That day, he drank with Fong Lei. In front of his elder brother, he could no longer control his emotions. The alcohol mixed with tears, and he vented all the desolation and despair in his heart. But when the sun rose, he had to keep moving forward. As the investigation deepened, the Imperial Capital’s Imperial Treasure Chest caught his attention, followed by the old patriarch of Yubao Square, Gu Qingfeng, the Second Lady, Ning Wanru, and the adopted son, Gu Cheng. And in that year, Great Grandfather passed away too suddenly, causing the Qin Family’s business to plummet. Father, stricken with guilt, was hit once again, while sister, hiding at home, didn’t even dare to meet anyone. He continued to bear the burden and work desperately, only with greater capability would the investigation progress faster. By that time, Gu Cheng was already in a high position. Trying to investigate his affairs was easier said than done. But he already knew that the calamities befalling the Gu Family and the Qin Family were not accidental but the result of someone’s design. In August of the year 1989, within just one month, ten people from the Gu Family and the Qin Family, four died, two were injured, one was imprisoned, and one ended up at the police station... The person capable of orchestrating such a chain plot had extraordinary power and capability. He did not tell Qiaoqiao, nor could he, firstly because there was no investigation result, and secondly because Qiaoqiao could not possibly meet him. What he needed to do then was to climb to a higher position, only then would he have the capacity to continue the investigation. And also have the capability to avenge the Gu Family and the Qin Family! He led Special Squad One to destroy one illegal research base after another, and he led scholars from the laboratory to achieve one breakthrough after another. He was very cautious because he couldn’t afford to have anything happen to him, couldn’t die, otherwise, no one would seek justice for the Gu Family and the Qin Family. And Qiaoqiao finally grew to no longer need others to worry about her. She had found a footing and had money to buy a house. What he could do for her was to entrust a classmate in the Construction Committee to help him buy a cost-effective house and then sell it to her at a low price. He couldn’t let her live in the suburbs; it was too remote, inconvenient for commuting. And this, was just right. Qiaoqiao had a house, and also a home. Later, she even met the neighbor from her hometown, Chang Qing. With just one glance, he knew that young man loved Qiaoqiao. Had been always looking for Qiaoqiao. His heart was unbearably sour, yet also happy for Qiaoqiao because, regardless of anything, there was another person to take care of her. And as for him, maybe he would never have the right to stand by her side again. That year, he turned thirty. His parents introduced him to girls, but he ruthlessly refused them all, for in this lifetime, he would not marry again. In the end, his parents had no choice but to give up. After Lin Qinghuan’s unsuccessful confession to him, she went abroad again, and at that time, he obtained an important lead. About Lin Qinghuan, about the Gu Family of Yubao Square... Although he had leads, there was not a shred of evidence. He wanted to tell Qiaoqiao but was afraid she would recklessly ruin things. Most importantly, he had yet to find out the relationship between Gu Tianfeng and Gu Qingfeng. Another point was, he did not have much time, spending eleven months of the year at the base, either conducting experiments or executing missions, sometimes even going abroad to assist... The time left for his investigation was not much. Chu Chengfeng was always helping him, while Du Tian, after An Xiaotong ran away with someone, left for distant lands, so the only trustworthy friend he had was Chu Chengfeng. However, his and Chu Chengfeng’s investigation also faced unprecedented resistance and challenges. There were even leaders threatening to expel him from the base headquarters. Fresh chapters posted on novel⦿fire.net Fortunately, his merits were truly numerous, and upright people were everywhere. Not only did he not receive punishment, but he also became the youngest in the base headquarters... He even stood on the podium of the auditorium to receive a medal. In that year, he happened to be thirty years old. Qiaoqiao was twenty-seven. They had been apart for six years and three months.
