Chapter 389 Lingering Fear



Jiang Qiao flashed into the space. After Shen Ruifang left, she came out and looked at the departing figure in the distance. Tears streamed down her face again. Back then, when she helped this guy, she didn't think too much. She never expected that this companion would help her the most.

"Take care, I wish you happiness, thank you—"

Although she knew Shen Ruifang couldn't hear her words, they were heartfelt thanks and blessings. She remembered this kindness and would repay it when she had the chance in the future.

She turned and went to the pile of ashes. She took out some more paper from her spatial storage, lit it, and this time burned it for her family.

When the fire reignited, Jiang Qiao suddenly felt as if her body was exploding, and she immediately fainted.

The pile of ashes on the ground seemed to be attracted by something, slowly forming a vortex in the air, and then this vortex tightly surrounded Jiang Qiao.

When Jiang Qiao opened her eyes again, she didn't know how much time had passed. Anyway, she felt cold all over. The moment Jiang Qiao opened her eyes, the ashes suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Jiang Qiao rubbed her head and got up with a puzzled look on her face. She didn't even understand what had just happened. However, she had a feeling that something was wrong with the space. Otherwise, why would she have that feeling when she was perfectly fine?

She had burned paper money for her relatives before, but this had never happened before. Could it be that the way Shen Ruifang burned the paper money had caused a change?

Thinking of this, she flashed into the space. Seeing the changes inside, she was both amused and delighted. Before, it was just one acre of land, but now it had grown larger, and there was even a pasture next to it. If she wasn't mistaken, that place should be suitable for raising animals. But didn't the space previously forbid bringing live animals in? She had always thought that this space was a bit too clean and didn't like the droppings produced by living creatures. Now it seemed that her initial guess was wrong, but she couldn't explain the changes before her eyes.

With a sigh, he said, "It seems your little darling has quite a temper. It doesn't show its true colors until the crucial moment. Looks like I might need to keep some living creatures as pets from now on."

She was naturally happy that the space had expanded. Since she had nothing else to do, she busied herself in the space, collecting what needed to be collected and planting what needed to be planted. She just wasn't sure if she could cook in this space.

But thinking about it, she decided not to experiment. If the space was filled with all sorts of strange smells, not only she, but even the space itself probably couldn't stand it. There was a lot of food stored here, so it was better to proceed step by step. She guessed that the appearance of this small ranch must have its own purification ability, otherwise, how could she still smell the odor here after a long time?

Cut the beehives where necessary, and stir them up where necessary.

Despite how long she worked in the space, time didn't pass quickly after she came out.

She glanced at her watch, then quickly grabbed her things and went back. She was worried that if Gu Zhixuan couldn't find her, he would find her himself. She was fine, but she couldn't let anything happen to her brother.

On the way back, she digested the information she had just heard. Now she could rule out Shen Ruifang and her husband. The most suspicious person now was Xu Mingdong's wife.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qiao's steps became much lighter. If she could win over this woman, things would be much better for Shen Ruifang and Zhou Yu. This was the only thing she could do for her friends. She happily hummed a little tune as she went back.

They ran into Yang Yunqi and Song Zhi as soon as they arrived at the hotel entrance. Seeing that Jiang Qiao had returned, these people were quite anxious.

"Girl, where have you been? It's so late, you didn't even tell your brother—"

Jiang Qiao said apologetically, "Uncle, I went out to check something and made you worry. Come on, let's go inside and talk. Oh, by the way, I came across a small night market on the way. This is what I bought. Please try it."

Jiang Qiao pulled out a few plump, juicy apples. Song Zhi was about to scold her, but for the sake of the apples, he said nothing. He grabbed an apple, rubbed it against his clothes, and then started eating it right away.

"Mmm, it tastes great. Let's go inside and talk."

Song Zhi and his group lived on the first floor. Jiang Qiao and her group went to Song Zhi's room. As soon as everyone sat down, Jiang Qiao first shared the apples from her bag with everyone.

Song Zhi brought Zhao Jian and another policeman. Song Zhi is going to a meeting tomorrow, so Zhao Jian and the other comrade will have to assist with the following matters. Since Song Zhi brought them along, they must be his confidants. Jiang Qiao is not worried about that.

As everyone ate, they listened to her explanation. First, Jiang Qiao told everyone that she ruled out the possibility of the traditional Chinese medicine doctor, but then she changed the subject.

"The other party said that the woman always said some inexplicable things. They felt that the woman had mistaken someone else for someone else, but the woman was persistent. I think the most suspicious person now is Xu Mingdong's wife."

However, based on the previous analysis, if she only listened to radio broadcasts, how did she contact others? These people can't just receive information, right? They must have to contact their superiors, right?

Who has the radio? Not everyone can have a codebook, right? Nine times out of ten, this woman is the one who has the codebook. Besides, receiving signals from the radio means it can only be from that side. We'll have to figure out this woman's identity eventually.

After listening, Song Zhi looked at Zhao Jian and then at Yang Yunqi. "You all tell me, is Jiang Qiao's analysis correct? And, Lao Yang, what have you learned today?"

Yang Yun nodded thoughtfully. "What Jiang Qiao said earlier makes a lot of sense. That's why I've been investigating the people she's been in contact with."

What a coincidence! This afternoon, I went to the underground black market, and do you know who I saw there?

This sentence attracted everyone's attention. Seeing that everyone was looking over, Yang Yunqi didn't hold back anymore. "My old rival, do you know who he's with? It's that old man Jiang Mei is with, that underground black market. I'm starting to suspect that they're secretly controlling it."

"An old rival? So you mean—"

Yang Yunqi smiled and nodded. "You know what I did back then, so it's not surprising that I know him. He was sent down from above to work as an inspector in the garrison."

Later, I went with this person to his place, but I didn't dare to get close. However, I did find out his name. He had changed his name. I heard from the neighbors that this person seemed to be in charge of the market management office.

That's all I know. What's the next step?

Song Zhi and his men are regular troops; the main opinions should be obtained by regular troops.

The only person at the scene who was still a little scared was probably Gu Zhixuan. He had even gone to the black market today. Unexpectedly, his sister was right. There really were enemy agents hiding there. Fortunately, the enemy agents were not targeting him, otherwise, it would have been hard to say whether he could have come back today.
