Hu Bing found himself intrigued by the woman before him. She was no ordinary woman, that much was clear. Not only did she handle situations with an impressive calm, but her respect for Su Shen's wishes was evident. She had agreed to Su Shen's request not to return to the military, a testament to her uniqueness.
Moreover, he had heard whispers around town about her. Gu Zi and her sister-in-law had opened a successful restaurant, Sister Hua's Gourmet Shop, which had even attracted the attention of the local newspaper.
Hu Bing had done some research. Gu Zi had grown up in a military compound in the city, where she had always excelled. She had even been engaged to the son of a high-ranking official, Gong. However, due to a mix-up at birth, she had ended up in Daqing Village, married to Su Shen.
