Gu Zhiyin's long slender hands clasped the man's wrist.
Mu Ning's heart skipped a beat and couldn't help but get up.
Gu Zhiyin glanced at her and whispered: "Sit back."
Mu Ning saw comfort in his indifferent eyes. She paused, sat back on her seat, and stared at Gu Zhiyin's hands nervously.
His knuckles turned white, showing that he was exerting force.
The man heard his bones creaking, and his lips trembled in pain, "You..."
Gu Zhiyin turned his head and looked at him expressionlessly.
The man looked so painful that he couldn't speak. His wife was still shouting, "Honey, this man was so arrogant just now. If he doesn't apologize today, this matter will never end with him!"
The man wanted to take his hand out, but Gu Zhiyin held him tightly.
Gu Zhiyin heard the chaotic footsteps. He raised his head and looked towards the end of the carriage. Then he lowered his head, looked at the man and chuckled, "Don't embarrass yourself in front of your wife and children."
With this laugh and these words, the angry man clenched his fist and wanted to punch Gu Zhiyin in the face.
"What are you doing?! Don't do it!"
The chaotic footsteps were the arriving police officers.
They saw a tough-looking man grabbing a gentle man by the collar and punching him. They immediately shouted, "You! Let go of your hands!"
Gu Zhiyin's hand immediately relaxed, and the man was confused. He saw Gu Zhiyin smiling disdainfully at him. Before he could react, he was held down by the policeman, "Be honest, don't move!"
When the woman saw her husband being held down, she hurriedly shouted, "Comrade police, why are you arresting my husband? This man beat me first and injured my child, so my husband..."
"What are you yelling about? We will deal with it together later. Just stand aside for now!"
The woman shut her mouth angrily.
"Are you okay?" the policeman asked.
Gu Zhiyin tugged on his collar, "It's okay."
Seeing that he was dressed with an aura of extraordinary status, the policeman's attitude was much better, "What happened?"
Gu Zhiyinyun glanced at the man lightly, "He wanted to hit me, as everyone in the carriage can testify."
The policeman looked around, and many passengers nodded.
"This man and his wife are both very aggressive. This gentleman just sits here and doesn't do anything. This couple comes up and starts to harass people."
"Yeah, anyway, I saw this woman's husband wanting to beat him."
"I feel so pitiful about this man. He has been bullied by this couple. It seems that educated people really have no way to use violence against ordinary people."
…
The passengers in the carriage all said that Gu Zhiyin was the one who was beaten.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, the woman pulled her child out and said, "Are you all telling lies with your eyes wide open? My child is talking like this, who should I ask to judge?!"
She turned and glared at Gu Zhiyin, "My husband hit you? You tripped my daughter and didn't even apologize. You had that attitude. My husband felt sorry for my mother and I just came to you to reason with you. Besides, did he touch you with a finger?" ?! You’re still confusing right and wrong and saying he hit you! Isn’t this a royal law?”
"Okay, stop talking!" The policeman had a headache from the noise, "You guys come together!"
The couple followed a police officer away.
Gu Zhiyin stood there for a moment, then turned around and saw Mu Ning looking at him eagerly.
He reached out and pressed her head, "It's okay, I'll be back later."
The police officer called them to the dining car section and asked them to show their IDs.
When the police officer saw Gu Zhiyin's ID, his expression changed.
Immediately invite him to sit down and ask the person at the bar to pour him tea.
"No, Comrade Police, why can he sit down?"
"If I don't ask you to speak, then don't make a sound."
The couple was unwilling to do anything but shut up.
The police officer asked in a good manner, "Mr. Gu, what do you want to drink? We have drinks here, coffee, tea..."
Gu Zhiyin interrupted him, "Can I change to a business seat?"
The police officer was stunned and said, "Of course you can, but you have to buy a new ticket."
"Um."
The flight policeman thought for a moment, understood what he meant, and immediately called the flight attendant to upgrade his seat.
When Gu Zhiyin was paying, he caught a glimpse of the little girl from the corner of his eye.
She stood timidly at the corner of the table, just wiping the cut corners of her mouth with paper, and her cheeks were covered with blood.
It no longer bleeds, but it is broken there and looks a bit pitiful.
There were still tears in her eyes, and she stared at the wad of money in Gu Zhiyin's hand with a blank look in her eyes.
Gu Zhiyin looked at her for a long time until the flight attendant took care of it for him.
Before leaving, Gu Zhiyin took another stack of money from his wallet and placed it on the table.
He looked at the little girl and said, "Take her to the hospital. This is to pay for her medical expenses."
The couple looked surprised and disbelieving.
Gu Zhiyin never looked at the couple. His eyes stayed on the little girl for a moment, then got up and left.
The policeman left the couple behind to educate them, "Are you ashamed? I ask you if you are ashamed! I didn't take good care of my children and put the responsibility on others! I'm extorting money!"
"Now that this money has been given to you, do you have the nerve to take it?"
The woman frowned and said, "My child was knocked down and injured by him. If we wanted to settle the matter privately, he should have paid some compensation for the medical expenses."
"Oh, that's how it should be. Do you know who he is? If he wants you two to go to jail, it will be easy!"
The woman was a little scared when she heard this, "Who is he?"
"He is...forget it, he is someone you shouldn't mess with anyway!"
The policeman reprimanded them.
The couple ended up hanging their heads, looking ashamed.
The flight attendant and the flight attendant sent Gu Zhiyin there together. On the way, the flight attendant scratched his head and said, "Mr. Gu, in the situation just now, you don't have to pay them. It's not your responsibility."
Gu Zhiyin looked out the window. The train was entering the tunnel. The windows were dark, reflecting himself. He said without emotion: "I'm not giving it to them."
"Are you feeling sorry for the child?" the police officer said, "You are too enthusiastic, but the couple has evil intentions. I'm afraid they won't necessarily take the child to the hospital even if they take the money."
Gu Zhiyin withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "It doesn't matter."
He wasn't like this before.
Healing the dying and healing the wounded is what a saint should do.
He has no compassion.
It's different now. When he sees the little girl's eyes, he will be touched in his heart. No matter where the money ends up, at least he did what he should do.
Think of it as accumulating good deeds for his dead child.
…
Mu Ning waited for a while, and the flight attendant came over and called her, "Mr. Gu is waiting for you in the third carriage."
The flight attendant helped her get the box and led her over.
The third carriage is a business seat with only six seats. Because the fare is expensive, no one buys it. They are the only ones in the whole carriage.
The man sat in the first row by the window, staring out the window in a daze.
Mu Ning looked at him. He finally didn't feel out of place in this quiet and spacious carriage. He seemed to be born to stay in a superior environment.
"I knew you would come here." Mu Ning sat down next to him, "What are you thinking about."
Gu Zhiyin turned back, looked at her and smiled, "It's nothing."
"How did you handle that matter just now? Are you in trouble?"
"No, it's solved."
Gu Zhiyin held her hand and asked, "Did you scare Ning Ning?"
Mu Ning nodded.
Gu Zhiyin touched her head and said, "I'll be fine."
"No, I'm afraid that the man will be killed by you."
"..."
To be honest, the moment Gu Zhiyin stood up, she was really afraid that he would lose control of his temper and break the man's hand.
"Am I that unreasonable?"
Who broke off the driving instructor's hand last time?
Mu Ning coughed, "Aren't I afraid? After all, that couple was really rude and touched you."
Gu Zhiyin looked at her without saying anything.
In fact, Mu Ning was worried a little too much. Gu Zhiyin was not impulsive or aggressive. His intelligence was greater than his strength. It would be unwise to take action in that situation. He would use other methods to teach them a lesson and make the situation favorable to him. .
More importantly, he didn't want any trouble to affect their trip.
Mu Ning saw that he could finally straighten his legs, "I'm sorry, Uncle Gu, I'd better not save money that I shouldn't have in the future."
Gu Zhiyin looked at her in surprise, "Why do you want to save money for me?"
Mu Ning made a random excuse, "Aren't you a vagrant?"
Gu Zhiyin raised his eyebrows and said, "Did Jiang Yue ask you to stimulate me?"
"Why did you get involved with him again?"
Jiang Yue was so pervasive that he could think of any way to get Gu Zhiyin to return to LM and take over the company.
He picked up the coffee and said in a cold voice, "Didn't you team up with him to cheat me out of 40 million?"
"Uh, how do you know?"
Gu Zhiyin hummed, "You are getting closer and closer to him."
"No, I didn't. I swear, I am loyal to Uncle Gu!"
"Then block him."
"..."
What he said was astonishing.
This is so embarrassing for her, she will have to get along with her in the future.
Mu Ning rolled his eyes and said, "If you give me another 20 million, I will block you."
Gu Zhiyin laughed angrily, "Ning Ning has learned to leave the problem to me."
Mu Ning grinned, and when no one was around, she hooked his neck and blocked his mouth.
She wanted Gu Zhiyin to forget this, and body language was most effective.
As a result, as soon as the tip of her tongue entered, she immediately frowned and pulled out.
"Ugh, it's so painful."
She quickly took a sip of her milk tea, and after washing away the taste, she said righteously, "After you drink your coffee from now on, please rinse your mouth, otherwise I won't kiss you."
"..."
Gu Zhiyin pinched her chin with a dark face and went to her mouth to suck in all the sweetness left in the milk tea.
There was still an hour to go. Mu Ning leaned on his shoulder and used her mobile phone to find the hotel.
With the lessons learned from the past, she booked the best hot spring resort hotel in Tian County.
Then she had to find a driver so that they could be picked up and dropped off wherever they went these days.
Mu Ning found a reliable travel agency. Different models had different prices, so she went directly to the most expensive one.
When we arrived at Tianxian Station, it was already half past five in the afternoon.
This is the terminal station, and people from other carriages are swarming out. Gu Zhiyin pushes his suitcase, and Mu Ning holds his hand and walks slowly off the high-speed train.
There is no elevator in the exit passage of Tian County, so a group of people squeezed in with their luggage.
Gu Zhiyin pulled her and said, "We'll leave later."
Mu Ning nodded, "Okay."
They were far away from the crowd. Gu Zhiyin's cell phone rang, and he whispered: "I want to have a cigarette."
Mu Ning knew he wanted to answer the phone, "Just smoke."
"Then I'll go to the side so I don't smoke you."
"No, the scenery over there is nice. I just wanted to take a couple of photos."
Tian County is like spring all year round. Mu Ning took off his thick coat and asked Gu Zhiyin to hold it for her. He put his hand on the suitcase, took a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
Mu Ning walked a few steps towards the end of the platform. Gu Zhiyin did not let her leave his sight. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Mu Ning behind the smoke while answering the phone.
The beauty that Tian County brings to people is not high-rise buildings, but endless natural scenes.
Mu Ning looked at the wheat fields, mountains, and the fiery sunset in the distance.
This place is really different from the capital. It is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city and the smell of fireworks. All the scenery is clean, far away and extremely beautiful.
She took a few landscape photos, including Gu Zhiyin.
He stood upright on the edge of the platform, his head lowered, talking to the person on the phone, and occasionally raising his elbow to take a puff of cigarette.
The breeze carrying the smell of sunset blew his coat straps and scattered the ashes.
Mu Ning felt that he and Xiyang were a good match today.
By the time Gu Zhiyin finished the call, they were almost gone.
Mu Ning walked over voluntarily, and Gu Zhiyin took her out of the station.
The driver who came to pick them up was a middle-aged man who looked very steady. He helped them carry their luggage and introduced himself with a strong local accent.
"Just call me Lao Wang. Wherever you go these days, I will pick you up and drop you off. You can ask me where you want to go and I will be your tour guide."
Mu Ning replied politely: "Thank you, I'll trouble you then."
"No trouble, it's rare for me to pick up handsome guys and beauties like you." Lao Wang spoke very straightforwardly without any modification.
Mu Ning thought he was warm and simple, so she started chatting with him in the car.
Due to the development of tourism, Tian County has changed a lot in recent years. It is no longer the small and broken county it once was. Therefore, many outsiders come here to do business. After serious commercialization, there will naturally be many phenomena of robbing customers.
Lao Wang was telling them where to go to eat out in a more authentic way, and where to go to spend money without stepping on the trap.
Listening to Lao Wang's chatter, Mu Ning turned to look at the unfamiliar street scene outside the window, feeling a little complicated.
She hasn't been back for twelve years, and the memory of this small county seems to be less profound for her.
But she knew that she had grown up here since she was born, and was later found by Gu Zhiyin and taken to the bustling capital.
It was strange that when she came back here again, she didn't feel like she was home.
It seems that she has taken root in the capital and has been assimilated into the bustling city, and the home she considers...
Mu Ning turned to look at the man beside him.
I found that he was also staring at me.
The sun had gone down and the night was slightly shrouded. She saw that his face was particularly gentle and calm in the last ray of sunset.
Mu Ning took the initiative to hold his hand and whispered in his ear: "Uncle Gu, I'm taking you home."
Gu Zhiyin raised the corners of his lips, "Yeah."
The evening breeze blew in through the half-open car window, bringing with it a touch of red clouds on the horizon.
She saw the smile in his eyes and didn't know how happy she felt.
After arriving at the hotel and checking in, Mu Ning looked at the 90-square-meter viewing suite and thought that something was finally done. At least Gu Zhiyin looked normal and didn't say anything wrong.
It was probably because the high-speed train made him too uncomfortable. As soon as he entered the room, he opened his suitcase and took his clothes to take a shower.
Mu Ning stopped him, "You take a shower now and go out to eat later. Don't you have to take a shower when you come back?"
Gu Zhiyin wrapped his arms around her waist and rubbed her neck, "I'm tired today. How about we eat in the hotel?"
Mu Ning was so frustrated by him that she couldn't help it. She thought for a moment, "Then let's go to the hot spring after dinner?"
Hot springs?
Gu Zhiyin's expression suddenly changed, "No."
