Chapter 274 - Embarrassed

But they never thought of it.

Neither did Gu Qingjiu.

And as for the Chief Instructor who was in no way related to this incident to interfere to such an extent...

What Gu Qingjiu didn’t know was that ever since he saved her the previous time, he had been paying close attention to the Yu family.

Yu family’s scheme this time was as transparent as glass in front of He Niancheng.

Three weeks ago, He Niancheng had already found Hu Yan’s whereabouts when he escaped overseas to hide.

Else, he wouldn’t be able to bring him in within a single day. Even if He Niancheng could do it, the journey didn’t allow it.

But naturally, he wouldn’t tell these things to Gu Qingjiu.

Gu Qingjiu watched Gu Hong come back home. His usually refined face was etched with fatigue.

Strands of white hair could be seen on his originally full head of black hair.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Causing people’s hearts to ache upon seeing it.

She didn’t know how he had held up in the holding cell for the past ten hours, where he was probably cold and hungry.

“Dad, is Hu Yan under investigation at the police station?”

Once both of them had settled down, Gu Qingjiu asked.

Mr. Gu nodded but his eyes showed his confusion. “I don’t even know who caught Hu Yan. The police didn’t tell me the specifics. They just said that someone helped.”

Oh, Gu Hong still didn’t know that it was He Niancheng who had helped them out.

Gu Qingjiu only told her mother after all.

“It was the Chief Instructor.”

Gu Qingjiu didn’t intend to conceal He Niancheng’s efforts.

“Your Chief Instructor?”

Gu Hong fell into deep contemplation. After a while, he sighed. “Qingjiu, that Chief Instructor is our benefactor!”

If Hu Yan was not captured, Gu Hong’s future would be thoroughly ruined.

“I know Dad.”

There was no need to explain the gratitude she felt for the Chief Instructor. She went up to comfort. “Dad, you probably didn’t get to rest properly last night. Go in and rest. Mom didn’t get to rest yesterday night so she’s resting now. Mom said to wait for you to get back before getting me to invite the Chief Instructor to Gu Yu Hotel for a meal to thank him for saving us this time.”

Mr. Gu nodded approvingly. “Your mom is right, we have to ask him. Such a big favor cannot be repaid with just a meal, but you can leave the rest to your father.”

Mr. Gu was a manager of a company. He was good at human relations. It was evident especially through this incident when people were still willing to believe in him despite the extenuating circumstances.

Getting him to settle these matters was the best choice.

Gu Qingjiu nodded. “Okay. Go in and rest. I will give the Chief Instructor a call.”

Gu Hong walked into the bedroom. Gu Qingjiu heard Qi Yuefeng’s voice excitedly calling out, “Dear!”

Followed by Gu Hong’s hushed tone comforting her.

Gu Qingjiu couldn’t help the slight uplift of her lips when she heard that.

The incident happened so suddenly that one couldn’t defend themselves from it. But with the Chief Instructor’s help, it was promptly resolved.

With Hu Yan arrested, if the Yu family was truly the mastermind behind this scheme, they would definitely plan their next steps carefully.

No matter how strong the Yu family was, they wouldn’t dare to do this time after time.

Furthermore, nowadays, these noble families had the need to conduct these affairs in silence and watch out for netizens who would gladly involve themselves with such gossip.

If it wasn’t a critical moment, Gu Qingjiu wouldn’t make this incident big by posting it online.

She retrieved her cell phone from her pocket. After long contemplation, she finally decided to give him a call.

Sending a text always felt too informal.

But the Chief Instructor just returned to the camp this morning, and she would end up disturbing him with her phone call in the afternoon. Gu Qingjiu felt a little embarrassed doing it.
