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...
Jiang Qiao turned around to look for Ning Hao, only to find that he was gone. She guessed that he had most likely gone to see Old Master Hou, and wondered how the old man was doing.
He turned around and went out to ask someone what the interrogation was about.
"We are still interrogating you, Comrade Jiang Qiao. We are so glad you were here today, otherwise we would not know what to do."
Jiang Qiao sighed, "I was lucky. Luckily, there were some people mixed in with us. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so sure."
After exchanging a few words, Jiang Qiao directly asked for Gu Zhengfeng's phone number.
Gu Zhengfeng was actually quite troubled. He had heard about his older brother's situation and had asked several of his comrades for help. They hadn't refused, but it would take time.
But he knew perfectly well that his older brother was in trouble with these people, and that's why he was worried.
Just then, Jiang Qiao called. Upon hearing his daughter's voice, Gu Zhengfeng was so excited that he didn't know where to begin.
"Girl, you're completely healed?"
"Alright, Dad, let's get straight to the point. I'm in the provincial capital. I've already picked up Uncle and he's in the hospital. He's fine, so you can focus on your work. I'll take care of things here soon. Don't worry about things at home. I'll have Mom bring my brother to visit you later."
When Gu Zhengfeng heard the news, his heart pounded wildly. He didn't know what method his daughter had used to get his older brother out, but he knew that this matter couldn't be simple.
"Qiao'er, are you alright?"
Jiang Qiao laughed happily on the other end of the phone, "Dad, I'm fine, don't worry. I'll contact you if anything happens. Just stay home and wait patiently. I won't say any more. We'll talk again when we have time."
Gu Zhengfeng wanted to say a few more words to Jiang Qiao, but he also understood why his daughter was in such a hurry to hang up the phone. Wasn't it inconvenient to talk about some things over the phone?
However, as long as his older brother is alright, that's all that matters. There is hope as long as one is alive. Since the child didn't mention anything else about his older brother, Gu Zhengfeng naturally wasn't worried. Even if he was sick or injured, with Jiang Qiao around, he really wasn't worried about anything. It was just that his daughter had suffered.
Jiang Qiao put down the phone and sighed deeply. She also had so much to say to her father, but unfortunately, she couldn't say it over the phone.
"What's wrong? You look so worried. Girl, has someone made things difficult for you?"
When Song Zhi and the others finished their business and came in, they saw Jiang Qiao staring blankly at the ceiling.
Seeing someone come in, Jiang Qiao snapped out of her reverie and smiled, "How's it going? Is everything settled? Have all the people who needed to be arrested been arrested?"
Speaking of this, Song Zhi and the others who had followed him in were somewhat frustrated, especially Song Zhi, who slammed his fist on the table in anger, "We caught one, one escaped, and one is still missing—"
Jiang Qiao sighed, "It's not a complete loss yet. We'll catch them sooner or later. I reckon Master Hou and the others will give you a surprise in a little while. Just wait and see."
By the way, have you submitted the materials yet?
Song Zhi nodded. "When I was called away by the leader today, I handed it over to the bureau chief."
How is your uncle? Is he alright?
Jiang Qiao sighed, "I almost died, but I should be alright for now. My older brother is staying by my side to take care of me. I'll be taking people over there in a bit. Follow up on the interrogation here and see who wrote that anonymous letter and who else is targeting my uncle."
I'm going to take those people to solve my uncle's problem now—"
Song Zhi didn't stop him, saying, "Alright, just be careful and don't try to stand out."
When Jiang Qiao arrived, the group had just finished eating. "Everyone," Jiang Qiao said, "now that we've eaten, let's do one more good deed. Since you've made such a big fuss about my uncle's matter, you have to take responsibility for cleaning up the mess."
So, I need to ask everyone to come with me and explain things clearly, is that alright? My strength alone is ultimately limited, but you are different; many hands make light work, and your words naturally carry authority. Will you come with me?"
"Why not? Let's go right now!"
In just half a day, everyone felt like they had met Jiang Qiao sooner than expected. This was the hero in their hearts, the role model they were meant to learn from. What were their petty squabbles compared to this? This guy was truly ruthless.
On the way, someone gave Jiang Qiao some advice: "You can't show yourself directly about this. You have to see what we do. After all, you've only just woken up, and there are some things you don't understand. Only help us when we're no longer effective."
Jiang Qiao couldn't be happier. She really didn't have any experience dealing with people, and in this respect, she was no match for these young people in front of her.
"Okay, I'll listen to you guys. You're experts in this area, I still have a lot to learn from you—"
To be honest, Jiang Qiao couldn't learn from this experience. Although they were close in age, Jiang Qiao couldn't help but sigh inwardly at their demeanor, realizing that she was truly getting old and couldn't keep up with the mindset of these native young people.
These people aren't such scoundrels if they're properly guided; they're just too young and don't know how to release their excess energy and passion.
Look, they just shouted slogans all the way to the door, and even the old man at the gate was very polite to these young people, let alone going inside. Jiang Qiao thought that even if she came, she probably wouldn't get such a nice smile.
It must be admitted that the gathering of so many young people is indeed a force that no one can ignore, no wonder those enemy agents have their eyes on these people.
Jiang Qiao didn't even need to say anything; the people who had been shouting slogans earlier directly explained their purpose and described Gu Zhengkai's situation in a way that was even more impressive and respectable than Jiang Qiao's original explanation.
Jiang Qiao originally thought that handling this matter would be difficult, but to her surprise, when these people took action, the Revolutionary Committee sent representatives to receive them very warmly and listen to their demands.
They said that the supervisor and relevant leaders are not available. Once the leaders return, they will immediately report the issue and, after the matter is investigated, will make a proper decision.
Although it sounded like official jargon, at least the attitude was decent.
Jiang Qiao's group isn't so easily fooled; they're all educated and have some education. If we're really talking about cultural level, these young people are probably much more knowledgeable than the person sitting here. Although they're at a disadvantage because of their age, they're not so easily fooled either.
"Comrade, we heard when we came that Gu Zhengkai's supporting documents have been submitted here. I hope you can implement and resolve this as soon as possible."
It is our problem, and we will go back and conduct a self-examination and rectification. However, there is one question you need to understand: why did we arrest Gu Zhengkai?
We don't know him either. The news that Gu Zhengkai is a traitor came from your side.
As staff members, you spread this information without verification. Aren't you being irresponsible?
Especially since this involves the reputation and status of a veteran comrade, we demand a thorough investigation and hope you can give us an explanation as soon as possible.
We will keep an eye on this matter, and we will come over again after your supervisor returns to work.
