Chapter 883 - 0883: The New Official Takes Office 1
Although Guo Cui insisted on leaving, Lu Jiang and the others, following Ye Zhengjun’s orders, were not too keen on letting her go.
Lu Jiang pondered and said, "Sister-in-law, don’t be in a rush to leave. We don’t understand the situation in the Capital; it’s like we’re completely in the dark. Why not wait a while? According to the message brought by the deputy commander, comrade Ye shouldn’t be in any immediate danger to his life. If you just rush off to the Capital now, wouldn’t you be giving those people a chance to attack comrade Ye? Our nephews and nieces aren’t in the Capital either, and they’re just looking for an opportunity to find comrade Ye’s Achilles heel. If you go, you’ll be nothing but a living target."
"Wait? How can I wait? Until when? Shall I wait until something happens to old Ye before I go? Then it will be too late!" Guo Cui struggled to contain her impatience and concern, "With old Ye’s stubborn temper, don’t you, who have followed him for so many years, understand? I’m afraid he might antagonize the workers in charge of his case in defense of his old superior!"
Although they were quite far from the Capital, making it feel like ’the sky is high and the Emperor is far away,’ newspapers and documents continued to arrive incessantly, allowing a glimpse of the situation through indirect means.
In Guo Cui’s opinion, those young people acted as though they were crazy, attacking wherever they were directed from above.
"Sister-in-law, comrade Ye told us to have you stay with the troops, he must have his reasons. If you go to the Capital, comrade Ye will know, and he’ll certainly worry about you..."
Guo Cui immediately interrupted Lu Jiang, "Lu Jiang, old Ye and I are revolutionary partners; there is no reason for me to just sit by without doing anything! I think, if this kind of thing were to happen to you, Qingxue would also do the same, rushing about to ensure your safety first, then looking for ways to rescue you. Put yourself in my shoes, how could you bear to let me stay here waiting for news? Maybe for even worse news."
