Chapter 317: Secretly Returning to the Country
[This stone wall is arranged in a very regular pattern.]
【Why are they all prismatic?】
It looks like an accordion to me.
Are you sure it wasn't carved or spliced together by humans?
…
Chu Qiao shook his head and pointed at the natural cracks in the stone: "This stone wall doesn't look like anyone has carved it."
This is the product of the contraction of volcanic rock during its cooling and solidification process when it encounters seawater. It is a trace left by nature."
The gloomy sky gradually cleared up, accompanied by the sea breeze, the black sand and white waves formed a strong contrast under the sunlight, and the organ rock cliffs on the side stood there silently, as if silently guarding this piece of black pure land.
From a distance, there is no longer the sense of terror that I felt when I first saw it. Instead, I feel that there is an exceptionally unique and beautiful seaside scenery here.
Night gradually fell, the blackness of the beach merged with the night, the surroundings became colder and colder, and Chu Qiao trembled.
No, I have to go back, otherwise those people will worry.
Chu Qiao stood up and walked back. From a distance, he saw only one house with lights on, and laughter could be heard from inside from time to time.
Chu Qiao raised the corner of his mouth, it seemed that he had missed the lively atmosphere.
Chu Qiao walked around the sheep pen and came to Tota's house.
The door creaked open, and several people were singing and dancing with Tota, performing the local dance.
Tota's cheeks were red from drinking, and Huang Li, the only one among the three who could drink, was drunk and was staggering.
Chu Qiao laughed and said, "It's so lively, did you forget about me?"
"If you don't come back, we will really go looking for you." Director Xiao joked.
After three rounds of drinks, Chu Qiao didn't drink a drop of alcohol. She was always very cautious in a stranger's home.
On the other side of the table, Director Xiao and Xiao Wang seem to be discussing something?
"Director Xiao, will it be dangerous if we leave tomorrow? I think we should stay in Bing Country for two more days, just in case something goes wrong along the way..."
Director Xiao looked at Xiao Wang and said, "Boy, you are not happy here anymore and don't want to go back, are you?"
Xiao Wang laughed: "How could that be, Director, I... don't have any."
Chu Qiao walked over and pulled a cushion to sit down: "I think this place is pretty good, why don't you go back first?"
Xiao Wang's eyes suddenly lit up: "If Chu Qiao likes it here, you can stay for two more days."
Chu Qiao remained calm: "Alright, I've already completed this mission. I'm a free man anyway, so I can stay a few more days."
"You'd better come back with me. I brought you out here, and I can't feel at ease until I bring you back." Director Xiao frowned, wondering what was worth Chu Qiao's nostalgia for in this place full of dangers.
"Director Xiao, you've forgotten that my main job is survival. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Director Xiao didn't say anything, but his face showed disapproval.
As he was speaking, Tota came in with a roasted lamb in his hand. The lamb was roasted brown all over and the oil dripped onto the table.
"eat……"
Tota's eyes and cheeks were red, and Chu Qiao looked at his expression and condition.
I'm really drunk. It seems it's safe here tonight.
Chu Qiao was infected by Tota's enthusiasm. He pulled off a leg of lamb and started to eat it without any hesitation.
"Let's eat together."
Tota wiped the oil off his hands and took the lamb leg.
After a good night's sleep, Chu Qiao was woken up by the bleating of sheep in the sheep pen in the morning.
The helicopter that Director Xiao contacted in the morning arrived in the afternoon.
Chu Qiao and his group were sent on the plane.
"You guys go back and take good care of yourself. I'll stay for a few more days and then go back."
Chu Qiao clearly saw Xiao Wang breathe a sigh of relief.
Relaxed? Was it because I had been delayed for a few days?
Director Xiao tried to persuade him to leave until the end, but Chu Qiao refused.
The helicopter disappeared into the endless sky.
Chu Qiao turned around, the corner of his mouth raised, entered the live broadcast system, and sent a private message to Chen Ao: "Sister Ao, have you arranged it?"
Chen Ao: "It's been arranged a long time ago. I'll be there in two hours."
"Sister Ao is still reliable."
"Don't think you can fool me with this. Why don't you take the TV station's helicopter?"
Chu Qiao: "It's hard to say right now."
"Are you hiding something dangerous from me?" Chen Ao was a little excited. She was worried that Chu Qiao would do something dangerous.
"Don't worry, there's no danger."
When Chu Qiao said this, Chen Ao's face fell:
"Forget it, I won't ask anymore. Just be careful. You always scare us."
Chu Qiao knew that Sister Ao cared about her: "Don't worry, I won't be polite to you."
Half an hour later, a Coke Entertainment helicopter landed on the beach, and Chu Qiao and Tota said goodbye.
Board the plane and depart.
Feng Ge and Lu Zhan were entrusted by Sister Ao to quietly come to the airport to pick up Chu Qiao. Seeing that Chu Qiao had lost a lot of weight, Feng Ge felt very distressed: "Come on, let's go, I'll take you to eat something delicious."
"Not yet. I have other things to do. Also, my return must be kept secret. I can't tell anyone, not even any fans."
Even when Lu Zhan wanted to take her back for a physical examination, Chu Qiao refused.
Chu Qiao immediately contacted Officer Zhao, and the two agreed to meet on a sparsely populated hilltop.
"Officer Zhao, here."
Officer Zhao seemed to have aged several years recently, and his tone was tired: "You are finally back. We were worried that something might happen to you over there."
Chu Qiao nodded: "Don't tell anyone about my return. Except for those very close to me, everyone else has been kept in the dark by me. But you, what's wrong? You don't look well."
"It's all because of you, kid. I've been investigating the files until I vomited blood."
"What file?"
"Xiao Wang, I checked. Xiao Wang suddenly received 8 million a week ago."
"8 million, did he pay off the mortgage?"
Officer Zhao's eyes widened: "How did you know?"
Chu Qiao raised his eyebrows and said, "I probably knew the situation when I was in Iceland."
"Great." Officer Zhao gave a thumbs-up. "Then, should we ask him to cooperate with the investigation and inquire about the situation?"
"No need." Chu Qiao shook his head. "He was just short of money, so he accepted ill-gotten gains and played a role in fueling the flames. He probably doesn't know about other internal situations."
"Catching him would only alert the enemy further."
Officer Zhao nodded: "You're right. Now, about your return..."
"Since they're trying to take advantage of this and try to keep me there for a few more days, I'll just go along with it and see why they're sending me away."
"But there haven't been any major events in society lately." Officer Zhao tilted his head in thought and said nonchalantly, "If there is anything, it's what I told you last time about the recent leadership change."
"Re-election? It shouldn't have anything to do with this." Chu Qiao frowned.
Officer Zhao: "No, not necessarily. After all, you are one of the voters. If the other party holds you back, your vote will be invalidated."
"How is that possible? I don't know any of the candidates. If I go, I will vote fairly and I won't lean towards anyone. The bosses definitely have nothing to do with this."
