It was probably very difficult for Mo Beihan to rescue Jiang Yiru and Old Master Qin out safely without harm given their backgrounds.
But it might still be possible for him to find ways to control where they were sent to.
If he could get them to the Qing River Brigade, she could return to her hometown and take care of them.
The captain of Qing River Brigade, Wang Mingtao, had been protecting the Gu family in secret all this while. Instead of leaving the two elderlies here to fear and worry about being caught, it was better to let them spend a few years in Qing River Brigade and quietly wait for the next few years to pass.
Mo Beihan and Gu Jinlin exchanged a look and the few of them sat down in the living room.
Mo Beihan said, “I think this way too and I’m discussing it with your brother and Third Uncle! I reckon it’s hard to get them out and the risk is too huge. In comparison, it might be easier to get them to the South Lake Brigade or Qing River Brigade.”
Mo Beihan comforted her, “All right, don’t worry already. We have already looked for someone and they should be alright tonight. Let’s make a trip again tomorrow and try to send them to Qing River Brigade, all right?”
Looking at the signs of fatigue on their faces, Gu Qingyao knew that they were out the entire afternoon and were exhausted.
She replied, “I got it. I am just too worried. You all are hungry already, right? I’ve already cooked the dishes. Let’s eat first!”
Ji Mingzhe replied, “That’s right. The incident has already happened. Let’s eat first and look for help tomorrow! My Ji family knows some people regarding such issues. We can work hard again tomorrow and we should be able to send them to wherever we want.”
Then, he looked at Gu Qingyao and smiled. “It’s unexpected that Grand Jiang actually would take you as her disciple.”
Gu Qingyao froze.
Ji Mingzhe smiled. “My grandfather is on friendly terms with the Jiang family. When Grandmother Jiang was in poor health, my grandfather had always been the one treating her. Now that Grandmother Jiang and Grandfather Qin are in trouble, we would definitely help.”
Gu Qingyao never thought that the Ji family was related to them too.
But it was a good thing.
Gu Qingyao brought the dishes out. They discussed while eating until late.
Mo Beihan looked at Gu Qingyao and said, “Go and sleep first. You can just stay here tonight. Your brother will be staying overnight as well.”
Gu Qingyao did not move.
Mo Beihan added, “Listen to me. We still have some matters to discuss. If we are successful, the two elderlies will probably reach the Qing River Brigade within these two days. They are so old already and they’re injured as well. When they arrive, they will probably be very weak. You have to rest well and return to take care of them.”
Both Gu Jinlin and Gu Yundong told Gu Qingyao to sleep too. Gu Qingyao looked at them. She could not fall asleep and wished to listen to their discussion but she still nodded obediently and went to rest in her room.
Mo Beihan and the others discussed until midnight. Afterward, Gu Yundong and Ji Mingzhe left together.
Mo Beihan and Gu Jinlin set off the next morning.
In the afternoon, Mo Beihan returned.
“We succeeded. They will be sent to Qing River Brigade. They sustained quite a few injuries but are not crippled and the injuries are not fatal. It should not be an issue for them to hold out until they reach the Qing River Brigade. Those people probably do not want any deaths to happen either and would send them away very quickly. If not tonight, they should be sent tomorrow morning at the latest.”
Delight surged within Gu Qingyao instantly. “That’s great. Then… I’ll quickly pack up and return to my hometown.”
Although Gu Qingyao was upset that they were injured, it was unavoidable. Fortunately, they were all right and were even to be sent to the Qing River Brigade which would make it very convenient for her to take care of them in the future.
Hearing that his little wife was going to leave, Mo Beihan became gloomy!
