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...
“I know the password, but even if you have the password, you may not be able to open that door safely. It’s not a problem with the door, but with the people. Although I don’t know how they arranged it, I certainly won’t let them open that door so easily. There must be our people among those experts and such inside.”
"Tell me the password quickly. I'll contact our people about the rest."
Milan then gave a set of codes, and Song Zhi quickly had someone send a telegram to Song Shutian. Jiang Qiao added, "Remind the other side that there are enemy agents among the experts or their entourage, and if possible, have our own people open the code."
Milan's next words were none of Jiang Qiao's business, and she didn't want to know any more about it, so she withdrew voluntarily. Song Zhi smiled and shook his head, thinking that this girl was too perceptive.
When Song Shutian received the telegram, he was also startled. It was someone sent from above, someone personally selected by the higher-ups, yet there was a problem with him?
Whether what's said here is true or false, we've already come ninety-nine steps. We can't afford to fail at this final crucial step. At worst, he can bring his own people to open the gate.
When the experts heard that they were no longer needed and were being placed under centralized surveillance, they were all furious and shouted, "Isn't this ridiculous? What if they make a mistake with that thing? Who will bear the consequences?"
The guards kept repeating the same thing: "Our leaders said they will take responsibility for all the consequences. It has nothing to do with you. Everyone, please calm down. Instead of making a fuss, you should get some rest. We'll need you sooner or later."
Jiang Qiao had no idea that Song Shutian had carried out this message so thoroughly; she was still in the police station.
After Song Zhi and the others finished their interrogation, she went back into that room.
"Girl, is there anything else?"
Jiang Qiao nodded. "I need to ask Milan what she meant by what she said earlier. Did her superiors explain everything?"
Song Zhi shook his head. "She doesn't know who her superior is either. I'll tell you later. You should ask her first."
Milan, who had overheard Jiang Qiao's question, was now playing along.
"Jiang Qiao, to be honest with you, I don't know who told me this. Anyway, when I came here, I received a message saying that you are a bit strange and that I should try not to have any contact with you or have any conflict with you."
As for why this person would say that, I don't know either. You'll have to ask yourself. Who have you had a conflict with, or have you had contact with, and does that person know you?
Jiang Qiao thought for a long time but couldn't figure out who this person was.
With a weak wave of his hand, he said, "Never mind, I'll think about it slowly. Milan, I will definitely keep my promise, but you also need to remember not to hide anything from me."
Milan looked at Jiang Qiao with a complicated expression and said "thank you" without any apparent reason.
Jiang Qiao gave a wry smile. "You're still young. Perhaps you joined this organization against your will or because you were young and ignorant. Now that you know what's important, it's not too late to get out."
So far, you haven't committed any major offenses, so even if you are sentenced, it probably won't be too severe. Cherish your life from now on; you only have one life, and death isn't an escape.
Jiang Qiao stepped out, and Song Zhi arranged for someone to take Milan back to the hospital and keep her under strict guard.
"Remember, even if medical staff come in, you need to have someone with you. Milan, you also need to be careful."
Milan sighed and nodded. "I know what's important."
After Milan left, Song Zhicai revealed something to Jiang Qiao, "Oh? Milan was adopted and raised by them since she was a child?"
Song Zhi nodded. "Those enemy agents should still have orphans like her in their hands, but we don't know where they've been sent. We'll continue to follow up on this."
"Joe, you need to be careful from now on. The enemy agents have invested a lot of resources in this operation, and I suspect they've become aware of your involvement. I hope they can wipe them out this time. I'm just worried about your safety if any escapees get away."
Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "It's alright. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. If I'm not afraid of them, I won't get involved."
Besides, everyone we know of has already been arrested. Even if some escaped, the information we have might not be as detailed. However, you need to start working on your side. It's unacceptable that enemy agents could disarm your people with just a honey trap.
Song Zhi nodded heavily. "Don't worry, after this is over, I will definitely give them a good talking to. Don't forget what I come from. Let's go."
Song Zhi wanted Jiang Qiao to stay at his workplace for a casual meal, but Jiang Qiao declined, saying, "My grandfather is still at home. He's worried about me and asked him to stay and keep me company. I have to go back and have dinner with him."
Just as they were about to leave, Song Shutian's men arrived. One reason was that they had received a message from their subordinates to review Milan's statement, and the other was to inform Song Zhi that they needed to go and help Song Shutian, and also wanted to take Jiang Qiao with them.
"Huh? I have to go too? No, we already have enough people. We've arrested everyone who needed to be arrested. Why do we need me?"
The other party explained to Jiang Qiao, "Milan's statement mentioned that there might be their people among the experts, so we need to go and verify them. We can't just bring them here and leave them completely useless; we still need them to handle those matters. We have limited manpower."
Jiang Qiao, you are truly outstanding in this area. Please, come with us. Shutian really needs your help.
Jiang Qiao sighed and muttered, "I'm going to have to work hard again as a free laborer. Sigh, what a miserable life."
Song Zhi felt sorry for his niece, but he also knew that this was a critical time and he couldn't say anything else.
"Girl, go to the cafeteria and get something to eat first. I'll pay you back later. Come back in a bit; we still need to exchange some information."
Jiang Qiao nodded without hesitation. "Then I'll eat something first to tide me over. Do you need me to bring you some food?"
The group of people smiled and nodded. Jiang Qiao resigned herself to going to the cafeteria for lunch. When she got on the bus, she realized that the door to the underground parking garage was already open, and the contents inside were exactly as she had expected.
“Because the stuff is too dangerous, we have to be careful. You go over and help screen those people. If there are no problems, that would be great, and you can help deal with the stuff. If there are problems, we can’t just let the enemy agents go.”
Jiang Qiao asked in confusion, "Have you caught that Teacher Gong's woman? If you have, have her identify her."
"We don't know that woman either, so we'll have to rely on ourselves."
When Jiang Qiao arrived at this place again, she was frightened by the layers upon layers of People's Liberation Army soldiers in front of her. With so many people, what kind of enemy agents would dare to act so openly?
