Transmigration: Flirted with My Childhood Sweetheart
Chapter 247 - 246 I Know, You Can’t Bear to Leave

Chapter 247: Chapter 246 I Know, You Can’t Bear to Leave

Hiding, it was impossible to hide.

Zhou Xu pondered, since Bai Bo’s people had showed up, Lin Nianhe’s strategy could be considered successful, there was no need to continue to keep Su Yuncheng in the dark.

So, he told Su Yuncheng about the phone call Lin Nianhe had had with Bai Bo before.

At the end he said: "Brother Cheng, Miss Lin said it would take at least half a month to get any news, and it’s only been five days..."

Su Yuncheng clenched his fists.

This little bastard really had the ability, even making Zhou Xu help her deceive him.

Once this matter was settled, he must take good care of her.

He thought so in his heart, but what he said was: "It’s not your side that’s the problem, it should be my side that leaked."

"Huh?" Zhou Xu couldn’t believe his ears.

What a joke. Could his Brother Yuncheng make a mistake?

Zhou Xu’s shock received no response as Su Yuncheng hung up the phone.

Sun Bo frowned in puzzlement: "What’s the matter?"

Su Yuncheng continued to dial a number, and replied: "Old Zhou just got back to me, saying his people saw Bai Bo’s thugs go to the photo studio, and they also arranged train tickets."

Sun Bo shook his head, not agreeing: "That doesn’t necessarily mean they’re after Miss Lin, they do this back and forth for their goods too."

Su Yuncheng looked up at him: "Last time Nianhe came to the provincial city, I took a photo with her."

He really hadn’t considered before that the photo studio’s photographer would have dealings with Bai Bo, since it had nothing to do with the black market money at all.

Sun Bo’s shaking head froze, and he couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

The extent of Bai Bo’s connections was way beyond his imagination.

He was about to ask more, but Su Yuncheng was already speaking into the phone:

"Hello, could you please find Comrade Lin Nianhe for me?"

The waiting time was long and torturous, Su Yuncheng felt like an hour had passed when Lin Nianhe’s cheerful voice finally came through the phone: "Brother Yuncheng? Why are you calling me at this time?"

Her soft tone, with a slightly rising intonation, sounded like she was being coquettish.

Su Yuncheng’s rigid tone instantly softened: "Nianhe, request leave from the brigade commander right now. Zhou Xu and Feng Wei will come to pick you up later, follow them."

"Hmm?" Lin Nianhe paused momentarily, then quickly understood what had happened, she asked excitedly, "Is Bai Bo here?"

The excitement in her voice gave Su Yuncheng a headache.

He barely convinced himself that now was not the time to lecture her, and said, "No, it’s his people. They’ve got fifty train tickets to Lan County, but the actual number of people could be more. First go with Zhou Xu to the police station; it’s safe there."

"There are quite a few people." Lin Nianhe asked, "When are the train tickets for?"

"Today, around four o’clock in the afternoon to Lan County."

"Oh, then tell Eldest Brother Zhou and the others to come pick me up in the afternoon, I still have classes."

Su Yuncheng: "..."

He didn’t know how other girls would handle this situation, but his little lady was calm and collected, and even wanted to finish her classes before hiding.

Su Yuncheng pressed his temple, lowering his voice: "Nianhe, don’t take this lightly, this is a life-threatening matter."

"I know, it’s Bai Bo’s life we’re after," Lin Nianhe laughed carelessly, "Brother Yuncheng, you really don’t have to worry about me, I’m so popular in the village. They think they can take me away from amongst three hundred people with just a few dozen? What a pipe dream."

Su Yuncheng: "..."

He was conflicted now. He wanted to say something serious to make her stop underestimating the situation, but was afraid of scaring her if he said too much.

Lin Nianhe continued: "By the way, Brother Yuncheng, don’t act on Bai Bo right after those people leave. At least let me... at least let Eldest Brother Zhou and others test and interrogate those people to see if they really are Bai Bo’s key lackeys."

Su Yuncheng rubbed his forehead, his voice filled with helplessness: "Nianhe, you are the one in danger right now."

"But you will settle me in a safe place, won’t you?"

Su Yuncheng involuntarily straightened up a bit more, replying very earnestly, "Yes, even if I’m not here, nothing will happen to you, I guarantee it."

"Then what do I have to be afraid of?" Lin Nianhe chuckled, "Brother Yuncheng, we’ve come this far, we can’t give up all our previous efforts now."

Su Yuncheng knew he couldn’t win an argument with Lin Nianhe, he always knew.

He calmed his mind, wanting to say something else, but Lin Nianhe spoke again, this time, her voice very serious:

"Brother Yuncheng, if I were in your shoes, or your comrade-in-arms, would you recklessly proceed to arrest Bai Bo without being fully prepared? You know, what I’m suggesting is the most suitable approach for now."

Su Yuncheng was at a loss for words: "Nianhe, I..."

"I know, you can’t bear it," Lin Nianhe smiled again.

Su Yuncheng’s ears turned red, and he unconsciously glanced at Sun Bo who was sipping tea and watching the fun.

Sun Bo’s mouth was curved in a smile, actually still smiling.

Su Yuncheng cleared his throat, speaking rapidly: "I won’t act immediately, but you must go to the police station with Zhou Xu and the others right away."

Lin Nianhe: "Okay, I’ll do as you say."

Such a docile little demeanor, as if she could really be obedient.

After hanging up the phone, Su Yuncheng turned to Sun Bo: "Can you still smile?"

Sun Bo spread his hands, utterly composed: "I think Miss Lin is right, though there are some sudden emergencies, the situation is improving. Bai Bo has a total of over two hundred men under him, and now a quarter of them are gone, probably the capable fighters... Everything is moving in a positive direction, why wouldn’t I be able to smile?"

Su Yuncheng couldn’t be bothered to argue with him, knitting his brow as he asked for the car: "Lend me the car for a few days."

Sun Bo wasn’t smiling now: "What for? I have to go to a meeting tomorrow, you can’t expect me to walk there, can you?"

Ever since he assigned Su Yuncheng the mission, he had already lost weight from walking!

Su Yuncheng: "Brigade Commander Sun, the greater good must take precedence."

Sun Bo: "..."

So in his view, if he didn’t lend the car to Su Yuncheng, he would seem to be the one who was unreasonable?

...

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nianhe calmed herself for three minutes at the brigade headquarters, then she went back to the village school as if nothing had happened, continuing to teach her students.

After finishing a Chinese lesson, Lin Nianhe then dropped the chalk and went to look for Principal Wu to request a day off.

She indeed couldn’t stay at the brigade headquarters, and even less could she remain at the village school, lest an incident involve the villagers and the children.

"Principal, I need to take a day off," Lin Nianhe said straightforwardly.

Principal Wu saw Lin Nianhe’s seriousness and became nervous unconsciously: "What happened? Did something come up?"

"Yeah, I need to go to the police station to assist the Public Security officers in a case," Lin Nianhe spoke the truth, "I probably won’t be back tonight, and if I’m not back by tomorrow morning, you’ll have to help me arrange for another teacher to substitute."

Principal Wu’s brows furrowed even more tightly, she reached out and held Lin Nianhe’s hand: "Nianhe, tell me clearly what’s going on. Don’t be afraid, I’ll stand up for you."

The rough hands were firmly holding Lin Nianhe’s, Principal Wu’s eyes full of sincerity.

Lin Nianhe felt warmth in her heart, she lifted her lips into a smile, and said, "It’s really nothing serious, it’s just that when I went to the provincial city earlier, I helped the Public Security officers catch a thief, and the thief has gotten out. The Public Security officers are afraid for my safety, that’s why they want me at the police station, for my protection."

Principal Wu believed her seeing her composed expression.

She first breathed a sigh of relief, then couldn’t help but scold her: "With your delicate arms and legs, why push yourself? What if they really seek revenge? You... I can’t leave either, I’ll go find Hongzi to accompany you."

"No need, no need," Lin Nianhe quickly held her back, "Let Wu Genmao and Cao Shijian accompany me. They are fast runners, both signal-sending and thief-catching can be handy."

Principal Wu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "That’s also a good idea, those two kids are trustworthy, they can protect you... Huh? Where are they? How come they didn’t come today?"
