Chapter 971: Chapter 971: Loyalty Above All Having understood all this, Gu Qiaoqiao went to sleep peacefully. Time slips away like sand between fingers, and before you know it, May Day has arrived. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel-fire.net Everything was prepared in advance. The Gu Family didn’t have the kind of old jeep suited for mountain roads, affectionately called a 212 in this era. So, after Gu Qiaoqiao and Xiao Wen were ready, they waited at the Gu Family for Chu Chengfeng to pick them up. Chu Chengfeng arrived quickly. The first glance after getting out of the car fell on Xiao Wen, the two were acquainted. They met when Gu Qiaoqiao entrusted Chu Chengfeng to help find the gang that stole Ling Nan’s luggage. After Chu Chengfeng found them, he naturally joined in. He even brought a few buddies. It turned out that the gang was running with Zhao Xiaoming, so a fight broke out without much discussion. Initially, Chu Chengfeng thought only Ling Nan was up for a fight; the girls should just watch the fun. Especially Gu Qiaoqiao, her shooting skills were top-notch, but when it comes to fist and kick, not so much. Besides, if she got accidentally bruised or scraped, Qin Yize would give him a good beating when he returned! So, he told Gu Qiaoqiao and Xiao Wen to just watch from afar, avoiding getting caught up in it. But unexpectedly, Xiao Wen turned out to be quite the fighter. Xiao Wen was pretty, a year older than him, didn’t smile or talk much, yet very articulate, well-informed, and straightforward, almost like a heroine. Thus, Chu Chengfeng had a good impression of Xiao Wen. However, he did not expect her to be such a good fighter. Hence, Chu Chengfeng wasn’t intimidated but rather intrigued at the time. Of course, the eventual outcome was Xiao Wen and Ling Nan taught that gang of punks a real lesson… The luggage wasn’t recovered because there was nothing valuable in it; those punks had long thrown it away. Since then, Chu Chengfeng kept Xiao Wen in mind. He learned from Gu Qiaoqiao that Xiao Wen and Ling Nan were distant relatives of the Gu Family and now work beside her as assistants and bodyguards. With Qin Yize not at home and having little contact with Gu Qiaoqiao, Chu Chengfeng wouldn’t miss the rare opportunity today. Xiao Wen had a good impression of Chu Chengfeng and once told Gu Qiaoqiao that despite his seemingly care-free, rebellious nature, Chu Chengfeng is actually someone who values loyalty deeply. Gu Qiaoqiao naturally knew Chu Chengfeng’s personality; back in the past life, she and Qin Yize didn’t really interact with the friends around them, so she didn’t know about Chu Chengfeng’s character either. Perhaps it was because of the infrequent visits to the Imperial Capital. Every visit was a blink-and-you-miss-it affair, though the last one was longer, just about a week. Then something happened… Gu Qiaoqiao pulled back her occasionally wandering thoughts, her eyes glinted with a teasing smile as she looked at Chu Chengfeng, raised her eyebrows, and had to remind him, “Chu Chengfeng, open the trunk…” Xiao Wen, being a smart cookie, had already noticed Chu Chengfeng’s unusual behavior towards her, but she regarded him as a mere kid and didn’t mind, instead she chuckled. She thought it was quite amusing. Only then did Chu Chengfeng react, feeling a bit embarrassed. Luckily his skin tone wasn’t too pale, so no blush was seen. He quickly took out the keys and opened the trunk, then Ling Nan effortlessly hoisted two large travel bags and tucked them into the trunk.
