Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 1462: Targeting His Wife

When she came down from upstairs, Qiaoqiao sensed something was off. The way those people looked at her wasn’t like how one typically looks at a stranger for the first time; it was a gaze filled with intention and scrutiny.

Looking at her like that proved one thing: they already knew that Gu Qiaoqiao was upstairs.

Qiaoqiao’s pace only faltered momentarily, and then she continued to walk forward with Qin Yize.

Internally, she was curious about how these people would manage to abduct her to Xiang Island?

Moreover, it seemed this wasn’t their first time doing such a thing.

Qiaoqiao frowned slightly, almost imperceptibly. She couldn’t stand by and do nothing. Since these people came looking for trouble, she might as well uproot this tumor.

Qin Yize glanced at the distracted Qiaoqiao beside him, "Qiaoqiao, do you think there’s something off about those people?"

Qiaoqiao looked up and couldn’t help but smile, "How did you guess so accurately?"

Without waiting for Qin Yize to respond, she curiously asked, "Ah Ze, tell me, how did you figure it out?"

The two of them walked unhurriedly on a cobblestone path covered with moss, leading to an old stone arch bridge that seemed quite ancient.

Qin Yize didn’t answer immediately but led Qiaoqiao onto the stone bridge. He stood by the railing, then turned to look at the old hotel, which from the bridge offered a somewhat southern charm.

Qiaoqiao also stopped, following Qin Yize’s gaze.

Though the walls of the hotel were old and the interior was not well maintained, the walls were covered with blooms of pink and purple flowers.

These flowers were called Yezi flowers, and many also referred to them as Spring Red.

Like plum blossoms, they bloomed in winter.

There were some in the flower garden at Gu Garden, but they were planted in pots, whereas here they bloomed everywhere, lavishly and abundantly, bringing a touch of spring vitality to the gloomy season.

With such beautiful flowers adorning the scene, the dilapidated hotel from which she and Qin Yize had emerged had a certain poetic feel.

But what a pity...

At this moment, Qin Yize spoke softly, "The three people in the hotel were clearly waiting for us to come down. When I came down, their gaze lingered momentarily before shifting to you, indicating they were prepared. I’ve heard about a gang around here responsible for transporting girls wanting to go to Xiang Island, making a profit from it. It’s a sure deal, so there’s a chance they use illegal means to kidnap single girls..."

Qiaoqiao looked at Qin Yize with admiration; his analysis was spot on. She knew the details because she heard those three talking, yet Qin Yize reached the right conclusion without hearing anything. If she didn’t admire him, then whom would she admire?

Qiaoqiao didn’t hold back expressing her thoughts, raising her thumbs, "Ah Ze, you’re really amazing; it’s exactly as you said."

Then, Qiaoqiao shared with Qin Yize what she had heard.

After hearing her, Qin Yize’s expression remained icy, even though it confirmed his suspicions.

The audacity of these people was too much, daring to target his wife as if he were dead.

"They won’t succeed."

"How do you plan to deal with this?" Qiaoqiao asked.

"Wait until we’ve caught Zhao Yuan, then deal with them—just a few small fry," Qin Yize replied casually.

"Ah Ze, don’t rush this. If we want to catch them, we need evidence; otherwise, they’ll continue to roam free." Qiaoqiao advised.

"Yes, I understand. Let’s go have dinner."

Qiaoqiao took Qin Yize’s arm, and the two continued to walk forward, turning down a street, and found an old restaurant.

The restaurant was clean and offered southern-style dishes with good flavor, making both Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize very satisfied with their meal.

When they returned to the hotel front, only one of the three men was left there.

Initially planning to rest in the car, Qiaoqiao changed her mind due to these people. She couldn’t let them know about the military Jeep for now.

The man was eating a boxed meal. Seeing the two carrying travel bags and heading inside, he stared at them until Qin Yize and Qiaoqiao went upstairs, then refocused on his food.

Upon opening their room, Qiaoqiao regretfully glanced at the big bed. If it were clean, she could rest there.

However, Qin Yize quickly opened the travel bag and took out a folded rectangular item. Recognizing it, Qiaoqiao exclaimed, "Ah Ze, are you pitching a tent here?"

Qin Yize nodded, not stopping his hands. Before Qiaoqiao could protest, he unfolded the simple tent—a custom-made, single military tent. Qin Yize swiftly pitched the tent, spread a small blanket from the travel bag inside, and after completing these actions, told Qiaoqiao, "Rest a little; tonight might be a long one."

Qiaoqiao gazed at the small makeshift tent with a smile, inwardly thinking that only Qin Yize would do such a thing.

Setting up a tent indoors.

But since the room was spacious, it looked quite decent.

Qiaoqiao looked at Qin Yize, "And you?"

Qin Yize gestured to the window, "I’ll watch from here..."

"I’ll switch with you later." After saying that, Qiaoqiao took off her coat and shoes and crawled inside.

The space was cramped but notably clean, carrying a hint of grass scent from outdoor use.

Qiaoqiao lay down, and Qin Yize covered her with a coat, gently patting her, "Sleep; I’m here."

Qiaoqiao nodded, indeed, she could rest easy with him there, and she closed her eyes, quickly falling asleep.

Qin Yize’s gaze was steady, watching Qiaoqiao’s sweet sleeping face before quietly sighing. After a moment, once he ensured she was truly asleep, he stood and glanced out the window.

The view here was good; he chose well, and he could see the kindergarten’s situation at a glance.

At this moment, the children had finished eating and were quietly being led by the teachers for a nap.

Qin Yize watched the entrance of the building across, seeing nothing unusual and reaffirmed that Ouyang Wensheng wouldn’t act recklessly even if he knew Zhao Yuan’s location and the person behind it. In the face of absolute interests, he’d weigh which side mattered more.

Qin Yize withdrew his gaze, contemplating that once all the kids were picked up by their parents, they could take action.

He sat on a chair, mentally organizing everything that might happen tonight, then picked up a book to read.
