C705 I Want to Keep You Safe
When Gao Qi's assistant was calling Zheng Tiancheng, the mayor of Ningcheng City, Qiao Jiada, also came to the provincial capital. He drove an ordinary Volkswagen with only one accompanying person. He was dressed very ordinary. Obviously, he did not want to attract anyone's attention.
After entering the Minghu City, Qiao Jiada drove for nearly half an hour. Only then did he arrive in front of a large house. It was a rather simple looking courtyard house. Although it was simple and unadorned, it wasn't old or shabby. Instead, it had a different kind of solemn atmosphere.
A courtyard house like this was rarely seen in the Minghu City. It was such a big courtyard house. It was even more unique in the entire Minghu City, and the family that owned this courtyard house. It was also the one and only family in the provincial capital, the Qiao Family, the number one family in the province.
Everyone knew that the Qiao Family was getting stronger and stronger with each generation. Especially in this generation, the direct line of descent of the Qiao Family actually had seven sons and a daughter. Except for Qiao Anan, who was kicked out of the family two years ago, everyone had their own strengths. Some of them were already in high positions.
Qiao Jiada, who was already the mayor of Ningcheng City at such a young age, was naturally one of them.
"Fourth Young Master, you're back." As soon as they entered the door, someone came up to them and greeted Qiao Jiada respectfully.
"Is the old man awake?" Qiao Jiada asked.
"He woke up half an hour ago. He was waiting for you, Fourth Master." The man answered hastily.
"Okay, I'll go in and see him," the man said. Qiao Jiada nodded and quickened his pace towards the inside. The man who had just come forward and the person who had followed Qiao Jiada back in the past. However, they all consciously stopped in their tracks.
A few minutes later, Qiao Jiada arrived at the courtyard at the back. The moment he stepped into the courtyard, he gave off a feeling as if winter had just arrived and spring had arrived. This was because wherever he looked, there were blooming flowers.
There were quite a number of people in the courtyard, men and women. There were nearly ten of them. However, everyone was surrounded by a white-haired old man, and this old man... He was the one with the highest seniority in the Qiao Family, Qiao Jiada's grandfather. Qiao Yingtian, Old Man Qiao.
Old Man Qiao liked fresh flowers very much, and this courtyard was the place he stayed every day. Whether it was the wind, rain, or the harsh summer and winter, he would definitely stay in this courtyard for a period of time every day. Therefore, no matter what season it was, there would always be flowers blooming in this courtyard.
"Grandpa, I'm back." Qiao Jiada walked over and nodded to the others as a greeting.
"Jiada, you're back. It's good that you're back. Is the matter settled?" A smile appeared on Qiao Yingtian's face, but his voice was clearly lacking in energy. Actually, it was no wonder that this old man Qiao would be celebrating his 80th birthday in one year. He was really old.
"Xiao Ge nodded. There will be no problem with Anan." Qiao Jiada nodded. "I have already told Xiao Ge the time. The twenty-ninth lunar calendar, the day before New Year's Eve, we will go to Ningcheng City to pick up Anan."
Pausing for a moment, Qiao Jiada continued, "Grandpa, I came back just to make sure. Did I say anything wrong last time? Xiao Ge asked us to pick up Anan with the highest standard, and all the important members of the Qiao Family must go. Has everyone agreed to it now?"
" Don't worry. I'll make the decision now. Inform those who haven't returned. No matter where they are, come back immediately! " Qiao Yingtian's tone had an unquestionable tone.
After a slight pause, Qiao Yingtian looked at a tall man beside him: "Jiasheng, you handle this matter. If anyone doesn't come back, tie them up and bring them back to me!"
"Yes, Grandfather." This tall man was the second most powerful man in Qiao Family, Qiao Jiasheng. He nodded his head, then turned around and left.
"I know some of you are still unconvinced. I don't think I should go and fetch Anan in such a grand way. But let me tell you, the reason why I am called Ying Tian is because I have always been following the will of the heavens. It is the will of the heavens to let Anan go home. The will of the heavens cannot be disobeyed! " Qiao Ying Tian glanced at the crowd slowly and said in a heavier tone. "Prosper, prosperity, and safety. Without Anan, how can it be safe? Tell everyone not to find any excuses. As long as you're not dead, follow me to Ningcheng City. Even I, an old man, can go, so why can't all of you? "
"Dad, don't worry. Since you've spoken, we will naturally go there." A middle-aged man said.
"Humph, don't think that you will go for me. I know I won't live for long. I asked you to bring Anan back because I want to keep you safe! " Qiao Yingtian snorted. "Don't feel wronged right now. I'm sure that one day... You will understand that I'm right! "
The dozen or so men and women around him did not dare to speak, as if they were afraid of angering the old man.
"Grandfather, I understand. Everyone will understand as well." Qiao Jiada spoke at this moment to ease the atmosphere.
"Jiada, you are still the sensible one. Regarding this matter... You have also done very well this time." Qiao Yingtian sighed softly. "Anan, that child. I also miss her. However, over the years, I didn't care enough about her. Now, I only remember her cute face when she was little. I think she must have blamed me in her heart. "
"Grandpa, Anan is living a happy life right now. So, I think she won't care about what happened in the past anymore." Qiao Jiada said in a low voice.
"I hope so." Qiao Yingtian sighed and waved his hand. "Don't stay here any longer. Arrange for me. We can't afford to be careless about this."
Everyone left one after another. Only Qiao Jiada stayed behind.
"Jiada, accompany me for a chat." Qiao Yingtian sighed, "They always don't believe in those mysterious things. But when they reach my age, they will eventually believe it too. However, it will be too late to believe it when that time comes. "
As night fell, on Valentine's Day... However, it also welcomed the climax of Valentine's Day, which was known as the Roomroom Festival. At night, it was the peak period for couples to get a room. This night, the hotel was always full.
Luo Mi County, Han Village, was also shrouded in the misty night sky. However, at this moment, a beautiful girl passed through the thick night sky. After leaving the village, she quickly arrived at the road in the direction of the county town.2
The county town was very lively at this time, but this was the countryside. At this moment, this place was rather deserted. However, at this moment, on the deserted roadside, there was a man standing there.
"You're here!" The young girl quickly pounced towards the man, appearing to be quite happy.
"Han Xueru, you're in a good mood. Are you planning to have a wild battle with your man?" But at this moment, a voice was heard.
