Jiang Qiao stood up and said, "Just for your kind intentions, I should send you some wine before the New Year. You just wait."

Chen Fang rubbed his hands together, grinning broadly. "Thanks, girl!"

Jiang Qiao waved her hand and said, "You're too kind. They were all brought from the mountain and didn't cost much. I'm leaving now. Contact me if you need anything. I'll come back to report for duty once I've settled things at home."

After watching Jiang Qiao leave, Chen Fang sighed. He understood why the girl had said those things earlier, given Jiang Qiao's current situation.

Given the current situation in the Gu family, everyone is busy, some are away in other places, and there's simply no one to take care of the elderly at home. They can only rely on Jiang Qiao. Thinking about what her colleagues are saying, this girl has it tough.

Jiang Qiao didn't think too much about it. After going out, she started shopping at the department store. She needed to buy clothes for her family for the New Year as soon as possible, otherwise she wouldn't have time to buy them in the following days.

After wandering around for a while, her basket was full, and she had to leave even if she didn't want to. This place was too expensive, Jiang Qiao thought to herself. Luckily, she had some savings. Otherwise, relying on her salary, she probably could only make ends meet, and it would be almost impossible to eat well or dress nicely.

Not to mention supporting the old man at home, everything requires money. Fortunately, there are many things she doesn't need to spend money to buy, otherwise, anyone would have a headache.

Just as she was about to leave, her eyes flashed and she saw Jiang Hong and Niu Guihua, the mother and daughter shopping. Judging from their happy expressions, it seemed like they had some good news.

It's no wonder Jiang Qiao thought that way, because the mother and daughter were choosing quilt covers, and they were both bright red. She just couldn't understand who in the Jiang family was getting married.

Jiang He? It's highly unlikely. Putting aside her reputation, given her current situation, no one would want to push a perfectly good girl into a fire pit, right?

If possible, it would require the Jiang family to pay a hefty price. But considering the Jiang family, unless it's Jiang Hong...

Jiang Hong has the money, but can she give it to Jiang He? And then have Niu Guihua come and disturb her carefree life?

Come to think of it, some of them seem unlikely, or perhaps they were bought for the two sisters?

She really didn't know much about it. She hadn't heard that Jiang Hong had found a boyfriend. Given the current reputation of the two sisters, it seemed like finding a partner would be a bit difficult. But it wasn't like they couldn't find anyone. The other party didn't care about such things, so it wouldn't be difficult for the two sisters to get married.

However, she was well aware of the common trait between the two Jiang sisters: when it came to finding a husband, the two sisters had extremely high standards.

She shook her head, indicating that these things had nothing to do with her, turned around, and left with light steps.

However, what Jiang Qiao didn't know was that Song Shutian was almost frantically busy because of her words.

The feedback from all sides made Song Shutian restless.

There's something fishy about this mental hospital. It's not that they don't want to go in directly, but what if there's a secret passage or something inside? If they go in and the other side hears the news, wouldn't that be a loss?

"Director, this is a message just sent over from below. Take a look. Someone really did go in yesterday. Two people, one a patient and the other a family member accompanying them. They don't know their names, they only know they were two women."

Song Shutian glanced at the documents and his brows furrowed instantly.

That's all?

Speaking of this, Zhang Dalei also had a headache. "I feel like we've gone in the wrong direction. According to the information our people have gathered, this place seems perfectly normal."

However, perhaps time is too short, and the information we can get in such a short time is limited, so we cannot go in directly yet.

I learned this news from an old man who was resting at home and tending a boiler.

The others are asking the medical staff on their days off; you'll have to wait.

"Boss, are you sure these people could be hiding in a place like this?"

Song Shutian sighed, "Do you have a better idea? We've tracked this person down here and then lost contact. We've already taken action, and we can't just wait for news to come. We might as well take the initiative."

Besides, even though Jiang Qiao said it casually, don't forget how Lone Wolf was caught last time.

That's how we finally caught them – it was just a casual chat between the couple.

You can't use normal thinking to judge those people. I think Jiang Qiao's idea might be valid.

"Now, get our people in there immediately, whether they're dressed as patients or just going in to work. Have as many as possible."

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away."

As soon as Zhang Dalei left, Liu Zhanyu arrived. "Director, the materials you requested have arrived. This is the design blueprint for this hospital. I also inquired with an old colleague who used to work at this hospital, and the clues he provided are very important. Please take a look."

Let me tell you, I'm so glad I have an old acquaintance here. Otherwise, where would I find someone who knows me so well?

In those days, those who knew about the situation in this hospital were either dead or had disappeared without a trace, making it really difficult to find out the truth in a short period of time.

By the way, there's no underground passage on the blueprints, but there is one in this hospital. It was dug later, and other people don't know about it, but my old friend knows. He discovered this tunnel by accident once.

However, he didn't dare go down, fearing that he would be discovered and get into trouble. He also didn't know what the inside of the tunnel was like.

If I hadn't asked, he probably would never have told me in his life, "The predecessor of this hospital, as you know, was originally run by foreigners. Later, they took over, and then after liberation, it came under the control of the people."

Song Shutian glanced at Liu Zhanyu and said, "How about we transfer Jiang Qiao over here?"

Liu Zhanyu was reluctant to let Jiang Qiao go through all that trouble. "No need, that child just got married not long ago, and the New Year is just around the corner. We can manage on our own, right?"

Song Shutian patted Liu Zhanyu on the shoulder. "Old Liu, since Jiang Qiao isn't coming, you can go. I'll arrange for you to work there later. What do you think?"

Liu Zhanyu gave a wry smile. "You've been holding back a big move, waiting for me here."

Okay, I'll follow your instructions. But let me tell you, Jiang Qiao really can't come. That kid is probably an enemy agent; they all know something about her situation.

Her arrival would be like stirring up trouble, you absolutely mustn't even consider it. Let that girl stay home and make medicine; right now, that's the most suitable identity for her."

How could Song Shutian not know this? "Don't worry, I won't use that girl unless it's absolutely necessary. Lao Liu, go and discuss with Lao Zhang how many people to go in and how to arrange them. You two discuss it. I only need your results from going in. You need to find out what's going on inside as soon as possible."

Liu Zhanyu nodded and went out. Actually, he also wanted to find out what was so strange about this hospital as soon as possible.
