Chapter 452: Chapter 452: A Strange Place Chapter 452: Chapter 452: A Strange Place This was his little wife.
When she woke up, she turned out to be so adorable.
He also found it hard to bear.
But still, he had to wake her up.
The plane at ten o’clock was a bit of a rush.
He stood at the door and called out to her gently, “Qiaoqiao, it’s time to get up. We need to set off after breakfast.”
“Oh…” Gu Qiaoqiao replied groggily, and with an effort, she opened her eyes wide.
And finally, she was completely awake.
Qin Yize told her some things and then he left in a hurry after having breakfast.
By this time, the driver had also arrived at the Qin family’s place.
The car was loaded with Gu Qiaoqiao’s luggage and there was another car following them with four bodyguards inside.
All of them were trained by Uncle Gu, and they were very skilled.
The few who had colluded with Ning Wanru had been completely removed by him.
Uncle Gu had suspected his son for a while.
But thankfully, his son’s name was not among those people.
This gave Uncle Gu some relief.
This time, he did not take his son with him.
Instead, he let his son stay close to the Old Patriarch.
After passing many tests, he knew his son was ready to take over his responsibilities when he was away.
The plane heading to Diannan Provincial City took off.
It was the first time in this life and her previous life that Gu Qiaoqiao had flown in a plane.
She looked at the boundless sea of clouds outside, feeling a tumult within her.
However, unlike her initial worries, knowing that Qin Yize was also going to Diannan settled her nerves quite a bit.
Time flew by swiftly.
After a six-hour flight, the plane arrived at the airport of Diannan Provincial City.
The itinerary along the way had been arranged well in advance by Uncle Gu.
As soon as they left the airport, there were several vehicles waiting outside.
As they needed to continue their journey to the Jade Mine without delay.
The Jade Mine was nestled deep in the mountains of Diannan.
The landscape here was extraordinary.
Some areas were rich in jade deposits.
Yet other places were rife with venomous snakes and insects.
Some areas were lush and verdant, while others were devoid of grass.
It was a truly peculiar place.
Moreover, the forests at the lower elevations were filled with suffocating miasma.
Within a hundred miles of these woods, few living creatures were active.
By now it was late afternoon.
Gu Qiaoqiao was sitting in a car with Uncle Gu and Zhang Yi, heading to the Jade Mine.
The scenery outside the window was completely different from that of the North.
The distance from the provincial city to the Jade Mine was over eight hundred miles.
Traveling on the road at a normal speed would take about six hours.
But on these mountain roads, it took more than eight hours.
Around several fortresses on the way to the Jade Mine, there were scattered villages and towns.
They arrived at a town called Ah Jia’s Town.
By that time, night had already fallen.
Uncle Gu and his group spent the night there.
Because there were still over two hundred miles to the Jade Mine.
Even in haste, it was impossible to travel through the night, for the mountain roads were too dangerous.
They could only wait for daylight the next day.
By the time the next day dawned, Uncle Gu had already packed up everything.
Gu Qiaoqiao felt somewhat ashamed.
There were many things that she didn’t have to lift a finger to do.
And yet, she felt as if she was on a vacation throughout the journey.
She didn’t help at all; instead, it was Uncle Gu who was taking care of her.
And the other things were all being handled by the bodyguards.
So Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t feel tired, and she was in great spirits.
