Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 158: The Photo in the Jade

Chapter 158 -158: The Photo in the Jade

Her heart even skipped a beat.

Disbelieving, her eyes widened.

At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao held her breath.

Her heart cramped for a moment, and her face turned even paler.

Gu Qiaoqiao brought the Jade Pocket Watch even closer, staring intently at the specially made photograph.

The photo was black and white, cut into an oval shape, and although not large, the three people inside were very clear.

A man and a woman sat in chairs, with a young man standing behind them.

Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t dare to blink her eyes.

The young man, she knew, was her grandfather—Gu Dashan.

Her grandfather looked slightly more mature in his wedding photo, but she still recognized him at a glance.

And that woman seemed to be her in her previous life at the age of twenty-nine.

She bore a strong resemblance.

The woman in the photo wore a cheongsam, her hair put up in a bun, with a jade hairpin slanted into it.

She had a very happy smile.

The man was a stranger, handsome, and from his appearance, one could tell he was the young man’s father.

What was going on?

Why did Grandma Yu have such a photo?

Could it be?

Was she the woman in the photo?

But…

Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart pounded violently.

A bold guess surged in her mind.

The woman and man in the photo, were her grandfather’s parents!

Then, was the fainting Grandma Yu in front of her, her Great Grandma?

Was she?

If so, why had she ended up in the North while her grandfather had never mentioned this?

If a person was lost, wouldn’t anyone look for her?

Even if no one did search, it couldn’t be that there was no mention at all.

Gu Qiaoqiao furrowed her brows slightly.

“Gu Qiaoqiao… Gu Qiaoqiao…” At this time, Du Shuang’s urgent shouts suddenly came.

Gu Qiaoqiao snapped the Jade Pocket Watch shut.

With trembling fingers, she put the pocket watch back on Grandma Yu, and then yelled loudly, “Sister-in-law, I’m here…”

Afterward, Du Shuang ran this way, sweating profusely, followed by a logistics worker.

There wasn’t time to explain the details now, with Grandma Yu still unconscious.

And Gu Qiaoqiao’s mind was in such turmoil, she couldn’t calm down at all.

Soon, the truck arrived on the main road, and the logistics team leader, seeing Gu Qiaoqiao unharmed, finally let the heart hanging in his throat relax.

The two of them carefully carried Grandma Yu onto the truck, and Gu Qiaoqiao told the logistics team leader she had just been kidnapped.

Fortunately, she had escaped.

And at this moment, she had no idea about the whereabouts of those two people.

The team leader’s expression was somber as he decisively ordered the driver to take Grandma Yu to the base hospital and to notify for immediate assistance.

Then he reached to his lower back, where Gu Qiaoqiao could see there might be a weapon concealed.

“Be careful on your own,” Gu Qiaoqiao said. “One of them had a knife.”

The logistics team leader shook his head, fully aware that it had been half a day, and with not a rustle in the woods, those people had likely long since fled.

But, this Gu Qiaoqiao was quite formidable.

Without the chance to ask for a detailed account, the logistics team leader quickly ran toward the location of the incident and soon entered the woods.

Meanwhile, the logistics driver headed toward the base.

Seeing the state of Gu Qiaoqiao’s face and ankle, Du Shuang spoke with residual fear, “How could such a big incident happen, you scared me to death, if something had happened to you…”

Du Shuang actually cried as she said this, sobbing, “If something happened to you, not to mention I couldn’t explain it to Doctor Qin, I wouldn’t even be able to forgive myself…”

Then, without waiting for Gu Qiaoqiao to speak, she began to check on her, not daring to touch the wound on Gu Qiaoqiao’s face, worried that bacteria on her hands might cause an infection.

Gu Qiaoqiao’s face was tender; what would they do if a scar was left?

“Luckily you’re not hurt…” She wiped away another tear and said angrily, “Next time you come out with me, if you dare run off again, I’ll break your legs…”

A wave of warmth flooded her heart, and Gu Qiaoqiao kept apologizing to Du Shuang, “Sister-in-law, it’s all my fault. Don’t be mad, I won’t dare do it again.”

As they talked, the truck entered the research base’s hospital.

Considering the local medical conditions, this base’s hospital had opened to the local people two years ago.

After the examination, the elderly person had only fainted due to excitement and would be fine upon waking.

As for that kick, Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t mention it because she had already healed it.

A serious-looking male doctor began to apply medicine to Gu Qiaoqiao’s face, with Du Shuang watching anxiously by her side.

The doctor wasn’t wearing a mask, just slightly red in the face.

Apparently, he was embarrassed by Du Shuang’s intense gaze.

Seeing that things were almost settled, Gu Qiaoqiao asked Du Shuang to go back first, as there were still some family members waiting in the grocery store.

They split into three groups.

Du Shuang took the family members back to the base in another truck.

Meanwhile, the third squad of the security team swiftly took over the mission.

The captain and the base’s number one person were in charge of commanding personally.

He did not see this incident as a common robbery.

It was an organized and planned action targeting Gu Qiaoqiao.

Especially after the incident involving the spy, Zhao Ying, he dared not take it lightly.

Moreover, Qin Yize, with his mysterious team, had successfully destroyed the spy liaison point hidden five hundred kilometers away in Mountain City.

The principal culprit committed suicide by taking poison on the spot, while another accomplice didn’t have the chance to do so before Qin Yize dislocated his jaw.

After the interrogation that followed, a lot of information was revealed.

The biggest gain this time was learning about several of their branches within the country.

They also intercepted and decrypted many received and sent radio waves.

The majority of the enemy forces were directly crushed.

In the short term, they would definitely not dare to show their faces again.

But Gu Qiaoqiao had almost been in danger, so this incident was definitely not a coincidence.

Fortunately, Gu Qiaoqiao was safe and sound; otherwise, how would he explain to Qin Yize?

As for the two men who had kidnapped Gu Qiaoqiao, one was already dead, probably to silence him, and the other was thought to have escaped to the deep mountains.

The pursuit officially began.

And all of this was unknown to Gu Qiaoqiao.

But since she had entered the safety of the base’s compound, there was no problem with her safety.

A member of the security team was dispatched to inform the daughter of Grandma Yu, who worked at the lumber mill.

And Gu Qiaoqiao sat by Grandma Yu’s side, waiting for her to wake up.

Although it seemed like a lot had happened, it had only been two hours.

But by then it was already noon.

A security team member tasked with helping Gu Qiaoqiao brought her lunch. Gu Qiaoqiao only ate a few bites before putting down her chopsticks.

Her mind was in utter turmoil.

Who exactly was Grandma Yu before her?

She was extremely anxious.

After the young man took the remaining food away and brought Gu Qiaoqiao water, she thanked him with a smile and told him to go have his meal.

Then she stood up to check on Grandma Yu’s condition.

She sat back down and, looking at Grandma Yu’s chest, hesitated but still couldn’t resist wanting to take another look.
