Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 154 - Unrest
Chapter 154 -154 Unrest
No one could have imagined that just moments ago, these two had been discussing a topic with no future.
The dumplings in the evening once again made everyone look at Gu Qiaoqiao with admiration.
These dumpling fillings are indeed fragrant.
With the chewy dumpling wrappers and the delicious dipping sauce, everyone ended up eating every last one.
They arrived happy and left satisfied.
The moon quietly climbed over the mountain, and the night in Border City fell into silence.
Meanwhile, in the Imperial Capital, at the old residence of the Shen Family.
After taking a walk post-dinner, Elder Shen was back at his simple desk, reading the latest newspaper.
The young man who always accompanied him, Loo Zhigang, entered with a doctor.
“Elder Shen, your test results have come out,” Loo Zhigang gently reminded him.
Elder Shen finally raised his head, looked at the two people in front of him, put down the newspaper, and leaned back.
The doctor placed the test results on the desk in front of Elder Shen and was about to speak when Elder Shen chuckled and said, “Don’t use any of that professional jargon, just give it to me straight.”
“Elder Shen, your health is improving. Particularly, the shadow in your lung has dissipated, and the inflammation in your bronchus has also improved. Your medication has been rearranged; you need only to take one of them, and moreover, you can completely stop taking it in one week. Going forward, you need to pay attention to rest and diet…” the doctor indeed put it plainly.
“Alright, I’ve got it, thank you for your efforts.”
“It’s no trouble, this is my duty.” The doctor then handed a piece of paper to Loo Zhigang, “There are some foods you’d better avoid or at least reduce consumption…”
Loo Zhigang quickly interjected, “Like chili peppers, right?”
The doctor nodded.
Elder Shen glared at Loo Zhigang, but his mood was also not bad. With his health improved, he could do more things.
After giving further advice to Elder Shen, the doctor finally left the office, and Loo Zhigang followed him to see him out.
Elder Shen then stood up, took a few light steps around the room, and then sat down on the sofa.
The amulet on his chest, whether due to the warmth of his body or the amulet itself, only Elder Shen knew that, after wearing this amulet for over a week, the cough that had troubled him for many years gradually improved.
The burning sensation in his airways that had tortured him for decades also gradually eased.
Until now, it had almost returned to normal.
All of this may have been the effect of the amulet, or perhaps the effect of the medication, but it was just too coincidental.
Elder Shen’s gaze deepened as he looked at the filing cabinet where the urgent documents from the afternoon had been placed, containing the complete record of Zhao Ying’s attempted poisoning.
Inside, he saw a name, the girl who had carved the amulet—Gu Qiaoqiao.
This was a secret from within the Border City Experimental Base.
To the outside, of course, it was a different story.
After a moment of thought, Elder Shen picked up the telephone and spoke in a serious tone, “I have finished the document. Erase the girl’s name completely, leaving no trace.”
“Yes, Elder Shen, I’ll carry it out immediately!”
After putting down the phone, Elder Shen sat back down at his desk, meticulously placed the document, and knew that the current situation was indeed very serious.

Some enemy agents were simply ruthless and frenzied; he could not allow Gu Qiaoqiao to be in potential danger.
No matter what was special about her, Elder Shen knew in his heart that the amulet she had loaned him was only beneficial and not harmful.
Although they were all materialists, the Huaxia civilization had a long and splendid history, with a broad and profound culture. Elder Shen was very familiar with some of the subtleties of the culture.
So, he wasn’t surprised.
He possessed a wealth of economic knowledge that could be described as forward-thinking. Although he was old now, he still wanted to continue doing things that would benefit the country and its people.
He understood the principle that strong science and technology enrich the nation.
He was the chief in charge of the experimental base.
And such experimental bases had grown from just one to several.
But he valued the one in Border City the most.
Because Qin Yize was there.
Although there were investments from the Qin Family here, the involvement of Qin Yize had already resulted in three globally notable achievements.
Of course, all this was confidential.
Outsiders currently didn’t know.
Therefore, he wanted to eliminate all potential dangers and obstacles for this young man and his family.
At this moment, Loo Zhigang entered, smiling with his eyes squinted, and after pouring a glass of water for Elder Shen, he cheerfully said, “Elder Shen, it’s wonderful; you finally don’t have to take medicine and injections all day long.”
Elder Shen took the water, took a sip, and gently asked, “Has my salary been deposited in that passbook yet?”
Loo Zhigang nodded and pouted his lips, “Elder Shen, you know I keep my word, and I didn’t plan to renege. But these two times depositing money in the passbook, my heart aches, we suffered too much, the other day Xiao Zhang bought five of them for ten yuan, and he even gave me one…”
Elder Shen looked at Loo Zhigang amusedly but did not expose him; instead, he straightened his face and said sternly, “You should have no more complaints about this matter, we are in business, and we trade fairly with the young lady, it’s not coercion. So, no more grumbling in the future, and the debt should also be sent on schedule.”
“Yes, Elder Shen,” Loo Zhigang, seeing Elder Shen’s stern face, quickly agreed enthusiastically.
Elder Shen nodded with satisfaction, “That’s how it should be.”
Seeing Elder Shen had resumed reading, Loo Zhigang quietly exited.
Meanwhile, in a civilian house in a northern city, a phone call was made to the Imperial Capital where a woman picked it up. The contents of the call were extraordinarily ordinary.
But it was, in fact, encrypted communication.
Only the involved parties understood what was being said.
The woman’s voice was a bit gloomy as she rebuked the caller, then instructed them not to act rashly and to destroy all of Zhao Ying’s other information.
Zhao Ying had changed the plan on her own; her death was insignificant now, the important thing was how to clean up the traces completely and remain undetected.
The person on the other side nodded continuously, and then they each hung up the phone.
The night grew deeper, and the moonlight was like water.
And this night was destined not to be calm.
It was now two AM, and in a special care ward of a hospital in the Imperial Capital, Gu Qingfeng, who had been in a coma for over a month, suddenly moved his finger.
Uncle Gu, who had been dozing off at his side, suddenly opened his eyes as if by telepathy.
He then saw Elder Gu’s finger trembling slightly.
Uncle Gu first wiped his eyes in disbelief, then, seeing Elder Gu’s eyelids also twitching, he threw himself forward, crying out, “Old Patriarch, you’re awake; can you hear me talking?”
Gu Qingfeng struggled to move his finger again.
His eyelids were also twitching as if he was trying to open his eyes.
