Chapter 206: Chapter 206

In the afternoon, Ye Hao was sitting in the office when a soldier suddenly came knocking.

Said someone was looking for him outside.

Ye Hao let them into the office, and saw it was a couple with a young boy.

Turns out, he had rescued this young boy.

Ye Hao stood up, walked in front of them, bent down, and pinched the boy’s face.

"Hello there, remember me?"

He said with a smile.

The boy looked at Ye Hao and nodded earnestly.

Suddenly, his parents kneeled down before Ye Hao.

They even pulled the boy to kneel alongside them.

"Our lifesaver, we thank you dearly. If it weren’t for you, we don’t dare imagine what might have happened. You suffered a lot because of us, and we don’t know how to repay you. We just want to bow our heads to you, wishing you a life of peace and prosperity."

The boy’s father finished speaking, and the three of them were about to bow to Ye Hao.

"Please get up, please get up, this is what we should do."

Ye Hao quickly stepped forward to stop them, pulling them up.

After quite a bit of pulling, they finally sat down.

"Benefactor, this is your bag. We also brought it to you today."

The boy’s father handed Ye Hao the backpack that was by his feet.

"I did lose my backpack, how did you know it was mine?"

Ye Hao took the bag and said with a smile.

"Thanks to this bag, otherwise we wouldn’t have found this place. Your name is written inside, and at the time you left in a hurry, we didn’t know how to find you. Thankfully, we looked at the things inside the bag and found out you’re here."

The boy’s father quickly explained.

"Well, that’s quite fortuitous."

Ye Hao said with a smile.

After chatting for a while, the boy’s father said they had found their benefactor, fulfilled their wish, and could return home peacefully.

Ye Hao knew that their home was a long drive from here and that there was no transport right now.

"Stay at the guesthouse tonight, and head back tomorrow."

Ye Hao said, asking a soldier nearby to take them to the guesthouse.

The boy’s family expressed their gratitude multiple times before following the soldier to the guesthouse.

After they left, Ye Hao opened the bag.

He didn’t even remember when he wrote his name inside.

In the corner of the bag, there was a bag of medicine wrapped in a packet.

He found it odd since they always have professional medical staff on their missions, and he never brings medicine himself.

Curiously, he opened the packet and found a slip of paper on top.

It listed the usage and dosage of various medicines.

At the bottom, there was another line: Ye Hao, make sure you return safely; I’ll be waiting at home, Gu Yi.

Looking at these words, memories of Gu Yi packing medicine for him flashed through Ye Hao’s mind.

He shook his head, trying to recall the details more carefully, but couldn’t remember anything.

He remembered Li Yifan’s words, saying he and Gu Yi had a good relationship.

Then why did Yang Lin claim that he and Gu Yi never had a good relationship, and even that Gu Yi betrayed him?

Plus, his memory did seem that way, so where did it go wrong?

Li Yifan wouldn’t lie to him, but if Yang Lin did, why would her story match his memory?

Ye Hao pondered all afternoon and still found no answer.

As the afternoon approached the end of work hours, Yang Lin came to his office again.

The moment Ye Hao saw Yang Lin.

He decided to find answers himself, starting by breaking through with Yang Lin.

"Ye Hao, Aunt Chen asked me to have dinner at her place tonight. You should come with me."

Yang Lin had been overly excited ever since learning that Ye Hao was divorced.

She wanted to come by in the morning as soon as Ye Hao clocked in, but with Wang Li and other colleagues around, she mired herself to finish work first.

Since Wang Li was heading back to the city, they finished early today.

As soon as work was done, Yang Lin rushed over to Ye Hao.

"Yang Lin, why did you lie to me? Gu Yi and I have such a good relationship, why do you keep saying we don’t?"

Ye Hao looked at Yang Lin for a while and suddenly, angrily said.

He kept watching Yang Lin while speaking.

The moment he finished, Yang Lin’s first reaction was panic and guilt, but she quickly regained composure.

"Ye Hao, what’s wrong with you today? I didn’t lie. If you don’t believe me, you can ask others."

Yang Lin’s first thought upon hearing Ye Hao was: did her hypnosis fail?

But she figured, no matter what Ye Hao remembered, she couldn’t reveal any flaw.

So she raised her voice and said.

Ye Hao watched Yang Lin’s reaction, knowing she must be hiding something from him.

Ye Hao stared at Yang Lin for a long time without speaking.

Yang Lin felt increasingly guilty under his gaze.

"Ye Hao, I have to go help Aunt Chen. I’ll come back for you later."

Yang Lin finished speaking, didn’t wait for Ye Hao’s response, and quickly slipped away.

Ye Hao watched her hurried back, debating what she might be hiding from him.

But he was sure it had to do with Gu Yi.

Yang Lin walked down the road, trying to calm her heartbeat.

She wondered if she was lacking in skills, failing to hypnotize Ye Hao completely?

She kicked pebbles on the road in frustration.

Slowly heading towards Chen Jun’s house.

Once at Chen Jun’s house, Chen Jun’s mother greeted her happily, saying the food was almost ready, and told her to sit and wait for a bit.

Soon, Chen Jun also arrived home.

Chen Jun greeted Yang Lin and went straight into the kitchen.

"Go out quickly, don’t leave Yang Lin sitting alone."

Chen Jun’s mother told him quietly when she saw him entering the kitchen.

"I’m worried she’ll dislike me."

Chen Jun replied softly.

"Son, I think we can’t keep delaying this matter. We should make a solid decision now, lest we keep dragging on. What do you think?"

Chen Jun’s mother lowered her voice even further.

"But how can we make a solid decision, Ye Hao got promoted, and now the deputy battalion commander position is vacant too. It’s just me and Liu Guoqing competing, his seniority surpasses mine, so in a normal process, I can’t beat him."

Chen Jun was worried and anxious about this lately; the opportunity seemed within reach but unattainable, which was quite frustrating.

"Don’t worry, see what mom has planned soon. You go accompany her for now."

Chen Jun’s mother had waited long enough; originally thinking that since Chen Jun had just divorced Li Dongxiang, even if marrying Yang Lin should wait so as not to seem rushed to smart people.

But now, they were deep in debt, and it was a crucial period for Chen Jun’s promotion.

If they didn’t act, it would be too late for anything.

Chen Jun listened to his mom, knowing she must have a plan.

He smiled and walked out.

Don’t underestimate Chen Jun’s amicable demeanor outside, if he wants to build a relationship.

He has a whole set of ways to speak, making Yang Lin laugh non-stop.

The bad mood Yang Lin had earlier disappeared.

Chen Jun’s mother heard them talk pleasantly outside, so she purposely took extra time in the kitchen before coming out.
