Family connections: From special recruitment by the county committee to the pinnacle of power

It would have been better if the man hadn't shouted. This sudden roar startled Tang Bing so much that she threw herself into Xu Hansheng's arms.

The problem is that it was late at night, and Bishuiwan is an old residential area built six or seven years ago. The surrounding streetlights were yellowish, so the lighting effect was already poor.

Suddenly, a dark figure darted out from under the shade of the tree and shouted. Not only was Tang Bing frightened, but even Xu Hansheng felt a chill run down his spine.

After a full three seconds, Xu Hansheng subconsciously pulled out a small flashlight, lit it, and shone it towards the dark figure.

The flashlight shone on the man's face, and he quickly reached out to block it.

But Xu Hansheng still recognized the person's face. Wasn't that Gu Yu, whom he had met when he went to find Tang Bing?

Is this kid crazy?

Why are you here so late at night instead of sleeping, trying to scare people?

No wonder Tang Bing disliked him. Even Xu Hansheng thought he was a paranoid and mentally ill person!

"Turn off your flashlight!"

Gu Yu shouted loudly at Xu Hansheng while blocking the blinding beam of the flashlight.

After all that commotion, Tang Bing's emotions calmed down a bit. From his voice, she recognized that this person was Gu Yu.

But the next second, Tang Bing's expression darkened. She frowned, sizing up Gu Yu, and said, "Gu Yu, are you crazy?!"

"Surfing people out in the middle of the night like that, you'll scare them half to death!"

If Xu Hansheng hadn't been there, Tang Bing would have been terrified and cried.

The more Tang Bing thought about it, the angrier she became, and she gave him even less of a friendly look.

Upon hearing Tang Bing's words, Gu Yu looked aggrieved and said, "Bingbing, listen to me, I... I heard this afternoon that you went out with this kid."

"I...I...I was worried that this kid had bad intentions and might try to touch you inappropriately, and I didn't know where you went, so I waited for you at the door."

"Bingbing, I really didn't mean anything by it. If I hadn't seen that kid holding your hand and pulling you into his arms, I..."

Hearing this, Tang Bing's face turned pale with anger. Before Gu Yu could finish speaking, she coldly rebuked him, "What nonsense are you spouting!"

"There was a puddle on the road, and Xu Han pulled me back because he was afraid I would step in it!"

"You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth!"

After being suddenly scolded by Tang Bing, Gu Yu felt extremely aggrieved.

He could even swear to God that he was truly devoted to Tang Bing, and he was practically ready to take his heart out and show it to her.

But how could Tang Bing say that about him?

What do you mean by "a dog's mouth can't produce ivory"? He and Xu Hansheng are both men, and men understand men best. Xu Hansheng's actions just now were clearly an attempt to take advantage of Tang Bing!

Xu Hansheng narrowed his eyes, and Okiya Yu revealed a cold smile. Then he looked at Tang Bing with a sincere expression and said, "Sister Tang Bing, I'm really sorry. Actually, this is all my fault."

"I didn't know you already had a boyfriend, otherwise I would have just let you call him directly, and this misunderstanding wouldn't have happened."

"I'm so sorry, I'll be leaving now. You two have a good talk, and please don't let this little thing cause any unpleasantness."

After saying that, Xu Hansheng subconsciously let go of Tang Bing's hand and made as if to leave.

But before Xu Hansheng could take a step, Tang Bing grabbed his arm and pulled him back.

Seeing this, Gu Yu was so angry that his face turned purplish-red.

"Xu Hansheng, don't go. I don't have a boyfriend. Gu Yu isn't, and he never will be."

Hearing this, Xu Hansheng sneered inwardly.

In fact, he had known all along that Gu Yu was a one-sided shrew, only enthusiastically taking on the task.

Xu Hansheng had already seen through everything from Tang Bing's attitude towards Gu Yu that day.

The reason he said that was to thoroughly provoke Tang Bing, and to use Tang Bing's words to retaliate against Gu Yu's slander against him.

Even if Gu Yuzhen really hit the nail on the head for Xu Hansheng, where is the evidence?

Even if Gu Yu is telling the truth, without evidence, it's still just blatant fabrication!

However, based on some of Gu Yu's actions, Xu Hansheng vaguely felt that Gu Yu had a certain background. For Tang Bing's sake, it would be extremely unwise to rashly clash with Gu Yu without knowing his background.

Therefore, the best course of action is to give Gu Yu a mental blow from the goddess he has been longing for day and night.

Sure enough, after pulling Xu Hansheng back, Tang Bing raised an eyebrow and glared at Gu Yu with an icy expression, saying, "Gu Yu, I'm warning you one last time, stay away from me!"

"There is absolutely no relationship between us. My affairs are none of your business. Who I go with and where I go is my freedom. If you dare to follow me again, or even hide at the entrance of my residential complex to scare me, I will immediately call the police and report you for harassment!"

"I don't want to see you anymore. Get out of my sight right now!"

As she spoke, Tang Bing pointed to the other side of the road, showing no respect whatsoever to Gu Yu.

Upon hearing Tang Bing mention calling the police, Gu Yu's face contorted in horror. Pointing at Xu Hansheng, he yelled at Tang Bing, "Bingbing, listen to me! This kid is definitely up to no good!"

"roll!"

Tang Bing was truly enraged. She coldly uttered the word "get lost," and her beautiful eyes flashed with a chilling light, filled with disgust.

Upon hearing the word "get lost," Gu Yu almost burst into tears of grievance.

He meant well!

Why?

Why can't Tang Bing understand her own feelings?

Looking at Xu Hansheng, who was staring at him with a provocative gaze and a grin that almost reached his ears, Gu Yu was so angry he nearly vomited blood!

"Kid, you..."

He dared not lash out at Tang Bing, so he decided to vent all his anger on Xu Hansheng.

But just as he took a step forward, Tang Bing grabbed the phone, quickly pressed 0, moved her finger to the call button, and glared at Gu Yu, saying, "Are you leaving or not? If you don't leave, I'm calling the police right now!"

The moment Gu Yu saw her incredibly heartless action, he felt as if all his strength had been drained away, and he stared blankly at Tang Bing for a full ten seconds.

Finally, like a defeated rooster, it walked away dejectedly.

Xu Hansheng watched Gu Yu's retreating figure, chuckled softly, and then said to Tang Bing, "Sister Tang Bing, there's really no need to be so ruthless towards him. I think he meant well, afraid that you'd be taken advantage of by bad people..."

As he spoke, Xu Hansheng's arm drooped slightly, and he naturally grasped Tang Bing's fingertips.

Tang Bing snorted softly, and as she walked towards the gate of the residential area with Xu Hansheng, she said to him, "You have no idea, this Gu Yu is like a leech, so annoying!"

As she spoke, Tang Bing turned her head and saw Gu Yu still standing under the streetlight, looking at her and Xu Hansheng. She immediately felt utterly hopeless.

But the moment she looked up, Tang Bing noticed Xu Hansheng. Clutching her own hand, a plan formed in her mind. She intertwined her fingers with Xu Hansheng's and, as they walked, said to him, "Xu Hansheng, will you take me home?"
