He turned around and saw Mu Chuan, who was sitting on the stool and looking at him seriously. His brother Chuan had not changed, and still looked as if he was freezing to death.
Youyou sighed, suppressed the last bit of struggle, sat down on the chair opposite Mu Chuan, and said very solemnly, "Brother Chuan, there is something that I shouldn't tell you now, but now that you are with Yule, it would be better for you to know some things earlier so that you can make plans."
Make plans early? Mu Chuan couldn't help but feel nervous. What's going on? Is it related to Yule? Mu Chuan's brain was working fast. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of anything that Qi Bai knew, and it might be related to Jiang Yule.
"What's the matter? Tell me now, don't keep me in suspense." Mu Chuan became more and more annoyed the more he thought about it, and he couldn't help but frown and urge
Mu Chuan urged him coldly, and Qi Bai stopped keeping the secret and put away his usual playful expression. He became very serious, with the look of an iron-blooded soldier.
"Brother Chuan, I retired this time for a mission, and I retired temporarily just to facilitate my actions."
Every time Qi Bai said something, Mu Chuan's eyebrows darkened a little, and all the things that were wrong with Qi Bai in the past were answered.
"Normally I should wait for my superior's order before telling you, but I received a message from my superior yesterday that the matter with my uncle and aunt is almost over, so I can decide the time to confess to you according to the situation."
"The mission has not made any progress yet. I was originally planning to wait until I received the latest intelligence before telling you, but now that you are with Yule, I am worried about danger and omissions, so I decided to tell you in advance."
"What is the mission? Is it related to my parents?" Mu Chuan's face was uncertain, full of worry.
"The origin of this incident still has to start with my uncle and aunt. At the beginning of last year, the organization arrested a spy in Beijing. The intelligence organization got some information from him. The spy and the contact person were in a single line of communication. We couldn't identify the target person. The three suspects we locked in at the time were all in high positions and were all members of my uncle's party. For this matter, the organization once arranged people to keep an eye on your family for nearly half a year."
Qi Bai said, carefully looking at Mu Chuan, and saw that although his face was not very good, it was still normal, so he continued
"During that time, your family was fine, but telegrams from the same source were still intercepted, so the organization shifted its attention away from your family. Later, the person who was following you was discovered by your uncle, and after secret discussions, he was dismissed. It was man-made and it was a natural thing."
"So someone is targeting my family. In order to expose the person behind the scenes, my dad cooperated with the higher-ups and pretended to be taken down in order to lure out that person?"
"That's pretty much it. Grandpa Mu came from the war years and knew the impact of war on a country. He advocated peace, but if Grandpa Mu's idea was followed to establish friendly diplomatic relations with multiple parties, it would be disadvantageous to both the pro-war faction and the party that favored a certain country. So the Mu family became the target of public criticism. During that period, Grandpa Mu and Mr. Hua met privately many times, and no one knew what they talked about. It was precisely because of this that those people became anxious."
Mu Chuan's expression darkened. His grandfather was in a high position and held power, but he was also surrounded by dangers, especially the targeted assassinations in recent years. The capital seemed calm, but secretly there were undercurrents. It was precisely because of this that few people in his army knew about his family background. However, these things were all in the capital, so even if he was to supervise him, there was no need for Qi Bai to follow him in the name of retirement.
"So what is your mission here?"
Qi Bai did not answer Mu Chuan's question, but talked about other things.
"From the beginning of last year to now, a total of three telegrams codenamed Xiao have been intercepted, namely..."
"Muhua is in frequent contact, go fast"
"The secret meeting was held in the capital hall. It was said that the meeting was related to the revolution in recent years, so not many people attended."
"The last telegram is incomplete, but it is related to the Red Flag Commune. We suspect that they have a base here and are purposefully sending spies to more important towns in the country."
"Combining these points, we have basically locked on to the target person, but there is no clue on the Red Flag Commune side. The Mu family has been proven innocent, so we will still be comrades in arms from now on."
Qi Bai's story made Mu Chuan silent. At the same time, he also understood why his father insisted that he come here, and why his mother was sad and hesitant when he left.
And Jiang Yule....
"As for Yule, I will tell her to keep our relationship secret for the time being," Mu Chuan said in a heavy tone. This mission involves spies, who are all ruthless lunatics. There are many people in grandma's family, and in order not to expose themselves, they will not easily touch the locals. Jiang Yule is different. She came to the countryside alone, so even if she disappeared accidentally, it would not cause much commotion.
If his identity is exposed one day, Jiang Yule will be the first to be targeted. He can't afford this risk.
Mu Chuan was sensible, so Qi Bai didn't say much. He told him some more details about the weapons and the mission, and then ended the conversation.
After leaving Qi Bai's room, Mu Chuan looked up at the gradually darkening sky. It was autumn, the sky was high and the clouds were light. The sky seemed to be much wider, just like his heart and his future path...
Walking cautiously all the way to the corner of Jiang Yule's house, Mu Chuan sighed helplessly at the high wall in front of him. He thought he could enter through the main gate openly, but now... he was afraid that he would have to climb over the wall until the mission was over...
After climbing over the wall and entering the house, Mu Chuan looked over and saw the three girls still chatting and laughing. He lowered his head to search for them, picked up a small stone and threw it at Jiang Yule's calf. The force was not strong, just enough for her to feel it.
