I'm full of rebellion against fate

Chapter 217 The situation is getting more complicated

Everyone in the school fell into deep thought. Although the children playing on the street were playing in the wrong place, their wrong choice was not punishable by death.

There are five children on one side and only one child on the other side. Sacrificing the minority to save the majority is probably the only optimal solution.

But the child in the dead end was clearly in a safe place. He had done nothing wrong, but it was too cruel to let him die!

Gu Ziyi believed that the children had made the mistake first, so she said, "Let them bear the consequences of their mistakes. Sometimes this world is just so unreasonable."

Qian Hengduo objected, "If only one person sacrifices himself at the dead end, he can save many more."

Gu Wuyue’s choice was the same as Qian Hengduo’s, it is worth it to exchange less for more.

Gu Furong said, "This question is too difficult. I give up." She chose not to pull the reins. She couldn't make such an important decision.

Dongfang He watched the people in the school answer, then he looked at Gu Xingtao, who said decisively, "Then kill the horses. Without them, the carriage can't move forward, and both children can be saved!"

Gu Xingtao's answer made everyone's eyes light up. Pulling the reins or not was not their only option. They could also find other key points to break through the problem.

Chang Ningchen thought Gu Xingtao's answer was pretty good. Dongfang He nodded and said, "It's a good idea to not stick to the question itself, but if you really can only choose one, how would you choose?"

Gu Xingtao said, "Then we should choose the side with the majority and tell them to run. Those who can be awakened will naturally run away, and those who cannot be awakened will only feel the unfairness of fate. We cannot choose not to punish those who made mistakes just because they are in the majority."

The gears of history can only drive society forward under the guidance of the right people. Wrong guidance will only lead to stagnation. If the wrong direction is chosen, being crushed by the gears is inevitable.

Dongfang He nodded. This kid is very clear about rewards and punishments, and he is also very opinionated. He is a promising talent! Chang Ningchen is even more satisfied with Gu Wuyue's arithmetic ability. He thought that he could take Gu Wuyue to do business in the future.

Qian Hengduo found that two important people came today but he didn't perform well at all. He dropped the brush in frustration.

Chang Ningchen's attention was drawn back to Qian Hengduo along with the brush. He then remembered that he was supposed to check on Qian Hengduo today. He quickly said, "Wu Yue and Qian Hengduo performed very well. Come with me to the Chamber of Commerce to study tomorrow!"

Gu Wuyue and Qian Hengduo were very happy when they heard this, and they immediately expressed their gratitude to Chang Ningchen.

It would be easier to observe if you pulled someone close to you! Chang Ningchen happily took Gu Xingtao home from school. Dongfang He planned to catch up on Gu Xingtao's homework and then go to the army with him.

Chang Ningchen asked Gu Xingtao curiously, "Taotao, why do you think Qian Hengduo is Furong's friend? They don't seem to interact much, and they sit so far away from each other."

Gu Xingtao told Chang Ningchen with a mysterious look on her face: "Mr. Qian and my aunt both use the same brand of brushes, and Mr. Qian often smells of my aunt's rouge. It's not strong, but I can smell it!"

When Chang Ningchen heard what Gu Xingtao said, he felt something was wrong, because the brushes used by Gu Wuyue and Gu Ziyi looked similar. Isn't this the standard brush of the Gu family?

He asked, "I see your uncle and aunt have the same brushes in their hands."

Gu Xingtao took out his brush and showed it to Chang Ningchen. He said, "The Qian family is in the lacquerware business. Their brushes are considered Gu Cheng's best. Although my brush is good, it is not as good as his. It is very likely that the brushes of the other two people were also given by him."

Chang Ningchen thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that Qian Hengduo gave Gu Furong a few extra ones, and she shared them with others?"

Gu Xingtao shook his head and said that he was not sure about this.

Feeling that things seemed to be getting complicated, Chang Ningchen questioned the name Qian Hengduo.

Dongfang He said, "I sent someone to check Qian Hengduo's background. His family is also a well-known family in Gucheng. People around him think Qian Hengduo is a good person and very friendly. The old teacher also praised his homework. I think he is quite good. Gu Furong would not be too bad if she married him."

Chang Ningchen thought for a moment and said, "Let me test him a few more times. If he's really good, then it's definitely him!"

So in the past few days, Qian Hengduo's life would suddenly include an old man who fell down, someone's lost gold ingots, and the shopkeeper's account books left everywhere.

Qian Hengduo, who was full of questions, helped the old man up, took the gold ingots and other lost items, and helped the shopkeeper find the account book. He was friendly and enthusiastic, which made Chang Ningchen feel very satisfied.

That day, Chang Ningchen took Gu Wuyue and Qian Hengduo out together. After they settled the bill at Gu's shop, they found a noodle restaurant to eat noodles.

Gu Wuyue ate his noodles slowly and leisurely, Qian Hengduo also ate very politely, but Chang Ningchen ate his bowl of noodles in a hurry and looked like a starving ghost.

Gu Wuyue and Qian Hengduo wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare. Perhaps it was because they were influenced by Chang Ningchen while being together, but they both felt that drinking soup from a bowl was much more enjoyable than using a spoon.

Gu Wuyue felt very satisfied after taking a big sip of soup, but his face was stained with chopped green onions. Qian Hengduo took out a handkerchief and considerately helped Gu Wuyue wipe his mouth. The interaction between the two was intimate and beautiful.

Being young is great! Wait, does this scene look too intimate? Chang Ningchen recalled Qian Hengduo's interactions with Gu Wuyue with some caution. He felt that the relationship between these two people was a little beyond friendship.

But isn't Qian Hengduo Gu Furong's boyfriend?! Is this another love triangle? Or is Qian Hengduo a sea king?!

Thinking of this, several people returned to the Chamber of Commerce. Qian Hengduo saw that Shopkeeper Wang frowned. He pulled Chang Ningchen over and whispered, "Mr. Qiao, I think this Shopkeeper Wang seems to be coveting Master Gu Wu."

"Huh?! I don't even understand your side, how did you bring Shopkeeper Wang into this again?" Full of questions, Chang Ningchen looked over at the counter where Shopkeeper Wang was warmly greeting Gu Wuyue. The two of them seemed to have a good relationship, and Gu Wuyue was smiling happily at Shopkeeper Wang.

Shopkeeper Wang was very friendly towards Gu Wuyue and always taught him carefully how to do the accounting. Other shopkeepers were more or less reserved, but Shopkeeper Wang treated Gu Wuyue as if he was willing to give him all his family fortune. Although Shopkeeper Wang was already in his thirties and almost forty, he looked very gentle and like a polite uncle, very charming.

Chang Ningchen looked at the beautiful Gu Wuyue, stroking his chin as he pondered, was Gu Wuyue actually following the script of a heartthrob?! A peerless seductress?

This idea is too unreliable! Returning home with a question mark, Chang Ningchen threw all the questions to Dongfang He and asked him to help process the information.

Dongfang He hugged Chang Ningchen and said, "Shopkeeper Wang used to be a servant in the Gu family in his early years and had a good relationship with Gu Wuyue. I guess Shopkeeper Wang also regarded him as a friend. There is nothing strange about them."
