Chapter 647 The Passing of Time 12
This thing came from Kinmen. Several major hotels and Western-style mansions in Beiping all used this. It is indeed quite convenient.
After Qiu Juncheng got home, he boiled water. Ning Yan took a hot shower, and when she came out of the bathroom, Qiu Juncheng had already made up the bed.
Do you want me to dry your hair?
Ning Yan shook her head. She found a pair of scissors in the room and snipped them a few times in front of the mirror. Then, her long hair was reduced to shoulder height. Long hair is really hard to manage, especially in this era when there isn't even a hairdryer. When it's cold, it takes a long time just to dry your hair.
After getting her hair cut, Ning Yan felt much better; she still looked beautiful in the mirror.
I dried my hair with a towel for a while, and it dried quickly.
In the bedroom, Qiu Juncheng's heart pounded as he thought about what was about to happen.
When Ning Yan came out of the bathroom, he said, "Get some rest, it's getting late."
Ning Yan got into bed from the other side, and Qiu Juncheng reached out and turned off the bedside lamp.
There was only one blanket on the bed.
The temperature in Beiping in April was still quite low at night, so the two naturally huddled together.
Qiu Juncheng fell in love with Ning Yan at first sight, and now that they are legally married, the wedding night is definitely something that cannot be omitted.
Moreover, Ning Yan's personality was different from that of ordinary women, and their sex life was quite harmonious, so much so that Qiu Juncheng didn't want to get out of bed the next morning.
"Don't you have to go to work? It's getting late." Her voice was a little hoarse; she hadn't slept much last night and was very sleepy.
Qiu Juncheng glanced at the watch on the bedside table; it was indeed getting late, almost seven o'clock.
He rubbed his chest against his wife's chest for a while, reluctant to leave, before finally getting up, putting on his clothes, and getting ready to go to work.
"Aunt Wang starts work at seven o'clock. Don't hesitate to tell her if you need anything."
"Mmm." Let's go quickly, she wants to go back to sleep.
Qiu Juncheng chuckled softly, leaned down and kissed her on the lips before picking up his coat and leaving.
When I got to the first floor, the maid arrived just then.
Qiu Juncheng glanced at the other person, and then instructed word by word, "Aunt Wang, Madam is resting upstairs. Our room doesn't need to be tidied up yet. Later, please make some food and send it to Madam's room. From now on, all meals should be prepared according to Madam's preferences."
Aunt Wang is only forty years old this year. Upon hearing this, she was so surprised that she stammered, "Madam? You got married after only a few days of fieldwork?"
"Yes, I just happened to meet the right one."
Aunt Wang's heart was in turmoil. Could his marriage be arranged so hastily?
"Yes, sir, I will take good care of your wife. Your family will be very happy to know that you are married."
"Yes, I will tell them."
Qiu Juncheng didn't say anything more. Aunt Wang had come over in the morning to buy breakfast, and he went to work after eating breakfast.
Aunt Wang watched his retreating figure with a face full of worry.
Having gotten used to not having to make breakfast in the morning, and with Qiu Juncheng away from home for several days, there wasn't even a single vegetable leaf left in the house.
Aunt Wang went out and bought some vegetables, then made a bowl of fragrant hand-pulled noodles and took it to the bedroom.
It's already past eight o'clock.
"Madam, dinner is ready. I'll bring it in for you."
Ning Yan responded to the sound, but showed no intention of getting up.
Aunt Wang brought the noodles into the room, saw that the person was still asleep, put the noodles on the bedside table, and then quietly went out again.
After she left, Ning Yan ate her meal in bed and then went back to sleep.
...
After arriving at work today, Qiu Juncheng went to the director's office immediately.
"Director, I've come to report to you."
"Sit down, sit down and let's talk."
After saying that, he got up and made two cups of tea, handing one to Qiu Juncheng and keeping the other for himself.
"Don't tell me, these past few days I've been away from home, every time I finish a meal I think about the director's tea. Even though it's all Longjing tea, the tea I brew myself doesn't have the same aroma as the director's."
Otherwise, I would never have let the bureau chief personally make tea for me; that would be too impolite.
Director Luo smiled and said, "We're brothers, it's just a cup of tea, why are you being so polite with me?"
Qiu Juncheng laughed and said, "I can be polite with you about other things, but I really can't be polite about this tea."
After exchanging a few pleasantries and explaining the details of their field mission, Qiu Juncheng also mentioned the upcoming marriage.
Of course, he was a little embarrassed when he talked about it. "My classmate, seeing how well I'm doing now, wants me to give him a hand."
He hinted several times but I didn't say anything, so he...
"That's partly my fault. After meeting my wife, I was indeed somewhat attracted to her, and later I simply married her."
Director Luo listened with a smile, but in his heart he was thinking. Qiu Juncheng was a very capable man, and he had always wanted to win him over. Qiu Juncheng was an orphan and had no family around him, so he thought of sending him a woman to improve their relationship. Unfortunately, he had tried to send her several times but failed.
After this happened several times, he became suspicious.
They sent people to keep an eye on Qiu Juncheng for a long time but found no clues.
Instead of being relieved, he became even more suspicious and was planning to set a trap to test him, but this time he brought a woman back, and they were officially married.
It seems we need to send someone to investigate.
"But your wedding was far too casual."
Qiu Juncheng said, "I was planning to host a dinner at the New Asia Hotel this weekend, with two tables set up for everyone."
"Okay, I'll definitely be there on time."
By the way, there's something you definitely don't know when you get back from your fieldwork.
"Please speak."
"The Japanese arrested several agents who had infiltrated our police station, and the higher-ups were very dissatisfied with us."
Your main task next is to identify the agents and spies from all sides.
"Of all the people in the police station, you're the one I trust the most, so this task is entirely yours."
Qiu Juncheng thought to himself: ...Trust me? I don't believe you for a second.
But he still promised, "Don't worry, I will immediately take people to thoroughly investigate our bureau, inside and out, and I guarantee that I will not let you down."
After the fall of Beiping, the Japanese launched a massive manhunt for agents from all sides.
The Military Intelligence Bureau would also assign its own people to various positions to conceal their true identities.
It's not unusual for someone to be captured by the Japanese, but Luo Siyuan used this incident to his advantage, assigning him to a full-time job of capturing spies. This in itself was a test, showing that there was absolutely no trust involved.
Qiu Juncheng smiled, appearing to genuinely accept the arrangement.
"Okay, then start the investigation as soon as possible."
Qiu Juncheng agreed again before leaving the director's office.
Back in his office, the two squad leaders followed him in with grins on their faces.
"Deputy Director, you're finally back. How's work going?"
"Hmm, have you two been having a particularly comfortable time while I was away?"
Li Dagang and Su Sheng felt a chill run down their spines. "No, no, we've been behaving ourselves while you're not home. Really, you can ask us if you don't believe me!"
