Speaking to this point, there was silence on the other end.
Apparently drinking water...
The Qin Family’s living room was completely silent, it seed as if even breathing could be heard. After a mont, Shen Manru’s trembling voice asked, "Xiao...Xiao Yu...are you...are you not scared?"
How co she felt that her daughter’s voice carried an excitent and joy, making Shen Manru unsure of what to do.
"Mom, I told you earlier, at first I was really scared, trembling all over. Then, there was the peace Buddha pendant my sister-in-law gave on my chest, it was like a piece of ice, suddenly making sober up. Later, it turned into a furnace, warming my whole body, and the very difficult-to-untie rope knot, I managed to undo it in a few tries. At that ti I was really not afraid, just a little scared now in retrospect, but there’s really no problem, so don’t worry about it. Oh, and my brother and sister-in-law know about it too, they must be worried sick, tell them Zishu and I are both fine, nothing happened."
Xiao Yu soothed the family with her sensibility.
"Xiao Yu, tell Grandma, are you really okay?" Grandma Qin also asked shakily, while Qin Xuan beside her furrowed his brows, not knowing how to express his emotions.
"Grandma, really, nothing’s wrong, can’t you tell from my voice? If I were really scared, I’d definitely be crying my eyes out by now, there’s no way I could be telling you like it’s a story. Right, this could really be a story, I’ll write it in my diary when I get back, and I can offer it to Uncle Gu to write a novel, then turn it into a movie, it’ll definitely be great..."
It was obvious that Qin Xiaoyu’s voice indeed carried a lightness.
The three people in the room looked at each other, saying nothing, when Qin Xiaoyu’s voice rang out again in the living room, "You must be wondering how the car suddenly got surrounded by such a big fire trapping those bad guys, but that’s not sothing convenient to talk about over the phone, I’ll tell you three when I get back. Just don’t tell anyone else..."
On the other side, Qin Xiaoyu’s voice sounded a bit mysterious, "Alright, I won’t keep talking to you, Grandma, Dad, Mom, don’t worry, and don’t be scared, you should be proud of , I didn’t beco a puddle of mud in such a situation, so from now on, no matter what happens, I know how to deal with it. Enough from , Auntie has made lean at congee for Zishu and to help calm us down, and she’ll make us sothing delicious tonight. Rest assured, we’ll be back in a few days."
"Oh..."
Shen Manru just gave a stupefied sound, while Qin Xiaoyu neatly hung up the phone, the beep resounding lightly in the living room.
Shen Manru stared at the receiver, her heart pounding erratically, her gaze scattered, sowhat unfocused, her complexion shifting between green and white, her expression very complicated.
Qin Xuan walked over to put the phone back, pacing a few steps in the room, only to suddenly see the two people standing in the hallway, a look of surprise on his face, "Qiaoqiao, Ah Ze."
Since they were discovered, they quickly ca in.
Then Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize walked into the living room, sitting on the sofa opposite them.
At this ti, Shen Manru seed not to have recovered from her daughter’s description, dazedly looking at the two people who entered.
Gu Qiaoqiao lightly cleared her throat, her expression carrying guilt, "Grandma, Mom, Dad, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault for coming back early, I should have stayed with them and co back together..."
Qin Yize sitting next to her shook his head helplessly.
Qin Xuan waved his hand, "Qiaoqiao, this is not your fault, you ca back early because there was sothing at ho. Even if you were in Jinling City, you couldn’t possibly stay with them twenty-four hours a day. I just heard Xiao Yu say those people were prepared, but they are being interrogated, we’ll know what happened soon enough."
"Yeah, Qiaoqiao, sotis I feel like you’re the parent of all of us, always wanting to protect everyone. Qiaoqiao, I know you’re a good kid, but it makes us seniors feel quite incompetent and guilty..."
Grandma Qin half-jokingly blad Gu Qiaoqiao.
Though her tone was like that, Grandma Qin’s smile was warm.
Shen Manru finally ca back to her senses, looking at the two, asking, "You two already knew?"
Qin Yize nodded gently, "Chu Chengfeng contacted right away, and then we knew which direction they were heading in, so we inford the military in Jinling City, and a helicopter was dispatched to intercept them."
The three of them exchanged glances.
Qin Yize paused for a mont, then continued, "I’m very proud, my sister Qin Yize, knew how to rescue herself when danger ca, and how to protect herself, that’s my sister Qin Yize. And I didn’t expect Zishu to be so fearless, stopping the car before they arrived. This kid perford exceptionally well in the army, our old commander was quite fond of him..."
Just then, Shen Manru suddenly stood up, her face still a bit pale, but her body no longer trembling. Her gaze swept across the people in the room, murmuring, "No, I need to go lie down in the room for a bit, I can’t quite process this, it’s like a dream..."
Saying this, she lifted her leg and walked towards her bedroom, but after a few steps, she suddenly turned back to look at Gu Qiaoqiao, "Right, Qiaoqiao, Xiao Yu ntioned that when Zishu smashed the windshield, he got his hand cut by glass shards, it’s not serious. Zishu asked Xiao Yu to keep it secret, not to tell your parents yet. By the ti he gets back, the wound should have healed."
Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, "Alright, I won’t tell them."
And then Shen Manru waved at the people in the living room, sowhat dizzy, she entered her bedroom and closed the door behind her.
Grandma Qin looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, asking worriedly, "Qiaoqiao, do you think your mom and the others were also scared out of their wits..."
"Yes, they were indeed scared, but they are most worried about Xiao Yu..."
"Zishu is also a child, only three days older than Xiao Yu, and so determined. My heart skips a beat just thinking about it..." Grandma Qin patted Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand, praising, "Zishu is a good child, we really should thank him this ti..."
"Grandma, we’re all family, there’s no need to say thank you..." Gu Qiaoqiao softly said.
Grandma Qin laughed, although her face still showed traces of fright, her voice returned to normal, "Alright, we won’t say thank you in a family..."
Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Grandma Qin’s emotional response, she let out a long sigh of relief in her heart, fortunately, both children were safe, and fortunately, Grandma Qin wasn’t scared out of her wits.
Simultaneously, she felt intense hatred towards the person who was behind it.
