That night.
In the valley behind the mountain, Xiao Che heard the familiar call of "Cuckoo, cuckoo."
He emerged from the cave with delight.
"Oh~ Oh~"
Soon, a rustling sound could be heard.
The grandmother and grandson both had tears in their eyes when they met.
Where are you hurt? What happened?
Xiao Che helped the person into the cave before speaking again, recounting in detail everything from setting off on the mission to the false information, the murder and escape, the robbery on the way, and finally finding Bai Yajing's house.
She even mentioned that Bai Yajing had given herself medicine in the car that day.
After hearing this, Commander Xiao fell into deep thought.
"Although not many people know about your mission, investigating it might alert the enemy. We'd better think of a way..."
"Lure the snake out of its hole!" Xiao Che had already come up with a plan.
Commander Xiao nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.
"Okay, then you'll have to put up with this for a while..."
As they were talking, they saw his clothes and empty neck by the firelight.
He was shocked. "Where's your jade pendant? Lost it? That was a family heirloom your grandmother left to your granddaughter-in-law!"
When Xiao Che heard him ask about the jade pendant, he awkwardly covered his neck.
Uncle Bai was a bit shorter than him, so he couldn't button up his clothes, which is how Commander Xiao saw him.
All he owns now is that piece of jade. People have saved him time and time again, and he always feels it would be ungrateful of them to just leave like that.
Furthermore, he himself inexplicably left the jade pendant behind...
If it were anyone else, he would simply send a generous gift later, but for some reason, he didn't want that girl to think he was ungrateful...
"I...I'm leaving this to Comrade Bai. She saved me three times, and I have no way to repay her. All I have is this jade pendant..."
Who is Commander Xiao? A cunning old fox.
Seeing his grandson like this, he couldn't help but smile.
"Oh~ I have no way to repay you~ Hehehe, good, good, good, you've finally figured it out! My old iron tree is about to blossom and bear fruit?"
"Hmm, not bad, not bad! First come, first served! If you like something, just book it! That's the spirit of my old days! Hahahaha!"
If this kid really just wanted to express his gratitude, he would have given her a gift afterward. He would never have given away the family heirloom left by his wife. Since he gave it away, it means he has his eye on her!
He was quite satisfied with Bai Yajing; she was quick-witted and had a generous personality.
Xiao Che covered his face, feeling a rare blush creep up his cheeks, but he didn't refute the old man.
"Grandpa, it's getting late, you should go back now. I know what to do here. If anything unexpected happens, just come find me."
Commander Xiao looked around. He and his grandson hadn't been here in a long time; many things were missing. He also noticed his grandson's ill-fitting clothes...
"I came in a hurry today. I'll bring over the things you're missing tomorrow night. I happen to have some wound medicine at home."
Xiao Che didn't mind, but after looking at his clothes, he nodded.
These are Uncle Bai's clothes. He can't afford to damage them, so he plans to wash them and return them once his own clothes are delivered.
Commander Xiao nimbly returned the way he came, as he was very familiar with the security team.
...
Early in the morning, when Bai Yajing got up, she smelled the stench of blood in the courtyard.
"No way? Not again?"
She wouldn't stand by and watch someone die, but she's not a saint either!
Reluctantly opening the door to the hall, I saw wild rabbits and pheasants on the ground...
