Unlike Xu Junran, Cao Junwei's level of understanding made him more aware of the cruelty in certain aspects of politics.

Just as Xu Junran said, although the report was merely a summary of the economic situation and documents over the past few years, he immediately sensed something unusual.

"Junran, let me think about it."

Since he was already wavering, Cao Junwei's attitude naturally changed from the beginning. He fell silent for a moment and slowly said to Xu Junran.

Xu Junran nodded lightly. He knew it was impossible to change Cao Junwei's attitude with just a few words, but he hoped this method could help him.

The car started again and soon arrived at Cao Junming's workplace. Cao Junwei smiled and said to Xu Junran, "You guys go up, I won't go. I need to gather some information."

Xu Junran thought for a moment and smiled at Cao Junwei, "Brother Wei, how about this, I don't have a place to stay yet, you can arrange something for me. Sister Yuqing won't go up with me, you can take her directly to the place to stay, okay?"

The matter he needed to discuss with Cao Junming was important, and Lin Yuqing's presence would be inappropriate. Originally, Xu Junran planned to have Lin Yuqing stay in the girls' dormitory, but since he had encountered Cao Junwei, a wealthy man, he didn't mind taking advantage of him a bit.

Cao Junwei laughed heartily, "That's easy. If you didn't say anything, I would be upset. You wouldn't ask me if you didn't consider me a brother. How about this, the military guesthouse, I'm familiar with it. I'll take my sister-in-law to buy some things. It's our first meeting, I should show some hospitality."

Xu Junran knew that Cao Junwei felt a bit embarrassed because he had just flirted with Lin Yuqing.

Cao Junwei was a man who cared about his reputation. Although he liked to talk a lot, his private life was not decadent. At that time, people were still heavily constrained by morals and the law. Xu Junran remembered a case where a driver used the pretext of teaching young women to drive to have sexual relations with multiple young women, and was eventually imprisoned for hooliganism. Later, some famous singers were also imprisoned for similar reasons, which many people knew about.

"Alright, Brother Wei, you can arrange it as you see fit." Xu Junran said, turning to Lin Yuqing, "Sister Yuqing, you go with Brother Wei to rest. Just follow his instructions if anything happens."

He then said seriously to Cao Junwei, "Brother Wei, I'm entrusting her to you. She's someone I brought from home. If anything happens to her in the capital, I won't have the face to return home and will definitely jump into Weiming Lake without a second thought."

Cao Junwei chuckled and said with a serious expression, "Don't worry. Anyone who wants to bully my sister-in-law will have to throw me, a hundred pounds, to the ground first. In the capital, I may not be the most famous, but I'm the one who doesn't fear death."

The reason Xu Junran gave this instruction to Cao Junwei was because he knew that Cao Junwei was someone who liked to stir up trouble and had many enemies in the capital. He was afraid that if Cao Junwei took Lin Yuqing out, she might be targeted by others. The atmosphere in the capital was gradually becoming chaotic before the crackdown. On the streets, people would casually harass young women. If anything happened to Lin Yuqing, Xu Junran would really have no face to return to see Yuan Xiaoyue.

Moreover, Xu Junran wasn't just being overly concerned. Cao Junwei himself knew that the security situation in the capital was not good. Due to the lack of material resources and spiritual emptiness, gangs of young hooligans were common, and fighting was prevalent. After school, the school gates would always be crowded with these hooligans, known in the capital as "du" (blocking) someone, meaning to block and fight. These hooligans usually had permed hair, and their standard attire was green or blue with red and white patches. Some wealthy ones wore floral shirts, sunglasses, and carried portable cassette players, playing music as they walked, quite a spectacle.

Moreover, the public security system was far from as complete as it would be later. In the future, a call to 110 would bring the police in five minutes, but in the 1980s, without communication tools, one had to report a fight to the unit's reception room, which generally did not lend out phones. Often, the police were nowhere to be seen before, during, or after a fight. Even someone of Cao Junwei's status would often encounter hooligans seeking trouble, but fortunately, his car had a military license plate, so most people didn't dare to touch him.

After giving a few more instructions to Cao Junwei and Lin Yuqing, Xu Junran turned and walked into the teaching building.

Lin Yuqing watched Xu Junran's back as he climbed the stairs, her gaze gradually becoming hazy. When Cao Junwei called her sister-in-law, she suddenly felt a sense of acceptance.

Walking through the corridors of the teaching building, Xu Junran's gaze swept over the students who were diligently studying in the classrooms. At that time, the academic atmosphere in universities was very strong, and it was common to see people of all ages, from teenagers to those in their thirties and forties, studying hard.

Coming to the door of an office, Xu Junran's lips curved into a smile, and he gently knocked on the door. A voice came from inside, "Please come in."

Entering the office, he saw a man in his thirties bent over a stack of homework, grading something. Hearing someone enter, he didn't look up but continued, "Sit down and wait a moment, I just have two more to finish."

Xu Junran didn't speak, just sat down on a chair and looked around the familiar office with interest.

After a moment, Xu Junran said leisurely, "Big Brother, this office seems to have been used by Professor Li, right?"

"Yes, Old Li changed offices..." The man's words were cut off as he suddenly looked up, staring at Xu Junran sitting in the chair by the door, his mouth wide open and eyes wide as if he had seen something strange, unable to speak for a long time.

Xu Junran smiled and slowly stood up, spreading his arms, and said to the stunned man, "Big Brother, I'm back."

The man's eyes reddened, stood up, walked around the desk, and gave Xu Junran a strong hug before slowly saying, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

Xu Junran smiled, "Big Brother, it's only been a few days, why are you acting like a woman? This doesn't seem like the wooden Cao Big Brother from our dorm."

Cao Junming lightly tapped Xu Junran's head, the youngest and most beloved brother in the dorm, and scolded with a smile, "You, you're such a quiet one. Why did you run back to Jiangnan alone after that incident instead of staying with us?"

A cold glint flashed in Xu Junran's eyes as he looked at one of the people he respected most in this life and the last, and said slowly, "A gentleman takes his revenge, no matter how long it takes."
