The days ahead are long...
For the sake of this trust, Qin Yize would ensure that Qiaoqiao led the happiest life possible!
Sadly, the time allowed for the visit seemed to have passed in the blink of an eye.
Gu Qiaoqiao was escorted out by the security guards.
The Gu Family’s driver was waiting for her at the gate.
Gu Qiaoqiao got into the car.
She inexplicably felt a bit cold.
The Imperial Capital seemed particularly desolate on this winter’s day.
Yet the snow-covered pines on both sides of the road sparkled brilliantly under the winter sun.
And the green pine stood tall and straight, as if it feared not the bitter cold and frost.
Gu Qiaoqiao stared blankly at the green pines flying past the window.
She had been reborn, and in this life, the fates of many people had changed.
The nodes of fate always seemed to get stuck at the most crucial points.
And every time, just when it appeared that the wheel of fate had veered off its original path, it ironically circled back to where it had begun.
In her previous life, Qin Yize was also confined after he had rescued her.
She imagined, it was within such high walls and a vast courtyard.
In a gloomy room with no windows, waiting for the investigation that could come at any moment.
Gu Qiaoqiao lowered her head.
She blinked, holding back the tears in her eyes.
Now everyone was bustling about.
And just now, she gathered from Elder Shen that even he trusted Qin Yize’s character.
Although she did not know what other roles Qin Yize played besides his deputy command position?
But Gu Qiaoqiao always felt that Qin Yize’s frequent participation in so many dangerous missions was not closely related to his current official duties.
Therefore, Gu Qiaoqiao thought that since the country had entrusted him with such important responsibilities, he must have already been thoroughly vetted beforehand.
He must be a person worthy of trust!
At this time, the organization and the country would surely believe in him.
But what Gu Qiaoqiao did not know at this moment was that opinions on this matter had already divided into two camps.
However, whether or not they believed, in the end, everything depended on evidence.
And with this mindset, Gu Qiaoqiao somehow made it through a week.
During this week, Qin Yize remained silent without any news.
According to the hard-to-come-by information, the current situation was not at all in Qin Yize’s favor.
Because there was not a single witness to prove his innocence.
But there were more than a dozen witnesses to confirm his guilt.
They were elders who had lived in that alley for many years.
Some were even cadres on the streets.
They also assured that they were telling the truth.
And the eyewitnesses of that car accident, along with the doctors and nurses from the hospital, all testified that Qin Yize indeed had been with Wang Yuan during the time frame of the incident.
Rumors and gossip sprang up like bamboo shoots after rain within the circles of high society.
Given the Qin Family’s capabilities, Qin Yize should have been safely released by now.
Instead of remaining unheard from!
Therefore, everyone had reasons to believe that this time, the matter was serious.
Moreover, with Qin Lang and Qin Yishan both apprehended and now transferred to a detention center for serious offenders,
it could be said this was the biggest smuggling case since the opening and reform.
Everyone was also saying that Qin Lang and Qin Yishan might not even be able to save their own lives.
At this time, for the sake of their own clear conscience, Qin Yishan’s father-in-law and mother-in-law were exceptionally silent.
And if things continued in this way, without factual evidence to prove Qin Yize’s innocence, even if he eventually saved his life, Qin Yize would lose everything except his status as the heir.
