Chapter 125: Chapter 125: The Woman Who Plucked the Flower from the High Ridge Luo Fan didn’t think twice before agreeing immediately to first create a smaller version for Gu Qiaoqiao. Then he would mail it to the place where Gu Qiaoqiao was headed. Knowing the address well, Gu Qiaoqiao left it with Luo Fan, and as she hung up the phone, she felt a great sense of relief. She made a call to Qin Yize, but the person who answered was not Qin Yize but the operator from the Border City Base. She identified herself and then stated her arrival time. The operator solemnly promised to convey the message to Doctor Qin. Soon, it quietly spread throughout the experimental base that Doctor Qin’s wife was about to arrive. Regarding this legendary woman who had managed to pluck such a lofty flower as Doctor Qin, everyone maintained a high level of attention and enthusiasm. ... They all speculated: Could this woman be stunningly beautiful, exceptionally intelligent, or a talented lady proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting? Otherwise, how could Doctor Qin, cold as snow and distant as if on the other side of the clouds, have married so soon? At that moment, in the medical room of the experimental base, a pretty girl in a white lab coat accidentally dropped a bottle of glucose, shattering it onto the cement floor. She was Choo Lan. The granddaughter of a prominent family’s patriarch and the only daughter of Chairman Choo. The nurse beside her, Zhu Xiaohong, was startled and hurriedly helped the recovered Choo Lan clean up the broken glass. Choo Lan quickly apologized, her face reddening slightly. But her heart was not at peace. She had been Qin Yize’s college classmate, and though they weren’t in the same class, they were of the same year. Half a year ago, she had arrived at the Border City Base and become a doctor in the base’s medical room. Her grandfather was quite pleased, believing his granddaughter was resilient enough to tough it out in Border City. Her father, though he didn’t understand, didn’t object and only told her that once she’d had enough, she should come home to learn how to manage the Choo family’s affairs.

She had traveled thousands of miles, foregoing the comfortable conditions offered by her family, to be in this harsh frontier, all for one person. And that person didn’t even know she had come for him. Everyone said he was married, but for some reason, Choo Lan chose to ignore this piece of news. In her heart, Qin Yize was still that man as cold as snow, seated on a cloud, unreachable. But then, Zhu Xiaohong told her that Doctor Qin’s wife would be coming to live at the experimental base in three days. His wife, his spouse, his lover? So she was real after all! And that shattered her self-deceptive dream. What about love that develops over time, progressively? Qin Yize’s wife was about to arrive. She was a living, breathing person. Distracted, Choo Lan smiled at Zhu Xiaohong and left the medical room. Zhu Xiaohong’s eyes flickered briefly, her thoughts clear to anyone who knew her well; she always boasted about her resilience, but wasn’t it all for a man? If Qin Yize wasn’t here, why would Choo Lan come at all? But that was good for her; if Choo Lan hadn’t come, how would she have had the chance to meet the granddaughter of the Choo family patriarch? She smiled, thinking perhaps in the future, she might have even more opportunities to gain favor with her. Meanwhile, Choo Lan walked slowly along the path in the large courtyard of the experimental base, gradually calming her heart as she looked up at the distant sky, her heart inexplicably filled with anticipation for the arrival of that woman. Even that anticipation was incredibly intense. So intense, it bordered on obsession. Indeed, no one in the entire base was as passionate as Choo Lan. She wanted to see for herself if this woman truly was breathtakingly beautiful beyond comparison! … At that very moment in the Imperial Capital, Ning Wanru was looking at the person before her, Gu Cheng. Gu Cheng was repeating a statement to her, “You better tell the person behind you, if they dare to touch my family again, I will stop at nothing to kill them one by one. If you don’t believe me, let’s just try it!” After listening to Gu Cheng’s relayed words, her eyebrows slightly knitted together, but after a few moments, they smoothed out again, a sinister gleam crossing her eyes. Only after a long while, she spoke softly, “Did she really say that?” “Yes, she really did,” Gu Cheng nodded, confusion in his gaze, “Mother, do you think Qiaoqiao is just guessing, or does she really know something…” “What does she know?” Ning Wanru casually sipped her Biluochun tea and asked back. Indeed, how could Qiaoqiao possibly know who the person behind the scenes was? More importantly, how could she possibly know that there was someone behind Sun Chuxia? It must have been Qin Yize who helped her analyze it. “So what do we do now?” Gu Cheng asked, frowning. “Stay put. Send those two to the Northwest, tell the eldest brother to not do anything, and we’ll see about the rest later,” Ning Wanru instructed calmly. “Are we just going to let them go like this?” “What else then?” Ning Wanru casually glanced at her son. “But, son is just worried that the longer we wait, the more things could go wrong,” “Didn’t the eldest brother say that the city and county police have cast a wide net, just waiting for the suspects to fall into the trap?” “Then let’s wait for things to calm down a bit,” Gu Cheng said regretfully, “It’s just a pity that Gu Tianfeng’s life is so great, he didn’t die even after being drowned in the river for half an hour.” Ning Wanru’s eyes darkened. This also perplexed her. Such cold water, the person was knocked unconscious, and then thrown into the river; normally, they would die within minutes. Everyone said that Gu Tianfeng had a big fate, but Ning Wanru didn’t think so. Because only she knew the Gu Family’s secret. It was also a legend that had been passed down for hundreds of years. Could it be that the Mysterious Dragon Box was really in Gu Tianfeng’s hands, and that it had been opened? Could it be possible? If he really opened it, how could he be content staying in the countryside for over twenty years? Or perhaps, there was nothing in the box? Ning Wanru immediately dismissed her own thought. Her grandfather was certain of the shocking secret there. He also said that the person who could open the box would possess something unimaginable to the world. But it’s been hundreds of years, and no one has been able to open it, naturally, no one knew what was inside. Later, it disappeared along with Gu Kun’s disappearance. This was something Gu Qingfeng found out later, Unfortunately, it has not been found to this day. “Cheng’er, do you think that Mysterious Dragon Box might really have been taken by Gu Kun?” Ning Wanru speculated. “That’s hard to say.” Gu Cheng looked at Ning Wanru, pondering, “Even if it was taken, it wouldn’t matter, right? It’s been hundreds of years and no one has opened it.” “But is Gu Tianfeng’s life really that great?” Ning Wanru seemed skeptical, “And what about Qiaoqiao, how did she find her father so quickly?” Yes, that matter seemed quite mysterious, almost mystical when spoken of. “Then just capture both of them, and we will know everything,” Gu Cheng said with fierce determination.
