolishly treating them as good friends. Zhou Yichen, how can your family be so stupid? Like that old man surnamed Ruan?"

Speaking of this, Chu Xin really couldn't help but complain, "No matter how much a person pretends, it's impossible to pretend to be perfect. I think when Grandpa Zhou wholeheartedly trusts someone, his insight is not as good as yours."

Zhou Yichen frowned, glanced at her quickly, and said with a hint of resentment, "Couldn't it be that my grandfather was being deceived by someone with ulterior motives because he was grateful?"

Chu Xin rolled her eyes at him, "If you think it's better to say this to save face, then just pretend I didn't say anything. But I have serious doubts about the person Gao Ziyou mentioned to you."

For example, your thinking has become fixed due to the influence of the Old Man Ruan incident. As soon as you suspect him, you bring up the things that Grandpa Zhou had with the other party, which deepens your suspicions.

Think about it, if that person was really resentful of Grandpa Zhou at first, how did he end up getting along well with your family? Even if he deliberately approached you, how could he use that to climb the social ladder?

Grandpa Zhou isn't stupid. You can't see someone's true colors from a distance, so how could someone you're in daily contact with be so easily fooled? It's obvious something else happened later.

Like a sudden blow to the head, Zhou Yichen immediately sensed that something was amiss. He was too young to notice it, but his grandfather certainly could.

Seeing that he had begun to ponder deeply, Chu Xin lazily shifted into a comfortable position in her chair, looking as if she had no bones.

"By the way, what did Gao Ziyou say to you that made you immediately doubt Grandpa Zhou's old friend?"

Recalling the past, and combined with what Gao Ziyou had said, Zhou Yichen felt a dull ache in his heart.

He said in a deep voice, "Gao Ziyou said that when they rushed to the point of conflict, they found that the conflict with the Indian side was not serious. Yang Feng was cautious and did not approach the border line immediately, but wanted to understand the specific situation before making arrangements."

Since it is a border area, a sudden increase in troops on one side could give the other side the impression that they want to cause trouble. In addition, due to language differences, a large-scale armed conflict or even a gunfight could easily break out.

But then another call came in, saying that the situation at the front was not good and that a conflict might break out. Yang Feng was instructed to lead his team to rush up and not allow Indian personnel to enter Chinese territory.

As a result... as soon as the Indian personnel saw them charging forward armed with live ammunition, they didn't give the translator any time to react and immediately ordered them to open fire...

Despite Yang Feng and his men's desperate counterattack, they were ultimately hampered by the enemy's advance, and losing the initiative is the most fatal thing on the battlefield.

And that's exactly what happened. The Indian side suffered heavy losses, and Yang Feng and his men all died. Only Gao Ziyou survived because he was provoked into a frenzy and fought back recklessly.

He was very close to the communications officer at the time, so he roughly knew the contents of the call. When he was rescued and regained consciousness, he immediately realized that something was very wrong with that mission.

However, because Yang Feng and I were close, he didn't say anything during the subsequent investigation, but he always remembered the surname of the person who made the phone call, Lu.

"Last name is Lu?"

Chu Xin thought back for a moment and realized that her social circle in Kyoto was not wide, and she really didn't know of any family with the surname Lu.

Zhou Yichen took a deep breath and explained to her, "You don't know him. He was later transferred to the diplomatic security department and was rarely in the country. Later, due to the political movement, his identity became very sensitive, and he almost cut off all social interactions except for his regular work."

Actually, his position was that of a section chief, the highest rank in the security department, which wasn't low at all. Section Chief Lu Jianshe was quite famous for his work in diplomatic security back then.

Now that I think about it, Chu Xin was right. People like that are outstanding in their jobs and wouldn't do something that could easily ruin their careers.

"It seems we need to dig deeper. We'll make plans once we get back to Kyoto. Haste makes waste."

Chu Xin made the decision for Zhou Yichen; their most important task right now was to deal with the situation in Ning City.

However, before they could return to Beijing, a series of troubles began to arise, constantly prolonging their return.
