After looking around for a while, Zuo Xiangnan hesitated for a moment. Just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard the sound of a car at the door.

Turning around, he saw a jeep parked outside. Zuo Xiangnan knocked on the door, "Jiang Qiao, someone's here! Come out and see!"

Jiang Qiao got up and quickly pushed the door open. She was stunned when she saw the two people walking in.

Liu Zhanyu led a boy in. If Jiang Qiao remembered correctly, the boy should be Jiang Ming. He had grown up, but judging from his expression, he didn't seem very happy.

"Jiang Ming, what brings you here?"

Upon seeing Jiang Qiao, Jiang Ming broke free from Liu Zhanyu's hand, ran a few steps, and threw himself into Jiang Qiao's arms.

"elder sister--"

Holding the little boy, Jiang Qiao didn't know what to say. She could say, "I'm not your sister, you should call me Grandma." However, that wasn't the point. Because, in that voice, besides joy, there seemed to be some grievance mixed in.

Pulling Jiang Ming aside, and looking again, good heavens, the child was crying.

"Jiang Ming, what brings you here? Aren't you staying home for the New Year?"

It would have been better if they hadn't mentioned it; hearing Jiang Qiao's words made the child cry even harder.

Liu Zhanyu sighed, "Qiao'er, let's go back inside and talk. Jiang Ming, don't cry. Your sister Qiao'er is here. Your Uncle Song has already gone back to resolve this matter, so don't worry."

Jiang Qiao's heart sank immediately. "Something happened to the old director?"

Liu Zhanyu nodded with a gloomy face. "Let's talk inside—"

Standing to the side, Zuo Xiangnan also became nervous. Had something happened to Jiang Jinyu?

This is not good news. "Jiang Qiao, you guys come inside and talk. I'm going out for a stroll."

After saying that, he took off running; he had to tell his grandfather.

Jiang Qiao sighed and put her arm around Jiang Ming as they went into the house. "Come on, sit on the kang (heated brick bed). Are you tired? Have some water and something to eat."

Jiang Ming shook his head. "Sister, I'm not hungry. I have a letter Grandpa wrote for you here. Take a look at the letter first."

Jiang Qiao's eyes stung when she saw Jiang Ming pull a still-warm letter from his inner pocket.

Liu Zhanyu sighed, remained silent, poured tea for himself and Jiang Ming, and the two of them ate something.

It wasn't that Jiang Ming didn't want to take the child out for a meal, but he was anxious to see Jiang Qiao, so the two of them had to come on an empty stomach.

After reading the letter, Jiang Qiao remained silent for a long time. The letter didn't say what was going on, but only asked her to take care of Jiang Ming for the time being, and also told her not to interfere.

But who is Jiang Jinyu? He's her own second brother. If she had no memory of this life, she probably wouldn't have cared about this.

But she clearly has memories, and she clearly knows that he is her second brother from her previous life. Both of her brothers are gone, and she only has this one left. How can she not care?

"Old Liu, tell me, what exactly happened? Everything was fine before, how could something suddenly go wrong? There wasn't a single sign."

Liu Zhanyu didn't know much about this matter; all he knew was what he'd heard from Song Shutian.

"Jiang Qiao, you've been working here all this time, so you don't know what's going on. Before, the old director was in poor health but still held onto this position, which some people were already complaining about."

However, none of that is the main point. Well, this time, for some reason, someone anonymously reported and accused the old director of colluding with the enemy.

We've been trying to catch Lone Wolf for so many years, and who knows how long it will take to catch Cobra? I've never seen such inefficient work.

In addition, photos of the old director with certain people were also provided. As you know, the old director once fought on the secret front. Given that he was in that kind of environment, it is normal for him to take photos with people. However, some people made a fuss about this and insisted that it was evidence that he was a traitor.

Furthermore, this time, Xiao Song's suggestion to integrate those reformed personnel to participate in our case-solving has also become an excuse for the other side to frame us. Some people suspect that the cobra might actually be our old director—”

Jiang Qiaoqi slammed his fist on the kang (a heated brick bed). "Nonsense! If Jiang Jinyu were an enemy, would he have waited until now?"

That lone wolf has long since vanished; why would it wait for us to catch it?

Besides, do those people really think Lone Wolf and Cobra are idiots? If they were idiots, would the people over there have entrusted them with such an important task of infiltrating? Why don't these people think before they speak?

They thought that such people were so easy to catch, so why didn't they catch them themselves?

When others are arrested, they're accused of all sorts of problems. What kind of mentality is that? Do they really think it's easy for us? How many people have sacrificed their lives on this front? Do they really think we have nothing to do every day and are just playing around with them?

"Hmph, they really dare to think that Jiang Jinyu is a cobra. What kind of brains do they have? If Jiang Jinyu were a cobra, the world would have turned upside down long ago—"

Jiang Qiao got angrier and angrier as she spoke. Anyone would be angry in her shoes. If Jiang Jinyu had a problem, none of them could escape.

Jiang Ming nervously grabbed Jiang Qiao's hand. "Sister, my grandfather is a good person. He's not a bad person."

Jiang Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, took the child's hand and said, "Yes, your grandfather is a good person. If anyone asks in the future, you can proudly tell them that your grandfather is a good person."

If your grandfather were a bad person, who would bear to let their grandson be kidnapped, left to wander the streets, and almost lose his life? What kind of people are these? They act without thinking, believing whatever others say.

Liu Zhanyu gave a wry smile. "You know that sometimes, black can be made to look white, and you can't even argue back, otherwise they'll say you're just making excuses."

However, this matter is still under investigation. Listen to me, don't act impulsively, we must trust the organization—”

Jiang Qiao snorted coldly, "How can you expect me to believe that once this matter is settled, there's any possibility of us turning things around?"

Furthermore, I suspect that the enemy has tampered with this matter. In fact, the fact that we are pursuing them so closely has probably frightened them.

"Old Liu, have someone investigate who wrote this letter."

"We've already investigated again, so don't worry about that. Also, you have to listen to me and not act impulsively. Even if you go there, it won't solve anything. Without substantial evidence, it will only make things worse."

Perhaps the old director has already sensed something amiss and is preparing to use himself as bait?

Jiang Qiao gave a wry smile. "The old director wouldn't go to such lengths, would he? Using him as bait? Impossible."

Think about it, if something happens to him, what will become of us?

Furthermore, how much do the people investigating the special envoy and Cobra really know?

We've been through so much together all these years, we know each other best, and our teamwork is incredibly smooth. I really can't imagine what it would be like with a different group of people.

Liu Zhanyu also knew that Jiang Qiao was not being arrogant. Over the years, they had already gone through countless battles with their opponents. If they were to replace someone and start from scratch, it would be quite difficult.
