Chapter 879: Chapter 879 Gunshots on a Rainy Night 10

The farewell ceremony only lasted two hours, and afterward, the military from S Province sent people to escort the body of the martyred soldier back to his hometown for burial.

Watching the car leave the funeral home, He Zhilan felt her heart sinking gradually, "Brother, from now on, we will never ever see Niu Rang again. When I first arrived in S Province and saw Niu Rang with his ruffian gangster demeanor, it felt like a dream."

He Zhilan repeated "never ever" twice. As she spoke, she became somewhat choked up, "Brother, have we made any progress with the clues Niu Rang left behind? Have the experts not responded yet?"

"No, the experts are still trying to crack it," He Teng replied, just about to hail a taxi for He Zhilan to return to the hotel, when he turned his head and saw Gu En appear like a ghost across the street.

He Teng simply glanced at Gu En with scrutiny. Seeing that Gu En just stood there for a while, clearly having seen both He Teng and He Zhilan but pretending not to, she got into a car after a little while.

"It’s true that enemies often cross each other’s paths, the haunting spirit just won’t dissipate!" He Zhilan muttered quietly, "The city is so big, why do I have to run into her every few days?"

"When did she arrive in S Province?" He Teng asked in confusion.

"I have no idea, the day you and Kang Xing just arrived, I ran into her and Lan Song together. Has she been in S Province since graduating from university?" He Zhilan asked.

"I’m not sure, in any case, just keep your distance from her," He Teng advised, then finally hailed a taxi for He Zhilan to return to the hotel, while he left to see Xing Ye and take care of other matters.

Not long after He Zhilan got back to the hotel, Lin Chan called to inquire about the progress of the perfume research and development in S Province, and also to ask when He Zhilan would return to the capital since she wanted to celebrate her birthday.

He Zhilan’s birthday was close to the Spring Festival, in the twelfth lunar month. This was the exact time found by Lin Chan’s parents after searching, but He Zhilan always insisted on not celebrating this birthday, and instead celebrated the one arranged by the He Family. However, she couldn’t win against Lin Chan, who was wealthy and insisted on giving her two gifts a year.

"I don’t want any gifts, getting them twice a year is too much, and I don’t feel anything special anymore!" He Zhilan laughed, "By the way, do you know what Gu En has been doing since graduating from university?"

"She graduated from a teachers’ college, but didn’t become a teacher. Oddly enough, she didn’t follow the Gu Family’s arrangement to enter any unit either. I really don’t know what exactly she’s doing. However, I did notice her being particularly close with Ding Long," Lin Chan said, "A few days ago, when I was out for a social event, I saw her and Ding Long drinking together, surrounded by what seemed like clients."

"Did she stay in the capital after graduation? I ran into her in S Province and thought she had been here since graduation," He Zhilan said.

"The Gu Family is in the capital, so of course she’d stay there. How should I put it, in the capital she can call the shots. If she went to S Province, that’s Xing Ye’s territory, what would she be doing there?" Lin Chan sneered sarcastically, "However, I didn’t know she went to S Province recently. She didn’t cause you trouble, did she? Be careful of her, who knows if she’s become even more twisted over the years."

"When I first got here Lan Song had people stir up trouble in Hou Village, but that’s been resolved. I don’t know if Gu En was behind it, but the tactics were too amateurish." He Zhilan laughed, really looking down on such clumsy methods. Knowing that Gu En was staying in the capital and not in S Province, she wasn’t worried that if she arranged things well and left, Gu En would cause trouble here. Perhaps, Gu En’s stay in S Province might even be shorter than hers.
