Chapter 170 None of the three brothers escaped.

Pei Jiuyan was called out on short notice the day before yesterday afternoon. Before leaving, he told Qin Suisui that the friend Liu Jianye had mentioned who went to Yunnan Province had returned.

Qin Suisui remembered this incident. When they went to buy stone, Liu Jianye told Grandpa Pei that the knife his friend sold could cut stone as easily as cutting potatoes. They suspected that the knife Liu Jianye mentioned was made of the same material as the two daggers she had taken from the spy's hideout.

This was a very useful clue, so Pei Jiuyan and Chi Donglin had been secretly investigating it for the past few days.

Although Pei Jiuyan had told her before leaving that they were only conducting a covert reconnaissance and would not alert the enemy or pose any danger, Qin Suisui still felt uneasy.

Especially now that National Day is approaching, many people from other places have come to Beijing to watch the mass parade. In such a mixed and chaotic situation, problems are most likely to occur.

When the three women returned from outside and arrived at the security room, Uncle Wang, the same one from last time, was on duty. Upon seeing Qin Suisui, he quickly greeted her, "Comrade Qin, you'll receive a call in three minutes."

What a coincidence!

Logically speaking, not many people would call her, but before Qin Suisui left Qiongtan Island, she gave Su Yunyi and the others the phone number of the family compound in Beijing.

Thinking that something might have happened at the herb garden, and that's why Su Yunyi and the others were unsure, Qin Suisui told Liu Qianyun to take Zanzan back first, while she stayed in the security room to wait for the call.

Sure enough, the phone rang within two minutes, and when it was answered, it was indeed Su Yunyi's voice.

"Sui Sui, how are you all doing in Beijing?" Phone calls are expensive, so Su Yunyi didn't bother with any pleasantries.

Qin Suisui nodded, then, realizing the other person couldn't see, quickly added, "We're fine, Sister Yunyi. Did something happen at the herb garden?"

"No...no, it's just that I've been feeling a bit restless these past couple of days. I called Yunlai's office, but no one answered..."

So that's how it is. I didn't expect Su Yunyi to have the same bad feeling as me.

Qin Suisui hesitated for a moment, but still told him about Song Yunlai and the others going on a mission: "Sister Yunyi, Yunlai and the other two have a temporary mission these past two days. I don't know where they are, but Ayan said they'll be back tonight. I'll have Yunlai call you back when they get back. Don't worry."

While comforting Su Yunyi and telling her not to worry, Qin Suisui was even more confused. Even Su Yunyi, who was far away on Qiongtan Island, had a bad feeling. Could it be that Pei Jiuyan and the others were really going to get into trouble?

That evening, Qin Suisui barely ate any of the braised pork that Pei Huoshan brought back. She was preoccupied with something on her mind and couldn't eat anything.

Tomorrow is National Day, and most people who work or go to school are on holiday. The sounds of children laughing and chatting can be heard throughout the residential compound.

After washing up, Qin Suisui stood by the bedroom window, gazing at the bright moonlight outside, lost in thought for a long time. She only went to bed after Liu Qianyun came over several times to urge her to sleep.

She didn't know how long she had slept, but in her hazy state, she felt the bed next to her sink in a lot, and her body was pulled into an embrace. Qin Suisui's body trembled involuntarily, and she only felt at ease when she smelled the familiar cool fragrance.

"Did I wake you up?" Pei Jiuyan's voice was low and hoarse, tinged with fatigue.

Qin Suisui sat up, turned on the flashlight next to the table, and used the light to check him over from head to toe. She then took his pulse and, after confirming that he was alright, finally felt relieved.

The next morning, before dawn, Qin Suisui woke up. She needed to get up early to watch the mass parade at Tiananmen Square. Fortunately, Pei Jiuyan had returned late last night, which calmed her down, and she slept soundly for the rest of the night, so she didn't feel sleepy at all.

Zan Zan had already gotten up with her grandparents, and the family quickly got ready and went out.

When we arrived at Tiananmen Square, it was just past dawn. The east was barely showing the first light of day, and Tiananmen Square was already ablaze with red flags and filled with the deafening sound of drums and gongs. Both sides of Chang'an Avenue were packed with people who had come from all directions. Fortunately, they had arrived early and secured good spots.

This was the first time Qin Suisui had ever seen such a lively scene. She wrapped her dark blue Lenin suit tighter around herself. Her mother-in-law was right; the morning wind was quite chilly, and the tip of her nose was turning a little red from the wind. Luckily, she was dressed warmly.

"Are you cold? Want some hot water?" Pei Jiuyan looked down at her red nose, unscrewed the cap of his military water bottle and handed it to her. It was hot water he had filled before leaving home that morning and had been keeping it warm in his arms.

Qin Suisui was worried that if she drank too much, it would be inconvenient to go to the toilet later, so she only took a few small sips, but even that made her feel much warmer.

Gradually, more and more people gathered, and the sky gradually brightened. Just as the sun rose, a cheer suddenly erupted from the crowd.

Qin Suisui hurriedly tiptoed to look, and saw that at the end of East Chang'an Street, the first parade formation was marching towards the rising sun, stepping to the melody of "The East Is Red".

The workers, dressed in neat navy blue overalls, each with a face full of high morale, pushed a huge banner with the five golden characters "Learn from Daqing in Industry" shining brightly in the morning sun.

Behind them were several rows of drum teams with red ribbons tied around their necks. Their synchronized movements and thunderous drumbeats made the paving stones under their feet tremble slightly.

This was the first time Qin Suisui had witnessed such a scene of national celebration. She couldn't help but feel extremely excited and unconsciously began to hum along to the music: "The East is Red, the sun rises..."

After the workers' procession finished marching, Qin Suisui was munching on a jujube paste pastry that Pei Jiuyan had handed her. They hadn't had time to eat breakfast in the morning because they were in such a rush to leave.

Suddenly, a clear, childlike voice rang out from afar. A group of Young Pioneers, dressed in red scarves, walked towards them, holding paper flowers and dancing as they went. Qin Suisui noticed that a little girl with pigtails was dancing so enthusiastically that she almost stepped on the cloth shoes of the boy in front of her, eliciting good-natured laughter from the audience.

The mass parade lasted for about two hours, and around 10 o'clock, the crowd began to gradually disperse.

Qin Suisui and the others followed the crowd out, and on the way they ran into Chi Donglin and Song Yunlai.

"Ayan, little sister, on such a joyous day, I'd like to invite you to Quanjude for Peking duck. Are you in?"

Chi Donglin's mother was a head chef at a state-owned restaurant and had a personal relationship with the head chef at Quanjude. He could easily book a table at Quanjude, which was difficult for others to do.

"Let's go! I've been craving roast duck for ages!" Qin Suisui's eyes lit up. Last time she came to Beijing, she had roast duck thanks to her father-in-law, and ever since then she had been longing for the taste. She even wanted to replicate a roasting oven in her space, but the technical difficulty was too high, making it virtually impossible to achieve.

After the group walked around, Qin Suisui looked around and suddenly asked, "Where's Brother Yunlai?"

Chi Donglin lifted Zan Zan high on his shoulders, turned around with a smile, and asked, "Yun Lai? Wasn't Yun Lai following behind us... Hmm? Where is he?"

Pei Jiuyan frowned, about to say something, when he suddenly heard someone scream loudly behind him, followed by a commotion: "Someone fainted! Someone fainted! Call the police quickly!"

"No! Get him to the hospital first..."

Qin Suisui and the others exchanged a glance, then turned and rushed back.

Pushing through the crowd of onlookers, Qin Suisui saw that Song Yunlai, who had been chatting and laughing with them just moments before, was now lying face down on the ground in a disheveled state, as if he had suddenly fainted. However, her nose was very sensitive, and she could faintly smell a bloody odor in the air.

As expected, when Pei Jiuyan helped Song Yunlai up, he saw that there was a tear in his black clothes at the lower abdomen, and blood was gushing out from it. However, because the clothes were dark, it was not very noticeable.

The group quickly took Song Yunlai to the hospital. On the way, Qin Suisui had already checked his pulse. Although they all had their suspicions, their hearts skipped a beat when they heard Qin Suisui say "poisoning." Sure enough, none of the three brothers had escaped the poisoning.

These people were indeed after them, or rather, they were after the technology possessed by the three brothers.

Moreover, Song Yunlai must have been poisoned only in the last few days. Judging from the timeline, he must have been poisoned on Qiongtan Island before coming to Beijing.

It's really interesting. They poisoned him on Qiongtan Island, but then came to the capital to stab him in the back. Is it because they're afraid they won't find out that Song Yunlai has been poisoned?

"No need to take him to the hospital, just come to our house." Qin Suisui made a quick decision as she looked at the blood gushing from Song Yunlai's abdomen.

Pei Jiuyan and Chi Donglin did not hesitate. Having been poisoned themselves, they knew that going to the hospital could only treat the wound, not the poison, so it would be useless. It would be better to have Qin Suisui help them directly and get it done in one go.

Moreover, apart from a few people, no one else knew that Pei Jiuyan and Chi Donglin had been cured of the poison.

Now that Song Yunlai has also been poisoned, the antidote must be administered in a private place.

Everyone understood her meaning, so naturally no one objected.

Liu Qianyun and Pei Huoshan had just returned home and hadn't even changed their clothes when Qin Suisui and the others rushed back in a flurry.

Just as they were about to ask what was going on, they saw that their son was carrying the unconscious Song Yunlai on his back, and their daughter-in-law had put her finger to her lips, gesturing for them to be quiet. The two of them weren't stupid, so they immediately shut their mouths and closed the door.
