Chapter 457 Danger Lurks All Around Us

After all, their mealtimes are already short, and they have to return to their posts immediately after eating, which is really not easy.

Xie Zhiyan repeatedly told Shu Ying to contact him if she felt unwell. After receiving Shu Ying's response, he immediately ran off to eat.

Du Chenzhou had been following Lusca and Howard the whole day, translating until his lips were practically sparking. Now that he finally had a break, he recalled the content he had just translated and found it riddled with errors.

It's far inferior to Shu Ying's translation skills.

He felt inexplicably frustrated, as if he couldn't do anything right.

It seems that the path of continuing as a translator is becoming narrower.

Du Chenzhou sighed softly. In a fleeting moment when he looked up, he happened to see Shu Ying standing behind the corner outside the door, talking intimately to someone standing in front of the wall.

The man only showed half of his shoulder, but his identity could be identified from his camouflage uniform.

It is undoubtedly Xie Zhiyan.

Du Chenzhou observed for a while, and the more he looked, the more heartbroken he felt.

Shu Ying and Xie Zhiyan's relationship was already quite solid. They've had two children and been married for so long, yet their feelings for each other haven't changed at all.

Even during their short lunch break, the two of them would meet up; they were so close…

Du Chenzhou felt even more desperate.

He carefully pinched the space between his eyebrows.

He was already worried about what to do next, and his relationship with Shuying was destined to be fruitless. Then he received that note that day...

Thinking of that note, Du Chenzhou felt a surge of tension and unease.

Because of that note, he hasn't had a proper rest for many days. He always feels like danger is lurking around him. Whenever he closes his eyes, he feels like there's a pair of eyes watching him closely, making him feel uneasy all over.

Now that they had finally arrived at a relatively safe place protected by the People's Liberation Army, Du Chenzhou would rather get a good night's sleep and rest than eat.

He rubbed his temples, then pushed away his plate, intending to rest his head on the table for a while.

However, as soon as I lay down, I felt as if a malicious gaze was falling on me.

Du Chenzhou immediately raised his head sensitively, quickly looking left and right, but found nothing.

The restaurant was crowded and the situation was complicated, so it was impossible to tell at a glance who was looking in your direction.

Du Chenzhou bit his lip.

Could it be because he hasn't been sleeping enough these past few days, making him neurotic and causing perceptual errors?

Du Chenzhou turned his head to look around again, still not feeling reassured, but still found nothing.

Lusca and Howard sensed something was wrong and immediately put down their forks.

"What's wrong, Zhou?"

Du Chenzhou was genuinely nervous at this moment, but his lips moved and he ultimately didn't say anything.

Lusca and Howard genuinely considered him a friend, and he couldn't involve them in the situation.

He could only shake his head and force a smile.

"It's nothing. I just thought I suddenly heard someone calling my name. I must have misheard."

Although Lusca and Howard still felt something was off, they had absolute respect for other people's affairs, so they didn't ask since Du Chenzhou didn't say anything.

Shu Ying returned from outside and continued eating.

While going to get water with Director Wu and the others, I inadvertently turned my head and saw Shu Wenyuan and Fu Yunpeng discussing something. There was also a foreigner at the table with them, and the three of them were very engrossed in their conversation.

Shu Ying had just looked around her seat but couldn't find her father. To avoid attracting attention and suspicion, she didn't dare to look too openly, and she was still worried.

Seeing her father sitting there unharmed, Shuying's worries vanished instantly, and she couldn't help but take a closer look at them.

She vaguely remembered that foreigner; when they checked his identity at the door, he seemed to say he was involved in some kind of foundation... probably a charitable foundation.

However, this is a good opportunity to pass on a message.

After filling the water container, Director Wu saw her standing there holding the cup without moving, and greeted her with a smile.

"Come on, Shuying, do you need any help?"

Shu Ying smiled and shook her head.

"I'm just a little thirsty. I'd like to stand here and finish this drink, then get another one to take back later. Director, you can go back and eat first. Don't worry about me."

Director Wu didn't think much of it, nodded, and left.

Shu Ying forced herself to finish the glass of water she was holding and poured herself another half glass. After making sure no one was paying attention to her, she chose the path where her father's table was located and "accidentally" tripped as she walked there.

Shu Wenyuan subconsciously reached out to support her, firmly grasping her arm. When he looked up, he realized it was his daughter, and for a moment he was a little confused.

Shu Ying, still looking shaken, smiled and thanked him.

As she pushed Shu Wenyuan's arm away, she brushed her fingers across his palm and slipped a note she had written in advance into his hand.

Shu Wenyuan immediately received the signal and instantly understood what was going on. He subtly tightened his grip, then casually withdrew it, placing his fist on his knee and waving his other hand.

"It's okay, just be careful."

Shu Ying responded and walked away as usual.

Her movements were natural throughout, and there was no indication that she knew Shu Wenyuan.

Shu Wenyuan seemed to regard the previous incident as a minor interlude, and then turned back to continue his conversation with the foreigner at the same table.

As he was talking, he pretended to reach into his pocket to pull out a pen, while simultaneously stuffing the note into his pocket.

A moment later, Shu Wenyuan finally found an excuse to go to the restroom.

Once inside the cubicle, he immediately took out the note from his pocket and looked at it.

As expected, Shu Ying guessed his purpose in publishing the article and briefly described a dream she had, which she had already asked Xie Zhiyan to investigate based on the dream's content.

Shu Wenyuan has always believed that family members are connected at heart and will have some mutual understanding.

He did not object to Shu Ying's actions; in fact, he was relieved.

This provides another avenue for finding people.

Fortunately, my son-in-law has such abilities, making it much easier to find people.

Shu Wenyuan felt a surge of hope and great satisfaction.

Sure enough, no matter what, a family is always of one mind.

Xie Zhiyan was a good son-in-law; he is an upright and trustworthy person.

If someone else had been chosen… let alone helping to find people, Shu Wenyuan couldn’t even imagine how those people who fawned over the powerful would treat Shu Ying after the Shu family was demoted and lost their former influence.

The note was small, but Shu Ying wrote her delicate penmanship in very small characters. So after she finished narrating these things, there was still some blank space left, which she used to briefly explain her current situation.

The story is too long to tell, so I'll just use four words to sum it up: Everything is fine.
