Chapter 63
The baby-faced boy was named Xu Hang. At this moment, he looked at the couple in front of him with complicated eyes, and his mind was still a little confused.
He didn't understand how he was in that alley before, but found himself at the target's house when he opened his eyes.
"...That's what happened. Sorry, Comrade Xu, this is a misunderstanding."
"I'm sorry, Comrade Xu. This is my fault. I hope you don't mind it."
Under the jujube tree in the yard, three people sat around a stone table. Xu Hang's mouth was slightly open, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked at Meng Wanqiu with shock and disbelief in his eyes.
After a moment, Xu Hang swallowed hard, trying to suppress his doubts. "Engineer Pei, this needs to be reported."
Pei Xingzhi's expression remained unchanged as he nodded in understanding, "Don't worry, we will cooperate."
Meng Wanqiu also nodded. The two had already anticipated Xu Hang's reaction last night.
Xu Hang left with a complicated look in his eyes. Meng Wanqiu's shoulders relaxed. Pei Xingzhi pressed her shoulders soothingly, "It's okay."
Meng Wanqiu leaned back against Pei Xingzhi, raised her hand, and clasped Pei Xingzhi's hand tightly: "Yes."
Pei Xingzhi looked at the top of Meng Wanqiu's head. From his current angle, he could see Meng Wanqiu's bulging belly, and his eyes flashed.
No matter what, he will protect them and their child.
Xu Hang left and came to a secluded building. After pushing open a door, a large living room appeared in front of him. There were several people with similar temperaments to him. Some of them were standing against the wall, some were sitting on chairs, and some were reading books in front of the bookshelf.
"You're late." A man who looked to be in his thirties sat upright on the sofa with his back straight, frowning and speaking seriously to Xu Hang.
Xu Hang felt a chill down his spine. He stood up straight, placed his hands on his temples, and said loudly, "Captain, there's a reason for this. Let me explain."
The captain kept his expression cold, glanced at Xu Hang, stood up and went into another room, "Come with me."
Xu Hang breathed a sigh of relief and followed the captain. The others winked at Xu Hang.
Xu Hang waved his fist silently and used his eyes to warn those who were watching the show.
"What happened?"
This building is one of the bases of Xu Hang and his group. Their mission this time is to protect Bai Fengyao, Pei Xingzhi and other engineers, and at the same time to catch those rapists and find out their origins and the forces behind them.
Is it other countries, or the hostile party across the strait?
"Captain, here's what happened. Yesterday afternoon, as usual, I was following Engineer Pei's family to protect them. Suddenly, they walked into an unfamiliar alley, so I followed them. Unexpectedly, right after entering the alley, I suddenly lost consciousness. When I woke up again, I was at Engineer Pei's house... It turned out to be Engineer Pei's wife. Because of the confidentiality agreement, Engineer Pei didn't tell them about our presence. They noticed me, thought I was a bad guy, and knocked me out..."
Xu Hang talked to himself, telling the captain everything about his experience before he lost consciousness yesterday and what Pei Xingzhi told him when he woke up, without adding any exaggeration.
The captain frowned, raised his hand, and Xu Hang closed his mouth.
"You're saying that Pei Gong's wife noticed your secret protection and thought you were a bad guy, so she knocked you out? That's why you're late today?"
Xu Hang nodded, that's it.
The captain sneered, "You just believed what they said, not to mention whether it's true or not? Where's your vigilance, Xu Hang? Have you forgotten all about discipline and training?"
Xu Hang's heart trembled, his palms pressed tightly against his pants, and he shouted, "Captain, I know I was wrong. I will definitely redouble my training when I return."
He snorted coldly, "Double it? That's a nice thought. Ten times it."
Xu Hang gritted his teeth and said, "Report, understood!"
"How did you get charmed? Did you have any contact with the engineer's wife during the whole process?" Leng Han asked. Before they even met, he already had no good impression of this woman.
It was almost disrespectful to call her 'the engineer's wife' instead of calling her by her name.
Xu Hang frowned, thinking back to the time before he lost consciousness. "I don't know. I had no contact with him. I had just walked into the alley, only two or three steps, when, without any warning, everything went black and I lost consciousness. When I woke up again, I was at Engineer Pei's house. He told me I had been drugged."
Leng Han couldn't help but curse, "Idiot, have you ever heard of any drug that can work so quickly without getting close to the person and in a non-enclosed space?"
Xu Hang shrank his neck and said hesitantly, "But that's what they said." Moreover, he felt that the other party should not have any bad intentions, otherwise why would they keep him back.
After protecting Meng Wanqiu for so long, Xu Hang could more or less feel her character. Although she looked cold on the outside, she was actually very kind. She always carried candies with her and would give them to children she met in the alley.
Leng Han sensed the protectiveness in Xu Hang's words, closed his eyes, and his tone instantly turned as cold as ice, "Xu Hang, you are a soldier."
These simple words are full of warnings.
Xu Hang's heart stopped for a moment, and he suddenly woke up. How could he say such a thing?
Looking at Xu Hang's reaction, Leng Han's vigilance towards Meng Wanqiu reached its highest point.
"I'm sorry, Captain, I was just lost in thought."
"Alright, get out!" Leng Han waved his hand impatiently. After Xu Hang turned around, he said, "Wait, continue."
Xu Hang took it and saw that it was two big buns wrapped in oil paper, still emitting residual heat.
"Thank you, Captain!" Xu Hang saluted Leng Han again.
Leng Han ignored him, and Xu Hang didn't care either. He just opened the door and left. Their captain was just like that, cold-faced but soft-hearted. They were used to it.
After Xu Hangren left, Leng Han's face darkened and he made a phone call. "Please help me investigate this person, the wife of Engineer Pei Xingzhi. Um, send me her file as soon as possible. I need it now."
Not long after, a file document was delivered to Leng Han's desk. After Leng Han opened it, he just glanced at it and memorized all the contents.
Name: Meng Wanqiu
Gender: Female
Date of Birth: September 28, 1952
Birthplace: Qinghe Production Team, Hongshan Commune, Gucheng County, ×× City, G Province
Her husband Pei Xingzhi is currently an engineer at the 715th Army, her father Meng Aiguo is a retired soldier, and her second brother Meng Mingxia is an active-duty soldier.
Seeing this, Leng Han raised his eyebrows and said, "We're in the same field. This is interesting."
The bony fingers were neatly trimmed and tapped the table top one by one. Where the fingertips landed, the three words "Meng Wanqiu" were clearly written.
Leng Han's narrow eyes were half closed as he looked at the files on the table. "No matter whether you are a human or a ghost, I will investigate you thoroughly."
It would be best if what Xu Hang said was true and you had no bad intentions, otherwise...
That afternoon, Leng Han brought two people to knock on the doors of Meng Wanqiu and Pei Xingzhi's homes.
Because this matter needed to be resolved, Meng Wanqiu and Pei Xingzhi took leave in advance. They both stayed at home, waiting for someone to come.
Pei Xingzhi and Meng Wanqiu exchanged a glance, then he held Meng Wanqiu's hand tightly and said, "Don't worry, I'll go open the door."
Meng Wanqiu nodded. In fact, she was not that worried and just blamed everything on the old Taoist priest.
This is groundless, and she doesn't believe the other party can do anything.
She has never done anything bad in her life, but has done a lot of good things.
In Gucheng County, he helped Director Zhang and his team capture two bad guys who trafficked women and rescued Jiang Xiuxiu.
On the first day in Province Y, she saved Tongtong, the little boy she met on the train.
The only questionable things about her are the abilities, skills, and medicine she learned in her previous life.
Many people in Qinghe Village knew that she was born with great strength, so there was no problem in pulling the baby-faced girl back.
As for the medicine, that’s the old Taoist priest’s fault.
Pei Xingzhi opened the door and saw Leng Han and others. He smiled and said, "Captain Leng, we meet again."
Leng Han's attitude did not change at all despite Pei Xingzhi's smile. He continued to look stern. "Engineer Pei, there's no need for polite words. I think you already know why we're here, so I won't waste any more words. Please ask your wife, Comrade Meng Wanqiu, to come with us. We need her cooperation on some matters."
Pei Xingzhi's smile didn't fade even with the cold indifference. He continued to maintain his usual gentle attitude. "Don't worry, we promise to cooperate. However, my wife is pregnant now and has difficulty moving around. Can I come with you? I promise not to disturb your work."
Pregnant?
Leng Han didn't know Meng Wanqiu's physical condition. Before, he only knew that Meng Wanqiu was Pei Xingzhi's wife, and he didn't know anything else.
Now listening to Pei Xingzhi's words, his first reaction was to wonder if this was an excuse Pei Xingzhi came up with. Just as he was about to refuse, Meng Wanqiu appeared behind Pei Xingzhi.
The moment he saw Meng Wanqiu, Leng Han was stunned for a moment, then recovered instantly. No one noticed except himself.
The first time Meng Wanqiu saw Leng Han, she didn't like him. His unfriendly gaze swept over her and lingered on her stomach for a few seconds.
Because she felt resistance towards this person, Meng Wanqiu subconsciously turned her body to the side and put her hands in front of her stomach, as if she wanted to protect it.
Leng Han's eyes flickered, and he looked away from Meng Wanqiu and looked at Pei Xingzhi, "Okay."
Pei Xingzhi smiled and thanked, "Thank you, Captain Leng. Sorry for the trouble."
After a quick packing, Meng Wanqiu and Pei Xingzhi followed Leng Han out of Xinghua Alley. They thought they would walk there, but unexpectedly, Leng Han and his men drove a jeep.
Pei Xingzhi's eyes flashed. It seemed that the place they were going was a bit far away. Could they be going there?
Meng Wanqiu didn't care. She hadn't spoken since she met Leng Han and the others. It might be because of the so-called aura conflict. She didn't even look at Leng Han.
Ignore the other person completely.
One person was driving, Leng Han was sitting in the passenger seat, and Meng Wanqiu, Pei Xingzhi and another person were in the back seat.
