Chapter 385 Ambush?



Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't take it anymore, so she flashed into her space, found some fruit, and then cooked herself a bowl of noodles. Only after swallowing something did the agonizing feeling subside.

Just as they finished eating in the space and came out, Han Qiushi returned. Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask when she saw him, "How did it go? Any progress?"

Han Qiushi shook his head: "It's too late now. We won't have a result until tomorrow at the earliest." After saying that, Han Qiushi sniffed the air. "Why do I smell food?"

Lin Xiaoxiao quickly brought out a bowl of beef noodles from her spatial storage. She had cooked extra noodles, thinking she would make them for Han Qiushi as a late-night snack when he returned.

Before she could even mention it, Han Qiushi smelled the aroma and said, "Eat up, this is what I cooked in there."

Han Qiushi took the delicious-looking beef noodles and ate them in big mouthfuls: "Wife, why is this beef noodle soup different from usual? The aroma is so strong."

"You can even cook things in there! It's like having a home inside." Han Qiushi couldn't help but marvel at the power of the space every time he received something new from Lin Xiaoxiao.

"This beef noodle soup is delicious, isn't it? It's the first time I've ever had this flavor of noodles, and I'm completely captivated by its aroma. But it's only the first time. If I eat it a few more times, the taste will just be so-so." Lin Xiaoxiao didn't cook it much; she just put the seasoning from the instant noodles into it.

Then I added some beef chunks and greens. With the aroma of the seasonings, it was incredibly delicious. It was especially good for someone eating instant noodles for the first time; they probably drank every last drop of the broth.

Han Qiushi actually did just that. It was so delicious, better than any beef noodles he had ever eaten before. He wasn't satisfied after finishing the noodles, so he drank all the soup in the bowl.

After finishing his meal, Han Qiushi looked at the bowl in front of him and was about to wash it when Lin Xiaoxiao put it into her spatial storage: "No need to wash the bowl in your spatial storage. You should go brush your teeth and wash your face. It's late, you should go to sleep."

There's a dishwasher in the space, so there's no need to do these chores at all.

"Yes, ma'am." Han Qiushi saluted Lin Xiaoxiao with a happy smile, picked up his toiletries, and quickly tidied himself up.

Seeing him like this, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh and say, "What a character." Her stomach was full, and she felt sleepy, but there was always something on her mind.

She always felt that there was something she needed to do, but she couldn't remember what it was, and this feeling kept lingering in her mind.

As I pondered, I felt inexplicably relaxed when my body finally nestled in a warm embrace, and soon drifted off to sleep.

Han Qiushi returned happily after washing up. He had just eaten quite a lot of noodles and wasn't sleepy at all. He felt full of energy and was thinking about having a good post-meal workout with his wife.

When Mingming entered the room, his wife's eyes were still half-open. But as soon as they got to the bed, he hugged her and was about to start their "preparation" for sex when she fell fast asleep.

He couldn't very well wake his wife, so Han Qiushi had no choice but to move away from Lin Xiaoxiao to calm down before slowly falling asleep.

As soon as it was light, Lin Xiaoxiao woke up and found breakfast on the table next to her. Han Qiushi was slowly munching on a steamed bun while fiddling with the computer, watching the replay of his surveillance of Wanli last night.

Lin Xiaoxiao stared intently at the computer screen, then suddenly remembered, "I was going to tell you something yesterday, but I just can't remember what happened next."

"Qiushi, zoom out to three hours later. Wanli met a man. Do you recognize him?" Lin Xiaoxiao said, a little annoyed. Her body drinks spiritual spring water every day, so why is her memory so bad this time?

One second I was thinking about how to talk about this properly, and the next second I completely forgot about it.

If Han Qiu hadn't been tinkering with the computer in her room, she probably wouldn't have recovered so quickly.

Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but wonder, was it really because she was getting old? What was starting to decline?

Han Qiushi had no idea what Lin Xiaoxiao was struggling with. Following Lin Xiaoxiao's instructions, he focused on fast-forwarding the scene to three hours later. A few minutes later, the man who was meeting Wanli appeared.

"So, do you know this person?"

"This person also does things for the old man," Lin Xiaoxiao asked as she finished washing up and combed her hair.

Han Qiushi stared at the computer for several seconds, then slowly shook his head: "I don't know him."

"But...this person looks familiar, I feel like I've seen him somewhere before," Han Qiushi murmured.

"Then think it over carefully. If you can't figure it out, that's fine. We'll just keep an eye out." Recognizing one more person is to have one more clue to find the old man. Now that we have his phone number, we should be able to lock onto the target soon.

Han Qiushi stared at the face for a long time, but when he couldn't remember it, he had no choice but to give up.

After having breakfast, the two of them took a few meat buns and tofu pudding and went to deliver breakfast to Han Qiulin and Kong Xi, who were busy working in the Public Security Bureau.

While delivering breakfast, they ran into Kong Xi. Seeing that the two of them had come together, Kong Xi called them both into her office and whispered to them, "We've checked the number you brought over yesterday. This number isn't registered. It's probably a phone call made by someone in a high-ranking position using their position in disguise."

"Aside from the phone number, there is no other registration information."

In fact, Han Qiushi had expected this outcome from the beginning, but he still held onto a sliver of hope.

"Then we'll have to start from somewhere else."

Kong Hui nodded: "It's better to have this number than not. There's no information on it, but there are always traces left when the phone was installed. We can slowly check with the telecommunications bureau, and we should be able to find it soon."

"Now that Liu Hai is dead, even if they don't cause any trouble, they'll probably still have a lot to clean up afterward, so there's no rush."

Han Qiushi and Lin Xiaoxiao both nodded. After chatting with Kong Xi for a few minutes, they prepared to return to their units to go to work or training.

After arriving at the military base, Lin Xiaoxiao went straight to the newly built factory. She had only been working with her brothers for a short while when she felt hungry again.

I ate three meat buns and a bowl of tofu pudding this morning, which made me feel stuffed, but I didn't expect to be hungry again so soon.

As Lin Xiaoxiao was thinking about going to a secluded place to pick out something to eat in her spatial dimension, Ren Jianguo called her, saying he wanted to call her.

Lin Xiaoxiao went to the phone booth and answered the phone, and heard Bai Hehua's voice: "Xiaoxiao, come back with Qiushi today, don't go out alone."

"Mom, why are you suddenly saying that?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked, puzzled.

"Qiu Lin was being targeted. Wasn't he at the police station all day yesterday? He finally got to come back and rest at noon, but he was ambushed on the way."
