Yesterday, Zhou Yu and his group learned that Cobra had been captured, so this morning, they began preparations to welcome Jiang Qiao back.

So, as soon as they got off the bus, Jiang Qiao and the other two had a meal. Jiang Qiao was just about to take a nap after eating when someone from her family arrived – Zhang Dalei.

"Oh, what brings you here? Is something urgent?"

Zhang Dalei sighed, "Cobra will be interrogated this afternoon. You guys can go and take a look when you have time. Also, the Wen family is anxious to see you."

Jiang Qiao asked, "Where's my uncle? Did they meet?"

Zhang Dalei nodded. "We already met this morning, so I'll arrange for us to meet again at 1 p.m. this afternoon."

Jiang Qiao nodded. "We don't need to participate in the interrogation of Cobra, right?"

Before Zhang Dalei could answer, Jian Ling spoke up, "Participate? Why not participate? I still have to testify against this old bastard. My friend was harmed by this bastard back then. He thought that if he didn't speak up, he wouldn't be involved."

Now, let's settle all the old and new scores together. He thinks he can just end it all with this? Before he dies, I'll make him understand exactly what debts he owes.

Jiang Qiao could understand Jian Ling's desire to vent her anger. Not to mention Jian Ling, even she, the person who was killed by Xu Shaoqing back then, wanted to settle the score with him. However, she had come back to life, and the public score could not be settled.

"You guys go first, I'll come find you after I've met with the person."

Jiang Qiao went back to her room and tidied up. She hadn't had a chance to properly tidy herself up on the way back, and she couldn't possibly be dressed like this when she was going to meet people.

Zhang Dalei nodded in satisfaction when he saw Jiang Qiao come out after changing her clothes. He was really afraid that Jiang Qiao would just leave without a care in the world, and he wouldn't be able to explain it to her.

Even though everyone is having a tough time, it's still a meeting with outsiders, so we have to dress smartly. It's not just a matter of politeness, but also a matter of face.

On the way to meet the people with Jiang Qiao, Jiang Qiao asked which branch of the Wen family they came from, since she didn't know.

"Hehe, I heard from your uncle that your great-uncle's son has come."

"Then why didn't I see anyone with the surname Wen?"

As Zhang Dalei drove, he said, "I heard she took her mother's surname. It's not surprising you didn't know. I guess she's the only child in the family, so it's understandable that she has a child to help carry on the family line."

Jiang Qiao really didn't know. When her grandfather introduced it, he didn't explain it in such detail. Who knows what was going on?

"Where is my uncle? I need to see them first."

"I'm staying at the same hotel as them, which makes it convenient for them to meet. When you get there, talk to your uncle first to find out the situation so you can give me a better answer."

Jiang Qiao chuckled twice. "What's there to answer? I'm just a granddaughter, and I'm still a step below the Wen family."

By the way, are there any enemies left to eliminate?

Speaking of this, Zhang Dalei was holding his breath. "We're just waiting for Cobra to confess. The special envoy has said everything, but when it comes to the old man, he's stubbornly refusing to budge, and he won't even admit his own identity."

Jiang Qiao concluded, "Why doesn't he dare to admit it? Is he afraid of dying? Is it useful to deny it? The items were found on him. It's not that easy to deny it. Besides, your section chief and bureau chief won't let him keep silent like this."

Zhang Dalei smiled and nodded, "This afternoon, our bureau chief will personally interrogate him; there should be a breakthrough."

We've tried it on the other side, but it didn't work. Now we're bringing in the bureau chief.

"By the way, make sure to cook plenty of food tonight. Our department head said he'd like to have a small get-together at your place tonight."

Jiang Qiao muttered, "This guy is trying to freeload again."

Zhang Dalei couldn't help but laugh, "Our boss said he's out of food, so he told you to cook more good food. I sent the rest of the food to the veterans' place. That should be enough to cook something for our boss."

Jiang Qiao sighed helplessly, "Later, I'll have to extort some votes from your section chief. That guy's family must be quite wealthy."

Zhang Dalei was the kind of person who wasn't afraid of making a big mess. "I think it's fine. You can knock on more. That guy hasn't been home much this month, so he probably hasn't used many of the tickets he has."

Jiang Qiao smiled. This was just a joke of hers; she had plenty of supplies and these little things on hand.

The hotel was the same one she had visited last time, but this time the security measures were much more obvious, with people stationed both overtly and covertly.

Seeing that Jiang Qiao's eyes were glued to him, Zhang Dalei asked, "How's the security? Are the measures adequate? If you were in charge, would you have any opportunities or loopholes?"

Jiang Qiao chuckled twice. "Big brother, don't worry. The cobra has been caught. Even if there are a couple of fish, shrimp, and crabs, they won't make much of a difference. Our comrades are not to be trifled with."

Zhang Dalei also spoke the truth: "The person in charge of security is my childhood friend. I'm just worried that he might make a mistake. If you think it's okay, I guess it shouldn't be a problem."

Jiang Qiao smiled and nodded. "I understand. I can see it, and the enemy can see it too. There's no chance from the outside or the inside. It'll be difficult for them to get in, right?"

Sure enough, when they got to the door, they had to show their identification. Luckily, Jiang Qiao had brought it with her. After seeing Jiang Qiao and Zhang Dalei's identification, the guard immediately saluted before letting them through.

"It's fine. I don't see any problems. If it were me, I would have just backed out. Why would I do something so blatant if I wasn't confident? Would I be courting death?"

Jiang Qiao gave her affirmation, so Zhang Dalei was naturally relieved.

Having found the floor where the delegation was staying, Zhang Dalei walked up to a door and knocked. Jiang Qiao looked around at the layout of the floor and couldn't help but marvel at the difference; it was on a completely different level from the small hotel they had stayed in.

The door opened, and seeing the familiar face appear in the doorway, Jiang Qiao couldn't help but excitedly call out, "Uncle—"

Her shout startled Wen Zhongxuan, who was opposite her. "Qiao'er? No, you, you—"

Jiang Qiao laughed and rushed over, hugging Wen Zhongxuan's arm. "Uncle, I'm still alive. I only faked my death to keep it from those enemies. I'm alive and well now."

Wen Zhongxuan's mouth trembled with excitement. "It's good that you're alive, it's good that you're alive. I thought you were really gone. You've caused me so much worry. Do you know how many times your cousin and I have cried when we heard the news about you?"

At this moment, Wen Zhongxuan's tears were already welling up. It was good that the child was alive; otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to face his old father. He knew in his heart how much the old man valued this child.

"Hehe, Uncle, it's all in the past now. We can live a peaceful life from now on. Let's talk inside—"

Zhang Dalei left with the words, "I have some business to attend to. I'll come pick you up later. Your uncle knows which room that person is staying in."
