Jian Ling came out first and saw Jiang Qiao taking a walk in the garden, so she followed her.

"Old Liu is talking to Director Jiang, he probably won't be out for a while."

Jiang Qiao sighed, "Go back and find Old Hou, and ask him to come over and arrange a feng shui arrangement for Jiang Jinyu to help her recover. Also, we need someone to go back home and take care of things. My third aunt has moved, and she still has to go to work. We can't keep delaying her work."

Uncle Ma still has to watch the restaurant, and Ning Hao went to pick up my younger brother. I'm just not at ease with him.

Jian Ling knew exactly what Jiang Qiao was thinking. "At this time, you stay here and behave yourself. I've seen those people; they'll eventually gather here again. So don't go back."

I'll discuss this with your Aunt Dong. One of us has to go back. The children are taking care of the elderly at home, and the restaurant definitely won't have enough staff. Song Shutian and the others are out here, so we don't need anyone for the time being.

When an elderly person falls ill, it's no laughing matter. Putting aside Qiao Jie's age, just look at her grandfather. If he passes away and her parents have another accident, wouldn't the story from back then repeat itself?

Jiang Qiao felt heartbroken at the thought of having to raise such an elderly person to support their grandson.

Needless to say, Ma Liu was in poor health. She was afraid that if her father's illness relapsed, what would happen if she wasn't around?

Back then, the old man and the other man almost starved to death trying to get her some things. How could she not treat such an old man with sincerity?

Jian Ling couldn't stay outside with Jiang Qiao forever. "You wait here. I'll go see if Liu Zhanyu is done. I'll have him come out."

Liu Zhanyu was indeed reporting to Jiang Jinyu. It seemed that the two people from yesterday hadn't made any progress, so he was talking to Jiang Jinyu about it.

When Liu Zhanyu came out, Jiang Qiao was sitting alone near the flower bed. Her desolate figure made Liu Zhanyu feel a pang of pain in his heart.

Jiang Qiao's oversized cotton-padded coat wrapped around her frail body; this young girl carried too much on her shoulders.

Liu Zhanyu slowly walked over and sat down next to Jiang Qiao, smoking as he said, "Don't worry, you're like your father. He contacted our people a long time ago and provided information about the people we suspected before."

However, everything has been piling up on our side lately, and over there, the person your father suspects hasn't made any moves, so we haven't taken any action.

"I'll ask about this when I get back. If that doesn't work, I'll go there myself. Damn it, this matter isn't even settled yet, and they dare to target your dad. It's not just you who's upset; I'm also feeling uneasy about it."

Jiang Qiao sighed, "Dad, all the elders in the family are sick, and my younger brother has no one to take care of him. You tell me, even if I hide, I can't bear it. You have to cover for me, otherwise, I won't even be in the mood to catch cobras."

I feel so angry just thinking about it. What are these bastards up to?

Are they testing whether I'm dead or not? Or do they think that people from the Gu family are so easy to manipulate?

If it weren't for my parents liking that outfit, what do you think I would have wanted them to keep worrying about it?

My grandfather and maternal grandfather, as their children, simply don't have the extra time and energy to take care of them. They devote all their time to work, so what more do they want from my parents?

They've been holed up in that godforsaken place for so many years, and they haven't complained once. Why don't they do that? Do they really think we honest people have no temper?

Liu Zhanyu realized that this girl was really angry; she didn't usually vent, but now it had all been bottled up.

"Qiao'er, I know all of this. You have lost too much in the process of capturing the enemy, but you have never regretted it or asked for anything in return."

Girl, I'll say it again, don't worry. There are people who are more anxious than us. I've already asked Chen Fang to make arrangements at home. Your uncle has gone back, so things should be a bit easier for the old man.

The director has already made arrangements; you can just wait for good news.

Jiang Qiao gave a bitter smile. "I haven't had any good news lately. I don't know what's going on or what evil spirit I've offended. One thing after another has happened. I've escaped death several times."

Honestly, try it on someone else. They've died several times already. Do you really think I'm made of iron? I get tired sometimes, and I get frustrated sometimes. Who can I complain to?

I don't ask for anything in return, I just ask that you don't stab me in the back, okay?

"Dad, I reckon you won't be able to take down those two anytime soon. Let me handle it—"

Liu Zhanyu hesitated for a moment. Jiang Qiao's words made sense, but the problem was that the two people were already detained. Even if he went there, he could only interrogate them, not take them out. How could he get them out now?

Upon hearing Liu Zhanyu's question, Jiang Qiao simply smiled faintly, "I'll go with you. I'll go complete the discharge procedures, and then I'll disguise myself somewhere else. Wait for me at the restaurant near your workplace's main gate."

"Who are you planning to dress up as? Is this okay?"

Jiang Qiao looked up at the bare tree branches above her head. "Don't worry, as long as it's not the original me, it's fine. I'll prepare letters of introduction from other organizations, so no one will suspect anything."

Liu Zhanyu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go back and wait for you."

Liu Zhanyu threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, rubbed it with his foot, and got up to leave.

He had to go back and tell Jiang Jinyu about Jiang Qiao's situation; he didn't know if it was feasible.

"Alright, let her give it a try. Jiang Qiao knows what she's doing. With this incident, I bet everyone will be hesitant to act. Sigh—"

Jian Ling was still a little worried, "Will this work? What if Jiang Qiao's identity is exposed before those two people can be interrogated?"

"Old Liu, please keep an eye on things. The checks there are a bit too strict; even I'm scared when I go in."

Liu Zhanyu glanced at Jian Ling and said, "What's there to be afraid of for someone as bold as you? We don't eat people. Go back and discuss it with Lao Dong. Let's see who goes back. Jiang Qiao is really worried about her family."

"Director, let me tell you, we need to give Jiang Qiao an explanation for this. This is unacceptable."

Jiang Jinyu waved her hand, "Hurry up and get to work. Once we catch Cobra, Jiang Qiao's identity will be revealed. There's no point in saying anything now."

"Cover Jiang Qiao up, hurry!"

Liu Zhanyu and Jian Ling left together, each with their own things to do. Since there were people watching outside, they weren't worried about Jiang Jinyu's safety.

After Jiang Qiao completed the discharge procedures, she returned to her ward. She pondered what the man had said that morning and felt she should ask him about it.

The woman wondered what Jiang Qiao was up to.

"Comrade, I've been discharged from the hospital. I heard about your illness from the doctor. There's a good gynecologist in our village. If you trust me, leave your address, and I'll have the doctor come to you or mail you some medicine."

"Meeting is fate, and the old lady has no other desires. She just wants a child to make her family complete, and I understand that feeling."
