The Space-Time Boss: 1970s Revolution

Chapter 107: An Old Friend Returns

What could she do?

She could only listen. After all, she cherished the warmth of having family around her.

This was the kind of warmth she had always longed for but had never experienced.

She would do everything in her power to protect those family members who brought warmth to her life.

Fu Xiao smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry. I'll be home soon."

Fu Weibo affectionately ruffled her hair, waved goodbye to Fu Weilun, and then turned to climb onto the ox cart. With a gentle flick of his whip, the ox cart started moving.

As the ox cart moved further away, the security personnel from the county committee also approached.

Fu Weilun shifted his gaze to Gu Qichen and spoke in a calm tone, "I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to stay here for a while."

Gu Qichen's sharp, hawk-like eyes emitted a piercing light as he stared intently at Fu Weilun.

After a long pause, he raised an eyebrow nonchalantly and said, "Is this really necessary? I never intended to run away in the first place. Isn't this a bit of an overreaction?"

Fu Weilun gave a faint smile. "Don't worry, we're not detaining you. We just need you to stay here temporarily. You're free to move around, but you can't leave An Yang County for the time being."

Gu Qichen also smiled faintly and replied softly, "Is that so? Then thank you for the trouble."

He glanced deeply at Fu Xiao one last time before turning around to follow the security personnel inside.

Fu Weilun turned to look at Shen Xingzhou, who was still standing nearby, and said calmly, "Xingzhou, I have other matters to attend to, so I can't entertain you further."

With that, he signaled with his eyes for Fu Yu and Fu Xiao to follow him as he turned and walked towards his office.

Shen Xingzhou stood motionless at the entrance, staring at their backs with dark, unreadable eyes.

Pushing open the office door, Fu Weilun walked straight to his desk and sat down.

He turned to Wang Zhifeng, who was standing nearby, and spoke softly, "Secretary Wang, please go to the police station and let them know there has been an incident at my home. Ask them to send someone to discreetly keep watch. Also, notify the neighborhood committee and the archives room that anyone attempting to access or retrieve my family's records, for any reason, should be detained immediately."

Wang Zhifeng nodded and left.

At this moment, the office was silent.

Fu Weilun tapped his fingers lightly on the desk, contemplating for a moment. He then looked up at Fu Xiao, who was sitting below, and asked softly, "Xiao Xiao, are you sure you want to go to the Northwest?"

Seeing her nod firmly, he smiled. "Alright, I'll have someone book a ticket and accompany you there..."

Fu Xiao quickly interjected, "Uncle, what if someone comes to the house to cause trouble again? You should stay here. My brother and I can handle it, and our second uncle is there anyway..."

"What do you plan to do with Gu Qichen and those two men?"

Fu Weilun changed the subject without giving a direct response.

Fu Xiao smiled faintly. "At least while I'm heading to the Northwest, don't let them return to Beijing. I don't want to alert anyone. You don't need to detain them forcibly. I gave them a drug for which only I have the antidote. If they're not afraid of death, they won't run..."
