Qiao Jie casually asked about Jiang Hong and Jiang Ping. Although they all lived in the same courtyard, he hadn't seen the father and daughter for quite some time.

"Sigh, don't even mention it. Jiang Hong has been arrested for allegedly being a spy. As for my uncle, he's nowhere to be found. I haven't seen them in a long time."

I don't know if they're avoiding us, or the people in our yard.

Qiao Jie snorted, "A spy? This Jiang Hong is really bold. In the future, you two should be more careful. If anything happens, don't bear it alone, come and discuss it with us."

Sigh, regarding Jiang Qiao's situation, we can only try to think positively. There's really nothing we can do about it. We don't even know where she is anymore..."

After chatting for a while, the brother and sister went back. Just as they left, Song Zhi and Chen Fang arrived.

The two hadn't made any arrangements, but by chance, they bumped into each other at the door and ended up coming together.

"Grandpa, don't get upset. We can't say for sure how things will turn out. Let's wait until those two injured people wake up before we talk about it. I trust Jiang Qiao; she's not the kind of person who would harm her own people."

Song Zhi gave a wry smile. "Of course the girl isn't that kind of person, but, Lao Chen, shouldn't you send a different group of people to investigate?"

You know, if those two hadn't come to take Qiao'er away, none of this would have happened.

Anyone with a brain can see that Jiang Qiao and her group are fighting to the death with those enemies. At this time, would she really target those two people?

The people had already left with your people, so it doesn't make sense for her to attack them halfway through.

With her skills, if she didn't want to leave, those two really wouldn't dare to do anything to her.

"Well, that's it. Not listening to the elders is paying the price. I think these two were just here to cause trouble. If it weren't for them, Qiao'er wouldn't be like this."

Song Zhi was absolutely blunt in his remarks. What could Chen Fang say? He didn't care about anything except his few subordinates. If his words were effective, Jiang Qiao wouldn't have left today.

"Old Song, please be understanding. I'm helpless. I don't have that much power over personnel appointments. I also hope that Jiang Qiao's matter can be investigated and clarified as soon as possible, but in the current situation, I'm just a small section chief. Who do you think will listen to me?"

Song Zhi patted Chen Fang on the shoulder. "What you said is true, but we need to find a solution to Jiang Qiao's problem. Where is she now? We can't just keep arresting her, can we?"

Shouldn't we clarify whether there's some misunderstanding here?

Those two weren't fully awake yet. Based solely on a single weapon, I don't think we can so readily conclude that Jiang Qiao did it.

Chen Fang gave a wry smile. "Old Song, we know Jiang Qiao well, and we don't think she would do something like that."

However, sometimes we can't control what other people think, so I can only try to find out more information.

As for Jiang Qiao, her whereabouts are currently unknown. Some people suspect that she escaped because no other clues about Jiang Qiao were found on the bus, her luggage was gone, and the other two people didn't move. No one on the bus saw Jiang Qiao get off, so this evidence is unfavorable to Jiang Qiao.

We could speculate that this might be an enemy tactic, but it's just speculation; we have no evidence. Everything depends on evidence, so brothers, you guys better put in the effort.”

Song Zhi gave a wry smile. "You're not here to comfort me, you're just here to make things worse."

Chen Fang smiled and said, "I'm not that kind of person. I'm just stating the facts. Will your future detection efforts be directed in this direction?"

After saying this, Chen Fang said with a heavy heart, "I also hope that Jiang Qiao is alright, but we need to be prepared. The enemy has finally succeeded, do you think they can let Jiang Qiao live so easily? If Jiang Qiao lives, it means trouble for them in the future."

I'm not trying to be discouraging, but I'm really unsure about this, and we don't know where to even begin looking.

Song Zhi nudged Chen Fang and said, "Stop talking. What you're saying is so discouraging. Who would feel good hearing that? Say something that will put his mind at ease, at least something that will make the old man feel better."

However, Qiao Jie didn't need their comfort at all; the old man was holding firm.

"Putting everything else aside, Qiao'er's life or death is now unknown. You all know why. I won't say anything else, I just want your company to give my child justice."

This wasn't done by Jiang Qiao. If it were about killing someone, our Qiao'er would have a hundred ways to do it, and this is definitely not how it happened.

Moreover, in Qiao'er's heart, what she cares about most are her family and relatives and friends. She will not let us people get into trouble because of her.

Based on this alone, there's definitely more to this story. To use a knife to kill someone—our Qiao'er isn't that stupid. Trying to frame someone? That person is still too green.”

Song Zhi agreed with this statement. However, while he agreed, all the evidence was currently unfavorable to Jiang Qiao. In their jargon, everything was based on evidence, a fact that was quite unpleasant.

"Uncle Qiao, don't worry, our people are investigating too, and we will definitely not let Qiao'er suffer any injustice."

"Just stay home and wait for Qiao'er to come back. I was worried you wouldn't be able to handle the news, but it seems we were overthinking it. As long as we keep this mindset, even if Qiao'er has her own difficulties, the child will be at peace, right?"

Ning Hao gave a wry smile. "Uncle, may I ask if those two have woken up yet? What exactly did they say?"

Chen Fang sighed, "No, it will probably be tomorrow at the earliest. These two have escaped with their lives, but don't count on them. They were both drugged at the time, what could they possibly remember?"

However, Chen Fang was exaggerating. The two people who woke up the next morning really did remember hearing someone talking in their drowsy state, and they could even remember what was said.

It sounded like a man, who said he was there to rescue Jiang Qiao. There was also a woman's voice, but it was muffled. They didn't know if this was Jiang Qiao or not. They had no way of knowing. Anyway, it was the woman's voice that said they couldn't let these two people live, so they were each stabbed.

"Really, we were all drugged. Our voices were distorted, and we couldn't even open our eyes. We couldn't tell if this woman was Jiang Qiao."

The two of them were telling the truth, but that alone was enough for those with ulterior motives to make a fuss about it.

"Who else could it be but Jiang Qiao? This must be a coordinated effort from both inside and outside. Otherwise, who could open the locked door from the inside?"
