Chapter 359: The most romantic love words

Even worse, it would put her future life under surveillance from above.

This approach is the worst of the worst!

If there’s a simpler way, why not use it?

After all, she wouldn’t let her partner suffer.

Lin Tang’s eyes relaxed into a smile, "Alright, then I’ll go home and wait for you."

As her words fell, she realized she was still holding Gu Yingzhou’s hand.

Her face suddenly heated up.

She quickly let go of his hand.

Lin Tang cleared her throat, trying to appear as calm as possible, "Ahem... Sorry, I didn’t notice just now."

She didn’t notice the fleeting look of loss in the man’s eyes when she released his hand.

"Mhm, hurry back, I’ll come to find you in a while."

After speaking, Gu Yingzhou gave Lin Tang a charming head pat before turning to head to the Public Security Bureau.

Lin Tang watched his superior figure walk away, her smile sweet and lingering.

Comrade Gu really fulfilled all her imaginations about her other half.

Meeting him was her fortune!

Lin Tang got home, made some Sour Plum Soup, chilled it in the well, and waited for Gu Yingzhou to arrive.

Twenty minutes later, Gu Yingzhou arrived as promised.

"Tangtang..."

Thinking of the news he had just learned, he was filled with complicated feelings.

"Let’s talk about it later. First, go wash your face; I’ll pour you some Sour Plum Soup to drink."

After all, the news wasn’t going anywhere.

Taken aback by her words, Gu Yingzhou felt as if a feather had touched his heart.

Soft and ticklish!

"...Okay," he replied with a low chuckle.

After washing his face and drinking a few sips of the sour and sweet Sour Plum Soup to quench his thirst, Gu Yingzhou felt much more relaxed.

The two sat in the courtyard, face to face.

Lin Tang withdrew her hand from supporting her chin and looked at Gu Yingzhou, "...Speak."

It’s probably not good news.

Gu Yingzhou pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, "I’ve obtained visitation rights, you can see her anytime now."

The way he said it, there was bound to be a twist.

Sure enough.

He continued, "But your aunt has confessed."

Whether you visit or not, it doesn’t really matter anymore.

The verdict depends on the law and the further developments.

Lin Tang’s pupils shrank, her eyes filled with shock.

"...Confessed?"

So that means, her aunt really was involved in a murder?

This... How could this be?!

Gu Yingzhou nodded affirmatively, "Mhm, that’s the information I got."

Lin Tang still couldn’t believe it.

"From the time my aunt was taken away until now, just a few hours have passed, and she’s confessed? Is this a joke?"

The only explanation was that her aunt had long been prepared for the possibility of being caught.

Lin Tang didn’t expect the bad news to come so unexpectedly and spoke with difficulty, "What was the reason? Why did my aunt resort to violence?"

One dead, one seriously injured!

How much hatred does it take for a frail woman to act so brutally!

She couldn’t bear to imagine it.

Lin Tang’s mind was in chaos.

Gu Yingzhou wasn’t very good at comforting young girls.

Watching the young girl frown with worry.

Imitating the way his father would comfort his mother, he awkwardly patted her shoulder.

"There is still a chance for a turnaround, don’t be anxious.

Your aunt’s case is intertwined with a decades-old cold case; maybe we can find a lifeline..."

What he meant by a lifeline was to spare a life.

After all, a life was involved, avoiding the death penalty is possible, but escaping punishment is difficult.

The best outcome might be labor reform, but who knows for how many years.

Lin Tang understood.

But even if that was the result, it wasn’t something her family could afford.

If something happened to her aunt, the third branch of the family is likely to fall apart.

What should Uncle Three, Qingya, and Sister Xiaojing do then?

She sighed deeply.

A bitter smile appeared on her face.

"How could I dare tell my family this kind of news..."

As she spoke, Lin Tang gazed intensely at Gu Yingzhou.

"I want to ask you a question, help me think this through.

Let’s say I developed something very powerful that could improve the soil and double the yield of the fields.

With such a merit, could it offset the mistake my Third Aunt made?"

She had seen this kind of news in the future.

They always seemed more lenient towards special talents.

She didn’t know if it applied to the present...

Gu Yingzhou was taken aback by the question.

Then he couldn’t help but smile with a mix of laughter and helplessness.

In resignation, he said, "...There is no such precedent in the country at the moment."

The girl sure was quick-witted.

But about that soil-improving thing she mentioned?

If it were true, those in charge would probably want to keep her under tight protection.

Lin Tang’s face fell in a second.

"So it’s like that!"

Then, for now, she couldn’t think of any solutions.

Gu Yingzhou loved to see the young girl in her flamboyant and bright state.

Seeing Lin Tang as disheartened as a kitten drenched by rain, his heart softened.

"The situation hasn’t reached a hopeless point, I’m here for you, and the final outcome will be satisfactory," the man said with steady assurance.

That unflappable confidence, like a sturdy mountain, conveyed a full sense of security.

When Lin Tang met Gu Yingzhou’s gentle eyes, her heart melted.

She suddenly realized that ’I am here for you’ was the most romantic phrase in the world.

"Wait for me a moment."

After speaking, Lin Tang got up and returned to her room.

She took out several pieces of paper from a drawer.

Then, without any hesitation, she stepped out of the house.

Lin Tang handed those papers to Gu Yingzhou and said, "This is for you. It’s the potion formula for improving soil I just mentioned. Do with it as you see fit."

It was a token of gratitude!

After all, she and Comrade Gu were just in a courtship, not yet a family, so she couldn’t just take advantage without giving in return.

Using Comrade Gu’s connections was also a form of taking advantage.

Gu Yingzhou looked at the contents on the paper.

He was baffled.

He was a science and engineering guy, quite skilled with mechanics.

But medicine was beyond him.

"Why are you giving this to me?"

Lin Tang smiled with a tilted glance, "It’s nothing much, just a thank-you gift for helping me with my Third Aunt’s situation."

Gu Yingzhou neatly arranged the papers and handed them back.

He said solemnly, "Tangtang, I am your boyfriend, and it is only right for me to help; you don’t need to be so formal."

What’s the use of a boyfriend if not to lend a hand? When would you use one if not in difficult times?

Lin Tang shook her finger in disagreement.

"No, no, no, being a boyfriend isn’t the same as being a husband yet.

If you don’t accept it, I will find my own ways, like submitting this thing to the authorities."

If the bargaining chip isn’t enough, add something else to it.

As long as the chips are enough, there’s nothing that can’t be dealt with."

Gu Yingzhou looked into Lin Tang’s earnest eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.

Then he carefully put away the papers.

Though he conceded, he couldn’t help feeling a bit stifled because of the girl’s formality.

The man kept his expression usual as he lightly pinched Lin Tang’s nose.

"You ah, you know I can’t do anything about you," Gu Yingzhou said with a voice full of helpless indulgence.

His eyes were deep and tender, making hearts pound wildly.

Lin Tang indulged Gu Yingzhou’s action, blinking her lovely eyes.

"I have my own convictions, thank you for indulging them," she said, her eyes shining like stars and brimming with smiles.
