Eighties Sweetheart Wife
Chapter 412: Retreat Out the Door!

Chapter 412: Chapter 412: Retreat Out the Door!

Su Miaolian’s daughter, Loo Lichun, was a woman who looked haggard and timid.

According to the file, she was born in ’57, only twenty-three years old this year.

Upon hearing this, she looked incredulously at the handsome young man before her, and the two young men with an imposing aura standing behind him.

What did he mean?

Arrange for her mother’s remaining life, and hers too?

Loo Zhiguo lived next door. Hearing the commotion, he hurried over.

And he saw Gu Huai’an and two others.

Such figures, even dressed plainly, were evidently not ordinary people.

What did they want with the madwoman?

It had been a long time since anyone came looking for her, including her son.

Should he inform the Second Mistress, oh, no, he should call her Comrade Qu.

That woman was ruthless. He dared not offend her; he still wanted to live out his retirement peacefully.

But first, he needed to figure out what these people wanted.

Loo Zhiguo brazenly prepared to enter the house.

But he was stopped by Secretary Xiao Wu, who, unlike his usual smiling self, solemnly produced his credentials and flashed them before Loo Zhiguo.

Loo Zhiguo flinched, hurriedly halting his steps.

Xiao Wu: "Department investigation, no outsiders allowed!"

Loo Zhiguo was confused: "But... this is my house."

Xiao Wu: "I know." He then pointed at Loo Zhiguo, his tone stern, "Move outside the door."

Xiao Wu’s presence was imposing, and Loo Zhiguo, frightened, quickly backed away.

He didn’t even dare to look at Gu Huai’an inside the house.

But suddenly he shouted, "The ones inside are my wife and my daughter, why can’t I go in?"

This was a small annex by the side of a large mixed-housing compound, not very spacious.

Even though the house was tidy, there was still a suffocating odor lingering within.

Yet Gu Huai’an, as if devoid of the sense of smell, stared silently at the old woman lying in the bed.

Upon hearing Loo Zhiguo’s shout, he turned to look at Loo Lichun.

Her clothing was patched up extensively, her hands revealed beneath the clothes were covered in chilblains, and she was very thin. At her father’s outburst, she visibly shrank back in fear of the man.

Then they heard Xiao Wu say, "They’re involved in a major case. Are you sure you want to be taken away with them? And besides, didn’t you divorce Su Miaolian?"

At these words, the normally aggressive Loo Zhiguo shrank back, not daring to look at the scene inside the house, slinking back to his own quarters with a stooped gait.

At that moment, the old woman’s murky unfocused eyes seemed to spark with a glint of light.

Gu Huai’an: "If you agree, just nod your head."

The old woman looked at her distraught daughter and eventually nodded slowly.

What’s there to fear if things couldn’t get any worse?

Gu Huai’an then had them taken to the Dragon Aviation Sanatorium.

First, they were brought to the washroom.

Aunt Zhou, the head of logistics, prepared two sets of clothes for them to change into, from underwear to outerwear.

With hot water, a bathtub, and a shower available, Aunt Zhou explained to Lichun how to use them before leaving.

After freshening up and changing into clean clothes, they sat in a warm room.

Even the apprehensive Loo Lichun couldn’t help but relax a little.

To live such a day made it seem worth it, even if she were to die tomorrow.

After they were settled, Gu Huai’an arranged for a doctor to check their health, and once finished, he led them to a row of dormitories at the back.

Right at the end, there was a room of over forty square meters, complete with a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen, lacking nothing, and the bedding was branded with the Dragon Aviation logo.

This was the Dragon Aviation Sanatorium.

When Loo Lichun first arrived, she noticed it, and everyone around referred to the handsome young man respectfully as Commander-in-charge Gu or Deputy Director Gu.

Before the New Year, Gu Huai’an had become the Deputy Director of Dragon Aviation Headquarters while also continuing to serve as the overall commander.

So, he was an official, a man of clout, and his words were not empty.

Loo Lichun didn’t know what he intended to do, but she knew it had something to do with her mother.

Her nervous gaze drifted towards her mother, now seated in a wheelchair.

Su Miaolian looked at Gu Huai’an, this stranger who seemed to wield great power, wondering what he wanted from her.

Once Xiao Wu had brought the work permit, household registration, and other documents, Gu Huai’an placed them on the table.

By this time, they had finished their meal.

It was now evening.

As the lights came on and she saw these items, Su Miaolian’s eyes reddened with emotion.

Her hands had been forcibly smashed, resulting in a disability because she didn’t receive treatment for the fractures.

Yet she still brought her hands together in a gesture of gratitude towards Gu Huai’an.

From today onwards, her daughter was officially an employee of the sanatorium cafeteria.

She and her daughter could continue to live here, regardless of whether Gu Huai’an was the leader or not.

They were considered as special care subjects of the unit.

She, herself, was approved to receive a monthly living allowance of ten yuan, with other benefits no different from those of the workers.

This was no different from being given a life-saving grace.

What could she do in return?

Gu Huai’an had all this arranged and had Xiao Tian bring a blackboard over to the side of the wall.

Gu Huai’an said, "I’ll write the questions, you nod if you know, shake your head if you don’t... Don’t worry, I mean no harm, I don’t believe that someone who could donate all her dowry to support the front is a bad person!"

After these words were spoken, the room fell into silence.

Even Loo Lichun was shocked, her eyes wide with astonishment.

What about donating all her dowry?

What about supporting the front line?

Why had she never heard of such things?

Su Miaolian was momentarily stunned; her tears had long since dried up, yet now they silently covered her aged cheeks.

-----------------

Song Yunuan arrived in Beidu on the seventh day, and Kurt Gymm and his group would not arrive until the tenth.

Gu Huai’an dropped them off at the entrance to Old Mr. Ji’s home and then left.

Song Yunuan surmised that he must have had business to attend to.

Otherwise, he would have been eager to take her sightseeing.

However, while Gu Huai’an was not making arrangements, Chu Zizhou did call to say that he’d be going back to work after the tenth. Song Yunuan told him that she couldn’t go back to Nanshan with him then.

She had a business meeting on the tenth.

Chu Zizhou, "Then let’s meet up, whenever you’re free, and I’ll take you guys out for barbecue."

Song Yunuan, "You decide, I’m good with it."

Chu Zizhou, "Alright, then I’ll arrange it."

This was the perfect opportunity to see Song Ting.

Nevertheless, the mood was heavy.

Grandpa Gu had left his job, and her own grandfather had gone to the Gu family, only to return in tears.

He did not utter a word about what had happened.

Gu Huai’an, after picking up Little Nuan, had been busy nonstop.

He wanted to gather these people for a meal together.

As for what to talk about, that could wait until the time came.

Song Yunuan could discern from Chu Zizhou’s voice that it wasn’t as relaxed as usual, but she did not dwell on it.

What she was curious about was Gu Huai’an—she wondered if her reminder had been helpful.

She planned to indirectly inquire with Gu Huai’an the following day.

Chu Zizhou’s call to Song Yunuan was made after eight in the evening.

When it was past nine o’clock, the person surveilling Loo Zhiguo reported back to Gu Huai’an.

Loo Zhiguo had met with Old Mrs. Qian, exchanged a few words, and then left.

This was a signal being sent.

Gu Huai’an couldn’t be entirely certain that all his analysis was correct.

However, he wrote each analysis point by point on the blackboard.

More than two hours later, he had most of the answers.

Like scattered beads, he had to pick each one up and thread them together.
