Qiu Jingwen didn't know how to explain it to his wife.
He thought for a moment and said:
"Yuping, please rest well and don't worry, okay? I'm begging you!"
"How can I not worry? Three thousand yuan is almost all our savings since we got married. Why can't you tell me?"
"Yuping, you're still injured. I'll tell you after your head injury heals."
"Qiu Jingwen, we've been married for over twenty years, how can you not trust me at all?"
“Yuping, it’s not a matter of trust. I’m afraid you can’t handle it. Okay, I’m just going out for a walk. I’ll be back in a bit. You should get some rest and get some sleep.”
"Fine, if you don't want to tell me, then go ahead. I'm fine, I won't die."
As Jiang Yuping spoke, she pretended to be angry and turned her body directly onto the bed.
Seeing his wife's resentment, Qiu Jingwen leaned down and gently kissed her cheek, whispering in her ear:
"Okay, Yuping, don't be angry. I have my reasons. You'll understand later."
Jiang Yuping's face was turned towards the inside of the bed, but her voice somehow managed to get into Qiu Jingwen's ears.
"When will you be back?"
"It shouldn't be long."
"Won't there be any danger?"
"How could that be? I'm not going to fight anyone."
"Then go early and come back early."
"Um".
Qiu Jingwen agreed and walked out of the bedroom.
The children were all in their bedrooms when Qiu Jingwen cautiously left the house.
He carried the yellow backpack he had used many years ago, with three thousand dollars inside, along with sunglasses and a folded old straw hat.
After getting on his bicycle and leaving the dormitory area, Qiu Jingwen did not head towards Orange Valley, but instead rode towards the nearby countryside.
After passing a village, Qiu Jingwen pushed his bicycle into the forest.
Having received training, Qiu Jingwen looked around and, seeing that no one was around, took out his straw hat and sunglasses from his bag and put them on.
When meeting Liu Han, he also had to disguise himself. It wasn't to launch a surprise attack, but because he didn't want to leave any traces that would be discovered by acquaintances. Qiu Jingwen's chosen route was already far away from the factory area roads.
After entering the redwood forest, he observed the area for a while, and then walked towards the stream that Liu Han had mentioned.
As Qiu Jingwen pushed his bicycle, he kept wondering why Liu Han had asked him to come here that evening.
Isn't he afraid that Qiu Jingwen will kill him? Or is the other party certain that Qiu Jingwen won't kill anyone?
In addition, Liu Han kept emphasizing in the afternoon phone call that he needed money urgently. What's going on?
After all, three thousand yuan is a considerable sum. Where did he actually spend the three thousand yuan he extorted?
The night grew deeper.
The sounds of birds chirping and insects buzzing could be heard from the woods from time to time.
These sounds, accompanied by the whistling wind, create a sense of mystery and tension.
In fact, when he saw Liu Han reappear in the infirmary that afternoon, the urge to kill really rose in his heart again.
At this moment, the familiar stream is right in front of me, its bright white water making a sound, growing clearer and clearer.
When Qiu Jingwen saw a figure standing in the distance, he knew that it must be Liu Han.
Liu Han had Qiu Jingwen firmly under his control, certain that Qiu Jingwen would come to meet him that night.
At the same time, when Liu Yihan saw the person who came, he was certain in his heart that it must be Qiu Jingwen.
The two stood there for a while, then moved closer and closer to each other in their respective directions.
To Liu Han's horror, Qiu Jingwen walked up to him, and without saying a word, took a step forward and reached out to grab his neck.
Liu Han was, after all, a veteran special agent. He had agreed to meet Qiu Jingwen in the woods that night, and he had considered that Qiu Jingwen might try to eliminate him. But he never expected that Qiu Jingwen would try to kill him right away!
Having anticipated this, Liu Han dodged Qiu Jingwen's large hands with a quick movement.
"You're insane! You want to kill me? Don't you understand? Would I have a backup plan?"
After dodging, Liu Han shouted loudly at Qiu Jingwen.
"Liu Han, do you believe I'll tear you to pieces right here?"
"Didn't we agree that you'd pay three thousand yuan? Why are you suddenly trying to kill me?"
"Liu Han, did you sabotage my wife's bicycle brakes?"
"Qiu Jingwen, is that why you're doing this? Even if I were struck by lightning, I wouldn't be that stupid. If you hadn't brought three thousand yuan by today, it would have been reasonable for me to do something to your wife and children. With your intelligence, don't you think so?"
"Then it seems like someone tampered with my wife's car brakes. Who else could it be but you?"
"After all, it seems like it is. Why does it have to be me? Maybe your wife offended someone. Anyway, this has nothing to do with me, Liu Han. I swear to God, I'm really not that stupid. Your IQ shouldn't be that low."
Qiu Jingwen's anger seemed to have subsided.
In fact, his actions just now were also a deliberate test of Liu Han.
Around noon, he checked his wife's Phoenix bicycle. The brakes didn't seem to have been tampered with. However, when Qiu Jingwen learned that his wife had fallen off her bicycle, his first thought was that Liu Han was behind it.
After Liu Han explained and swore an oath, Qiu Jingwen raised his hand and grabbed Liu Han's collar.
“Liu Han, I’m warning you, we men handle our own affairs. If I find out that you’re threatening my wife and children again, I will not hesitate to tear you to pieces.”
"Heh, the wolfish nature of that little wolf cub from back then has resurfaced. I like it. But have you ever thought about it? I'm about to be buried in the ground. If you kill me, is it worth it for you?"
