In the small courtyard where Mr. Qiao Sanye lived, He Xiangdong knocked on the door and came in.
Although it was already early in the morning, Mr. Qiao San had obviously not slept all night. When he saw He Xiangdong coming, he quickly took him to the kitchen, lit an oil lamp, and asked anxiously, "How is it?"
He Xiangdong took out the money, fried chicken, and meat buns from his pocket and held them in front of Mr. Qiao Sanye. "I didn't do anything all night, and I just sailed the boat over there. You gave me so much!"
Mr. Qiao smoked his pipe and said, "Tell me the details!"
He Xiangdong recounted every detail, including his own emotional journey. "At first, we all thought the two warships were coming to arrest us. Even though they were empty, we were still worried something might happen. But later we realized it wasn't the case."
"You said that the four ships suddenly exploded. How did they explode?" asked Mr. Qiao San.
He Xiangdong shook his head. "I don't know. It was very sudden, and they all exploded at the same time. Third Master, Sister Xia is not an ordinary person. There's something strange about her ship. It doesn't feel like it's made of steel, nor does it feel like it's made of wood. I don't know what it is."
"Do you suspect that Sister Xia's ship was responsible?" Mr. Qiao asked in horror. Seeing He Xiangdong about to nod "yes", he quickly covered his mouth and said, "Don't say anything. Just pretend you know nothing."
Oh my God, Sister Xia actually let them participate in the military operation. Is she afraid that they are living too comfortably?
Does Sister Xia know who they are? She actually brought them to deal with the military.
"Idiots, you actually took two hundred each. Do you really think you have lived too long?" Mr. Qiao San was in tears. He regretted again that he should not have been greedy for money and provoked the devil Ji Xia!
He Xiangdong finally understood what was happening. It was so cold that he broke out in a sweat. "What should I do?"
"How should I know about this? You ask me, but who should I ask?" Mr. Qiao shook his head. "Well, go find Dadong tomorrow and have a good talk with him. Let him give you some advice."
He Xiangdong hesitated for a long time, "Third Master, in my opinion, Chen Dadong doesn't have that much face in front of Sister Xia."
"Idiot, no matter what, she's Sister Xia's. You'd better give up on this idea. Sister Xia said you were hers that day, so go and have other thoughts. Don't get me into trouble. Also, you didn't tell me about what happened tonight, so I don't know. Don't mention it to anyone else."
"Thank you for the reminder, Third Master. I will also talk to my brothers and ask them to sew their mouths tightly and not tell anyone!"
No one dared to say anything. No one was a fool. A man who hung out at the night market and was always ready to eat lotus seeds was brought to the military and showed his face. Everyone was very excited at first, but when they got ashore and were hit by the cold wind, everyone calmed down, broke out in cold sweats, and could not even walk steadily.
Those who dare to work in the black market are not incompetent, and those who can be selected by Mr. Qiao Sanye are not fools.
Ji Xia had anticipated this a long time ago and was not afraid of these people talking nonsense outside.
Ji Xia waited at the West Pier for a while. The Chinese warship came over and took a gangplank from the warship and connected it to the frigate. Qin Xiao came over and saw Ji Xia standing on the deck.
"Did you do this on purpose?" Qin Xiao said, suppressing his anger.
Ji Xia could sense that he was angry, but she didn't know why. She asked, "What on purpose?"
"You use yourself as bait to lure those people?" Qin Xiao originally thought that she was planning to use those goods to lure the other party. When he saw the frigate, Qin Xiao knew her plan. At that moment, he really didn't know how to describe his feelings.
"Well, this way we can catch them all in one fell swoop. I don't have that much time to play hide-and-seek with so many people." Ji Xia said disapprovingly. Besides, the enemy is in the dark, and she is in the light, which would be very dangerous.
It's not that she is not used to hiding, but she is unwilling to hide for a long time. Therefore, she does not want to let the military take her under its wing. Independence has become a brilliance in her bones.
She has long been accustomed to fighting alone and completing tasks alone.
"Xia Xia, can I make a request?" Qin Xiao sighed and said, "From now on, can you tell me your plans in advance?"
"No!" Ji Xia said, "You are not just my husband. Don't forget, you are first and foremost a soldier. As a soldier, the safety of the country comes first."
Qin Xiao had no rebuttal, but he said, "But, in my heart, your safety is also very important!"
"Qin Xiao, don't forget your mission!" Ji Xia placed her hand on his shoulder, her epaulettes beneath her palm. "Although I'm glad you place me in such an important position in your life, I hope you won't bet on epaulettes again. Also, no one is more important than the country."
"I've never forgotten my mission, but in today's incident, your safety doesn't conflict with national security," Qin Xiao said. "Xia Xia, seeing you in danger, I'm very worried!"
After he finished speaking, he gently held Ji Xia in his arms. The wind on the sea was very cold, and Ji Xia was not wearing much. Qin Xiao felt the chill on her body, so he took off his general's coat and put it on her.
"I hope that one day you'll be willing to tell me your plans, and that you'll be willing to entrust your safety to me, just like every ordinary citizen, with full trust in us. I also hope that I'm someone you can trust!"
Under the light, Qin Xiao was tall, and his shadow completely enveloped Ji Xia. She seemed to be under his protection, and his deep eyes stared at Ji Xia closely.
Ji Xia lowered her eyes for a long moment, then raised her head, met his eyes, and sighed deeply, "Brother Xiao, I'm very measured in what I do. If there's any danger, I'll definitely tell you in advance. I told you, no one can hurt me except... you. This is near China's territorial waters, and I know you'll definitely pull me out if there's any movement. Besides, I told you in advance."
"You asked me to come here to receive the goods." Qin Xiao reminded.
"This corvette has eight ship-to-ship missiles. It can also use its sonar system to place time bombs near targets. This time, I used time bombs to destroy all four ships."
Ji Xia said, "Brother Xiao, let me ask you, how much offensive power do our warships have right now? None, right? So, even if I tell you, what will happen? I can predict it myself, and I won't do anything dangerous."
She fears death more than anyone else.
But Qin Xiao just wanted to be with her. When she was in danger, he could be by her side. He would be willing to exchange his life for hers.
"I will worry about you, I will be uneasy, I will be afraid, I will be anxious, Xia Xia, can you understand?" Qin Xiao hooked a strand of her hair that was messed up by the wind with his fingers, feeling helpless and helpless.
