"If you two uncles have a better way, you can say it, provided that she doesn't marry someone else, doesn't randomly find a father for the child, doesn't marry into the Gong family while pregnant, and doesn't marry into the Gong family after giving birth!"
Gong Changfan was troubled by not being able to do it three times in a row.
Because no matter which one you "can't" do, it's very difficult to do.
So what should we do?
Gong Changhong was still reluctant to let Gong Chengjue take the risk. "There must be other ways." There must be.
People in peacetime simply cannot imagine the risk of losing their lives; it's not just a figure of speech. The places he's going to are places where he could really lose his life, and there's a very high probability of that.
Gong Changfan nodded, "Yes, there must be other ways."
Gong Chengjue remained silent, so he waited for them to come up with other solutions.
Time is slipping away little by little, are there any other options?
Really... no.
Gong Chengjue seemed to have nothing else to do, and waited quietly and patiently.
The servants in the Gong family didn't dare to make a sound while doing their work; they were all very quiet when adding tea.
As for dinner... who's in the mood for dinner right now?
Finally, the housekeeper boldly asked if they wanted to have dinner first, and Gong Changfan said yes, let's have dinner first.
A little buffer time is a good thing.
Gong Changhong had no appetite at all. The Gong family had many members, but there were not many who could shoulder the responsibility of ensuring the continued prosperity of the Gong family.
Furthermore, he has always doted on Gong Chengjue, treating him like his own son. Now, he's about to personally agree to let Gong Chengjue go to such a dangerous place. What if, what if something really happens...
Moreover, there is another point he needs to consider: what about the international assassination order in that no-man's-land?
Didn't they become even more arrogant?
He voiced his concerns, hoping to dispel Gong Chengjue's obsession, but Gong Chengjue replied, "That kill order will be invalid for a month."
"What do you mean? It can still be invalid?" Gong Changfan didn't understand and looked at Gong Chengjue.
Gong Chengjue nodded, "It can't be said to be ineffective, let's call it a buffer."
"Can it be invalid for a month, but not permanently? Chengjue, who is it that has such great influence that our Gong family is willing to pay double the price..."
"Uncle, you know this isn't about money," Gong Chengjue said calmly, though he didn't mention that Feng Xixuan could grant the kill order a one-month grace period.
Gong Changhong sighed, "Do you really have to go?"
Gong Chengjue nodded.
“Okay,” Gong Changhong agreed.
"Third Brother!" Gong Changfan wanted to struggle a little longer; he didn't want to give up!
If something really happens to Gong Chengjue, how can he face the deceased old man? If the Gong family declines in the future, he will truly become a sinner of the family.
Gong Changhong didn't try to persuade Gong Changfan to sign as well; he simply asked, "Do you have a better idea?"
When Gong Chengjue mentioned this, they were thinking about whether there was a better way, but there wasn't, so they could only grant Gong Chengjue's wish.
Gong Changfan lowered his head and ate. He didn't want to talk anymore. He was really not doing a good job as the head of the family.
Suddenly, he thought of something, "I'll go."
"Uncle." Gong Chengjue didn't want to discourage Gong Changfan or belittle him, but he still had to say, "You're not good enough as a target."
"You brat, how dare you insult the patriarch!" Gong Changfan glared at him, but he wasn't really angry.
Gong Changhong chuckled, and the tense atmosphere finally eased a bit. He looked at Gong Chengjue and said, "I'll arrange the people around you. I'll have elite special forces protect you."
"Does Second Uncle not trust the skills of the bodyguard I chose?" Gong Chengjue did not give a direct answer.
Gong Changhong, however, did not mean to discuss it. "I know your bodyguards are very skilled, but no matter how skilled they are, they lack practical experience. You don't know what kind of people will appear in the place you are going to this time. Ordinary bodyguards cannot guarantee your safety."
Gong Changfan nodded in agreement, "Yes, you have no objection to this. Your second uncle will select elite special forces personnel to serve as bodyguards."
Gong Chengjue thought for a moment and nodded. Everyone knew that Gong Changhong was a soldier, so it was normal for him to be able to mobilize a few elite special forces soldiers to serve as bodyguards for a period of time.
With Gong Chengjue's approval, the matter was considered settled.
Dinner can now be enjoyed in harmony.
………………………
Despite suffering from severe morning sickness, everything else went more smoothly for Su Ziqing than ever before.
It seemed as if they were deliberately being considerate of her; no one bothered her or caused any trouble.
After sending her porridge half a month ago, Gong Chengjue resumed his behavior of not having any connection with her and stopped contacting her.
After so many days of anxiety, just when she was about to make his next move, it just... turned out like this?
Feng Xixuan disappeared almost simultaneously with Gong Chengjue; he couldn't be reached by phone and didn't reply to WeChat messages.
Su Ziqing felt as if something had happened, yet it seemed normal that they weren't contacting her.
The longest she'd gone without contacting Feng Xixuan was probably three months? Or even longer? She herself had forgotten.
As for Gong Chengjue, perhaps he has already wisely listened to her and will no longer bother her.
But why did she feel uneasy?
And my eyelid keeps twitching...
After several days of twitching eyelids, Su Ziqing found the company unusually quiet on her way back to the office after her routine meeting.
It was unusually quiet.
She usually goes to the conference room for meetings and then goes back to her office in the same way. Although the employees usually keep their voices down, they don't act like they're playing dumb like they did today.
Su Ziqing felt that after becoming pregnant, not only her sense of taste and smell became more sensitive, but even this kind of perception became more acute. She called her secretary into the office.
"Miss Su." The secretary entered the office and brought Su Ziqing a glass of water at a comfortable temperature.
Su Ziqing's pregnancy symptoms were so severe that it was almost impossible to hide them, but no one would be foolish enough to ask her about her pregnancy.
She's the chairperson!
"Did something happen at the company?" Su Ziqing took a sip of water and then put it down.
She's so uncomfortable now that she can't even drink a little water.
The secretary's heart skipped a beat—here he comes! She really didn't want to be the bad guy...
"No, nothing happened." Nothing had happened at the company, the secretary wasn't lying, but her tone—saying nothing happened? Nobody believed her.
Su Ziqing had only glanced at her casually and asked the question offhand, but now that the secretary had reacted this way, she looked at the secretary seriously.
"So what's going on outside?" She tapped her hand lightly on the desk. "Tell me, what gossip is going on outside? About me?"
