Ling Ju blinked. "I originally thought Xu Yingwen would get into trouble first, but I didn't expect it to be his elder brother."
Song Qi snorted coldly, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. It's good enough that Xu Zhengwen falls into my hands. If this grandson falls into Yan Jintang's hands, hmph, lingchi three thousand cuts is just one of Yan Jintang's methods."
Ling Ju opened her eyes wide, "Yan Jintang is really that cruel. Although I can usually feel that he has something, he doesn't show it much."
Song Qi rubbed her little face and said, "Little fool, what if Yan Jintang shows that side of him in front of you and scares you and the child? Besides, you are his adopted sister now, so he naturally has to take care of you. How could he behave recklessly? If he says something reckless and scares you, I won't let him off."
"Moreover, many of Yan Jintang's methods are shady. If I tell you about them, you'll have nightmares at night."
Ling Ju raised her eyebrows. For the sake of her child and her physical and mental health, she decided not to ask.
After all, she is not very courageous.
"But Song Qi, I saw that you looked very worried just now. It's not just because of Xu Zhengwen's reselling of the national treasury, is it? Do you have something else on your mind?"
Song Qi looked into her bright and curious eyes and gently kissed her soft lips. Hmm, it tasted good.
"There are some other things, but they are not very important."
"Are you sure?"
Song Qi nodded.
Ling Ju held his face in her hands and stared at him seriously, "Song Qi, didn't we agree that if there's something going on, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush. There can't be any misunderstandings or concealments between us husband and wife! If you don't tell me, I'll be really angry! And you can't lie to me now. I know what you're thinking even if you move your toes!"
Song Qi looked at her little mouth as she spoke. It was like a small pistol. Although her mouth was not big, her firepower was quite strong. However, his young wife was right and he could not hide it.
"Forget it, I'll tell you. My people are investigating the national treasury, and it's going to be very difficult to get in. Xu Zhengwen is very cautious, and every treasury is heavily guarded by soldiers, all of whom are close confidants of the Xu family who have been through thick and thin together. If all else fails, I'll have to go in person."
Ling Ju seemed to understand, "Wait, Song Qi, do you want to take me with you to help you?"
Song Qi hummed slowly, "Yes, I had this thought for a moment, but when I thought about you being pregnant, it was still too dangerous. So, I'd better go by myself."
"Wait, Song Qi, why do I feel like it's safer for you to take me with you? I have good hearing and eyesight, and I'm strong too. I think it's safer than going alone! Besides, we have a tacit understanding as husband and wife, which you can't compare to others."
"But I'm still worried. I can't let you be in any danger. If anything happens to you, it will be too late for me to regret it."
Ling Ju looked into his eyes and knew that this man was worried about her, but she was also worried about him. If Song Qi didn't take her with him, she would definitely find a way to go secretly. Wouldn't that make it easier for her to be discovered and exposed?
"Song Qi, take me with you. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to help myself and will go looking for you. That would be even more dangerous! You have a watch with you, so I can sense your location at any time. You won't lose out by taking me with you, and I won't hold you back."
Song Qi still didn't agree to her directly, "I'll think about it!"
When Ling Ju heard this, she knew that Song Qi had agreed.
In order to investigate the national treasury, Song Qi still needs to go through some procedures and formalities.
Although the Special Operations Team and the Investigation Brigade are both units under Song Zhiguo, Song Zhiguo and Xu Ziqing have a lot of overlap in their work and are very familiar with each other's work. Song Zhiguo must find a suitable reason to let Song Qi and Ling Yong leave Jingshi.
But before he could make a move, Xu Ziqing took the initiative to come to him.
It seems that the frequent visits between the Song and Yan families still make Xu Ziqing a little worried.
It hadn't been long before he could sit still any longer.
Song Zhiguo was just about to pack up and leave work when he saw Xu Ziqing coming to his office and smiled.
"Old Xu, why are you here?"
"Hey, it's been a while since I last saw you. I just ran into Lao Wang outside, so I thought I'd see if you were around and we could chat for a while."
Song Zhiguo smiled heartily, put down the briefcase he had picked up, and poured two cups of tea. "Come sit down and talk. It's been a long time since we last met."
Xu Ziqing took the tea and took a sip. "Everyone says the coming summer will be hot, but the hotter it gets, the more we need to drink hot tea."
"How do you say that?"
"This is what Chinese medicine says. How can we, a simple-minded person, understand this?"
"Oh, when did you become interested in Chinese medicine? I thought you didn't believe in it."
Xu Ziqing put down his teacup, rubbed his forehead, and sighed. "To be honest, Old Song, I've had frequent headaches and fevers over the years. I've seen Western doctors and received IV drips and acupuncture, but nothing has worked. I heard a while ago that Li Shiming had come back for a consultation, so I went over to see him. You wouldn't believe it, after two doses of medicine, my headaches have gotten much better."
Song Zhiguo casually glanced at Xu Ziqing's face, which was indeed a little tired, and thought to himself, you bastard, why aren't you dying of pain?
But he still asked with concern, "You never told me you had this problem before. I thought you were in better health than me. I used to suffer from insomnia. What's wrong with you?"
Xu Ziqing smiled and cried, "It's a long story. You still remember when we went on a mission in the early 1960s? The place I went to was a mountain valley, and the wind was cold and gloomy in the winter. I've had this problem ever since."
Song Zhiguo remained calm, knowing that the old man was deliberately testing him.
