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

Chapter 509: What's thrown away is the child, what's raised is the placenta?

Gu Beizhan didn't know who the boss was, but he was currently tormented by a deep sense of guilt that he had nowhere to confide in, making it difficult for him to eat or sleep.

Upon hearing Xiao Zhang's words, he didn't know what he was thinking, but he blurted out, "Who is your boss, and how similar is he to me?"

Chu Xin didn't stop Xiao Zhang. Her nervousness would easily arouse suspicion. Besides, it was impossible for Xiao Zhang to tell a stranger everything about his boss.

Even if this stranger looks a lot like his boss, his professional ethics wouldn't allow him to lose control of his mouth.

"Ah, I'm sorry, comrade. I was just too surprised. Please forgive me if I offended you in any way. Please forgive me for not being able to tell you about my boss."

Sure enough, after the initial surprise, Xiao Zhang quickly realized that he had been too rash.

Gu Beizhan was momentarily distracted upon hearing this. The instant he heard the other party reject him, he suddenly felt a sense of loss, as if he had lost something important.

This feeling was really inexplicable and strange, yet it tugged at his heartstrings.

"Ah... I see. It's not your fault. I was too abrupt in asking the question."

Then he looked at Chu Xin again and saw that she was cold and distant. He guessed that the girl was still a child and was still angry about what happened with the guard Xiao Liu last time.

As a grown man, he couldn't very well argue with a young girl, so he greeted Chu Xin politely and even made a teasing remark.

"Hello, Comrade Xiao Chu. Look at that long face, are you still angry?"

Chu Xin:......

She's not that petty!

Besides, she's already dealt with everyone she needed to deal with. Why is she still holding onto those disgusting people and things? Is she just using them to make herself sick when she's bored?

Bah, they don't even deserve it!

She forced a smile and said, "Comrade Gu is overthinking it. I settle my scores on the spot, and I don't want to waste time on those annoying people and things."

Gu Beizhan: It sounds like he was involved in those people and events.

The young girl is indeed too young; she hasn't considered social etiquette well enough.

Although Gu Beizhan didn't say it aloud, Chu Xin could sense the helpless look in his eyes, as if he were looking at a child. She immediately got goosebumps and told Xiao Zhang to hurry up and leave.

Hey!

What's wrong with her? Even her grandfather, who was over seventy, didn't have such a chilling look in his eyes!

As for why the other party came to the Central Special Branch, she cared even less.

……

Gu Beizhan came to the Central Special Branch specifically to see Elder Ge.

“I know I’m still under supervision and can’t leave Kyoto, but Uncle Ge, I really want to go and visit Yin Yin’s hometown.”

You know her family is all gone, and now Yin Yin… she's gone too. I should go back and visit them on her behalf. My father-in-law and brother-in-law are buried in the local martyrs' cemetery; if I don't go, there will truly be no one to pay their respects.”

Gu Beizhan spoke sincerely, and the expression on his face clearly showed that he was in great pain.

Old Ge sat behind his desk, feeling helpless as he looked at the man, old enough to be a grandfather, with tears in his eyes.

"You called specifically to come see me just for this?"

If he were Old Man Gu, he would have slapped him long ago. Now that the person is dead, you suddenly want to make amends. You've been blind to this for so many years.

How did Old Gu raise such a brat?

Did you never get beaten as a child?

Or was it a case of raising the wrong child from the start, throwing away the baby and raising the placenta instead?

"You've just been released from restrictions and are allowed to move around normally, and you already want to run away to another place? Have you discussed this with your father?"

Gu Beizhan immediately looked troubled.

Old Ge understood immediately. So, he knew his request was inappropriate, yet he bypassed his father to come to him.

Ugh!

Old Ge couldn't help but sigh for his old friend. What kind of son did he raise? He's so old and still acting like a young man!

"The reason why you are still able to remain unharmed and under surveillance at home instead of suffering in prison after such a big incident in your family is all thanks to your father's hard work. He himself was demoted to a retirement job to make ends meet."

Bei Zhan, don't you feel any guilt about this? He's been a veteran revolutionary his whole life, and he's retiring in such a frustrating way, constantly being criticized and gossiped about by some people. Haven't you, as his son, thought about him at all?"

Old Ge's words, though meant as advice, were more like a reprimand, and Gu Beizhan, a man in his fifties, was burning with embarrassment.

"Uncle Ge, I..."
