He just sat there, staring into space, and no one knew what he was thinking.
So, receiving a call from Gu Qiaoqiao at this time was still a slight comfort to Elder Shen.
Gu Qiaoqiao did not beat around the bush—her voice urgent, she said straightforwardly, "Elder Shen, let me go find Qin Yize. I can locate him in the shortest time possible. Otherwise, if this continues, even if we find him, he won’t be alive."
"You can find him in the shortest time possible?"
"Yes, just drop me in that Snow Mountain Valley, I’ll find him at the fastest speed!"
"Elder Shen, please believe me!"
Gu Qiaoqiao emphasized her tone.
Elder Shen on the other end pondered for a moment.
Qin Yize was his right-hand man.
These days, he too had been sleeplessly commanding the search and rescue.
But he also knew that as time passed, the hope of Qin Yize surviving was getting slimmer.
And even if he did survive,
In such adverse weather conditions,
With his leg still injured, chances were, it might be rendered useless.
He thought that this would be absolutely unbearable for Qin Yize.
But even so, being alive was what mattered.
What he was worried about now was that the rescuers might only find a cold corpse.
So Elder Shen did not consider further, nor did he deliberate.
In times of crisis, extraordinary measures are warranted.
He said decisively, "Gu Qiaoqiao, wait at Gu Garden. A car will come to pick you up in half an hour and then take you to Snow Mountain Valley."
Gu Qiaoqiao was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, Elder Shen, thank you so much. I’ll wait for you at home."
After finishing, Elder Shen on the other end hung up the phone.
Gu Qiaoqiao remained stunned for a moment, then also put down the phone.
She then pushed open the door to the study, walked into the living room, and said to her family, "I’m going to the North. I will leave in half an hour."
Everyone was shocked.
Gu Qingfeng frowned and asked Gu Qiaoqiao with a serious voice, "Qiaoqiao, are you sure you want to go?"
Then she stopped talking to anyone else.
Instead, she dashed to her own yard,
And started packing as quickly as possible.
The people in the living room looked at each other,
In such a moment, no one could express an opinion.
In a few days, it would be the Spring Festival.
How long would Gu Qiaoqiao be gone?
But could they stop her from going?
Qin Yize’s life and death were unknown at the moment.
Their divorce had not been voluntary.
Now, at this juncture of life and death, how could Gu Qiaoqiao stand idly by and celebrate the new year in joy and happiness.
They could only hope that, according to Gu Qiaoqiao’s capabilities, she would find Qin Yize.
At this time, Xiao Wen went to Gu Qiaoqiao’s room.
By then, Gu Qiaoqiao had already packed everything she needed to take with her.
Seeing Xiao Wen coming in, she hurriedly said, "Xiao Wen, I was just about to look for you."
Xiao Wen nodded seriously, "Qiaoqiao, I understand what you mean. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Gu Garden."
Gu Qiaoqiao reached out and embraced Xiao Wen, whispering, "Xiao Wen, I’m so glad you came into my life, otherwise I really wouldn’t feel at ease leaving this place."
Xiao Wen patted Gu Qiaoqiao’s back and said, "Take the Mysterious Dragon Box with you, and put the remaining Red Spirit Jade Marrow inside. It might come in handy at a critical moment."
Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, "Xiao Wen, you need to be careful with Dongfang Yu here; he is unpredictable and acts without a set pattern, so try not to confront him directly."
