However, this is just wishful thinking, not very realistic.
Itâs not that thereâs a lack of financial resources or capability, but rather Lifeng Security and Yubao Square are in the east and west of the city, respectively, too far apart.
Commuting to work from either side is an issue.
If you take care of one, you canât manage the other, so thereâs no need to live together.
Gu Qiaoqiao temporarily dismissed this idea, but she also knew that if she had the time and experience, investing in some real estate would be a good plan.
"I kind of overlooked this," Gu Qiaoqiao said, somewhat embarrassed.
"No worries, in a few years, Iâll buy a big house," Boss Xu said boldly.
"Big Brother Xu, your wish will definitely come true, but your motorcycle is a bit old. You might want to get a new one first."
"I wonât replace it for now. I have sentimental feelings towards this bike. Back in the day, it made quite a splash," Boss Xu said with a smile.
"Big Brother Xu, how about this? Send your motorcycle and that young manâs bike for repairs together. It would be safer that way, right?"
"Alright, Iâll listen to you."
"Big Brother Xu, be careful on your way back. Iâll be in Jinling City for the next few days. If anything comes up, we can contact by phone."
"Sure, Iâll get going," Boss Xu nodded and said.
Gu Qiaoqiao waved at Boss Xu, who sped away on his motorcycle that rumbled like a tractor.
Despite the noise, it was quite fast.
Gu Qiaoqiao glanced once more at the nearby teahouse, her eyes flickered briefly, a dark light passed through them, and she smiled as she got into the car with Brother Li San, speeding towards the Gu Family courtyard.
Upon arriving at the Gu Family, Gu Qiaoqiao immediately found Chu Chengfeng, "Chengfeng, can you get in touch with your friend now?"
"Do you mean Captain Choo?"
"Yes, thatâs him."
"I can contact him. I have his office and home phone numbers."
"Good, I need to tell you something, and you need to pass it on to Captain Choo. Let him know that you received an anonymous tip-off that under the flower stand in the backyard of the Propitious Teahouse, run by One-Eyed Dragonâs father, a body is buried. The specific location is right beneath where the round table is..."
Chu Chengfeng was shocked to hear Gu Qiaoqiaoâs words and quickly asked, "Sister-in-law, how did you find out about this? Who told you? Didnât you just return from there?"
Xiao Wen pulled on Chu Chengfengâs arm, "Just say what youâre told to. Gu Qiaoqiao said it was an anonymous tip-off, so naturally, itâs inconvenient to reveal who it was."
Chu Chengfeng remained silent, quickly processing the situation.
"Chengfeng, do you think your friend will believe you if you tell him this?" asked Gu Qiaoqiao worriedly.
Chu Chengfeng finally responded, and after thinking for a moment, he asked Gu Qiaoqiao, "Sister-in-law, how sure are you?"
Gu Qiaoqiao replied confidently, "One hundred percent sure. Donât worry, as long as you go, you wonât have a wasted trip."
Chu Chengfeng gritted his teeth, "Alright, Iâll make the call now."
He then quickly walked to the phone, dialed a few numbers, and surprisingly, it was Captain Choo himself who answered the call.
Chu Chengfeng repeated everything Gu Qiaoqiao had said and then added seriously, "Da Jiang, I can stake my life on the authenticity of this information."
It seemed silent on the other end of the line for a moment, then Chu Chengfeng nodded after a pause, "Okay, if there are any follow-up actions needed, I will definitely cooperate."
Having said that, Chu Chengfeng hung up the phone.
"Sister-in-law, Captain Choo agreed. Heâs immediately applying to search the Qian Familyâs teahouse," Chu Chengfeng said with a hint of excitement.
Gu Qiaoqiao felt slightly relieved.
Exchanging a glance with Xiao Wen, Xiao Wen nodded at her. Gu Qiaoqiao said, "Chu Chengfeng, rest assured, this information is guaranteed to be accurate, and there will definitely be findings."
"Sister-in-law, did you find out anything from One-Eyed Dragonâs father?" Chu Chengfeng refrained from asking further about who provided the tip, as it was confidential, but he was curious about Gu Qiaoqiaoâs visit to the teahouse.
Gu Qiaoqiao shook her head, "Nothing much, Boss Qian seems to have no feelings for his son at all."
"Is there such a person?" Chu Chengfeng asked in surprise. "If he knows his son isnât a good person, why doesnât he report him? It would be a good deed, sacrificing personal interests for justice, and heâd gain a good reputation..."
Xiao Wen rolled her eyes at him, "Thatâs wishful thinking. Even a tiger doesnât eat its own cubs. No matter how much someone dislikes their son, they wouldnât willingly send him to prison, since heâs still the father of their grandson. Historically, how many have truly been able to sacrifice personal interests for justice?"
Chu Chengfeng chuckled, revealing a set of white teeth, "Xiao Wen is absolutely right!"
Gu Qiaoqiao covered her mouth, and Xiao Wen asked puzzled, "Whatâs wrong?"
"Thereâs a sour smell in the air," Gu Qiaoqiao teased.
"You cheeky girl," Xiao Wen giggled.
Understanding Gu Qiaoqiaoâs implication, Chu Chengfeng quickly said, "You two should rest early. Thereâs plenty to do tomorrow."
Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Chu Chengfeng, refraining from teasing him this time, and advised, "You should rest early as well."
Chu Chengfeng glanced at Xiao Wen, who smiled warmly at him. With a light step, he walked out.
The night grew deeper, and a new moon once again hung at the tip of the tree branch, the sky somewhat misty, making the crescent moon seem a bit unreal.
The city night finally grew gradually quiet.
The sound of insects chirping came from the corner of the courtyard.
Gu Qiaoqiao lay on the bed, though she wanted to use the Invisibility Talisman to have a look at Boss Qianâs teahouse, it was too late. Tomorrow, she had plans to visit Fang Qingâs unit to offer gratitude to the soldiers who carried out the mission that day, as well as the officers from the cityâs public security bureau who responded. All to express some thanks.
Even though itâs something they should do, as a military family member, Gu Qiaoqiao understands the selfless dedication of the military and public security personnel.
For Gu Qiaoqiao now, money isnât an issue. Moreover, Gu Lei had already purchased everything, practical items for the troops such as chicken, duck, fish, vegetables, fruits, and some tasty snacks.
The public security department didnât get chicken, duck, etc., but lots of supplements and fruits, as well as Jinling Cityâs best roast duck and other ready-to-eat foods were boughtânot much but enough, considering itâs the hot summer season.
So, tomorrow sheâll visit the public security bureau first and then the military unit, which will occupy the whole day.
There likely wonât be time for anything else.
The helicopter blocking the way belongs to a certain aviation unit connected solely with Qin Yize, so she didnât include those personnel.
Thatâs because itâs a covert ground crew unit known only to insiders, unknown even to Fang Qing.
Thus, finding someone to thank was impossible.
She entrusted this task to Qin Yize.
As for whatâs beneath the flower stand, it should be revealed the following day.
