The three people cooking in the kitchen kept an eye on what was happening next door.

"Why is there no sound? Why aren't they saying anything?"

The man snorted, "What can we talk about? Two strangers, what can we possibly have to talk about? Hurry up and bring the food up. Go and find someone to come over. Tell them her daughter sent her."

The woman asked worriedly, "Will this work? Didn't you say this girl is shrewd? Will her mother fall for it?"

The man snorted coldly, "How will you know if you don't try? Let me tell you, your future wealth depends on these two. Go now."

After the girl arrived at the fishing grounds, she went straight to find the person Jiang Qiao had told her about.

This person was none other than someone Ning Hao had asked her to inquire about. She remembered the name. As for what this person did, Jiang Qiao didn't ask, but someone whose identity Ning Hao could help her inquire about must be trustworthy.

Therefore, Jiang Qiao asked Hua'er to find someone to help.

The girl really didn't disappoint Jiang Qiao. She's an island resident, so finding someone is definitely no problem for her.

Although there were people watching, she recognized the man. With a little leniency, Gao Tiejun, whom Hua'er was looking for, soon came out. When she saw the half-old man approaching, Hua'er didn't know what he did, but the situation was urgent, so she could only tell him the truth.

"Comrade Gao, Jiang Qiao sent me to see you. This is what she wrote. Please take a look; she said the situation is urgent."

Upon hearing the name Jiang Qiao, Gao Tiejun's expression changed. He took the note and immediately understood what was going on.

He had not only heard of Jiang Qiao, but also heard his superiors mention him, and of course, his son had also brought him up.

"Girl, go back and keep an eye on things for your uncle. If anything seems amiss, quickly go to the team and call for help. If nothing happens, just wait outside."

He turned around and shouted at his fellow sufferers inside, "Everyone in the house who can still breathe, come out! We have a mission, hurry up! And you outside, come over here too, I have something to discuss with you."

The people on duty outside saw Hua'er and Gao Tiejun whispering to each other, but at first they didn't care. No matter what these people did before, they were now under their jurisdiction, so they weren't afraid of them causing any trouble.

Because of these people's identities, this person's attitude was clearly not much better: "What's wrong? What's wrong? Speak quickly."

Gao Tiejun was no longer the dejected man he once was; now, with his military background, he exuded a murderous aura.

"Comrade, do you want to make a contribution?"

The man rolled his eyes. "Nonsense, who doesn't want to make a name for themselves? What's the matter? Speak up."

Gao Tiejun whispered a few words in the other person's ear, and Hua'er Girl saw that the eyes of everyone in their village widened.

Are you telling the truth?

Gao Tiejun snorted, "I'm already here, do you think I would joke about something like this?"

At this moment, everyone inside came out. "What's going on? What's going on, Lao Gao? What are you up to?"

After spending so much time together, Gao Tiejun has basically figured out what kind of people they are and what their personalities are. It's not impossible that there are bad people hiding among them, but there are some people he knows and understands.

He called out each of them by name, saying, "You guys are going out with me to do something big. It's risky; you might lose your lives. Anyone who wants to come with me, step forward."

Those who knew the details immediately stepped forward, while others remained still. Gao Tiejun observed that those who did move were, like him, former soldiers, exuding a steely and tough aura.

“That’s good. These few people are enough. You guys stay here for now. If needed, I’ll call someone to help.”

The young man asked eagerly, "What about me? What do I need to do?"

You can't blame him for being anxious. If things are really as this old man said, then it's a huge problem. There are enemy agents on their island. What does that mean? If things go wrong, everyone could suffer.

But if you don't believe it, the old man said that Jiang Qiao is on their island. Who is Jiang Qiao? They learned about his deeds back then.

During the initial training, the leaders sent from above used Jiang Qiao as an example. He was the most famous person to emerge from their county in recent years. He didn't think the other party was joking when they brought up Jiang Qiao. Even if they were joking, he had to take it seriously this time. Jiang Qiao was really in danger, and they couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

"Old comrade, just tell me, what should I do?"

Gao Tiejun beckoned the other man closer, and the young man listened and nodded. "Okay, let's do it this way, let's go—"

There's nothing else for Flower Girl to do here. She remembers the old man telling her to keep an eye on things when she gets back, and she has to complete her mission.

For the first time, she felt a heavy burden on her shoulders. You can imagine that the mother and daughter living in their house must be extraordinary to be someone so respected by so many people.

The high-speed rail team acted swiftly, splitting up with their veteran colleagues and the younger team.

The old man had led troops and fought battles before. Although he had been transferred to local command, he was still adept at military strategy and deployment. After arranging the men along the way, he led the young men into the fishing grounds.

In a room at the fish farm, Jian Ling was locked in a struggle with a man. She hadn't expected that coming in with the letter of introduction given to her by Jiang Qiao would lead to such a situation.

You know, she was dressed quite conservatively, and although her clothes were a bit old, there were no flaws. Not to mention, she had a very friendly expression. She just didn't know how the other person recognized that she was different from others.

She went to the section chief's office as directed, but before she could even exchange a few words, someone attacked her from behind. Do you think she could tolerate that?

Since they couldn't have a proper conversation, they decided to settle things with force. However, she didn't expect that the person who attacked her was the one she was tracking, and the section chief had also joined the fight.

Jianling felt that physical strength wasn't a problem when fighting one person, but two people, especially men, might have been manageable twenty years ago. However, she was getting older, and youth had its advantages. After taking a punch from her opponent, Jianling didn't want to continue fighting.

She still remembered what Hou Diankui had said: she might suffer a loss here, but a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. Besides, she was a woman, and she wanted to make a run for her life, but the other party blocked her way out.

"Help! Someone, please help!"

She had barely uttered the word when she was struck on the back of the head, and then someone grabbed her neck from behind.

Jian Ling wrapped her arms around the other person's arms, but unfortunately, she wasn't strong enough. She felt increasingly difficult to breathe and even felt like she was about to suffocate. In that instant, she thought of Jiang Qiao. If something had happened to her, was Jiang Qiao in the same situation?
