The old lady endured the severe pain in her abdomen, stood up from the chair with difficulty, and walked out of the yard in a staggering and hurried manner.
In the old family compound built in the 1970s, there were no private toilets in the yard. When people lived there wanted to relieve themselves, they had to use the public toilets.
After Qin Wan watched the old lady's figure gradually disappear from his sight, he slowly turned his head and cast his gaze at Ge Xiuxiu beside him.
She lowered her voice and whispered to Ge Xiuxiu:
"Look, it seems to me that all the hard work and effort we put into this has finally not been wasted."
When saying this, Qin Wan's eyes revealed a barely perceptible hint of joy.
After saying that, she stood up, asked Ge Xiuxiu to help send the child back, and she hurried out of the yard.
Qin Wan knew that the old lady had an extremely sensitive hearing, so he didn't dare to follow her closely like he did with the others. He had no choice but to release his mental power and follow from a distance.
As a person with superpowers, Qin Wan could still clearly sense the old lady's every move even from a distance.
The old lady was obviously extremely cautious.
When she stepped out of Captain Wang's house, her footsteps hurried out like the wind.
But while walking, she would suddenly turn her head from time to time, her eyes as sharp as a hawk, quickly scanning the crowd around her.
Not only that, her eyes are always paying attention to the movements of the people around her, as if any slight movement cannot escape her eyes.
Fortunately, although the old lady was so alert, she still failed to notice Qin Wan who was secretly following her.
She hurried all the way through the large family compound and arrived at the foot of the towering mountain behind the military base.
After stopping, she looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that there was no one else around, she hurried up the mountain.
Qin Wan had been hiding in the dark, keeping a close eye on the old lady's whereabouts.
Soon, she saw the old lady stopped by a dense grove halfway up the mountain. The old lady looked very anxious.
The old woman first looked around and after confirming that there was still no one around, she unexpectedly imitated a cat's meow. The sound was crisp and short, echoing in the silent mountain forest.
Not long after, a cat's meow in response was heard from the depths of the grove.
Hearing this response, the old lady's face showed a subtle joy, and then she walked towards the depths of the woods without hesitation...
Qin Wan carefully released his spiritual sense and followed the two figures closely.
When the two met, there was not much verbal communication. They just exchanged glances quickly and briefly, and handed the items in their hands to each other at the same time.
Seeing this scene, Qin Wan was suddenly shocked, and a strong intuition came to his mind - the person in front of him was most likely the "contact person" they had been looking for for a long time!
Just when Qin Wan was concentrating and wanted to observe more carefully, the old lady suddenly seemed to have noticed something. She turned around very alertly and glanced behind her.
In an instant, Qin Wan felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat. She knew very well that she must not reveal any flaws at this moment, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
So, she made a prompt decision and quickly held her breath. She froze in place like a sculpture, not daring to move at all. She even tried her best to suppress the slightest breathing sound, for fear that it would expose her whereabouts.
Fortunately, the old lady didn't notice anything unusual.
After a brief pause, she turned around and continued to talk in a low voice with the contact person.
Although the voices of their conversation were extremely low, almost inaudible, this did not bother Qin Wan, who had extraordinary hearing sensitivity.
Although Qin Wan was a little far away, she could still vaguely hear the conversation between the man and the old lady thanks to her extraordinary hearing.
All I heard was the man saying in a low voice: "Old You is gone..."
The old lady was shocked when she heard this and asked quickly, "How come it's gone?"
The man frowned and replied in a low voice, "Someone reported his son for corruption, bribery, and abuse of power, and as a result, his entire family was arrested. But I think this matter may not be as simple as it seems, so I came to consult with you to see what we should do."
The old lady was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Since you already sense that there's something fishy going on here, then we must be decisive and sacrifice the car to save the king! It's better to give Old You a quick death than let him fall into the hands of those people and suffer torture, a life worse than death."
The man nodded, indicating that he understood what the old lady meant.
Afterwards, the two ended their conversation and went their separate ways.
Qin Wan, who had been quietly observing all this from a distance, began to ponder as she saw the old lady turn and walk back the way she had come. She realized that judging by the current situation, the old lady wouldn't be making any unusual moves today. After all, if she really wanted to take action, she would most likely be heading somewhere else, not back home.
Qin Wan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at this thought. She had originally worried that she'd be discovered by following too closely, but now it seemed her worries were unnecessary. After all, with the distance between her and the old lady being so great, even without using her mental tracking, it would be difficult for her to detect her presence.
After confirming that the old lady wouldn't cause any more trouble today, Qin Wan decided not to waste time following her and instead took this opportunity to leave. So, she carefully avoided any routes that might reveal her whereabouts and quickly disappeared into the vast crowd.
When Qin Wan returned home, Aunt Zhang was already making lunch, and Aunt Yu was playing with the children.
At this time, the four treasures were already able to sit. When they saw Qin Wan coming back, they all looked at her with some grievance, as if asking:
"Where did you go just now? Why did you leave us aside?"
