Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1149

Chapter 1149: Chapter 1022: Someone Really Passed Away

The days quietly slipped by, the arrival of a big figure was like an insignificant Little Stone thrown into the lake, causing a small ripple before everything went still again.

Although everything seemed to pass smoothly, Zhou Jiao wouldn’t believe that no one had intervened.

Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Xiaozheng frequently going out alone was certainly not by mere chance.

Why were they keeping things from her?

It was nothing but for the protection of the family. Seeing them keep secrets, sometimes showing a slight smugness, demonstrated their confidence, so she could only observe silently.

In this atmosphere, the year seventy-five was about to come to an end...

With the crisis feeling gone in the following year, it was soon July, and Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao were getting anxious over other matters.

The great earthquake they knew from history was about to happen, yet they had no way to prevent it. They had previously risked writing anonymous letters, but what good did it do?

Were they supposed to personally tell the whole world that on the 28th a devastating earthquake would occur in Tang Mountain, a hell on earth?

Would anyone believe them?

Moreover, in this trend, even with the Zhou Family’s authority, even as stable and firm as Zhou Xiaozheng, if they really let slip something mad like that, wouldn’t they be arrested on the spot?

But also, perhaps no one would arrest them, but sending them to a hospital, for example, for mental instability, was certainly inevitable, and they didn’t want to stay in a hospital.

There was also the issue that even if their warning was proved correct in the future, how would they explain the source of this information? It would be inexplicable. Therefore, keeping this secret inside was best.

Zhang Guoqing had long decided that facing this unavoidable earthquake, the only thing he could do was figure out how to minimize casualties.

And if these things relied solely on him, it certainly wouldn’t work, but wasn’t he now at the General Logistics Department? And didn’t he have father-in-law Zhou Xiaozheng?

Zhang Guoqing was determined that this time, not only they would gain fame together with his father-in-law, but crucially, he aimed to gather the greatest ability to save as many people as possible.

In the following days, while Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao began planning their strategy, he frequently kept in touch with Cheng Siyu in Cheng City, several groups nearby the incident site, and old classmates at his units.

Only those acquaintances close to the vicinity could promptly call him to keep the earliest abnormal notices.

He didn’t want nature to give no warnings. Only in this way could he quickly join in the rescue actions. Of course, Zhang Guoqing dared not speak openly to everyone.

Therefore, when Old Mrs. Cheng, returning to Beijing, received a call from her youngest son asking if Xiao Wu was in trouble, she was a bit worried.

Zhang Guoqing couldn’t help but smile wryly at the old lady’s concern. This was why he was cautious about making calls to them, fearing they would overthink. From this, he saw clearly who didn’t have sensitive nerves, making him glad he didn’t naively act as a self-assumed savior.

"Really, there’s nothing? Did Lin Aiguo’s eldest son reach out to your dad?"

Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao exchanged a glance, wondering how Lin Aiguo was involved. With the other side’s transfer and his father-in-law’s promotion, adding the past grievances between the two families, these old war comrades hadn’t been in touch for a long time.

Misinterpreting as hitting the nail on the head, Old Mrs. Cheng frowned, "It seems Old Lin doesn’t have much time left."

Zhou Jiao, without much thought, asked, "A few months ago, Xiao Wu visited him, and he was fine. Last month, my mother went, and he said he was in good spirits."
