Ning Hao secretly squeezed Jiang Qiao's hand. "It's nothing. My father-in-law is fully prepared. Besides, who among us is afraid of who? If they dare to come, we dare to fight. Things are different now than before. Do you still think we're back in the old days with our primitive guns and cannons?"

That's what they said, but their eyes never left Jiang Qiao's face. Who said pregnant women become ugly? His wife is getting prettier. Even though she's pregnant, she's even more captivating than before.

Jiang Qiao was beautiful in the past, but not everyone could withstand her aura.

Things are different now. Whether it's because she's pregnant or because the enemies have all been eliminated, Jiang Qiao now exudes a warmth that even Ning Hao can't quite describe, just like his mother back then. Being near her makes people feel warm and secure.

Jiang Qiao wasn't unaware that Ning Hao was staring at her. She turned her head and met Ning Hao's gaze. The corners of her mouth turned up, and even Ning Hao could see the affection in her eyes. She grinned foolishly at Jiang Qiao.

"Is the child alright?"

Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "They're doing well. The two kids are very well-behaved and haven't caused any trouble. It's also thanks to God that we were able to stop the cobra. Otherwise, that old fox would most likely have escaped."

Zhou Yu sighed from the side, "To be honest, I was worried about him back in the capital. I was afraid that the old fox would set a trap for them halfway. I just didn't expect that he didn't have enough manpower. Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble that old guy would have caused."

"I must say, your father-in-law is really capable. It's quite unexpected that Zhengfeng managed to capture the strategist."

Sitting in front, Jian Ling chuckled twice. "What's so surprising about that? These people have done so much to Jiang Qiao. Do you think Gu Zhengfeng, as her father, wouldn't care about them?"

He probably already has a mental image of what those wanted people look like. Besides, Jiang Qiao's father isn't exactly a saint; he'd better think twice before he encounters someone like that on the road. It's only right that your father-in-law catches him, which would be a good way to avenge his daughter.

"Are you and my dad alright?"

Ning Hao smiled and shook his head. "I'm not injured. I'm fine."

What Jian Ling and Zhou Yu were most interested in was why Ning Hao and his team ended the battle so quickly. According to their analysis, it should have taken at least a while.

"Haozi, tell us, where did you and Ye Xiuhe take with you? Did you surround us from behind? That seems unlikely."

Ning Hao looked at Jiang Qiao and grinned foolishly, "Take a guess?"

Jiang Qiao just smiled and didn't say anything, while Zhou Yu frowned and thought for a while before turning around and glancing at Ning Hao.

"You're definitely up to no good. You and your husband are pretty much the same. One of you is thinking of sprinkling medicine or chili powder on someone. You wouldn't actually do that, but you've definitely found another way to do it."

"Fighting is one thing, but you must have another way to strike the enemy. As for what that way is, I can't guess."

Ning Hao just smiled and didn't explain. Jian Ling was anxious, "What exactly is the method?"

Ning Hao gave a wry smile. "You guys are overestimating me, aren't you? There's no good way. When there's a war, it's all about fighting to the death. Fortunately, my father-in-law is well-prepared, with enough personnel and supplies."

Ye Xiuhe and I were ordered to lead men to deal with the people they sent. To be honest, were we afraid of them? No.

We have the support of the entire nation behind us. They are the invaders, and they surely know this. They can't break through by force, and they can't cause any damage. They should retreat quickly.

Jian Ling exclaimed in surprise, "They even sent special forces here?"

Ning Hao nodded. "Fortunately, Ye Xiuhe and I are quite experienced in this area, so those people shouldn't expect to get anything out of us. Don't forget what Ye Xiuhe's background is; she's a professional special agent."

Jiang Qiao asked, "How's the jade pendant?"

Ning Hao knew his wife had hit the nail on the head: "It's cracked—"

With just that one sentence, the four people in the car knew how intense the battle was.

"Ah, luckily Master Hou's jade pendant is here. You kid, you really escaped with your life."

As Jian Ling drove, she said, "Later, let's have Master Hou carve a few more."

Zhou Yu sighed, "Do you really think that thing is as worthless as radishes and cabbages? Why was it worth a fortune back then? First, it was effective, and second, it was hard work. Otherwise, if it were so easy to make, wouldn't Master Hou be richer than a country?"

Jian Ling clearly didn't understand how Hou Diankui made this thing; she thought the old man could make it anytime he wanted.

Ning Hao smiled and said, "It's alright. I'm doing just fine now. Qiao'er and I can't afford to get hurt. We still have to take care of you in your old age."

When the topic of retirement came up, Jian Ling and Zhou Yu felt a warm feeling welling up inside them. They had thought that Jiang Qiao had agreed to this on her own, but it seemed that Ning Hao also knew about it and agreed to take care of them in their old age.

Zhou Yu chimed in, "Haozi, we have no choice but to rely on you guys for this; we can't count on anyone else."

"Uncle Zhou, what are you saying? We're all family, so don't say such things. Qiao'er is bedridden, and she relies on my Aunt Jian and you to help her take care of things."

"We will not only take care of you both in the future, but also our children; you will be their grandparents."

Zhou Yu nodded excitedly, "Great, great, great! We'd love to have someone call us grandpa and grandma!"

When they arrived, the venue was already set up. Jiang Qiao originally thought it would just be a tea party, but who would have thought it would be such a big event with so many people in a large hall? Today, these few people are the main characters, and the main purpose is for them to talk to everyone about what's going on here.

The leader meant that all the department leaders present should listen to this and be more vigilant in the future, so that similar incidents don't happen again in their county.

Jiang Qiao can save the people of this city now, but what about in the future? What will happen when Jiang Qiao is gone?

It would be better to raise everyone's vigilance and absolutely prevent bad people from infiltrating the city or the people in the city from being misled.

Jiang Qiao and his friends really made a name for themselves today. Before, everyone had only heard of Jiang Qiao, but now they finally know who he is.

Especially since the couple was both on stage, they couldn't possibly envy that honor. And the couple, Jiang Qiao and his wife, were quite a sight to behold.

After the meeting, Jiang Qiao and his wife immediately became the focus of everyone's discussion.

Whether they knew each other or not, everyone would come over to shake hands and chat with Jiang Qiao and Ning Hao after the meeting. This time, Jiang Qiao finally got to know all the leaders, big and small.

During a conversation with her superior, Jiang Qiao expressed her true feelings.
