Qiao Wanyue didn't take this family's antics to heart; they were just strangers who had met by chance, and they wouldn't have any further contact in the future.

Lu Rong needs to recuperate in the hospital for a few days, and the espionage investigation also requires Qiao Wanyue's assistance. The Public Security Bureau has assigned special personnel to protect the three of them, and they will stay here for a few days as well.

The next day, the people from the Northern Military Region received the news. They were all surprised to hear that Lu Rong and Qiao Wanyue had been retaliated against, and they made sure to take precautions when they arrived.

They had actually made some preparations before leaving, keeping Lu Rong and Qiao Wanyue's departure a secret and asking them to leave discreetly. But they didn't expect this to happen; it was their mistake.

The visitor was an officer from the military region. Wei Jun and Mu Fan both expressed their concern, but they couldn't come because of their mission. The visitor also expressed Chief Wen's apology, saying that it was his poor arrangements that led to this incident.

Lu Rong knew in her heart that this matter had nothing to do with the military region. Those people were clearly targeting them. If not this time, then next time. They and their mother-in-law had escaped this time, but there would be another time.

She didn't blame the military region; she just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

The visitor had other business to attend to. After asking a few questions in the ward, he left, giving Qiao Wanyue a meaningful look before leaving.

The officer's expression as he left flashed through Qiao Wanyue's mind; he must have something to say to her privately.

"Mom, I'm going out for a bit."

"Go ahead," Lu Rong said without asking what was going on. She had been chatting with someone for a while and was getting tired, so Lu Heng got out of bed and helped her lie down.

Outside the door, Qiao Wanyue walked out and indeed saw the man standing at the end of the corridor.

She walked over, and the man seemed to notice her footsteps, turning his head as she opened her mouth to speak.

"Comrade Qiao, I am Yu Yaoguang, the battalion commander of the Third Battalion of the Northern Military Region. I am here on behalf of Commander Wen to handle this spy incident. Because many people in Rehe are involved, I need you to come with me to the Public Security Bureau for questioning."

Qiao Wanyue nodded.

Yu Yaoguang's gaze was fixed on Qiao Wanyue, whose expression remained unchanged.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Qiao Wanyue went to the police station with him. When they arrived, she found that there were five comrades in military uniforms waiting for her. One of them, a man with a gentle face and a slender figure, kept his eyes on her and paid attention to her every move. Even when she spoke, he would pay attention to her eyelids and micro-expressions.

"Comrade Qiao, did you kill Qu Xiangdong?"

In the cramped interrogation room, five men in military green uniforms sat in a row. Even Yu Yaoguang's face was no longer as gentle as it had been the first time; it was cold, and the entire ward was filled with a strong sense of oppression.

Qiao Wanyue: "Yes."

"As far as we know, Comrade Qiao is just an ordinary citizen. How could he have such strength? Moreover, Qu Xiangdong is a man who has studied judo and martial arts. How could Comrade Qiao be his opponent?" The person who said this was an older officer. His tone was full of doubt and disbelief, and his eyes were sharp and filled with suspicion and distrust.

The image of the bearded man flashed through Qiao Wanyue's mind. She hesitated whether to tell the people in front of her. Her intuition told her that the bearded man was one of their own, but he clearly did not want to reveal his identity when he left.

If she tells these people, and if all five of them are on her side, then otherwise, wouldn't she be harming him?

That person saved her twice; whoever it was, he was Qiao Wanyue's savior.

She can't hurt him.

The five people stared at Qiao Wanyue without moving.

I was afraid I might have missed some changes in her.

Qiao Wanyue felt uncomfortable under their intense gazes, especially from the person who questioned her, who treated her like a prisoner, at their mercy.

"So, who do you think killed him?" Qiao Wanyue met the eyes of the five people with a half-smile. Her smile was tinged with bitterness, and her eyes held a hint of questioning.
