Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 773: 773 stay

Zeng Yaozu nodded, ”Xiao Su is truly a generous person. That’s how it should be.”

”Yuanyuan wouldn’t take unimportant people and things to heart.”

Zeng Hongling still had a certain understanding of Su Yuanyuan.

”Let’s have Director Zhang stay a bit longer. Yixin, you’re responsible for hosting. Your sister’s matters are almost ready.”

”Okay, I got it.”

During dinner, Zeng Yaozu tried his best to persuade Zhang Chunsheng to stay.

”Old Mr., even if you hadn’t said anything, I wouldn’t have left. I know Zeng Hongling’s wedding day is soon, and since I’m here, I will definitely attend the wedding before leaving.”

”That’s great, thank you, Director Zhang.”

”Old Mr., you can just call me Zhang Chunsheng.”

Zeng Yaozu readily agreed.

The next day, after Yang Liulang came over, the two got acquainted.

Yang Liulang felt that this Zhang Chunsheng was definitely unusual; his demeanor was different, though his aura was white.

Knowing that Zhang Chunsheng was attending their wedding, he invited him to visit the Yang Family.

”Thank you, Mr. Yang, but I would rather have Yixin accompany me around.”

He came mainly to spend more time with Su Yuanyuan, as there wouldn’t be such an opportunity again in the future.

Even if it’s only three meals together, that already makes him very satisfied. He allowed himself a month’s indulgence.

After all, this is the place where Zeng Yixin grew up, and he’s very familiar with it. Every day, he takes Zhang Chunsheng around to the famous spots here and there.

A week passed. Zhang Chunsheng suddenly realized how wonderful these days were, and now he understood why Su Yuanyuan didn’t want to be confined.

Su Yuanyuan also noticed. Zhang Chunsheng had become much more cheerful.

That morning, after breakfast, Zeng Yixin and another person went out, and Su Yuanyuan stayed in the study reading.

”Xiao Su, someone from the police station is looking for you.”

Su Yuanyuan was quite puzzled about why the police would be looking for her. She put down her book and came out.

”Comrade, is there something you need?”

”Are you Su Yuanyuan?”

”Yes, I am.”

”Mr. Su, there’s a call from the Capital. They want you to take the call.”

Su Yuanyuan paused for a moment, ”Okay, thank you, comrade.”

”Xiao Su, I’ll go with you,” Zeng Zhixuan offered.

Su Yuanyuan felt a bit warmed. He was worried about something happening to her and wanted to accompany her.

”Thank you, Uncle Zeng.” She didn’t reject such warmth.

The two of them headed to the police station together.

”Mr. Su, you’ll need to wait. The call is expected in about an hour, there’s fifteen minutes left.”

Su Yuanyuan nodded and sat down to wait.

Zeng Zhixuan couldn’t go inside, so he sat at the door waiting.

The Zeng Family’s reputation was well-known here, so Zeng Zhixuan naturally had a seat.

After fifteen minutes, the phone on the table rang.

Su Yuanyuan picked it up, ”This is Su Yuanyuan.”

”Sister-in-law, it’s me, Daqing. Has Director Zhang arrived yet?”

”Yes, Daqing. Is there something wrong? Why call?”

”Sister-in-law, it’s like this, Chengzi and Da Linzi have been out of contact for five days. Their mission site is not far from you.

Letting Director Zhang have a look would definitely be faster.”

”Alright. Does Director Zhang know the specific location?”

”Yes, he knows.”

”Alright, I will let him know.”

”Sister-in-law, are you okay?”

”I’m fine.” Without saying anything more, Su Yuanyuan hung up the phone, thanked the person, and quickly headed back.

When she got home, Zeng Hongling noticed Su Yuanyuan didn’t look very well and chose not to ask questions, suspecting it was work-related and not something they could know.

When Zhang Chunsheng and Zeng Yixin returned, Su Yuanyuan called him into the study.

”Daqing called this morning, saying Chengzi and Da Linzi have been out of contact for five days.”

Zhang Chunsheng’s smile froze, ”I understand. I’ll leave first then.”

Su Yuanyuan didn’t know if Zhang Chunsheng had ever been on such missions, thinking that if he were responsible here, his skills shouldn’t be lacking.

”Okay, be careful. If it caused two people to lose contact, it must not be a small matter.”

”Su Yuanyuan, come with me. Although I’m in charge of the garrison, I rarely executed missions before. I’m close by now, and gathering others is unrealistic.”

After saying that, Zhang Chunsheng felt a bit ashamed. It wasn’t fear of death that concerned him but rather the worry of delaying the rescue.

Su Yuanyuan was hesitant to get involved, but it was a matter of two people’s safety.

”You should know my combat skills aren’t great. Alright, let’s go take a look together.”

”Thank you. With you, I feel more confident.”

Zhang Chunsheng, in fact, wanted to say he’d protect her, but the words never came out because even he didn’t believe it.

The two went to pack their bags separately. After coming out, Zeng Hongling held her hand, ”Yuanyuan, are you coming back?”

”Yes, I’m just going to help a friend with something small. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely make it to your wedding.”

”Alright, I believe you. Yuanyuan, if you don’t come back, I’ll wait for you in the Capital.”

Su Yuanyuan nodded with a smile, ”Okay, if I don’t return, wait for me there.”

”Yuanyuan, I’ve already made the meal. Can’t you eat before you go?”

”Su Yuanyuan, you stay, I’ll find a car and come back to pick you up.”

After Zhang Chunsheng left, Zeng Hongling frowned, ”It’s all because of him, otherwise you wouldn’t need to risk yourself.”

”That’s not it. It’s nearby, even if he wasn’t here, they would have called me.”

”Anyway, I think it’s all because of him.

Yuanyuan, you eat; I’ll go make pancakes, and you can eat them on the car.”

With that, Zeng Hongling hurried off to the kitchen to make pancakes, worried about Su Yuanyuan going hungry.

Zhang Chunsheng arrived swiftly with the car. Without having eaten, the two took off.

Actually, Zeng Yixin wanted to accompany them, but Su Yuanyuan refused; it wasn’t suitable for him.

After his words, even the old man of the Zeng Family’s expression changed. Indeed, the old man couldn’t let the Zeng Family’s only man do dangerous things.

Even though it wasn’t far, it would still take three days to get there.

On the way, Zhang Chunsheng explained the mission.

Listening to it, it didn’t really sound dangerous, but why did the two lose contact?

”The geographical landscape there is very complex. Finding them will be very challenging for us.”

What exactly the task entailed, Zhang Chunsheng didn’t say, and Su Yuanyuan didn’t ask; as long as they could find the two people, it would suffice.

The two took turns driving and arrived in less than three days. Seeing the mountains ahead, Su Yuanyuan sighed internally, realizing that even without enemies, it was dangerous. Just finding a path would surely be challenging?

Zhang Chunsheng hid the car well, and the two of them, carrying their luggage, headed into the mountains together.
