“I will leave first.”

After passing the luggage to Gu Qingjiu, He Niancheng didn’t want to stay any longer. He planned on leaving after saying that.

“Ah, this comrade, would you like to stay for a cup of tea?”

From the looks of it, this Chief Instructor brought Gu Qingjiu back.

Although such a big incident happened at home, when it was time for her to express her gratitude, she was still calm about it.

“Auntie, you’re too kind. I will be taking my leave first.”

His words were polite, but it had an undeniable distant feeling to it.

He turned around and left.

Gu Qingjiu watched his leaving silhouette in a bit of trance.

She eventually closed the door when she could no longer see him.

Gu Qingjiu pushed her luggage into her bedroom. As Qi Yuefeng looked at Gu Qingjiu dragging her luggage, she wanted to probe further but was instantly reminded that Qingjiu was going to a military academy.

She frowned. “I almost forgot. This time you’re back because you’re going to go to the military academy.”

But then an incident happened.

“I have a few days’ time. It should be enough to sort this out, no worries.”

Gu Qingjiu pushed her luggage into the room and quickly changed into casual clothing. Holding her cell phone, she was preparing to leave home.

When she saw that, Qi Yuefeng stopped her.

“I think it’s better if you don’t go since it’s already late. Your father is probably locked in a holding cell. Even if you went, you wouldn’t be able to see him. You just came back, so rest well. I will visit him tomorrow morning.”

That sounded reasonable, but Gu Qingjiu was anxious and she disagreed with the last part of the statement. “Mom, no. I have to be the one going. I will go tomorrow morning. As a soldier, I might understand Dad’s situation better than you. The person who I mentioned who was going to help me is my Chief Instructor. With him, we can rest assured.”

Qi Yuefeng was befuddled when she heard that. “Why is he helping you?”

“…”

Gu Qingjiu paused as well. She didn’t understand it, too.

She suddenly recalled what the Chief Instructor said to her downstairs. Her heart loudly thumped.

She lowered her voice as she said, “Mom, I have some ties with the Chief Instructor, I guess. I’m his soldier so he might be helping me because it’s convenient for him.”

Even she herself didn’t really believe her own words.

The Chief Instructor’s personality was too cold.

She had yet to figure out the reason why he was helping her.

Qi Yuefeng didn’t know He Niancheng well but from what happened earlier, he appeared distant yet respectful.

And that allowed her to trust Gu Qingjiu’s words.

Since she wouldn’t be able to see Gu Hong that evening, they shouldn’t allow the mess to affect their family even if they were in a state of panic.

Qi Yuefeng told Gu Qingjiu to not tell Gu Qingmo about this incident.

But Gu Qingjiu felt that it was too big of an incident.

Hiding it from Gu Qingmo didn’t mean that it was good for him.

If it was during normal situations, Gu Qingjiu would have chosen to tell Gu Qingmo.

But Gu Qingmo was about to graduate, and he was interning at a company. A few days back, he called back home to let them know that he was always busy, and he was more irritable than usual.

If he received a call from them about their situation, it might just give Gu Qingmo more stress.

It was a crucial time since his graduation was right around the corner. After contemplating, Gu Qingjiu decided to keep it from him for the meantime.

If they could settle it quickly, their father would be out soon. If they couldn’t, then that would be the time to tell her older brother.

Qi Yuefeng and Gu Qingjiu went to rest. Because of this incident, Gu Qingjiu decided to sleep next to Qi Yuefeng.

But with such a huge incident, they couldn’t fall asleep at all.

Once the sky became dimly lit, Qi Yuefeng crawled out from the bed.
