Mrs. Xiao smiled broadly, "We've set the date, and I've almost finished making preparations. Now we're just waiting for Ya Jing to marry into our family!"
Bai Yajing smiled and echoed her words.
Today, several elders have set the wedding date for them: May 10th.
It was the closest auspicious day for marriage that they had calculated.
After seeing the Xiao family off, Bai Yajing went out.
People keep giving her big gifts, wouldn't it be impolite if she didn't reciprocate?
I just asked Xiao Che for Dong Baozhu's address and also learned that Dong Guangming isn't home often.
After leaving the family compound, she found a small, dilapidated courtyard that was uninhabited and changed her clothes.
When he came out, he was an old man with a sallow and emaciated face.
An ordinary person who would be hard to spot in a crowd.
I strolled along until I reached the entrance of the Dong family's house.
Not knowing if Dong Baozhu had returned, he found a secluded spot to keep watch.
If you don't look closely, you won't even see that there's a person squatting there.
She had plenty of patience to figure out where the other person was.
The other party's identity was unusual, and she couldn't let a second person know, so she planned to come in person.
As evening approached, a military vehicle pulled up at the main gate.
A tall, refined man, probably in his fifties or sixties, came down from upstairs, followed by Dong Baozhu.
Bai Yajing guessed that the other party must be Dong Guangming.
She looked him over carefully; he did appear to be a decent-looking person.
Hmm? He had a burn scar on the right side of his forehead, down to the corner of his eye. Then she remembered that the enemy agent leader also had a crescent-shaped scar at the corner of his eye. She was a little suspicious. What a coincidence?
Are there really so many coincidences in this world? He's a high-ranking official in the Northwest Military Region, and he just happened to be transferred back to Kyoto this time. He also just happened to have a scar in a similar location to that of the enemy's intelligence chief. No, she never believed it! Too many coincidences wouldn't be coincidences anymore!
This person has a serious problem!
No wonder Xiao Che suspected him; he probably had doubts for a long time but just couldn't find any evidence!
This old fox is really troublesome! Given his current position, without solid evidence, there's no way to take him down!
Watching the father and daughter enter, Bai Yajing left unwillingly.
With Dong Guangming around, she'll be discovered if she makes a move tonight. It would be counterproductive to alert him and not achieve her goal.
However, tonight we do have a suspect.
When she returned to the family compound, Xiao Che was waiting for her.
"How was it? Did you get your revenge?"
When Bai Yajing asked him about the Dong family's address and Dong Guangming in the afternoon, he guessed that she would go to Dong Baozhu to vent her anger.
Bai Yajing shrugged. "Unfortunately, she came back with her dad! By the way, her dad has a burn scar on the right side of his forehead, from the corner of his eye. Was it there before, or did it appear in the last year or two?"
Xiao Che knew she would ask questions when she heard that she had seen Dong Guangming.
"It was an accidental injury during training two years ago. Although the timing doesn't quite match when we learned about it from the director."
However, it's also possible that he had already realized the director had discovered this feature of his, so he deliberately destroyed it.
After all, too many coincidences cease to be coincidences. Furthermore, would he really allow his daughter to steal someone else's husband this time...?
I have a guess that he probably knows there are too many coincidences. I will be suspicious and investigate. Even if I can't find out in a short time, what about in the long run?
I'll inevitably find out and deal with him, so what do you think he'll do?
