"So, wife, can I have a request?" Qin Xiao felt that if he didn't make a request now, when would he make one?
Ji Xia stared at Qin Xiao with a pair of wet eyes. She opened her red lips slightly and said without any hesitation, "You say!"
Qin Xiao was extremely happy. His wife wasn't afraid that he would trick her into selling her out. This showed how much trust she had in him. "If one day, the army tells you that I've sacrificed my life, can you wait for me for another three years? Just three years will be enough..."
Ji Xia wanted to kill him at this moment. His eyebrows raised and he said angrily, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Qin Xiao's eyes were filled with sadness. His wife was unwilling to wait for him for three years, but he was not disappointed because he could not guarantee whether he would really be sacrificed or go on a top-secret mission by then. He smiled and said, "Wife, I'm just talking nonsense. Just pretend I didn't say anything."
Ji Xia turned her head away and looked at the snow-white wall on the other side. "I know what you mean. The nature of your work is very special. Sometimes you may be sent to do some top-secret missions, and it will be announced to the outside world that you have sacrificed your life.
Brother Xiao, if you are going on a mission, as long as you can come back alive, I will wait for you no matter if it takes ten or twenty years, provided that you can come back alive. As long as you are still alive, that is enough for me."
Qin Xiao ignored the wound on his abdomen and pulled Ji Xia into his arms. "Xia Xia, I think I must have saved the earth in my previous life, so I can have you in this life!"
Ji Jianguo and Xie Sufen brought over dinner, which included white rice, stir-fried cabbage with meat, and a dish of braised pork with potatoes. Ji Xia ate more than half of it and didn't finish it.
Seeing that Qin Xiao woke up and was in good condition, Ji Jianguo and Xie Sufen were relieved.
"Mom will bring you food tomorrow." Xie Sufen is quite ambitious, but now that her son-in-law is in trouble, she switched shifts with someone else and no longer works the night shift.
Such a big incident happened at Factory 21, and all outsiders in the entire Bing County were checked. Excluding Qi Ruizhi and Yao Wenguang, a total of twelve suspicious elements were found.
The police in Bing County were extremely busy as they expanded their search following these twelve suspicious individuals. It happened to be the Chinese New Year, and Guo Zhiqiang was in great pain.
The next morning, he came to find Qin Xiao and was surprised to see Ji Xia holding a small bowl and feeding Qin Xiao sugar water.
He never thought that this woman would one day become a good wife and mother.
The spiritual spring water in Ji Xia's space has the effect of strengthening the body. She has been drinking spiritual spring water recently and also uses it at home.
Since Qin Xiao woke up, he drank spiritual spring water, and his wounds healed very well.
Ji Xia knew they wanted to talk, so he got up to buy breakfast and made room for them.
After the door closed, Guo Zhiqiang said dissatisfiedly, "Now that you're well, you've become a patient and don't have to worry about anything. We're still busy running around, and it's almost Chinese New Year. And don't even mention it, this county town really doesn't have a Chinese New Year atmosphere at all."
After Qin Xiao's surgery, he couldn't eat for 24 hours. He had been hungry for almost 36 hours and was now exhausted. "What are you doing here? If you have something to say, just say it!"
His wife will be back soon.
"Yao Wenguang and Qi Ruizhi refused to confess after they went in," Guo Zhiqiang said helplessly. "They said they'd wait for you to interrogate them, saying you'd definitely have a solution. How can you interrogate them in this state? Honestly, Old Qin, I can't believe you could be so seriously injured from such a simple mission. How did you manage to survive?"
Qin Xiao stared at the ceiling and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Guo Zhiqiang shook his head and said, "Sure enough, getting married will affect the speed of drawing the sword!"
Qin Xiao said impatiently, "Do you have anything serious to say? If not, get out!"
Guo Zhiqiang clicked his tongue twice. "Li Gaofei said he didn't know how the handkerchief ended up in his pocket, but he overheard a conversation between Yao Wenguang and Qi Ruizhi. They were standing next to a piece of equipment and talking. He was behind a packing box at the time, so they didn't notice him."
"What did you say?" Qin Xiao asked.
"The two conspired to sabotage the production line and delay delivery. According to Li Gaofei, Yao Wenguang said that the higher-ups were currently focusing on two deliveries: one for CNC machine tools, due to be delivered at the beginning of next year, and the other for sedans.
I don't know where Yao Wenguang got the news, but he said that all the factories in Bing County were ultimately responsible for delivering cars, and even a single screw could affect the final delivery, so they decided to just take a single screw.
Ji Xia came in carrying millet porridge. She was also involved. Guo Zhiqiang asked, "Sister-in-law, you were also at the scene. Did you see anything unusual about that man called Li Gaofei?"
Ji Xia placed the millet porridge on the table. "I saw him several times and he was terrified. I doubted him at the time, but then I thought, with his mental state, no one with any sense would send him on this mission. So, did he confess?"
Guo Zhiqiang repeated what he had just said, "Sister-in-law, in your opinion, are these people coming for you?"
Ji Xia pondered for a moment, tapping his fingers on the table out of habit. "For now, it shouldn't be foreign forces. They've placed orders abroad and are waiting for delivery. They need our products. First, they can intuitively understand our current industrial level. Second, if our products are advanced, they can drive their own industrial development."
Qin Xiao quickly flattered her, "My wife is right. This is the work of some people in China!"
Ji Xia glanced at Qin Xiao and said, "You should have a good rest!"
Qin Xiao quickly closed his mouth tighter than a clam shell, attracting a wave of contempt from Guo Zhiqiang.
