A Lonely Hero’s Journey 孤舟 Episode 6

Xiao Ruotong was heartbroken because of Gu Yizhong's death and said nothing for several days. Zhou Zhenwu comforted her but was blamed by him. She thought it was Zhou Zhenwu who killed Gu Yizhong. Zhou Zhenwu thought deeply and said that although Gu Yizhong died, his innocence had been proven. He guessed the identity of "Cell No. 8", and Xiao Ruotong calmly reminded that the two of them were also among the suspects and needed to proceed with caution.

Zhou Zhifei and Jin Jiang lurked outside the gate of Guyuan, closely monitoring the goings-on in the garden. After Gu Yizhong's unfortunate death, his body was transported home on the first day, and a coffin was quietly carried in the next day. Gu Xixing stayed behind closed doors, appearing extremely silent. Mentioning Gu Xixing, Jin Jiang couldn't help but show admiration. Even though he was faltering, his eyes were extremely sharp and awe-inspiring. Zhou Zhifei was also deeply moved, believing that Gu Yizhong's death was actually his personal choice and not what he wanted. He worriedly pointed out that Gu Yizhong's death may make the activities of "Cell No. 8" more suspicious.

At the same time, Gu Huizhong returned home with Hu Zhiping with her baby in her arms. Hu Zhiping carried whitebait in his hand and wanted to supplement his wife's nutrition. Gu Huizhong was grateful and felt that she had chosen the right partner. She asked about the news about Gu Yizhong with concern, and Hu Zhiping told the sad news that Gu Yizhong was killed by the agents. Hearing this, Gu Huizhong burst into tears, filled with regret, and regretted that she had not been able to let Gu Yizhong leave with them in the first place to avoid this tragedy.

After the funeral of Gu Xixing's family settled, Agent No. 70's surveillance was also removed. At this time, Haimo quietly appeared in the hospital with a food box, opened the ward door, and saw the "resurrected" Gu Yizhong lying on the hospital bed. It turned out that after Xiao Ruotong was injured, Haimo bravely rescued her from the brink of death and secretly sent her to the hospital, which allowed Gu Yizhong to be reborn.

Haimo not only took good care of Gu Yizhong, but also took care of Gu Xixing's health, supervising him to take medicine on time and preventing him from secretly pouring medicine. Gu Xixing was deeply moved by her dedication. He already loved Haimo as his own daughter and told her to keep the secret that Gu Yizhong was still alive.

On the other side, at Zhou Zhifei's home, he received a heavy box of gold bars, which was a generous gift from Wang Zemin in exchange for being appointed as the governor of Wu County. Zhou Zhifei knew very well that Mr. Li's influence was behind this gift. As a confidant of Mr. Li, he has always been loyal to Mr. Li and handed over most of the gifts he received intact to show his loyalty.

After Zhou Zhifei said goodbye to his son, he received a threatening letter from Quan Shui and decided to meet and set up a dark network. However, Quan Shui gets as close as rekindling an old relationship, and instantly sees through Zhou Zhifei's arrangement, and reveals his sniper plan. The two sides faced off, but Zhou Zhifei did not dare to act rashly. Quan Shui handed Xu Zeng'en a letter, urging for a reply, and unexpectedly revealed the secret of Gu Yizhong's survival. Zhou Zhifei had a complicated heart, and the intertwining of his emotions for the spring and the severity of the situation made him deep in thought, weighing the pros and cons, and considering how to deal with this sudden change.
