Chapter 49 Finally, I Embrace the Bright Moon
Qin Suisui was completely bewildered; it was the first time she had ever seen Pei Jiuyan so enthusiastic and unrestrained.
She finally managed to break free from his embrace, only to be pinned against the wall and given a sudden kiss on the forehead. Even a fool could sense his excitement now.
Qin Suisui leaned against the wall, looking at him with amusement: "What's wrong? What's making you so happy?"
Pei Jiuyan's eyes no longer held their usual icy chill; now they were filled with the warmth of a gentle breeze after a storm: "Thanks to you! The technical problem that has been troubling us for so long has been solved!"
Qin Suisui was truly stunned. She pointed at herself in disbelief, "Huh? Me? I didn't do anything!"
Pei Jiuyan looked at her, his eyes full of smiles: "Actually, we had already derived the data and models, but we just couldn't succeed. In the basement of the spy you caught yesterday, there happened to be a copy of our data. After checking, we found out that an 'insider' had secretly replaced the data and left behind a copy with incorrect data!"
Qin Suisui was stunned: "Huh? How could this happen? Was the real data leaked?"
Pei Jiuyan shook his head: "No, it's because you discovered it in time. They originally planned to send it out last night."
Qin Suisui was relieved. She knew that Pei Jiuyan was involved in an important military mission. If successful, it would not only greatly improve the combat capabilities of the Chinese navy, but also significantly enhance China's international standing. If bad guys managed to steal the opportunity, the losses would be enormous!
"Also, a large number of forged letters were found in that secret room." Pei Jiuyan told Qin Suisui everything he could. It turned out that those people were actually "passing on" information in Pei Jiuyan's name. This matched what Zhou Zecheng had said before, that someone wanted to "make a move" against Pei Jiuyan. But how did Zhou Zecheng know? They needed to find an opportunity to test the waters and nip any forces that were detrimental to Pei Jiuyan in the bud as soon as possible.
"By the way, have you caught the mole?" Qin Suisui thought, this mole might be the person behind Zhou Zecheng.
Pei Jiuyan nodded. This involved classified information, so he didn't want to talk about it anymore and changed the subject: "The group of people who surrounded you and Zanzan at the Xue family's gate have already been dealt with."
Qin Suisui was taken aback. There had been no news about this matter, and she thought it would just fade away. She had originally planned that if the organization didn't give her a result, she would "retaliate" in her own way. She wasn't a magnanimous person, and she wouldn't forget the losses she had suffered over time.
Seeing her expectant eyes, Pei Jiuyan paused for a moment before speaking with some helplessness: "Because there were too many people at the time, and they were all military dependents, and they later voluntarily 'surrendered', the organization considered that they had committed serious mistakes because their children were sick and they were misled by others, so they were sentenced to half a month of ideological reform in the political department, and each of them was paid three yuan for your and Zanzan's medical expenses."
This result was unexpected for Qin Suisui. She knew the saying "the law does not punish the masses." There were many people involved in the siege that day, and they were all military dependents. It was impossible to really deal with them on a large scale. Besides, she wasn't seriously injured; it was mainly Zanzan who was frightened. So she was quite satisfied with this result.
Seeing no displeasure in her eyes, Pei Jiuyan took out a thick envelope from his pocket and handed it to her: "Here, this is the medical expenses they paid."
Qin Suisui was genuinely shocked: "How can there be so many?"
Pei Jiuyan nodded: "There were 29 people present that day. Each person paid 3 yuan, which is a total of 87 yuan. Count it."
Qin Suisui put the money directly into the drawer under the dressing table, planning to put it into her spatial storage when Pei Jiuyan wasn't paying attention, since nowhere was her spatial storage safer.
Then, with a smile in her eyes, she looked at Pei Jiuyan and said, "This money is reserved specifically for buying delicious food and fun things for Zanzan!"
Pei Jiuyan frowned in disagreement: "You're partly responsible for this too."
Qin Suisui chuckled. This person was really serious. "Okay, then Zanzan and I will each have half! By the way, besides this, I also received a lot of awards today..." Qin Suisui began to excitedly tell Pei Jiuyan about the awards she received in the teacher's office, and even showed him the awards one by one, just like a primary school student who had been praised at school and was showing off to her parents at home.
Pei Jiuyan just kept smiling at her. This lively and vibrant side of her was her true self. This was the woman he was now. They had a home together. After getting their marriage certificate, Pei Jiuyan sometimes felt it was unreal. But at moments like this, he felt that he had finally embraced the bright moon he had been gazing at for so long.
Seeing her so happy, Pei Jiuyan seized the opportunity to bring more good news: "I can go with you to the Canton Fair. I'll go book the tickets tomorrow."
Qin Suisui was delighted: "Do you have a holiday?"
Pei Jiuyan nodded: "I overcame the technical difficulties last night, and with the rest of my vacation, I have half a month of vacation."
Qin Suisui nodded happily: "Then let's take Zanzan with us!"
Pei Jiuyan frowned: "It's inconvenient. Let Donglin and Alai take him."
Qin Suisui thought about it and agreed. The Canton Fair was in Guangzhou, which involved both boat and car travel, and the child was too young to handle the long journey.
Zan Zan had no idea that the word "Dad" had eliminated any possibility of him going to Guangzhou; he was fast asleep at the moment.
The next morning, after the family had breakfast, Pei Jiuyan went out to buy boat tickets. Qin Suisui dropped Zanzan off at the daycare and returned home. As she walked to the entrance of the guardhouse in the family compound, she happened to receive a phone call.
The call was from her mother-in-law. Qin Suisui answered happily, but after hearing what her mother-in-law said, her eyes welled up with tears. There was news from her parents!
My mother-in-law told me on the phone that their family situation was rather complicated, so my parents' destination in the countryside hadn't been finalized until a week ago. They were sent to Baihe Brigade, An County, Jilin Province.
Qin Suisui hung up the phone with trembling hands. When she got home, Pei Jiuyan had just returned as well.
When Pei Jiuyan saw the little girl return with red eyes, he was taken aback. Just as he was about to say something, she threw herself into his arms, crying and laughing at the same time. Her voice was filled with immense joy: "I found the address where my parents were sent down! They are in Baihe Brigade, An County, Jilin Province."
Pei Jiuyan hadn't yet recovered from the surprise of being embraced by a beautiful woman when he heard Qin Suisui's words. He couldn't help but smile. He knew that news of his parents-in-law had always been a worry for Qin Suisui, and he had been keeping an eye on things. However, Qiongtan Island was quite remote, and the investigation had been slow. Now, finally, there was news.
Upon hearing the address, he raised an eyebrow. What a coincidence!
Qin Suisui didn't notice his gaze. She peeked out from his arms, a little embarrassed, and said, "Um... have you bought your boat tickets yet? How about we skip the Canton Fair for now? I want to see my parents first."
There was no specific task involved in going to the Canton Fair. It was mainly an invitation from the organizers to Qin Suisui and her family to visit and enjoy the fair as a way of thanking her. Moreover, the Canton Fair lasted for 15 days, so she could visit her parents first and then attend the fair on her way back, thus catching the tail end of the event.
Hearing her say that, Pei Jiuyan shook his head: "I didn't manage to buy it. I received a mission as soon as I left home. Because we have overcome the technical difficulties, we need to go to the brother team in Liaoning Province to provide technical support. We will leave early tomorrow morning."
After saying that, he lowered his head and discussed with her: "This matter is very important, and I can't refuse. I know you are eager to see your parents, so you can come with me tomorrow. I will take you to Jilin Province and then go on my mission, okay?"
Qin Suisui nodded. She knew that Pei Jiuyan and his team would have a private plane for their missions, which was much faster than taking the train herself. If she could fly with him, why should she suffer through days and nights on the train?
But her parents had been sent to a cowshed, and they had publicly severed ties in the newspaper. What identity or reason could she use to visit them, and how could she avoid implicating Pei Jiuyan?
Qin Suisui thought about it all night, and the next morning she sat down at the door of Commander Jia's office.
