Chapter 141 Something happened

Gao Qingmiao had no idea her sister was coming.

When the gate creaked, I thought a thief had broken in, so I grabbed a broom and hid behind the gate.

Then I saw a familiar figure approaching, carrying shopping bags.

"Sister?" Gao Qingmiao exclaimed in surprise.

The person in the courtyard grunted, "Open the door."

Gao Qingmiao quickly opened the door, put down the broom, and skillfully took the shopping bag from her.

"Sis, what brings you here? When did you arrive? What did you buy?"

The young man curiously peeked into the bag; it looked like a red garment.

and many more!

Why is there a marriage certificate?

Gao Qingmiao glanced at the woman behind her changing into slippers in surprise. Seeing her teasing smile, she quickly took out the marriage certificate she had casually put in her bag to check it.

Holy crap! It's a real marriage certificate!

Gao Qinghe chuckled: "If it's not real, then is it fake?"

"No way," Gao Qingmiao thought, looking at the man's name on the marriage certificate and the photo of the two of them, her feelings complicated.

"Aren't you going to congratulate me?" Gao Qinghe went to the kitchen and rummaged through the cupboards, but there was nothing to eat.

However, there was an uncut watermelon on the table.

She ordered her younger brother to cut a melon, then snatched the marriage certificate and took it to her room to hide it.

"I asked you to inquire about renting a place, any news yet?"

To help Huang Yanqiu rent a house, she went through all the connections she knew in the county.

Lu Gaoming, Xiao Zhang, Sister Hong, the noodle shop owner, the old man at the newsstand, the gatekeeper of the compound, and Gao Qingmiao.

Gao Qingmiao cut the melon into small pieces, put in toothpicks, and placed it on the coffee table.

"I've got it, I was just about to tell you."

Gao Qingmiao shook the water off her hands, opened the drawer under the coffee table, and took out a piece of paper with an address written on it.

“A relative of the noodle shop owner has an old house he built himself. It’s a two-story brick and wood building that has been vacant for several years. The house is in worse condition than ours, but the rent is the same.”

Gao Qingmiao hasn't had time to see the small building yet, but the noodle shop owner said that the house is in very poor condition. It would be good if it could be rented out, but if it can't, it will just remain there. There's no need to have too many expectations for the house.

Fearing her sister would dislike it, Gao Qingmiao said, "There aren't many empty houses in the county town, and many people are unwilling to rent them out because they're afraid of the hassle. Why don't you let Huang Yanqiu take a look first? If she can stay there, she can stay temporarily."

"correct!"

I remembered something, something about myself.

Gao Qingmiao asked excitedly, "Sister, do you know which organization owns those two-story detached shops near the back gate of the county's No. 1 Middle School?"

This wasn't a question; it was an attempt to keep the conversation in suspense.

Gao Qinghe shook her head while eating watermelon, "Spit it out!"

Gao Qingmiao clicked her tongue, thinking, "This is so boring."

But he still honestly continued, "We always thought those storefronts belonged to the school, but we never expected them to belong to the cotton mill."

Gao Qinghe: "And then?"

Gao Qingmiao: "They're going to do some kind of asset restructuring or something. Anyway, there's been some news that the cotton mill plans to sell these storefronts!"

Gao Qinghe became interested. "What's the price? Are all the paperwork complete? Can we get the certificate? Are you selling only the right to use the storefront, or the land along with it?"

Gao Qingmiao had gathered half the information: the paperwork was definitely complete and she could get the certificate, but she didn't know the price yet.

As for the land, he'll have to inquire about it further.

"Don't bother asking around," Gao Qinghe said. "Just go to the cotton mill and ask the person in charge of this matter."

Otherwise, by the time Gao Qingmiao finds out, it will be too late.

Gao Qingmiao thought about it and it seemed to make sense. If even a small vendor like herself, who had a stall on the pedestrian street, had heard the news, then those who knew people inside probably already knew.

However, Gao Qinghe felt there was no need to worry too much.

While storefront properties are in high demand, there aren't many people who can afford to buy them outright these days.

According to her estimate, after all the bribes, it would definitely cost at least ten thousand yuan.

The siblings discussed the specific arrangements again, and it was already past midnight. "Time to sleep," Gao Qinghe yawned repeatedly. She finished eating the watermelon, washed her face and hands, and prepared to go to bed.

Gao Qingmiao couldn't help but confirm again, "Sister, you and brother-in-law really got your marriage certificate?"

Gao Qinghe rolled her eyes at him. Of course, she had seen the marriage certificate; how could it be fake?

Gao Qingmiao choked. It was so sudden! He wasn't mentally prepared to become a brother-in-law!

However, seeing the smiles on her sister's face, she reluctantly said, "Congratulations."

Gao Qinghe pinched her younger brother's chin. "Thank you, goodnight."

"Good night," Gao Qingmiao said curtly.

How did my sister get married?
The young man couldn't understand it and was unwilling to accept this fact. He buried his head under his pillow, and a feeling of reluctance welled up inexplicably.

I'm sad and want to cry.
"Bang bang bang!"

In the middle of the night, the iron gate was violently pounded on.

Gao Qinghe and her brother woke up instantly.

"Go take a look!" Gao Qinghe called to Gao Qingmiao.

Gao Qingmiao quickly got out of bed, put on her slippers, and because of the hot weather, she was only wearing a pair of shorts and went to open the door with her shirt off.

"uncle?"

Seeing that it was the security guard on duty, Gao Qingmiao was filled with confusion.

The man asked anxiously, "Is your sister there? Someone is looking for her, it's urgent, please get her to answer the phone quickly!"

"Huh?" Gao Qingmiao was still a little confused.

Gao Qinghe had already run out of the house.

"Who's looking for me?"

The phone call at this moment filled her with an indescribable sense of panic.

The man couldn't explain it clearly, only that it was a man.

male?

For a moment, Gao Qinghe couldn't think of anyone else besides her father.

But what could possibly happen at home?

Filled with unease and suspicion, Gao Qinghe ran all the way to the guardhouse.

Before the call ended, Gao Qinghe answered, "Hello? This is Gao Qinghe."

A familiar yet unexpected voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Miss Gao, something's happened to the boss, you need to come over right away!"

Upon hearing Fang Xiaoyu's words, Gao Qinghe's heart skipped a beat.

She gazed at the pitch-black night outside the guardhouse window, then looked back at the clock on the wall; it was 3:30 a.m.

Did something happen to Jiang Baohai at this time?

How could he have gotten into an accident?
They were perfectly fine when they first broke up!
Gao Qinghe couldn't remember whether she had hung up the phone or not.

She ran all the way home, not even having time to change out of her pajamas, stuffed a wad of cash hidden deep in the closet into her bag, grabbed the keys, and tossed them to Gao Qingmiao, who had followed her.
"Lock the door, get to the county hospital! Hurry!"

Upon hearing that it was the county hospital, Gao Qingmiao felt a chill run down her spine. She hastily put on her vest and sweatpants, locked the hospital gate, and went to chase after Gao Qinghe.

She ran incredibly fast, as if she were fleeing for her life.

Gao Qingmiao used all her strength to catch up.

In less than ten minutes, the siblings rushed into the emergency department lobby of the county hospital.

Fang Xiaoyu was going through various procedures when Gao Qinghe arrived so quickly that he didn't even have time to react before she grabbed him.

Gao Qinghe immediately noticed the fresh bloodstains on Fang Xiaoyu's clothes.

Her intuition told her that this blood came from Jiang Baohai.

Gao Qinghe's mind went blank, her vision went black, and she almost lost her balance.

She quickly gripped Fang Xiaoyu's arm, took a deep breath, and calmed herself down.

He asked in a deep voice, "Fang Xiaoyu, what happened?!"
