Chapter 748 White Terror
After school, Guier took the rickshaw that Acheng called back to Jinbao Apartment.
She suddenly remembered that when they moved, Cheng and Dingxiang hadn't taken out their luggage, so she asked, "Brother Cheng, what happened to your luggage? Did you get it?"
Ah Cheng smiled and said, "The eldest young master is quite reasonable. He got it after he came back that day."
Gui'er asked again, "Are you used to living at Jinbao's place now? I'm fine with it, but I'm worried that you'll have to share a room with the other servants and it might be hard to get along."
Ah Cheng said nonchalantly, "We men don't mind it, but Ah Xiang doesn't seem to like it. Because the maids living in her room are Jin Bao's trusted servants, and she thinks they are not worthy of being with the rightful masters."
Gui'er sighed and said, "I understand. I'll talk to her later. We're just doing our job. There's no such thing as being serious or not. Don't offend both sides. We're actually the least powerful and still need to rely on others for protection."
Ah Cheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, she's not stupid. She just thought so in her heart and told me, but she didn't show it to anyone else. By the way, I have to remind you that except for the maids and servants who live in the same room with Ah Xiang, the rest of Jin Bao's family are all Madam and Miss Tian's people. I'm afraid they already knew about Jin Bao's pregnancy."
Gui Er smiled and shook her head, saying, "It's strange that someone as domineering as Miss Tian didn't make a scene."
"I find it strange too, but miss, don't forget, the Tian family is descended from a spy chief. What can't they do? So I think it's strange that they are so calm. It's better to be careful and not become a scapegoat."
Gui'er was stunned: "You mean Miss Tian will do that to Jinbao? No way, then big brother won't agree."
Ah Cheng smiled and said, "I'm just guessing. Anyway, we've moved now, and the young master isn't living with us, so it's better to be careful."
As the two were talking, they suddenly saw a group of people running towards them. Ah Cheng said to the rickshaw driver alertly, "Stop, stop. What's going on up ahead?"
Guier also looked forward curiously, and saw that they were all ordinary citizens, old and young, male and female, and there was even a mother carrying a vegetable basket and dragging a few children as she ran for her life.
Ah Cheng grabbed a man and asked, "What happened up ahead?"
"Who knows? We were shopping in a grocery store when a group of people suddenly rushed in and said the store owner was a revolutionary and wanted to arrest everyone shopping inside. Luckily I ran fast, otherwise I would have been shot if I had been caught."
Gui'er's heart sank. She didn't know there was a stronghold here. She used to live in Sha Mansion and rarely came here to visit. She didn't know whether what this person said was true or not.
At this time, all the people running on the road had disappeared without a trace, as if nothing had happened. Only the people in the shops on both sides of the road came out to look around curiously and talk to each other.
Seeing that it was none of their business, Ah Cheng said to the rickshaw driver, "Keep going."
Gui'er's heart was pounding, but she remained calm. When the rickshaw passed by the grocery store, she took a look inside.
There were two men under Sha Yanyao who had been to Sha Mansion standing inside, directing their men to arrest the people in the store. There were also two or three people outside the grocery store keeping watch.
At this time, the two men looked up and saw outside the store, and their eyes met Guier's. They recognized Guier and nodded with a smile. Guier had no choice but to respond with a smile.
The rickshaw pulled her past so quickly that she didn't even have time to see what the person who was caught looked like.
When she returned to the apartment, Jinbao had just come down from playing mahjong upstairs. Seeing that she looked a little off, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Gui'er shook her head and said, "Nothing."
Just as he finished speaking, the cook came back from outside, panting and saying, "Oh my God, that was a close call. We were almost arrested. You almost had no food to eat."
Jinbao asked, "What's wrong? What's going on? You look so flustered."
The cook said, "It's the grocery store at the intersection in front. We usually buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar there. The boss turned out to be a revolutionary, and was arrested by the police today. I was buying salt inside at the time, and the boss handed the salt to me. Before I paid, the police rushed in. Fortunately, I was smart and ran away as soon as I saw something was wrong. If I hadn't run fast, I would have been arrested too. Those who were slow were caught and cried and yelled for their injustice, but no one paid any attention. As for me, I hid in the watch shop across the street for a long time. Seeing that they didn't seem to notice me, I sneaked back." After saying this, he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the cook was among those who had just run away.
Jin Bao asked Gui Er: "Did you run into that when you came back? That's why you look so bad."
Seeing that she couldn't hide it, Gui'er nodded.
Jin Bao smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? He's your eldest brother's man. Your eldest brother is really capable and powerful. I really didn't choose the wrong person."
Gui'er looked at Jinbao's proud face, but felt upset inside.
The next day, when she returned to school, Gui'er told Miss Shen and Xu Wenjie what she had seen, and asked them, "Are they our comrades? I recognized the two leaders who were arresting people there as Sha Yanyao's men. They had been to Sha's mansion before."
Xu Wenjie frowned and said, "I haven't heard that we have a base in that area, but it's possible that our comrades are hiding there, concealing their presence. In that case, they generally wouldn't be discovered. Besides what you've seen, do you have any other detailed information? For example, what are the names of the people who were captured?"
Gui Er shook her head and said, "I've moved to Jin Bao's apartment now. I've only seen Sha Yanyao come over once every few days, and every time he leaves in a hurry. Let alone getting any information, he can't even talk to me for a few words. Next time he comes over, I'll try to find out."
Miss Shen quickly said, "Don't worry, don't be too deliberate. Actually, I've analyzed this with Lao Xu. The Military Commission didn't catch Lao Meng last time, and Director Tian was assassinated in Jiangcheng before. They're definitely looking for compensation, so the numerous operations being deployed now are within expectations. Our superiors told us to stay hidden and not take any action during this period. I guess that's also in response to this situation."
Gui'er sighed and said, "Is this what they call the White Terror? When will it end?"
Xu Wenjie smiled and said, "Hasn't this how we've always come? Comrade, take your time. Don't worry. I'll find a chance to find out who this comrade is. If you can find out, that's best. If not, forget it. Safety is the priority."
