Chapter 121: Chapter 121: The Importance of Connections Gu Qiaoqiao wondered, was the matter really resolved just like that? What about the suffering her father endured, the harm the members of the Gu Family suffered! However, having Sun Chuxia apologize at the school-wide assembly was indeed the first thing that needed to be done. And Gu Tianfeng was also eager to completely clear his own name. For his whole life, what he valued most was his reputation. Everything he had suffered was the greatest shame of his life. Thus, a school-wide assembly was called at Stone Town Middle School. On the stage, Sun Chuxia, escorted by two police officers from the county town, earnestly explained the course of events and also apologized to Gu Tianfeng. S~eaʀᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. From then on, no one dared to harbor the slightest doubt about Gu Tianfeng. Because the young lady from the Imperial Capital, under police custody, bowed deeply to Gu Tianfeng. Gu Qiaoqiao, watching Sun Chuxia in the crowd, wasn’t surprised at all. As the illegitimate daughter in this still rather conservative era, Sun Chuxia was someone who could bend or stand tall. Brought up amidst insults of being a ‘bastard child’, the depth of her reserve was naturally extraordinary. Her ability to endure must have also been very strong. With the guidance of a wise person, her actions would naturally appear very graceful. Moreover, since it wasn’t a very serious offense to begin with, so Sun Chuxia’s actions were also to save herself. This excellent attitude in confessing her guilt was bound to be noted. Afterwards, Sun Chuxia was taken away again. It was Captain Zhou who personally came for her. And then somehow, everyone came to know that Captain Zhou of the county police station’s criminal investigation brigade was good friends with Gu Qiaoqiao’s husband. At all times, people assess others based on their identity, place of origin, and economic power, always adding to their estimation. So everyone believed that Gu Tianfeng could be quickly redeemed because he had connections. Moreover, before the trouble arose, people did not notice the good marriage into the family, but once the trouble started, it became apparent immediately. A good marriage is indeed useful! Furthermore, if even the female teacher from the Imperial Capital humbly admitted her guilt, how could anyone still think the Gu Family was just an ordinary household? Add to that the fact that, the next day, the county police station and the Stone Town police station cooperated in a sweep, and after the sweep, a community security group was established there. Therefore, the public order in Stone Town was better than ever before. Gu Qiaoqiao was happy to see this. She accompanied her father to the county post office to send off the manuscript, and then, Gu Tianfeng went back to work as usual. And to Gu Qiaoqiao’s delight, she discovered that the amulet could restore its originally enchanced state by itself. At first, Gu Qiaoqiao was actually quite worried whether her carvings were too against the natural order. Would they bring about any disaster? But later she realized: an amulet is essentially the concentration of a person’s mind power, just like the saying goes, “Sincerity makes the spiritual.” Smart people see wisdom, kind people see kindness. However, Gu Qiaoqiao still changed her approach. It might sound a bit fantastical, but she decided that in the future, her carvings must actively find their rightful owners. This was very simple and easy to achieve, just follow the heart. Just as she had sold the Heavenly Eighteen Arhats to Elder Shen by following her instincts. Hence, it would only bring blessings to herself and would not have any negative impacts. Furthermore, Gu Qiaoqiao thought, by doing so, her items would in effect become treasures. Qiaoqiao, through this incident, once again experienced the wonders of her own fingers, and also the importance of social connections. If it hadn’t been for Qin Yize and Luo Fan’s intervention, and Zhou Xing’s running around, Qiaoqiao, no matter how capable, would have ended up in a difficult situation all by herself. Therefore, Qiaoqiao no longer refused the olive branch that Luo Fan offered. Qiaoqiao knew that her personality used to be a bit like her father’s, Gu Tianfeng, sometimes a bit too aloof. If you want others to fear you, how can you do so without strong capabilities? Hence, she invited Zhou Xing and Tian Hai to her home for a meal, which they were only too happy to accept, having already wanted to continue their relationship with the Gu Family. Afterwards, Qiaoqiao gave each of them an amulet, including Luo Fan, and Luo Fan was the happiest of all. Because only he knew the great value of Qiaoqiao’s amulets. Of course, he didn’t know about the nurturing of spiritual energy. And because of the Gu Family, because of Qiaoqiao, Zhou Xing became friends with Luo Fan, so, bluntly speaking, this chain of benefits was an absolute windfall for Zhou Xing. He naturally attributed all the credit to the Gu Family. And that case, he had been following up on it. Unfortunately, there was no progress for the time being. The blown-up vehicle had been traced to its origin, a jeep lost from a township enterprise ten miles from the city area. It was one that had been decommissioned by a Special Preparation Team. And it had been stolen a few days before. So, at this point, the lead broke off again. Even though Gu Tianfeng, having seen the two fake police officers, described their appearance and accents, it was still like a stone sinking into the sea. But Qiaoqiao knew that after this incident, the other side would probably lay low for a while. And she, when things had almost settled down, took out the half-carved Wolf’s Fang that was nearly forgotten, ready to continue carving it, only to be shocked to find that the Divine Eagle’s eyes she had carved into the Wolf’s Fang had turned red. At that moment, Qiaoqiao was so frightened that she dropped the Wolf’s Fang onto the table with a clang. Because this was the first time such a bizarre incident had occurred. By this time, it was already mid-May, and the sunlight shone unguarded through the window glass. Shining on the eyes of the Divine Eagle, the red color looked eerie on one hand, and on the other, it appeared as clear and sparkling as a ruby. Qiaoqiao calmed down and suddenly remembered what had happened. It was the day her father had an accident, under Aunt Wang’s loud voice, her hand trembled, the carving knife cut her finger, and that drop of blood fell on the Wolf’s Fang, causing this. Afterwards, one thing followed another, and she forgot about the Wolf’s Fang in a drawer. She hadn’t expected that drop of blood to coincidentally fall on just the eyes of the Divine Eagle. Qiaoqiao picked up the Wolf’s Fang, looked at it from all sides, then stood up and went to the kitchen. She took a basin, filled it with some water, and prepared to wash off what seemed to be the solidified drop of blood. But, no matter how Qiaoqiao scraped with her fingertip, she couldn’t remove the red color. She then looked at it more seriously. And then she discovered that it couldn’t be washed off at all. Because that drop of fresh blood had seeped deeply into the Wolf’s Fang. And as for why it had so coincidentally tinged the Divine Eagle’s eyeball red, without a single excess smear of color, Qiaoqiao didn’t care to find out anymore. At this moment, Qiaoqiao was hesitating whether to give this Wolf’s Fang to Qin Yize or to carve a new one for him?
