Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 342 The parents-in-law come to recognize the person

"Captain, that's awesome! You're trending!"

Guangzhou, Taoist Studies Institute, security post.

The young security guard, holding his phone, joked with the security captain, "At the foot of Mount Dongyue, in the parking lot, the Great Security Emperor, the Immortal of the Mortal World, has lived nine lifetimes in reverse, just to wait for Emperor Ye to return and pay the parking fee!"

"Get out! Get out!" The security chief, no, the security captain, waved for the junior security guards to move aside.

But the security guard still came up to him, "Did Mr. Gu treat you to hot pot?"

The security captain smiled and nodded, looking proud. "After the plane was lowered, Mr. Gu took me and the Taoist priest from Qingyuan to the mountain city for a hot pot meal."

"The hot pot in this mountain city is really delicious, but it's also really spicy!" The security captain smacked his lips, seemingly savoring the memory.

The security guard's eyes showed envy.

They all knew the inside story. In their eyes, Gu Zhao was almost like a god. They felt honored to meet and talk to Gu Zhao, let alone have a meal together.

Being able to have a meal with Gu Zhao will be something I can brag about to my colleagues who know the inside story.

However, the security guard soon asked about something that piqued his curiosity even more, "What's the situation with the plane, Captain? Tell me about it."

"Yes, yes, tell us!" The voices of the security guard at the side gate and the cleaner in the courtyard came through the walkie-talkie. "And how did it feel to be carried by Mr. Gu? Was it like riding on clouds or flying on a sword?"

The security captain was extremely proud of himself. "I flew exactly like the immortals in novels!"

"Ouch!"

"Wow!"

"The situation on the plane was quite urgent at the time. We happened to be there when the cabin door completely detached. However, Mr. Gu must have used his true qi to envelop the entire plane."

The security captain gave a brief explanation, then said, "Get back to work. I'll treat you to dinner tonight after your shift ends, and we can chat!"

"okay!"

……

After the passenger plane incident was resolved, Qingyuan Daoist went back to Zhenwu Mountain to chat with his old friends. Gu Zhao escorted the security captain back to the Taoist Research Institute. In the afternoon, the Yangcheng Folk Music Troupe's New Year performance officially began.

"That's Xiao Ya."

In the audience, Li Man pointed to Xiao Ya, who was dressed in Hanfu and playing the guzheng, and said to Gu Qi next to her, "She comes from a scholarly family in Yandu. It is said that her grandfather was a famous calligraphy master, her father was a writer, and her mother was a musician."

"Good heavens." Gu Qi clicked his tongue. "What a scholarly family! Our family is just a small business. Do you think they would even look at us?"

Li Man curled her lips and said, "Don't forget your son's abilities. Now, a young lady has taken a liking to our son and is pursuing him, don't you understand? The one with the headache now is not us, but our in-laws."

"This is nothing, and you're already calling your in-laws," Gu Qi complained, then asked, "And the other one?"

"There's another one named Jiang Shishi, she has an amazing figure."

Speaking of Jiang Shishi, even Li Man was a little envious, "She has a cheerful personality and is a good girl. Hey, why didn't she come up here?"

After the performance of "Fisherman's Song at Dusk" ended, Xiao Ya and several other musicians left the stage. The next performance was "Farewell My Concubine," which featured pipa player Jiang Shishi.

“This girl is pitiful. Although her parents are not divorced, they each do their own thing,” Li Man said with pity. “It’s really not easy for her to maintain an optimistic and cheerful attitude.”

While Li Man and Gu Qi were discussing Xiao Ya and Jiang Shishi in the audience, their secret protectors also met in the performance hall.

"What a coincidence?" "What a coincidence! If we hadn't run into them with Mr. Gu's mother last time, the office wouldn't even know they had already met."

The other side protested, "Mr. Gu was with them at the time. Who knows if they flew away? We were just staking out nearby, and we really didn't see them come out!"

"If it flew out, does that mean Mr. Gu has already told them the truth?"

"Anyway, we have already reported this possibility, and now it depends on whether the higher-ups are willing to confirm it with Mr. Gu."

"We've already spoken to Mr. Gu. We'll protect them discreetly, and it won't affect their normal lives. Of course, we won't listen to their communications or other private information."

“They all wear golden bracelets, which provide better protection than us. We only need to act in the second instance, making it much easier than previous protection missions.”

"Actually, I think it would be normal for Mr. Gu to tell them the truth. After all, many people already know it, and it will help them to be wary of people with ulterior motives getting close."

"I hope no one with ulterior motives notices them."

Just then, applause erupted in the performance hall, signaling the end of the folk music performance.

The two teams of male and female guardians, one team followed Li Man and Gu Qi as they came out of the auditorium, and the other team went to wait near the entrance for the performers.

Gu Zhao and the others were waiting at the entrance of the concert hall when they spotted his parents coming out. Li Man and Gu Qi also saw their son and walked over with smiles.

Li Man blinked and teased, "How did you know we came to see the show?"

Gu Zhao sighed, "I don't know."

Gu Qi raised an eyebrow at Gu Zhao, then pulled Li Man to leave, saying, "Take them home when you have time. Your mother and I are leaving now."

Li Man actually wanted to stay, since the two girls were indeed very much to her liking. However, she thought it would be inconvenient to be a third wheel, so she had to put up with it. "When you bring them back, remember to tell us in advance so we can prepare red envelopes."

Gu Zhao's heart stirred, and he said to Gu Qi, "No need for red envelopes, Dad, let's make them a musical instrument."

Gu Qi immediately understood, "To make a guzheng and a pipa from sandalwood?"

"Is that alright?" Gu Zhao asked.

"I make furniture, not musical instruments!" Gu Qi retorted, then changed the subject, "But I know a few owners of musical instrument stores, so I can find a way."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Dad," Gu Zhao said with a smile.

"It's nothing!" Gu Qi waved his hand, and seeing that the performers behind him seemed to be coming out one after another, he pulled Li Man away. "But if we want to make the instruments, we'll have to wait a while."

Li Man asked with some regret, "So you can't come during the Chinese New Year?"

Gu Zhao didn't answer, but just waved and watched her parents leave.

As his parents slowly drove away from the parking lot in their newly purchased, latest model of the Wenjie car, Gu Zhao saw Xiao Ya and Jiang Shishi walking out of the performers' passage.

"Honey! I'm hungry! I need to be fed!" Jiang Shishi came to Gu Zhao's side.

Xiao Ya pursed her lips and didn't say anything, but a soft sound betrayed her.

However, Gu Zhao was not surprised. Whether it's music or dance, you need to replenish your energy before a performance, but you can't eat too much. So after a performance that consumes a lot of energy, you will indeed be hungry.

So Gu Zhao waved his hand and said, "Let's go! I'll feed you!"
