Gu Zhengkai didn't think it was a big deal. "When you really go to university, leave your Grandpa Qiao with your grandfather. They can look after each other. If you're worried, just take the old man with you to study."

We won't live at the school. We'll rent a place closer to the school so it'll be easier to take care of you. But that's all for the future, so you don't need to worry about it for now. Your dad should have made arrangements, so you don't need to worry about that. Come on, eat more.

Sigh, you know, with us adults working outside, we really have to rely on my niece for support at home—"

Yang Yunqi, who knew the situation best, took a sip of wine and nodded, "That's right, it must have been difficult for Qiao'er."

"Girl, where did you get this liquor? It's good stuff, genuine sorghum liquor. If you don't know its origins, you really can't buy it anywhere else. Do you have any extra?"

Jiang Qiao couldn't help but laugh at Yang Yunqi's little look. "You always want to drink. When you leave, I'll get you a barrel to take with you. Let me tell you, don't drink it all at once. This wine is old, and you can't buy it even if you have the money now."

Yang Yunqi could certainly tell it was good wine, otherwise he wouldn't have asked for it directly. He didn't expect this girl to be so secretive, hiding such good old wine. He wouldn't be satisfied if he didn't get some out of her.

"Well done, little girl, you've got some skills. You managed to get your hands on this stuff. I'd guess it's been around for at least a few decades. It tastes good and doesn't give you a headache."

Gu Zhengkai was drinking wine, so he didn't know whether what Yang Yunqi was drinking was good or bad.

"Really?"

Yang Yunqi poured some for Gu Zhengkai and said, "Try this. This is what you call authentic old wine. Paired with the medicinal herbs the maid prepared, it's very nourishing. From now on, the two of us can have a couple of drinks together."

Now that the wine is finished, it's time to get back to the main topic. Yang Yunqi is now a little worried about Jiang Qiao's safety.

"Girl, remember this: if you feel something is wrong, be sure to tell the police. Don't act rashly on your own. They've changed their tactics now. See, they're not targeting you anymore?"

Jiang Qiao agreed with this point, "I just don't know what these people are trying to do. The old devils have already been exposed, but we haven't seen them take any action. Are they going to rescue people or not?"

Yang Yunqi snorted coldly, "I guess they weren't prepared. But I heard that the old devil is sick. Girl, do you know that before this, the old devil had never been sick once? Don't you think that medicine they researched back then was pretty powerful?"

Jiang Qiao glanced at Yang Yunqi in surprise, then looked at Gu Zhengkai. Seeing her uncle nod at her, she understood somewhat that the matter Yang Yunqi was in charge of this time was probably related to this old Japanese devil.

"It is quite powerful, but what you see is only the surface. Every medicine has two sides. Just like when we treat a cold, if you take medicine, it will inevitably put pressure on other organs in your body."

However, we don't yet know the side effects of this drug. I reckon that since its effects have been neutralized, the old devil will probably age faster, and he'll be even more eager to get out."

Yang Yunqi nodded knowingly. "So, at this juncture, you can't afford to make any mistakes. To be honest, your presence here has at least had a deterrent effect on those people."

"It can't be that weird, can it?"

Yang Yunqi chuckled and said, "You don't know this, do you? Although I went home to recuperate for a while, I didn't neglect my work. I re-examined those captured enemy agents. They are absolutely terrified of you."

No one expected to fall into your hands. What they were worried about was exactly what their superiors were worried about. Because of this, even if they take action in the future, they will have to avoid you.

By the way, I heard about your great-aunt's situation from Lao Song. Don't take it too seriously; her family situation is a bit complicated. Lao Song will handle it. As for relatives, you can just disown them.

Even Yang Yunqi said so, so what else don't Gu Zhengkai and Jiang Qiao understand? This person's family background is probably not clean either.

While the two uncles chatted and drank tea inside, Jiang Qiao steamed buns. In the meantime, she packed some things out. Gu Zhengkai was going back. She knew he was alone in another city, and his grandfather couldn't support him, so she had to come.

Looking at Jiang Qiao coming and going, Yang Yunqi couldn't help but sigh, "Zhengkai, it's a blessing from your past life that your family has a granddaughter like Jiang Qiao. I wonder if your ancestors in the Gu family have appeared to you and sent such a capable child to your family. She's even more capable than the matriarch."

Gu Zhengkai glanced at the busy figure and said, "That's right. I originally thought that after I got out, I could provide for this family and the children, but that idea was a bit naive—"

Yang Yunqi patted him on the shoulder and said, "You've only just begun. Keep up the good work, and there will always be a day when your talents will be put to good use."

Jiang Qiao brought in two baskets. "Uncle, these are the food and clothes. Uncle Yang, you should carry the wine separately so it doesn't take up space. You two can divide the food among yourselves."

After seeing Gu Zhengkai and the others off, Jiang Qiao got home and suddenly realized she had forgotten something: she hadn't picked up the mailing slip yet. She needed to remember to pick up the package tomorrow.

The next day, after lunch, Jiang Qiao rode his bicycle to the post office. This time, Hou Diankui had mailed quite a lot of things—two large parcels.

Jiang Qiao didn't have time to look at it; she left it in the car and went straight home, as it wouldn't be convenient to take it back to school.

As luck would have it, I saw Jiang Mei carrying a small handbag coming out of the courtyard, followed by Aunt Zheng's veiled insults.

Jiang Mei used to hold her chin high whenever she saw Jiang Qiao, as if she were superior to others.

It's strange today; he actually took the initiative to greet Jiang Qiao.

"Jiang Qiao, what are you carrying? There's so much!"

Jiang Qiao smiled faintly, "Medicinal herbs—"

After saying that, she pushed the cart into the yard, but Jiang Mei clearly didn't want to end their conversation.

"Jiang Qiao, if you go into the mountains in the future, just call me and I'll go with you. I also want to go into the mountains to pick some mushrooms or something."

Jiang Qiao turned and glanced at her, then said, "I advise you not to go. It's too tiring. I don't plan to go into the mountains anytime soon either. I'm busy with my studies. If you want to go, you can find someone else."

Jiang Mei's words alerted Jiang Qiao. This Jiang Mei seemed to be very close to Cao Jingxuan. If this matter was not told by Cao Jingxuan, then it might be one of them.

She figured Jiang Xintong and the others definitely wouldn't tell this person about the gift she sent.

But what exactly does Jiang Mei mean by going into the mountains? Is it Cao Jingxuan and his group's idea, or is it just a spur-of-the-moment decision? Or is she trying to remind herself of something through this?

Jiang Qiao couldn't figure it out for a moment, but Jiang Mei was smug at this moment. She hated Jiang Qiao's usual expression, which made her seem indifferent to everything, as if she didn't care at all.

This time, she just wanted to make the little girl rack her brains. Wasn't the little girl supposed to be smart? Let her go back and think it over carefully.

However, Jiang Qiao did not do as Jiang Mei wished. If she couldn't figure it out, she stopped thinking about it. Those people were only interested in that place anyway. Since she had already discovered it, maybe the enemy was heading for that place, but just hadn't found it yet.
