Last night, Jiang Qiao had already figured it out. She had to go into the city. The real heroes hide in plain sight. Besides, the place where Cobra was going to make its next move might be right here. That's why they sent the person she had captured over. She guessed that Cobra was definitely hiding in some corner of the capital.
The countryside or suburbs are not very suitable. After all, people live in villages where everyone knows each other. If someone comes to visit, everyone in the village will know. Cobra will probably take this into consideration.
Meanwhile, the people Jian Ling brought back kept Dong Kaizhen busy for quite a while. Before dawn, they left with their men. She knew that this person had a batch of finished bombs. She wouldn't feel at ease until they were seized quickly. If those bombs fell into the enemy's hands, the number of people who would be harmed would be very large.
As for who to hand this person over to, Dong Kaizhen didn't say, but told Jian Ling to rest assured that the other party would handle it well.
Jian Ling hadn't slept all night either, so she quickly caught up on sleep after getting back. As for Jiang Qiao, she wasn't too worried. That girl was smart enough; if Jiang Qiao wanted to hide, catching her would probably be quite difficult.
Moreover, it seemed that they were being watched. She also noticed that Dong Kaizhen didn't seem puzzled or surprised by this, so she guessed it probably wasn't an enemy.
With someone protecting her outside, what was she afraid of? She could sleep soundly.
Qin Junlin sighed, "Jian Ling has probably been busy all night again. I wonder how things are going. You guys eat first, I've saved some food for her."
The veterans sighed, "We don't know how Jiang Qiao is doing. Tell me, with the girl like this, we don't know how to help her. We don't even know if the letter we wrote has reached the relevant departments."
Qin Junlin smiled and said, "It's alright, they'll arrive sooner or later. We just need to believe that Jiang Qiao isn't that kind of person. As for the rest, we still have Jian Ling and the others. Since they're here, they must have their own solutions."
"Those enemies are a bit difficult to deal with, so we can't rush things. Once Jian Ling wakes up, we'll ask her properly and see if we can help in any way."
The veterans sighed one after another, "If Jiang Qiao were here, things would be much easier. With her in command, even though our movements aren't very convenient, we can still play our due role, right?"
Qin Junlin was also worried about Jiang Qiao. Based on that girl's personality, she wasn't the type to run away, so the murder had absolutely no connection to Jiang Qiao.
But their belief was useless. Besides, Jiang Qiao's continued absence was not in line with her usual behavior. He couldn't say these things. These old brothers had deep feelings for Jiang Qiao, and he didn't want to upset them during the New Year.
"Don't worry, Jiang Qiao must have gone to do something else. She was wronged, so she has to find a way to clear her name. That girl, don't be fooled by her usual smiling and quiet demeanor. When she really gets serious, I think there's nothing she can't do if she sets her mind to it."
Jiang Qiao is not one to suffer losses easily, so don't worry. Who knows, she might show up in front of us at any time.
Chunzi nodded in agreement, "Uncle, Sister Jiang Qiao must have her own way."
Everyone was eating and chatting when two people entered the courtyard. Before anyone else could react, Chunzi jumped up and shouted, "Grandpa Hou, oh my god, Uncle Zhou is here too!"
Hou Diankui, these veterans had seen him before. Years ago, this old man had come here to find something for Jiang Qiao.
This was the first time they had met Zhou Yu, but the fact that Hou Diankui had managed to return at this time was enough to excite them.
"Oh, Old Hou's here! Happy New Year!"
After Hou Diankui and Zhou Yu entered the house, they warmly hugged each of them, saying, "Brothers, you're all doing well. I've missed you all so much."
"We miss you too, and we're hoping you can come over."
Hou Diankui pulled Zhou Yu over and introduced him to everyone, "This is Jian Ling's man, his name is Zhou Yu."
Everyone knew that Zhou Yu was Jian Ling's man, and they all started joking around, which was quite unusual for them.
"Oh my, it's great to finally see you in person! Your wife has had a tough time these past few days, running around everywhere. It's so good that you could come. Now we have some help. Come, come, sit on the kang (heated brick bed). You haven't eaten yet, have you? Go wash up quickly, let's eat—"
After Zhou Yu and Hou Diankui finished washing up, they sat down again and ate and chatted, mainly about Jiang Qiao.
Zhou Yu was still worried about his wife, so he quickly finished eating and went to the backyard to check on her.
Jianling heard the lively sounds from the front yard while she was in the backyard. She had almost finished sleeping when she saw her husband push the door open and come in.
"Hey, when did you guys arrive?"
Zhou Yu smiled and looked you up and down. "I just arrived. I just finished eating and came to see you. How are you? Are you alright?"
Jian Ling sighed, "Don't even mention it. Everything has gone wrong for us since you left. Do you have any thoughts on Jiang Qiao's matter?"
Zhou Yu glanced at his wife and said, "Don't tell me you've never met Jiang Qiao."
Jian Ling sighed, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
Zhou Yu chuckled. "We're husband and wife, and we used to be colleagues. Tell me, what else do you want to hide from me? Can you really keep it a secret? Oh dear, Jiang Qiao asked you to keep this a secret. I guess it's really hard on you. Are you feeling particularly frustrated?"
In front of her own man, Jian Ling spoke freely, revealing a rare, submissive side to herself.
"Yes, I'm so frustrated, but I can't tell anyone. Jiang Qiao almost died, but luckily someone saved her..."
After listening to Jian Ling's words, Zhou Yu was silent for a while. "Keep it a secret. Jiang Qiao has her reasons for doing this. If it gets out, the enemy might continue to have designs on her. It's no good if these things keep their eyes on her."
Jian Ling's brows were furrowed so deeply they could kill a fly. "But Jiang Qiao is pregnant. You're telling me to let her hide outside all by herself? It's fine for the adults, but wouldn't the baby in her belly suffer along with Jiang Qiao?"
This is her and Haozi's first child. If—and I mean if—something happens, we'll be letting Haozi and his family down.
Zhou Yu sighed, "Jiang Qiao has her own way of doing things. Don't worry, that girl won't mistreat herself. She's traveled all over the country. If she didn't have some skills, how many people do you think could do what Jiang Qiao does?"
However, the lack of activity on our side seems a bit odd. Whose child has been taken away, and then something bad happened? Why aren't they standing up for themselves? We need to make a scene.”
"Make a scene? How can you make a scene? You know the situation of the Gu family. If you let Gu Hanting make a scene, won't that give them a handle to use against you?"
As for the Gu brothers, it's even less likely to work. Jiang Qiao told Haozi before she left that he wasn't allowed to leave home and that he should wait patiently for her return. Besides, Haozi works for the government; if things get out of hand, it won't look good for him either.
