Chapter 117: Investigating the Mastermind (4)
Bo Zhengting's voice was filled with unquestionable determination: "Xiao Liu, Chu Qiao's safety is the most important thing. No matter what she wants to do, you must ensure her safety."
Xiao Liu immediately responded, "Yes, Mr. Bo, I will do my best to protect Miss Chu."
A trace of worry flashed in Bo Zhengting's eyes, but he knew Chu Qiao's character. Once she made up her mind, it would be difficult to change her mind. He could only ensure her safety through other means.
Bo Zhengting continued, "Xiao Liu, send more people to secretly protect Chu Qiao. She might be in danger, and I don't want her to get hurt."
Xiao Liu nodded, even though Bo Zhengting couldn't see. "Understood, Master Bo. I'll make arrangements right away."
After hanging up the phone, Bo Zhengting leaned on the hospital bed, his eyes flashing with complex light.
He knew Chu Qiao's feelings and was grateful for everything she had done for him, but he was more worried about her safety. He couldn't lose her, she was the most important person in his life.
At the same time, Chu Qiao's car continued to move forward in the night. She didn't know that Bo Zhengting had already known her actions and was secretly protecting her.
She had only one goal in mind, which was to find out the truth and seek justice for Bo Zhengting.
Chu Qiao's car finally stopped in a quiet neighborhood. She knew there was a small bar here, a place frequented by underground forces. She took a deep breath and walked into the bar with determination.
The bar was dimly lit, filled with smoke, and the music was deafening. Chu Qiao was not affected by these things. She walked directly to the bar and ordered a drink.
The bartender glanced at Chu Qiao and said, "Miss, you don't look like a regular here."
Chu Qiao calmly replied, "I'm here to see a friend who often comes here."
The bartender nodded, then whispered, "What's your friend's name?"
Chu Qiao said a name, a person mentioned in the information she got from the warehouse.
A hint of vigilance flashed in the bartender's eyes, then he nodded and motioned Chu Qiao to follow him.
Chu Qiao followed the bartender through the back door of the bar and came to a more secluded room.
There were several people sitting in the room, their eyes sharp as they looked at Chu Qiao. Chu Qiao did not flinch, she walked straight towards them.
Chu Qiao calmly said to them, "I'm here to find some information about the person who recently attacked Bo Zhengting."
The men exchanged glances, then one of them stood up and sneered, "Bo Zhengting? That big shot? Are you tired of living by picking on him?"
Chu Qiao looked at him fearlessly: "I don't care who he is. He hurt Zheng Ting, and I want him to pay the price."
The man was silent for a moment, then said, "Well, I can give you some information, but it won't be cheap."
Chu Qiao nodded: "I am willing to pay the price as long as the real culprit can be found."
The man nodded and whispered something to the men beside him.
Soon, Chu Qiao got the information she needed. She knew that this was just the beginning and she still had a long way to go, but she was ready.
Chu Qiao left the bar and returned to the car, her mood more determined. She knew she was getting closer to the truth, and she would not stop until she got justice for Bo Zhengting.
Chu Qiao sat in the driver's seat, her fingers tapping lightly on the steering wheel, her mind racing.
Although the information she had just obtained was fragmentary, it was enough for her to continue her investigation. She knew that every clue could be the key to the truth.
She took out her cell phone and called Xiao Liu again: "Xiao Liu, I have some new information, and I may need your help to investigate further."
Xiao Liu's voice came immediately, full of concentration: "Ms. Chu, please tell me what the specific information is."
Chu Qiao told Xiao Liu all the clues she had obtained, including some of the names and places mentioned by those people: "These may be the key. We need to find out as soon as possible."
Xiao Liu carefully wrote down all the information: "I understand, Miss Chu. I will start investigating immediately and notify you as soon as I find anything."
Chu Qiao nodded, even though Xiao Liu couldn't see. "Thank you, Xiao Liu. I know you, like Zheng Ting, are trustworthy people."
Xiao Liu's voice was firm: "Ms. Chu, don't worry, we will do our best to protect you and Mr. Bo's safety."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Qiao took a deep breath. She knew that the road ahead might be more difficult, but she would not back down.
She started the car, and the headlights cut through the night again. She continued to move forward, determined not to give up until she found the real culprit.
At the same time, Bo Zhengting was lying on the hospital bed. Although his body had not fully recovered, his thoughts were always on Chu Qiao.
He knew her determination and courage, her intelligence and ability, but he still couldn't help but worry about her.
He called Xiao Liu again, his voice carrying a hint of unquestionable command: "Xiao Liu, where is Chu Qiao now? Is she safe?"
Xiao Liu immediately replied, "Mr. Bo, Miss Chu is on her way back. Our people have been secretly protecting her. She is safe."
Bo Zhengting felt a little more at ease, but his brows were still furrowed. "Continue to protect her. No mistakes can be made. Also, keep me informed of the progress of the investigation."
Xiao Liu agreed. "Yes, Master Bo. I will ensure Miss Chu's safety and keep you updated on the progress of the investigation."
After hanging up the phone, Bo Zhengting slowly put the phone aside, then leaned back gently, and finally leaned comfortably on the soft pillow.
At this moment, his deep and bright eyes flashed with an incomparably determined light, as eye-catching as the brightest star in the night sky.
He knew very well that the dilemma he was facing was not just the physical pain, but more importantly how to recover his health as quickly as possible and regain enough strength to protect the woman who was most important to him - Chu Qiaoqiao.
Because only in this way can he stand shoulder to shoulder with her and face the unknown challenges and difficulties ahead together.
As time passed, the night grew darker and the whole city was gradually shrouded in darkness.
The streets and alleys that were once brightly lit and bustling with people gradually became quiet. The street lamps and lights in high-rise buildings went out one after another, leaving only a few lights still standing in the silent night.
However, in this pitch-black night, there was a unique light that never disappeared - that was the headlights of the car driven by Chu Qiao.
It is like a sharp sword piercing through the heavy fog, moving forward courageously on the road, just like Chu Qiao's own unswerving determination, which will never be easily extinguished no matter how great the difficulties and setbacks are.
Chu Qiao gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, staring intently at the winding road ahead.
Although she knew that the "battle" ahead might be extremely long and full of hardships, she had already made up her mind in her heart: for the sake of Bo Zhengting, whom she deeply loved, and for the sincere and deep feelings between the two, she would do it even if it required her to make great efforts or even sacrifice herself!
