Chapter 288: Chapter 288: Brushing Past (2) Chapter 288: Chapter 288: Brushing Past (2) His voice was sowhat stern.
His expression was very serious too.
Gu Qingfeng and Uncle Gu exchanged a glance, unusually refraining from interrupting.
Thinking back, Qiaoqiao’s actions just now had been too dangerous.
If it weren’t for Qin Yize’s quick reflexes, she might have been thrown out of the window as the train turned.
This child was too impulsive.
Qiaoqiao sat obediently on the berth and took the initiative to say, “I was too impulsive just now, I’m sorry, it won’t happen again, and thank you…”
Qin Yize’s eyes flickered slightly, his smile mysterious, “Impressive, you’ve even learned to apologize on your own…”
Qiaoqiao lifted her shimring eyes, looking at Qin Yize with thoughts no one could understand, and whispered softly, “I was just too anxious…”
She was very anxious.
She was worried that Grandma Yu and Aunt Zhao, once they went out, might never be found again.
In this era, without any ans of communication, finding soone was not so easy.
She also worried that if Grandma Yu truly recalled sothing and went to the Imperial Capital with Aunt Zhao, sothing unexpected might happen.
And if that were the case, regardless of whether Grandma Yu was related to her or not, she would regret it for the rest of her life.
Seeing Qiaoqiao’s obedient deanor, Qin Yize’s intention to scold further completely extinguished.
“Don’t worry, I think, at the latest we’ll catch up by seven…”
Qin Yize said with certainty.
Qiaoqiao nodded.
She truly believed Qin Yize’s words.
If he said they would catch up, then they definitely would.
Because Qin Yize never lied.
An hour later, the train stopped at a station ahead.
Uncle Gu and Qiaoqiao helped the Old Patriarch get off the train.
Qin Yize followed behind carrying the luggage and bags.
Qin Yize did not know anyone at the station, but upon showing special identification, he still received preferential treatnt.
The Old Patriarch went to rest in the office.
While Qin Yize went to make a phone call.
Less than half an hour later, two jeeps sped to the scene.
One was handed to Qin Yize, and two security guards drove the other one back.
Qin Yize personally drove the car, without delay, and sped towards the outer mountains.
On the way, everyone was silent.
Because they did not know what to say.
Qin Yize drove both steadily and swiftly, and though Qiaoqiao was extrely anxious, she also knew that Gu Qingfeng behind her was even more anxious and uneasy.
Perhaps in a mont of mutual approach, Gu Qingfeng sensed sothing.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have lost his reason and demanded that the departing train stop.
The journey was silent.
Sotis the mountain road was very close to the railway line, and at other tis, it was very far.
But anyway, it was in the sa direction.
Being one and a half hours behind, the jeep, being faster than the train and the fact that Grandma Yu’s train was a slow one stopping at every station.
So as the sunset was about to fall behind the mountains, they finally caught up.
Gu Qingfeng and Uncle Gu stood in front of the platform with solemn, tense, and uneasy expressions.
This was a small station.
It lay amidst the vast sea of trees.
Perhaps it was divine grace.
Because they had to wait for a train carrying supplies to pass, they actually stopped here for half an hour.
The train’s horn also began to announce the search for people.
And Qiaoqiao, rembering the approximate car, followed Qin Yize quickly towards the front of the carriages.
The train was not very crowded.
Everyone curiously watched the hastily moving man and woman.
Qiaoqiao was anxious too, Uncle Gu could drive, and it was prearranged that if the train started, they would continue along that mountain road forward.
