Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again
Chapter 427 - Chapter 427 Chapter 427 Qiaoqiao Am I Useless

Chapter 427: Chapter 427: Qiaoqiao, Am I Useless? Chapter 427: Chapter 427: Qiaoqiao, Am I Useless? And Qin Yize had pushed the door open.

At that moment, Gu Qiaoqiao saw a Qin Yize as cold as snow, with a troubled expression.

Gone was the usual softness in his eyes when he saw her.

It must have been the death of Zhan Yanxiang that had struck him.

For someone like Qin Yize, he must be feeling extremely guilty at this moment.

Before Gu Qiaoqiao could speak, Qin Yize pulled up a chair, sat down in front of Gu Qiaoqiao’s bed, slowly took her hand, and held it gently as he asked in a low voice, “Qiaoqiao, are you alright?”

“Yes, I’m fine,” Gu Qiaoqiao hurriedly replied, and then asked Qin Yize, “Have you had dinner?”

“I have.”

“Did those people confess?”

“Yes, they basically did. They’re mercenaries from East Asia. Their leader is the man who poisoned himself, called Big Head, who is Scar’s captain. They offended Big Viper in Diannan and came to our country to hide. They only knew that there was someone called Chief above Big Head, and as for who that person is, since all the contacts were between Big Head and him, they don’t know. And their hideout…it was already destroyed by the time we got there…”

In an uncharacteristic move, Qin Yize told Gu Qiaoqiao everything about the aftermath of the day’s events. His hand was still holding hers, and this time, Gu Qiaoqiao could feel the sweat from Qin Yize’s palm.

She didn’t move and instead asked softly, “That person called Chief, do you think it could be Ning Wanru, or someone behind Ning Wanru?”

Qin Yize shook his head, “No evidence.”

Suddenly, he released Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand, sat in the chair, rubbed his face with both hands, and then lowered his gaze with his eyebrows downcast. His voice was husky and subdued as he said, “Qiaoqiao, am I useless? I couldn’t find Zhan Yanxiang in the meadow in time, I couldn’t save him, I’m so sad…”

For Qin Yize, death was not unfamiliar. But today, he felt very guilty.

At that time, he should have taken them all back directly…

Then all that followed would not have happened.

“Don’t be sad…” Gu Qiaoqiao leaned toward Qin Yize and whispered, “You were very timely. There was a man in black counting, and I had to step forward. If you hadn’t appeared in time and killed those two men, we still don’t know how many would have died. It’s not your fault; they were too inhumane and devoid of mercy!”

What had happened had happened.

Time can’t flow backward; all the what-ifs are meaningless.

Why should the victims keep blaming themselves with what-ifs? Why don’t the perpetrators lay down their butchers’ knives?

So, in such matters, they were not at fault. What they should do is bring the culprits to justice and ensure they are duly punished.

Qin Yize slowly straightened up, took a deep breath, and quickly adjusted his mood. There are no what-ifs in this world, only the pursuit of the factual truth.

“Lin Qinghuan woke up and said that it was Big Head who killed Zhan Yanxiang,” Qin Yize said calmly.

“The man who poisoned himself?”

“Yes, him.”

“Is that it then?” Gu Qiaoqiao asked, frowning.

“We’re still collecting evidence; it’s a process,” Qin Yize explained patiently to Gu Qiaoqiao.

“Is Lin Qinghuan seriously injured?” Gu Qiaoqiao hesitated, then still asked.

“His muscles and bones are intact, but the injuries are not light,” he said in an even tone, revealing no emotion.
