At this moment, Zhang Erhu spoke up, "Alright, stop being pessimistic. We're about to run out of food. Hurry up and go out to find something to eat. If we're relying on them, we don't know when they'll be able to send food over."

"Jiang Qiao, how about we go dig up some rat holes? They might not have much meat, but it's still meat! It's been so long since we've had any real meat!"

The other two chimed in, "Yeah, at least this stuff is meat, it'll satisfy your cravings."

Zhang Erhu winked at Jiang Qiao, who of course noticed the silent man as well; he was the quietest of the four.

Jiang Qiao remembered that the man's name was Chen Qiusheng. Whether it was his real name or not, no one here really cared. Even Zhang Erhu was using a fake name. She was probably the only one with her real name.

Chen Qiusheng disagreed, saying, "Didn't the boss say we're not allowed to go into the mountains? If we go now, they definitely won't let us. We might as well just look for food by the river. Right now, as long as we have something to eat, everything will be easier once the grain is brought in. What do you guys think?"

Jiang Qiao waved her hand. "Alright, let's not cause any more trouble. Let's go see if there are any fish in the river again."

After Jiang Qiao and the others split up, Zhang Erhu took the opportunity to tell Jiang Qiao about the results of their investigation in a short period of time.

Jiang Qiao said calmly, "Okay, I understand. I estimate that they will make a move next. Nine times out of ten, they will try to kill me. I won't die, but they will stab me with those things. You should understand."

I plan to strike first. In a moment, you'll be in charge of communications with the outside world, making sure they're prepared.

"Then what can I do?"

Jiang Qiao paused for a moment, then said, "Keep an eye on that person. As for the others, you can act according to the situation. I have my own ideas about the rest."

Bai Qingping and the others were also afraid that Jiang Qiao would drug them. The medicinal materials they had obtained could not be used to make sedatives or poisons. Whenever Jiang Qiao needed something, they would give it to her on the spot. They were extremely wary of her.

The other party may have been calculating, but they couldn't have outsmarted Zhang Erhu. Besides, she had her spatial ability. With these two safeguards, she could manipulate these people at will.

While picking up snails by the river, Jiang Qiao muttered to himself, "I'm telling you, I'm going to make my move. These fish, shrimp, and crabs won't kill me, but they're not of much use to me anyway. You can handle the people on the mountain, and I'll take care of the people down below..."

After receiving the news, Liu Zhanyu quickly contacted Song Shutian: "Song, Qiao'er, they're about to take action. Will this affect you?"

Song Shutian just received some good news, and now he's even smiling as he speaks.

"This girl finally couldn't hold back anymore, so let her do it. Those people are useless for now."

The Japanese are already planning to send another force. The situation with the little girl is not good. If the enemy wants to make her obey, they will probably have to drug her.

Just cooperate fully with whatever she tells you to do. Remember, don't let her get away, otherwise, I'm out of luck too.

Song Shutian was holding back a big move. He had just intercepted a telegram from the Japanese, and the two sides had turned against each other. For some reason, that Lone Wolf was refusing to cooperate with the Japanese operation this time.

The old woman had no other choice but to personally order her subordinates to handle the matter. How could she not be happy?

After waiting for so long, it's finally time to confront that woman. I've been raising that old devil for so long, it's time for him to make his appearance.

He had interrogated the other party before, but this Sato had taken the act of feigning deafness to the extreme. Even when his guesses were close to the truth, this old Japanese devil remained calm and composed. Even Song Shutian had to admire him for this.

Song Shutian wouldn't simply assume that the herbal tea Jiang Qiao had for her stomachache was just tea, but since the girl said so, he went along with it.

Even Jiang Qiao had given up, and he felt that he didn't have Jiang Qiao's abilities. However, he still had the ability to make the old Japanese devil sick.

They put the person in the hospital, guarded it three or four times, and then put Sato Shizumi next door. With such a big bait, they were sure the enemy would fall for it.

If he handles things properly, Jiang Qiao can close the net. Once they take down the people inside, the woman hiding behind the scenes should be exposed.

Jiang Qiao didn't care what others thought; she just couldn't afford to get hurt.

She had observed this valley before, and apart from some common herbs, there was really nothing to rely on. She guessed that the other party had also investigated it beforehand, which was why they were so confident in letting her roam around in the valley.

After Bai Qingping finished her work, she finally had time to ask Ye Xiuhe and Jiang Qiao what their reactions were.

"I'm scared, really scared. She said she would consider it. When I left, she told you to come see her when you had time. I guess she was worried. We should get this acupuncture done. Maybe she'll tell you the whereabouts of the jade pendant and the medical book."

Bai Qingping snorted coldly, "She's a doctor after all, she knows how powerful that thing is. Does she really think she's fearless? Humph, she's nothing special."

However, I won't go now. I'll find her after dinner tonight. I need to keep her scared for a while. This little brat is lucky to be in our hands; otherwise, she'd be flying high.

She's ruined so many plans. Getting injections? That's letting her off easy. She's only somewhat useful now; otherwise, would I have let her off so easily?

Ye Xiuhe pressed further, "What, are you going to make your move tonight?"

Bai Qingping patted Ye Xiuhe on the shoulder with a disdainful expression.

“My dear lady, I haven’t even discussed this yet, so you don’t need to worry about it. You’d better set off now to pick up our car so it can be delivered tomorrow morning.”

Ye Xiuhe looked at Bai Qingping suspiciously. "So fast?"

Bai Qingping smiled and said, "This is already slow. It should have been delivered long ago. However, the checks on the way were very strict. This Jiang Qiao really has some ability to get so many people to mobilize for her."

"However, this is for the best. It makes things easier for our people. Take some dry rations and two people and set off. Bring the food back as soon as possible, so we don't have any accidents due to food shortages."

Ye Xiuhe pointed to herself in surprise, "I brought two people, Bai Qingping. How are the three of us supposed to get this in? Carry it on our shoulders? Don't forget, this is in the mountains."

Bai Qingping shrugged. "If you don't want to starve to death, then this is the only way. Otherwise, who do you think we should send?"

Those hidden sentries can't be removed, and we're already being generous with the two visible sentries we're given. We only have a handful of men we can mobilize, so just bear with it; there's nothing we can do about it.
