Age: My Small World

The same thing happened for the next few days.

Yang Jun realized that the heretic in this group was another person with quite good acting skills.

On this day, everyone had to cross a cliff edge.

"Professor Gu, please be careful."

Yang Jun followed behind Gu Yanqing, keeping an eye on her safety at all times.

As for Zhang Quanjin, he led the way.

Because Sun and Wei Ye were not here, they were not with the guide.

"Don't worry, although this road is a bit steep, it's not a problem to walk on it. I won't fall down."

Gu Yanqing smiled and said.

She has been to many places related to water conservancy projects, and crossing mountains and valleys is the norm for her. Although she is old now, her body is still strong, so she is not afraid of climbing mountains and walking on cliffs.

Along the way, Yang Jun could hear people exclaiming in surprise from time to time.

The main attraction is the spectacular view overlooking the river from here. Some people are seeing such a view for the first time, and naturally they are amazed and their hearts are deeply moved.

As he turned to look at the winding river, a figure suddenly appeared from behind him, quickly passing over him and shoving him violently towards Haogu Yanqing in front of him, attempting to push him directly off the 10,000-meter cliff and drown him in the river.

Just when things were at their most critical, a pair of hands grabbed that wrist.

"Crack!"

The eerie cracking sound of bones made everyone who witnessed it grit their teeth; it must have hurt terribly.

Sure enough, the person who reached out immediately screamed and quickly withdrew their hand, now only able to hug themselves and weep bitterly.

"Old Zhou, what were you trying to do just now?"

People started questioning Lao Zhou, as no one knew why he had attacked Gu Yanqing.

Yang Jun, of course, knew the reason; he had simply been bribed.

Old Zhou is a veteran in the team, and it's unexpected that he would be bribed. This is quite disappointing for Gu Yanqing.

She had turned around and was seeing everything Lao Zhou did. At this moment, all that was left in her eyes was helplessness.

"Once we get to the other side of the cliff, have someone take him back and hand him over to the police."

"Professor Gu, please don't! I just tripped and fell by accident. I really didn't mean to do anything to you. Don't listen to their nonsense."

Old Zhou was naturally unwilling to just wait to die like this, and wanted to struggle a bit more.

Unfortunately, Gu Yanqing was not old and blind.

She gave Old Zhou a cold look: "Zhou Anzhu, you're one of the veterans in the team. I only brought you into the team because your daughter was sick, thinking you could earn more money to pay for her treatment. But now it seems I was blind."

Upon hearing Gu Yanqing mention what happened a few years ago, Zhou Anzhu immediately felt guilty, and his eyes no longer showed any struggle, but rather a look of deep regret.

Indeed, a few years ago, when he was at his most desperate, it was Gu Yanqing who helped him find a job and then helped him find someone to cure his daughter.

But just a few years later, he had forgotten all of this and become ungrateful. Zhou Anzhu shook his head when he thought about it. He had become such a person who would do anything to gain benefits, and even wanted to deal with Professor Gu and kill her. How was he any different from a beast?

The more Zhou Anzhu thought about it, the more ashamed he felt.

He suddenly frowned, then shouted firmly, "Professor Gu, I'm sorry, someone really wants me to deal with you. They won't give up, so please be careful!"

After saying that, Zhou Anzhu jumped off the cliff next to him.

The screams echoed through the air for a long time, greatly shocking the group. "Hurry and save them! What are you standing there for?!"

Gu Yanqing reacted immediately and then anxiously tried to save the person.

Unfortunately, even the protagonist destined for greatness would not survive jumping from here. Below, there is not only a great river, but also a cliff face with steep rocks at the bottom. If a person were to fall on it, they would be torn to pieces, and the chances of survival would be slim.

"Professor, it's no use now."

Yang Jun stopped Gu Yanqing, who was getting agitated, and then shook his head.

Yang Jun's words brought Gu Yanqing back to her senses somewhat, but her eyes still reddened.

"Why is Old Zhou so stubborn? He insists on accepting the benefits. He has a daughter!"

Yang Jun sighed inwardly. Not everyone can remain virtuous, not even the most self-disciplined person; it's just a matter of price.

Even if you don't love money, people will still try to find out your interests. They can probably find you people, money, power, or any other item, as long as it achieves their goal.

"Human nature is inherently greedy. We can only maintain our own integrity; as for others, there's nothing we can do."

"Yes, there's nothing we can do!"

Gu Yanqing's body went limp again, and she almost fell, but fortunately Yang Jun caught her.

Yang Jun actually had a chance to save Zhou Anzhu, but what good would that have done him? This kind of person deserved his fate, and he had no intention of helping him.

Since Zhou Anzhu chose death, it conveniently saved manpower from guarding him.

After Zhou Anzhu's incident, everyone was eager to leave the path along the cliff, and they walked with a certain haste.

Fortunately, no one fell this time, and everyone safely reached the other side.

Upon entering a flat area, everyone began to sit down and rest.

At this moment, Zhang Quanjin began to organize people to retrieve Zhou Anzhu's body.

"Comrade Yang, why don't you go and help out too? I'll keep an eye on Professor Gu's place."

Zhang Quanjin's most important task was to protect Gu Yanqing, so naturally he dared not stray too far from her.

He had already regretted not staying by Gu Yanqing's side the whole time when they were on the cliff road, and this time he dared not leave her side no matter what.

Yang Jun shook his head. Zhang Quanjin had a mission, and so did he.

"I won't go. They should have enough manpower. With so many people, they could carry back even two wild boars."

Looking at the group of six or seven people, Zhang Quanjin thought for a moment and then nodded, then seemed to clench something in his hand.

Yang Jun could see Zhang Quanjin's wariness, so he didn't say anything more.

"Yang Jun, you should go and rest too. You still have a long way to go."

Gu Yanqing was indeed a professor with an excellent mental state. Her discomfort from earlier quickly dissipated. Moreover, she knew that she was the backbone of the group and could not easily collapse.

"Understood, Professor."

Yang Jun walked to the side without making a sound.

At this time, Sun Buyong and Wei Ye had also returned to the team.

"I see some people in the group who seem a bit shaken. What happened?"

Sun noticed the strangeness of the group as soon as he returned, and also noticed that another group had just left. (End of Chapter)
