Fortunately, Zhang Qian was alert and would tell the two little ones every time this happened, "Your dad has gone to save the galaxy."
The little girl Qiao Qiao is very innocent and easy to coax. She completely believed what Zhang Qian said and she especially admired her father.
But one day, the little guy didn't believe Zhang Qian's words at all and said that she was lying to children.
Yitian is too precocious and unusually calm. He inherited the military spirit from the Qiao family. He has been very serious since he was young, like a little adult.
He looks very much like a member of the Qiao family. When Mu Qiao sees Qiao Lubai in him, he always misses Qiao Lubai even more.
But five years have passed, and she has openly sent back all the news that should have been sent back, but what was supposed to come has never come.
Mu Qiao began to feel that Qiao Lubai had really sacrificed himself and she would never see him again in this life.
But she was unwilling to accept this fact.
She has been selectively blocking out anything that happens in the Qiao Gate of Yishui City.
...
...
Even if someone brought it up in front of her on purpose, she wouldn't dare to listen and would always find an excuse to run away.
Because she had heard too much about Qiao Men's misfortunes in the past few years.
The year when Qiao Lubai and Meng Qiancheng lost contact, Old Qiao died of illness, Qiao Lubai's mother became bedridden, the group was handed over to Qiao Men, and Qiao Lubai's third uncle and second brother were sacrificed.
After hearing too many tragic stories about the Qiao family, Mu Qiao no longer dared to pay attention to them.
Meng Qiancheng told her the truth about the great changes that had taken place in the Qiao family only afterwards. If she had known it earlier, she would have taken the two children back to see her great-grandfather off.
To this day, Mu Qiao still blames Meng Qiancheng.

After finishing a day's work, Mu Qiao was about to leave work when his landline rang. It was Meng Qiancheng's office number.
Meng Qiancheng called at this time. Could it be that there is news about Qiao Lubai?
Mu Qiao had some expectations in his heart, and he quickly answered the phone, asking impatiently, "Qian Cheng, is there any news about him?"
She and Meng Qiancheng have always kept in touch, and there are no more formal greetings. They always get straight to the point.
Besides, Meng Qiancheng is now her brother-in-law, so there is no need for the family to be polite.
"I heard from people in the military that a big shot came to the military a few days ago. He was very mysterious and only gave orders but was never seen." Meng Qiancheng's words sounded a bit gossipy, but actually he had more to say.
Mu Qiao heard something and asked, "What are you doubting?"
Meng Qiancheng hesitated for a while and replied, "I don't know what I suspect, but I always feel that there is a special reason why this military leader is not seeing anyone."
"What's the reason?" Mu Qiao was also a little curious.
"I can't really explain it, but I have a strong feeling that I might know this mysterious leader." Meng Qiancheng thought of something and continued, "Yesterday when I went to the military headquarters for a meeting, a document of mine was left in the conference room. When I went back to get it, a guard chased me out and said he was there to deliver the document to me."
"Is this strange?" Mu Qiao didn't think there was anything wrong.
Meng Qiancheng said, "The key point is that I have never seen this guard in the military. He should have come to the military with the mysterious leader."
"You mean that the leader personally asked the guards to deliver the missing documents to you." Mu Qiao grasped the key point.
"Yes." Meng Qiancheng wanted to say this key point.
Mu Qiao didn't think so. "Maybe the leader was watching you secretly and saw you left the documents behind. He didn't want you to make a wasted trip, so he asked the guard to help deliver the documents. That's all."
Meng Qiancheng thought about it and still felt that his feeling was not wrong, "I don't think it's a coincidence, but intentional."
Although Mu Qiao said that it was nothing, he was still doubtful in his heart.
She didn't know what she was doubting, but she had a little expectation.
In the evening, Liang Yue arrived at Mu Qiao's house on time for dinner.
It was the little boy Qiao Yitian who opened the door for him. The little guy simply said hello and went to study. He was always so cold to others.
But the beautiful girl Qiao Qiao was different. When she saw Liang Yue coming in, she jumped over happily, took the delicious food and drinks from his hands, put them on the coffee table in the living room, sat there and started making them, looking very happy.
Liang Yue stayed with Qiao Qiao for a while and then went to the kitchen.
At this moment, Mu Qiao was making braised pork in the kitchen. The aroma of the meat was so fragrant that people were drooling.
But when Liang Yue went in, Mu Qiao was staring at the braised pork in the pot in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
Liang Yue walked over and patted Mu Qiao on the shoulder.
Mu Qiao suddenly reacted, turned his head and met Liang Yue's inquiring eyes. Mu Qiao quickly smiled and explained, "Liang Tuan, you're here. Sorry, I have a lot of things to do today and I am always distracted. Dinner will be served in a moment."
Speaking of the many things going on today, Liang Yue suddenly thought of the strange phone call from the military today.
"I was also in a mess today. What surprised me most was a call from the Yishui City Military Headquarters."
Liang Yue's words successfully aroused Mu Qiao's interest.
"Why did the Yishui City Military Department call you? Are you going to get a promotion and a raise?" Mu Qiao said jokingly.
"No." Liang Yue frowned and said, "This phone call is very strange. The voice of the military leader is a little hoarse and cold. The questions he asked have nothing to do with me, but they have something to do with you."
Mu Qiao became even more curious when he heard this, and asked, "Male or female? Why are you asking me?"
"A man." Liang Yue organized his words. "He asked me if I knew you? He also asked me if I understood you? Something like that."
Mu Qiao's heart skipped a beat. Man, a leader with a hoarse voice?
Who is this?
Why did he ask Liang Yue about her?
Mu Qiao's mind unconsciously echoed the somewhat hoarse voice she heard when she was captured by Weiss nine years ago.
After thinking for a long time, her doubts turned into excitement. Could it be...
She quickly combined Meng Qiancheng's words and said, "A mysterious leader has come to the military. I feel like he is someone I know!"
Maybe, he really is back!
But why doesn't he show up now that he's back?
He was in the military and should have seen her information. Why didn't he come to find her and the child?
Could it be that they are divorced and he doesn't want to see her again?
Or maybe he had some other reason why he couldn't show up and come to see her and the child?
Another possibility is that he remarried? It's not convenient for him to come and see her and the child?
In an instant, all kinds of speculations popped up in Mu Qiao's mind.
But these speculations are just that: speculations.
She needed to confirm these suspicions.
But how to prove it?
Meng Qiancheng said that the leader was very mysterious. After arriving at the military headquarters, he only gave instructions and never met anyone.
Even Meng Qiancheng, who often goes in and out of the military, would probably find it difficult to see him.
If we can't get close to him, we won't know the real reason why he disappeared, nor can we confirm whether this leader is Qiao Lubai!
