Chapter 569: Chapter 569: Thoughts at the Bottom of the Heart

At the dinner party, the atmosphere was basically very harmonious.

Lin Qinghuan was simply chatting with Qin Lang’s youngest daughter.

Sometimes, she would also exchange a few words with Qin Yize, appearing as if everything was quite normal.

And so, the dinner concluded in a somewhat bland manner.

After Luh Fei arrived, Qin Yize said his goodbyes to Qin Lang and Lin Fanpeng.

Luh Fei drove off, taking Qin Yize away from the neighborhood.

This dinner actually felt a bit inexplicable.

Still, Qin Yize felt that there was something off about Lin Fanpeng.

How could he have started doing business with his second uncle?

If it were a legitimate business that would be fine, but if it was something improper, was he trying to drag his own second uncle into trouble?

However, it also seemed highly improbable.

If he were involved in improper dealings, his current son-in-law was serving in the military department; wouldn’t he consider the future of his daughter and son-in-law?

As cunning as that old fox was, he wouldn’t make a move that would give others leverage over him.

By this time, the moon was high in the sky.

Some matters needed to be expedited.

At this time, Qin Yize really wanted to visit Gu Qiaoqiao’s school.

But after looking at his watch, he realized that the dormitories at the art school must have already turned off their lights, so he discarded the idea and went back to the Qin Family home with Luh Fei,

Luh Fei did not return home but stayed over at the Qin Family residence.

The next day, Qin Yize was waiting at Gu Qiaoqiao’s school gate bright and early.

When he was at the base, due to his busy official duties, sometimes there wasn’t time to dwell on familial affections.

But when he was alone at home, upon seeing the empty house, he felt as though he had never been this lonely before.

And he had never felt such a strong longing to see Gu Qiaoqiao.

Just one night apart, and he was already growing impatient.

Therefore, he took the day off and arrived at the school early.

There was still some time before school let out.

But today was a half-day, as classes would end early.

Because starting tomorrow would be the seasonal holidays.

In this era, the holidays for National Day and Labor Day were referred to as “seasonal holidays.”

About half a month.

That half-month should be enough time for him and Gu Qiaoqiao to make the round trip to Xinjiang.

He wasn’t exactly sure what Gu Qiaoqiao was heading to Xinjiang for.

Qiaoqiao hadn’t told him.

But unless there was a special mission, he was definitely going to accompany her.

Because Gu Qiaoqiao’s surroundings couldn’t be said to be safe.

Those coveting the Gu Family wouldn’t give up until they were completely disheartened, and many things could happen.

This was something he couldn’t afford not to guard against.

And now, the many pieces of evidence in his hands pointed to Ning Wanru’s involvement in every misfortune that befell the Gu Family, though at the moment there was a lack of compelling evidence.

And if this was indeed true, it would mean that they were dealing with a premeditated, organized crime group.

Otherwise, things wouldn’t be so intricately connected, sometimes even leaving no trace, which was a terrifying matter.

Furthermore, it definitely wasn’t something Ning Wanru and Gu Cheng, mother and son, could achieve on their own.

As Qin Yize worried and speculated, he also felt somewhat anxious.

But the school gates were closed.

Even if Qin Yize wanted to go in, he couldn’t.

He considered himself very patient, but today, every minute seemed especially hard to endure.

He didn’t understand why he was suddenly feeling this way.

He himself found it somewhat inexplicable.

So Qin Yize took a deep breath to suppress the strange feelings welling up inside.

As he eagerly awaited, he finally saw students gradually coming out of the school gate.
