Chapter 113 AQ

Gu Jinghe began to feel hot-headed and his breathing became rapid.

Qiao Xiao sensed something was wrong. No, if things continued like this, Gu Jinghe's wound would definitely get infected. She had to deal with it as soon as possible.

Qiao Xiao: "Gu Jinghe, can you take off your clothes yourself? It's not good for me to treat your wound like this."

Gu Jinghe sobbed a few times, sounding quite distressed. His eyes were brimming with tears, as if he had suffered a great injustice and was feeling extremely bitter. He held back his sobs and said, "Okay."

He also had abrasions on his hands, but he unbuttoned his coat with remarkable speed, revealing his thin upper body.

Qiao Xiao was furious when she saw it. Those beasts! She was so angry that the person she had raised with such care had been treated so badly by them.

Gu Jinghe squinted; he could see Qiao Xiao's concern for him. That was nice.

Qiao Xiao saw him smile and looked at him with a disappointed expression, "At a time like this, you're still smiling. You're really quite ill."

Gu Jinghe struggled internally, saying, "I can handle it, this... is nothing?"

Qiao Xiao sneered, "Nothing much? Wait until the medicine is applied to your body, then let's see how much you can endure. Bear the pain."

Gu Jinghe nodded, looking at her with teary eyes. It was strange; her usually imposing figure now seemed so delicate.

Qiao Xiao touched his forehead; it wasn't very hot. She said indifferently, "I'll teach you how to treat your wound."

She planned to let the patient treat the wound himself.

Gu Jinghe was also heartbroken by her actions. He forced himself to process his emotions and said dejectedly, "Okay..."

The policewoman and Lai Mi looked at Qiao Xiao with suspicion as she walked out. Lai Mi asked, "Is it all taken care of?"

Qiao Xiao: "He's taken care of part of it; he can handle the rest himself."

The policewoman didn't ask any further questions. She simply extended her hand and said, "I'm Mary. It's nice to see you again, Joe."

Qiao Xiao's curiosity was piqued. "Who told you my name? Lai Mi?"

Mary's cheerful laughter pierced through Qiao Xiao's foggy heart. "I'm a police officer, darling. It's easy for me to investigate someone."

Qiao Xiao: "Mary, was the truth behind the shooting incident ever uncovered?"

Mary's face instantly turned serious, and he regretfully told Qiao Xiao, "I'm sorry, lovely girl, we don't have any."

Qiao Xiao: "Laimi, I want to see the video from back then."

Lemi lit a cigarette, looking at her with a complicated expression. "I think..."

Mary then said, "Okay."

Lemi looked at Mary in surprise and sighed helplessly. Mary smiled and said, "It's okay, Lemi. She's already a member of the charity and has the right to access those videos."

Lemi: "But you know, she hasn't gotten her certification yet."

Mary: "She is definitely qualified. I just taught our new members a regular job in advance."

Qiao Xiao asked doubtfully, "But Mary, a police officer can't do this job."

Lemi looked at Mary and smiled, puzzled. "Of course she can't be a police officer, but she has resigned from her position as an organizer of the charity, and that position has been completely revoked."

Qiao Xiao examined the video footage brought by Lai Mi and made a clear discovery.

"Their guns are modified."

Mary squinted, looking at her with a certain gaze. "You're right, that's exactly it. We've been investigating this for a long time, but we haven't been able to make a quick breakthrough. However, we found out that a company recently imported some parts. Ordinary legal parts are fine, but the sophisticated items they're buying and selling for high-end firearms fall into a gray area."

Qiao Xiao: "Who owns that company?"

Mary: "It's a new company called AQ."

"AQ is a new company that Ke and I co-founded."

Gu Jinghe slowly emerged from the room, his steps somewhat heavy. He looked frail and delicate, which made Lai Mi feel a pang of sympathy.

Mary's eyes sharpened, and she said with a questioning tone, "It's you?"

Gu Jinghe walked to Qiao Xiao's side, looked at the girls staring at him with a serious expression, took a deep breath, and said with all his might, "Yes."

Lemi stopped Mary, who was about to confront him, anticipating her actions, and reassured her, "Calm down, let him finish."

Qiao Xiao was a little frightened. Gu Jinghe was a smart man. How could he not understand the situation?

What is AQ? Why doesn't Gu Jinghe tell her anything? Is he trying to hide it? Why?

Gu Jinghe explained, "AQ mainly focuses on developing technical products. He is in charge of sales, and I am in charge of management."

Mary looked at him seriously. "It might be someone with the same name."

Gu Jinghe retorted directly, "It's not a case of the same name. AQ's recent data has shown anomalies, which I noticed during my thorough investigation of the finances."

Qiao Xiao didn't plan to ask Gu Jinghe why he hadn't told her; it was probably his privacy, and she had no right to ask.

Gu Jinghe kept watching Qiao Xiao's reaction. Her expression was unusually calm, as if she had no opinion on his actions and was indifferent.

Qiao Xiao suggested, "There's definitely something wrong with that department."

Gu Jinghe continued, "Our neighbor Bieber also wants to get involved in this matter, and we are discussing it now."

Qiao Xiao: "If they're in cahoots, they'll probably know you're injured. Try to find a way to get information out of them."

Mary chimed in, "I'll keep a close eye on their movements."

Qiao Xiao: "Mary, so what should we do now? Live a normal life?"

Suddenly, Gu Jinghe's phone rang.

Qiao Xiao frowned in dissatisfaction, thinking: Who called Gu Jinghe? Don't they know phone calls are expensive?

Gu Jinghe looked at Qiao Xiao, as if asking me whether I should answer.

Qiao Xiao sighed. Calling at this time of day might mean they know something. She asked, "Is it possible to trace this call?"

Lemi immediately sat down and started operating the device, saying, "It will take a while to complete the call."

Qiao Xiao gestured to Gu Jinghe to answer the phone.

A familiar voice came from the phone.

"Gu Jinghe, how are you?!" The voice on the other end of the phone was agitated, but Gu Jinghe recognized it as Ke's.

Gu Jinghe feigned weakness, saying, "I... come save me!" He sounded like he was about to die.

Upon hearing this, Ke immediately became anxious. "I hope nothing bad has happened to you. I've been looking for you here for ages, but I can't find you anywhere."

Gu Jinghe then mentioned a place name, indicating that he was nearby and requesting that Ke come find him as soon as possible.

After the phone call, everyone fell silent.

Gu Jinghe's expression turned serious. "He knows the information is far too accurate."

Qiao Xiao: "The 'here' he just mentioned is very likely that he was looking for you in the monitoring room but couldn't find you, or he was looking for you all over the school but couldn't find you."

Lemi said, "This communication device has a common model, but it has a strong signal and can pinpoint the device owner's exact location, which is within XX University. We can directly verify the owner's information based on the signal code."

Mary: "Then, Lemi, you stay here and investigate. I'll go with Qiao Xiao and Gu Jinghe to investigate XX University and see what's going on there."

Qiao Xiao: "No, it's too easy to expose us. Those people probably have other methods. Let's not rush to find out."

Just as he finished speaking, Lei Mi hurriedly added, "We received news from other districts that an explosion occurred at XX University."

Mary exclaimed, "Explosion?!"

Lemi: "Yes, but so far no one has been found inside. The police have already gone there to investigate, and the media will probably arrive at the scene as soon as possible."

Qiao Xiao said to Gu Jinghe, "Call that department and ask what's going on!"

As if on cue, Gu Jinghe had already made the call before Qiao Xiao reminded him.

Gu Jinghe didn't forget to feign weakness, coughing as he asked, "What's wrong, Ke? I think I heard an explosion."

Ke: "I don't know either. I'm on my way. Wait for me!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Qiao Xiao: "Play along with him for a while, and then explain the situation."

Gu Jinghe: "But all my injuries have already been treated."

Qiao Xiao: "Wait until he can't find you and calls you. Now, we can go home. Mary, let's keep in touch by phone. In any case, your presence will destabilize the situation. Let's see how things go first."

Mary: "Okay, we'll keep in touch by phone."
