190 Ripples (2)
After talking to Father Gu on the phone, Gu Qingming was deep in thought.
The next day, Gu Qingming borrowed a car from her brother.
However, Shi Hangyu was worried due to the previous incident.
“Sister, you’re going to the county city. I’ll drive you there!” Shi Hangyu said. “You’re pregnant now, so it’s not convenient for you to drive.”
Gu Qingming said in amusement, “Brother, driving isn’t a heavy job. Besides, I’m already at four months. I can drive on my own. You don’t have to worry!”
Hearing Gu Qingming’s words, he became even more worried.
He said, “Let me send you to the county. Anyway, the work at home is almost done.”
In any case, after the last driving incident, he had become a frightened bird.
No matter what, he could not let a pregnant woman drive.
Gu Qingming promised, “Brother, I’m only going to the county city this time, not to look for the kidnappers. I’ll be fine.”
Shi Hangyu asked with a faint smile, “Then, sister, tell me, why are you going to the county city? If you don’t need me to go with you, can you ask your sister-in-law to accompany you? In short, it’s impossible for me to agree to you driving to the county city alone. Even if you ask the rest of the family, the answer will be the same.”
Gu Qingming smiled guiltily. “Big Brother, that can’t be!”
“Of course not!” Shi Hangyu nodded seriously. “You’re now a panda that the entire family is protecting. There’s no sloppiness to speak of. Tell me, why are you driving to the county city alone? Oh, don’t say that you want to go to the county city to buy clothes or go shopping. I don’t believe you.”
Wouldn’t she invite their wives to buy clothes and shop at the mall?
Now that Gu Qingming was going to the county city alone, there must be something fishy.
Gu Qingming spread her hands and said, “Alright, I’ll tell you the truth. A friend of mine came to Pingyang County to work. I want to get together with him.”
Shi Hangyu said suspiciously, “Then I can send you there! If you’re just meeting a friend, is there a need to be so mysterious?”
At this point, he suddenly thought of a question and immediately asked, “Is your friend a man or a woman?”
It was a woman, so it was easier to explain.
If it was a man, she would need someone to accompany her. What if that man had ill intentions toward his sister? Then wouldn’t they have fallen into a trap?
“Yes, it’s a woman!” Gu Qingming said. “She’s an official! Big Brother, I’ll be fine. Let me drive the car. Big Brother, I promise you that I’m really meeting a friend. If you’re really worried, why don’t you call me and video-check me at any time?”
Last time, she had driven the car away quickly without contacting them, making them worried.
Shi Hangyu hesitated.
Gu Qingming rolled her eyes and hugged her brother’s arm. She wheedled, “Big Brother, I’m really just meeting a friend this time. Nothing will happen. Lend me the car. If you’re really worried, you can video call me in half an hour, oh, or ten minutes?”
Shi Hangyu could not stand his sister’s wheedling.
Then, he said helplessly, “Alright, I really can’t do anything to you. If you want to drive, go ahead. Be careful on the way!”
With that, she handed the car keys to Gu Qingming.
However, before Gu Qingming drove away, Shi Hangyu instructed, “Sister, drive carefully. Drive slower.”
“Got it, brother!”
Then, Gu Qingming drove away.
After Gu Qingming left, her grandmother came in from outside. When she saw Shi Hangyu standing in the courtyard, she asked in confusion, “What are you looking at?”
Shi Hangyu said, “Sister said that she was going to the county city and drove the car away alone!”
When Grandma heard this, she immediately scolded loudly, “You brat, why are you letting your sister drive the car again?”
Shi Hangyu said, “Grandma, she’s only going to the county city.”
“If your sister is going to the county city, can’t you send her there?” Grandma said anxiously. “It’s too dangerous for your sister to go out alone now. She’s unfamiliar with the place and your sister is beautiful like a fairy. It’s dangerous wherever she goes. Also, have you forgotten about Liu Tiancheng?”
When Shi Hangyu heard his grandmother’s words, he immediately became anxious.
He cursed, “F*ck, I actually forgot about Liu Tiancheng!”
Their impression of Liu Tiancheng was limited to the big boss who bought watermelons.
However, he was completely dumbfounded by Liu Tiancheng’s other background.
He had not heard any news about Liu Tiancheng for a long time and had already forgotten about him.
“You brat, how could you forget such a dangerous person? Do you care about your sister’s safety?!”
When Grandma heard her eldest grandson’s words, she was so angry that she went forward and pinched his ear. “You’ve learned your lesson once, but you still don’t know how to learn. How can you be so stupid?”
Shi Hangyu said innocently, “How could I not take my sister to heart? I dote on my sister the most.” He could not stand his sister’s wheedling the most, so he softened his heart and let Gu Qingming drive the car away.
“Grandma, be gentle. I’ll get Tingyun to drive now. We’ll follow her.” Shi Hangyu hurriedly tried to salvage the situation. “Grandma, if you continue hitting me, she’ll be long gone.”
Grandma immediately stopped what she was doing and said, “Then hurry up and go. You have to protect your sister well. Otherwise, you’ll be eating dirt!”
“Yes, yes, Grandma!”
Shi Hangyu immediately called his second brother, Shi Yuxin. After four to five minutes, Shi Yuxin ran back covered in mud.
He quickly washed his hands and feet and said, “Brother, my car keys are hanging by the door. Go and get them. I’ll come out after changing.”
After the brothers drove, Shi Hangyu immediately called Gu Qingming.
Gu Qingming said that she had just arrived at Shahe Town.
The two of them sped up.
Li Hongmei was guarding near the Shi family’s house when she saw a small car drive out. She noticed that the person in the car was Gu Qingming.
She immediately called and said carefully, “Brother Liu, Gu Qingming just drove a car out. I don’t know where shes going. The license plate number is…”
But no matter where she went, Gu Qingming would definitely pass by Shahe Town.
She gave him the license plate number.
However, when she thought of the mission Brother Liu had given her, Li Hongmei tightened her grip on her phone.
Then, she took a deep breath and said, “Fortune comes from danger! Gu Qingming, don’t blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for offending someone you shouldn’t have! Hmph!”
After Gu Qingming drove the car to town, she realized that there were three cars surrounding her.
What was going on?
“Little Kong, can you notice the aura in the car?” Gu Qingming communicated with Kong Xingfan.
However, she immediately let Little Kong out.
As soon as Little Kong came out, it said excitedly, “Master, Master, it’s… it’s him!”
