Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 576 Reasonable Yet Unexpected

They drove slowly into the city. Without navigation or a map, and being completely unfamiliar with the area, they asked for directions along the way to the guesthouse.

To make it easier to ask for directions, the car window was rolled down and not rolled back up. At this time, it was nearing evening and there were still quite a few pedestrians on the road. Ge Shaoting rested his chin on his hand and looked at the street scene outside the car with great interest.

Compared to the bustling city lights and traffic of the port, the obvious backwardness of everything in front of him gave him a genuine sense of national peace and prosperity.

Ignoring him, Su Zihang noticed that Du Zhi was also looking out through the glass, so he quietly eased off the accelerator, making the already slow speed even slower.

As a result, the voices of pedestrians outside could be heard from time to time. Occasionally, the three people in the car would hear some gossip about everyday life and couldn't help but become curious. If a passerby suddenly turned a corner and went in a different direction, the person who had been piqued would look back several times with a sense of regret.

Just as they were about to reach their destination, a loud "Stop!" suddenly rang out, and the three people in the car instinctively looked over.

Several people were chasing a man who looked disheveled, but no one bothered to ask him anything.

Because all the people chasing him were wearing red armbands.

Several figures flashed by quickly and disappeared in no time.

The startled passersby all stood still, and only after confirming that those people wouldn't return did they quicken their pace and leave, without any intention of investigating further.

Su Zihang stopped the car almost immediately.

Because the car wasn't going fast to begin with, the impact of the sudden braking only caused the three people in the car to sway slightly. Su Zihang almost immediately reached back to block Du Zhi.

His face was full of guilt. "I'm sorry, I..."

Du Zhi's face was a little pale, but she still patted his hand, smiled and shook her head, "I'm fine."

Ge Shaoting glanced at them first, and only after confirming that everything was alright did he point outside, asking, "Shouldn't we have called the police in this situation?"

Don't laugh at him for finding this strange, he's a gangster boss. If this scene happened in Hong Kong, he wouldn't find it strange at all, since the rule of law there is chaotic. But this is in mainland China, and what just happened really puzzled him.

She then asked, "Why are people so indifferent? Shouldn't they ask about the situation before offering help? What if that person is a thief or something and gets away? But don't you all seem strange that everyone is acting as if it's none of their business?"

After confirming that Du Zhi was alright, Su Zihang looked outside again. There was nothing there except for the people coming and going. He looked away with a complicated expression, restarted the car, and then said:

"You'd better catch up on the situation in China as soon as possible, otherwise it could be dangerous to go out and contact people rashly."

Ge Shaoting joked, "You're making it sound like the Chinese people are some kind of monster. What would those simple, honest people think if they knew that people were talking about them like that?"

As he spoke, he looked at Du Zhi again, "What do you think, Sister Du Zhi?"

Du Zhi's expression was complicated. She knew that Ge Shaoting was not familiar with the situation in mainland China and that he did need to catch up, just as A Hang had said.

Her family, in particular, was one of the victims. Her mother died tragically, her father was crippled, and she... also went through a lot of bloodshed before being reborn.

Recalling the past, Du Zhi couldn't help but tremble. Su Zihang looked at her worriedly, not wanting her to relive those memories, but he still heard her say, "The situation in China right now... is very hard to say..."

Her voice was weak, almost fading away towards the end. Ge Shaoting was surprised, "Sister Du Zhi, you..."

"Shut up!"

Su Zihang stopped him from continuing. He held the steering wheel with one hand and reached behind him with the other to grab Du Zhi's hand to comfort her.

The atmosphere inside the car suddenly became oppressive.

Ge Shaoting looked at the two of them and guessed that he might have touched on someone's painful memories.

Although he knew nothing, his good upbringing told him that he should do something.

"I'm sorry if I said anything I shouldn't have."

Su Zihang glanced at him with a dark look in his eyes and said nothing more, while Du Zhi forced a smile and said, "It's not your fault, it's all in the past. I was just being sentimental, I'm sorry."

She is such a kind person; even though she was very sad, she still smiled and comforted others.

Thinking this to himself, Ge Shaoting smiled back and then turned to look out of the car. His deep eyes paused on a figure rushing past, and then suddenly widened.

Before he could turn around, he grabbed Su Zihang's arm, his voice urgent, "Stop... no, Su Zihang, drive that way!"

Su Zihang was used to all kinds of unexpected situations. Even when he was suddenly grabbed, he did not lose his composure. He kept his hands on the steering wheel, did not stop the car, and did not listen to Ge Shaoting's instructions to turn the car around. He just quietly reduced his speed.

Even though they hadn't known each other for long, Su Zihang believed he had a good eye for people and that Ge Shaoting wouldn't act recklessly.

"what are you doing?"

As he spoke, he glanced in the direction he was looking, but unfortunately, they had already passed the intersection, and he didn't see anything.

Seeing that the car hadn't stopped, Ge Shaoting was so anxious that he immediately opened the door and jumped out, his voice low and urgent, "It's Chu Xin and Zhou Yichen, I saw them!"

Even though he only caught a fleeting glimpse of them, he was certain he wasn't mistaken; it was definitely the two of them.

That was their intuition, honed through shared life and death experiences.

"squeak--"

Su Zihang slammed on the brakes, not saying he didn't believe her, but frowning as he asked, "Is it in the direction those red armband-wearing people were chasing?"

If so, then the person he saw a moment ago was definitely Gao Ziyou. What a small world! He ran into him as soon as he arrived in Ning City.

Ge Shaoting had already opened the car door and gotten out. Just before closing the door, he shouted out a single word.

"Yes"

Then the person quickly ran back, chasing after the direction they remembered.

Su Zihang turned to look at Du Zhi, but before he could speak, Du Zhi spoke first, "I'm fine right now. You can park the car on the side of the road. Go and see if it's Chu Xin or Ge Shaoting. He just arrived in the mainland, so don't let him cause any more trouble."

After a moment's hesitation, Su Zihang couldn't suppress his worry. "Alright, wait for me a bit, I'll be back as soon as possible."

He then parked the car on the side of the road, got out, and disappeared.

the other side.

Gao Ziyou had someone bring in Red Guards from the Revolutionary Committee, who used a foreign book to force Xi Congliang into a corner.

Even though he doesn't have any evidence yet, the fact that that person is related to Gao Ziyang is enough.

The Red Guards behind him were panting and out of breath, but he was still relentlessly pursuing Xi Congliang.

"Your house has been ransacked, let's see where you can run to now!"

"..."

no respond.

The disheveled man at the front didn't say a word, just kept running, maintaining a distance that was neither too far off nor too far from the others.

At the very back of these people, Chu Xin and Zhou Yichen were lagging behind, following a furtive-looking person.

This man, who had been following Gao Ziyou, was someone Chu Xin and Zhou Yichen were quite familiar with—he was the head of Gao Ziyou's henchmen who had handled things for him when Gao Ziyou secretly returned to Ning City.

This fish catch was both logical and unexpected.
