Chapter 515 There's not a single word from Gu Nan's side.
Su Niannian said she had something to discuss with Chief Lu.
The guard at the gate didn't let Su Niannian in; instead, he sent someone in first to deliver a message.
Su Niannian waited in the guard room for a while, and then Chief Lu's bodyguard came over in person.
Upon seeing Su Niannian, Chief Lu's bodyguard greeted her and then led her inside.
It was quite a coincidence that Chief Lu had just returned to his office not long ago; he had been at the secret base handling matters.
As soon as Su Niannian entered, she saw Chief Lu leaning wearily against the chair.
When Chief Lu saw Su Niannian coming over, he asked her to sit down first and had someone pour her some water.
"Niannian, what brings you here?" Chief Lu asked Su Niannian with a loving smile.
Although he was smiling, it was hard to hide his exhaustion.
Su Niannian didn't mince words and directly asked Chief Lu if there was any news about Gu Nan.
Commander Lu rubbed his forehead. "They've been at the border for a day or two now, and they should still be on a mission."
"Just stay put and don't think too much. Your grandfather is over there too, so Gu Nan will definitely be fine," Chief Lu said.
His voice also betrayed his exhaustion.
He hasn't had a proper rest these past few days and feels like his body is completely exhausted.
Su Niannian walked over to Chief Lu and took his pulse.
“You must not have had a proper rest these past few days; your body is sending out warning signals,” Su Niannian said.
Then he pulled a small section of ginseng root from his pocket and put it into Chief Lu's teacup.
Of course, I also added a little bit of spiritual spring water.
"Drink some ginseng water to replenish your energy," Su Niannian said with a smile.
"I have something to drink. It's the one you brought last time, and I drank it." Chief Lu smiled and took it.
Then took a sip.
I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but Chief Lu felt that the tea tasted a little sweet after Su Niannian added ginseng roots.
“Gu Nan left in a bit of a hurry this time. I’ve been feeling uneasy these past two days, so I wanted to come and ask you about it,” Su Niannian said with a smile.
Chief Lu nodded. "It's alright. Your man is capable. What could possibly happen to him?"
"The situation over there wasn't serious to begin with. He went there with Zhou Qishan, and after completing the mission, he'll be back soon," Chief Lu said with a smile.
Su Niannian's smile froze for a moment.
Based on Su Niannian's guess, the situation at the border must be very serious. Now that Chief Lu is telling her it's not serious, he's probably trying to comfort her.
But Su Niannian also knew that if it wasn't something serious, Chief Lu wouldn't have said that to her.
Su Niannian's unease grew stronger.
Seeing Su Niannian like this, Chief Lu smiled and offered a few words of comfort.
"You're pregnant now, so you must take good care of your health."
"Gu Nan and the others will be back once they finish their business. If you need anything in the meantime, feel free to come to me."
"As for them, you don't need to worry. Gu Nan has carried out this kind of mission many, many times before, so they'll be fine."
The more Chief Lu said this, the more worried Su Niannian became.
Moreover, recalling what Commander Lu said at the beginning, they should have been at the border for a day or two.
The timeline was vague; perhaps they lost contact with Chief Lu after they arrived there.
Thinking of this, Su Niannian became even more uneasy.
Having already received the results, Su Niannian knew there was no point in staying any longer. After telling Chief Lu to rest more and take care of his health, Su Niannian took her leave.
After Su Niannian left, a man in military uniform entered Chief Lu's office.
"Still no news?" Chief Lu asked.
"No!" the man in military uniform replied.
Commander Lu rubbed his forehead, feeling a sudden headache.
Logically, once Gu Nan and his group reached the border, they should have been able to send a message back.
However, it has been a day or two, and not only has Gu Nan not sent back any news, but Old Man Bai has not sent back any news either.
Logically speaking, after Old Man Bai arrived there, he would go directly to the military hospital there.
The military hospital can contact you.
Even if there's no news from Gu Nan, Old Man Bai will definitely call him.
When Chief Lu contacted the military hospital there, he received no news of Old Man Bai's arrival.
It's been a day or two already, how come there's still no news?!
Chief Lu was also quite flustered.
"Send a second group of people over there," Chief Lu continued.
"Okay!" the man in military uniform replied, gave a military salute, and left the office.
The old leader walked wearily to the window, looked at the sunlight outside, and thought that he hoped things wouldn't get too bad.
Su Niannian returned to the Gu family home, had lunch, and then went back to her room and entered the space.
The message I left for Gu Nan in the space still hasn't received a reply.
Su Niannian felt more uneasy than ever before.
After leaving the space, Su Niannian made up her mind to set off for the border to find Gu Nan.
She knew that doing this might worry those who cared about her, but she was more worried about Gu Nan.
Su Niannian approached Gu's mother and said, "Mother, I'm planning to go on a long trip." Su Niannian smiled and tried her best to act as if she were speaking to Gu's mother as usual.
"Hmm? Niannian, where are you going?"
"You're pregnant now, and Gu Nan isn't home..." Gu's mother asked with some concern.
Su Niannian thought for a moment, "I had a patient in Long County before. His condition is very bad now. His son sent me a telegram, hoping that I could go and see his father."
Su Niannian said with a smile.
Gu's mother grabbed Su Niannian's hand, "Niannian, let them find a doctor over there to take a look."
“Gu Nan isn’t home right now, and you’re pregnant. I don’t want you to go to such a far place with your big belly.”
"If anything unexpected happens along the way, I couldn't afford to pay for it even with my life," said Gu's mother, holding Su Niannian's hand.
Actually, Gu's mother wasn't stupid. In the morning, Su Niannian went to see Chief Lu, and now she's back at noon saying she's going to Long County.
What is Long County? It's a rural area in Northeast China.
Gu Nan had heard Su Niannian mention the location of his mission, which was along the northeastern border.
It must be that Su Niannian went to see Chief Lu today but didn't get any news about Gu Nan, or something happened to Gu Nan, which is why Su Niannian wanted to go see Gu Nan.
It must be dangerous over there that made Su Niannian want to go.
Since it's dangerous, I absolutely cannot let Su Niannian go!
