Zhang Zhiyang spoke to Feng Yan with a smile on his face, but a hint of impatience was also evident.
"We've already eaten, why do you keep asking what the point is? This is your fault too. Before we came, you only told me he was just an ordinary friend. But this friend of yours is anything but ordinary. From now on, you should get along well with his family..."
Feng Yan frowned slightly. "Old Zhang, what do you mean by that? Just because someone's husband is a military leader, does that mean I have to get along well with her and build good relationships with her? In your eyes, my former classmates are considered unnecessary contacts."
Feng Yan is a very sensitive and perceptive person. She only senses that her husband is being a little too enthusiastic towards Wen Qiao's husband, Shen Jichuan.
But in her memory, her husband was not like that.
However, her husband, Zhang Zhiyang, had indeed told her before that there was no need to maintain unnecessary relationships that had no practical benefit.
Like her high school classmates, they were just ordinary classmates, with no connection in terms of work or family.
But there is this friendship that we maintained during high school.
After people bumped into her by chance, they got to know each other again and learned that Feng Yan was taking care of her child at home. Of course, this was on the premise that Feng Yan had concealed her work.
They even came to visit her and her child, Zhang Miao.
But in her husband's eyes, high school classmates are people he should never associate with.
Her husband, Zhang Zhiyang, was meeting Wen Qiao's husband, Shen Jichuan, for the first time today. Besides, Shen Jichuan is a military leader; what does he have to do with him?
What does this have to do with Feng Yan?
She only knew Wen Qiao; Wen Qiao had saved her life abroad.
Due to the special nature of her work, Feng Yan was required by her organization not to disclose all of her work to her family, including her husband, and there was a period of confidentiality required.
Feng Yan has not yet told her husband the truth about her work abroad.
But Feng Yan felt that it was best for no one to say anything about this.
Loving this country and loving her husband Zhang Zhiyang are not contradictory at all.
Feng Yan found it a bit strange, though, as her husband shouldn't be like this.
Zhang Zhiyang seemed afraid that Feng Yan would overthink things, so he kept telling her that he and Shen Jichuan were like old friends who had known each other for a long time.
Besides, the fact that his daughter from the Shen family was very friendly to his daughter shows that the children are destined to be together.
Zhang Zhiyang also said that Feng Yan should take her child to visit Wen Qiao's family more often in the future.
Thinking about how the three Shen family members took care of her daughter Zhang Miao, Feng Yan felt that it was indeed a very good thing.
But she also knows that not constantly troubling others is a form of good manners.
***
After Feng Yan and Zhang Zhiyang and Zhang Miao left, Wen Qiao turned around, intending to talk to Shen Jichuan, but then noticed that there were still children playing in the yard.
Shen Jichuan knew what Wen Qiao wanted to ask, so he took her to the study to talk.
Shen Jichuan briefly recounted his conversation with Zhang Zhiyang to Wen Qiao.
Wen Qiao sat calmly in the chair opposite Shen Jichuan and asked, "So what do you think Zhang Zhiyang's identity might be?"
Shen Jichuan said, "It's either pure gossip and curiosity, or it's espionage. I suspect the latter, so I'll be as vigilant as possible when contacting Feng Yan in the future."
"There's something else. I think the person who reported Feng Yan's job might be her husband. We need to investigate Zhang Zhiyang's true identity."
Wen Qiaomian was serious.
"Have you not checked the previous employers of Feng Yan or Zhang Zhiyang?"
Shen Jichuan said, "Feng Yan's workplace might have already placed some trust in him because he happens to be her husband. As for Zhang Zhiyang's original workplace, it's not a classified unit, so they won't investigate personal background issues very strictly."
However, if the investigation is based on the political affiliation within the military, then the scope of the investigation becomes much broader.
Wen Qiao immediately said, "Then I'll keep in touch with Feng Yan in the future. I don't want to involve you because of her husband's affairs."
As Wen Qiao spoke, she glanced at Shen Jichuan and said, "He seems quite interested in you."
Shen Jichuan reached out and grabbed Wen Qiao's hand, squeezing her palm.
He explained, "He wasn't interested in me, but in the content of my work."
Shen Jichuan had a bold guess: among the people Zhang Zhiyang had come into contact with, there weren't many who held such a high position as him, which was why Zhang Zhiyang had shown great interest.
“He doesn’t dislike sake. At first, he pretended to decline, saying he wasn’t good at drinking, but you see, he actually drank the most from the last bottle, and he didn’t feel any discomfort.”
"You suspect he's from Japan?" Wen Qiao immediately became serious.
"If that's the case, I'll have to report him."
"Do you have any evidence? It's just because he likes to drink sake. What if it's just a hobby? Don't worry about this. If you want to associate with Feng Yan, just do so normally. Don't worry too much. Besides, you don't know anything about my work. Even if you wanted to leak information, you wouldn't have the chance."
Wen Qiao smiled at Shen Jichuan, "You have that much confidence in me?"
"Of course, you're my wife. If I don't trust you, who do I trust?"
"Tonight, we..."
