Gu Qingjiu swallowed the urge in her heart and followed him up the car.

The car quietly drove away from the camp.

Gu Qingjiu turned to look back at the camp which she had stayed in for a while. From where she was, it got smaller and smaller. She sat back and softly asked, Chief Instructor, are you not busy?

Yes. He Nianchengs reply was as straightforward as expected. Not busy.

If he was busy, he wouldnt be able to send Gu Qingjiu off.

She was feeling sweet inside but Gu Qingjiu didnt know how to say some things.

This parting might mean that she would never see He Niancheng again.

Even if she had a way to contact He Niancheng, she wasnt He Nianchengs soldier anymore. So what rights did she have to contact He Niancheng again?

Perhaps because of these overwhelming thoughts, Gu Qingjiu couldnt help but ramble. Chief Instructor, Im going to the military academy so I wont be there to replace Commander Huo to buy those things for you. Sometimes, it might be better for you to learn how to buy those things.

He Niancheng was speechless.

He turned his head and offered Gu Qingjiu a strange gaze.

Gu Qingjiu paused. If it really cant be helped, you can trouble Doctor Nan.

Doctor Nan was a great person, there was no better choice.

You dont have to worry about these things.

Even though his words were plain, she could feel his usual coldness leaking through.

That tone went straight into Gu Qingjius heart.

Like a prick, not enough to cause intense pain, but it was enough to make one feel uncomfortable.

She lowered her head and retracted her gaze, knowing that she was the one who was overthinking.

The journey was three hours. In the end, Gu Qingjiu finally couldnt take it and fell asleep.

Something happened to your house.

In a groggy state of mind, that statement startled Gu Qingjiu awake.

She looked up in distraught.

It was already dark outside.

The car was about to reach her house but from afar, Gu Qingjiu could see a row of flashing lights from police cars.

In the deep of the night, it was eye-catching.

There were a few policemen guarding outside Chen Yanhongs mart and Chen Yanhong was there, exaggeratedly talking about something.

Gu Qingjiu narrowed her eyes.

She couldnt confirm that it was tied to her family but with the police cars parked outside, it gave her a sense of uneasiness.

And the Chief Instructor just said that her family was met with a mishap.

But how was he so sure that it was her family?

Before she could ask, the anxious Gu Qingjiu rushed off the car the moment He Niancheng parked.

She was so anxious that she didnt close the car door.

When she ran to Chen Yanhongs mart, she saw a few policemen clearing out a crowd and making a pathway. Gu Qingjiu then saw two policemen walking on the path, and they were holding down her father, who, by then, had a miserable expression on his face.

His hands were cuffed too

Walking down the center with a sort of desolation.

Gu Qingjius face instantly paled.

Only

Dad, whats happening?

Gu Qingjiu wanted to rush over, but a few policemen had blocked her.

What are you doing? Young lady, who are you? This is a crime scene. Youre not allowed to enter!

The policemen who pulled her back barked out a warning using a low tone of voice.

Chen Yanhong looked at her with wide eyes, and she pointed at her. Aiya, dear policemen, its her. Shes the daughter of the suspect!

Gu Hong saw Gu Qingjiu as well and his face showed his shame. Qingjiu, you why are you back?

Gu Qingjius eyes reddened.
