Chapter 831: Chapter 704: Alone into the Mountains on a Rainy Night

The call connected, and upon hearing his son pick up, asking sweetly, "Who’s this? Who are you looking for?"

Zhou Jiao’s expression immediately relaxed: "It’s Zhou Jiao. May I ask who you are?"

"Ah, Mom, it’s me, it’s me! Didn’t you recognize me?"

"Let me think; it seems like it’s my son."

"Hahaha, Mom, did you miss me? Where are you now? Grandpa and Dad are not home, Grandma is beside me, and Great-Grandma visited our house just now."

"Really? Mom is still in Jiang City and will only take the train to Lingnan tomorrow. After Mom finishes her work, she’ll come back to be with you. You be good at home and wait for Mom to return."

"Okay, Mom, you be safe. Mom, Grandma wants to talk to you."

"Jiao Jiao, is it you? Don’t wander around outside; it’s getting dark. Go back to the guesthouse early."

"Okay, Mom, tell Dad I’m fine. Is everything okay at home?"

Lin Lishan laughed at the other end of the phone: "You’ve just left, how could anything happen? If there’s nothing, hang up and talk when you return. Everything is fine; you go back to the guesthouse early. Your aunt will find you when you go to Lingnan, remember to contact her."

Zhou Jiao listened to her continuously urging her to return to the guesthouse, smiled, said a few more simple words to them, and hung up immediately. Any more and she could afford the round trip on the train.

After paying, she walked out, and night had already fallen.

Thinking of tonight’s operation, Zhou Jiao felt invigorated. There could not be any mistakes in the forthcoming matter. Even though she had calculated in her mind countless times, careful planning was still necessary.

After walking a while, Zhou Jiao began taking advantage of no one noticing, strolled around residential areas, and then sneaked into a predetermined forest, taking out powdered makeup in the dark to disguise herself.

Worried that couples might be hiding in the forest, she dared not carelessly use a flashlight for the mirror; changing into patched clothing, she quietly emerged.

After a long walk and making sure no one was following her, she retrieved her small car from an unlit area and immediately drove into the city, daring to use a flashlight to examine her makeup and make any necessary adjustments.

Tonight, she could not afford to show any flaws. There might be accidents during the operation, someone might even recognize her.

The consequence could mean eliminating risks entirely. But what if it’s an innocent life? Zhou Jiao didn’t want to easily put someone to death.

Perhaps that person might be the pillar of a family, or maybe they have saved numerous lives. Her disguise might become their lifeline!

Zhou Jiao sighed softly and drove towards the secret chamber her grandmother had mentioned in her will. She silently prayed to heaven for everything to proceed smoothly, hoping to find Zhou Family’s items.

Among the three secret chambers, this one was the most likely to be Zhou Family’s, otherwise, it would be a complete disappointment. Based on their father-daughter speculation, Lingnan was 99% likely to be Gu Family’s.

Marine transportation had to be close to the coastal area, establishing a secret chamber there, so the whole family could escape by ship from Daqing—this suited Gu Family, but wasn’t fitting for Zhou Family.
