Chapter 861: Arrival At Last
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After visiting Lin Miao at prison, Zhang Mei set her sights on the capital. However, the thought of the long journey ahead gave her pause. She was a lone woman and the road was fraught with danger. She had just had a heated argument with Gu Shan, and she knew better than to expect any help from him. Yet, she was not bothered by his indifference. She had her own ways of managing.
Zhang Mei sought out Gong Zhan’s secretary, Mo Li, and asked her to accompany her to the capital. “Mo Li,” she said, “you are my son-in-law’s secretary. Given the trouble he’s in, it’s only right that you come with me. Perhaps you could also arrange for a couple of his guards to escort us.” freewebnøvel.com
Mo Li was surprised that Zhang Mei had approached her, but then she realized that Zhang Mei was counting on her ability to command the guards. It was a mutually beneficial arrangement, as Mo Li had her eyes on the status that came with being Zhang Mei’s confidant.
Upon hearing of Gong Zhan’s predicament, Mo Li had been fretting over how to take leave and make her way to the capital. Now, with a valid reason handed to her on a silver platter, she had no reason to refuse. That very day, Zhang Mei and Mo Li, accompanied by two guards, set off for the capital.
Meanwhile, at the capital’s train station, Gu Zi and her party had endured several days of jostling on the train and had finally arrived.
Su Li, looking at the train station that was even larger than the one in Guangcheng City, was filled with excitement. He wanted to run ahead, but remembering his mother’s worry, he obediently held the hand of a guard as they exited the station.
No sooner had they stepped out than two military vehicles pulled up in front of them. From each vehicle, a soldier clad in uniform disembarked, their imposing presence undeniable. However, as they approached Gu Zi, their demeanor softened into respect. “Madam,” they greeted, “we are Commander Su’s security team, here to escort you to the guesthouse. Please, get in the car.”
The two soldiers, though maintaining a professional exterior, were inwardly astounded. Their commander’s wife was incredibly beautiful and exuded an air of elegance. They had never seen a woman so stunning, even more so than Miss Hu Jie. And she looked so young, surely much younger than Commander Su?
Behind closed doors, they speculated about the kind of extraordinary woman who could effortlessly win over their military region’s war wolf. A woman who had made the war wolf give up his power and risk his life just to return to her side. Now that they had seen her, they agreed: she was indeed worth it.
