Chapter 119: Chapter 119 Going to the City Hospital After all, the water was just too cold. Zhou Xing felt as though his body had plunged into an ice cellar. Despite being a tough northerner and wearing a military coat, he still couldn’t fend off the bone-chilling cold. Moreover, he was worried that his subordinates would really freeze into illness. And Gu Tianfeng, being the person involved, had many questions to be asked of him. So, without saying much, he followed and got into Luo Fan’s car. The car was imported, and to their surprise, even had a heater inside. At that moment, the two men felt as if they had come back to life. Gu Qiaoqiao looked down at her unconscious father, Gu Tianfeng, as her tears dripped down steadily; the others maintained their silence. And who could know that this nightmare, once thought to be suppressed, had now resurfaced in Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart. Hatred was spreading quietly. Who exactly was it that harmed her father in such a way? Was Sun Chuxia’s incident a coincidence, or was someone behind it? It was unknown at the moment. But Gu Qiaoqiao firmly believed that Sun Chuxia would not come to Stone Town without reason. And exactly who were those two fake police officers? All of this would eventually come down to whether they could pry open Sun Chuxia’s mouth. Gu Qiaoqiao brushed aside the thoughts in her eyes and took her father’s hand, once again sending a warm breath into Gu Tianfeng’s body. And Gu Tianfeng’s complexion was gradually improving. Gu Qiaoqiao also wanted to share some warmth with Zhou Xing and the young officer, but there wasn’t a good way to do so. It was not as if she could start holding their hands. They could only wait until they arrived in the city. Soon, the car quickly reached the city hospital. Having connections certainly makes things easier. Once there, Luo Fan made just one phone call, and everything was arranged. Only then did Zhou Xing realize Luo Fan’s true identity. This shocked him, but at the same time, he felt a strange sense of excitement. Knowing the grandson of Elder Luo was indeed an unexpected pleasure for him. Not because of Elder Luo’s status, but because he had read an article about Elder Luo and admired him from the bottom of his heart. And he had not expected that Gu Qiaoqiao and Luo Fan were well-acquainted. The Qin Family’s circle must have included them, after all. But the Gu Family must also be out of the ordinary. Who would have the audacity to strike at the Qin Family’s in-laws, a friend of the Luo Family? This matter might not be as simple as it appeared on the surface. Zhou Xing’s expression was very solemn as he looked at Gu Tianfeng in the emergency room and turned to make a phone call. After ensuring her father was out of danger, Gu Qiaoqiao hurriedly called home. As soon as she did, Gu Qianqian picked up. Obviously, she had been sitting by the phone, waiting. Hearing Gu Qiaoqiao’s assurances, Gu Qianqian was so happy she cried. Normally, she may not feel it, and sometimes she even thought her father was too strict, but today she realized that her father was the pillar of the home. Without her father, the sky would fall… Gu Qianqian thought to herself that when her father was discharged and returned home, she must become the most obedient child. She must not make her father worry about her anymore. Gu Qiaoqiao then spoke for a while with Lian Yuhong, telling her to stay put at home. It was enough to have her in the city. Lian Yuhong, still concerned, gave several reminders. She also said it was fortunate that Qiaoqiao was home. Gu Qiaoqiao hung up the phone, she was in the director’s office, brought there by Luo Fan to make the call. A trace of a bitter smile appeared on the corners of Gu Qiaoqiao’s mouth. Was she lucky to be home? And was she the one who had brought this disaster upon them? Gu Qiaoqiao walked out of the office, somewhat distracted. Seeing her expression, Luo Fan said to Gu Qiaoqiao, “I’ve booked a hotel nearby, you and Captain Zhou should go quickly to take a shower and change your clothes. I’ve got everything ready for you.” It was then that Gu Qiaoqiao came back to her senses, hurriedly following Luo Fan downstairs, and spoke softly, “Thank you, Brother Luo Fan.” Luo Fan frowned, “Qiaoqiao, I really hope you won’t be so formal with me, really.” Gu Qiaoqiao forced a smile, “Then I’ll take you for granted, after all, you’re not my brother for nothing, right?” Sёarᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Luo Fan chuckled, “That’s more like it.” The hotel was right across the hospital, the facilities were very good, and Gu Qiaoqiao enjoyed a comfortable hot shower. The room had clothes ready, Luo Fan had specifically told Gu Qiaoqiao that the clothes had been prepared by the hotel’s female manager. Without being fussy, Gu Qiaoqiao quickly changed into the clothing, wrung out her wet clothes, and hung them on the rack in the bathroom before hurrying out of the room. Meanwhile, Zhou Xing, Luo Fan, and a young police officer named Tian Hai were sitting in the dining room, waiting for their meal to arrive. After sitting down, Gu Qiaoqiao expressed her earnest gratitude to Zhou Xing and Tian Hai. If it weren’t for these people, she might not have been able to successfully rescue her father. Her gratitude was sincere. It was then that Zhou Xing and Tian Hai felt truly revived. Having taken hot showers and changed into warm new clothes felt incredibly soothing. Moreover, the waiter soon brought four bowls of ginger soup. They all drank it down. Then, steaming bowls of soup noodles were served, complete with poached eggs, slices of beef, and topped with minced cilantro and green onions—it was nothing short of a lifesaving elixir for those who had crawled out of the cold river and hadn’t eaten dinner. Afterward, several dishes of spicy stir-fried appetizers were brought out, causing everyone to sweat profusely yet feeling extremely exhilarated. After the meal, Zhou Xing told Gu Qiaoqiao and Luo Fan everything he could about what had happened that day. It turned out that the day had been like an earthquake for the Qingshui County police station. First came the call from the provincial base, then a call from Qin Yize, followed by one from the Luo Family… This array of calls sent the chief sweating profusely. He immediately started investigating what people had been brought in that day and where the detained ones were held. But in the end, they could only find the report call from Sun Chuxia, and they were just about to set out. After all, it had been less than half an hour since the report call came in. Yet those influential callers alleged that the person had already been taken away by Qingshui County police. Fearing oversight, the chief conducted a thorough re-check personally, still found nothing, and then realized something was amiss. Everyone was at their posts except those who had gone to the detention center to change shifts. Thus, without further ado, it was clear that the two who had taken Gu Tianfeng away were imposters! So, the chief personally organized a search party. And Zhou Xing, without the slightest delay, headed straight for Stone Town. The car they were looking for was also located, having exploded in a remote area, and subsequently burnt beyond recognition. But there was no one inside the car. What followed was known to Gu Qiaoqiao. Zhou Xing did not continue speaking. Gu Qiaoqiao furrowed her brows in thought, an odd feeling surfacing, recalling the phrase “The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.” Could it be that Sun Chuxia didn’t know those were fake police officers? “Was the car badly damaged by the explosion?” Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly asked. “Quite badly, and it was the work of an expert,” Zhou Xing said indifferently.
