The Luh Kai’s wedding banquet was held tastefully and beautifully. Coupled with the quality of the food and service, it received quite a good reputation and soon got two or three small banquet orders, including birthday and full moon banquets. The sales of mooncakes were also on the rise, making Cheng Su smile so widely her eyes almost disappeared.
Because nothing brings greater joy than seeing your efforts rewarded, right?
But there was one effort that had yet to see any return. That was in August, Cheng Su’s period ca right on ti again, indicating the baby hadn’t taken root.
Cheng Su was very unhappy, a bit anxious and worried. Her face didn’t look good for those couple of days, even Xiao Yun noticed her displeasure and carefully tried to please her and took the initiative to help with the work.
Seeing Xiao Yun like this, and Qi Taiguo as well, Cheng Su gradually relaxed, followed Qi Taiguo’s advice, started taking pills again, and went to the hospital for a check-up to make sure everything was fine.
But even so, she didn’t dare to be careless, especially since it was gradually turning to autumn. She avoided cold foods entirely, even drank only warm water, and didn’t drink anything cold.
As the day to visit ho neared, and considering the younger brother-in-law had gotten into college, she thought it was not too much as a sister-in-law to buy him a decent set of new clothes to congratulate him on starting school. So she privately called ho to ask about the younger brother-in-law’s height and shoe size, and took Xiao Yun to buy him a complete outfit.
Back ho, she couldn’t help but show off to Qi Taiguo, but Qi Taiguo seed a bit absent-minded.
"...Hey, I’m asking you, why aren’t you responding? What’s on your mind?" Cheng Su said.
Qi Taiguo mumbled, "It’s nothing, I’ve just been training hard these days, a bit tired."
"Since autumn has co, the ’autumn tiger’ is strong. Let make you so pear and lily water to moisten your lungs," Cheng Su said. "Ti flies, but what about Ning Ge? How co there’s been no news from him for so long? What’s he up to?"
This was what’s bothering Qi Taiguo. Previously, when Ning Ge went to investigate the Loo Family’s matters, he would occasionally call to exchange information, but recently, it had been almost ten days without hearing from him!
What has happened?
Qi Taiguo felt uneasy.
He didn’t dare let Cheng Su find out and only said, "He said there’s sothing to investigate on the Loo Family side, so he’s quite busy."
Cheng Su paused while tidying up the clothes, frowned, and said, "Loo Family? I hope no problems arise. Is it possible that Chiang Qing was rescued again?"
"That’s not the case!" Qi Taiguo shook his head. He hadn’t heard of it, and it shouldn’t be that easy.
Cheng Su was about to say sothing when the phone rang. Just as she was about to answer, Qi Taiguo said, "I’ll get it."
When he answered the phone, Cheng Yaozu’s voice ca through: "Ning Ge is missing!"
Qi Taiguo’s heart trembled, he glanced at Cheng Su and said, "I know. I’ll look into it and call you back from the office."
Saying that, he hung up the phone.
"Who was it?" Cheng Su asked casually.
Qi Taiguo stood up and said, "No one, it was the company commander. He’s on leave these days and asked about the new recruits. I’m going to the office to check the reports and then call him back."
Cheng Su didn’t doubt him and simply responded with "Oh."
Qi Taiguo left in a hurry, his mind filled with doubt and surprise. Missing, soone as capable as Ning Ge, missing?
What exactly did he uncover in this investigation, and what has he experienced?
