Chapter 122 -122: I Found a Kind of Stone on the Banks of the Dongjiang

And just at that moment, the telephone in the next room began to ring.

After taking the Wolf’s Fang out of the basin, Gu Qiaoqiao hurried to answer the phone.

Because at that moment, she was the only one at home in the Gu Family.

Gu Qiaoqiao picked up the phone and as usual, asked, “Hello, who is this?”

“It’s me…”

A voice filled with magnetism that seemed capable of bewitching someone came through the phone.

...

It was Qin Yize.

Ever since the incident with her father, Qin Yize had not called again after that call.

“Oh…” Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t know what to say for a moment, she just murmured a response and then, feeling that her “Oh” was somewhat impolite, she softly asked, “You’re not busy anymore?”

“Yeah, I just finished,” Qin Yize’s voice was still light and indifferent, but inexplicably soft, he continued, “I just got off the phone with Zhou Xing.”

“Did Big Brother Zhou tell you everything, including about those two fake officers?” Gu Qiaoqiao quickly asked.

“He did,” Qin Yize’s voice was cold, “This matter is very strange, but one thing is certain, either at the county or in the city area, there are accomplices of those two fake officers.”

“Really?” Gu Qiaoqiao was startled.

“That’s my guess.”

“Is my family still in danger?” she asked, her voice not raised but laced with worry.

“No,” Qin Yize said sternly, “They won’t take any action for now, because the police stations in the city area, the county, and Stone Town are all waiting for them to make a move.”

Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart slightly settled down, and after thinking for a bit, she directly asked, “Qin Yize, do you think it was a woman who likes you behind this?”

There seemed to be a pause on the other end of the phone, and through the phone line, it was almost possible to see Qin Yize furrowing his brows.

Gu Qiaoqiao quickly explained, “I don’t mean anything by it, it’s just one of many possibilities, and I don’t have enough reason to be sure.”

“Your suspicion is normal. If I were you, I would think the same,” Qin Yize unexpectedly said.

Gu Qiaoqiao bit her lip, somewhat embarrassed, “I just blurted out what I was thinking.”

“Sun Chuxia knows me, but she doesn’t really know me, and she doesn’t get along well with the Sun family in the Imperial Capital. Sun Yingke despises her the most, and the Sun family in the Imperial Capital doesn’t want to deal with this matter, and as of now, there has been no movement.”

Does he mean that Sun Chuxia’s actions have nothing to do with Sun Yingke and the others?

Gu Qiaoqiao also felt that her question was abrupt, so she changed the subject, “Will Sun Chuxia be sentenced?”

“Her attitude towards confession is very good, and she turned herself in voluntarily, so that will definitely be taken into consideration in her sentencing.”

“They couldn’t get anything out of her about the person behind the scenes?” Gu Qiaoqiao asked.

“She’s very tight-lipped, impossible to pry open. And what’s important is that she truly knew nothing about those two fake officers.”

Gu Qiaoqiao looked down at the Wolf’s Fang in her hand, reflecting a cold light, yes, it’s not that easy.

In her last life, until the day she died, she never knew that the series of accidents involving her and her family were not accidents at all, but were orchestrated.

Now, perhaps that same person has reemerged.

But in this vast sea of people, who could that person be?

Thinking of this made Gu Qiaoqiao shiver, what should she do?

She felt somewhat helpless.

“So is this matter just going to be left as it is?” Gu Qiaoqiao asked as if she were in a trance.

Qin Yize was taken aback, his heart softened, and he spoke with a gentler tone, “Gu Qiaoqiao, don’t worry, you have to trust Zhou Xing, he will definitely find those two fake officers, and then everything will come to light naturally.”

“But how long will that take?”

“It won’t be very long,” Qin Yize’s voice inexplicably carried a soothing strength.

“But, what are those people after exactly?” Gu Qiaoqiao asked, puzzled.

“It’s still unclear,” Qin Yize responded calmly. “Actually, if they were targeting you and me, it would be simpler.”

Gu Qiaoqiao understood.

Indeed, if it was really about jealousy and rivalry, it would not be so complicated.

It was truly simple.

Those people from Imperial Capital were still easy to investigate.

But, Sun Chuxia had never had any contact with people from the Bai Family or the Qin Family, not to mention the secluded Sun family.

“So what do we do later?” Gu Qiaoqiao asked.

“It will be the same as before, don’t worry, didn’t I just tell you? There won’t be any problem. The police are just waiting for them to make a move, and that security alliance group was also established for this matter,” Qin Yize reassured somberly.

“Mmh, I saw that, the public safety in Stone Town has improved a lot recently.”

After a soft hum from the other end, the question followed, “What are you doing?”

Gu Qiaoqiao glanced at the Wolf’s Fang in her hand. She originally intended to tell him that she was planning to carve it for him, but instead she changed her response to, “Nothing much.”

There was a moment of silence from the other end, and then a cool voice floated over leisurely.

“I’m at the base, the family quarters are already built. We’ve been assigned one. It has a large courtyard, the house has a heater, and a warm, heated bed.”

“Oh…” Gu Qiaoqiao responded, then didn’t know what else to say.

The other end seemed not to notice Gu Qiaoqiao’s distraction and continued, “…The Da Jiang river has thawed, and yesterday we caught a lot of Kaijiang Fish. The taste was really good.”

Gu Qiaoqiao knew the Kaijiang Fish from Border City was incredibly delicious.

In her past life, Qin Yize made her fish soup several times, and without doubt, cold-water fish was delicious.

So delicious she could almost swallow her tongue.

But why did he have to tell her this?

Was he trying to make her crave it?

Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t know what to say.

She hadn’t planned on going, so what did the assigned house and Kaijiang Fish have to do with her?

On the phone, Qin Yize’s voice remained as fresh as spring water, “… while catching the Kaijiang Fish, I found a type of stone on the shores of Dongjiang…”

“A stone?” Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart skipped a beat as she urgently asked, “What kind of stone?”

Some memories seemed to revive in that moment, and Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly felt she had forgotten something very important.

“It’s a type of stone similar to jade, but it has some differences from jade. The colors are amber and green; in the sunlight, it has a faint luster.”

“Are there many of these stones?” Gu Qiaoqiao, gripping the phone so tightly her palms were sweating, asked with a slight urgency.

“Not many, they probably surged up from a section of the riverbed when the river thawed. There are a total of twelve pieces.”

“Can those stones be picked up just like that?”

“Of course, they can be picked up freely.”

“Qin Yize, pick them up and bring them back. I have a use for them; maybe I can carve something from them.”

Gu Qiaoqiao felt as if her breath was almost igniting.
