Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 1482: He Never Thought He’d Come Back Alive

Captain Su was very busy this day, so busy he forgot the time for dinner. He came here to discuss something with Gu Qiaoqiao, and also to say goodbye. But seeing Captain Su’s appearance, Xiao Shuang knew he definitely hadn’t eaten. So without waiting for Captain Su to refuse, she picked up a clean lunch box and said to Captain Su, "Captain Su, I know you haven’t eaten yet and Qiaoqiao has just returned. Why don’t you eat with us? I’ll go get some food right now."

Captain Su glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao, who had obviously lost a lot of weight, considered for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, I’ll eat here."

Xiao Shuang happily and briskly headed downstairs to the cafeteria.

Xiao Shuang was very quick, afraid that Captain Su might change his mind. She quickly brought back the food, and without much talk, they finished dinner simply. Afterward, Gu Qiaoqiao led Captain Su to Qin Yize’s hospital room.

Standing by the bedside, Captain Su looked at Qin Yize with full of guilt, then reached out and shook his hand, applying a bit of strength, and said in a low voice, "Brother..."

Afterward, he became somewhat choked up, leaving the next words unsaid. Slowly, he released Qin Yize’s hand, and the phrase "Take care" was ultimately swallowed back.

Sometimes this phrase carries a sense of foreboding. He hoped Qin Yize is alright.

Although Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t know what Captain Su just swallowed, she knew that Captain Su always had a heavy sense of guilt in his heart. If Qin Yize hadn’t saved him, it would be him lying here, and he might be worse off than Qin Yize, possibly blown to pieces.

Gu Qiaoqiao knew Qin Yize’s character. She’s never blamed him, nor does she want Captain Su to carry such a heavy burden, so she changed the subject, asking, "Captain Su, do you have business with me?"

Captain Su grasped his hands and said in a deep voice, "Tomorrow I have a mission on Xiang Island, and today I’m here to say goodbye to you and Ah Ze."

"The mission is dangerous, right?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked worriedly.

Captain Su hesitated for a moment then calmly said, "I cannot predict."

As he spoke, he took out an envelope from his pocket and said very calmly, "Qiaoqiao, maybe I can’t come back. I don’t have many family members here; this savings account contains the money I’ve saved since I started working. It’s not much; please keep it for me."

Gu Qiaoqiao was stunned, looking at the envelope without reaching out to take it. After deliberating for a moment, she replied tactfully, "Captain Su, I’m sorry, I can’t help you keep it. You can leave it with a colleague or in your office; in any case, I won’t take it."

"Qiaoqiao, you misunderstood. I didn’t mean to use this money as compensation. I know the legacy of the Gu Family and the Qin Family; I’ve never thought of that. To be honest, Ah Ze and I were just acquaintances by chance, but he fell here saving me..."

At this point, Captain Su paused, then continued lowly and deliberately, "From now on, he’s my real brother, and you’re my real sister-in-law. I hope you won’t despise my heartfelt gesture."

Gu Qiaoqiao stared blankly at Captain Su. Why did Captain Su give off a feeling like he was saying his last words?

Does this mission really foretell doom?

Unfortunately, she can’t read faces nor predict the future, so she doesn’t know whether Captain Su will face doom or fortune.

Seeing Gu Qiaoqiao silent, Captain Su continued in a low voice, "Qiaoqiao, maybe you don’t know, but Boss Huang Yu is the murderer who killed my wife."

"What?"

Gu Qiaoqiao was truly stunned this time. She didn’t know about this.

Captain Su’s expression turned somber.

At this moment, the lights in the hospital room were bright. The orange curtains and the lighting combined to make the room feel very warm.

However, Captain Su felt as though he was constantly living in Hell.

This time, he wants to avenge his wife personally, yet the opposing gang’s forces are indeed enormous. Additionally, for certain reasons, the local police force cannot reach there, so he never expects to return alive.

"Qiaoqiao, from my accent, you should know I’m not from here. I’m from the North. I met my wife in college. I loved her dearly, then followed her to Sky Sea City. She taught at a school while I worked as a cop at the precinct. During a mission, I captured Boss Huang Yu’s brother. Later, because of his numerous crimes, he was sentenced to death. Boss Huang Yu retaliated by bringing people to kill my wife..."

Although Captain Su’s voice was very calm, this very calmness made the pain and despair from the depths of his memory even more suffocating.

Captain Su didn’t say anything more.

This tall man, now with a calm face, but Gu Qiaoqiao noticed his hands were trembling slightly.

Obviously, bringing up his wife plunged him into painful memories again. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Gu Qiaoqiao felt very sad, but any pale comfort was meaningless. She stopped asking further and simply reached out to take the envelope from him, "Big Brother Su, I’ll keep this envelope for you."

Afterward, Gu Qiaoqiao thought for a moment, then went to the cabinet where things were placed, opening the travel bag inside. Fortunately, she had the habit of carrying peace Buddha pendants with her.

She hadn’t carved many; there were only three in her possession. She took one out, then walked over to Captain Su, and said very seriously, "Big Brother Su, since you consider Ah Ze a brother, now wear this peace Buddha. It will keep you safe. Please trust me."

By the end, Gu Qiaoqiao’s expression had become increasingly serious.

Captain Su was a straightforward person; he hesitated only a moment before taking the peace Buddha from Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand and putting it on. He didn’t know what use the peace Buddha had, but it was Gu Qiaoqiao’s heartfelt gesture. From the moment she changed to calling him brother, he had considered the two of them his family.

But when the peace Buddha was placed around his neck, Captain Su froze for a moment. Was it an illusion? Why did he feel as if a warm current silently spread to his cold and despairing heart?

He glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao but did not ask, instead saying softly, "Thank you, Qiaoqiao."

"Big Brother Su, please don’t let this peace Buddha leave your body," Gu Qiaoqiao reminded worriedly.

Captain Su nodded, "Mm, I’ve noted it."

Then he turned to look steadily at Qin Yize on the hospital bed, his eyes seeming to glisten with tears. He pressed his thin lips tightly together and said nothing. At this moment, even Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t know what he was thinking. The room fell into silence.
