Gu Qiaoqiao took a deep breath and reached out to wipe away the tears on her face. Her slightly blurry gaze turned to the quiet Qin Yize lying on the hospital bed, and a sharp pain arose anew. Her hand clutched the sweater at her chest, forcing herself to calm down. Then, she asked in a deep voice, "Grandpa Luo, can you get in touch with Elder Shen?"
"I can reach him. Do you want to call him now?"
"Yes, there's something I want to discuss with him."
Gu Qiaoqiao didn't know the details of the task, but she knew Elder Shen was once Qin Yize's direct superior. Although she wasn't sure of their current status, she believed they must still have some connection, given Elder Shen's high standing in Huaxia Xinguo and Qin Yize's role as a key protégé.
She could seek out others, but Gu Qiaoqiao preferred to approach Elder Shen directly, minimizing unnecessary trouble.
"Alright, Qiaoqiao, you don't need to call him. I'll have Elder Shen call you."
