Gu Nanxun parked the car in front of the post office, and the three of them quickly walked inside. Lin Qing's heart was pounding. She didn't know why her father, Lin Jianguo, had suddenly sent a telegram urging her to call back immediately. She was filled with unease.
Seeing their hurried appearance, the post office staff immediately approached them and asked what assistance they needed. Lin Qing explained the situation, and the staff quickly connected them to the phone.
"Beep beep..."
The phone had barely rung when it was answered. Lin Jianguo's anxious voice came through the other end: "Qingqing, is that you, Qingqing?"
"Dad, it's me. What happened? Why did you suddenly send a telegram?" Lin Qing asked anxiously.
"Qingqing, is Nanxun here?" Lin Jianguo's voice was tinged with excitement.
Lin Qing turned to look at Gu Nanxun, then said to Lin Jianguo, "Dad, Brother Nanxun is right here. I'll give him the phone."
After saying that, Lin Qing handed the phone to Gu Nanxun, who was standing next to her. Gu Nanxun's heart sank when he saw that Lin Jianguo was looking for him.
Gu Nanxun answered the phone and said to Lin Jianguo on the other end, "Dad, this is Nanxun. What's wrong?"
"Nanxun, do you know anyone in Tibet? Or do your family members know anyone in Tibet?"
Lin Jianguo said anxiously on the other end of the phone.
Upon hearing this, Gu Nanxun glanced at Lin Qing and then continued to ask, "Dad, what happened?"
"It's your older brother Hongzhi. Your sister-in-law sent word that he went missing while on a mission over there. I wanted to ask if you know anyone there who could help look for him!"
Lin Jianguo wiped the sweat from his forehead and said anxiously that he was really out of options and Gu Nanxun was his last straw.
Upon hearing this, Gu Nanxun's expression turned serious; he realized the gravity of the situation.
"Dad, don't worry, I'll find someone to help look for him. When did he go missing?"
Upon hearing Gu Nanxun's words, Lin Qing became nervous. He reached out and gripped Gu Nanxun's arm tightly, biting his lower lip and staring at Gu Nanxun with a tense expression.
Gu Nanxun patted Lin Qing's arm reassuringly.
“I heard from your sister-in-law that he has been missing for a week. They had been keeping it from her, but after searching for a week without success, they finally notified her.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Nanxun instantly felt that things had become tricky. He glanced at Lin Qing and then said to Lin Jianguo, "Dad, don't worry. I'll set off first thing tomorrow morning and go find him myself. Don't worry, I will definitely bring my brother back."
Lin Jianguo relaxed slightly upon hearing this, then said nervously, "Nanxun, you must be careful. If things get really bad, you have to take care of yourself."
"Okay, Dad, I understand. Don't worry! I'll take care of myself, and I'll try my best to bring my older brother back."
After saying that, Gu Nanxun hung up the phone and then said to Lin Qing and Lin Yunfeng, "My sister-in-law sent word that my brother went missing while on a mission and has been missing for a week."
After Gu Nanxun finished speaking, he said to Lin Qing, "Qingqing, I'm worried. I'll leave today! I'll drive there directly."
Gu Nanxun's car was provided by the state two years ago. Two years ago, Gu Nanxun was promoted to chief instructor of the action department, and the people he trained made great contributions on numerous occasions. Therefore, the state made a special exception and provided him with a car.
“Brother Nanxun, I’ll go with you! Let’s go back to the brigade first to get the certificate, and then we’ll set off right away.”
As Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun got into the car and drove towards the Chaoyang Brigade, she said to Gu Nanxun.
Gu Nanxun thought for a moment, then nodded.
Seeing this, Lin Yunfeng hurriedly said anxiously, "Nanxun, sister, I'll go with you too!"
Gu Nanxun shook his head, then said to Lin Yunfeng, "Third Brother, stay here! There are some things that are inconvenient if you go. It's better for you to stay, and besides, the children need your help taking care of them!"
Seeing this, Lin Yunfeng thought for a moment, then nodded, "Nanxun, sister, you must be careful."
"Third Brother, don't worry! I'll take good care of Qingqing!"
Gu Nanxun assured him.
Seeing this, Lin Yunfeng reached out and patted Gu Nanxun on the shoulder, then said earnestly, "Nanxun, I'm entrusting my brother to you, and my sister too."
Gu Nanxun nodded seriously, "Third brother, you're too kind. Eldest brother is also my eldest brother."
The three returned home. Gu Nanxun went directly to the brigade leader's house to get a medical certificate, while Lin Qing went straight into her house.
"Mom, something happened to my older brother. Nanxun and I will be going there soon. We'll need you to take care of the kids while we're gone."
As soon as Lin Qing entered the house, she spoke to Zhao Xuan.
"What happened? Are you alright? Should we call your dad?"
Zhao Xuan was making clothes for the child when she heard Lin Qing's words. She immediately put down the clothes and stood up, looking anxious.
Lin Qing shook her head and said, "My older brother has gone missing over there. Nanxun and I are going to look for him. We don't need Dad for now! We'll call if we need him."
"Okay, I understand. You two be careful. Don't worry about the child! I'll take good care of him."
Zhao Xuan reached out and hugged Lin Qing, then said with a smile.
Lin Qing also reached out and hugged Zhao Xuan, "Mom, thank you!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuan reached out and patted Lin Qing on the shoulder: "Silly child, what are you saying! Go pack your luggage! I'll go to the kitchen to prepare some dry food for you."
