Chapter 268: Joker

“Joker.”

He suddenly called out a name.

Despite it being a simple word, it sounded incredibly elegant when he said it.

The man who escorted Gu Qingjiu towards He Niancheng bowed respectfully at him.

“Young Master He.”

He Niancheng raised his chin. “During this period, Joker will help you with your father’s matters. He’ll also be in charge of contacting the police station here at Dayi City.”

As Gu Qingjiu listened, she nodded in grat.i.tude at He Niancheng. “Thank you, Chief Instructor.”

She then said to Joker, “Sorry for the trouble.”

Joker nodded slightly out of courtesy. “No problem, Miss Gu. We have to carry out Young Master He’s orders.”

After relaying his instructions, He Niancheng sat upright in the car and said, “I have to return to the military first. Take care of your business. Remember to report to the capital on the 5th of March.”

Even at such a critical period, he still remembered to remind her.

Gu Qingjiu nodded quickly and answered, “Yes, I know. Bye, Chief Instructor.”

She waved goodbye to He Niancheng. Besides Joker, everyone else left in the two SUVs.

As the car drove off, the windows were raised and hid He Niancheng’s icy side profile.

“Miss Gu, I will go carry out Young Master He’s instructions first. You can bring your mother home and wait for my updates. You won’t be able to see your father for now, anyway.”

Gu Qingjiu thought that what he said made sense.

They were only aimlessly waiting here because they didn’t know what else to do.

There was someone helping them out now, and the two of them wouldn’t be able to offer any a.s.sistance anyway.

“Okay, I’ll take my Mom home first. Thank you for your help, Mr. Joker.”

“There’s no need to thank me, Miss Gu. We are Young Master He’s subordinates and are just working according to his orders.”

Joker nodded and got on a smaller sedan car, driving off to work on his tasks.

Gu Qingjiu returned to the police station and informed Qi Yuefeng about how Hu Yan had been caught.

“Mom, let’s not wait here anymore. There’s nothing we can do here anyway. Let’s go back home first. Since they already caught the man, the Chief Instructor already sent his subordinates to help us. Dad will be released very soon.”

Qi Yuefeng raised her head to look at her, a surprised look appearing on her face. “Really?”

“Yes.”

Thinking that her husband would be released very soon, Qi Yuefeng finally felt better.

“Then… Then let’s go home and wait for your father. Let’s prepare some yummy food for him. He’s been locked in the detention cell for an entire night. You know how fussy he is. Moreover, it’s so cold today. I hope he doesn’t suffer tonight…”

Qi Yuefeng followed Gu Qingjiu and left the police station. Along the way, she muttered continuously.

She missed Gu Hong and the more she spoke, the sadder she felt.

Gu Qingjiu silently patted Qi Yuefeng’s shoulder.

“Mom, nothing will happen to him.”

As they spoke, unknowingly, the two of them finally arrived home.

Even from a distance, Gu Qingjiu saw that many people had gathered in Chen Yanhong’s mart.

There was a crowd around and everyone was in a heated discussion. Chen Yanhong’s loud voice could be heard from more than ten meters away.

Anyone could easily tell what she was publicizing.

Gu Qingjiu couldn’t be bothered at all. Wrapping her arms around Qi Yuefeng, who didn’t seem to notice the crowd, she walked over to them.

As the two of them approached, some of the people among the crowd noticed Gu Qingjiu.

They immediately looked at each other.

The crowd instantly fell silent.

Qi Yuefeng stopped in front of them. Looking at the odd expressions on their faces, she could guess why they were all gathered here.
