Chapter 213 - 213 213 Qin Yize Like a Gust of Wind

Chapter 213: Chapter 213: Qin Yize Like a Gust of Wind Chapter 213: Chapter 213: Qin Yize Like a Gust of Wind Gu Qiaoqiao’s cooking skills were superior to those of the chefs at the restaurant.

“I’ll take you for Western food, something that your sister definitely hasn’t made for you,” Luo Fan changed his mind.

Gu Qianqian nodded, her words muffled, “Let’s talk about it tomorrow. You go answer the phone, stop talking to me. I might choke.”

Luo Fan couldn’t help but laugh silently.

Still, he poured water for Gu Qianqian before heading to the office on the other side.

Upon seeing Luo Fan, Chang Qing spoke to Gu Qiaoqiao on the other end of the phone, “Sister Qiaoqiao, Brother Luo Fan is back now, you guys talk.”

Having said that, he handed the phone to Luo Fan.

Luo Fan gently patted Chang Qing’s shoulder, “Go have dinner with Qianqian.”

Chang Qing smiled, replying affirmatively and turned to head to the lounge.

Only then did Luo Fan begin to speak, “Qiaoqiao, what did you want to see me for?”

Gu Qiaoqiao briefed Luo Fan on the events of the day.

Luo Fan’s hand tightened around the phone.

A hint revealed the whole situation.

He knew why Gu Qiaoqiao had called.

It must have been because she knew about the relationship between the Luo Family and the Gu Family, so she called to give a preemptive warning.

He thought, if Gu Yajing really approached him and if he really agreed,

then his friendship with Gu Qiaoqiao might end there.

However, Gu Qiaoqiao only knew one side of the story.

He had no affection at all for those two sisters from the Gu family.

One was domineering and arrogant, the other pretentious.

It wasn’t just about Uncle Gu. Even if it had nothing to do with Uncle Gu, he wouldn’t care for them.

Luo Fan looked at Gu Qianqian, who was eating joyously in the lounge, his eyes soft, his voice playfully reassuring, “Qiaoqiao, don’t worry. Your Brother Luo Fan will definitely not abet the tyrant. Not only will I not help the tyrant, but I’ll also uphold justice for you.”

Gu Qiaoqiao felt relieved.

Upon hearing that Gu Qianqian was dining in the lounge with Chang Qing, she decided not to bother talking with the thoughtless girl.

Instead, she talked to Luo Fan for a few more moments before hanging up.

Only then did Gu Qiaoqiao head back to her room, feeling at ease.

By then, it was past ten at night. Only then did Gu Qiaoqiao feel tired. Her head hit the pillow, and she fell into a deep sleep.

It seemed that in her deep sleep, a familiar scent approached, and Gu Qiaoqiao turned over and slept even more soundly.

The next morning, Gu Qiaoqiao found out that Qin Yize had returned.

He was sitting quietly on the sofa in their room’s living room, looking at a document in his hands.

Seeing Gu Qiaoqiao wake up, he slowly curved his lips.

His voice slightly husky, “You’re awake?”

“Mm,” Gu Qiaoqiao murmured softly, then asked, “Did you come back last night?”

“I came back after midnight, and I’ll leave again soon.”

Gu Qiaoqiao asked surprisingly, “Leaving again soon?”

Qin Yize nodded.

He then set the document aside and asked Gu Qiaoqiao, “How have you been recently?”

Gu Qiaoqiao told Qin Yize about the events of the past few days.

Qin Yize listened quietly.

In the end, he showed an appreciative smile, “Well done.”

“Really, do you think so?” Gu Qiaoqiao wasn’t so sure herself, as she hadn’t experienced this in her previous life.

She didn’t know if there were areas where she might have gone wrong,

Now hearing Qin Yize say it like this, she felt utterly stable and secure.

“Yes, given your current situation, taking the initiative to reveal your identity would do more harm than good. It’s been so many years, so there’s no need to rush.”

“What do you think, will Gu Jianhua from Qingshui County make a move against my family?”

Qin Yize thought for a moment before speaking, “Gu Jianhua is currently going down to train, he will cherish the feathers on his own body since he is the best candidate to inherit the entire Gu Family business. However, human hearts are unpredictable, so it’s better to be careful. I’ll call Zhou Xing and have him keep an eye on things.”

Zhou Xing is an extremely sharp and proactive person. With him around, it seemed a lot safer.

Gu Qiaoqiao nodded and asked, “When are we heading back to Border City?”

“We’ll head back once the work here is arranged.”

“I plan to bring the Old Patriarch Gu with me when we go.”

“That’s fine,” Qin Yize agreed without a moment’s hesitation.

“I guess by then, the Old Patriarch’s health will have mostly recovered.”

“No worries, we’ll still drive there, it’s easier to handle anything that comes up.”

Qin Yize said gently.

“Was the Old Patriarch’s car accident deliberate or accidental?” Gu Qiaoqiao asked.

“On the surface, it looks accidental. The other party didn’t shirk any responsibility and even took the initiative to take the Old Patriarch to the hospital. Unless something unexpected happens, it should be deemed as fatigue driving.”

It seemed like Ning Wanru’s usual tactic.

Gu Qiaoqiao blinked and said, “The method seems quite familiar.”

“You’re talking about Uncle’s issue, aren’t you.”

“Yes.”

“There are no leads there for now, but we can target Gu Yajing. Since they dared to take Uncle’s life, they shouldn’t have any reservations.”

Qin Yize said calmly.

Gu Qiaoqiao thought, it’s not just Gu Tianfeng’s life they are after, they want the entire Gu Family.

She asked, “Gu Yajing is abusing her power for personal gain, but at most she would just be criticized, right? How can you target her?”

Criticism is trivial and ineffective.

“There’s a way, just stay home and wait for news today.”

“Okay.” Gu Qiaoqiao smiled and then remembered that she hadn’t washed her face yet, “I’m going to freshen up.”

After speaking, she hurried off.

When she came out, she found Qin Yize was already eating breakfast in the dining room, and seeing his briefcase placed aside, she knew he was about to leave after breakfast.

Seeing the weary look on his face, Gu Qiaoqiao thought, could it be that Qin Yize came back specifically to see how I was doing?

Qin Yize was still worried, but it was much better than at first.

He realized, although Gu Qiaoqiao was young, she was very steady in handling problems, and her attitude towards Gu Qingfeng was a mix of truth and falsehood, tangible and intangible.

She could advance or retreat!

After all, fifty years had passed, and Grandpa Gu had also left this world, not everything is as assumed.

The fake Gu Kun could enter the Gu Family unimpeded because he posed no threat to Gu Cheng.

If Gu Qiaoqiao and her family return to the Gu Family, naturally, it would require quite an effort.

Although Gu Cheng is an adopted son, fifty years have established a legal father-son relationship, and he has the right to inherit everything from Gu Qingfeng.

Yet, Gu Tianfeng could only come in second.

But these are secondary.

The important thing is, the safety of Gu Qiaoqiao and her family must be ensured.

Although Gu Jianhua was monitoring Gu Tianfeng in Qingshui County, it was not his territory.

It’s said that even a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake.

With Zhou Xing there, it was actually safer than in the Imperial Capital.

Moreover, they would soon leave the Imperial Capital for Border City.

So, the best strategy for now is to respond to changes with constancy.

Qin Yize left like a gust of wind.

Before leaving, he left Gu Qiaoqiao a bag full of stone bullets.
