Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Chapter 1175 Temptation (1)

In a car leaving the capital, Mr. Zou, who had disguised himself, sat in the back seat with his eyes closed in deep thought.

"I didn't expect that among the treasures Xiaoxue reported, many of the things she brought back were lost by the Japanese country in the past two years.

The leaders have already suspected that Xiaoxue is related to the mysterious man who delivered food to the border and the person behind the theft in the Japanese country. "

Old Zou also knew that the leaders were not without suspicion that Xiaoxue was the mysterious person, but they dispelled their suspicion after he assured that Xiaoxue was in the production team every day during her time in the countryside, and that she spent the New Year with him, Old Wu, and the Liu family day and night during the period when the Japanese country was stolen.

But Xiaoxue may have some connection with that mysterious man, which cannot be eliminated.

After all, Xiaoxue knows ancient martial arts that are said to have been lost long ago, as well as the miraculous art of making medicine.

Mr. Zou let out a long sigh, not knowing how to complete the task assigned to him by Chief Xi.

"The commander asked me to test it out and see if I can find out the relationship between Xiaoxue and the mysterious person. How should I test it?"

"I have to find out the relationship between the two without offending them. I also have to see if there is a way to get that person to work for Xia. This is not embarrassing."

In Mr. Zou’s opinion, judging from the mysterious man’s actions, although he didn’t know the reason, it was obvious that he was inclined towards the Xia Kingdom.

If Xiaoxue really has contact with that person, if I test Xiaoxue and anger that person, I will end up offending him. Wouldn't that be a loss?

"It's better to stay as you are and pretend you know nothing."

Of course, Mr. Zou thought so, firstly because he really thought so, and secondly because he wanted to protect Liu Jingxue.

But the leaders still wanted to make things clearer. After all, they had never met Liu Jingxue, did not know her character, and did not trust her as much as Mr. Zou.

In their opinion, if a person with such ability does not find out whether that person is a friend or an enemy of the Xia State, it will be difficult for him to feel at ease.

Mr. Zou could understand the leaders' thoughts.

What he is struggling with now is how to test the relationship between Liu Jingxue and the mysterious man.

When Mr. Zou returned to the base, he couldn't wait to find Liu Jianjun, and the two of them closed the door and discussed for a long time.

One day in November, Liu Jingxue's courtyard once again welcomed Zou Lao and Liu Jianjun, who had disguised themselves.

She welcomed the two people into the living room and served them tea. Looking at their expressions which were completely different from before, Liu Jingxue knew in her heart that their visit must be for something special.

“It must be related to the treasures that were sent back.

Someone must have discovered that many of these items were stolen from the Japanese country two years ago."

Liu Jingxue, who had been preparing herself mentally for a month, was ready. She drank tea quietly, waiting for the two to speak.

But the longer she waited, the two of them seemed to be competing in drinking tea and didn't speak a word.

The silence in the room made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"If the mountain won't come to me, then I will go to the mountain."

After Liu Jingxue made up her mind, she took the initiative to speak to break the silence.

“Grandpa Zou, the last time you came here, you said that the leaders were already in a meeting to discuss the necessity of resuming the college entrance examination.

Now that several months have passed, have the leaders made a decision on whether to resume the college entrance examination? "

"Ah," Mr. Zou, who was immersed in his own thoughts and wondering how to start the conversation, was stunned by Liu Jingxue's topic. After he came to his senses, he began to search in his mind for information about the resumption of the college entrance examination.

"As for the resumption of the college entrance examination, the decision has been made. It will definitely be resumed."

Liu Jingxue was delighted and quickly asked, "When was that?

I'll have to see how long I have to review."

"The exact time has not been decided yet, but we have already made preparations for it," replied Mr. Zou.

"That should be soon," Liu Jingxue said confidently.

But Mr. Zou shook his head. "You are wrong. Although the decision has been made, it is impossible to restore it in the short term."

"Why is this?" Liu Jingxue was puzzled.

Mr. Zou patiently explained, "The university has stopped recruiting students for several years, and the original teachers were sent to the grassroots for training.

If we suddenly have to resume the college entrance examination and universities want to recruit students again, we have to bring the teachers back first.

With so many universities and so many teachers across the country, it is not an easy task to get them back. It will definitely take a lot of time.

What's more, the original teachers may have passed away, reached retirement age, or simply didn't want to teach anymore due to various changes.

These are all things.”

"We also have to decide on the exam subjects and scope, organize people to set questions and mark papers, and give people time to review.

Xiaoxue, you should study hard first. It’s already November, and there’s no hope this year.”

Liu Jingxue nodded, "As long as you make sure you recover, it's fine even if it's a little later. It will give me more time to review."

After that, she deliberately said, "I thought you came here today to inform me of the time for the college entrance examination, but it turned out not to be the case.

So why did you come here today?"

"Could it be that he is giving me a reward for the treasure?" Liu Jingxue deliberately brought up the matter of the treasure.

“But I see you didn’t bring me any reward.

Could it be that the reward for me is the prey that my second brother gave me?" She deliberately opened her eyes wide and pretended to be surprised.

When Mr. Zou heard this, the tea he had just drunk came out with a "plop".

If he hadn't quickly turned his head and aimed at the ground beside him, the liquid would have almost sprayed all over Liu Jianjun's face.

After coughing twice and wiping the water stains from the corners of his mouth, Mr. Zou gave Liu Jingxue a reproachful look.

"You kid, you keep talking nonsense, the leaders are not likely to be so petty.

You handed over so many treasures, how could I just give you a few pounds of meat to get rid of you? "

"There will definitely be a reward for you."

They are all in your second brother's storage bag.

Since he speculated that Liu Jingxue might have a relationship with the mysterious man, Mr. Zou guessed that Liu Jingxue might also have a storage bag.

To this end, he simply asked Liu Jianjun to put the reward for Liu Jingxue in a storage bag and bring it to her, intending to give the thing to her after testing and confirming it.

“Then why didn’t you bring it to me?

You won't let me go somewhere else to get it.

I am very busy now. I need to prepare for the college entrance examination, prepare genetic medicine and health pills, and research medicine for treating radiation sickness. I don’t have time to go out.” Liu Jingxue deliberately counted on her fingers.

She did this just to let Mr. Zou know that her time was very precious and she wished she could use one minute as if it were two minutes, but there was no time to waste.

If Mr. Zou has something to say, just say it now and don't waste time dithering.

"Don't worry, I won't let you waste time going to other places to get it.

Asking you to go to other places to get it is not exposing you to others. Grandpa Zou is not that stupid. ", Mr. Zou assured.

Liu Jingxue is not the kind of person who is well versed in the art of speaking and would not beat around the bush. She spoke directly.

"Then why did you come here today with such a heavy look on your face and not as relaxed as before?

Grandpa Zou, second brother, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't be hesitant.

If you don’t tell me, I can’t guess.”
