Transmigrated into a poor peasant family, lacking clothes and food, life is hard enough, why must she also be schemed against by her only relative?
So she's not their biological child, wh...
Watching Jiang Qiao nag about arranging things for everyone in the family, Ning Hao felt a pang of heartache. His little fiancée had considered everyone but him.
"Qiao'er, be careful when you're out and about. You've just recovered. Master Hou said to try to avoid dark places, saying that such places are temporarily bad for your health. Once you've recovered, we won't be afraid anymore."
Also, I'll take good care of things back home, so don't worry. Coming back safely is the most important thing. If Song Shutian hadn't stopped me from going, I would have gone with you.
Jiang Qiao chuckled twice. "Don't go there. That place probably isn't a place that just anyone can come and go as they please. You should just stay home and wait. I'll try to come back as soon as possible."
Also, keep a close eye on Jiang Hong and Jiang He—”
Ning Hao responded, but he didn't know where to begin. He had waited four years and had only been awake for a few days, and now this girl was already rushing off to do errands.
However, he could understand Jiang Qiao's feelings. If those people weren't found, they would never have a peaceful life.
Jiang Qiao remembered Ning Hao's injury and said, "By the way, you can't stop taking this medicine. I still have some in my room. When I get back, I'll give you another acupuncture to stabilize it."
Upon arriving at the guesthouse, Jiang Qiao packed a bag of things and explained them to Ning Hao one by one.
Upon hearing that Jiang Qiao had returned to pack her things, Liu Zhanyu rushed back.
"Jiang Qiao, come with me to the airport. There's a plane that's going there, and I'll see you off. We can talk about everything later."
Ning Hao didn't even have the chance to send his wife there this time; he could only watch helplessly as Liu Zhanyu pulled Jiang Qiao away.
He sighed and recalled what Jiang Qiao had told him.
Jiang Qiao turned and drove away. He was working hard for his family and relatives, and he needed to make good plans for their future.
Once in the car, Jiang Qiao finally had time to close her eyes and catch her breath. The day's events had taken their toll, and even she herself was feeling a bit overwhelmed.
Seeing Jiang Qiao close her eyes and remain silent, Liu Zhanyu also kept quiet. He understood that the girl was tired. Ever since she came, she hadn't had a proper rest. Did she really think that treating patients was effortless? He knew why Jiang Qiao's treatments were so effective—it was all thanks to her internal strength, something most people couldn't do. Of course, the girl would get tired too.
If Jiang Qiao were his own daughter, Liu Zhanyu felt that he would never let her go into this line of work, no matter what. Not only is it risky, but why would a young girl choose this?
Jiang Qiao has escaped death countless times, but this child is lucky. What if it were someone else?
Before she could finish her thought, Jiang Qiao suddenly opened her eyes, straightened up, and shouted at Liu Zhanyu with a tense expression, "Stop the car! There's a bomb!"
That one sentence sent a chill down Liu Zhanyu's spine. Anyone in their line of work knew how dangerous this thing was.
But look at the surroundings. I can't stop the brakes. We're still in the city. There are buildings and houses all around. How am I supposed to park?
But where should the car go? Jiang Qiao saw that Liu Zhanyu hadn't stopped the car, so she immediately grabbed the steering wheel.
"Move aside, I'll drive—"
Having visited this place several times over the past few years, she's gotten to know what kind of place is suitable.
Liu Zhanyu hesitated for a moment, but Jiang Qiao grabbed the steering wheel. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Move aside—"
Make way, Jiang Qiao got into the driver's seat, and drove straight to the nearby moat. That was the safest place; not only would there be fewer people there, but even if something happened, not too many people would be harmed.
Upon arriving at their destination, Jiang Qiao slammed on the brakes, threw her luggage out of the car, and yelled at Liu Zhanyu beside her, "Jump out of the car—"
The abandoned car took off and landed in the water. The two people who landed ran desperately, but after only a few steps, the car exploded with a loud bang.
Liu Zhanyu grabbed Jiang Qiao's neck and lunged forward. When the two of them got up, the water was ablaze with fire.
Liu Zhanyu's eyes were red at this moment, while Jiang Qiao patted her chest in fear. To be honest, if she hadn't been meditating with her eyes closed, she wouldn't have heard the ticking sound at all. It was so faint that anyone else wouldn't have noticed it.
Liu Zhanyu stared blankly at his car. If Jiang Qiao hadn't discovered him in time, this day next year might have been the anniversary of his death.
The two men, both looking disheveled, exchanged a glance and then gave a wry smile.
"Girl, you've saved your dad's life again! These bastards are trying to kill both of us!"
Jiang Qiao sighed, still shaken, and said, "Dad, don't be angry. Let's go, let's find a place to make a phone call quickly. Luckily there's no one on this road, otherwise the damage would have been even greater."
Despite his anger, Liu Zhanyu quickly calmed down.
"Girl, what's your opinion on this?"
Jiang Qiao snorted twice. "I'm dead. The enemy is satisfied. Of course, there will be one less person to cause trouble in the future. It can be considered a successful revenge against me. Maybe they are afraid that I will go and cause trouble with Song Shutian."
As for you, stay here and continue investigating; you might just uncover something.
So, someone like you can't be allowed to stay. It's just that we don't know when the other party placed you there. Never mind, you can investigate this later. Hurry up and find the contact person somewhere.
Jiang Qiao and the others weren't in a particularly remote location, and the explosion immediately attracted the attention of pedestrians and residents in the vicinity.
One by one, people gathered around to ask about their situation, but Liu Zhanyu really wasn't in the mood to explain anything to them.
He inquired about where there was a phone in the vicinity and personally went to contact someone to come over. Jiang Qiao sat on the ground for a long time to recover. Anyone would have been unable to endure this. They were in a life-or-death situation and almost fell into the enemy's trap again. The key point was that they did not know who was responsible.
The crowd gathered around Jiang Qiao, partly on Liu Zhanyu's orders to protect the area, and partly to keep Jiang Qiao company, fearing the enemy might have a backup plan.
"Young lady, are you alright?"
Jiang Qiao's pale face was worrying to see. She shook her head weakly and said, "Auntie, I'm fine."
After hearing about this, Song Zhi and his group arrived very quickly. Seeing his niece sitting on the ground like that, Song Zhi felt a pang of heartache for no reason.
"Qiao'er, Qiao'er, how are you?"
Jiang Qiao tried to stand up, but swayed and almost fell. Luckily, someone next to her helped her up.
"Uncle, I'm fine, I was just scared—"
When the people around heard the name Qiao'er, some of them immediately recognized the girl in front of them after a moment's thought.
Pointing excitedly at Jiang Qiao, he stammered, "She, she's Jiang Qiao, the hero who caught the enemy spy—"
Jiang Qiao waved weakly to everyone, "Thank you all for your company, I'm fine now."
Song Zhi came over and helped Jiang Qiao up. "How are you? Are you hurt?"
Jiang Qiao shook her head. "I was just scared, and now I feel a bit weak."
