Jian Ling waved her hand. "No need. Go wash up first. Later, you still need to find out something. This morning they said your bureau chief might be released, but we're not sure when."
Dong Kaizhen looked on in astonishment. "Really?"
"Would I lie to you? Hurry up and wash up so we can get everyone back sooner, then we'll have one more helper."
Dong Kaizhen happily ran off to wash up, while Jian Ling had already started heating up the food. She had prepared it in the afternoon so that they could eat early and she could take Gu Zhengkai and the others to the train station.
Dong Kaizhen didn't know if it was because their bureau chief was going out that she was happy, or if she just didn't have much of an appetite today. Anyway, she only ate a few bites, gave Gu Zhengkai and the others a few instructions, and then hurriedly left.
On the way, Gu Zhengkai was still worried about Jiang Qiao. "Jian Ling, if you see Jiang Qiao, tell her to be careful."
"Tell me, what kind of mess is this? She's perfectly pregnant, and someone's framed like this. I've never seen a pregnant woman so aggrieved."
As Jian Ling drove, she sighed, "That's right. Don't worry, we're looking for her too. But Qiao'er is always easy to take care of; she knows how to take care of herself."
Go back and have a good talk with your uncle and the others. Don't get upset; we're here for you.
Gu Zhihong spent the whole afternoon discussing with Gu Zhengkai that he wanted to stay, but his uncle did not agree.
Sure enough, the young man left somewhat unhappy.
Jian Ling knew a bit about the situation. "Zhihong, go home and stay with your grandfather and the others. If you stay here, tell me, who in the family can feel at ease?"
We're not staying here to play around; we could really lose our lives. What are those people? They're all desperate criminals. If you stay safe, your sister won't worry.
“Aunt Jian, I just wanted to stay and help you. It wouldn’t be right for none of us from the family to stay here while you’re all here.”
Gu Zhixuan sighed, "Zhihong, if we stay, that will only cause trouble for everyone."
Some people are using our family background to their advantage and trying to drag us out. What are you going to do about Aunt Jian and the others?
Going back will be good for everyone. Don't be fooled by how peaceful we are now; remember what Aunt Jian and the others did for us before.
"If it weren't for Uncle Yang protecting him, do you think my dad could work so diligently?"
Gu Zhihong understood the reasoning, but he was still worried about his sister. She was nowhere to be found, neither alive nor dead. Who knew what the situation was now? Everyone felt that his sister was still alive, but where was she?
Gu Zhengkai sighed and put his arm around his nephew's shoulder. "Uncle knows you feel sorry for your sister, but don't forget what she said before she left: everyone in the family should do what they are supposed to do. If we are all well, your sister will be the safest."
Jianling chimed in, "That's right, Zhihong. Go home and listen to your grandfather. If you want to help your sister, now is not the time. Study hard, and it won't be too late to help your sister later."
Gu Zhengkai and his family left. Although there was no news of Jiang Qiao, at least their son's marriage was settled.
When Dong Kaizhen returned home that evening, she didn't look very happy.
"What's wrong? No news?"
Dong Kaizhen sighed, "It hasn't been approved yet. However, I heard that our Director Jiang's health is very poor. It's said that those people won't even let him bring his medicine. Liu Zhanyu is keeping an eye on things over there, saying that he'll let us know as soon as there's good news."
"What about Xiao Song?"
Dong Kaizhen sighed, "Same here, waiting for approval."
Jian Ling patted Dong Kaizhen on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, as soon as you get out, have someone take your director to the hospital immediately."
This situation isn't something you can explain away just by being right.
Dong Kaizhen understands this principle. If it could be explained clearly, this wouldn't have happened today. Would they have needed to mobilize all of them? Jiang Qiao wouldn't have run into trouble halfway through.
"Alright, don't be sad. Go drink some soup. I made ginseng soup for everyone. It's good for us to get some nourishment. When we're healthy, we can help those in need in the future. Maybe we'll have good news tomorrow?"
As they were talking, a car pulled up at the door, and Lu Zhiyuan and his wife brought a lot of things. The veterans inside came out to help.
"My goodness, I've finally found some time! Comrades, I wish you all a belated Happy New Year."
The veterans happily shook hands and exchanged New Year's greetings with Lu Zhiyuan and the others.
"Oh, I know you're busy. If you don't have time, don't come over. There are other people at home, like Jianling and the others. It's lively here too. Have you been busy all year?
"If we had known you were coming, we would have let Zhengkai stay an extra day, so you could have met."
Lu Zhiyuan sighed, "I knew Zhengkai was here. I've been working at the troops these past few days and haven't had any time. I was thinking I'd run into him if I came over tonight, but I didn't expect him to leave in such a hurry."
When Jian Ling and the others arrived, they heard Lu Zhiyuan say this. She chimed in, "There's nothing we can do. Zhengkai has to work, and he's worried about things at home. There will be plenty of opportunities to see him again in the future."
Let's go inside and talk—
As Chai Qiuxia walked with Jian Ling and Dong Kaizhen in her hands, she said, "I've heard Jiang Qiao mention you before, so I had some time to come and see you. How have you been lately? Any good news?"
Dong Kaizhen shook her head. "There's no news about Jiang Qiao yet, but we believe that God will protect this child."
Lu Zhiyuan was more concerned about Jiang Qiao's current situation.
Jian Ling felt somewhat guilty about what she said. Jiang Qiao is doing well now, and with so many people concerned about the child, she, as the aunt, simply couldn't tell the truth.
"Sigh, not only us, but even her workplace has no news about her. How to put it, it's both a good thing and a bad thing."
Lu Zhiyuan sighed, "No news is good news."
I heard that some fools are planning to rush into this courtyard?
Qin Junlin explained from the side, "I heard Jian Ling mention this before. It was just a plan, and before it could be carried out, they got arrested."
Lu Zhiyuan snorted, "These bastards have some nerve, daring to do your thing."
If this happens again, remember to tell us. If we can't even protect a few of you, what have I been doing all these years?
Qin Junlin smiled and said, "Don't worry, if you dare to offend the older brothers, I'm not one to be trifled with. If you want to come in, you'll have to wade over me."
Lu Zhiyuan put his arm around Qin Junlin's shoulder and said, "It's not that bad. I will report this to the relevant departments. Knowing your identities, how can anyone still think like this? Even if they are not enemy agents, it is still unacceptable."
While visiting everyone, Lu Zhiyuan also wanted to know about Jiang Qiao.
"If there is any need, whether it is people or things, I will do my best to help."
