Suddenly, Xu Xinghe remembered something.
Zhang Qiang had been smoking with a pipe on the way here, and I saw him smoking outside the tent earlier, but why can't I see the pipe inside the tent now?
She immediately began searching inside the small tent and finally found the copper-tipped pipe behind a wooden box in a corner.
It's just a cigarette holder, is it really necessary to leave it like this?
Such excessive caution is clearly suspicious!
Moreover, Jiang Linchuan had previously said that any hollow place could potentially hide something.
Many spies use this method to send various kinds of information outside.
She held the pipe and tried to twist the end, but couldn't. So she simply stepped on the end of the pipe with her foot and pulled hard with both hands, and the end of the pipe fell off with a snap.
She picked it up and saw that there was indeed something hidden inside.
It uses a heat-insulating material, so even if you smoke, you don't have to worry about the contents getting blackened.
Xu Xinghe's heart raced instantly. With trembling hands, she carefully took the items out and tucked them into the corner of her clothes. Then she put the cigarette butt back in its original place and restored Zhang Qiang's clothes and cloth bag to their original state, making sure there were no signs of rummaging.
After doing all this, she carefully checked the small tent again to make sure nothing was missed, then gently lifted the curtain, quickly left along the canvas, and ran towards the outhouse.
She needed to find a safe place to hide the paper so that Zhang Qiang wouldn't find out anything.
The cheers in the stadium were still loud.
But Xu Xinghe was more nervous than ever before.
She ran quickly and finally reached the outhouse.
Just before going inside, she noticed a woman not far away who deliberately waved and asked if there was any toilet paper.
The woman, dressed in traditional attire, kindly handed her several bills.
"Thank you." Xu Xinghe then lifted the curtain and went inside.
She crouched down, took the thing out, and after peeling back the outer insulation layer, there were several sheets of paper.
After quickly reading the above, she stuffed the item into the lining of her bra.
This is the safest place, and also the least likely to lose anything.
Even if Zhang Qiang discovers something and wants to search the body, he definitely won't find this kind of place.
Moreover, she bought this vest in Shanghai, and it has a sponge inside, which is perfect for stuffing things in without being noticed.
Xu Xinghe returned to the place where the female educated youth gathered as quickly as possible.
As she approached, Zhang Qianqian looked up and saw her, and casually asked, "Sister Li Juan, where did you go just now? I was just telling Sister Xiaoyan that I didn't see you."
Xu Xinghe was already prepared, and a helpless smile appeared on her face as she patted her pocket. "Don't even mention it. I went to the outhouse, and when I got there I realized I didn't bring any toilet paper. Luckily there was a herdsman next to me, and I borrowed some from her, otherwise I would have made a fool of myself today."
After she finished speaking, she deliberately sighed, as if she had escaped unscathed.
Zhang Qianqian was amused by her and didn't ask any more questions. Her attention was quickly drawn to the cheers coming from the arena. "Look! The wrestling match has started! Brother Guowei is definitely going to go on!"
Xu Xinghe followed her gaze to the arena, where a group of men dressed in Zhuodage uniforms were taking to the field in the central circular area.
The visual impact of a huge crowd rushing in all at once is unimaginable.
The surrounding audience clapped and cheered wildly, creating an atmosphere so enthusiastic it was exhilarating.
Her gaze swept quickly across the crowd and soon found Jiang Linchuan.
He was positioned on the edge of the arena, wearing his own clothes, and unlike other wrestlers, he didn't take off his shirt, making him particularly conspicuous.
Not long after, the wrestling began.
Jiang Linchuan's first opponent was a burly grassland man who immediately adopted an aggressive stance upon entering the arena, exuding great momentum.
Jiang Linchuan remained calm, steadily avoiding the opponent's collision and deliberately restraining his strength.
He only participated in the competition to cover for Xu Xinghe in finding something; there was no need for him to really go all out, and that would also easily expose him.
The two fought for a while before Jiang Linchuan seized an opening and, with a gentle pull and a trip, threw his opponent to the ground.
The audience immediately erupted in cheers, and Zhang Qianqian clapped and shouted excitedly, "Brother Guowei is so amazing!"
Xu Xinghe felt relieved to see Jiang Linchuan win the first game so easily.
Now that she has the goods, she doesn't need to think too much and can simply enjoy the provincial capital today.
She clapped her hands, her gaze fixed on Jiang Linchuan.
Soon, the second game began.
Jiang Linchuan's second opponent was more agile than the first, and the two fought back and forth for a longer period of time.
He still didn't use his full strength, dodging the opponent's attacks time and time again, and finally found an opportunity to throw the opponent to the ground again.
"He won! Brother Guowei won again! He's so handsome!" Zhang Qianqian jumped up excitedly, her eyes full of admiration, wishing she could rush up and hand Jiang Linchuan water right away.
Xu Xinghe raised her eyebrows and eyes.
Yes, he is indeed very handsome.
After several matches, Jiang Linchuan found an opportunity and lost to a very powerful man before heading off the field.
Their eyes met briefly in the crowd.
Xu Xinghe nodded slightly in response, indicating that everything was going smoothly.
The female educated youths around them were also cheering for Jiang Linchuan. Zhao Xiaoyan grabbed her arm and exclaimed, "Li Juan, your cousin is amazing! I never expected him to be such a good wrestler!"
“He had learned some martial arts from others when he was in his hometown, and I never thought it would come in handy today.”
The cheers from the stadium continued.
Zhang Qianqian couldn't contain herself any longer.
As Jiang Linchuan's figure grew smaller and smaller, she suddenly grabbed Xu Xinghe's hand. "Sister Li Juan, Brother Guowei has already left the field to rest. He'll definitely have time! Let's go see him, and then we can watch the other matches together later."
Xu Xinghe's heart skipped a beat, and Zhang Qianqian took the initiative to suggest going over, saving her the trouble of finding an excuse.
This would allow her to get close to Jiang Linchuan in a natural way, while also using her as a cover for others.
She nodded. "Okay, I was just about to ask him if he was injured during the match. Let's go together."
Zhang Qianqian's face instantly lit up with a smile, and she quickly left, taking Xu Xinghe's hand.
The two made their way through the crowd and finally found Jiang Linchuan.
He sat in the rest area drinking water, and a few drops of sweat were faintly visible on his neck. Far from looking dirty, they added to his masculine charm.
"Brother Guowei!" Zhang Qianqian rushed forward eagerly. "We've come to see you. Even if you lost, don't be discouraged."
"No." Jiang Linchuan put down the water bottle and looked at Xu Xinghe's face. "Why did you come here? The competition isn't over yet. You can watch it over there for a while longer."
Zhang Qianqian wouldn't miss any opportunity to spend time with him, and immediately chimed in, "Brother Guowei, I came here specifically to see you. Your match just now was really amazing. If you had studied wrestling, you could definitely have won even more matches. Are you tired? I brought some milk candy, have some."
As she spoke, she took out a piece of milk candy from her pocket and handed it to Jiang Linchuan, her face full of shy anticipation.
Xu Xinghe coughed lightly, "Um... why don't you accept it, eat some to replenish your energy, and watch the game with us later, how about that?"
