Chapter 207 The cub uses a clever trick to turn the military dependents' compound upside down.

After his reminder...

Zhizhi's mind raced as she recalled many of their previous conversations, but for a moment she didn't know where to begin.

"you... ..."

Deng Qiu's weary voice came from outside the door. When she saw Jiang Yan for the first time, she was momentarily dazed, and her eyes instantly reddened.

Why are you only getting back now?

The moment the words left her mouth, Deng Qiu suddenly realized something was wrong.

No! This is not Jiang Anchao.

The real Jiang Anchao would have rushed over the moment he saw her, instead of keeping their distance with such a distant and indifferent gaze.

Deng Qiu's two arched eyebrows furrowed deeply, and her tone became wary, "Jiang Yan, what are you doing here? What are you doing here with the child?"

She immediately shielded Zhizhi, fearing that Jiang Yan would actually try to take the child away from her.

Zhizhi explained quickly, "Mom, he found this in our house!"

Deng Qiu looked in the direction the little cub was pointing, and her mind went blank for a moment.

Is this a bugging device?

She had seen similar items in the newspaper before, but how did this thing end up in her own home?

Oh no, who overheard their conversation at home?

Jiang Yan clapped his hands and sat down on the sofa. "Starting today, I will stay here for a while in place of Jiang Anchao. My good brother is still in the army, but don't worry, he won't be harassed. What you need to do now is cooperate with me. Answer whatever I ask."

Deng Qiu was filled with mixed thoughts, unsure whether to doubt Jiang Yan or listen to him.

But he discovered the listening device...

Could this be a turning point for Kishi's rescue?

Deng Qiu pursed her lips, thought for a long time, and finally nodded, "Okay, ask away."

"Did you discuss Jiang Anchao's identity in this house?"

“Yes, my parents-in-law mentioned it when they came before, and we also mentioned it when you came to threaten to take Zhizhi away.”

Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes and quickly asked, "When was the first time?"

"The first time... ...it should be at the end of September."

Deng Qiu still had a slight impression of this incident, because at that time she had just brought Zhizhi to Suzhou and had just decided to get married and register her marriage with Jiang Anchao.

The students were preparing for the start of the new semester, and she was also preparing to start her new job.

Yes, it's the end of September.

She was certain.

Jiang Yan tapped the table slowly with his index finger. "Then think carefully about what major changes have occurred in the military dependents' home between the end of September and a few days ago? For example, what changes have occurred in Han Yubin's family?"

"Not much has changed..."

While Deng Qiu was still pondering, Zhi Zhi, who was standing next to her, seemed to suddenly remember something. She raised her hand and exclaimed, "I remember now!"

She spoke in a clear voice: "At that time, the people living in the next courtyard were not Uncle Han's family, but Wang Qingshan and Aunt Cuiping. Uncle Han's family hadn't arrived yet. Uncle Han came two months ago, and... Uncle Han's family was very strange."

Things that the little cub had never understood before suddenly seem to have been explained properly.

She started counting on her fingers, recounting the past in detail, "When Uncle Han first moved in, he visited every single household in the entire military dependents' compound. At the time, we thought he was a very thoughtful person, just a good neighbor. But now that I think about it, that wasn't the case. Uncle Han paid special attention to Dad and Uncle Yuan. He knew Dad and Uncle Yuan had a good relationship even before he came, and he even knew their rank perfectly well, and..."

The little cub racked its brains, but couldn't come up with anything else.

But her words also evoked Deng Qiu's memories. Deng Qiu nodded and added, "By the way! Han Yubin specifically asked his daughter to imitate Zhizhi's clothes, speech, and lifestyle. At the time, we thought he wanted to use his daughter's relationship with Zhizhi to get close to the former political commissar's family. But strangely, he seemed to be very well-informed."

Jiang Yan nodded. "That's the crux of the problem. Han Yubin used to live elsewhere, not deep inside the military compound. Many leaders' families live in the military dependents' compound. After all, it's a military compound. Just because you can't find out information in the military doesn't mean you can't find it in the family compound. Behind closed doors, many secrets are shared with family. Since Han Yubin installed listening devices, he couldn't have only installed them in your compound. Let's go! Let's go take a look!"

How do you see it?

Deng Qiu was in a dilemma. If he rashly went to someone else's house to search it, he would most likely be refused.

Zhizhi blinked and suddenly came up with an idea.

"Mommy, watch the nest!"

... ...

"Does anyone want Chinese cabbage or bok choy? Also, Cantonese sausage and Sichuan cured pork. Uncle and Aunt, something happened at Zhizhi's family, and we can't eat these vegetables anymore. Do you need anything? Please take them home."

The little cub, carrying a pile of vegetables and meat, knocked on each door one by one.

Some of the military dependents knew Zhizhi and had a good relationship with her, so they immediately opened the door to welcome her in.

Jiang Yan followed closely behind her, entering the living room step by step.

There are about a hundred families in the military dependents' home, and Zhizhi chose those with relatively high positions.

She would stroll around each household for three or four minutes, taking the opportunity to play the victim and talk about her family's situation.

The uncles and aunts, seeing that she was young and had come to bring food, immediately welcomed her.

After wandering around for more than an hour, we arrived at the last house.

Zhizhi's hand, which was about to knock on the door, suddenly stopped.

Jiang Yan was puzzled. "What's wrong? Why didn't you knock?"

Zhizhi pursed her lips tightly, "You can't go to Uncle Yuan's house."

She turned around and looked at Jiang Yan with a serious expression. "He can tell at a glance that you're not your father. If you go there, you'll definitely be exposed."

Jiang Yan crossed his arms and said in a calm tone, "I just visited nine households. I saw it on the wall clock, behind the TV, and behind the sofa. I guess it's in the last house you mentioned too."

"Then what should we do?"

Jiang Yan bent down to be at eye level with the little cub.

"I'm not going, you go."

"How could I possibly tell?"

The little cub was in a dilemma.

This was the first time Jiang Yan had seen such a vivid and expressive face on her, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

He reached out and gently stroked the child's hair. "You are my child. I believe that with your intelligence, you can definitely tell where the danger zone is. Zhizhi... Go ahead and do it with confidence. Leave the rest to me."

"All right... ..."

Zhizhi took a deep breath and prepared to push the door open and go in.

Just as she took a step, she suddenly turned back.

"...If we find these things, will we be able to get Dad out?"

Jiang Yan paused for a second upon hearing the child's innocent question.

He concealed the evasive look in his eyes and forced a smile. "Of course, we're all doing this to rescue your father."

The bugging device was ultimately used to catch the mole.

As for Jiang Anchao... it's not important. Anyway, Zhizhi will go to a safer place with him, so there's no need to know about these things.
