"Sister, don’t worry, with protecting you, no one can bully you. If your brother cos, I’ll pay the money back for you and make sure nothing happens to you..."
Huang Shou was both comforting and coaxing her, wishing he could take out his heart and give it to her. As long as she stopped crying, anything he did would be worth it.
"Thank you, brother..."
Gu Tong finally smiled through her tears. She knew clearly now that Huang Shou wouldn’t hurt her; confirming this was like having a protective talisman.
"What’s the need for thanks between us? Just treat this like your own ho. I’m the brother, you’re the sister, we’re family."
Huang Shou patted his chest and proclaid grandly, already considering Gu Tong as one of his own after just a short while.
It was evident that Gu Tong’s beauty trick was highly successful, as shown by how quickly Huang Shou adapted to his role.
"Sis, it’s cold outside. You can’t stay out here all the ti or you might catch a cold. Why not co stay at my place?" Afraid that this might be taken the wrong way, he added, "Don’t worry, brother is definitely a good guy with no improper thoughts."
Stay at his place?
Gu Tong lowered her eyes, glancing at Zhao Yong hiding in the bushes.
Going to stay at a civilian’s ho was her goal. Only then could she have a legitimate reason to investigate Taiping Mountain. As a re woman, even if she appeared out of nowhere, no one would suspect anything.
This was indeed a convenience of her identity!
Zhao Yong was focusing on Gu Tong, but his head shook slightly, indicating "No!". Although Huang Shou seed to have no ill intentions for now, he was still a strange man, and the potential danger was undeniable. Any accident could lead to unimaginable consequences.
"Thank you, brother. I’ve finally t a good person."
Gu Tong naturally wouldn’t let her plan go to waste, so she went along with it. She tapped Zhao Yong’s head with her fingers; it was the frequency for sending Morse code signals.
The sentence she input implied: "Act as the situation demands! Don’t co in!"
Zhao Yong was a special trainee indeed. However, he didn’t have any experience as an undercover operative in enemy camps, so she worried that he might blow his cover, hence excluding him from the task beforehand!
However, she wasn’t worried that Zhao Yong wouldn’t understand her signals, as this was a must-learn skill for special trainees.
Zhao Yong widened his eyes in surprise, clearly not anticipating that Gu Tong would disregard his opinion and agree...
He was filled with countless questions and doubts about why she trusted Huang Shou so much. Wasn’t she afraid of any mishaps happening!
This emotion filled his heart, with no clear answers available.
Because at this mont, Gu Tong was already walking towards Huang Shou.
She completely embodied the deanor of a delicate woman while also showing so fear of Huang Shou, evident by her body avoiding him, which he could clearly sense.
Huang Shou scratched his head, a bit at a loss. He was aware of his fierce-looking appearance, which could naturally be terrifying. Nevertheless, he ant no harm and wouldn’t do anything inappropriate to a soft and cute girl.
But saying these things wouldn’t be useful; he knew he had to prove himself through concrete actions, gradually.
"Sister, please co in..."
Huang Shou stood in front of his three wolfdogs and instructed them that she was a friend of their owner. The three dogs, seemingly trained, made way for Gu Tong to enter.
He was extrely cautious in his actions, not daring to say any unnecessary words, fearing that Gu Tong might misunderstand.
Gu Tong keenly observed his change of behavior and ford an initial judgnt of Huang Shou!
She was confident that her first objective had been achieved!
