The sky outside was still so dark; apart from the occasional light from some lamps, it was pitch black.

After all, the people in the Xicheng District are not that wealthy; in fact, there are quite a few poor people.

Qin Yuxiang and Lao Li talked for a while, then sat down in the small safe house and looked at the dark sky outside.

Even after Old Li left, she didn't notice, because at that moment her mood was like a roller coaster, suddenly plummeting from a high place.

Am I really that bad?

She looked at herself, and thought of many of her habits, even her face, which no longer possessed the gentle beauty of the Jiangnan water towns.

On the contrary, it carries some of the blackness of the Loess Plateau, and even more so, an indescribable heroic spirit.

The only thing that made him stand out from the crowd in Shanghai was his demeanor.

Is that really the case?

She gave a wry smile. Compared to two or three years ago, she realized, thanks to Lao Li's reminder, that she had aged considerably, to an indescribable degree.

Even though she had recuperated in northern Jiangsu for a while, she reverted to her old self when she returned to the battlefield in the west, and only then did she realize that she had really changed.

She looks 28, but more like 38.

She hadn't noticed it before, but now that she did, she felt a little disappointed.

As for this trip to Shanghai, she came secretly. She originally planned to stay in northern Jiangsu for a while, since Zhang Tianhao would occasionally return to northern Jiangsu.

But this time, an unexpected incident occurred.

"Looks like we really made a mistake coming here this time, sigh!"

She also sighed deeply, turned around and called out to Zhao Hu outside the door.

"Ah Hu, let's go in a bit!"

"Madam, where shall we go back to?"

Zhao Hu, who was standing to the side, was also taken aback and immediately asked a question with some doubt.

"Going back to northern Jiangsu, I can't possibly see him in this state, really!"

“Madam, since you’re here, let’s meet you. After all, it will take the young master some time to find out you’re here.”

"That's true, but how can I see him looking like this? I'm so ugly, I'm too ashamed to show my face to anyone."

Zhao Hu, who was outside, was also taken aback when he heard this, but he immediately became puzzled, after all, he still didn't understand what his wife was saying.

Shall we leave now?

Let's leave at daybreak tomorrow!

Qin Yuxiang thought about it for a moment, but ultimately decided to slow down, since she had only come here to check on the situation in Shanghai.

After all, she knew that Zhang Tianhao was in Shanghai and had been assigned to be a temporary secretary there.

"Alright, we've come a long way and we're quite tired. Let's rest!"

"Yes, madam!"

"Where's Ah Long?"

"He's outside too. Do you need to look for him?"

When Ah Hu heard this, he was also taken aback, so he tried asking a question.

"No need, you should rest first!"

Qin Yuxiang took a deep breath and then returned to her room to rest.

After all, this was a safe house for the underground party, and people would come to clean it regularly, but it was usually unoccupied.

"Am I really not able to adapt to the situation here for the time being? Has Geng Han adapted to the work here, or is he planning to go back to northern Jiangsu to recuperate for a while, or is he planning to recuperate here for a while?"

She thought about it and didn't know what to do.

……

In the middle of the night, Zhang Tianhao was getting ready to rest in bed when he suddenly heard a soft knock at the door. He had just lain down and probably hadn't even warmed the bed yet. He was startled by the sound coming from the doorway.

After listening carefully, I could only manage a wry smile.

It started with Huizi, then she called back; now it's probably someone from the underground party.

Besides Lao Li, it's Lao Zhou; only these two would come to see him in the middle of the night.

He gave a wry smile, then stood up, looked at Sun Xiaolan who was still hugging him, and shook his head repeatedly.

He carefully placed Sun Xiaolan's hand aside, then got up and went to the door.

Upon opening the door, one could see Old Li standing in the doorway, his entire body shrunken into the darkness.

"What's the matter?"

He was also a little impatient; although his voice was calm, he was yawning.

"Deputy Secretary Qin Yuxiang has come to Shanghai. It seems she's here to see you, but I don't know anything else about it."

What is she doing in Shanghai?

"do not know!"

"Where do you live?"

Guangning South Road.

"By the way, could she be here to continue as deputy secretary and gain experience?"

"Maybe so, but she'll tell you the specifics when you meet her."

Old Li kept quiet, after all, this time he had come to inform him privately.

"Alright, I'm going back now. You should go see her. What I said just now almost brought her to tears. After all, her current habits, especially her lifestyle, speech, tone, actions, and even temperament, are completely different from those of well-mannered people in Shanghai."

"There are too many shortcomings that could easily expose her identity, which would be very detrimental to her survival in Shanghai. You should try to persuade her."

"Alright, I've delivered my message. I'm leaving now!"

"Thank you!"

Zhang Tianhao was at a loss for words when it came to Qin Yuxiang.

The original love potion was no longer useful to him. In fact, with his powerful mental strength, the love potion in his body had long been sealed in his heart.

He can take it out anytime he wants.

But he did not reject Qin Yuxiang, after all, she was the first woman to follow him, and it could even be said that he had devoted countless efforts to this woman.

As for feelings, he really couldn't say anything.

Being kind to Qin Yuxiang seems to stem from an instinct or a habit.

He shook his head, then closed the door, changed his clothes, and vanished from the courtyard in a flash.

Inside the house, Sun Xiaolan also heard the sound of the door opening and knew that Zhang Tianhao was very busy.

When Zhang Tianhao returned for the first time, he woke her up. Although she was tired, a strange emotion still rose in her heart.

"Old Li just called him, could something have happened?"

She didn't quite understand, but she wouldn't ask, since it wasn't her place to inquire.

"Damn bastard, I'm so tired I'm about to collapse, and you're still full of energy? Are you even human?"

Thinking about what would happen that night, she could only manage a bitter smile.

"However, maybe following him is really not bad. Although I don't know what the future holds, I'm happy right now."

Having returned to her original appearance as Sun Xiaolan, she has the face of someone in their early twenties, with a full oval face that makes her even more attractive.

"Dr. Wang, who exactly are you? I still don't understand. Hopefully, you'll give me a surprise?" (End of Chapter)
