"Have another piece."

Lu Jingchuan insisted on feeding her the food and updated her on the progress: "We've confirmed Xu Wei's true identity. The people we've deployed to the island across the river aren't the same group we captured in the mountains last time. This operation has identified a number of potential intruders, and the grain shipment was successfully intercepted. Xu Qingsheng used two of his most capable assistants as scapegoats. The grain will be delivered to its intended destination tomorrow."

"Where is Xu Wei?" Gong Linglong only cared about her.

"She contacted her accomplice hiding in Inspection Team 2 yesterday morning and was released that afternoon. However, she suffered a severe beating in Inspection Team 1. She's now afraid to return and has asked her accomplice to cover up for her, falsely claiming she was abducted by human traffickers on her way to visit relatives in the city. She was injured while resisting and is now recovering in the hospital."

Gong Linglong smiled when she heard this: "It seems that the troops will receive the news after daybreak."

Lu Jingchuan nodded. All of Xu Wei's actions were under their close surveillance, and the people she contacted were also being watched. They would deploy a plan later and wait for the right opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop.

"Brother Jing, Xu Wei was very close to Meng Xiaoying before. She must have approached Meng Xiaoying with a purpose. Do you think the Meng family is involved?" Gong Linglong was a little curious about this.

"It's hard to say now."

Lu Jingchuan has already sent people to investigate, but time is tight and no useful clues have been found yet.

Gong Linglong didn't ask any more questions about other things. After he finished his meal, she immediately stood up to collect the dishes and urged him to go back to his room: "Brother Jing, go to bed quickly."

"Linglong, I'm taking a day off tomorrow. I'll go with you to pick up our mother."

"Mom told us not to pick her up when she came back last week. She took the bus back by herself. You've been too busy and worked too hard lately. It's a rare day to rest at home. Get some sleep at home tomorrow morning." Gong Linglong turned off the lights and pulled him back to his room to sleep.
