Over here, Sheng Zexi was also discussing with Gu Jianing the group of people who intended to harm Xingxing and Yueyue.
Based on their deductions, this group consisted of at least four individuals.
“The problem now is, we still don’t know where they’re hiding?” Sheng Zexi frowned.
However, Gu Jianing suddenly remembered the tool she had purchased.
She had originally bought it to locate Xingxing and Yueyue’s whereabouts. Now, if used to find Aunt Zhou and her group, it wasn’t entirely impossible.
After hesitating for a moment, Gu Jianing said, “I might have a way to find out where they are.”
Sheng Zexi looked up at her.
Gazing at Ningning, all his words were conveyed in silence.
He knew that by saying this, Ningning intended to use her special ability.
Truthfully, if possible, Sheng Zexi didn’t want Ningning to overuse that ability.
But…
That group of people was now like venomous snakes lurking in the shadows.
If they weren’t found soon,
It was very likely that Ningning, Xingxing, Yueyue, and others could be in danger.
Moreover, there was no telling whether they might take advantage of the typhoon to act.
After all, if they were truly from R Country, there was no telling what atrocities they might commit.
“Will it harm you in any way?” Sheng Zexi asked.
His first concern was still for Gu Jianing.
Gu Jianing shook her head. “No.”
“…Alright, then give it a try.”
“Okay.”
The process was actually quite simple.
Here, Sheng Zexi watched as Ningning closed her eyes after he agreed.
It seemed only about ten seconds passed before she opened her eyes again and recited a very specific address to him.
“I don’t know if the others are hiding in the same place, but that Aunt Zhou is definitely at this location,” Gu Jianing said.
The electronic map required either a name or access to brainwaves to locate someone.
The brainwaves had to conjure an image of the person.
In other words, she had to have at least seen the person before.
Apart from Aunt Zhou, Gu Jianing had never met the others, so she couldn’t visualize them.
But Aunt Zhou was someone she could picture.
Sheng Zexi was slightly surprised. “That’s all it takes?”
Just ten seconds.
Gu Jianing: “Ah, that’s it. What else?”
Sheng Zexi was both amused and exasperated.
He patted Gu Jianing’s head. It seemed Ningning’s abilities were even more extraordinary than he had imagined.
How fortunate he was to have a Ningning with such fairy-like skills.
Once they had the address,
Sheng Zexi didn’t waste any time.
He immediately contacted Chen Han and relayed the address, instructing him to organize a team to arrest them right away.
They couldn’t afford to delay, lest the group relocate their hiding spot.
As for how Sheng Zexi knew the address,
He certainly wouldn’t tell Chen Han that it was obtained through Ningning’s special abilities.
He simply said that someone had anonymously informed him through certain channels.
Naturally, Chen Han believed him.
He then mobilized a team to make the arrests!
Over at Huansha Island Military Base,
Due to the severe typhoon, most of the soldiers had been dispatched for defense and rescue operations.
As a result, the base was largely empty.
On the other hand, the military wives had more free time.
“Don’t you think Dr. Gu is truly amazing? Not only is her medical skill outstanding, but she also predicted the typhoon three days in advance—and even accurately called it a severe typhoon. She’s more capable than the meteorological department in our military district!”
“I always said Dr. Gu isn’t the type to spout nonsense. She must have been certain before speaking up.”
“Thankfully, the military district believed her and took timely defensive measures, evacuating many people. Who knows what could have happened otherwise?”
“Exactly! This time, all those who were rescued owe Dr. Gu a huge debt of gratitude.”
“Dr. Gu is truly beautiful inside and out.”
“Before, I thought Dr. Gu was spoiled, letting Regiment Commander Sheng handle everything at home. But now? I think—if I were Regiment Commander Sheng, I’d spoil her too, given how outstanding she is.”
“Yeah, if Dr. Gu were my wife—so beautiful, so talented and capable—I’d dote on her and love her too.”
Zhang Qiumei, her barely noticeable baby bump protruding, stepped out after dinner for a walk and overheard the military wives’ chatter.
Her face instantly darkened.
What was wrong with these people?
Were they all spineless fence-sitters?
Before the typhoon hit, hadn’t they all been criticizing Gu Jianing?
Saying that as a doctor, she had no business meddling in meteorological affairs—
That she was pretending to know things she didn’t.
Hadn’t they all mocked her, saying she was just making baseless claims?
So why were they now singing her praises just because the typhoon had arrived?
Was Gu Jianing the only kind and beautiful one?
Was everyone else so inferior in comparison?
Without a doubt, Zhang Qiumei was consumed by jealousy and hatred toward Gu Jianing.
If not for Gu Jianing, she would be the dazzling college student married to a handsome, promising officer.
Instead, she had lost her chance at higher education and was now stuck marrying an old man who reeked of decay.
But…
No matter how outstanding Gu Jianing was,
She probably wouldn’t be in high spirits today.
After all…
What mother could stay happy upon hearing news of her children’s deaths?
Especially two children.
She might even be so grief-stricken that she’d suffer a difficult labor.
It’d be best if she died along with the baby.
Then Sheng Zexi would become a widower.
If she couldn’t have him, why should any other woman?
Him becoming a widower was the ideal outcome.
The only thing was…
Zhang Qiumei didn’t dare pry for information, afraid of exposing herself, so she had no idea how Gu Jianing was doing now.
Of course, she was eagerly awaiting news of Gu Jianing’s death—mother and child both.
But…
She wasn’t sure about Gu Jianing’s current situation.
What she did know was that those two little brats of hers, Xingxing and Yueyue, were definitely dead.
After all, she had personally watched them being lured out of the military district.
She had explicitly instructed Aunt Zhou to drown them at the shore and stage it as an accident.
In such severe typhoon weather,
Two toddlers wandering outside—drowning would seem like a tragically plausible accident.
By now, Sheng Zexi was probably frantically searching for them.
As for Aunt Zhou…
Zhang Qiumei had told her to leave immediately after drowning the children, without reporting back.
The farther she fled, the better—no witnesses, no traces of their connection.
Since Aunt Zhou hadn’t shown up, Zhang Qiumei assumed the deed was done.
But just then, faint, familiar childish voices seemed to reach her ears.
She looked up—
And when she saw the two small figures emerging from the dimness, her eyes bulged wide.
The entire person seemed to be startled, screaming, “Ghost!”
