Due to the bombing and the geographical location.
From the mont you get close to this area, there’s no signal.
Since the matter is over, Gu Yanjing plans to first return to report his safe return to Qiao Yuxian.
There’s no need for him to speak; there will be people to handle Gu Zhengyu’s affairs.
He walked back with Yan An and saw Aunt Hong waiting for them with a sniper rifle.
"Aunt Hong." Gu Yanjing glanced at the sniper rifle on her shoulder and called out to her, "You’ve co as well."
Aunt Hong smiled, still gentle and warm in her voice, "Yanjing. Since Sister An is coming, of course, I must follow."
Shang Chen looked at her, resisting but eventually couldn’t help letting his lips twitch twice.
The contrast was too big, so big that he couldn’t accept it.
He knew Aunt Hong was skilled.
But her usual gentleness, treating these young n as sons and daughters, was too deeply ingrained.
So seeing her carrying a sniper rifle, especially speaking so gently while carrying it, felt jarring to him.
Nothing felt quite right.
Actually, Gu Yanjing felt the sa way.
Since he had mories, Aunt Hong was always by his side.
His feelings were more intense, but he didn’t show it. After speaking, he glanced again at the sniper rifle on her shoulder.
Gu Zhengyu’s shot was probably fired by her.
The Yan Family people were all on M Continent.
This ti, Yan Family people also ca here and likely knew sothing in advance.
This is why Yan An and Aunt Hong could enter the base smoothly at this mont.
Gu Yanjing and the others walked outside, chatting as they went.
"Mom, how did you get here?" Gu Yanjing’s shock gradually cald down, and many questions surfaced.
Yan An’s condition has indeed been very good during this ti.
Every check-up brings good news.
But since leaving the Sixth Hospital, neither Shen Wenyan nor Shang Hao would definitely let her out.
Especially not to co to such a distant place.
Moreover, she’s been out so long...
Now that she’s in M Continent, it at least indicates she set out from Capital City fifteen hours ago.
She disappeared for so long, and he didn’t receive any news.
The biggest possibility is that the Capital City suppressed the news.
The only one who could suppress and not tell him is Qiao Yuxian.
She feared he would be distracted.
Thinking of this, Gu Yanjing wanted even more to contact Qiao Yuxian.
Not finding his mother in the Capital City, Qiao Yuxian must be very anxious.
"Surely sneaked out." Yan An said, "If I had said it straight, who would dare let out? They would surely think I was ill again."
Gu Yanjing turned his head to look at her, a smile slowly spreading from his eye corner, "Mom, when did you get better?"
"Take a guess." Yan An said.
"Last year once, Zheng Ranhuai Shu visited you together, and I saw you reading then." Gu Yanjing said, "Didn’t think much at that ti, but now I think, should be before that."
"Hmm." Yan An said, "ntal diseases are like this. Even if I tell the doctors I recovered, they still think it’s the disease acting up. However, Shen Wenyan is a good doctor. He can discern my words. Just always worried about instability, making observe longer."
"He is indeed good." Gu Yanjing said.
Yan An said, "There is no signal here, quickly go out, report safety to the Capital City, they must be very worried."
She knew they would be worried but had to be willful this ti.
Gu Zhengyu took away Yan Ting to threaten Gu Yanjing; she knew.
Among Gu Yanjing’s subordinates, many are forr elders of the Gu Family.
Also so were her trusted aides.
So she knows easily if she wants to.
Knowing, she has been planning.
Gu Zhengyu deserved death long ago.
Anyone could kill him, but the person to kill him couldn’t be Gu Yanjing.
She couldn’t let the scumbag’s blood stain her son’s hands.
Nor let her son bear the reputation of patricide.
Rumors are just rumors, no matter how they spread, they can’t harm him.
But if rumors beco fact, every ntion stabs into Gu Yanjing’s heart.
For Gu Yanjing, she couldn’t care about much else.
"Alright." Gu Yanjing agreed.
"I left a note for Yu Xian, but probably not much help." Yan An said, "She’s still sick, quickly tell her, don’t let her worry."
Yan An had just heard Gu Yanjing’s words, knowing Qiao Yuxian’s poison is alright.
Though Qiao Yuxian’s body is still weak, they’re worried about her being anxious.
They got in the car, heading back quickly.
Gu Yanjing sat in the car, holding his phone, watching the chat screen with Qiao Yuxian, waiting for a signal.
Indeed, he ca here without telling Qiao Yuxian.
There was no signal here, but he still received two ssages from Qiao Yuxian.
[Gu Yanjing, I just went to find Shi Tan. My body’s poison is different from Grandpa’s, not fatal, the body will gradually tabolize it.]
[Gu Yanjing, I don’t have to die, we don’t have to be separated.]
[Upon seeing the ssage, give a call, anyti.]
Below Qiao Yuxian’s three ssages, there’s a reply from him.
But it wasn’t sent.
His phone received the ssage half an hour after she sent it, during the bombing at the base.
There was no signal, the phone was entirely just an ornant.
He received no one’s ssages but suddenly Qiao Yuxian’s.
Seeing the ssage, he read it repeatedly.
Clearly knowing every word, but when put together, he had to read many tis to confirm it, to confirm it was indeed sent by Qiao Yuxian.
He imdiately called back, but couldn’t connect after several attempts.
Then quickly texted, but it didn’t send either.
He could imagine Qiao Yuxian’s feelings.
Also could imagine how much Qiao Yuxian needed him at that mont.
Therefore, upon seeing Gu Zhengyu, his killing intent arose.
He wanted to resolve him right away, and return quickly.
However, he’s his blood kin, once his most revered father, ultimately considered the kindness of birth and raising...
Moreover, if he really held the antidote, it would have significant research value.
Yan An saw his urgency, touched his hand back, squeezed his hand.
Gu Yanjing returned the squeeze, looking at her.
"Don’t worry, everything will be fine." Yan An said, "Call back soon, then head straight ho."
"Okay."
Finally reached the place with signal.
Gu Yanjing’s phone flooded with ssages, didn’t have ti to read, imdiately called Qiao Yuxian but didn’t connect.
He checked his phone, the signal was full.
About to make another call when Qian Laoer’s call ca in.
Gu Yanjing answered, first hearing gunfire. He frowned.
Qian Laoer imdiately said, "Mr. Gu, Yujing Manor is under attack."
He had been trying to contact Gu Yanjing, once connected, inford him quickly.
Yujing Manor was attacked, and there might be ambushes around. He worried if Gu Yanjing returned now, he’d encounter an ambush, so inford him quickly.
"We’re coming back." Gu Yanjing said, "Prioritize people’s safety, if necessary, abandon Yujing Manor and evacuate."
"Understood."
