Jiang Qiao smiled and shook her head. "Don't say that. You've already tried your best. Besides, there are many enemy agents, not just in this area."

Your individual efforts are limited, and besides, that wolf is more cunning than we anticipated. So, it's normal that we haven't caught it yet. I'll say it again: as long as it's still alive, it will eventually fall into our hands.

Ning Hao got up and went out. Jiang Qiao didn't know what he was going out to do. After a short while, he brought Jiang Qiao a bowl of hot vegetable and millet porridge.

"Jiang Qiao, have some too. You can't eat all this meat, but you can have some porridge."

Jiang Qiao smiled and took the food, then patted the person next to her, signaling Ning Hao to sit down. While eating, she asked him why he had changed careers.

"Why did you make this decision without consulting me?"

Ning Hao's eyes sparkled, and his expression was sickeningly sweet.

“I told you, but you didn’t answer, so I’ll take that as a yes.”

Jiang Qiao rolled her eyes at him. "Nonsense! I've already gone through that, how can you answer me? Let me tell you, from now on, we need to discuss things together, understand?"

Ning Hao scratched the back of his head, looking a bit silly, and then laughed even more foolishly. "I understand, I understand. From now on, I will definitely discuss our family matters with you."

Jiang Qiao waved her hand. "We'll talk about our business when we get home. I'll talk to Brother Song first. He's short on time and probably won't be staying here for long."

Ning Hao nodded, gave up his seat next to Jiang Qiao, and went to find Song Zhi and the others to drink and chat.

"Brother Song, tell me, what happened after I collapsed? Did that old woman confess anything?"

Speaking of work, Song Shutian couldn't help but admire Jiang Qiao's dedication. "You've only just woken up, and you're already concerned about things from before."

"She didn't say a single useful word. She doesn't know anything. She only appeared in the snowy mountains because she heard that the medicinal effects there were particularly good and came to collect ginseng. She denies everything else, so don't even think about getting the information we need from her."

I've tried before, but unfortunately, this woman is as stubborn as a mule.

"What is her background and identity?"

Song Shutian gave a wry smile. "This woman is quite cunning. You should know Zhao Anbang, right? This old woman is his sister's stepmother-in-law, a distant relative."

After this woman's incident, the Yang family was affected to some extent.

After you collapsed, Director Jiang also developed health problems, so he is now in a semi-retired state.

"Let's talk about work once you're better. Four years have passed, and a lot has happened; it's impossible to cover everything in a short time."

Jiang Qiao nodded. There were some things she couldn't rush, otherwise, she might give herself away.

“You guys, go and rest. I’m standing guard all by myself. I’ve been lying down for four years now, and I don’t want to sleep anytime soon.”

They ate and drank, and chatted until almost midnight. Jiang Qiao then urged everyone to go back to their rooms to rest.

Finally, Ning Hao stayed with her, giving them time to talk, as Song Shutian put it. Besides, with these two on guard duty, anyone who dared to come wouldn't have the ability to go back.

So the others went back to their rooms to sleep peacefully, and those who slept that night had the sweetest sleep of all.

Jiang Qiao and Ning Hao talked all night, from going to the battlefield to everything that happened in the four years since she left.

Although it was said in a brief manner, every word touched Jiang Qiao's heart.

"Do you regret making this choice? What if I never wake up? What will you do then? Just keep dragging this on?"

Ning Hao smiled as he held Jiang Qiao's hand, his face full of affection, and said, "I believe you won't lie here forever. God sent you to my side with great difficulty; He won't be so cruel."

Of course, if you really don't wake up, I've already thought it through. I'll stay by your side and live out my days. If we're old and you still haven't woken up, and I can't take care of you anymore, we'll just take some medicine and be done with it. That way, we can at least be buried together."

Jiang Qiao sighed and shook her head. "I really don't know whether to say I'm touched or that you're too stubborn."

If I hadn't come back, wouldn't your life have been hopeless?

Ning Hao patted Jiang Qiao's hand and said, "What do you mean by hopelessness? You should say that I've finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel."

It's rare for me to be so persistent in my life, but for you, I feel it's worth it. See, now, haven't I gotten you back?

Jiang Qiao raised an eyebrow and looked at Ning Hao. "Aren't you worried that once I wake up, I still won't agree to marry you? What will you do then? You're not getting any younger, it won't be so easy to find a younger wife."

Ning Hao, he doesn't care about that at all. "At that point, who do you think you can marry? You're not getting any younger, would you compromise yourself? So, the two of us are the most suitable, at least we can see each other, and we're both comfortable, right?"

Jiang Qiao pinched Ning Hao's cheek. "You're really good at scheming. I didn't expect you to have even considered this."

Ning Hao has a very thick skin. "That's right. If I don't keep a close eye on my own wife, what else can I do?"

"Jiang Qiao, you're awake now. You're getting on in years, shouldn't you start thinking about us? I'm almost twenty-eight, and if I don't find a wife soon, I'll become a real problem."

Jiang Qiao patted Ning Hao's shoulder playfully, "Don't worry, I'll definitely be able to get you a wife. But have you thought about it? Your wife has already been killed once. I can't even guarantee when it will happen again, or whether she'll come back to life."

Therefore, the most important task is to catch this culprit so that we can live in peace afterward.

Ning Hao agreed and recounted the findings of his investigation over the past few years to Jiang Qiao.

"I'm so confused. Who is this person? Those who saw him were either masked or met him at night, so they couldn't see his face clearly at all."

Jiang Qiao snorted, "That means that Lone Wolf is also afraid. In other words, some of the people he's been in contact with must have seen him before, which is why he did this."

Oh, by the way, could you look into Yang Anxiu's matter for me later...?

Jiang Qiao briefly told Ning Hao about her encounter with the other party and her suspicions, "I can't tell Song Shutian and the others either. It's more appropriate for you to handle this. What excuse do you have? You didn't go find it yourself."

Ning Hao didn't expect that Jiang Qiao would encounter this matter on her way back. "You're really amazing. You're too busy taking care of yourself, yet you still manage to meddle in this. Alright, leave this to me."

"Tell me, we've at least reunited after a long time, so why do I feel like we're an old married couple? Didn't you notice?"

Jiang Qiao smiled brightly, "Isn't this great? We've advanced directly, saving us the ten-year adjustment period. This is something others can only envy."

"Alright, help me walk a bit. With these legs, I'll need some time to adjust. My nutrition and exercise aren't keeping up, and I'm starting to lose control."
