However, this is just wishful thinking, not very realistic.
It’s not that there’s a lack of financial resources or capability, but rather Lifeng Security and Yubao Square are in the east and west of the city, respectively, too far apart.
Commuting to work from either side is an issue.
If you take care of one, you can’t manage the other, so there’s no need to live together.
Gu Qiaoqiao temporarily dismissed this idea, but she also knew that if she had the ti and experience, investing in so real estate would be a good plan.
"I kind of overlooked this," Gu Qiaoqiao said, sowhat embarrassed.
"No worries, in a few years, I’ll buy a big house," Boss Xu said boldly.
"Big Brother Xu, your wish will definitely co true, but your motorcycle is a bit old. You might want to get a new one first."
"I won’t replace it for now. I have sentintal feelings towards this bike. Back in the day, it made quite a splash," Boss Xu said with a smile.
"Big Brother Xu, how about this? Send your motorcycle and that young man’s bike for repairs together. It would be safer that way, right?"
"Alright, I’ll listen to you."
"Big Brother Xu, be careful on your way back. I’ll be in Jinling City for the next few days. If anything cos up, we can contact by phone."
"Sure, I’ll get going," Boss Xu nodded and said.
Gu Qiaoqiao waved at Boss Xu, who sped away on his motorcycle that rumbled like a tractor.
Despite the noise, it was quite fast.
Gu Qiaoqiao glanced once more at the nearby teahouse, her eyes flickered briefly, a dark light passed through them, and she smiled as she got into the car with Brother Li San, speeding towards the Gu Family courtyard.
Upon arriving at the Gu Family, Gu Qiaoqiao imdiately found Chu Chengfeng, "Chengfeng, can you get in touch with your friend now?"
"Do you an Captain Choo?"
"Yes, that’s him."
"I can contact him. I have his office and ho phone numbers."
"Good, I need to tell you sothing, and you need to pass it on to Captain Choo. Let him know that you received an anonymous tip-off that under the flower stand in the backyard of the Propitious Teahouse, run by One-Eyed Dragon’s father, a body is buried. The specific location is right beneath where the round table is..."
Chu Chengfeng was shocked to hear Gu Qiaoqiao’s words and quickly asked, "Sister-in-law, how did you find out about this? Who told you? Didn’t you just return from there?"
Xiao Wen pulled on Chu Chengfeng’s arm, "Just say what you’re told to. Gu Qiaoqiao said it was an anonymous tip-off, so naturally, it’s inconvenient to reveal who it was."
Chu Chengfeng remained silent, quickly processing the situation.
"Chengfeng, do you think your friend will believe you if you tell him this?" asked Gu Qiaoqiao worriedly.
Chu Chengfeng finally responded, and after thinking for a mont, he asked Gu Qiaoqiao, "Sister-in-law, how sure are you?"
Gu Qiaoqiao replied confidently, "One hundred percent sure. Don’t worry, as long as you go, you won’t have a wasted trip."
Chu Chengfeng gritted his teeth, "Alright, I’ll make the call now."
He then quickly walked to the phone, dialed a few numbers, and surprisingly, it was Captain Choo himself who answered the call.
Chu Chengfeng repeated everything Gu Qiaoqiao had said and then added seriously, "Da Jiang, I can stake my life on the authenticity of this information."
It seed silent on the other end of the line for a mont, then Chu Chengfeng nodded after a pause, "Okay, if there are any follow-up actions needed, I will definitely cooperate."
Having said that, Chu Chengfeng hung up the phone.
"Sister-in-law, Captain Choo agreed. He’s imdiately applying to search the Qian Family’s teahouse," Chu Chengfeng said with a hint of excitent.
Gu Qiaoqiao felt slightly relieved.
Exchanging a glance with Xiao Wen, Xiao Wen nodded at her. Gu Qiaoqiao said, "Chu Chengfeng, rest assured, this information is guaranteed to be accurate, and there will definitely be findings."
"Sister-in-law, did you find out anything from One-Eyed Dragon’s father?" Chu Chengfeng refrained from asking further about who provided the tip, as it was confidential, but he was curious about Gu Qiaoqiao’s visit to the teahouse.
Gu Qiaoqiao shook her head, "Nothing much, Boss Qian seems to have no feelings for his son at all."
"Is there such a person?" Chu Chengfeng asked in surprise. "If he knows his son isn’t a good person, why doesn’t he report him? It would be a good deed, sacrificing personal interests for justice, and he’d gain a good reputation..."
Xiao Wen rolled her eyes at him, "That’s wishful thinking. Even a tiger doesn’t eat its own cubs. No matter how much soone dislikes their son, they wouldn’t willingly send him to prison, since he’s still the father of their grandson. Historically, how many have truly been able to sacrifice personal interests for justice?"
Chu Chengfeng chuckled, revealing a set of white teeth, "Xiao Wen is absolutely right!"
Gu Qiaoqiao covered her mouth, and Xiao Wen asked puzzled, "What’s wrong?"
"There’s a sour sll in the air," Gu Qiaoqiao teased.
"You cheeky girl," Xiao Wen giggled.
Understanding Gu Qiaoqiao’s implication, Chu Chengfeng quickly said, "You two should rest early. There’s plenty to do tomorrow."
Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Chu Chengfeng, refraining from teasing him this ti, and advised, "You should rest early as well."
Chu Chengfeng glanced at Xiao Wen, who smiled warmly at him. With a light step, he walked out.
The night grew deeper, and a new moon once again hung at the tip of the tree branch, the sky sowhat misty, making the crescent moon seem a bit unreal.
The city night finally grew gradually quiet.
The sound of insects chirping ca from the corner of the courtyard.
Gu Qiaoqiao lay on the bed, though she wanted to use the Invisibility Talisman to have a look at Boss Qian’s teahouse, it was too late. Tomorrow, she had plans to visit Fang Qing’s unit to offer gratitude to the soldiers who carried out the mission that day, as well as the officers from the city’s public security bureau who responded. All to express so thanks.
Even though it’s sothing they should do, as a military family mber, Gu Qiaoqiao understands the selfless dedication of the military and public security personnel.
For Gu Qiaoqiao now, money isn’t an issue. Moreover, Gu Lei had already purchased everything, practical items for the troops such as chicken, duck, fish, vegetables, fruits, and so tasty snacks.
The public security departnt didn’t get chicken, duck, etc., but lots of supplents and fruits, as well as Jinling City’s best roast duck and other ready-to-eat foods were bought—not much but enough, considering it’s the hot sumr season.
So, tomorrow she’ll visit the public security bureau first and then the military unit, which will occupy the whole day.
There likely won’t be ti for anything else.
The helicopter blocking the way belongs to a certain aviation unit connected solely with Qin Yize, so she didn’t include those personnel.
That’s because it’s a covert ground crew unit known only to insiders, unknown even to Fang Qing.
Thus, finding soone to thank was impossible.
She entrusted this task to Qin Yize.
As for what’s beneath the flower stand, it should be revealed the following day.
