Neither Mo Cheng'an nor Zhao Qi knew that Yun Bei had taken the afternoon off. After get off work, the two returned to the courtyard one after the other.

Thinking that Yunbei would be eliminated today, the two were very happy and took out a bottle of red wine to celebrate.

They didn't eat in the hospital cafeteria that night, but instead brought their food back home. Zhao Qi had a pot, so they just heated it up a bit. Although the food wouldn't taste as good after being heated up, it didn't matter to them.

Because in their opinion, it didn't matter if the food tasted a little worse. What mattered was that Yunbei was dead and their secret was kept.

But what they didn't know was that those people who had been freezing outside for most of the day but didn't wait for their target were on their way back.

It's not even the end of the first lunar month yet and the weather is still cold. You can imagine how it feels to stay in the wild for several hours.

It was also their bad luck. They thought Yunbei would not get off work until 5 o'clock, so they would be able to wait for him if they went at 4:30. However, they did not expect Yunbei to take a leave, and she and Si Nanzhao returned to the army before 4 o'clock, so they missed him.

In fact, this was a lucky thing for them. Otherwise, if they met Si Nanzhao and Yunbei, they would definitely not have a good ending.

Not to mention Si Nanzhao's fighting power, just the poison from Yun Bei was enough for them to bear.

Yunbei can even make them die silently without leaving even a trace.

Therefore, not only did Yunbei escape a disaster, but they also did. Because if they really faced each other, they would definitely not be Yunbei's opponent.

But they didn't know that it was Mo Cheng'an's fault that his information was not accurate enough, causing them to wait for several hours in vain.

Just as Mo Cheng'an and Zhao Qi raised their glasses and prepared to celebrate, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

When they heard the knock on the door, their hearts tightened, and then Mo Cheng'an got up to open the door.

When he saw that the people who came were the ones he had found, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brothers, it's done."

"Get your mother's head." The leader Zhang Meng started cursing at Mo Cheng'an, saying, "You said she would get off work at five o'clock, so we went to wait for her at four thirty. But it's already seven o'clock and she still hasn't shown up. We didn't see her, but we are freezing to death. Tell me, how are you going to compensate you brothers?"

"Brother Zhang, don't be angry. I didn't lie to you, she really does get off work at five. Unless she's taken a day off, it's impossible that we can't wait for her. Otherwise, let's put it this way. We've worked hard today. This is a little gift for you, just for a drink."

Seeing Mo Cheng'an being so understanding, Zhang Meng's face brightened. He said, "Since you are sensible, I won't bother with you. Let's wait for another day tomorrow. If we can't find anyone, don't blame me for being rude to you."

"Okay, okay, don't worry. I'll keep a close eye on her tomorrow. Once she leaves the hospital, I'll send a message to you guys, okay?"

"You're smart."

Zhang Meng took the money and left with his brothers in satisfaction.

Zhao Qi was in the room, and although she didn't go out, she heard what they said. When she learned that Yun Bei was fine, her mood instantly turned bad.

She originally thought Yunbei was dead, but she didn't expect that she was still alive. Every day Yunbei lived was a threat to her.

So when Mo Cheng'an entered the room, she asked directly: "Cheng'an, are those people you found reliable? Could it be that they didn't go at all?"

"No, they're paid for their work, and their reputation in the underworld is pretty good. I guess the problem lies with Yunbei. She might have taken the day off today."

"It's also my fault for not paying attention. Otherwise, Brother Zhang and the others wouldn't have made this trip in vain."

"Let me keep an eye on her tomorrow. I can't rest easy until I get rid of her."

"Okay, then you have to keep an eye on it. Otherwise, Brother Zhang will have a bad temper."

"Don't worry." Since it was related to his own secret, Zhao Qi naturally took it to heart.

"Let's eat, the food is getting cold."

The two picked up their chopsticks and began to eat dinner. As for the celebratory wine, no one mentioned it again.

Besides, the bandits were still walking on the mountain road after dark. Therefore, the news that Liu Heihu was captured by Si Nanzhao had not yet reached the troops or the fisherman's ears.

Therefore, when Li Zhigang saw that Si Nanzhao and his men returned safely, he felt a little uncomfortable.

He thought that this time, even if Si Nanzhao didn't die, he would be captured by the bandits and taken to the mountains to be tortured.

But who would have thought that he would come back safe and sound.

Although he was unhappy, he did not show it and even praised Si Nanzhao a few words.

Si Nanzhao accepted Li Zhigang's praise graciously, and mentioned in passing that he had captured Liu Heihu.

Li Zhigang was shocked to hear that Liu Heihu was captured by Si Nanzhao. He asked with a smile, "Captain Si, this is not a joke."

The reason why Li Zhigang thought Si Nanzhao was joking was because he did not bring Liu Heihu back.

"Commissar Li, I'm not kidding. If you don't believe me, you can ask other people to see if what I said is true."

Li Zhigang's eyes fell on Si Nanzhao's face, hoping to find any trace of lying. However, he was disappointed. Si Nanzhao had a frank expression.

Therefore, he believed his words to the point of 90%. So he asked directly, "Since you have captured Liu Heihu, where is he? Why didn't you bring him back? If you say that, it will be difficult for me to report to the higher-ups."

"Commissar Li, Liu Heihu has a special identity. I've hidden him in a safe place. I plan to find some time to interrogate him and pry some information out of him."

"Nonsense! Since you knew he had a special identity, why didn't you bring him back? Is it safer out there than in the military?"

Political Commissar Li pretended to be angry, but in fact he was very panicked. He was afraid that Si Nanzhao would really ask something from Liu Heihu.

"Now, I order you to bring Liu Heihu back immediately. I will personally interrogate him then."

However, Si Nanzhao refused outright, saying, "Commissar Li, I'm sorry I can't agree to this. I'm afraid Liu Heihu will be silenced the moment he steps in."

"Are you doubting the troops?"

"Shouldn't we be suspicious? Otherwise, why do we always fail to achieve any success in suppressing the bandits, and even suffer heavy losses? I suspect there are spies from the bandits in the army."

"If he knew we had captured Liu Heihu, we would either rescue him or kill him to silence him. Since the army is large, it would not be easy to rescue Liu Heihu, so we would have to kill him to silence him.

"I don't want Liu Heihu to die without getting any information. Therefore, I hid him outside for his own safety."

"You are really awesome!" Political Commissar Li pointed at Si Nanzhao, his hands shaking with anger.

Si Nanzhao knew that Political Commissar Li was angry, but he didn't care. He was also suspicious of him and considered him one of the suspects.
