The young man glanced at Jiang Qiao. She was dressed similarly to them, but the girl in front of him was quite thin. However, her delicate face gave people a feeling of pity.

"Hey, we're leaving in a bit. Whose family are you? Why don't you come with us and take a look?"

Jiang Qiao feigned weakness and wiped away non-existent sweat. "Well, I came here with my mother to see my father a while ago. I've been sick ever since we arrived, but I'm only just starting to feel better, so I came to see if there's anything I can do to help."

The young man suddenly realized, "No wonder I didn't recognize you. You've been staying home all this time. You must be having trouble adjusting to the new environment. Come on, I'll take you out today to broaden your horizons and show you what happens to those bad guys."

Jiang Qiao turned around and looked around. "Where is he? I'll go over and punch him a couple of times to teach him a lesson."

The young man smiled and said, "He's been locked out by us. We'll have to go outside to see him. Do you want to come with us?"

Jiang Qiao frowned slightly. "Um, I need to tell my family. I'm afraid they'll worry. My mother is outside. I'll just grab some medicine and come back, okay?"

The young man nodded cheerfully, "Okay, I'll wait for you here. Don't worry about your mother, I'll take care of you."

Watching Jiang Qiao leave, the young man grinned foolishly. This girl was really beautiful; he had never seen a girl more beautiful than her, especially her skin, which was so smooth.

They had never seen such good skin before. Because of the strong winds and sand, Jiang Qiao's face was absolutely otherworldly in their eyes. Of course, Jiang Qiao was beautiful to begin with.

As soon as they stepped outside, Jiang Qiao waved to Song Shutian. "What's wrong? What's the matter?"

He briefly told Song Shutian where these people were going, "Quickly send someone to follow them; I'll go with them."

Song Shutian gave Jiang Qiao a thumbs up and said, "Wow, you're really something, actually setting your sights on these people."

Jiang Qiao chuckled twice. "That's right. I'm still young. If you sneak in like this, people will definitely be suspicious. So, I'm the only one who can handle it. Let me tell you, I might not be able to control these people. I'm afraid there will be chaos."

You absolutely must send someone to follow them. If they provoke you, I won't care about key personnel or anything like that.

"Don't worry, I'll arrange it right away—"

When Jiang Qiao went back in, she became even more familiar with the young men. When they saw Jiang Qiao's unfamiliar face, some even asked her questions.

"Who is she, and what is she doing here?"

Jiang Qiao's appearance has not been without its doubts.

"Could it be that they infiltrated our team to cause trouble?"

The young man retorted, "What are you saying? Does she look like she's causing trouble? She just arrived and has been sick at home ever since. Think about it, when you first came here, didn't you also suffer from acclimatization issues?"

"They've only just come to our organization because they're in trouble. What kind of attitude is this? You can't do this! Turning your own comrades away! If you're going to do this, I'm not going either."

Jiang Qiao grabbed the young man and said, "No, please don't fight over me. I was just bored at home and wanted to come over and feel the atmosphere. If you don't welcome me, then I won't bother you anymore."

The young people on the bus chimed in, "No way! We've finally got a newcomer, how could we possibly refuse? Hurry up and get on the bus, they're waiting for us over there."

Jiang Qiao glanced helplessly at the young man beside her, who urged her, "Go for it, I'll protect you."

One by one, everyone boarded the bus. Soon, three people walked in from outside: one woman and two men. Jiang Qiao glanced at the woman and, if she wasn't mistaken, this woman should be Feng Lan.

"Captain, we've been waiting for you! Hurry up and get in the car—"

Feng Lan readily replied, "Have you brought everything?"

The people on the bus replied impatiently, "Everything's ready, we're just waiting for you, let's get going."

Jiang Qiao stood on the back of the car and set off with a group of young people. As the car started, a cloud of dust flew up, and Jiang Qiao couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her face.

The young woman next to her scoffed, "Someone like you wants to join our team? You're acting like a bourgeois lady. People like you should be reformed."

Jiang Qiao glared at him and said, "Who are you talking about? You have no right to speak without investigation. Do you know that I have asthma? If you don't take care of it, the consequences can be severe, and it might even be fatal."

If you don't know the reason, shut your stinking mouth. You're the only one making revolutions, while everyone else is just a bourgeois. Don't think too highly of yourself.

"If we were really living during the time of fighting the Japanese, who knows who might have been a traitor? If you haven't experienced it, don't talk nonsense. This time, I'll forgive you for now, but if you dare to spout nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth apart."

Jiang Qiao's demeanor immediately impressed everyone around her. At first, they thought this girl was like Lin Daiyu, but now it seems she has a strong spirit and mentality. Look, even the sharp-tongued Jiajia Sparrow here has met his match this time, hasn't she?

The young woman glared angrily at Jiang Qiao, "You, you're being unreasonable—"

Jiang Qiao glared back. "Hmph, do you really think I'm easy to bully? My mother said that you can't suffer a loss no matter what you eat. Don't even think about bullying a weak woman like me. If you keep nagging, you'll see if I can tear your mouth off."

This time, the woman didn't dare to argue with Jiang Qiao. She didn't know anything about him. He looked frail, but he was actually quite capable. It was best not to say anything.

The men around Jiang Qiao looked at her with admiration. They had often been teased by Jiajia Que, and this time someone had finally helped them vent their anger.

"Keep your mouth shut. I brought this person with me. If anything happens, I won't be able to explain it to her parents. Don't forget, she's sick and hasn't recovered yet. If she gets seriously ill from this, can your family afford to compensate her?"

Well, with just that one sentence, the young woman completely turned away from Jiang Qiao. Jiang Qiao smiled and nodded to the young man beside her.

"Thanks, but I don't mean to cause trouble. It's just that I can't bear the blame for this."

The young people around them nodded in agreement, saying, "We understand—"

As for the extent to which she understood, Jiang Qiao had no idea. However, these were just minor incidents on the road. She originally wanted to see what was going on behind her, but unfortunately, she was standing in front with someone protecting her from behind, so she couldn't see anything even if she wanted to.

After driving for almost two hours, Jiang Qiao and her group finally arrived at their destination. Seeing the people in the car greeting the people below with great enthusiasm, as if they had been injected with chicken blood, Jiang Qiao felt that Zhao Anbang was most likely being held captive by his subordinates.

After getting off the bus with everyone, they followed the group to the backyard of a house. When they saw Zhao Anbang being escorted out, even Jiang Qiao could hardly bear to look at him.

The kind old man from back then didn't look like this at all. If she didn't have a good memory, she wouldn't have been able to connect the person she saw on the train back then with the bruised and battered man in front of her.

"Let's go, take everyone, let's set off—"
