Chapter 1623: Chapter 1623: You Must Not Underestimate the Enemy

Luo Qiao laughed, "I haven’t sparred in a long time. If they’re really targeting me, who knows who would end up tying whom. I’ll be waiting then."

Lu Yichen said seriously, "Those people are always out there fighting. You can’t underestimate them."

Luo Qiao hugged Lu Yichen’s neck, "Want to make a bet with me?"

Lu Yichen raised his hand and gently tapped Luo Qiao’s forehead, "I’m being serious. Don’t be playful."

Luo Qiao let go, "Who’s being playful? I’m also speaking seriously to you."

Lu Yichen thought to himself, for safety’s sake, he should secretly assign someone to stay by her side, to ease his worries.

Luo Qiao truly didn’t take it to heart; she went on with her days as usual.

When she’s not busy, she visits the Luo Family to see her grandparents, sometimes stops by the machinery factory for a quick meal, and occasionally visits her master, not because she doesn’t want to go, but because she hates seeing those people fearing she’s taking advantage of her master and mistress.

Since her master got better, that caregiver left as well.

Ever since her master recovered, those filial sons and grandsons started visiting again. It’s so realistic, so speechless, and makes one want to laugh.

But now, her master and mistress are particularly amusing. Every time they get Yipin to deliver groceries, it’s just a little, just enough for the two of them for a day. The fridge is merely decoration now. In this cold weather, they even unplugged it a few days ago.

The eldest daughter-in-law once asked, "Dad, why did you unplug the fridge? Is it broken or what?"

Yang Jiancheng was reading the newspaper and didn’t even lift his head, "It’s winter, there’s no need for it, and you guys don’t bring anything back home. Why keep it plugged in? It’s a waste of electricity."

Bai Sulì was left speechless. They indeed seldom brought things back.

Anyway, the couple’s stuff is all kept in their own room. In the kitchen, apart from pots and pans, there are no ingredients. They don’t even keep oil in there.

You can come back, but you won’t be fed and watered like before.

But these three families are quite funny. Even in such a situation, they visit more frequently, afraid the couple might give some benefits to the other two families when they’re not around.

So now, the Yang Family has become every person for themselves.

That’s why Luo Qiao visits less often now. Even if she goes, she just drops off things and leaves after a few words.

******

A week passed without noticing anything unusual, and Lu Yichen’s words were forgotten.

That day, while doing rounds at the hospital, Luo Qiao constantly felt someone was watching her. But when she looked around, she found no one. She trusted her intuition completely.

So, after discreetly finishing her rounds, she returned to the office. There was no surgery scheduled for this morning, so she took a leave to leave the hospital. If they were indeed after her, she would face them.

With the hospital bustling with people, she couldn’t risk involving innocents.

Luo Qiao changed out of her lab coat, went downstairs, and drove out.

After thinking for a bit, she decided to head towards the Yipin Base, at least this way it wouldn’t raise suspicions.

Once the car left the hospital, Luo Qiao called Lu Yichen, "Brother Chen, are you busy?"

"Just finished a meeting. What made you think of calling me?"

He was planning to joke with his wife, but hearing the car sounds, his intuition told him something was definitely up, "Qiaoqiao, where are you now?"

Luo Qiao glanced at the rearview mirror and saw a car with a Capital City license plate following her at a steady pace, "I’m heading towards the Capital Suburb Yi Pin Base. There’s been a car with a Capital City plate following me neither too far nor too close."

"I felt someone was watching me during rounds earlier, probably the people you mentioned. I was afraid of hurting anyone in the hospital, so I took leave and drove out. To avoid suspicion, I’m heading towards the Yipin Base."

"Don’t be afraid. I’ll be there right away."

"You don’t need to hurry over. These people wouldn’t harm me if they want to use me against you. You should just bring people over to catch them."

"Qiaoqiao, listen to me. Those people have blood on their hands. You can’t underestimate them. You must wait for me before taking any action."
