Transmigrated into a poor peasant family, lacking clothes and food, life is hard enough, why must she also be schemed against by her only relative?
So she's not their biological child, wh...
Jiang Qiao had a pretty good idea of why Jiang Jinyu was acting this way. If her second brother heard that his sister had been killed by Xu Shaoqing himself, how could he be happy?
Upon reaching the door, he said, "You two go and interrogate them first. I'll go in and take a look, and I'll come back to find you in a bit."
Pushing open the door, she saw Jiang Jinyu lying on the hospital bed with her eyes closed, giving the impression that she seemed somewhat dejected.
He walked over, took Jiang Jinyu's arm, checked her pulse, and sighed, "I told you not to get agitated, why won't you listen to my advice?"
We already knew what Cobra did and how many lives he had. If someone we really cared about died at Xu Shaoqing's hands, then don't waste resources by hospitalizing him; just lock him up and let him die from festering sores.
Jiang Jinyu sighed and opened her eyes. "Do you think I didn't want this? My own sister died at the hands of that bastard. Jiang Qiao, I told you before that you share the same name as my sister—"
Jiang Qiao nodded, then sighed, "I didn't know that was your sister. I thought it was just someone with the same name."
Forget it, don't get angry at yourself. If you keep acting like this, won't the cobra be even happier?
I have good news for you. I think I've found another mole planted by the enemy—"
Jiang Jinyu's eyes snapped open. "What? A mole?"
Jiang Qiao nodded and told Jiang Jinyu about Luo Yuan's matter. This time, Jiang Jinyu couldn't stay silent any longer.
"No, I need to have someone investigate this."
Jiang Qiao pressed him down. "What's the rush? I've already had Zhang Dalei report to Song Shutian, and he should have people investigating by now."
"You take a rest first. I'm going to deal with this Cobra. He's not cooperating, is he? I'll let him know that our rules don't apply to people like him. You stay here quietly and pretend you don't know anything."
To be honest, Jiang Jinyu was also quite conflicted. On one hand, there was discipline, and on the other hand, he really hated her. His sister was so young, and she died at the hands of this man. No matter how he thought about it, he felt sorry for his sister. She was too young.
Moreover, Jiang Qiao hadn't done anything wrong. The intelligence he brought back at the risk of his life was ruined by this thing.
This matter was weighing heavily on his mind, but apart from Jiang Qiao, he had no one else to confide in.
When Jiang Qiao arrived, Xu Shaoqing was still lying on the bed with his eyes closed, acting like a big shot. As for Cao Mingyuan and Zhang Dalei, they didn't react at all.
"Xu Shaoqing, do you really think we can't do anything to you just because you don't say anything?"
The person on the bed remained motionless. Jiang Qiao walked over, looked at Xu Shaoqing who was pretending to be dead, and examined him closely. Suddenly, Luo Yuan's face appeared in her mind.
A sudden thought struck her: "Heh, Xu Shaoqing, before you die, don't you want to see your son?"
Just that one sentence made Xu Shaoqing, who had his eyes closed, suddenly open them, and stare at Jiang Qiao with a fierce look.
Who exactly are you?
Although Jiang Qiao had a smile on her face, her eyes were like those of a demon from hell, making Xu Shaoqing feel a chill down his spine.
"Who am I? Don't you know? You can even ask such a stupid question, which shows you're getting old, Xu Shaoqing. You're more afraid of death than anyone else, otherwise you wouldn't have become a traitor back then—"
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Qiao grabbed Xu Shaoqing's jaw and swallowed a pill down his throat.
"you--"
Xu Shaoqing glared angrily at Jiang Qiao, "You're a devil—"
Jiang Qiao sneered, "I can't compare to you. To you bad people, I'm a devil, but to kind and good people, I'm an angel."
"Xu Shaoqing, I'm giving you a chance. Confess honestly. Don't force me to bring your son here. You and I both know where he is and who he is, right?"
Speaking of his son, Xu Shaoqing lowered his head helplessly. He wanted to say something, but the medicine had already taken effect.
Jiang Qiao gestured to Cao Mingyuan and Zhang Dalei to quickly begin the interrogation.
Zhang Dalei and Cao Mingyuan immediately addressed their most pressing question: "What kind of men do you have left on your side?"
Xu Shaoqing shook his head. "These people are either arrested or dead. We already don't have enough people. Why should I keep them around to harm my son?"
"Your son? Who is he, and where is he?"
Xu Shaoqing's tone was unusually emotional: "I've endured so many years of hardship here, risking my life for them, and they still schemed against my son, making him come with the delegation. For my son's sake, I can't continue this mission."
I initially thought that Osprey was an inside man, but I didn't expect that they would inform me later that Luo Yuan, my son, had also come along as a covert agent. How could I agree to this? We've both been put to the test here; who will remember us then?
This task was inherently difficult, practically impossible to complete. These people only cared about getting us to finish the task; they never considered the well-being of my son and me.
I haven't seen my son in so many years. If he were to participate in this operation, he would be killed and there would be no chance of him ever coming back.
They're threatening me with my son's life, but I'm determined not to do as they want.
It seems that Xu Shaoqing really cares about this person; you could say he's heartbroken.
"Then why didn't you go north, but instead ran south?"
"The North? Hmph, those people turn on you faster than flipping through a book. Even if the strategist succeeds over there, it won't be of much use for us. Besides, they might not even be interested in what I have. I'd rather go there and sell it for a good price. Moreover, I have some old friends in the South. Isn't it more comfortable to live with money in the North?"
Jiang Qiao now has to admire Cobra. Look at how well they've planned their escape routes; they've calculated everything down to the bone and even know which option is the most suitable.
Next came the question of the body double. Jiang Qiao was also curious about how Xu Shaoqing had found such a suitable person.
“When I was young, I met someone who looked very similar to me, so I took him in as a foster parent. Later, when he came to live with me, I helped him get married and start a family. We treated each other like brothers, so that I could use him someday.”
This time, I don't want to continue, so I need to think about getting out of this mess. That person owes me such a huge favor, so of course they'd be happy to help.
However, he died at the hands of the strategist, which has nothing to do with you. Otherwise, if you had caught him, why would I have faked my death?
As for the strategist, if the operation in the north succeeds, that would be good; at least he'd have a place to eat. However, if it fails, that would be even better; if he dies, no one will know I'm still alive.
