From the moment she entered until she was inside the house, Jian Ling couldn't help but sigh, "You've finally found the right place. I feel much more at ease with you staying here. I was originally planning to have you go back to your old place. Anyway, everyone who needs to know knows you're still alive, so what's the point of hiding it?"
However, since there's a place like this, you should stay here. Try to hide for as long as you can. I don't know what Old Luo is thinking, but he needs to explain things clearly. What's the point of hiding like this every day?
Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "This place was also arranged by Jiang Jinyu. He asked me to stay here, so there must be people he knows in here."
As long as no one comes to check, I can do whatever I want. I don't even have to worry about where I should sleep at night.
Aunt Jian, I called you over because I have something important to tell you, because I have no evidence—"
As she spoke, she took out the map and briefly told her good friend about Gu Zhengfeng's situation.
Jian Ling was dumbfounded. "What are these people trying to do? Don't tell me they're planning a rebellion?"
Jiang Qiao gave a wry smile. "That's not necessarily true, but look at this position, and look at the opposite side. The enemy didn't drive my father down just for this position, did they?"
And they even chose such a far-away place. Do you think their motives could be anything but pure?
Aunt Jian, if I told this to others, they might not believe me. But given my current situation, I can't call my father directly. Writing a letter seems a bit unreliable. Putting aside the people secretly watching me, there's the question of how long it will take for the letter to arrive, and what if it gets lost?
You should talk to my dad about it, so he can be prepared.
Jian Ling was very clear about what she was saying, but how to say it was a skill in itself.
You know, it's not just Gu Zhengfeng listening on the other end of the phone; there are also operators at both ends.
Some things are fine to say among family members, but if outsiders hear them, they may have unexpected consequences.
Therefore, Jian Ling was particularly worried about how to say these words.
“Qiao’er, you teach me how to say it. If I were to tell your father that I can only pick the dry ones, I obviously can’t say that on the phone.”
Jiang Qiao knew about Jian Ling's characteristics; back then, she was a straightforward girl who liked to be direct.
“Okay, tell my dad that there’s a lot of snow in winter, and the ice jams might be severe in spring. We shouldn’t wait until the river swells before we start making preparations, or it will be too late.”
Jian Ling's eyes widened as she pressed for an answer, "That's all?"
Jiang Qiao nodded. "That's all. Don't say anything more. My dad will understand. Maybe he can even guess that you didn't say these words. Anyway, it's fine if you don't admit it. Don't forget, what you heard on the phone wasn't just my dad."
Jian Ling sighed, "If only we had a direct route, Jiang Qiao, tell me honestly, what are the chances of that happening?"
Jiang Qiao glanced at Jian Ling, then said with a serious expression, "It's very big. Cobra was able to defect to the Japanese back then, so finding another employer now wouldn't be difficult for them. Perhaps this was at the behest of their master."
Regardless of whose idea it was, we still have to face it in the end, especially my dad. It's always better to make plans and preparations in advance than to scramble at the last minute.
Furthermore, I don't know much about the blueprints the enemy stole before. Are there any routes for transporting supplies? You'd better ask Jiang Jinyu about this and give him a heads-up. That's all you need to say.
Jianling had another worry in her heart: "You know, your parents and your younger brother are all over there, and there's no one in this family to help them. If it weren't for this cobra, your Uncle Zhou and I would definitely have gone over to help."
Regardless of whether they have any intention or not, if they dare to do it, we'll beat them back. Do they really think we're easy to bully? Do they think it's like the Japanese invasion of China?
That unlucky Xu Shaoqing, how many people have died over the years? How come this scoundrel is still alive? He's just here to cause trouble.
Jiang Qiao sighed and hugged Jian Ling's arm. "That's right. But if they don't die, we're out of options. We can only try to catch them."
Speaking of Xu Shaoqing, Jian Ling felt intense hatred. Her best friend had died at his hands, and she had an irreconcilable grudge against him. She even wished she could take his life with a single blow.
"Qiao'er, why do I feel like they've all become withdrawn lately?"
Jiang Qiao snorted, "Firstly, we're scared. We've been chasing them quite closely lately. Xu Shaoqing's remaining men are all elites. If we lose even one, we can't make up for it."
Secondly, I guess they're probably holding back for the next operation. However, I don't know what the next operation will be about. Unless Xu Shaoqing and the special envoy are captured, it's hard to know.
By the way, how are things at home? Are my grandpa and the others alright?
Jian Ling smiled and nodded, saying while eating an orange, "Much better. Zhang Dalei went over and took the witness away, which should put the old man's mind at ease."
Besides, you've already taken things back with you, your grandfather should understand, right?
Jiang Qiao nodded. "This is the only thing I can do. If the news that I'm alive gets out, it will be bad for everyone."
That's good. I'm just worried that Xu Shaoqing and his group won't take action for a while. If I get further along in my pregnancy, I really won't have the energy to deal with them. I hope they will take action soon.
By the way, has there been any news from over there?
Jian Ling shook her head. "Not yet. Old Wang and my husband, Old Zhou, are now directly under your old director's command. It seems we're still short-handed. But those two are tight-lipped. When they go back, they don't usually talk about what your old director talks to them about."
However, I did see that Cui Changfa and his men were already making preparations. Could it be that the enemy is about to make their move?
Jiang Qiao really didn't know about this. If it were true, it would probably be a top-secret matter, and wouldn't be made public so early unless absolutely necessary.
"Don't be impatient. Sooner or later, when we're needed, you'll know my Uncle Zhou. He cares about you and he can handle things himself, so he won't let you get involved."
By the way, what is Ye Xiuhe doing now?
"When I was with Old Hou, besides cooking for everyone, the two of us would go out for a stroll when we had nothing to do. As for where we went, I don't know."
Now, Old Wang and your Uncle Zhou are in command over there. I'm just responsible for contacting you and them, so there are some things I genuinely don't know.
Jiang Qiao nodded and said while drinking water, "When we get back, ask my Uncle Song how things are going with my uncle. Make sure to protect these two people. The Wen family only has these two seedlings left."
“Okay, I’ll ask about it for you later. I think that since Song Zhi agreed, he can definitely handle it. If anyone dares to mess with your uncle and his group, they’ll probably have to walk right into their trap. It’s good that we have another clue.”
