Gu Bei and Lin Feifan walked up quickly. They thought they had something to say, but Gu Bei noticed the impatience in his sister's expression.

After taking a look at Lin Feifan, it was obvious that the latter had also noticed it. The two of them stepped forward to stop Yi Yuan from saying anything. Gu Bei looked at Tang Hua and asked, "Are you going back?"

Tang Hua looked at the two of them with admiration, then nodded to Yi Yuan and left.

Lin Feifan followed behind Tang Hua, but Gu Bei stood there, looking at Yi Yuan and said, "Put away your little thoughts and don't disturb her. She is not someone you can covet."

Yi Yuan's thoughts were revealed, and he said angrily, "You are just her guard. Why do you make her decisions?"

"Oh, who told you I was her bodyguard? Besides, what else could I rely on? She has a boyfriend."

Gu Bei sneered and said, "And because I'm her brother."

Yi Yuan's face turned very ugly. He gritted his teeth, and finally turned and left without saying anything. He would not give up. He was just a researcher, and his uncle was the commander of the army here. To get a person, all he had to do was say a word.

Looking at Yi Yuan's departing back, Gu Bei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was obvious that this man had bad intentions. It seemed that he would have to stay with his sister all the time.

At this time, Lin Feifan came over and patted Gu Bei on the shoulder, "Don't worry, he can't hurt Comrade Tang..."

Gu Bei nodded, and they left together.

The next day after get off work, Yi Yuan took advantage of the convenience to go to the garrison and find his uncle Yi Qiang. Yi said, "Uncle, I have taken a fancy to a new female researcher, but she doesn't like me."

Yi Qiang frowned and said, "You don't work hard after coming here. Do you want to be sent back to Kyoto? No one can help you then."

"I really just hope to establish a relationship with her, and I haven't done anything inappropriate! But what bothers me is that there are guards following her all the time, which makes it impossible for me to get close to her at all." Yi Yuan complained with a sad face.

Hearing this, another person nodded thoughtfully and responded: "She has a guard following her, so she must be someone very important, right? Do you know the name of her guard?"

After a brief thought, Yi Yuan nodded and replied, "I heard someone call him Captain Gu this morning."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Qiang's brows suddenly frowned, and his body quickly straightened up. He then asked anxiously: "Is there another middle-aged man accompanying him to protect the woman?"

Faced with this sudden inquiry, Yi Yuan couldn't help but feel a little surprised, but he still answered truthfully: "Indeed, there is a middle-aged man who has been accompanying her. Why, uncle, do you know them?"

At this moment, looking at his uncle's solemn expression, Yi Yuan himself couldn't help but become nervous.

Yi Qiang took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and asked again: "So, have you ever offended any of them?"

Yi Yuan recalled the incident carefully and finally shook his head, saying that apart from the two accidental encounters that day that brought them closer, the rest of the time he had no way of getting close to the other party because of the other party's strict guard.

Seeing his nephew shaking his head in denial, Yi Qiang finally breathed a sigh of relief and earnestly warned: "That's good. Remember not to provoke them again in the future. You must know that these people are all from Kyoto, and they are all powerful people. They are definitely not something that ordinary people like us can easily afford to provoke!"

Yi Qiang patted Yi Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Yuan'er, listen to my advice and stay away from them in the future. To them, we are just ordinary people. Don't mess with these powerful people."

Although Yi Yuan was unwilling, he knew that his uncle's words made sense, so he nodded and said, "Nephew understands."

Tang Hua's life finally returned to normal, and Gu Bei and Lin Feifan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As the year draws to a close, the sky seems to be torn open, and snowflakes are falling day after day without stopping. However, such bad weather did not affect Tang Hua's work pace, but made her even busier.

In the past, Tang Hua could always finish her work at 8pm, but now the situation is very different. Because she needs to spend two extra days to go to the weapons research and development department to help solve related problems, she has to postpone her get off work time to after 10pm every night.

For Tang Hua, these days were undoubtedly full of challenges and pressures. And Mr. Yan, who was in charge of the weapons research room, was anxious and eagerly waiting all day.

If he had not known that Tang Hua was here to participate in a more critical scientific research project, he would have been unable to resist making a suggestion: he hoped that Tang Hua could devote the entire five working days to weapons research, leaving only two days for personal affairs.

Faced with such a situation, Tang Hua felt helpless. In the end, the director had to go in person to discuss the matter with Mr. Yan, and solemnly promised that he would properly resolve all the problems regarding the weapons research laboratory before leaving.

That day, Tang Hua was busy in the laboratory when she suddenly heard someone calling her.

She looked up and saw that it was the director. The director told her that the higher-ups attached great importance to the research and development of the new type of weapon she was drawing later and hoped to see results as soon as possible.

Tang Hua's heart tightened, knowing that something must have happened and that the next task would be even more difficult.

She nodded firmly, indicating that she would do her best.

Seeing this, the director smiled with satisfaction, encouraged her a few words, and then left.

Tang Hua took a deep breath and returned to her work. Time was pressing and she had to race against time. She added one more day to the original two days to visit Mr. Yan.

Because she didn't know what was going on in Kyoto, she didn't concentrate on her research and accidentally splashed the liquid in the test tube onto her hand.

A sharp pain came and Tang Hua couldn't help but frown.

But she simply treated the wound and continued to work. She knew that now was not the time to be squeamish and she had to hurry up to finish the work and find time to teleport to Kyoto.

It was already 10:30 pm when she came out of the institute. Gu Bei and Lin Feifan were still waiting for her at the door. Gu Bei noticed that her hand was wrapped in gauze and asked, "Are you hurt?"

Tang Hua looked at her hands and said, "Uncle Lin, please work hard tonight and don't let anyone enter my room. Brother Gu Bei, take this invisibility talisman. Meet me after 11:30 and we'll go out together."

Lin Feifan nodded first, then asked worriedly, "Is everything okay?"

Tang Hua shook her head and said, "It's okay. Just keep an eye on it secretly and don't let anyone get close." She wanted to go back with Brother Gu Bei.
