A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

Chapter 716: Complete the mission under the young master's nose

Two days later, school started, and Guier was a little relieved because the school was crowded and provided a good cover.

On the first day of school, the students were all excited. The classroom was bustling with activity. Everyone was talking about where they had gone to play during the summer vacation and what had happened recently.

Gui'er was just about to sneak off to the printing room when Zhou Huifang grabbed her and said she had something to tell her. She quietly pulled her to a corner and said with a mysterious smile, "Okay, we'll graduate after this year. He said they'll get married after I graduate."

Gui Er was stunned for a moment before she remembered this. She said to Zhou Huifang sincerely, "Then I really have to congratulate you."

Zhou Huifang smiled happily and said to her, "Don't tell anyone about this yet. After all, things will change before the end."

Guier nodded.

Then, while no one was paying attention, she went to the printing room. Xu Wenjie was there. He looked up warily when he saw someone coming, but when he saw it was her, he relaxed and said with a smile, "I'm busy printing propaganda materials. This time, I'm going to distribute them to the nearby countryside to promote the anti-Japanese war. When I'm done, can you help me take them to the contact point after school? Go back to class first and don't let anyone see you."

When Guier heard that there was a task, she was both excited and nervous. Fortunately, today was the first day of school and the other students were also very interested.

After waiting for a long time for school to be over, Zhou Huifang asked her to go shopping.

Guier quickly said, "Next time, I have something to do at home today." Then she went to the printing house to get the promotional materials that Xu Wenjie had printed, hid them in her schoolbag, and came out.

As I walked out of the school gate, I didn't see Acheng. Instead, Sha Yanyao was waiting for me at the school gate in a car.

Gui'er's heart skipped a beat, but she forced herself to remain calm, walked forward and greeted him with a smile, "Brother, why are you picking me up today? Is there something going on at home?"

Sha Yanyao smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law is watching you too closely. I came here under the pretext of picking you up. I haven't visited Jinbao and my eldest son in such a long time. Can you accompany me?"

It turned out that he was using her as an excuse to visit Jinbao. Gui'er had no way of refusing. She suddenly had an idea and said to Sha Yanyao, "We haven't been there for so long, why don't we bring some souvenirs? Didn't mother say that the cakes at Daxinglong Bakery are delicious last time? Let's go buy some."

Sha Yanyao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Girls are more careful."

So the two of them took a car and first came to Daxinglong Bakery.

Sha Yanyao hadn't seen Jinbao for a while and was particularly concerned about him. Guier could have gone up and bought it herself, but he insisted on choosing it himself.

Gui'er had no choice but to follow him with her schoolbag on her back, looking for an opportunity to act.

There were quite a lot of people choosing pastries in the store, and Sha Yanyao was standing behind the crowd waiting for the waiter to be free to help him get the pastries.

Gui'er followed him and looked around the store, looking for the middle-aged woman she had met last time.

Suddenly, a person came out from the workshop at the back, carrying a large basin of freshly made pastries. It was the middle-aged woman.

"Dear guests, this is freshly baked mung bean cake. Who would like one?"

"I, I, give me a dozen."

"I'll take half a dozen, too."

The freshly baked mung bean cakes were still fragrant and attracted many customers to buy them.

While monitoring every move of the customers in the store, Guier stood out from the crowd, walked to an empty corner and stared at the middle-aged woman.

Soon, the middle-aged woman noticed her.

Guier winked at her, and while the customers were busy buying snacks, she quickly took out the printed materials wrapped in brown paper from her schoolbag and placed them under a tray in the corner.

The middle-aged woman nodded slightly.

Gui'er looked around again to make sure no one noticed her, especially Sha Yanyao.

At this moment, Sha Yanyao was fiercely competing with others for the freshly baked pastries. Mung bean cakes were the best-selling item in this store and a must-buy. He also bought butterfly cakes, almond pies, and shaqi ma. After hesitating for a long time, he bought two full bags and walked out of the crowd sweating profusely.

Gui'er hurriedly stepped forward and helped get it.

At this time, there were fewer customers in the store. The middle-aged woman turned and walked into the inner room. When she passed by the tray, she skillfully took the information out from under the tray. She did it so quickly that no one in the store noticed it except Guier.

"Guier, now that we've bought enough gold, you should have no objection, right?" Sha Yanyao said with a slightly nervous smile.

"Don't worry, she will definitely be very happy. Let's go quickly. If we go back late, the sister-in-law will ask again."

Gui'er urged Sha Yanyao. Xu Wenjie had trained her before that although she had to be present at every contact point, she was not allowed to stay there for too long.

The two returned to the car and Sha Yanyao started the car.

Guier subconsciously glanced towards Daxinglong and saw a familiar figure walking into the store.

It was a young man in a high-end suit. The middle-aged woman in the store greeted him warmly and led him into the inner room.

Normally guests don't need to go into the inner room. Gui'er keenly felt that this person was most likely a comrade who was going to meet someone. The back figure was too familiar, and she couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

"Guier, what's wrong?" At this time, the car had started and was moving forward. Sha Yanyao turned his head to look at Guier and found that she was staring at Daxinglong, so he asked curiously.

"Oh, nothing? These snacks smell so good. I should have bought an extra portion and brought it back to our house to eat." Gui'er thought quickly.

"It's my fault. I didn't think of it for a moment. Let's go back to the mansion and send someone to buy it later." Sha Yanyao said with a smile without any suspicion.

Gui'er wore a smile on her face, but she was actually very nervous. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Sha Yanyao hadn't noticed Daxinglong. She glanced in the rearview mirror and saw the young man had turned around. It was actually Zhou Huifang's boyfriend, Gao Zinong. He seemed to sense Gui'er's gaze and smiled at her.

Gui'er was so scared that he quickly lowered his head and looked away. Fortunately, Sha Yanyao was concentrating on driving and didn't notice him. The car soon drove far away from Daxinglong.

They came to the downstairs of the apartment where Jinbao lived.

From a distance, Jinbao was seen holding her eldest son, wearing loose maternity clothes, accompanied by her mother-in-law and nanny, standing on the side of the road below the apartment building, as if waiting for someone.

"Brother, have you sent someone to notify Jinbao?"

"No, your sister-in-law kept a close eye on me. When I was in Jiangcheng, I couldn't find a chance to call back to Nanjing no matter what. So Jinbao probably didn't know we were back."
