Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 511: Are they engaging in some illegal or criminal activities on the border?

The door to Zhou Yichen's office wasn't opened until quite some time after Gu Beizhan had finished adjusting and left.

Gao Ziyou came out with him, and the two didn't seem so tense. Gao Ziyou even had a slight smile on his face.

Chu Xin would never believe that the two had forgiven each other and forgotten their past grievances.

To be honest, if the two of them had come out with cold faces or even injured, she wouldn't have been very curious about what happened in the office.

But if things were like this now, she really couldn't resist her curiosity.

In particular, Chu Yunting gave Gao Ziyou a cold look, saying, "What are you doing here again? Don't you know we don't like you?"

Gao Ziyou ignored him. He hadn't come here today specifically to show off his toughness and courage. A little unpleasantness was nothing compared to his ultimate goal.

After nodding to Zhou Yichen, he left directly.

Zhou Yichen was left facing two puzzled people who were waiting for him to answer their questions.

As a participant and witness to all the events, Chu Yunting urgently needs a reasonable explanation for seeing his "comrade" "betray" him.

"Old Zhou, tell me what's going on here!"

Zhou Yichen thought for a moment before saying, "He wants to make a deal with me using the truth of one thing, asking me to help him investigate his stepmother."

Chu Yunting choked, "No, what would he have to trade with us? Besides, he's the eldest grandson of the Gao family, how could he not even have the means to investigate his own stepmother?"

Chu Xin didn't understand the first half, but she could tell a thing or two about the second half.

"It's precisely because he's the eldest grandson of the Gao family that he doesn't have many capable people at his disposal."

Even if he has one or two trusted confidants, they are all under the watchful eyes of the Gao family. As soon as he makes a move, someone will know what he is planning to do.

He had no one else available, so he had no choice but to come to Zhou Yichen!

When Chu Yunting spoke of Gao Ziyou, he couldn't keep a pleasant expression on his face. If Zhou Yichen weren't his good brother, he would have given him the cold shoulder long ago.

Reluctantly accepting Chu Xin's explanation, he then looked at Zhou Yichen, suppressing his dissatisfaction, and asked:

"Then tell me, what is there to trade with someone like him who has a mental illness?"

Zhou Yichen was not angry at his attitude, but said in a deep voice:

"This is related to the 1962 Sino-Indian War. Do you remember when our troops were on a border patrol mission, they were suddenly provoked by the Indian side on the grounds of illegal entry, which resulted in heavy casualties for the entire patrol team."

Gao Ziyou was in that team back then; he was the only survivor from Yang Feng's team. He's here today to talk about this.

Chu Yunting certainly remembered.

That was their shared pain.

The team leader was originally supposed to be Zhou Yichen, but because his family was already discussing transferring him to another department, the task fell to Yang Feng.

Later, when things went wrong, seeing the bodies being carried back one by one, Zhou Yichen almost went crazy. If Zhou Wen and Chu Yunting hadn't desperately stopped him, he might have gone to the Indian side alone to kill people.

Chu Yunting fell silent after hearing this.

But he truly didn't trust someone like Gao Ziyou.

He then cursed inwardly, "That bastard is too cunning. He knows exactly where Zhou Yichen's sore spot is, yet he still insists on trying to get attention."

"What if he's lying? What could he possibly know? If he really knew, he would have said so already. Why is he only saying it now? Is that kid deliberately trying to trick you into helping him?"

Besides, he's really sick; can he take responsibility for what he says?

Zhou Yichen: "So I haven't agreed to him yet. I need to investigate this matter first."

"Back then, we all thought Yang Feng and the others' deaths were caused by an accidental conflict. But if what Gao Ziyou said is true, then the person who arranged that border patrol mission had impure motives."

Who would deliberately create chaos and kill him before he was transferred to another department?

Zhou Yichen felt a heavy weight on his heart, something he had never experienced in the years he had spent in the Central Special Branch.

Today, Gao Ziyou brought up the old matter again, which was like moving a huge mountain to weigh on his heart.

Seeing their cryptic expressions, Chu Xin didn't inquire about the specifics first. Instead, she asked Zhou Yichen, "Is the Yang Feng you're talking about related to Yang Zheng, who was entrusted by you to secretly take care of my family in Su Province?"

Chu Xin could make so many connections just from hearing a name; Zhou Yichen could only say she was too perceptive.

"Yes, Yang Feng was Yang Zheng's older brother. After Yang Feng's death, he was greatly affected and soon retired from the army."

Chu Xin nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "Yang Zheng knows medicine, right?"

"Yes, his family has been practicing traditional Chinese medicine for generations, but Yang Feng said he had no talent for it, so his family did their best to cultivate Yang Zheng."

Yang Zheng was exposed to Western medicine because of his studies, so he was both a soldier and a team doctor in our unit.

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder he took a portion of the medicine he had left for Aunt Yanli before leaving in Su Province; he must have been doing research.

Judging from Zhou Yichen's words, his medical skills must be quite good. Doctors all have a common trait: they are very observant.

If there were really something fishy about Yang Feng's death, then Yang Zheng should have noticed something amiss with his brother's body long ago.

As for why he didn't say it and instead chose to retire from the military, it's safe to assume there were reasons he couldn't reveal.

She shared her thoughts with Zhou Yichen.

After a while.

"boom!"

Zhou Yichen suddenly slammed his fist on the table, punching a hole through it.

Why didn't Yang Zheng say anything?

Chu Yunting was also feeling unwell, his eyes slightly red.

They were all comrades-in-arms. Among those who came out together at the same time, apart from Gao Ziyou, that lunatic, everyone was as close as brothers.

"Because you're leaving the military!"

As an observer, Chu Xin saw things more clearly: "He probably didn't want you to be involved in these things after you left, so he chose to investigate himself."

However, one person's strength is too weak, and over the past four or five years, he should not have made much progress.

But Chu Xin has something more to worry about now.

Zhou Yichen had said that he wasn't very sure about Yang Zheng's whereabouts, and sometimes contacting him was just a matter of luck. Chu Xin reasonably suspected that he probably wouldn't stay in the country for long, but rather cross the border.

The thought that he knew medicine and had taken away her rather unusual drugs made Chu Xin a little dramatic.

Could it be that Yang Zheng, after failing to exact revenge for so long, has turned to the dark side and is now engaging in illegal and criminal activities on the border?
