Chapter 413: Chapter 413: Someone Will Secretly Cooperate with Her Actions Chapter 413: Chapter 413: Someone Will Secretly Cooperate with Her Actions Without waiting for a response from the two, he ran quickly toward the parked jeep.
He soon disappeared into the shade of the trees on the other side.
Gu Qiaoqiao blinked her eyes and looked at Chu Chengfeng, who was clearly confused, and asked, “Are we still going to have lunch here?”
She didn’t know what had happened, but she no longer felt like eating there.
However, since there were other people, if everyone wanted to continue, she didn’t want to spoil the mood.
Especially An Xiaotong, who seemed to be visiting such a place for the first time, and hence was the happiest.
Chu Chengfeng seemed not to have heard Gu Qiaoqiao’s question; he was still staring in the direction she had pointed, blinking hard, then rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand.
But he still couldn’t see any smoke in that direction.
“Sister-in-law, where is the fire? I don’t see any smoke?” Chengfeng did not answer Gu Qiaoqiao’s question but asked urgently instead.
Gu Qiaoqiao looked again in that direction.
There was still black smoke spreading in the sky.
However, Gu Qiaoqiao had forgotten that her eyesight was better than that of an average person.
Meaning, at this distance, even with good eyesight, Chengfeng would not be able to see the smoke that Qiaoqiao could see.
But then, how could Qin Yize have seen it too?
Gu Qiaoqiao’s brow furrowed slightly. Could it be because of the Wolf’s Fang Amulet he was wearing?
Gu Qiaoqiao only had to look again and then turned to Chengfeng, saying, “It’s gone, there was some just before, but I guess the fire wasn’t big and has probably been put out by now.”
“Put out?” Chengfeng looked suspiciously in that direction, “There should still be smoke, though.”
“Perhaps it was blown away by the wind,” Gu Qiaoqiao continued to explain.
Chengfeng made a sound in acknowledgment.
He then said, “That direction seems to be the jurisdiction of the base’s headquarters, but I can’t see clearly, after all, it’s too far away.”
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t want to talk about this anymore.
She knew in her heart that it had to be the headquarters of the base; otherwise, Qin Yize would not have run off so fast.
“Are we continuing the picnic here or going back?” Gu Qiaoqiao asked next.
“I’ll go ask Du Tian,” said Chengfeng as he turned around, “Sister-in-law, don’t stay here alone, let’s go together to find them.”
He didn’t really care.
He could eat or not, but since it was Du Tian’s first time bringing An Xiaotong here, he wasn’t sure what Du Tian was thinking…
In the end, the decision was to continue picnicking here.
Fortunately, Gu Qiaoqiao was familiar with these people, so they chatted and laughed together, lightening the atmosphere in an instant.
Lin Qinghuan sat on a rock by the river, her mind racing.
When she heard Chengfeng mention that it seemed the area of the base’s headquarters was on fire, her heart skipped a beat.
Was it a coincidence or someone’s doing?
She only heard from Ning Wanru that someone would secretly coordinate with her, but was it today?
She immediately denied it to herself. It shouldn’t be.
After all, leaving the house today had been a spontaneous decision.
And they had only called each other to meet up early this morning.
She glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao and the few girls gathered around her, smiled inscrutably, and then bowed her head to start washing the apples she had brought.
The picnic ended pleasantly.
It was now the afternoon, and having eaten and drunk their fill, everyone found it a little boring after a walk around, so they decided to head back.
Chu Chengfeng wanted Gu Qiaoqiao to ride in his car.
Gu Qiaoqiao smiled and found an excuse to refuse because she really didn’t want to ride in the same car as Lin Qinghuan.
