Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 1484: She Might Have Clues About the North Warehouse Fires

Gu Qiaoqiao took a deep breath and reached out to wipe away the tears on her face. Her slightly blurry gaze turned to the quiet Qin Yize lying on the hospital bed, and a sharp pain arose anew. Her hand clutched the sweater at her chest, forcing herself to calm down. Then, she asked in a deep voice, "Grandpa Luo, can you get in touch with Elder Shen?"

"I can reach him. Do you want to call him now?"

"Yes, there’s something I want to discuss with him."

Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t know the details of the task, but she knew Elder Shen was once Qin Yize’s direct superior. Although she wasn’t sure of their current status, she believed they must still have some connection, given Elder Shen’s high standing in Huaxia Xinguo and Qin Yize’s role as a key protégé.

She could seek out others, but Gu Qiaoqiao preferred to approach Elder Shen directly, minimizing unnecessary trouble.

"Alright, Qiaoqiao, you don’t need to call him. I’ll have Elder Shen call you."

"Hmm, thank you, Grandpa Luo..." Gu Qiaoqiao thanked softly.

"Good child, don’t mention the trouble between us. The consultation report will be out tomorrow, and barring any unexpected turns, you’ll return to the Imperial Capital the day after. Then, Grandpa Luo and Luo Fan will visit you. Qiaoqiao, remember, there’s no obstacle in this world that’s insurmountable, no Flame Mountain that can’t be crossed..." Elder Luo’s voice was firm and encouraging.

"I understand, Grandpa Luo..." Gu Qiaoqiao replied softly. "Don’t worry, Grandpa Luo. I can hold on. Ah Ze will be alright; he will definitely wake up."

"Exactly, that’s the mindset you should have, and it will conquer everything. Alright, I won’t say more. I’ll have Elder Shen call you right away."

With that, Luo Zhenyu hung up the phone and dialed Elder Shen’s office, knowing he’d be busy with official duties at this time. Sure enough, Loo Zhigang answered the call, followed by Elder Shen’s resonant voice over the receiver, "Old Luo, what’s the matter?"

"Qiaoqiao called me earlier, saying she needs to discuss something with you. Can you call her now? I have her phone number here."

Both of these elderly gentlemen had the phone number for Qin Yize’s hospital room, though they hadn’t called until now.

Despite the many concerns lately, Elder Shen was still visibly healthy and red-faced, his previously slightly hunched back now straight even while seated.

To the receiver, Elder Luo said, "Alright, I have the number here. I’ll call her now."

Loo Zhigang stood by, observing Elder Shen, who appeared calm but had a hint of worry in his brow, evidently anxious these past few days.

He then stepped out to brew a cup of calming tea for Elder Shen.

It was a fire-clearing tea. Although Elder Shen was in good health now, it was still important to pay attention to these details.

It was unclear who Elder Shen was calling.

Soon, Elder Shen dialed the number to Qin Yize’s hospital room, and Gu Qiaoqiao, who had been waiting for the call, was startled by the sudden ring.

Gu Qiaoqiao rubbed her forehead, feeling a bit on edge lately. She quickly answered the call, hearing Elder Shen’s strong voice from the other end, "Qiaoqiao, it’s your Grandpa Shen."

Loo Zhigang immediately understood; oh, the call was to Gu Qiaoqiao, concerning her husband, Qin Yize.

He was truly a hero!

Only in moments of crisis can one truly see a person’s character, and Qin Yize, the recipient of a special medal, a deputy commander at the base headquarters, heroically risked everything for an ordinary policeman. He’s truly admirable, and this has nothing to do with his background.

Previously, he thought people like Qin Yize, born into an unattainable status, would be incredibly proud, but now he’s changed his perspective.

Quietly, he stepped out, noticing the office was chilly tonight, clearly, Elder Shen would be busy for a while, so he went to fetch a piece of clothing for him.

At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao felt much better. She took a deep breath and said softly, "Grandpa Shen, I just called Grandpa Luo. He said you already know about Qin Yize." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Yes, we learned about it immediately. I’m sure your Grandpa Luo discussed our arrangements with you. Is there something you need to talk to me about, Qiaoqiao?"

Gu Qiaoqiao hesitated, her gaze returning to Qin Yize lying on the bed outside the ward. He came here with a mission, and if possible, she didn’t want Qin Yize to have any regrets.

So, Gu Qiaoqiao spoke candidly, "Grandpa Shen, I know it’s against protocol to ask this, but can you tell me about Ah Ze’s task?"

Elder Shen was truly taken aback, surprised by Gu Qiaoqiao’s inquiry, having assumed she’d discuss Qin Yize’s condition or something else with him.

Thus, Elder Shen pondered, wondering if Qiaoqiao had discovered some clue since she asked this question.

Towards Gu Qiaoqiao, Elder Shen held a firm belief in his heart, that this child shouldn’t be considered just an ordinary girl.

Moreover, he knew Qiaoqiao was undoubtedly trustworthy, and this task wasn’t so secretive that it couldn’t be shared with anyone.

So Elder Shen straightforwardly said, "Qiaoqiao, I can tell you about Ah Ze’s task, but first, tell Grandpa, do you want to help him complete it?"

On the other end, hearing Elder Shen call him Grandpa sparked warmth in Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart, and she choked up, "Grandpa Shen, if possible, I’d like to help him achieve it..."

"Qiaoqiao, don’t be sad. It’s okay if the task isn’t completed; we can send others to handle it."

"Grandpa Shen, to be honest, the series of fires at the Northern Granary are very bizarre. I happened to discover a person, a feng shui fortune teller named Huang Tiekou, who’s Huang Yu’s master. He indeed has some abilities, and he possesses something..."

At this point, Gu Qiaoqiao paused, then continued, "Grandpa Shen, I’m only telling you this: he has something called a Shock Thunder Talisman. It’s the item Huang Yu used intending to blow up Captain Su and everyone on the boat. The Shock Thunder Talisman has no effect on the sea, but in a gale, it can trigger uncontrollable widespread fires, and you won’t be able to determine the cause of the blaze..."

Elder Shen’s brows furrowed instantly, unconsciously standing up, asking in a deep voice, "Qiaoqiao, are you sure?"

"I’m sure about these items, just unsure if he’s related to those fires."

"Qiaoqiao, is this matter very dangerous?" Elder Shen asked in a grave tone.
