Chapter 1483: No One Can Stop His Advance

A moment later, Captain Su turned his head and looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, calmly saying, "I have to go back to the office; I’m leaving now."

With that, he turned around and strode towards the door.

His speed was so swift that when Gu Qiaoqiao tried to catch up and see him off at the door, she found he was already far away, and she only managed to throw a Barrier Talisman on his back.

This talisman was specially designed for ordinary people.

After receiving it, life would seem as usual, but in an unexpected situation, it could play an unimaginable role.

Gu Qiaoqiao sighed softly, realizing that Captain Su was determined to catch the leader of Huang Yu, even at the cost of his life.

At this moment, it was apparent that Big Brother Su had been hoping for this for a long time.

No one could stop his advancing footsteps.

Then, when Gu Qiaoqiao turned around, she saw Xiao Shuang’s reluctant expression that hadn’t been retracted in time, and Gu Qiaoqiao seemed to realize something.

This Xiao Shuang liked Captain Su.

Gu Qiaoqiao then glanced at the corridor, which was now empty, and thought about the task Captain Su had entrusted to her before leaving. Qiaoqiao thought that Xiao Shuang’s feelings might be one-sided...

However, evidently, Xiao Shuang didn’t mind these things. She smiled at Gu Qiaoqiao and said softly, "Qiaoqiao, you haven’t had a good rest for two nights. Tonight, I’ll stand guard outside. You should have a good sleep."

Gu Qiaoqiao shook her head and replied softly, "I’m fine, but you and Xiao Zhang have been working really hard these past two days."

"Qiaoqiao, this is what Xiao Zhang and I should do," Xiao Shuang said righteously.

Xiao Zhang was sent to ensure Qin Yize’s safety. Since the entire floor had been secured, it was safe, but ensuring safety was still Gu Qiaoqiao’s primary concern.

Gu Qiaoqiao smiled at Xiao Shuang, and the two chatted for a while about other topics before Gu Qiaoqiao entered the hospital room. Xiao Shuang’s eyes flashed with a hint of admiration, amazed at Gu Qiaoqiao’s strength at such a young age.

Seeing how they interacted, even though one was unconscious, Xiao Shuang could tell that the bond between them was definitely deep.

Thinking of this, Xiao Shuang felt a twinge of indescribable envy. She remembered the decisive back view from earlier, clenched her hand at her side, her expression dimmed again. She had a lot on her mind, things she couldn’t share with anyone, not even her best friend. She dared not let them know she had feelings for Captain Su.

It was time for rounds again. Even though Xiao Shuang knew this floor was very secure, she meticulously patrolled, as the identity of the patient in the room was extraordinary. Originally, the military district was supposed to send someone, but to avoid adding pressure on the hospital, the branch office was entrusted to assign the most capable Xiao Zhang to assist her with the task.

They each had their own duties; one would patrol while the other was on duty in the adjacent room. It was impossible for both of them to leave.

Xiao Shuang held a police baton and flashlight, slowly moving to the other side.

Meanwhile, Gu Qiaoqiao sat on the sofa in the lounge, next to the telephone. She had Grandpa Luo’s number in her hand, hesitating whether to call him.

After all, Qin Yize’s mission had nothing to do with her; as an ordinary person, she wasn’t supposed to be involved in such matters. But she had a strange feeling, a feeling that was actually quite accurate. Gu Qiaoqiao thought that the person named Huang Tiekou was definitely related to the Northern Granary fire.

This was also Qin Yize’s task.

Thinking of this, Gu Qiaoqiao hesitated a bit. Maybe she didn’t need to think too seriously, just test the waters a bit.

If it was possible, it was possible; if not, she wouldn’t get involved. Perhaps she could provide some clues, provided the other party shared some details of the mission with her.

With this thought, Gu Qiaoqiao dialed the phone. At this hour, Elder Luo should be home. She dialed the number for Elder Luo’s home.

Coincidentally, it was Luo Zhenyu who answered. Hearing it was Gu Qiaoqiao, Luo Zhenyu frowned a bit. He already knew from Elder Shen about Qin Yize’s incident, but they had kept it from the Gu and Qin families, planning to fly Qin Yize to the Imperial Capital with a helicopter if there was no progress after the consultation. Elder Shen had already arranged for top domestic doctors there.

As for not calling Gu Qiaoqiao, they knew this child had always been strong and didn’t want to burden her. Yet, unexpectedly, Gu Qiaoqiao called him today.

"Qiaoqiao, what can I help you with?" Luo Zhenyu asked concernedly.

It was so late; there must be something important if Qiaoqiao called him at this time.

On the other end, Gu Qiaoqiao hesitated for a moment and then said, "Grandpa Luo, Ah Ze is in trouble..."

Maybe because it was the first time contacting a relative from the Imperial Capital, Gu Qiaoqiao felt both sad and aggrieved, her voice choking up involuntarily.

Luo Zhenyu quickly said, "Qiaoqiao, Elder Shen and I are already aware of this. The hospital in the Imperial Capital is all set; if Sky Sea City can’t find the exact cause, we’ll fly him there..."

At this moment, tears involuntarily flowed from Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes. Perhaps only in front of family and friends did she truly feel like a twenty-year-old girl.

She actually couldn’t bear the weight of this alone.

Gu Qiaoqiao sobbed and asked, "Grandpa Luo, you already knew?"

"Yes, we found out immediately. However, we didn’t inform the Gu and Qin families, considering all factors..."

"I didn’t call them either..." At this point, Gu Qiaoqiao was already too choked up to speak,

Her supposed strength fell apart in front of Elder Luo’s few words, which was also the reason Gu Qiaoqiao hadn’t called her family.

"Qiaoqiao, you’re a good child. We know it’s been hard on you these past few days, so we didn’t call you to avoid adding to your burden. Listen to Grandpa Luo, stop crying. Ah Ze’s physical functions are all normal, which is the best news. In this world, there is no problem that can’t be solved. Trust Grandpa Luo!"

Luo Zhenyu earnestly persuaded Gu Qiaoqiao.

Gu Qiaoqiao wanted to tell him that Qin Yize’s soul was actually no longer in his body, but thought better of it and swallowed the words. For now, she couldn’t say it—though Luo Zhenyu had once had an extraordinary encounter, and had received help from her spiritual energy—such incredible matters were best kept from him, for now.
