Lu Liang arrived quickly.
"I knew you'd be fine. I was shocked when I heard the news."
He said as he hugged Guo Xuyang.
"Did you tell the boss?"
"No. I came straight here after I got back.
What's Xiao Yun's situation?"
Guo Xuyang asked.
"I don't know the specifics either.
When Fatty called me that day, I tried to tell him not to worry.
But when they found Xiao Yun's phone in the moat, I knew something was wrong.
Especially when I heard you were in trouble, I became more suspicious that someone was deliberately targeting your family."
"Who told you I was in trouble?"
"The boss. He called me yesterday.
He said you went missing on a mission and asked me to tell him if I saw you."
"Don't tell him I'm back."
Guo Xuyang said urgently.
"Why not tell him?
Do you have a misunderstanding with him?"
"It's not what you think. You'll know when we get back.
Let's let the situation develop first."
"What are you talking about? You're making it all so confusing.
What's going on?"
"I can't explain it clearly right now.
Just wait for the results.
Let's go, we're going to pick up Xiao Yun."
"Where is she?
I'm still confused."
"Just follow what I say."
Guo Xuyang said and got into the car.
Lu Liang followed Guo Xuyang's directions and drove the car to the foot of Hero Mountain.
"Why did you bring me here?
Could Xiao Yun be in this place?"
Lu Liang asked, puzzled.
"We'll know once we go up and take a look."
Guo Xuyang didn't explain further, but led him to a courtyard.
"Knock on the door, don't tell me you don't know what this place is?"
"How is that possible? Why would Xiao Yun be here?"
"Do you want to knock or should I?"
Guo Xuyang asked him.
"I'll do it."
Lu Liang said and pressed the doorbell.
"Old Yu, open the door."
"Who is it?" asked a middle-aged man.
"It's me, Lu Liang."
"What are you doing here? Looking for a drink?"
The middle-aged man said as he opened the door.
Seeing Guo Xuyang, he glanced at him, "Who is this?"
"He is..."
"Master Yu, it's not proper to have us standing here talking.
Aren't you going to invite us in?"
Guo Xuyang interrupted Lu Liang's introduction.
"Ah, please come in. I was just caught up in the conversation."
Old Yu said, shifting his body.
"This small courtyard of yours is really well-kept."
Lu Liang said as he looked around the courtyard.
"You know me, I don't have many places to go. I just come here to tidy up when I have free time.
Aren't you working today? Shouldn't you be at the office at this time?
Why did you decide to come to my place?"
Old Yu asked.
"It's the craving for alcohol.
I heard you have good wine here, so I came."
"You're right, I do have good wine here.
They just gave it to me. We'll have a couple of drinks later."
"Definitely. It's been a while since I've been here, hasn't it?"
"It has. At least half a month.
Is this your friend?"
Old Yu asked, looking at Guo Xuyang.
"My brother, I brought him here to drink with you."
Lu Liang said.
"We can talk about drinking later.
Master Yu, can you open the door?"
Guo Xuyang said.
"What door? I don't know what you're talking about."
"I really didn't know you and Brother Liang had such a good relationship, otherwise I wouldn't have brought him here."
Guo Xuyang said with a half-smile.
"I'm afraid you won't even be friends after this."
"Yangzi, what do you mean?
Old Yu fought alongside me, carried guns with me. After you, he's the only one I have in the provincial capital."
Lu Liang still didn't understand, or perhaps didn't want to believe it was true.
"Old Yu, you haven't done anything out of line, have you?"
"I'm not entirely sure what this young man is talking about,"
Old Yu said.
"You, a grown man, need to use that thing?"
Guo Xuyang pointed towards a pile of trash.
It was trash that hadn't been taken out yet, and a rolled-up Anle (a brand of sanitary pad) was conspicuous.
Old Yu hadn't expected Lu Liang and Guo Xuyang to show up at this time.
He had intended to throw out the trash when it got dark.
"Old Yu, did you do it?"
Lu Liang's expression turned grim.
"I don't know what you're talking about?
That's what my daughter used when she came over."
Old Yu still wouldn't confess.
"Brother Liang, it seems I need to get rough with him?"
Guo Xuyang said to Lu Liang.
"Who told you to do this?"
Lu Liang asked Old Yu.
"My brother wouldn't say this without absolute certainty.
You'd better hand her over honestly."
"Brother, it's not that I want to, but I have no choice."
Old Yu sighed when he heard Lu Liang say this.
"As long as the person is fine.
I'm just here to take her. I don't care about your grievances with others."
Guo Xuyang said.
"Please bring her out."
Old Yu looked at Guo Xuyang, then at Lu Liang, and turned to go inside.
"What are you doing? Where are you taking me?"
A woman's voice came out.
Lu Liang recognized it as Xiao Yun's voice.
"Why are you hiding so well?
I've almost turned the entire provincial capital upside down these past few days."
Lu Liang shouted into the room.
"Brother Liang, is that you? Brother Liang.
You finally came. I was almost suffocated these past few days."
Xiao Yun shouted and rushed out of the room.
"Be careful of your eyes."
Guo Xuyang said, taking off his shirt and covering her head with it.
"Yangzi? Yangzi, you're here? Wuwuwu..."
Xiao Yun could no longer control herself, she sobbed loudly in Guo Xuyang's arms.
"Alright, alright, let's go home. Don't cry."
Guo Xuyang comforted Xiao Yun and then looked at Old Yu.
"Thank you for taking care of her during this time, and thank you for not making things difficult for her."
"I'm sorry, I truly had no choice."
Old Yu glanced at Guo Xuyang, then at Lu Liang, as if apologizing and explaining at the same time.
"Let's go. I'll treat you to a big meal when we get back."
Guo Xuyang picked up Xiao Yun and said to Lu Liang.
"You're amazing."
Lu Liang nodded at Old Yu, turned, and followed Guo Xuyang to the car.
He couldn't help but ask, "Yangzi, how did you know Xiao Yun was here?"
"Did you forget what I do?
If I can't even find someone, I might as well go home and drink gruel."
"Are you insulting me? I never imagined Xiao Yun would be hidden in a place like this?"
"If that's how you think, there's nothing I can do."
Guo Xuyang said with a smile.
"Let's find a place to wash first. Xiao Yun smells awful right now."
"You smell awful."
Xiao Yun couldn't help but pinch him hard.
