Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 1507: Departure for the Southwest Base

Chapter 1507: Chapter 1507: Departure for the Southwest Base

Gu Muran cast a sideways glance at Gu Qiaoqiao and frowned, "We’re all family, why say those two words?"

Gu Qiaoqiao chuckled, "Big brother, if I can’t make it back for the Spring Festival, there are some things at Lifeng Security Company that need to be taken care of. Can you go to Jinling City on my behalf?"

Gu Muran thought for a moment and nodded readily, "Whatever you need me to do, I’ll do it."

Finally, Qin Xuan and Gu Tianfeng, standing by the side, had a chance to join the conversation. With so many family members around, you had to queue up to talk.

The two of them gave Gu Qiaoqiao repeated instructions, and Qin Xuan handed Gu Qiaoqiao several phone numbers, which were contacts of his students on her way to the Southwest. If anything happened, she could reach out to them for help.

Gu Qiaoqiao accepted the note with the contacts, while Gu Tianfeng went to the temporary rest area and soon returned with a bulky wallet. It was meant for New Year’s shopping, prepared by Lian Yuhong, and was now just right for Gu Qiaoqiao to use.

Gu Qiaoqiao accepted everything and reminded everyone of a few things. This Gu Qiaoqiao was completely different from the one yesterday; her eyebrows were relaxed, and her eyes brightened, as if she had gained a new spirit. This change filled both the Qin Family and Gu Family with hope for their trip to the Southwest.

After asking the family to inform a few of the elders, Gu Qiaoqiao went to make a phone call.

This time she called Elder Shen, because the place she was going was a newly established experimental base, and without the permission of the base’s manager, they couldn’t get in at all.

Gu Qiaoqiao knew the timing, thinking Elder Shen would be at work, but unexpectedly, he had stayed at the office the previous day. Loo Zhigang, smiling, told Gu Qiaoqiao, "Elder Shen will be back soon, please wait a moment."

Sure enough, five minutes later, Elder Shen’s call came through to the ward. Gu Qiaoqiao spoke in a low voice, "Grandpa Shen, I’m preparing to take Ah Ze to the Southwest Experimental Base."

Elder Shen was taken aback, "Qiaoqiao, what are you going there for?"

Gu Qiaoqiao could have hidden all three of them, but she felt she shouldn’t deceive Elder Shen. After all, some things were understood without saying, and with Elder Shen’s great wisdom, how could he not figure out what kind of person she was after all these events? So, there was no need for Gu Qiaoqiao to be evasive.

"Grandpa Shen, I’m going there for Ah Ze’s illness. Maybe this time Ah Ze can wake up."

Elder Shen paused for a moment on the other end of the line, then readily agreed, "Okay, I’ll notify the base manager. Whatever you need to do, just go ahead and do it."

At this, Gu Qiaoqiao’s tone became light, "Grandpa Shen, aren’t you afraid I’ll do something bad?"

Hearing Gu Qiaoqiao speak so lightly, Elder Shen suddenly felt at ease for some reason. It seemed that this trip to the Southwest might indeed awaken his beloved Qin Yize, so he joked lightly, "Little girl, are you trying to scare Grandpa? Don’t worry, as long as you don’t punch a hole in the sky, Grandpa’s got you covered."

"Grandpa Shen, you’re so kind!" Gu Qiaoqiao quickly praised.

A hearty laugh came from Elder Shen on the other end, "Girl, you seem quite confident. Go on, I’ll make sure you have a green light all the way."

With Elder Shen’s words, Gu Qiaoqiao felt truly at ease. At least, the road ahead would be unobstructed.

After a few more words with Elder Shen and advising him to take care of his health, Gu Qiaoqiao put down the phone. By now, everything was ready. Using a special wheelchair, they transported Qin Yize downstairs, then carefully placed him in the car and adjusted the seat.

The Gu Family’s car was newly bought; the back seat could be turned into a bed after adjustment, making it very comfortable. There was even a small table inside. This car was quite luxurious and was specifically bought by the Old Patriarch for Gu Qiaoqiao.

After saying goodbye to the family, Ling Nan started the car, and the black sedan sped towards the Southwest Base.

Meanwhile, the Gu Family and Qin Family stood at the hospital entrance. Somehow, the heavy feeling in their hearts seemed to have dissipated.

Sometimes, emotions truly are contagious.

Like this morning, Gu Qiaoqiao’s look let them know there was a turn for the better.

At this time, Gu Qiaoqiao sat beside Qin Yize. Over the past few days, Qin Yize occasionally received some nutritional fluids, but very little since his body didn’t really need it.

This had also become one of the doctors’ riddles.

The shadows of trees outside the car window zipped by, and Ling Nan drove steadily and quickly. From behind, Ling Nan already looked like a responsible man.

With Ling Nan on this journey, Gu Qiaoqiao felt much more at ease. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

It was January 25th, the day they set off, having stayed in the Imperial Capital for exactly one week before leaving again.

All being well, they should be back before the New Year.

Gu Qiaoqiao and Ling Nan didn’t delay, traveling day and night towards the Southwest Base.

After all, both of them were from the Mystic Sect and had many ways to alleviate fatigue. During this time, Gu Qiaoqiao could also occasionally take over driving from Ling Nan.

Gu Qiaoqiao had already learned how to drive, taught by Qin Yize himself.

Gu Qiaoqiao’s senses were already extraordinary, so learning to drive was a walk in the park. The only thing was she still needed to study some materials and take an exam; practical operation wasn’t a problem, only lacking theoretical knowledge and a driver’s license.

However, Gu Qiaoqiao ignored all this on the journey, as it was impossible for Ling Nan to do all the driving. Some mountain roads were tough to traverse.

It required full concentration, and fatigue driving was not an option.

But Gu Qiaoqiao only drove on deserted roads, immediately handing over the wheel to Ling Nan when they reached urban areas.

Traffic rules had to be observed.

These were trivial matters. About halfway through the journey, Gu Qiaoqiao and the others encountered a group of highway robbers.

Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t want to complicate things and wished to accumulate some good fortune for Qin Yize. She intended to give these people a chance to retreat and not provoke her or Ling Nan, both from the Mystic Sect.

Unfortunately, due to the area’s unique geographical conditions, these people had been emboldened by profits, acting lawlessly. They not only demanded all their money and belongings but also set their sights on Gu Qiaoqiao.

They said they could let Ling Nan go but wanted to keep Gu Qiaoqiao for their enjoyment.

That remark angered Ling Nan.

Before Gu Qiaoqiao could act, Ling Nan, like a whirlwind, charged at the eight men surrounding them.

Eight men!

All burly and robust, yet not even enough for Ling Nan as a snack.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Ling Nan had knocked down these overconfident robbers who thought victory was assured.
